mid weak (in story form)

this is for isaac

so one day while i was at work, at the movie theater, i was walking towards the door behind the snack bar. i think i was going to get some fruit punch. i looked over towards the door to the lobby to see if any customers were coming. i didn't see any so continued to make my way to that young flashin' fruit punch. i glanced over once more and to my surprise there was someone there. but i was looking down at the floor. at a baby
this baby was crawling towards the door like it was going to open it and buy a ticket for a movie. what's wrong with that? i didn't see anyone else outside the theater doors though, just a baby. no parents, no wild dogs, no nobody. who was taking care of this kid? he just kept crawling towards the door. now, this seemed more interesting than fruit drank so i stopped to watch what would happen next. the baby just kept getting closer and closer to the door until he just pressed his face against the glass. now normally i have problems with kids pressing their faces against the glass because it leaves marks, but for some reason i didn't have a problem with a small baby crawling into the glass door. this had started to get interesting so i decided to call Missy downstairs so she could see it. i think she also enjoys babies.
after a while of the baby just pressing its lil face against the glass door he decided he could not force himself through the glass and apparently gave up. he slowly turned around and i assumed he was crawling back to his car in the parking lot. as he crawled back to babyland the baby slipped, and his arms and legs came out from underneath him. he laid there spread out like he was a paralyzed tile angel. i can only assume that this was extremely embarrassing for the baby because he just laid there for a long time. not moving. now i probably should have been concerned for the baby. but i wasn't. i was really more concerned that while he was kissing the glass someone wouldn't notice him through the door and walk out of the theater, launching the baby violently down the mall corridor. but i really wasn't' worried about the baby laying motionless on the floor.
soon, he reluctantly pulled himself off the floor. the only way a baby knows how to, by raising his butt up in the air first, and holding it there until he could get his arms and legs underneath him. after making it all the way to the theater, realizing he couldn't open the door, smashing his face into the glass, sadly turning to go home, and collapsing in a pride-shattering fall, i would have to assume this baby was tired as hell and just wanted to go home and nap. and that was the last i saw of that baby. just then Missy walked into the snack bar and i had to retell the story. one that would go down in infamy. now i didn't add any pics to the story because i thought i described it pretty well and you get the idea.
your welcome isaac. now for some midweak fun.
i found these online. if the posters described the movie... enjoy click for larger image

rephrase

i didn't mean that i was going to blog again tonight, im just saying that blog can occur more than once in a day. but don't force it. you gotta feel it. if you don't wanna blog don't. it will be poorly written. so anyway, even though i said i wasn't gonna blog again, i did, but only to say that i wasn't. so this doesn't necessarily count as a blog. but since, i'm here, tomorrow is wednesday. mid weak. vol. III? i mean does an end weak get to be included? idk whatever but im dedicating this mid weak, tomorrow, to isaac. i hope he enjoys it.

like 5 days

whatup. long time no blog! HAHAHAHA!!!!!1!! (number 1 inserted on purpose)
no really i haven't blogged in a long time. and since it's past tense it's pronounce blow-gged.
so i just got done with tests. in the last two weeks, i've had a test in all my classes. like 5
they were stressful fo sho. but luckily for me, they were all in-class exams. which brings me to my
first point: i hate night exams
i don't like night exams because it feels too much out of the ordinary. i get done with class, relax for a bit, maaaybe study, then go take a test. At Night! i mean i've been done with school for several hours, now i have to go back? it's so weird. it just doesn't feel like the best learning environment even though its the same classroom most of the time. i feel like i do much better in my in class tests than the ones at night. i had to take night exams for sociology last year, which basically consisted of me sprinting across central campus to make it to the test, and being out of breath for the exam. And, its dark and chilly so i guess that means i'm not in the mood to take a test...
second point: i hate this weather. its been really windy, and that's probably the only reason it sucks right now, but its becoming winter too fast. ya sure its chilly in the mornings but don't be being cold all day. its still september! i had to wear jeans to class today. it was 48 degrees at my first class. yeesh. oh and one thing that i also don't like is when i wear a jacket or a sweatshirt because it's cold in the morning, and then it warms up. what am i supposed to do now! usually i just sweat it out, but i am for sure not tying that thing around my waist...
third point: this cold weather has brought something that you don't realize until you are taking a test. it always happens, cold weather, tests. can you guess? i'll give you one line to guess...

