This weekend

So this weekend was pretty cool. I went to Purdue to a concert which was pretty bad. The music was horrible but it was at a frat and so there were other things to do. We then pulled an all nighter where I proceeded to own in street fighter 4. Then we left for Kings Island and spent the day there riding rides and such. This was made even more exciting because while I waited in line for the rides I got to watch the NFL draft on my phone. Finally the Dolphins drafted like a team that wants to win a game in the post season. We got two awesome Cornerbacks and Pat White from West Virginia. I have been to three WVU games and this guy is an awesome player. Plus there are talks that Jason Taylor might come back for one more season with the 'phins. I am so pumped for this season. Oh well I'm starting to ramble and I should probably start finishing up my portfolio. Alright peace homes.

Changing my layout...

So I decided I was sick of looking at that same old Blog layout and am going to make my own this weekend. Bored I am. Thanks Yoda. Anyway I'll get back with you on my final product.

In Class and Can't Think...

So we are doing our portfolio workshop today to edit our papers. The problem is I can't think of what to write about for my paper. I'm going to try that whole "free writing" thing to see if I can't get some creative juices flowing. Ok here goes:


I'm talking about how newspapers lose their identities when they put their papers online right? And that by shortening up and condensing their articles to appeal to the online audience, results in a loss of identity for the article. I was trying to compare these online articles to the news on television in that it seems like they both are trying to get your attention more than they are trying to give you the news. However, this was confusing not just to McArdle but re-reading it i confused myself a little bit. He suggested that the online articles are a hybrid of two media's and that is how I should describe it. Maybe that's what I will do. Alright nice talk.

Go Sox

So I was paroozing the internet the other day and I came accross this clip. Enjoy

FYI I hate school

just letting you all know, in case you were curious, I hate school.

Stupid Test

So i'm supposed to take an inquizit test at 11 tonight. I don't want to study and i already wore out facebook so i thought i would blog a little. The class is stupid, it's biology and i never liked biology in high school. Except for senior year when we were supposed to learn about physics and we just ended up playing ping pong all year. that was fun. I am the ping pong master. I'll prove it, anyone who wants to challenge me i will whoop your @$$ right here right now. sorry for the vulgarity. ugg, i'm bored and i don't want to do anything except sleep. finals are coming up so my weekends are slowly being turned into giant-boring-study-sessions. I am in need of a good ol trip to the water hole. If you know what i mean.... alright no point rambling i'm going to go do something productive. Boston out.

New Phone in the hoooooooooooouse

So I finally got a new phone today! I went through, count 'em FOUR, env's from verizon. So i went in and was like give me a new phone fo FREE! and they were like alright. so i got a blackberry storm. it rocks and i love it. alright well i gtg. peace homies.

The Haunting in Muncie, IN?

So last night my girlfriend and I went out to watch Haunting in Connecticut at the showplace back by the mall. We get there for the 10 o'clock showing and go into the show only to see that we are the only two people in the entire theater. Creepy. Anyway we start watching this movie (which I won't spoil unlike some people in class) and realize that it's the scariest thing in the world to watch when you are the only ones in a huge movie theater. So we left like half way through cuz it was creepin the bajeezus out of both of us. In other news, I am learning how to play the guitar. It makes your fingers feel like you are getting tortured by aborigines. Alright well I gotta go.

Restricted Writing Part Dose?

In order to properly make a paper it must have an introduction, body, and a conclusion. That introduction needs to set up all of the points that you are about to make. Think of it like a point guard in basketball: all it does is give out assists. Then after a good thesis statement, you jump into your paper. Not unlike the great Air Jordan. Then after your points are made you wrap things up with the conclusion. Like Paul Pierce. Only he fouls out. Man three basketball metaphors and I don't even like it that much. Oh speaking of not liking something, so i'm on my way to class right? And i go to get in my car out in by my apartment. And these dudes are trying to tow my car. I'm like wtf here fellas. And they go, "yeah this is what happens when you try and park here when you don't live here." I respond with did you not just see me come out of that apartment and lock the door behind me? I friggin live here. And they try and charge me 50 bucks. So I call up my landlord and I tell this chick listen i'll pay this stupid fine and it's comin out of my monthly rent cuz this is grade A bull $#!+. She tried to tell me that I was over reacting. I told her that she better watch it because she was about to get sued. I'm pretty pissed. After class i'm going to call back and ask if she has gotten my 50 bucks back yet. Man this is wicked retarded. Wicked Re-Tard-ed. If I don't get my money i'm going to call these tow guys on my land ladies car. Sounds like a fair trade I would think. Uhhhh........I'm going to try to think about something else........Never mind we are done with class.

