Like Chairman Of The Board

So, I get really distracted sometimes and forget to write the things that I want to write.

Sorry, like right now.  I'm watching Transformers 2, and it just got to the part where Sam makes out with the killer robot chick thing and she totally attacks him with her giant killer tongue.  So my mind started thinking of how creepy, gross, and terrifying that would be.
Now I'm thinking about how cool it would be to be a stuntman.  I think it would awesome!

Now what was I saying.  Oh right!  Forgetting to write things.  I've had a pretty crazy week, if I remember correctly.
I don't remember exactly when the last tiem I updated was, but I think it was during the whole sickness thing.

Ya, thankfully I finally got over that.  It was totally a flu of some kind, but not h1n1, so don't freak out.


You have no idea how hard it is to concentrate on writing while giant robots are killing each other just inside your peripheral vision.
Looking at that word, does this thing have spell check?  I dunno.  I don't think so.


Megatron has HUGE legs.


Yup, it does have spell check, because it told me that Megatron isn't a word.


I should really just write this another time.  Try it sometime.  Try writing something important while the world is being blown up.  Thank heavens that news doesn't have to be written and posted on the spot.

Life is good right now!  I am very happy.


OH!  That's what I was gonna post tonight.  About a time when I wasn't happy.  That was earlier today.  Let me tell you why:


It also told me that wasn't isn't a word.  And isn't.  That's a little terrifying.


So, in my public speaking class this morning there was an explosion of emotion.  None of which was good.
In my class I am known as the jokester.  I am the one who always has something to say.  People laugh.  It's fantastic, I promise.
Either way, one of the students had a breakdown and started having a heated discussion with the teacher.  I will avoid the details, but needless to say, it was uncomfortable.  VERY uncomfortable.


That's probably enough half-hearted rambling for today.

IT'S OFFICIAL!

This is where I make some huge announcement that would blow the socks of the internet!  Unfortunately the only thing I have to announce is that I'M FREAKIN' SICK!!!  Not just your garden variety sick, but like, I have gone through an entire box of kleenex, a quart of YO-J, over a gallon of water, and a bushel of grapes.  There was other food mixed in there, don't worry.
But holy cow!  I never get sick like this!!
Talk about bummers!

PLUS, I have already missed one day of work, and forced to miss at LEAST one more on Wednesday and am missing all of my classes tomorrow.
School I don't REALLY feel terrible about, but work stinks.

So, that's all!
Talk to you later.

Question of the day?
When was the last time you were sick?  Are you sick now?  What happened?!?!

Community

I watched this show called "Community" from it's first airing on Hulu.
(I have to watch it there because I have class on Thursday night)
It has joined the ranks of The Office, Family Guy, and Modern Family, being the only shows that I insist on watching every week.
Now, Community is a strange show, in which I don't think the writers have entirely solidified the characters, their roles or interactions, but I think it has a lot of potential.  It may not be the greatest show in the world right now, but I will continue to watch it with hopes that it will get better.  I don't think I've ever felt this hopeful for a show before, usually it's just, HEY!  I'M AWESOME!!  WATCH ME!!! (ever increasing exclamation points included)
The Office was amazing this week.

This is probably the last time I will spend an entire session talking about only TV shows, because I'm already bored by it.

Hopefully I will be going to see Boogie Wonderland tonight in Fridley with a couple good friends!  Wish me luck!

All The World Is Waiting For The Sun

I promise not to mention fecal matter this time around, k?

So, I should really do something about this whole inferiority complex thing.  It's SERIOUSLY dragging me down, and I don't want to be dragged down.

Today was a pretty interesting day:
-Started off with taking a test in my Public Speaking class, for which I did not study, and knew very little concerning the subject matter.  LUCKILY, I am a genius, and probably passed with flying colors.
-Went to work and had a WONDERFUL time in the stock room doing what I do best.  That's right, punching boxes.
-Went to school, again, and listened through Marketing.  Part of the way through I realized I had too many sodas today, however, because my Wild Cherry Pepsi was not tasting so great anymore.
-Turns out, by random survey, that I am one of two people in the class who has a blog!  WHO KNEW!  This turned out to be very strange because soon after people were asking me what my blog was about, or what I talked about, and what issues I confronted.  I just shrugged and said, "my life?"  I didn't know that people blogged for a reason!  I just thought it was one of those things you do when you have nothing else to do, or when you want to say something, but have nowhere to really say it.  I didn't know I was supposed to be debating political scandals or anything...
Which leads me to love my blog even more.  While some people may decide to take stances on important issues, and share their beliefs through a blog, I am glad to just share my strange life with you.

If you have a blog, what do you blog about?
If you don't, but want one, what would you write about?
If you don't, and DON'T want one, bugger off.

Don't Worry, Be Happy!

I'm going to let you in a big secret.  We're going to take a trip down into the inner sanctum of my soul for this one.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
Here goes...
I always seem to poo at the most awkward times.
Like if someone has left their keys in my house, and they're pounding in the window to get back in.
Like at the end of a date.
Like at the beginning of a date.
Like in the middle of a date.
Like right as the girls show up.
Like two minutes after I went to the bathroom at work.
It's a burden I tell you!  And these are not just happy little bathroom trips, no.  These are fantastic battles of good vs. evil.  Sauren vs. Gandolf 1-on-1 action in my toilet bowl.  I won't say which one I am, but I am certainly no evil dark lord of all that is evil and dark.

