Games
You know what was a good game growing up? Four square. I don't know about anybody else but in elementary school this game ruled supreme on the play ground. Kids would wait in line for nearly all recess for a shot to play this game. However it is true that there was alot of ganging up involved in the game. Everybody knows that there is a king, queen, jack and the challenger and the first three would gang up on the challenger to keep their dynasty alive. Man, that was a great game even though you were basically on your own if you were the challenger.

Showering
Showering at Penn State has its ups and downs. I will start with the downs. You have to wear sandals at all times when showering for fear of sexually transmitted diseases which are clearly in those stalls. Seriously you can see them jumping around in there. Also when ou first turn the shower on it is incredibly cold then heats up to incredibly hot. The good things. Commradry. Its nice to be able to have a conversation with the guy the next stall over. Sometimes in my shower experiences we will break out into song and dance. But maybe thats just me.

Breakfast
I tell you, the greatest meal is breakfast. Not only is it the most important meal of the day but it definately tastes the best too. Especially cereal. I don't think that breakfast would be where it is today without the help of cereal. Right now I'm eating a bowl of peanut butter crunch. Let me tell you that me and the capn make it happen. I also use that phrase when I am drinking Captain Morgan. I think it is pretty funny and most people appreciate it. But its not just the cereal itself that makes cereal so good. It also has to do with the characters that are on the boxes. I mean where would we be without Count Chocula. I'll tell you where, nowhere. We'd be nowhere.

Confused
In all seriousness I don't know if we even need to write these things anymore. I mean I think we are supposed to but with all this proposal nonsense I don't know if those count for these or not. Well since I don't know I might as well give you an update. My life has been going up. I have been quite happy lately. Not too much work, mostly reading and studying and I'm getting ready to sign the contract on my apartment next year. The fellas on my floor are just as crazy as ever and it's going to be insane living with four of them next year. Im pretty excited. Class scheduling is coming up and I am going to take cruise courses when it comes to math and science because they are absolutely pointless in life. All I care is that things work, I don't care why or how it works just that it works. Math and Science leave me the hell alone!!!

Proposal transformation
I think that I am leaning towards how the media is constantly the scape goat for problems in society. I feel that the government has resorted to pointing fingers at movies, video games, television, and music as the force that is destroying society. I plan to argue how it is not the medias fault for everything that goes wrong in society. I can touch base with the Columbine School Shooting and its relation to video games. I can also discuss how children that end up violent at a young age doesn't have to do with the television programs they watch. I could propose that the allegations against the media industry are not just.
November 2, 2005
Narration
For my proposal I think that I would like to do something along the lines of media and the impact it has on society. I came to this interest because I feel I can write alot on that subject. I can use the film, music, television, and even video game industry to get my point across. Seeing as I know the ins and outs of all of those industries I think I will be able to expand my paper into ten pages. Perhaps I could argue how these industries constantly take the blame for problems in society. Or I could say that this industry has simply had a great impact on society.

A Much Needed Update
Hey there everybody, I realized I hadn't updated in a long time so I figured I probably should. This week I have been pretty busy between doing leg work for my apartment next year and studying for tests. It's weird how all of your tests always end up in the same week or the same day. I haven't slept in a long time. Halloween weekend really beats the hell out of you. Especially when your Willy Wonka and get invited into every party you pass. The weird thing is that I didn't even drink very much this weekend. Maybe I'm getting over that part of life or something. But then again maybe it was just that I have too high a tolerance and didn't get enough alcohol to do me in. Okay that last assignment we had, the movie review was a great assignment for me. I am a film major after all so it was pretty easy for me. Speaking of movies Saw 2 has just come out. Saw was a fantastic story with horrid acting on the part of the doctor that was locked in the room with the photographer. I really hope that they fixed that problem. That's pretty much it for today, I gots stuff to do. Later.

SNOW
Well I woke up and looked outside this morning and I saw white. All I could see was white, I couldn't believe that there were flurries coming down already. Its October! The weird thing was, that it was coming down and actually staying on the ground. For me it's a bit early for snow, I would like to wait until after Halloween. Speaking of that, I have no idea what I am going to do for Halloween. I think I 'm going to some party with my roommate but I don't know if that will fall through or not. Oh well I guess we'll find out. However for some reason I don't really feel like partying. I haven't felt like partying for some time now. I don't know what is wrong with me. I feel like I am losing myself or something. It probably has to do with the lack of sleep I have been getting. Oh well, I have a lot of work to do tonight so I am going to bid you all a farewell. WHY IS IT SNOWING!!!!

A Rough Night
Last Night I didn't sleep. I didn't sleep one hour. I just couldn't stop thinking. I just kept telling my mind to shut up but it just carried on. I couldn't stop thinking about what I had become. I kept trying to fathom why I decided to change myself when I arrived. I guess I was trying to reject my old self and create a new one. But all I was thinking last night was "What was wrong with the old me". I just kept wracking my brain until finally I made a decision. I was going to stop portraying this image of somebody I wasn't, I was going to return to my former self. That morning I had my roommate take a picture of me and I put that person behind me. I pulled out my earrings and now I can't wait until the red comes out of my hair. I don't know why I decided to do that. At least now that I did it I know I don't ever want to go back.

Plagiarism
The definition of plagiarism is "a piece of writing that has been copied from someone else and is presented as being your own work". This definition has come from an online dictionary and if one were to look in a published dictionary they would find relatively the same definition. However this definition is a bit vague. Plagiarism involves much more than a direct copy. If one were to take somebody elses findings and convert all of the words to different ones and present it, then it would also be a form of plagiarism. Plagiarism can be difficult to be avoided so the secret to it would be giving credit to the author of any other piece of work that was used in creating your work. However if no other help was used in creating your work, which is highly doubtful if it is a good paper, than you don't necessarily need to cite anybody else. However even if you don't use anothers help but your work bares a striking similarity to somebody elses, citation should still be used. A better definition for plagiarism in this day and age would be using somebodys work either by coincedence or otherwise to create a piece of work without citing your source of information.

A good night in the entertainment industry
Last night I caught a very good chunk of television. The new south park season began last night and let me tell you, it was fantastic. Seriously it was like Banana Sandwich in my mind. A little Dane Cook for you there. Okay Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators, writers and directors of South Park tackled the Hurricane Katrina escapade. Basically it was about blaming everybody for a disaster that was created and not doing anything to help the people who were in distress. It was seriously the best time I've had in a while and in no way is that sad at all. The last part of that sentence was from Anchorman from those of you who didn't catch that one. Also I caught Stephen Colberts new show called the Colbert Report. This is basically Colberts version of the Daily Show and to be honest, I like it better. Probably because it dumbs down alot of the news for me (even though most of the bits in the show are very inteligent). The Daily Show is just a bit too inteligent for me, I enjoy it but I'm not the smartest guy in the world. Okay thats enough from the entertainment world, now onto me. I think I have multi-personality disorder. I keep getting stuck in weird personalities. Like the other day I was stuck in an artistic sort of personality and I couldn't escape it. All I could do was think about film and music in a different sort of light than I normally do. All I was thinking about was writing music, and lyrics, and film scripts and screenplays and stories. It was really strange I just couldn't think about anything else. Or sometimes I get stuck in a cynical type of person who cannot stop poking fun at people. Or I go into a philosophical thinker and just stay very quiet all day and just think about life. Or I would just completely geek out for a whole day. Then I would come home at the end of the day and release a ton of energy before going to sleep. I don't know whats going on but it's getting weird. It's like all my inner personalities are taking over. I think I have a handle on it now though. It was just a weird couple of days. I think my head is straight now, if it gets worse maybe I should see a psychiatrist. I doubt it I'm prolly just over reacting, I was just mad because I felt drained all day probably from lack of sleep and I wasn't being myself. But what it did do is make me think of a badass picture idea for facebook. So I guess some good came out of it. BYE!!!
>>>I honestly think every episode of last season of South Park was definitely better than the first episode of this season, and in no way is that depressing -Bleepin Blizzzog

Evaluative Argument #2
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4289482.stm
The claim in this argument is that playing a musical instrument can be good for your heart.
Reasons: Learning an instrument can boost relaxation abilities. Songs were played and then between the tracks relaxation increased as well as during slow songs. But relaxation was very evident in people who had musical training where as people with no music experience weren't as relaxed. Researchers suggested that the subjects listening to slow grooves or pauses such as raga music had meditative results which lowered heart rates but especially those who had music training.
Counter-Argument: If you are listening to heavier music then your heart rate can be lifted which can be harmful to people with bad hearts.