Free Writin' on My Blizog

So McArdle wants us to free write for 20 minuto's about one of the papers that we are revising. The paper that first popped into my head was the in class essay on text speak. I don't really think I did a very good job on it because it was one that I actually had a lot to say about. Ironic isn't it? When I have a topic that I don't really know much about or have limited experience with I can formulate it into a well structured five-paragraph essay, but when it's over something I am confident in writing about I run out of time and write too much. Ok that lasted me about seven minutes. Nice job A$. I have no idea what else to write about......Oh, so today is my birthday. I got like a thousand texts at all hours of the night last night. I got one from a girl that i met here at ball state who transfered at 3 am because she forgot about the time difference. That was cool. What else....... Free writing isn't that free if we have to start off by talking about our papers. It's more like restricted-free-writing. RFW if you will. That sounds like a government agency: The RFW, defenders of restricted-free-writing everywhere. Lame. Anyway......Resident Evil 5 is awesome I got it for my birthday. I love Zombie games. Do you ever wonder what would happen if your neighbors were zombies? And that this whole time we have been stereotyping how they behave? Maybe they are upstanding citizens who just happen to have rotting flesh and little to no intellect. Or maybe they are quite smart? I don't know my neighbors aren't zombies. They do have a really annoying dog that I wish would get eaten by zombies. YIP YIP YIP oh hey do you wanna go get some YIP YIP what YIP YIP YIP... UHHH I hate that stupid thing. Little dogs aren't dogs they are rats that bark. I wish I could punt that stupid thing off the building and then go down the stairs and run it over....Speaking of run over...I got nothin...... So i am officially bored now. We only have like five or ten minutes left so it's cool. This class should totally hurry up though so my girlfriend can come take me to indy for dinner. I'm starving. :( Sad face. Oh speaking of sad face if anyone likes laughing you should go to youtube and lookup Arby and the Chief. It's really funny it's about what Master Chief and the Arbitor are like in real life. It's cool. Something else on youtube is Captain Capitalism. That is funny. Actually I'll post a link for you guys to watch it. Maybe. There's only like another minute left before I have to stop conveying my bunny trails to you, my lovely audience....

My Birthday

So tomorrow is my birthday. I turn 20 and it makes me feel old. My girlfriend said she is taking me out to the cheesecake factory in indy and then to a movie. If you haven't ever been to the cheesecake factory they have really good cheesecake's in any flavor you could ever want. It's pretty expensive though. She keeps saying that she is paying, but I'm going to give the waitress my debit card when she seats us. I'm sneaky like that. P.S. My friends and I are starting up a wiffleball league so anyone interested should let me know.

Love,

Boston

Sprizing Brizake

It's been a busy break for me blogg-diggity-doggers. I have been substitute teaching at my old high school during the day and it's been pretty cool. While I wish I could have gone to the beach somewhere it's nice to have a little pocket money. Oh, interesting story... So on Wednesday my girlfriend and I went up to the Fort Wayne mall, and as we turn the corner guess who we bump into? McArdle and the Mrs. It was pretty crazy. That's pretty much it for my spring break though. Hope yours has been more exciting.

The Pen is Mightier

Today is a glorious day blogger-groupies. I checked my mail and I had a letter from parking services that read: Appeal Approved with a check for $75. In order for you to understand why this is so exciting for me let me tell you how I got that ticket:

Last Tuesday I went to pick my girlfriend up from her astronomy class in cooper science. I was in her car (with a green parking pass on the windshield) and was just going to park at a meeter, go inside, and walk out with her. However, all of the meeters were full. So I parked one space away from them and wrote a letter that read:

Dear Parking Services,

I am running in to cooper to pick up my girlfriend. All the meeters are full so I am leaving the change on this paper to compensate.