Phew, it feels good to get that off my chest.  Now we can move on to better things!

So, I watched the Dragonball Evolution movie this evening at a friend's house, and I must say: IT WAS AWESOME!  Although my friends told me not to waste my time on it, and that it was really lame, and no one should see it, I persevered.(Is that spelled right?)
Sure, it didn't follow the story line.
I'll grant you that it was lacking a LOT of main characters.
It also had nothing in common with the TV show besides the fact that it was about balls...involving dragons, a thing named Goku, another thing named Balma, and a couple more named ChiChi, Yamcha, and Master Roshi.  Oh ya, and Piccolo.  What's up with that guy?
DESPITE all of these glaring, terrible things about the movie, I loved it purely.  Much like how Jonathon loved David.  Sure, he might have walked on rooftops after midnight.  He allegedly slept with strange women, and then conspired to have their husbands murdered, but does that change what Jonathon thinks of him?  No.
This describes my love for this movie.  It was great in it's own way.

In other news, I had amazing pizza for lunch!

Trying to get home tonight, I got lost in downtown St. Paul for a while, and ended up crossing the Highway 52 bridge MORE than once.

Now, I need to work out quick, and get to bed, so I can wake up ready for my Public Speech Exam that I haven't studied for!

P.S. TOTALLY have a new celebrity crush in Emmy Rossum.  Way better looking than a cartoon Bulma.  AND she played Christine in the new Phantom of the Opera.  Killer voice in semi-victorian garb shooting laser guns?!  Sign me up!! Twice.

Rain, Rain...MAKE ME SOME HOT CHOCOLATE!

Sitting in the lounge/coffee area on east campus of Century college, watching the rain fall outside and listening to instrumental music (right now it's "Dearly Beloved" from the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack) is terribly relaxing.  I have finished all the homework-esque things I need to do for today, completely ignoring my Marketing homework, with a knowledge that I can do it tomorrow.
Walking to my first class this morning in the rain made me feel very jealous of people who had nothing to do today.  If I had nothing to do, walking in the rain would be a joy, but since I had somewhere to be, and things to do, walking in the rain was more of a nuisance.  Strange how, just because of circumstances, a simple thing can mean drastically different things.  Like laughter at a graduation party and laughter at a funeral.

I wish I had a hot cocoa to drink right now.  Like the one I purchased earlier.  Simply delicious.  I don't know the girls name who works every Tuesday morning at the Caribou on West Campus, but she makes a darn good hot chocolate.  I should know.  I get one every week.


I have a meeting for my second service learning opportunity in an hour, and I would be pretty nervous, if it wasn't for the serenity of the rain outside the window.

Have you ever played the game "life story?"  Where you and someone else sit in a public place and analyze all the people around you, making up ficticious life stories for them, leading them to be exactly where they are now.  It's fun with two people.  It's slightly creepy when you are the only one doing it.  You should try it sometime!  Coffee shops, malls, and restaurants are especially good places to try this out.

Being a person with a rather complicated, and full, social calendar, it is awesome to just sit for a bit and watch the world around me, wondeirng where everyone else is running to.

Oh philosophy, why do you have to be so pointless?

One Line Lullaby

So, I am kind of obsessed with finding cool titles for songs that maybe someday I will be talented enough to write. Therefore, any really cool sentence, I try to remember for years in the future. Thought you should know.

WHAT IS NEW!!!!!?
Well, let's address the elephant in the room. Of COURSE I am a little saddened by the Packer-Vikings game. I love the Packers. Always have. Always will. But are you serious, guys?! How 'bout an offensive line! Granter, Jared Allen is a behemoth of a Paul Bunyun of a man, but can't we keep him off of Rodgers for like, 2 seconds? And while we're talking about keeping people off of other people, how 'bout we grow up our defensive line a little bit so they can TOUCH THE OTHER QUATERBACK IN 7.54 SECONDS! That was just embarrassing. It was a piss poor game for the Pack, that's for certain.

ALSO, did you know that it was National Flash Your Buddy Day? I didn't!! That is, until a certain co-worker of mine informed me with a picture and message sent to him by his friend, informing him! Who knew we HAD such national holidays!!?

My neck hurts.

I have to be up in just over 7 hours, and what I am doing? Posting on this silly blog. Where have my priorities gone!! Certainly up from where they used to be, when at this time I would either be playing WoW or hanging out with women! Two polar opposite activities, neither of which I am terribly proud of.

ANOTHER fun thing I learned today is that I have lost over 10 lbs since being home from my mission!! Granted, I've been home for almost a year, but seriously! I am so proud/happy with myself. You should be, too!

I start my SECOND Service Learning project tomorrow afternoon at a nearby high school tutoring after school. Do I know anything about tutoring? Nope. Do I know anything about high school? Probably not anymore. What? You may say to yourself, "But Boy, haven't you only been graduated from High School for a couple years?" The answer is yes! But I bet it has changed a ton, what with these hip-hop videos and emo bands running rampant! Darn hooligans! Before you know it, I'll have to chase the kids off my lawn with a shovel, telling them to pull up their pants and explaining that when I was their age we respected our elders!!

I'm pretty sure I had more to say, but I can't remember what it was. Chances are, it was not terribly important...