Evaluative Argument #1
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/413099.stm
The claim in this argument is that chocolate may actually be healthy for you to eat. Researchers say that it can prevent cancer and heart disease.
Reasons: The author says "Catechins are believed to protect against heart disease and cancer". Originally they thought that tea had the most catcechins in them but it turns out that dark chocolate has four times as much. The author says that because there are so many catechins, chocolate can help you out in the long run.
Counter Argument: Chocolate is extremely fattening. Though it may help against heart disease and cancer, it still could harm you with obesity which leads to other problems.
Counter Argument from article: You may end up with harm done to your teeth with this sort of diet.

REEEEEEEEMIX!!!!!
In the 1950's a man named Pierre-Paul Grasse defined the indirect communication taking place among insects in insect societies as stigmergy. This topic orginated when Grasse was studying how termites re-build their nests. Grasse showed that the nest building wasn't about the workers themselves but instead about the actual nest. One termites response to the nest triggers anothers and so on. Though this definition wasn't considered ideal because it left out a part about how perfect coordination relies on stimuli must be organized in time and space. But even though the definition was vague it is still accepted. Stigmergy helps not only to know about animal evolution though, it also may help in the future with artificial inteligence and even politics. Science is greatly aided by the though of stigmergy.

Just Felt Like Writing
I really don't exactly know why I'm blogging on a Sunday. For some reason I really just feel the need to write. I am feeling quite peaceful right now, even though as we all know we had a rough weekend. Yesterday I spent 5 hours in a bar with the three remaining people on the floor watching the game. I tell you, my heart was in my throat the entire time. Unfortunate ending though. Well actually now its worse because Derrick Williams or D-Will as he is commonly known around campus has broken his arm. Today we sat around and watched football again. Very nice and relaxing weekend. It's 6:00 PM now and everybody is coming back to school. I have to admit, I kinda liked having the campus to myself and a few others. It was just a nice break from going out and partying with 40,000 other drunks, though that is always enjoyable too. That last sentence sort of made me sound like a heavy drinker. I'm not an alcoholic by any means and I'm pretty much over the whole get drunk until you cant see straight just to stumble around all night and make a fool out of myself. I guess I just got tired of playing the fool every weekend. Here I'm pretty responsible. Of course the first week we all went crazy and became animals but that doesn't happen very often. Usually I have the energy of ten drunken sailors anyway. I used to drink just to get drunk but recently I became a social drinker. I can have a good time with or without drinks but generally when everybody is getting stupid it isnt fun to be the sober kid so I knock back a few. I'm not trying to sound like I don't like drinking, I do. I just don't like embarassing myself like I used to in high school. You know its a good thing I started drinking in high school. Originally I wasn't but then my cousin told me that I should build a tolerance before college so I don't embarass myself every night. Thank God for that advice. In all honestly I condone drinking in high school. It's a good learning experience. Just another part of growing up. Growing up. I really have done all right so far growing up, I think. At least thats what my father believes, and if he thinks I've done all right then thats good enough for me. I wonder when I will be all the way grown up. After college I imagine. While I was typing this I started thinking back in my life. I really have had some great times with great friends. Though the lady situation was horrible back there. But I think my life would make a pretty good story. Maybe someday I can turn it into a show. Kind of like The Wonder Years. Damn, that was a great show. Thats a new goal in my life. To have a show that rivals The Wonder Years. A coming of age sitcom hasnt been around in a while. Well there was Boy Meets world starring another Savage brother but that one had more laughs in it. Not that theres anything wrong with that. Those two shows were my favorites. I liked growing up along with the people in it. I swear I've learned everything I know from my best friends, my father, Mr. Feeny and Kevin Arnold.

Empty
Today I awoke to a strange sight. I went outside for a run and there was nothing. Absolutely nothing going on in sight. Usually campus is packed with people all going out their business but today there was nothing. It gave me a very creepy feeling. Downtown where people are usually outside eating breakfast at the many local eateries there was but two people. Just two. Due to the fact that nobody was around, today was one of the laziest days I've had. I just sat around with the three remaining guys on my floor all day. Luckily these three guys are some of my best friends here so it wasnt so bad. But we still didn't accomplish much. Oh wait, actually we did go to the gym and I did run this morning so I had a successful day on the physical fitness side. But, it is 9:46 PM and I am doing English homework soooo this night isn't going very well. But I guess its okay because I have been feeling sick for the past few days. Perhaps I could use this rest. Well, I'm going to continue to do nothing. Have a nice weekend.

Thing we talked about in class 2
HolyCow
In an article by Jan Sadaqat, there is a causal argument that exclaims that “Heavy rain and hail forced the cancellation of some relief flights to earthquake-stricken regions Tuesday and survivors scuffled over the badly needed food.” The claim is that because of the heavy rain and the hailstorm earthquake survivors are fighting for what food is left. They said this because the people are hungry and that they cant’ get the food to them, people are getting angry. They are stating this because it will hopefully bring sore fully feelings to the American public to help them get the food and supplies to the people. In addition, it will bring to the public eye that fact that people are suffering in other places. There audience is the public of American to show people the scenes of the world. Another cause of why the survivors scuffled over the badly needed food because of the earthquake and not because of the rain and hail. Also, it was not the rains and hail that caused no food to be there.
Claim: Due to heavy rain and the hailstorm earthquake survivors are fighting for what food is left.
reasons: The people are starving and can't get any food so they are resorting to fighting. Also it is happening due to two different disasters.
Counter Arguments: The people are fighting for food because in the midst of a crisis animal insticts take over.

