My Life at this point.

Well everybody, wasn't that fun?  I thought so, it was a good diversion from the norm of what I will general do.  It allowed me to flex my creative muscle and just cut loose on here.  But I am ecstatic that it is over.  This may become a rambling blog, look out!

The Snowpacolypse: Chapter Three

The third chilling part in this epic tale of courage and survival based on true life events! Read on as we explore...

Chapter Three:  Parties of Old... and SNOW ZOMBIES!!!

Their faces were pale, whiter than even the German's pallid tones.  As White as the snow that encompassed them.  Their speech was mumbled and incoherent, none of our brave and dashing heroes could make out a word they were saying.  This is when when the realization dawned on them what they where witnessing, and what the German's girl had experienced when she went back to her own place the night before.  They had all turned into SNOW ZOMBIES!

The Snowpacolypse: Chapter Two

Due to unforseen circumstances beyond our control we hit a bit of a snag with keeping you up to date on the horrors our heroes are set in the face of certain death. We now pick up where we left off, with only a few continuity errors as the writer was so frozen he forgot some of the details. He was also delayed in writting this, and has forgotten what he lied wrote about earlier.

Chapter Two: Two Days before the Day After Tomorrow

Holy-stolen-blog-title Batman, that's today last tuesday! Right when I am writing this!

Snowpacolypse: Chapter One

We continue the harrowing true life look into the events that are occurring in the ongoing snowpacolypse. Your patience in this matter is still appreciated.

Chapter One: Late Nights and Early Mornings

The festivities that occurred at The Wal-Mart were now a thing of the past as this ragtag group of people go to The Plex to bunker down for the night, armed with the warmth of the DVD's and popcorn, this ragtag group of people began to brave the coming storm, still unaware of the tragedy that will soon befall them. Their happy friends made the trek to the city, hoping that they would find some solace and warmth their. They have not been heard from since.

Fivel Goes West kept them warm through the first part of the night, as they continued to huddle together for warmth. They made it through Fivel, which they received from the two Giants of Plaster, and continued to laugh as the weather came down upon their houses. Up next was a gender bending tale of adventure and excitement in the form of Mrs. Doubtfire. Their laughter kept them warm and spirits lifted through the night into the early hours of the morning. The females had to cross the frozen tundra to get to their own house to avoid the stigma that would befall them for spending the night there.

They appeared to have made it, though only one would return the following morning. It was in that morning that they discovered the horror of their predicament, they woke to find... The Snowpacolypse!!!

Snowpacolypse: Prologue

We interrupt the normal output of this blog to bring you this urgent story coming through the pipe lines. We thank you for your patience.

The day started as any other day, classes and the like, no one suspected a thing. Then the reports started to pour in, ten inches, twenty, all conflicting, all pointing toward one thing, the Snowpacolypse.

The Iowan and his friends, the German and the Irishman, paid no head to the warnings. Them and their "happy" friends ignored the reports of impending doom and gloom. Then it happened, something that had not happened in a millennium. SBU cancelled all classes. It should have been a warning that signaled the end. Instead, they went to The Wal-Mart with the Colorado woman and her friends. There was much rejoicing and celebration at The Wal-Mart as the SBU students made The Wal-Mart a place of partying. They mocked the people stocking up on food stuffs. They mocked their own demise.

The end was coming.

The Ten-Year Rule

Welcome back friends and loyal readers!  I bet you guys thought this was dead or I was going to break my New Year's resolution, didn't ya?  Well I didn't! so take that skeptics!  I actually have quite a few ideas kicking around in my old head for some decent blog posts, so I may just get crazy this week, who knows!

Ok, today friends and only readers, I will be discussing the ten-year rule.  This is something I picked up off the Art of Manliness e-mail list.  First a side note, I love The Art of Manliness webpage and e-mail list, if you are a male, you should sign up for it, it is packed full of goodies.  Secondly, the e-mail guy was mostly talking about vacations, but I think it is a fantastic  idea that can be translated into the whole life.  But more on that after the jump!

Movies... and my class!

So for this Jan-Term, I am taking Bible and American Culture.  In this class we take "Cultural Texts" and dissect them though a Biblical lens.  This is a hard thing to do!  On the one level, it is interesting and fun.  You look at a film and figure out what it is trying to say on multiple levels.  This is the fun part.  Then it goes into what this means about our culture and ourselves.  This part sucks, some of it is easy, but we need to just keep going deeper and deeper and my mind is like AHHH!!!!  

I really just needed to blog.

I am tired and there are people around.  So there is that.

Yay.

The Traditions of This Time of Year... and Other Unrelated Ramblings

So, first real post of the new year.  I think I am going to just list and ramble.  So, away we go!

• I love me some New Year's traditions
• I can eat all day on New Year's Day and it is perfectly fine and normal
• Parades!
• Ok, so only one but I do enjoy parades
• The bands are fun to watch, the floats are beautiful artwork, and who doesn't like horses?
• Announcers can be annoying, why isn't there a single arena with good announcers?
• Football!

New Year, New lists and resolutions

Well, it is that time of year again, the time for lists and resolutions.  Do you like how I just repeated my title in my first sentence? Yeah, me neither, my English teachers probably wouldn't as well.  Any who, let's get started shall we?

So, New Years Resolutions, everyone makes them, some people even intend to keep them from time to time!  This year it is different.  I am actually going to keep it as much as possible, and therefore, I am making it public! That's right, you anonymous public can help me keep them, aren't you excited?  First I will break it down into various groups of goals, and then list them with some details.  Away we go!
