Hey look, I'm cultured

Walking out of another boring English lecture today I noticed a small discrete newsstand that I know will make at least one reader very happy.

"Free New York Times, couresty of Student Government Association"

If such quality stuff (that admittedly, I have never read regularly, rather have been force-fed small pieces of) is out there for free, heck yea I'll take one. I have been feeling a bit "out of the loop" lately on pretty much everything outside of Sportscenter so hopefully that will fill the void.

Looks like NYT just found themselves a new regular.

Note to self: Don't piss off University Police

Especially if a presidental candidate (former, only?) is in the same room.

I have a few questions about the whole thing. Most importantly, what is it about tasers that make it so newsworthy when people misuse the things?! For the record, all those linked articles were uploaded to google news (which pretty much gets them as soon as they are published) within the past nine FREAKIN HOURS.

Whew, now the next thing. "A university spokesman said campus police cut the microphone and removed Meyer because he had overstayed his allotted time to question the senator." What? So then he doesn't leave, sooooo you pull out our ole' trusty friend. Riiiiight. Heck, if anything taser the guy cause it was a stupid freakin' question.

Which brings me to my final (more lighthearted) point... did Kerry then actually answer the question? If either him or Bush were in the skull and crossbones, that would be sweet...

Three Reasons why Tecmo Super Bowl rules

With an emphasis on the SUPER

1.) Tecmo SUPER bowl (unlike its ugly little brother) had the ability to hold full seasons, complete with stat tracking and a post-season playoff EXACTLY like the true NFL. Quite the accomplishment for its time. Still my second favorite season mode of all time (that is, any sports genre) Hint: Madden's "franchise" mode is not my favorite.

2.) B. A. and a d-pad. Simplicity is beauty. No hit-stick. No fancy graphics to slow gameplay. Just good ole fashioned FOOTBAW!!!!!!111!1!1!one!!!!1AHHHHH!

3.) Bo-FREAKIN' Jackson.

No I will not join your spam group.

I don't care if it IS to:

- Break a Guiness [sic] word record

-Fund for a free mamogram

- Get someone to streak at the last Red Sox/Yankees game

- Legally change your name to [fill in the blank]

- Support [x] rights

- Lower the age to do [x] to [y]

Because, A) It just pisses me off. I think I'm taking the vegetarian approach to this ordeal where maybe if I don't join these groups, people will maybe eventually take a hint. B) I really don't care about most of them. Call me apathetic, I would rather not think that I am defined by the buttons I click, even though some conspiracy theorists say I am.

Hurl

I hereby renounce any affiliation to anything college football related. Ever. It is a sick sick addiction and I now see the light.

But Michigan can still suck my-

September 25 cannot come soon enough. Or me getting a 360, FO' FREE. (Money is expensive)

Heh...

BWOOONS!

I would right a long article praising the beauty (and satisfying popping sound of the bloons) of this game.... but that would waste valuable bloons time. Do it. Do it.


And if you really like it, play some of mine (I know, pretty easy so far.)

Fuze Green Tea rocks.

At least, FuzeGreenTea gets me through boring-chemistry-classes-that-I-already-know-everything-in (I guess my old chemistry teacher wasn't too bad). And hey, it's high in antioxidants to boot (whatever that means). If only it wasn't 2.50 a GLASS bottle. Hey Fuze people, plastic is cheaper, USE IT! I'm living in a world full of pop and milk (that interestingly sells EXTREMELY fast, whoda thunk it?), I want some cheap variety. Key word being cheap.

I heart my desktop background.

A little piece of P-town with me everywhere I go. Nothin like a little east-meets-west gangsta rap image to raise some eyebrows in religion class.

Just to get the bad taste out of my mouth...

I hate leaving things at just hello, so I'm gonna jump right into things now. Basically, I was near the beginning of the "off to school" group in my age. I'm running on my third week now, while most state schools are just moving in this weekend. I just wanna throw out my words of wisdom (since I'm basically a senior by now... right?? RIGHT?!?)

* This guy knows what he's talking about. So does this guy (ESPECIALLY numbers 1 and 9. Seriously, meet people on the floor ASAP. And wait on the books, the best way to look like a frosh is to go to the first day of classes with a full backpack.) Which brings up the next point. Take advice from people (and ask for it). It's not high school anymore, there's no senior/frosh hazing that I have seen.

* Enjoy the first weekend. It won't be that way every weekend.

* If something is free, take it. Refreshments at a meeting?? FILL UP. You're paying thousands of dollars for that cookie and pepsi sitting there.

* The first week on the school's food will be a struggle. Don't worry, the stomach will settle eventually.

* Facebook. Get used to it. You will be on it more than you want.

*Get a hobby. If not, Facebook (yes, capital F) will become said hobby. Fear that.

This is the New School....

I hate writing. I really do.

I would much rather be talking to you right now. Talking is a lot easier. The whole grammar thing is such a downer when it comes to the written word.

BUT... I feel that the situation I am in right now is so unique that it begs telling. Nay, TYPING.


Actually, unique is not really a good word. I'm just one of the millions of college age kids out there currently living in what is commonly thought of as "the best years of our lives." Jeez, what a happy thought.

Let me paint the picture a little more clear. I'm currently going to a private school with a catholic (marianist to be specific) affiliation. It's probably a little more towards the conservative side overall (well, as conservative as a college in the 21st century gets... hint: not very), but other than that, just think of it as "college." Honestly, as of now at least, I don't think that "where" is going to matter as much as the ... well... everything else.

Oh, and yes, the title is a homage to the greatest movie of all time, "Old School." Truly a classic. And also because probably the majority of the people reading this went to college back in like, the 1870s or something. I thought it was strangely apropos for that reason too.

To close it out, I can almost guaruntee right off the bat that this will be the longest and most confusing entry ever. I know this for two reasons. One, I have always sucked at introductions.



And, I hate writing.