Um that thing we talked about in class 1
Causal Argument PrimeTime
In the article What causes obesity? many factors are brought for that are believed and proven to cause obesity. Some causes mentioned include genes, fatty foods, bad lifestyle, metabolic rate and psychology. They have touched on many factors but I believe that they have left one out. I think they left out the impact of the environment in which they live. If their surroundings send them the signal that being fat is okay, then they will not try as hard to correct their problem. However, someone in a society where being obese is frowned upon will try much harder to obtain a healthy weight.
Claim: environment causes obesity
reasons: Surrounding that say that being obese is okay means more people will be okay with their overweight and see it as natural.
Counter-Arguments: Some causes mentioned include genes, fatty foods, bad lifestyle, metabolic rate and psychology

Causal Number 2!
http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro03/web2/gshin.html
The causal argument here is that Claim: video games cause people aged 8-45 to become more violent. In specific this argument claims that video games that feature violence, gore, or first person shooting, can cause a person to become more violent. Counter-arguments: This argument could be considered false due to many other possible causes of violence. Where one is brought up, how they are brought up (parentwise), movies and television are other possible causes. If somebody is brought up in their home to believe that violence is the only answer then they will be more violent. It is doubtful that a game can cause a person to act upon what they have done in the game. If anything, playing violent video games is a good way to relieve your violent wishes in a virtual world where nobody can get seriously injured. Wow. I just read what I wrote about and I am a complete and total geek.
Reasons: "Calvert and Tan (5) compared the effects of playing versus observing violent video games on young adults' arousal levels, hostile feelings, and aggressive thoughts. Results indicated that college students who had played a violent virtual reality game had a higher heart rate, reported more dizziness and nausea, and exhibited more aggressive thoughts in a posttest than those who had played a nonviolent game do. A study by Irwin and Gross (6) sought to identify effects of playing an "aggressive" versus "nonaggressive" video game on second-grade boys identified as impulsive or reflective. Boys who had played the aggressive game, compared to those who had played the nonaggressive game, displayed more verbal and physical aggression to inanimate objects and playmates during a subsequent free play session. Moreover, these differences were not related to the boys' impulsive or reflective traits. Thirdly, Kirsh (7) also investigated the effects of playing a violent versus a nonviolent video game. After playing these games, third- and fourth-graders were asked questions about a hypothetical story. On three of six questions, the children who had played the violent game responded more negatively about the harmful actions of a story character than did the other children. These results suggest that playing violent video games may make children more likely to attribute hostile intentions to others."
Counter-arguments: Other causes in media; violent people love GTA3.
An example of violence caused by games that has little to do with your argument-- VerDancho.
October 10, 2005
Causal Thing
http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/1998/10.01/GeneDefectFound.html. The causal argument here is that genes cause obesity. The specific cause is that a gene defect is a cause to obesity. Supposedly it only causes this to happen in a minority of the population but it is still given credit in numerous other sources. Other causes that could prove this one wrong is that lifestyle and fatty foods are really the things that cause obesity. Genetics can cause somebody to have bigger bones but it is doubtful that obesity can be derived from genes. If somebody has genes that say hes going to be heavier but he does alot of cardiovascular exercise hes obviously going to end up skinnier.

Boring...
Okay let me start out by saying this is gay. Not just a little gay this is like mega, super, ultra gay. I would really like to blog about how surreal the Ohio State game experience was but instead I have to talk about death and sorrow and one of the worst most disgusting acts ever enacted by man. Yeah, this is on the level of Hitler and the holocaust. Aren't you all excited to read about this. Oh boy am I excited. Gay... Okay here we go, I'll start out by telling you what website I used. I used http://www.chgs.umn.edu/Visual___Artistic_Resources/Cambodian_Genocide/cambodian_genocide.html
Dont click on it, it will just make you even more upset than you already are about writing dumbass blogs that arent out of whats on your mind, therefore not making it a true blog. Well, apparantly this asshole named Pol Pot killed a crapload of cambodians. In all seriousness if you haven't heard about this you are a dumbass. Well the amount of deathes from this revolution due to Pol Pots four year rule total about one million. Not to mention 200,000 others were murdered because they were considered enemies of the state. Wow I'm glad I brought all of you down. This really sucked. We should be able to write what we feel. Instead we had to talk about the killing fields. Oh yeah, that was cool...God Damnit.
GO PSU FOOTBALL!!! TOP TEN!!!!! WE ARE RANKED THE BEST IN THE TOP TEN!!! There now that is an interesting and uplifting blog.

Epiphony
Today I made a decision. I have decided to return to my ways of carefree living. I will no longer give a damn what I am thought of like I had been doing when I arrived. I am going to return to my comedic ways. Basically I'm gonna go freaking nuts. Take Robin Williams and Dane Cook and smash them together and you will get something close to what I'm going to become once again. For most of my life that was me and I enjoyed it very much and others seemed to too. But then I started hanging out with the "cool" crowd who frowned upon my incredible amounts of energy. Seriously some people like thought I had lost my mind, but it was all in good fun. I just felt you should all know that a different person will walk into the room on Friday. Well technically it started earlier today so be ready. Honestly if you don't like it I really don't care. I'm not going to try to impress people by acting like them instead I'm going to be me again. If you still like me then we can be great pals but if you don't, don't expect me to try and gain your approval. And with that GOOD BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My freakin paper
I am so sorry about the paper I just wrote. I said I wasn't going to update today but I needed to get it out in the open how terrible my paper is. God, I am really ashamed about it. It is sooooo corny. I used the words magic and imagination. I really am not looking forward to people reading my paper. I seriously feel like throwing up it is so bad. I really need to do some serious revisions before friday. I USED THE WORD MAGIC! Who am I Walt Disney! GAH!!!! Well at least its over. In all seriousness I hated that paper. I wish I could just write about what I felt like in the way I felt like writing it. Now I have to go play some mindless video games with my roommate. HOORAY!!! See yall in class tomorrow. Sorry about the word yall.
October 3, 2005
HELP!!!
I cannot find a freakin analogy that I could spread into three pages. I am really struggling here, and I am going to have to work my ass off tomorrow to pull this assignment off. I don't know I just have soooo much trouble writing when I have to do it in a way that I'm not accustomed to. (That word looks very weird I probably spelled it wrong) I guess I'm just going to have to write about something that doesn't interest me at all like politics or something stupid like that. I'm sorry I hate politics. It just reminds me too much of high school. High School! I don't know why I flipped out right there. Sorry to blow off the handle. I was going to write a story for you all but I'll save that for another time. I really thought high school was a waste of time. I made some really great friends but other than that it was terrible. Especially when all the girls are sluts and out of the three girls with a decent personality in our school one of them has herpes. I want you to notice I used the word personality. See where I come from the girls are like a different species so looks don't really matter to me. An unfortunate side effect though is that all of the girls here scare the crap out of me because they are so freakin gorgeous. Seriously like all of them. Beautiful girls are the majority here. It's like Heaven. Yeah, my school sucked for girls. Like seriously it was awful. I really dont want to think about it any more. Its making me sad knowing that some day I have to go back to that town. Well I'm going to sleep, I have to work on my analogy tomorrow so don't expect an update.

Assignments
Sorry anybody who enjoys my writing I won't be posting a random blurb I actually have an assignment today so um..you can read if you want to I guess but it might not be very good. I guess I'll start with the enthymyme thing.
Enthymyme- "Dude, she won't go out with a guy who has red hair and earrings".
This was said by a friend of mine to me the other day. Though he was kind of joking I figured I'd use it here. The assumption here is that somebody who has had some fun with their appearance can't possibly go out with a girl who is somewhat preppy. This isn't true at all. I know that in the back of almost every girls mind is that they want something different or something fun. That and some girls actually care about personalities. I mean we have all seen the hott girl and the ugly dude. Man that pisses me off. Anyway that enthymyme is false because there are plenty of girls in this world that date somebody different then them. Just look around and you'll see it, especially here. Besides...Red hair and earrings is hott.
Analogy- Damn...I wanted the Forrest Gump one. Oh well heres another one I suppose.
Movies are like portals to new worlds.
Basically by this I mean that a portal is something that can transport you to a different place in time and space. In my opinion, movies can be used in the same sense. My audience are the people who don't believe in or don't understand the art of films. My analogy will probably affect non believers greatly by showing them by use of numerous examples how films capture the imagination. A counter argument to my analogy is that movies are simply pictures strewn together and are simply shown to make money. To point this out I will argue how Hollywood isn't only an economic institution but also as a place that hass captured imagination for years.

