Jet Skiing

Spent a good amount of this weekend Jet Skiing. It was totally freakin awesome. I had so much fun doing. The only bad part was when i tried using a stand up jet ski and I managed to slam my face on it... oh well. I then decided to do some tubing, and that proved to be a mistake. As I was sitting in the tube and we were going about 45mph, I was tossed from the tube, flipped backwards, and slammed face first into the water. When I got home I saw that my nose was pink and purple and a little swollen and hurt when I move my head... Broken? Maybe. Worth it? Definitely...

Worms can do calculus?

I just found this article, apparently round worms do calculus to find food or some crazy shit like that... Its really weird, read it. Apparently even worms can do advanced mathematics better than I can...

Now if you'll excuse me, i think I'm gonna have to kill myself...

CIWWAF

The new Cute Is What We Aim For CD is out and I love it. It really is a band that aims at high school and college aged kids by singing about stuff that happens in most of our social lives. This naturally makes it more difficult for them to become mainstream and for adults to really get into it but if you wanna hear some outrageous and funny sexual innuendos and general commentary on the life of an average high school/college aged kid you should really listen to them. This stuff is all very real and all of their songs feel like they could have been written during a week of school by simply writing down what everyone was talking about.

Great stuff

I'll try to remember I have this and post stuff more often

College kids know nothing about St. Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th. The St. Patrick's Day parade in Southie takes place on the sunday around that time, though not necesarily on that date. Well many people, myself included, dressed in green the whole weekend. One problem with that though... I was one of the few dressed in green ON St. Patrick's day. Kids kept giving me strange looks on that monday. They inquired if I knew that it was over already. I would then have to explain their own ignorance to them about how St. Patrick's day is the 17th, but they wouldn't listen. "Why would they hold the parade on sunday if the holiday was monday?" they would ask. I didn't even bother trying to explain at that point. I simply shrugged, walked away, and kept happy with the knowledge that at least I myself know a little bit about my own heritage even if the rest of the world uses it as an excuse to be loud, drunk and annoying for a weekend...


I hate stupid people...

Of course, the worst is, this year, St. Patrick's was moved to the 14th this year by the Roman Catholic Church so it wouldn't fall during Holy Week, but apparently none of us got the memo.

Virgina Trip, Final Day

Well, onm sunday we were going to return home. This was a problem though because daylight savings was that day. Well, me and Nate didn't get our wake up call. We got a call at 9 (the time we were supposed to leave) that we were going to miss the bus(they wouldnt actually leave without us but scare tactics can be effective). Well Nate was freaking out. I had packed the night before though, so I simply tried to calm him down and help him pack.

Needless to say, we made it to the bus, no problems. We then proceeded on our 11 hour bus ride home. We watched Live Free or Die Hard, Rounders, and Knocked Up on the way back. We arrived back in Boston and that was it. Our long journey home completed, I proceeded back to my dorm room quite pleased to know that I will not have to take a bus ride like that again for quite sometime.