This was at exactly 12 o'clock. I left 75 cents on top of the letter and I went inside to pick my up girlfriend. Upon returning at 12:03 I found a ticket on the wipers and my note that the officer had written on. It said: Unfortunately, I had to give you a ticket despite your generous donation to parking services. Obviously, I was a little flustered that this pompous, arrogant, and probably illegitimately-conceived-officer who only works at parking services due to his inability to get into a real police unit would not only fine me after I clearly stated why I was parked how I was, but that he took my quarters anyway. However, I politely went to parking services office and asked to appeal my fine. They told me that I had to write up an appeal and it would be looked at by a committee of students. She also stated that it was normally hand written and about a paragraph long. I turned in a 6 and a half page paper, typed and cited correctly in MLA format (Thanks english 101/102) explaining to the committee that I was wrongly accused of my "improper parking pass in a restricted area". Using both my girlfriends book on Business Law and Ethics and the pamphlet generously provided to me by the assistant at parking services I was able to talk my way out of my fine.

Final Score: Anthony- $75 Parking Services- $.75

P.S. To the cop that wrote me that ticket: I hope that on your way home from work you go off the road, wreck, and as your car catches fire, you have to mawl your own legs off to survive. Then as you crawl back to your home, through every piece of glass ever used by man, a salt truck comes by accidentally dropping every last grain onto your legs. Once you finally do make it home, you find that your "girlfriend" turns out to be a guy who in fact still likes women but was just confused as to your gender. Having realized that you are not in fact filthy rich or even remotely close to making any income at all he leaves you. You then realize that he always leaves the gas stove on after he cooks. However, it's too late and the pilot light quickly ignites causing a chain reaction that spontaneous combustion. As your one-story house with inefficient wiring and plumbing rains down upon you splinters begin tearing into your skin at speeds so fast that you don't even notice as your arms are ripped off. Now with no limbs to speak of you have no defense against the indigenous wolves that live in the woods next to your previously pitiful shelter. Smelling the turkey gravy (of which you are deathly allergic) that started the fire they draw near. As they begin to eat you, it becomes clear that you have neither fulfilled any of the goals in life that you set out to do, or made any acquaintances that have ever paid any attention to you. As death slowly takes hold, your mother calls: you were adopted and they never really loved you.

New Game

I just got Crysis for my new computer. Crap this game looks good! Granted you have to either have just gotten a new computer or already had a NASA/CIA computer handy to play, but it's still amazing. The graphics are outstanding. I seriously spent the first half our just walking around messing with the scenery. So far the story is pretty good albeit a little cliche. Oh no the (insert whatever country america is currently apposed against politically) have captured our scientists. I hope they don't use them to create some kind of massive-super-apocalyptic-death-weapon. Better send in our secret team of (Insert game gimmic) soldiers. Joking aside the story is really good. I'm excited to see how much better the game looks as I progress through the story. I'll keep you posted on my findings.

P.S. Here is a trailer that comes with the special edition game:

P.S.S. Maybe i will put a video of my computer sometime, if you are good enough

Work tomorrow

Tomorrow is my first day working at Lafollete. I am not excited at all. I am sick. Also I have a feeling it will be mind numbingly boring. But I gotta pay off the bills. Any who, interesting fact for the day: I ate at McDonald's for the first time in forever. Just fyi.
Well good night.

Miss me?

Sorry for my absence loyal bloggets, but I had an unfortunate accident happen last weekend that prevented me from being able to come to class. My Aunt slipped on some ice and dislocated her ankle and also broke the two bones that connect her ankle to her leg. She was in some serious pain. So my family went down to take care of her. However, I am back and ready to continue servicing you with my awesomeness.

Thank you for smoking

So the movie we are watching in class is pretty cool. The main guy is a spin-doctor/pr man for big tobacco. He could talk his way out of anything. It's cool. We only got half way through it though. FYI I hate stopping movies half way through, it ruins it for me.

New Classes

Dear Enthusiastic Readers from Cyberland,

So I had this crazy teacher today. For the sake of modesty I won't say which one, but he is from canada, and still has the "accent" or whatever. Notice that both canada's lack of capitalization and accent in quotations showing my lack of belief that that place is anything but America's hat. Anyway the dude keeps saying "aye" after every sentence so I decided if we were going all out on the fake accents I started talking like I was some guy from Boston adding "wicked" to everything I could. He didn't catch on. Anyway. I'm blogging instead of doing my math class. But it's online and the chick gave us like a week to do the easiest crap. Anyway I gotta go, I have a wicked awesome assignment I gotta do.

Love,

Boston

What is up???

So how was everyone's break? Mine was pretty good. Stayed in Muncie almost the whole time. My apartment is pretty cool. But everyone there owns a dog because there isnt any kind of fee for having one. Not like cool dogs, like little yippy punt-able dogs. Anyways, just checkin in to make sure I'm still the master of blogging. pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah right.