Weekend
The weekend has officially begun. It is Friday at 2:25 and my weekend begins now. My roommate who I will refer to as Captain Cripple or CC still has another class to go to. Ha! my weekend begins first. He's so jealous, when he walks out the door to class I'm going to laugh at him. I hope he hears me and tries to come up with a witty remark. I doubt he will. Anyway I have noticed the changes on the ol wiki and I must say I dig it. I guess capt. cripple is having one of his BIG friends come up for the weekend. I'm about to see a picture of him now. Oh crap, he is a pretty big kid. From what I hear when he gets alcohol in him I should stay on his good side or he will try to crush me. Well I may not know karate but i know karazy. Oh man, I love that joke. Speaking of jokes, today I made a reference to parallel parking when re arranging my desk and people actually laughed. I was pretty pleased with myself, its not everyday that I can make more than one person laugh. I mean sure alot of people laugh at me, but laughing WITH me, thats different entirely. Well I am starting to ramble so I think I am going to wrap this one up. Sorry that this is so short but the weekend has officially started and I don't want to do anymore work. So I bid you all a fond farewell and I hope to see you over the weekend. Good Day.
September 29, 2005
Another good day
Today I spent much of the day relaxing, playing videogames and watching movies. Movie today, Forrest Gump. That is a phenomonal movie. I have been quoting him all day. I have to tell you though *SPOILER* when Jenny is dead and he is standing over the grave of his lost love, that really hits me hard. Not saying I'm a pussy or anything just that, that scene is a tough one to get through. Wow sorry about the use of the word pussy, I just thought of that first and I believe I should write what comes to mind first in these things. Anyway, its well after midnight tonight. I have no idea why I put this off until now but now as good as anytime to write I suppose. Oh man yesterday I slept through my first two classes. I felt like an idiot and started freaking out. Then I realized there was no point in getting worked up so I just went to the last class which I had a test in and did my thing. But today was much better. My classes weren't very hard. But my Spanish teacher did catch me drawing during her lesson. She scared the crap out of me. Damn little crazy woman sneaking up on me whispering my name in my ear. It was very freaky. Well I'm tired and I don't want to sleep through class again so I'm DONE!
September 28, 2005
A good day
Hey everybody. Right now I am watching one of the greatest movies in the history of the world. Heavyweights. It's a movie the whole family an enjoy about fat camp. Kenan Thomps on and the kid who played Goldberg in The Mighty Ducks gave some of the greatest performances of their lives. Yeah thats right even better than Good Burger. Now lets not also forget who played the villain in this film. Ben Stiller. That's right Ben Stiller. Now some of you are probably skeptical about a movie about large children, saying that it is exploiting fat children and probably causing serious mental damage. Well thats not true. This movie is all about how overweight children have nothing to worry about and shouldnt feel bad about their weight issue. Hell, there is a scene where the fat guys all dance with the pretty girls from the other camp. It is a great little tale that I highly recommend. Anyway on to business. Today I was running around the old campus and I ran into 8 different people that I knew. The weird thing is that they were all in a row. It was a barrage of people I knew. It was crazy. Not that I didn't enjoy it, it was just a little odd. Like I had to say hi to 8 people in a row. It made me feel great inside. A perfect song to describe my feeling after that was "Jitterbug" by WHAM. That sounds a bit weird but it was in my head. Probably due to the fact that there was an episode of Family Guy on featuring that tune. That was a great episode. If you don't watch Family Guy, start. Sundays at 9 PM watch FOX. Also, watch American Dad afterwords to. There is no better moment in my life then Sundays from 9 to 10. Well Heavyweights is on so I have to go. Good Day.
I used to think that movie was innocent until I watched it again this summer and discovered one of the children using the insult, "You're just a loser with a skinny wiener!" Who says that? - TheBleepinBlog

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
If you noticed the above statement, that is how I feel right now. I feel like I am going to be up all night. I have to study for a sociology test tonight which actually involves me doing quite a few questions about a book that we had to read. Thank God I actually did all of the readings for my classes so far during the year. I noticed that we also had to do a how to for tomorrow. Well it says due by tomorrow, sooooo that means I won't be doing that until tomorrow. However I figured I should bang one of these guys out before I start to study. I think thats the last thing I have to do today. Man, all I wanted to do today was play guitar. I'm so upset. Well at least after classes tomorrow I should be back to the normal zone. Tomorrow is kind of screwed up because I am supposed to film for my fys (first year seminar) but nobody in my group is really speaking. Its hard to talk because we have only been in a group for two weeks. I guess tomorrow I'll just see what happens. Not to mention I have a paper I have to write for that. Tomorrow, though. After writing about I have to do alot tomorrow I'm not so angry about tonights work. Hell, all I have to do is study. Well I'm gonna cut this one short and get to work.

Umbrellas
Today it rained. It rained throughout the entire day. Pretty much today sucked. I guess it was good because I got a chance to study for my tests coming up in the next two days. Anyway, the topic of todays blog is umbrellas. AND HOW GOD DAMN INCONSIDERATE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEM ARE! I swear to God I was ducking out of the way of them non stop today. I almost lost my eyes at least thirty times today! I was dodging and ducking people who would just take up the entire sidewalk and not move their umbrellas out of my way when I tried to walk by. When I was under the construction tunnel on curtin I almost was taken out by a bright pink umbrella with jagged blades coming out the ends. I had to pull a "Matrix" under this girls umbrella to avoid her. Im guessing you all know what a "Matrix" is. For those of you who aren't huge geeks like me its when Neo was dodging an agents bullets amazingly fast but it is slowed down for cool effect and the camera is swirled around. The way they actually did that was with 100 different camera angles and then the editor pieced it all together to look like one continuous shot. That shot really is quite amazing. I actually did a short animation film where I recreated that shot. Sorry if you are getting bored. I'm a film major, I get really wrapped up in movies. I don't watch films like normal people. I don't just watch the film as a story, I look at angles and different ways tat shots are presented. But thats not to say I don't watch a movie for the story. After all the purpose of a film is to entertain. That comes first and foremost. So if you ever want to do something with me ( though I doubt ou would) movies are my thing. Well pretty much anything that involves entertainment. I know thats a very broad field to pick from but I can find fun in mostly anything. Okay well I'm finished for today. Have a nice day.

Unmasked
Today I had a pleasant experience I suppose. Well until I got to the elevator anyway. So we have english class right. I didn't really enjoy it very much today. People just completely changed me words around until they liked it. It was pretty funny. One kid handed me my paper back and it was spotless and had like 3 spelling mistakes he found, but the other girl handed me my paper and it had been completely torn a new one. It was pretty rough. I mean I was nice to her about her paper but NOOOOO mine was just unacceptable. Some people in our class just critique the crap out of everything. Oh well, some people say that criticism is necessary. I just wish people were nicer about it. Okay after English I go to eat lunch with my roommate and his friend from back home. My roommate is on crutches so I made him sit at the table that he has to go upstairs to get to. Ha! take that roommate. Thats for not telling me we were out of cinnamon toast crunch! Oh man I was heated about that this morning. Anyway we leave and get outside and I realize that I left my bag inside. As I go back in I run into two girls from our class. We'd never formally met before so we did the whole name game thing and I recognized a name from blogs. I believe these things should be a bit secretive so I wont reveal who it is. But then I am asked who I was. At first I said I'd rather not say but then I was physically forced by threat of my life to tell them. I swear to God I was terrified I didn't think I would make it out of that one alive. I kid you not the blonde one had a switchblade up to my throat. I can't tell you her name, she'd probably kill me. Anyway, I gave in. "I am viciousmarshmallow" I said. They said "Oh, yours is good". Then we parted ways. It was a nice little meeting if I do say so myself. Really I just told you about it because I needed something to say. So then I go into my dorm and I get in the elevator and there was some yellow liquid on the floor. Gross.