it's sniffle season. whenever its cold out, people get the sniffles. it doesn't bother anyone until you start taking a test. then all you hear is a chorus of nasally sniffs echoing all around you. and i hate that. today being so cold out, i got the sniffles, and i hated it! i couldn't do anything. drip on my test? i am not trying to have that. but there were tons of other sniffling and since we were testing, the quietness allows the sniffles to float freely into your eardrums. i hate being part of something that i despise, like sniffling. but its one of those things you can't control. so i guess i shouldn't get so mad about it. but it's annoying. case closed
and who said there are rules about bloggin' more than once a day? lets see if we can change that.
btw i found out that bo burnham has a blog. and he doesn't capitalize his sentences either. suck it society!

never mind

so i thought that i had this great idea... it was for caffeinated toothpaste. you see, it's toothpaste... with caffeine. so it wakes you up! because everyone is tired in the morning and when you brush your teeth you'll become more awake. it's a great idea right? well a quick google search will tell you that someone's already done that. it's called Buzz Toothpaste. how lame. now if you haven't heard of it that means either it's a terrible product or it has poor marketing. i hoping its the latter.
there is this new bake shop in town that bakes caffeine into brownies and cookies and stuff. it's called Snack in the Face. now that's brilliant. if i teamed up with them we could probably pull this thing off. they have caffeine, i have toothpaste. put em together. $$$$$$
i could call it... CaffDent... Fluorocaf... Awakepaste... TeethNRG... Attentodent... Pick-Me-Upaste
suggestions? let me know what you think

mid weak

so it wednesday! it's mid weak! i be bloggin!

so this week is the career fair. where you can find your future career! well not really, but you can wear a tie to class. i don't plan on going, but i don't really feel like i'm missing out. sure, you might get an internship, but those chances are slim and none, and slim is out of shape. but hey, if you go to the career fair, more power to you. and hey, if you find a career there that suits you, more power to you. but hey, if you don't have dress shoes, think twice about it.
all week i've seen people dressing up. and you know what? it's fun to dress up! shirts, ties, slacks, jackets. but hey, if you are wearing nike shox more power to you, but hey, not while you're going to the career fair. it just looks bad. if you don't have dress shoes, improvise! black spray paint? electrical tape? now these are just two ideas i shot at you. i got a long pointy hat full of them. and! wearing backpacks and dressing up. they don't mix. it takes away from it. hey i'm professional, but i have to turn in my homework. ya dig?
and while pedaling your bicycle? riding your skateboard? i didn't know tony hawk was at the career fair. i seriously saw someone whose initials were N.I. skateboarding in bright blues shoes, with a suit on. very professional. now who am i to say? i'm not even going to the career fair! i just don't think that makes sense. AND he was wearing a backpack. he looked like bucky lasek skated through the men's warehouse on the way to the library. but this isn't a rant. but hey, what if tony hawk IS at the career fair. then i would feel like the goose...

and now to mix things up for mid weak

NEW FREAKOUT VIDEO!!!

i had a weekend

this weekend was by far NOT spectacular. but Iowa State beat Kent State 34-14 on Saturday. their first road win in four years since a texas style barbecue over A&M. i still remember that game... the Cubs pulled one out against the cards and the Bears field goaled their way over the defending champs, the steelers. that was pretty much the highlight of the weekend...

this morning i arrived early to my history class. this was a first. people were waiting outside class. it seemed strange, so i sat next to a friend and waited. i have never been on time to this class so i don't know what shenanigans go on beforehand. after a few minutes of sitting and talking there was that guy who walked past everyone waiting outside. he just opened the door and went in. now i'm like wtf? why am i sitting outside when i could be inside? for some reason we all follow each other like a herd of backpack wielding sheep. or sheep wielding backpacks. if someone else is doing it, i might as well too. i don't know what caused a pile up of people outside, but matt was already sitting inside. someone probably figured another class was inside, and someone else figured the same thing and so on. but there is always that guy. that guys that disregards everyone else. the rebel some call him. he doesn't care that everyone is standing outside. he talking this matter into his own hands. he's the guy that when you are actually locked out of the classroom and someone says, "the door is locked." he will walk up like let me see, and jiggle the handle, like if he tried it, the door might unlock. he acts like his ability to open doors pertains to locked ones as well. well listen guy, you are not king arthur. the classroom is not the sword in stone. so why are you always so certain your handle jiggle is better than my handle jiggle? just wow. but thanks, that guy, if it weren't for you, i'd still be sitting outside the classroom with a bunch of other students with sheep for bags.

