Oh the craziness that is going on in my life. Last weekend was Palmerfest here at Ohio University and it was extremely CRAZY! I have never been apart of something as wild as that day. It was great, refreshing in a way. I had 5 (kind of 6) friends that came to visit me for the all day party. Gibson, Evan, Declan, Kendrick, and Ciesa all came to visit and I loved almost every second of it. Yes, I realize that I just called 3 of them by their last names and 2 of them by their first, but if you knew anything about me, you would completely understand why I do that. The funny thing is that I know I have siblings out there who are reading this and frantically trying to figure out why in the world I do this. Have you figured out the answer yet, yes I'm talking to you Rachel and Kelly??? Ahh, I'm actually not going to tell you just yet because I think it's kind of funny. So, the reason why I said kind of 6 friends came to visit is because Ciesa brought his girlfriend and she is pretty cool, therefore she should be honored to be my friend. I know sounds cocky, and well, it is, so get over it.
Oh my, what to talk about next...wellll, I am in the process of watching Grey's Anatomy. Sad, I know, but you will get over it.
I am taking a class and attempting to be an RA. By the way, which most likely isn't going to happen due to the fact that there are 280 people that are available for the 73 positions, soooo I guess the chances are slim. But, we'll see what happens. I find out on Wed. of next week so I will keep you posted. Ok, so in this class, we talked about diversity today. I really got to thinking and I want to propose something. I think that you should all put yourself in a position that isn't you. If you like sports go see a play or the orchestra. If you like the orchestra or plays, go see a sporting event. I think that it's interesting. Imagine being a minority, for example, being the only black person in an office at work. Just think about the things that have to run through their minds. Thoughts of loneliness along with others. But, try to put yourself in their shoes. Literally, put yourself in their position, a position to where you are the minority. This might be ignorant of me to say, but I think that if everyone understands what it feels like to be put in a position like that, then a lot of problems could be solved. I don't know, it's just a thought...
On a brighter note, it's amazing how awesome the Reds are this year. They just finished off a complete shilacking of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Not exactly sure if shilacking is a word, but if it isn't, than it should be.
Just saw a movie trailer for Angels and Demons, and I can't even begin to explain how excited I am for that movie, so I won't...
Hmm... Calculus sucks, just an fyi.
I've got a question for you, would you every step in front of a moving bus for a complete stranger? Would you ever do that? Maybe you try and save the person and in the process, you get hit, would you do it? Just think about it.
I'm doing a research paper on Amy Hempel right now. Right now I'm still in the "research" stage. Basically the paper is due in two weeks and I haven't even started, and I love it. But, Amy Hempel is probably my favorite author of all time. I think mainly because she doesn't write novels. And no, she isn't a sports writer either. She writes a lot of short stories and puts them all together which makes a book. It's just cool, and a lot of times they books are just about random crazy things, which is exactly what my blog is about.
I bet you thought that I forgot about what I said earlier, well I didn't. So, if you know anything about me, you understand why I call some people by their first names and some by the last. Well, here it goes, the reason is because they just sound better. Gibson sounds better than Brandon. Both are two syllables, but, the last name just sounds better. Declan sounds better than Robillard. Not to mention that his first is two syllables and his last is 3. Kendrick is way better than plain old John or Johnathon. And again you have the syllable thing. Yes, I could call him John, but that is boring and there isn't any fun in the name John. With Ciesa it's either Ciesa or Michael, and I'm sorry but Ciesa sounds better than Michael. Because both are two syllables, the better name is said. Now, Evan is the odd-ball. His last name is one syllable, and his first name is two, but his last name is Wray. Look, Evan and Wray go well together, but I can't call him Wray because in a conversation, if I said "Hey Wray" then it sounds like I am saying "Hey Ray" as in the name Ray. And I just can't bring myself to doing that just yet. So, that has nothing to do with anything, and to top it off, you just wasted 30-40 seconds of your day reading this paragraph.
I have 4 weeks of school left and I can't wait. So the plan is to knock out 3 more blogs before the end of the school-year. And, I'm having a bit of an issue finding more "top 5's" so I need things to have a top 5 about, which means I'm looking to my 4 readers out there to give me ideas.
That being said, I clearly don't have a top 5 for this week, so I will leave you with a quote.