A Different Sort of Day
Today I noticed something. People talk way too loud on their cell phones. I was walking back from a class and I hear some girl talking so loudly into her cell phone that I could feel her breath on the back of my neck. She was 20 feet away from me! But it was that weird voice that I wouldn't call a yell but..Okay it sounded like when people talk into a drive thru machine. Acting like the person on the otherside is deaf. Hell, people have done that to me at work constantly. I'M NOT DEAF! Stop talking so loudly your ruining everybodys good time. It wasn't even that interesting a conversation. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! OH THATS COOL! DO YOU WANT TO GET SOME LUNCH! OKAY WHERE DO YOU WANT TO MEET! ILL BE THERE IN A FEW MINUTES. I SAID ILL BE THERE IN A FEW MINUTES!" Holy crap. I actually checked my ears and my ears were bleeding. I don't think your supposed to bleed out of the ears! Well after that escapade I made it home. I didn't do much after that. I played guitar for an hour or so and then it was about time to go out. Thirsty Thursday. Well let me tell you I was plenty thirsty. But my thirst wasn't quenched. OH IT WAS FAR FROM QUENCHED. We went to a friend of friends dorm and did a little bit of pre gaming. I'm not usually a fan of pregaming but I had finished all of my work and I was excited. Well we hit up the bus stop where we met two girls. We all got to talking and we decided we'd cruise with them. Nothing serious just cruising. Well we decide to meet up with some more of their friends. In my mind all I was thinking was 3 guys...7 girls...those are good odds for us getting in. No offense ladies but around these parts you are not only women, but also as currency. No offense what so ever. With at least 2 girls to every guy you can get in pretty much anywhere. Anyway as we go from place to place we keep running into a problem. NO ALCOHOL. So my thirst wasnt quenched at all. However on a lighter side a funny thing happened that night. We go into one frat and we notice everybody in a circle in one room. Like 100 people. I have no idea whats going on. So I turn to this girl, who is very pretty and I say "Hey" She says "Hi" "How are you doing?" "Oh I'm fine thank you" "Are you having a nice night" "Well I am so far but I think its going to get a little wild in a minute" "Oh, why is that?" "Well I am about to go into that circle and strip" "Oh, you have a nice time" "You do the same now" "Good luck" "Thanks" Well it turns out I was talking to a stripper the whole time. She was a very nice person though, very friendly.

A Freakin Rant
Holy Crap! In class today I was getting so pissed off. We were critiquing papers, and people were trying to say things people could improve upon. Okay, just because you disagree with a paper doesnt mean that its a bad paper. The papers we saw were great papers. Just because you think the author should have talked about women more doesnt mean that the paper needs work. A paper written about Linux isn't supposed to make sense to half of you people. All of the papers we saw today were good. You don't need to tear somebody a new asshole just because you dont agree with or don't understand what they are talking about. Okay, sorry. I just needed to make that clear. Heres what also was weird today. Do you ever notice that when you walk outside of the Sackett Building it looks like a freakin warzone. Seriously there are bodies scattered all over the place. People just passed out in the grass. Half of them look like they are dead. I actually stopped dead today when I passed one of the people. It was an old man. He was just laying there in the grass. I almost went up to him to see if he was still alive. Seriously I was actually kind of scared. I just shook my head and kept walking. Oh man, a funny thing happened at the Fresh Express yesterday. So I'm standing in line (its mexican wrap/caesar wrap day) and the lady looks at all of us in line and goes "Okay Caesars are here and mexican wraps are over there. All mexicans go over there!" I just had to say something. "Well thats awful racist!" I thought that was hilarious. I'm sorry but I laughed at my own joke there. I don't care if you dont think its funny. It was hilarious.
Mexicans aren't a race... i think it would have been more like discrimination instead of racism. - TheBleepinBlog
What are Mexicans then? If anyone comes back and writes smelly I'll E-slap you.-Fish

A Story
I'm going to tell you all a little story today. It involves my crew and a particularly jiggy situation. If you haven't figured it out by now, my group of friends from high school loved to drink and they did it often. It seemed like every weekend we were in another weird situation. Well it started like any other night. A few of us in TJs house forcing Rodgers to have another fire as we did every weekend. I'm sorry but when you have 70 acres of land you have to have fires so the rest of us can drink. Especially when the location is so secluded, not only from strangers, but we had 100 people back there with his parents thinking he only had 20 of us. Anyway, Rodgers was being a little bitch as usual. Eventually he gives in just like he does every weekend. So we all get there and the usual crew is there. My boys and 3 dirty dirty whores who just keep coming for the constant mental abuse from TJ. I realize right there and then we have 15 guys and no girls. This is a huge problem. SAUSAGE FEST!!! People were calling all over the place looking for women to come but for some reason nobody is home. It turns out that there is a junior bash going on at somebodys house. His name is Jeremy. None of like Jeremy. Anyway he had alot of girls at his house. Parents gone for the weekend. So we decide we are going to do something about this. We all pack into our cars and drive off to jeremys. I happen to be well liked over there so I went inside. There were 5 cars waiting outside. I go up to each individual girl that wasnt a dirty dirty whore, so out of 50 girls there were 14. Yeah I know its bad. Thats my high school though. So I go up to them and I tell them that we are having another party, a better party. I say in 10 minutes go outside. I go back out of the house. Sure enough 10 minutes later 17 girls come walking out. We pack them in our cars and drive back to Rodgers. We had a great night after that. But boy did we get some nasty phone calls later that night.

Oh crap
Has anybody done the definitional argument!! It freakin sucks. I just did it and I dont feel all that great about it. I picked probably the dumbest topic ever. The college student, I figured I could span it into three pages which is about the only reason I did it. It physically hurt me to write that one. I am bleeding out of my eyes it was so bad. Well, at least its over. Oh Wait! Thats right we have to revise it and turn it in again on friday. Super. Anyway besides that I didn't really have any homework so I decided to write one of these numbers. I have been reading a bit about these clusters and I'm probably not going to put much effort into organizing one but if you want me to fill some space or something I'll join, I dont care who you are. I ate two dinners today, I am proud to say. First I had a wrap from the freshwrap express which was excellent, and then I had a chicken parm grinder around 8. It was really great. I just felt you all should know. I am really just scrambling for space here. I like to have full entires. It's just something I do. So I had my lock changed because I lost my key the first Thursday I was here in a kind of weird accident. I don't usually drink very heavily but for some reason I felt a Thursday would be a good night to get absolutely blasted. I usually stay very under control so don't think I'm a raving drunk. I just like to play beer pong is all. Anyway, I got crazy and I got what I call timewarp drunk. Timewarp drunk is when you dont remember getting from one place to another you just kind of get teleported there. Anyway I was feeling that and I remember the following. A room in a frat with a bar, some crazy girl yelling at some guy, beer pong, and then waking up in my room under my desk in a bunch of glass shards. Weird huh? Yeah well I woke up, without my keys. I went back to the frat to try and find them. I had no luck, when I looked in the house a huge guy yelled out to me. "Hey! You're that kid!" I felt a cold sweat on my neck. What had I done last night? He said "Are you okay?" I replied with "Yeah I'm fine why?" "Do you have any idea what you did?" "Um no I don't". " YOU JUMPED OFF OF OUR BALCONY!" It turns out that I had ran through three rooms full of people, out a glass door and dove off an 8 foot balcony superman style. I don't remember it at all but it sounds like me. The weird thing is that I finally found my keys. Three weeks later I find them in a box under my bed. Why would I put them there? Weird....