end weak (in limerick form)

so i feel terrible for my faithful followers who stayed up late wednesday waiting for a new post. and then on thursday. i said i would post and didn't follow through. my bad. i think i overhyped it. sorry about getting your hopes up. now i can wrap up this week i guess. i hope this makes it up to you...

this week has gone by real fast
i would like this feeling to last
i have two tests this week
and i think i will freak
because all i do is procrast (inate)
- i wrote that earlier this week

i've noticed while walking to class
on almost every student i pass
in their left and right ear
an ear bud will appear
so they can't hear me say "hey jackass"

on thursday i saw sugarland
a popular country music band
now, i don't really care
for country fanfare
but this, you could say, i can stand

i previewed a movie, Blood Creek
the premise i thought, pretty weak
demon horses, third eyes,
nazi magic, 2 guys
this movie was very... unique

this week went by pretty well
i came out with stories to tell
this week gave me some thoughts
about things i've been taughts
so until next time, farewell

some sugarland pics

it will be more like end weak. weak
sugarland tonight...

whoops

sorry i couldn't get mid weak in... i had to work after class and then study for a test.
i promise it will be out tomorrow.
most of the limericks are already written just need to be posted.
sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry
if you start your week late, thursday could still be mid week... eh?

pre mid weak (curse that vol. II)

so remember when i was talking about cursive right? if not...
i just realized that my t.a. for history writes only in cursive. and sometimes that can get annoying. and by sometimes i mean it does. it's hard to read and i just want her to print. even at my job this summer, the secretary, who was too old to understand a computer, except for solitaire, hand wrote the work schedule. in cursive. by italicizing, it looks more cursivy... you know.

anyway, she would make her own letters up. for example, her capital Ws looked like number 2s. it was just hard to read. and while we were writing our weekly essay questions in class. the kid next to me wrote exclusively in cursive. and by exclusively i mean that if you asked him to print he wouldn't.

So earlier, i was with Matt, we were studying for our journalism class. the one where you can't text. we were outside clyde's. that's all there is to that story.
















i've decided that after doing a post about it being wednesday/mid weak, i liked the idea of having a regular idea for bloggin' so i've decided that every wednesday i'll be posting mid weak; which will just be an update of the week and what is to come. if that doesn't already happen enough, i'd like to shake things up a bit. it won't be just a normal blog; ex. the first mid weak was in bullet form. i've decided to write in limerick form for tomorrow's mid weak. here is a preview.

the other day i was mowing my lawn.
some grass shavings blew into our pond.
then the mower began putting,
and the whole thing just stopped cutting.
it turns out the gas was all gone.





end result. i should be a groundskeeper.

now i don't give a frickin flying frick that lawn and pond don't rhyme exactly, and if you do, go sit on a lawn gnome. and ya, i know there are a lot of links. i frickin put them there.

Coming Soon: mid weak (in limerick form)

no i'm not bloggin' on the toilet...

oook this happened last night at the MTV VMAs and if you weren't on facebook last night this is what everyone's statuses were about... LOL



now i think that this was really rude. sorry tswift. kanye i like you, i'm still rocking the 808's and heartbreak but what were you thinking? i'm still a fan but i'm not gonna join that anti kanye facebook group, joe.
back to bloggin'
i had an alright weekend. got to see some friends. some friends i missed. some friends i wish i could've helped.
so my fantasy football team did surprisingly well. i did not expect that. a league member, j*****, has been talking so much crap. well he was nearly doubled in fantasy points this weekend. suck it js. i'm not looking forward to this week. partly because i have two tests. i am going to a sugarland concert, but i am only going because isaac is going. i dislike country music. things are changing around here. its obvious. everything. friends, coworkers, people you look up to. sometimes its disappointing. sometimes its scary. you have to deal. no further questions.
i got sunburnt and that's no fun. sorry to change the subject so quickly.
i really don't feel like bloggin, but i wanted to post that kanye video and i just started typing along. so you're welcome that you had something to read after you watched it. somedays you just don't feel like bloggin and after starting this post i feel like that. almost finished

kanye stop being such a gayfish

labor day blog

this past weekend my cousin got married. to be honest, i would have rather hung out with my friends. they were going to iowa city (gag) for a football game. it was a huge deal. i had to go to the wedding because i was part of it. i was an usher and i had to wear a light purple shirt. i directed people to their seats. i made it look pretty fly.
the wedding was actually awesome, there were blue and purple lights and my cousin's wedding song was Halo by Beyonce















i know right?

