UNWELCOME GUEST.

Disappearing Act.

Yesterday, around 1 P.M., I was taking a nap in my dorm room. Alex Ball had left just a few hours before and I was finally catching up on sleep. I woke up to a knock at the door. "Fuck that, I'm not answering it." I thought to myself. Then I heard a key go into the door. This is quite peculiar because 1. the door was unlocked and 2. no one has a key but me. I figured I was dreaming.

A kid who I'm assuming was a fellow first year comes in and sheepishly introduces himself as "JP" and tells me that he is my new roommate. He seems pretty shy but also quite happy to be there. Being the antithesis of a normal person I grumbled a "nice to meet you" and then told him that he couldn't move in until I had cleaned the room. He told me he had class till 6:30 or so, and would that be enough time to clean. I said "Absolutely," and he left. I went back to sleep.

When I awoke a few hours later, fully energized, I realized I had some serious cleaning to do. I knew this day would come, but I had no idea it would be this abrupt. Combine that with the Hurricane Alex Ball that had wrecked my room the few days prior and I was in for some heavy duty tidying up. I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning, until my class at 6:30. I also grabbed a bite to eat with my mom, who was in town for a few hours to see a specialized doctor.

So, 6:30 came and went and still no roommate. I went on some adventures that night and returned to my room at 3:00 A.M. Still no roommate. I woke up this morning at 8. No roommate. I went to class, slept through my 2:00 class and he still hadn't arrived. It is now 24 hours after he was supposed to come back and I haven't heard a word. Nothing from my R.A., I haven't seen him around campus, None of his stuff is here. I don't know what to make of it.

I think I might be going crazy.

Quote of the day:

I was walking out of class today and a girl asked me where I was going and offered me her umbrella. I accepted because I was drenched. We didn't talk much and after about three minutes she looks down at her phone and says, "Oh my god! My friend just texted me 'I'm giving Sam head!'" I asked her who Sam was and she told me, "He's our RA."

College...

sucks. Get me outta here.

Made this today.


Dreamcatchers are meant to catch bad dreams that might plague the sleeping person near them, but good dreams know how to fly through the hole in the center and bless the person with perfect sleep. The bad dreams that are caught in the web then die with the light of the next day.

Laptops are insane...

Currently sitting outside, updating this blog.

check out alex and i's new idea for a blog.

Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up. Such a dirty mind.
Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...

When you gonna give it to me, give it to me.
It is just a matter of time Sharona
Is it just destiny, destiny?
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...

Risque, President Bush.

Apparently, I'm a professional skydiver.

I don't want to go into full details because I'm tired, you probably don't care, and it would take a long time; but Allen Bondurant bet me $1000 dollars that I couldn't go skydiving in the next 24 hours (from 6PM Friday). After many interventions from third parties, some smooth talking, some hiding, an Indian reservation, and dealing with the WEIRDEST people...I did it. Now Allen owes me $1000 by the end of summer. If you see him, tell him to pay me. This is what he looks like:

If you ask me in person the whole story, I'll be sure to tell you. I'd like to think it's a pretty good one, I just hate typing. EDIT: Allen is on the right.

Peace out,

Sleep is extremely important.

The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off Alaska, the Challenger space shuttle disaster and the Chernobyl nuclear accident have all been attributed to human errors in which sleep-deprivation played a role.

Also apparently, it should take 10 to 15 minutes for a normal person to fall asleep. Any less and that person is sleep deprived. It takes me 2-4 mins. Therefore, tonight, I have decided I will be going to bed as soon as possible.


Oil spill.

The Challenger exploding.

The aftermath of the explosion at Chernobyl

Sleep more.

Cops don't give up.

Police in Osaka, Japan, mobilized in January to apprehend fugitive Hirofumi Fukuda, 27, who was wanted for assaulting an officer (which tends to get the attention of fellow officers). By the end of the two-hour episode, a helicopter and 460 patrol cars, involving 2,240 law-enforcement officers, were on the case.

A little something about Russian prison tattoos.

This means "life in prison with no chance of parole".

No one cares about Earth Day.

Earth day, which was on Tuesday, is supposed to be a day where we enjoy nature and trees and the preservation of the earth. My school cut down a bunch of trees on that day.
Except this guy:

Also, since my internet was not working yesterday, I couldn't post a fact. It was Shakespeare's birth (and death) day. Boring....

Charlie Brown's dad was a barber.

Since I haven't gone to school in the last two days, my daily learning has greatly decreased. The only thing I've learned is bad news, and nothing that would interest anyone who actually reads this. I'm just depressing. Therefore, I have selected the lovely, talented, and intelligent ELIZABETH BOESE to give today's fact of the day:

Charlie Brown's dad was a barber.




Thanks Elizabeth.

Marijuana is the third most common drug.

In honor of 420, the national marijuana holiday, I have provided a drug related fact. The first most common "drug" is alcohol and then surprisingly, cocaine. Half baked was Dave Chappelle's first movie. April 20th is Hitler's birthday. Marijuana is also referred to as weed, cannabis, ganja, grass, mary jane, dope, and others. High Times is a marijuana themed magazine. This should be considered drug week because April 19th is the first recorded attempt of LSD. Later today I will upload a 420 mix for you to get high to. Hail the leaf.

Winston Churchill was an artist.

This is a piece of his art.

Winston Churchill was not only one of the most famous British Prime Ministers, he was also an artist and a historian. True Renaissance man.

Props to Eric Benson, the people standing next to me, Alex Ball, the party that I'm at, orange juice and my new sunglasses.

A huge species of tortoise that was thought to be extinct has been rediscovered in Vietnam.

These little shits can way up to 300 lbs.
Note: This picture is not the same as the Vietnam turtles, but its a great picture. The Vietnamese species looks like this:

GROSS.
Thanks William Chandler Haines Tyler for giving me this fact.

This year is the 100th anniversary of Converse

If you're into that sorta thing, I'm sure there are some limited edition kewl shits you can pick up. Personally, not my favorite. This fact is brought to you by Allen Bondurant.

Since I forgot to put up a fact yesterday...

I'm adding another mix that I made. Try listening to it and staying awake, it's hard. There is a calming array of songs that will be like lullabies for when you can't fall asleep.

STAY AWAKE

I started and ended with Sigur Ros because they are the quintessential sleep band. There's a lot of different songs on here you may or may not heard of. Tell me what you think and if it puts you to sleep.

There are seven new "deadly sins".

According to the Catholic Church, "The new deadly sins include polluting, genetic engineering, being obscenely rich, drug dealing, abortion, pedophilia and causing social injustice."* It used to be greed, gluttony, lust, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. Now that the church is attempting to take a more modern stance, they have added new things. Better start going to confession...

Don't believe everything you hear.

The other day, my fact was going to be "Mr. Rogers actually has a bunch of tattoos and was a former marine." Then later that day, I found it to be NOT TRUE. Don't believe everything you hear and don't pass it off as fact. Sorry to anyone who I told that little falsity to...just think of it as a gullibility test.

Rick Ross' real name is Will Roberts

Ballers. Hustlers. Will Roberts's.

this is not a fact.

But it is a mix that I think you will enjoy, if you like hip-hop. There are some classics and some new stuff, but all things I think you should check out. So, instead of me learning something new today...you will gain some hip-hop knowledge.