A happy little update
Ladies Ladies Ladies, ViciousMarshmallow is in the Hizzie!!!! Hey everybody hows it going? After a night of sleep and one class out of the way I am feeling really good today. I successfully have finished my reading for english before 1:30PM and I have to tell you it feels really great. I might try to bang out a lot of work today so I can enjoy the weekend more, but I don't know just yet. I hope that you all have noticed that I have switched the way my blogs are set up. Now the newer Blogs are on top so that way all you have to do is click on my page, and WHAM! theres a new blog. I'm very excited today, everything seems to be going well but it is only 1:40 so theres plenty of day left for things to go wrong. Well this is my fifth and final blog for the week so I probably wont be updating until Monday. I suggest doing two blogs on one day if you have the time because it just feels so great finishing up blogs on a Thursday. Okay, now then you know how we all get Napster? Well I have been abusing that priveledge like no other. Okay, I think I am close to having a thousand songs on it right now. Yeah I know, its gross. But its free so I would take advantage right away. Wow I am really starting to sound like an advertisement. Well, my roommate has a broken leg now for real. 6 weeks in a cast and then 2 more in a boot. The cast is already starting to smell. When he takes his cast off in 6 weeks that thing is going to smell like SATAN! Has anybody else noticed how hot it is recently? I havent been able to sleep under the covers in like forever! I can't even imagine what it would be like during a summer session. Wow I'm really starting to ADD all over the place. I need to think of a topic I can talk about for a minute. I think in class tomorrow I'm going to try a different persona. For the most part I have kept to myself speaking only to poke fun at something or somebody who has said something I believe to be absolutely wrong. Thats right, some people in our classes have straight up wrong opinions. That may sound upsetting but really I'm just trying to fill up space. I actually do have a big heart and I hate to see others made fun of for real. I mean if its in the name of comedy thats something entirely different. Well I think I have rambled on enough to call this a day. I'll update on Monday probably so you all have a nice weekend and I'll see you in class or if your lucky over the weekend.

Can't Sleep Just Yet
Its actually the fifteenth. For some reason I was compelled to write a quick blog before going to sleep. I finished all of my work today around 9:00 PM. For the next two hours I sat on my computer playing games, watching TV, and watching every SNL celebrity Jeopard skit ever. I found a site that has a link to all of them ready to download.http://www.smithappens.com/video_celebrityjeopardy.php Thats the link there if your interested. It made me laugh out loud a few times. I'm trying to figure out why I didn't use the "lol" there, I must just be tired. Anyway at about 11:00 PM I decided to open up the book we were told to buy Understanding Comics and at first I was excited, I mean what could be better than a comic book instead of a text book. I have to tell you it does go by quickly but chapter one is pretty tough to get through. Well I'm sure I wouldnt have lost interest if I had the television off. Anyway its really not that bad so I can read it. Even though we have to read 90 pages of it by friday. I'm hisreally not sure where I'm going with this blog I just felt I should write one. I'm sorry its not as good as my others, but I'm not even finished with it. It might get better. Even though it is rather late and my mind is slowly slipping away from what I am writing. I'll just give you a quick recap of the day before ending it. I woke up at 9:30 for a 10:10 class today and let me tell you waking up that early is awful. Then I proceeded to English class. I saw a pretty girl in the hall but acted like I didn't see her and walked with my head down. I'm not quite sure why I did that. My dad says that you should never hang your head, you should always look a person in the eyes to show confidence. I guess I need to work on that. During English we had yet another discussion about knowledge. What is knowledge? Honestly I dont really care. During that whole discussion all I was thinking was of the old school house rock cartoons where the red haired kid says "Knowledge is Power". I really wanted to say that but I was afraid nobody would laugh. Okay if I keep this blog going any longer I will start to bash myself even further. I'm tired and going to sleep. I promise tomorrows (er todays) entry will be much better.
Turns out that a recent French philosopher, Michel Foucault, defined the latter part of his career exploring the relationship between knowledge and power! So, even if someone had laughed there's still alot to be said for the School House Rock approach. TheKemBlog

I Cant Wait
Hey there everybody. I was sitting at my desk reading some of your blogs looking for somebodys screen name to have a dialogue with. I couldnt find many people online, let alone screen names at all. So I decided to pass the time I'm going to write you all a second entry. Thats right you're going to get to tonight. This probably won't happen again so be grateful. Is it greatful or grateful? Somebody should help me out on that one. Anyway I noticed something as I was cruising the blogs. People are actually reading these!!! Other bloggers are even leaving comments on other blogs. I personally think its great because I actually got a compliment. Here is an excerpt of TheGoodfella.
I didn't really think I would be able to top any of those with my own. I could barely even think of a good name for my blogs, so I thought long and hard, and then I just realized nothing would be better than the title of ViciousMarshmallow, so I just mustered something up.
Wow that actually brought a tear to the eye. I even left him a comment to let him know I was reading. I think this whole leaving comment thing is great. Even if they are mean it't nice to know somebody is reading.
I also noticed that mine are possibly the longest blogs. Ive seen some 4 line blogs out there. Not that theres anything wrong with that I just didnt know I didnt have to write this much. But to tell you the truth I am actually starting to enjoy this. Weird isnt it? I guess when I can write on my own terms I have a pretty good time. I don't even use big words often so everybody can read it. Hooray! I know in my last blog I promised a rant so I guess I'll have to deliver. Some people have viewpoints that are just plain wrong. For example in our class discussion the other day we were talking about learning. I remember hearing some weird things. Like the fact that you need to use something in order to really learn it. I remember that really incredibly good looking guy say that "I've learned plenty of stuff that I'll never use". I thought about that and I realized that incredibly attractive guy is right. Anyway I'm not here to bash other people (well not this blog anyway) but I think in class we think into things way to much. See I prefer not to ask why when it comes to things. It's just too much effort to find out why something is the way it is. I dont care how something works or why it works just that it works. I guess thats why I hate science. Anyway I just think we go out of control with our thoughts about things Kem asks us. Like that learning thing. Jesus how long did we talk about that. Well we have class tomorrow so if it happens again I'll be sure to write about it in detail. Later

WHATS GOING ON HERE!!!
Today the entire world fell apart. Well actually it started last night when the eagles lost. Damn you David Akers! Damn you to Hell!!! 4 AM this morning a truck starts backing up in the parking lot outside my room. When a truck backs up for those of you who don't know it lets out this loud blaring sound. My roommate and I were waken up and we both proceeded to yell expletives. I got back to sleep eventually but it was so darn inconvienient. I was in class all day so that was another problem. I didn't even get a chance to go to the gym today because I was working and because I have a Spanish class at 4:40 on top of my other classes on tuesday and thursday. I went to lunch today and the ice machine was out of ice so I had to walk all the way to the other ice machine to get ice for my Dr. Pepper. There was absolutely no ketchup anywhere in the HUB. All I wanted was some ketchup for my hot tasty french fries and I was denied it. On a lighter note I didnt have too much homework to do and my replacement pre amp for my speakers came today and I am currently blaring my system. But I didnt have time to run all day so I did it at 8:00 PM. 8:00!!!! People were staring at me as I ran saying things like "Who runs at 8 PM". Luckily I couldnt hear them because I was listening to my ipod but their eyes said it all. Especially the pretty girls. To begin with, all beautiful girls have the ability to gaze deep into your soul and find out what your true intentions are and how you are no where near their stature. But this was worse, I was getting a cold stare that literally made me shiver. I was seriously shivering as I was running. Then I finally get home around 8:30 and as I'm walking to the shower the elevator opens and my roommate hobbles out on crutches. "What the hell" I said to which he replied "I don't want to talk about it". Later he told me he got hurt during a softball game. Poor guy, it might be broken or sprained, hes getting x-rays tomorrow in the morning. That pretty much brings me to right now. I'm finished for today tomorrow I am going to rant about something that has really been making me angry in English class. That will be a good one. By the way I am Dude17164 if anybody wants to do that discussion thing for class, or if you just want to talk, I'm very lonely I could use the company.