it was actually sick and i had a good time. on the way home i watched videos in the car with my sister. we watched Disney's Robin Hood and Tarzan.
Phil Collins made like that whole soundtrack. it was really good. it was like the last of the disney musicals. which is sad. i'm glad that disney is making the princess and the frog because those animated sing-a-longs; huge money makers. reminiscing about disney movies is an entirely different blog post. not now. but possibly in the future. needless, to say, my friends left ic sat and came home. i got to hang with them sunday night. i ended up having a good weekend. that was kinda needless.

this post is dedicated to the Isaac O. Strohman

curse that

so i was thinking. when is the last time that you wrote in cursive? like i know you sign your name in cursive. youre signature is in cursive, but i mean like wrote something in cursive. like a letter or a grocery list. ya, probably a long time. we don't use cursive anymore. i tried writing out the entire cursive alphabet in upper and lower case a lil while ago. struggled, but i remembered. Missy didn't however, i had to help her write cursive. LOL!!! but remember learning to write cursive? i thought it was so dumb. i hated it and we had to write papers in like third grade in cursive. we were told it's faster. it looks better. when people have forgotten how to write cursive letters, and they make up their own, that does not look better. nowadaze, we can type. heck, we can even text faster than writing. with new technologies, should we even be teaching cursive writing anymore? its like latin of the written language. but in english...
anyway try writing your next essay for class in cursive. so how that goes. and get back to me

in other news, ISU beat north dakota state. 34-17. i boosted but we played pretty bad. i love college football season. but during the ISU game this happened


PEACE

carpool tunnel?

so back to the peeved thing. i was walking to visit my friends dorm today between classes. i walked up to the steps to the door, the ones where you need a key. another student was unlocking the door and went inside. i was right behind him. he didn't hold the door. i was clearly in door holding distance. it would have been nothing for him to give the door an extra push to keep it open for me. instead, i had to run to catch the door, and watched the royal d-bag bounce up the steps like a royal d-bag. i may be overreacting because i do have a key and could have gotten in anyway, but its the principle of it. that really peeved me off. ironically, before my next class, i kindly held the door for the girl behind me. as i turned into class, after she entered, i smashed my nose on the corner of the doorway. i was like, what the? that doesn't make sense. i should be pissed at karma i guess.

so last night, i wrote a letter to a friend. i already knew what it was going to say. it means more to me than who its for, but it was the easiest six pages i ever wrote. it was early morning but i didn't care. the hard part now is giving it to them. i don't want to brag, but i feel like its the most thought out well spoken (written) thing i've ever done. it's so good i wish i had a copy for myself. we'll see how it goes.

P'vd

today in my history recitation, to get us to introduce ourselves, the teacher asked us to state one of our pet peeves while taking attendance. i said my pet peeve was when someone doesn't return a text message. i know i have gone over this before, but if you're gonna ask me whatsup and then i respond, say something back will ya! well i was just inquiring what you were doing. i didn't intend to talk to you after you answered my question. that is what i think somebody would say back if i questioned their non response. it would be in kind of an obnoxious voice too. idk
(indent) i was also thinking, while at work, another peeve of mine, is when someone doesn't say goodbye. i like saying goodbye. i do it often. mostly when i leave. or when someone else does. i think those are the only appropriate times. if there's more, let me know. when i don't get a g'bye confirmation, i get peeved. were you ignoring me? ANSWER ME!!! whats the problem with saying goodbye? i'm being polite, throw me a frickin bone here. i want to hear you say it back. please. now we both know one of us is leaving. ok confirmed. no need to wonder where drew is, he said goodbye to me. even if i am not on good terms with someone, i'll say goodbye. it may feel weird but i do it anyway. its scary to think, but what if you never get a chance to do it ever again? i don't look at it this way, it's just comforting when you can get a response. think about that the next time you leave. say goodbye to whomever you are speaking with. hopefully they will do the same.

good bye
