It's the campus WHAT? Crusade for Christ

My friend Drew knows the guy in the red hoodie, he was on a summer project with him. Pretty good parody if you ask me.

If you haven't seen the original, you can see it here , SNL's Chronicles of Narnia.

Lego like Crazy

So I was on the verge of selling all of my legos on eBay, however Luke stopped me at the last second and said, "WAIT! My future children! They want those!" So Luke now has my very nicely kept sets of legos. This right here? This is an indoor soccer arena, brought to you by the lego people. Click the link for pictures of this amazing and undoubtedly very time comsuming structure.
Crazy Legos

Music doth soothe the savage beast

Sooo I had a cool experience the other day. Robby was kind of annoying me, so I put in some Jack Johnson and he fell asleep. Mere conicidence? Lets just say that I have a new reason to enjoy Jack Johnson.

Random Post: Chuck Norris

Heck Yes, it's Chuck. And what a man. Here's a memorable quote from this killer machine:
"Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth." -Chuck Norris

Here's one about him:
Guns don't kill people...Chuck Norris kills people.

Professor Muscutariu: You must understand him

This is a post which will let you the readers understand who my night class professor is. His name is Ioan (John) Muscutariu. In his classes, you will hear many interesting variants of the English language. As he is from Romania, he will probably never speak perfect english. These are some examples of what this yields:
"When I talk, you pay me attention"
"You did good job on quiz? I give you chocolate"
"Yohn, how you say? (Jon??) Yes, Jon. Here your paper."
"Please question. You ask me question any time."
"There are an eagle..."
"When you look at sky"
[Writes on board] "Earse is our planet"
"We are not in sowsa hemisfeer"
"Ansheeen Astro Nomers....very rich imagination!"
"I lost our Earth! I lost our sun! I am very powerful man, yes?"

The funniest part is that I've created and posted this all during the class. Shame on me. But hey, what's a guy going to do in a 4 hour night class?

Late night BF2

Luke, I told you not to play on the slidey rope when they were setting the concrete!!


Luke, I told you not to use the slidey rope without your athletic supporter!

Stereophonics

I've talked to a lot of guys who burned out of blogging...

I wonder if that's where I'm headed. We'll see. I'm still really enjoying it for the most part.

I think my life is going to change radically for the better in the near future of my life.

You know those moments where you interrupt each other on IM, or conversations go 2 different ways? Some are quite funny without the continued speak.
[21:04] Jessica Patchen: how will i get in?
[21:04] elgwhoppo: sausage
I wonder how Kevin's break is going. I'm pretty sure he said he was going to see his niece. His NIECE. HE IS AN UNCLE. And he's a couple months older than me. Absolutely crazy.

The Following friends of mine are married (ages in parentheses)
-Josh, Julie (20, 20)
The Following friends of mine are engaged
- Josh, Angel (20, 20)
The following friends of mine aren't married or engaged:
Aaron, Wes, Jake, Chris, Matt.
*Disclaimer-when I say friends, I mean from my MCA buds circle. Don't take offense.

It's just crazy. My friend luke was married at 20. She was still in college, and they are still happily living together in a great house.

i decided to paste the lyrics from my currently playing song, because they're quite interesting. Feel free to skip them if you are shallow and don't look for meaning in words.

You asked me so where have you been
Let me think now let me see
I stood once where Hitlers feet
had stood when he made his speech
In Nuremburg in thirty eight
When he tried to build the perfect race
He said black man ain't gonna run
Alongside our perfect sons

There was Dallas too, the library
The place they ended Kennedy
We stood where Oswald took his shot
In my opinion there's a bigger plot
Costners back and to the left
The picket fence the better bet
Paris came and summer went
The tunnel's now a flower bed

The famous turf that made Jeff Hurst
The vodka stops to quench my thirst
The Golden Gate stroke Alcatraz
And the fat man failed to get us passes
Jimmys corner in Raging Bull
De Niros jokes and bottled pills
Elvis tales from Mr Woodward
Any Richard Burton if you could

Tourists stare at tourist stops
One more picture one more God
Another top up for a change
It makes you think, it makes you sane
Talking more about yourself
There's a mirror too, have a check
Cheques are always passing through
Some depart but a lot come too

Restaurant talk or pick your teeth
You bite your tongue or chew your meat
Sleep or drink or drink to sleep
And one more week and we will meet
We'll talk of what we haven't done
Since we departed back a month
We argue why we have to shout
All in all it's nice to be out.

I really like how it all comes back to the relationship.
He tells her of his travels in the world, how deep down he misses her, comes back, fights with her and realizes it's been nice to be out.
Every song when you get down to it pretty much is about relationships.


I don't want to get married. Actually, I take that back, I don't want to think about it. I just want to chill. Who needs to think about something that heavy now, GOSH!?? I want to be free of such a heavy topic!

Virginia trip is nearing, can't wait.

The Girls Came Over, and now BREAK!

So yesterday I got to meet one of Sarabeth's friends Kristine, and it was pretty cool because she is the first of SB's old friends that I have met! Holy cow...Hmmm...maybe she's hiding me from them...But seriously, it was cool to meet you Kristine.





Now for the question....to dye the roots, or cut it??!! GAH!! I need help with that one!

Now it's time for SPRING BREAK! Freakin yes!!

Now for a completely random statement. Through the concrete walls I just heard one of my neighbors try to sing the McDonald's "I'm Lovin it" slogan, and fail miserably. Wow. I gotta get outta here.