Don't read this one, Its terrible
I was going to write about something stupid and really unimportant but Kem has decided to change what I was going to write about. I'm actually rather pissed that my journal isnt going to be of my thoughts but I'll get over it. Okay lets write about debate vs dialogue. Doesn't that sound fun!!! Seriously though if your an avid reader you won't want to read this one its going to be very boring. I believe that debate is dialogue. Dialogue encompasses all forms of communication. A dialogue involves a sender, a message and a reciever. All that a dialogue is, is some sort of information being sent from one person to another and a response from the other person. A dialogue can consist of 2 sentences if you want it to. Debate is a form of dialogue. A debate is two or more people taking different view points and discussing each side of their story. Debates dont even have to be the kind your all thinking. There dont need to be two teams of people sitting behind desks speaking about things that nobody really cares about, mostly politics. Wow, I really hate politics. Debates are as simple as everyday arguments. I'm sorry that I wasted all of your time with that boring blog. I hope you keep reading anyway.

Football Game 2
It was a beautiful day for a game today. A little early for me I guess. I literally woke up and went out to the stadium with my friends who had been pregaming all morning. Not to the point of beligerence but enough to bring out the wild side of a few rather timid guys. I personally don't pregame because I have energy to spare at football games and I am pretty outgoing to begin with. Unless you are an extremely hott girl in which case you just scare the shit out of me. Anyway, the game was fantastic we absolutely crused Cincinatti. I felt kind of weird sitting in all of the blue and whit with my red hair. Red happens to be Cincinatti's color so it was a little strange but nobody seemed to mind. Besides it was a great way for people to find out where I was. People all around me were using me as a land mark. "Okay, look for the kid with red hair, no, like deep red not like a red head, we are right in front of him". I swear I helped like five people without doing anything but just standing there. Anyway the game was great but I noticed something very strange today. There were two lions. The regular lion, and then the lion mascot suit from years ago. It was pretty weird when the real lion noticed him. Then when the lion did his typical crowd surf, people boosted up the other lion and he surfed as well. The trouble was that he was dropped halfway up. It was actually kind of funny, don't worry he wasn't hurt. Well I just wanted to get this entry in so I could get five for the week. I honestly didnt think I would be able to do it. I'm gonna jam for a while now and then I'll prolly go out. I'll write you up a recap of what happens tonight.

Changes
I did something today that I have wanted to do for a while now. I was getting a haircut today and I get the normal cut and then the lady asks me if theres anything else I want to do to it. I sat in the little spinny chair spinning in circles for a minute and then I think back to something that happened the day before. I was going to get lunch at the commons and I was wearing a Coca-Cola shirt. I walk up to the women behind the buffet table and order my food and they both start looking at my shirt. One says "Wow, I really like your shirt, it's making me very thirsty just looking at it". I was a bit freaked out by the 50 year old woman basically hitting on my but I was nice about it and just said "Oh, thank you". Then the other lady says "You know, red is really your color". Again freaked out I said thank you and went on my way. So flash back to me in the spinny chair. I look at the woman and say " How about dying my hair". She got all excited and ran and got a color book. "What color are you interested in?" she said. I responded with "How about a dark red.". We picked out a deep red color and she went back to mix the color. She came back and said "I am so excited, I can tell you are going to be a fun customer." So we got to talking and she was telling me all of her drinking stories will slathering paste onto my head. After about 30 minutes I was done. I looked in the mirror and my hair had been changed. I officially have red hair. As I said goodbye and paid my fee she says "You're hair is really bad ass." Its alright I guess, I just can't wait to scare my parents with it.

The Guys Part 2
Hey everybody, Im back to finish off my picture story. Im actually going to jumble the order a bit now for reasons I will disclose to you later. Murph is next on the list. Murph and I have been tight since about 8th grade until something happened in 10th grade. You see he broke up with his girlfriend and she took a liking to me for some weird reason. I donno I think she was into the whole act crazy and out of your mind type of thing. Anyway she threw herself at me one night and I accepted due to the fact that I was hammered and that the two werent going out so I had really done nothing wrong. Well it turns out that they were in the process of getting back together and I threw a wrench into their plans so to speak. After the silent treatment for about a month I said I was sorry, though I really shouldnt have had to I did nothing wrong I mean they werent going out remember. After a shaky three monthes they got back together and we became friends again. Next up is some kid named Kyle. I hate Kyle. Why is he in this picture? Anyway next it Roj. That is a nickname. Roj is the guy who had the parties. We forced him to have so many parties due to the fact that he had quite a few acres of land so we actually cut some grass and made a fire pit area in his backyard. The best part about it was that it was so far back from the main street that we could all yell and scream and not be heard by anybody, even by his parents. It was great. I've had some of the best nights of my life at Rojs fires. This next group is very very important to me. My first, and probably best friends. Matt, Micah, Adam and Pat. These guys have been there since the begining. Even though we did all go separate ways in high school, we still all had the bond from when we were younger. I mean like 5 years old. The weird thing is how different we all are. Matt is the athletic superstar, Pat was the punk, Adam was the guy who just barely made it by, Micah was the guy who always had to have the best stuff, cars and computers etc, and then there was me. My dad says that I am the glue that sticks us all together. I guess I inherited a trait from all of them and I am thankful everyday for growing up with them. 4 of us are in our graduation gowns but Pat is not. When Pat went punk in highschool he changed a bit. Going down that path led him to drugs at 17. Halfway through senior year Pat dropped out of school. I n my mind it was because of the drugs. But Pat was a different calibur of person than most. Within a week of dropping out Pat went to get his GED. He got it too. But he was such a close friend to us that he showed up to graduation to cheer us on. He really surprised alot of people that day. I dont think I will ever forget what those 4 did for me. A part of them rubbed off onto me and I am greatful everyday for it. Someday I will tell you about some of the things the five of us used to do. But that is a story for another day.

The Guys
I am sitting here at my desk typing away at yet another blog entry. I really had nothing to write about so I glanced about my desk looking for something to write about. Computer speakers,fan, garbage collected, lamp, and a picture. This picture is of graduation day. The day where in my eyes I as well as many became adults. Depicted in this picture are some of my best friends. Starting on the left is my good friend TJ. From about 7th grade through today, TJ and I have been extremely close friends. He is probably the smartest person I know and also the biggest alcoholic I know. Pretty weird combination huh. His rediculous inteligence and sense of humor are probably the reason we have stuck together so long. Really I'm one of the only people who can understand half of his jokes because they usually partain to obscure references from books and movies and TV. Without me I doubt anybody would be able to dumb down his humor. In another entry I might let you in on some of the hilarious predictaments we have gotten ourselves into. Next on the list is Brandon. Brandon and I have been friends since about 7th grade also. We didnt get close until about 10th grade but have always been good friends. He is going to go into the alcoholic group also. He is a very nice kid but when he drinks is when the real Brandon comes out. He can be a handful, but usually not so much that somebody has to calm him down. Usually. These next few guys I was friends with but wasnt as close as the first two. Duff, John and Paley. I have partied with all of them, and have continued to throughout the years. All good kids, but Duff can be a bit shady. Partly because his girlfriend has tried to hook up with all of us. Some of us have pushed her away. Myself and a few others. Some have accepted advances. TJ with his whole "whatever you can get" schpiel. You can only blame him so much, I mean she is pretty hott and I know its wrong but he doesnt get that much because when hes drunk he is basically a womanizer. Also he has fallen into the "just friends" category, which our hero also belongs to and trust me, its Hell. Anyway those guys are pretty much always together, well and their friend Miles but he isnt in the picture. Next up is another one of my very close friends Andy. Andy, TJ, and I make up a certain group of friends that is probably the closest. Well there is another group of mine but Ill get into that later. Anyway the three of us are like brothers. I hung out with those three pretty much my entire high school life. Andy is a big guy. Hes not jacked, he just happens to be 6'10". His only problem throughout the years has been his damn girlfriend. Now a guy should have a girl but not one that comes between the fellas. I cant tell you how many times hes put her before us. However when it was something really important he always showed up. Its hard for me to put into words how close we are. I don't know it just is. When there was one of us the other one would make an appearance. You know what this is going on very long. Im going to separate it into two parts. Part 2 will be tomorrow. See you then.

A Random Update
Hello there kiddies, how have you all been? I really have absolutely nothing to write about today so I'm just gonna recap a bit since I havent updated in literally 3 days. Well I shouldnt say that, I mean I did do that self narrative and guess what? I almost knew how to do everything. I hit the skids on the sample with attribution part but I'm sure somebody can teach me how to do that later. Now then onto business. Today I have decided to tell you a story from my younger and more vulnerable years. Thats right, I stole that last part from the opening line of The Great Gatsby more or less. If you knew that congratulations. You get a prize. I donno Ill give you a stick of gum or something. Im in college I dont have much to offer for crying out loud, get off my back. Im sorry. Anyway onto the story. You know what, forget the story. Instead Im going to tell you who my favorite muppet is and why. My favorite muppets are the two old guys that sit in the balcony and just heckle people. There is nothing cooler than when they do that laugh like DOHOHOHOHOH!!! Oh man, it gets me everytime. I actually know there names too. Their names are Statly and Waldorf. Wow I'm impressed I know a lot of useless information. If theres anything you need to know about anything not related to intelligence please feel free to ask or post a question, Ill answer it. I dont mean to toot my own horn but I really do know alot of useless crap. Okay enough of me sounding more like a dork. Seriously you guys Im not a big geek like you think I am. I just had a thought on the field of romance. Now I used to believe that whenever you locked eyes with somebody of the opposite sex, or of the same sex, I'm not here to judge people, that it means you guys are interested. Well, let me tell you I found out the hard way that its not always the case. I was walking today and I catch eyes with an attractive lady and I say "hey". She actually turned to her friend and laughed. That sucked. I was blown away by the fact that somebody could be so rude. I couldn't understand it, I just wanted to say "Hi" not confess my undying love for her. Harsh world man, harsh world. Okay enough wallowing in my loneliness for one night. Good Bye folks. Sorry that this blog made absolutely no sense. Just completely disregard what I said.

Football
Football and Penn State go hand in hand. Since Beaver Stadium was constructed football has been one of the most important, if not most important part of Penn State. Personally, I chose to come to Penn State based mostly on the fact of its legendary football team, and coach. I was actually up in the air about where I wanted to go to school until I attended a football game. I have to tell you after being around 100,000 screaming fans I was hooked. Earlier today I had the priviledge of attending another game. Penn State versus South Florida, every seat taken, opening game. Wouldnt you know it our boys when out and really took it to them. 23-13 was the final score. Watching that game with 100,000 other people cheering for the same team I was definately let me know that I had made the right choice on which school to attend. Well, that and the fact that we have some gorgeous cheerleaders. I mean its really hard to watch the game half of the time. I'm getting off track. Anyway the game isnt even the only great thing about Penn State football. Tailgating is another thing entirely when you come to Penn State. Thousands of cars all with happy people talking about their love of the game, and also getting completely blitzed at the same time. When it comes to football our people know it best and I just wanted to let everybody know that. Well thats enough from me.

The Facebook Phenomonon
If you go to college, then you have probably heard of Facebook. If you haven't then you must be living under a rock. I know that expression is cheesy but it is really all that I can think of right now. Anyway back to Facebook. Now for those of you who dont know Facebook is a profile of you that can be accessed from anybody with a Facebook account. By the way, Facebook is a national thing. That means that people all over the country can access your profile and find out where you live, what you look like, your screen name and even your phone number. Now supposedly you can meet alot of new friends easily with Facebook, and I have to admit it to be true, but what about the people who dont want to be your "friend". To me, Facebook could easily be used as a stalking service. I personally know a few guys who are obsessed with Facebook and check it at least 7 times a day. Usually these guys are infact scrolling through the Penn State campus ladies and messaging them. Now when we do it, its pretty much harmless fun but you know theres gonna be a few of those guys who take down your personal information and use it to find you. Some people are actually dumb enough to put their room number in their Facebook making it all the more dangerous. Imagine walking out of your room with some weird dude standing there breathing heavily and saying "Hi I met you on Facebook". Then suddenly he tackles you into your room and has his way with you, just because you had a seductive picture on Facebook that made finding and conquering you all the more easy. I know my views are a bit twisted and most people wouldnt do things like that but the option is definately and easy one thanks to Facebook. Innocent friend finder or stalking service, you be the judge.

LET'S GET BLOGGIN
Today I was assigned 5 blog entries a week. Now normally for me, writing for school seems tedious and boring. But I figure if I get to write about whatever i choose, this won't be so bad. Hell, I might actually have a good time doing this. Might. I suppose I should introduce myself with this first entry. My name is, well I actually dont think I'd like to reveal that seeing as the whole world can look at this whenever they choose. For now you can call me Vicious Marshmallow, unless your a lady then you can call me Sugar Daddy.
What I can share with you are my interests and my feelings from time to time. For the most part these entries will be rants about what I dislike in society. Not to say Im a pessimist but I just happen to notice many problems in society or things that as Peter Griffin would say "Grinds my gears". However there will be the occasional entry that ends on a happy note. For example I might have a day where something amazing happens to me and I will be sure to let you all know about it.
Okay, heres a few things that I'm really into. I love the art of stand-up comedy. And yes I did say art. It takes true talent to be able to go out on your own in front of thousands of people and actually make them laugh and keep coming back for more. My favorite stand-ups of the current era are Dane Cook and Stephen Lynch. I say current era because legends like Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, and Rodney Dangerfield are the true masters of the art.
I am also a big music fan. My favorite would probably be Rock. Any kind of rock will do for me. Well I mean death rock can get a little too dark for me but otherwise Im okay. I dont like hip-hop at all. Sometimes I wont even refer to it as music. I mean I respect anybody who has the guts to perform on stage but I just cant get into it. Well, thats about it for this blog, Im out.
