Well crap, I think my mom was right. A few weeks ago, I told my mom that the cd player in my car was broken. Thinking that she'd say that we would get it fixed the next time that I was in town, I was shocked to hear her say that we should wait... about a month. She told me that waiting and just listening to the radio would be "good for me." I got pissed and thought my mom was being completely ridiculous. Welllll, here I am now about 2 weeks without a cd player.. and thinking that maybe she was right. Here's why: It really made me realize that I was stuck in a phase. Pretty much all I had been listening to for a really long time was hardcore, emo, and some metal. Obviously, they don't really play this kind of music on the radio, so I was basically forced to listen to other types of music. This is GOOD. It's just not good to stick to one type of music. So what do I listen to on the radio? I've kinda been all over the place. Oldies, rock, alternative, classic rock, rap, classical, country. I know. Now, if you just called me a fag, you're a fag. Open your eyes. There are many different types of music out there. Get your head out of your ass. I'll admit, I used to think that the "punk/hardcore/metal/emo" genre was the best and nothing could be better. Well, I do still think that it is my favorite genre, but I appreciate and enjoy a lot of other genres also. Come on, EVERYONE needs a little Van Halen, Beach Boys, Ludacris, or Tchaikovsky in their life. Taking a break from what you've grown accustomed to is a good thing. Try it. Everyone needs a break from the norm every once in a while. Doing different things makes life exciting and interesting. And also, sometimes... your mom is right.


On a side note, which may just void everything I just said, but I've been listening to the new Taking Back Sunday. How? Cause I rule. That's how. You want it? Too bad. I really like it. I don't think it's as good as Tell All Your Friends, but it's still really good. Yeah!

Today was a good day. So Baylor is having it's orientation for all the new freshmen next year. This means that there are hundreds of little kids and their parents walking around campus trying to figure out where to go. It's really fun to see all of the little fresh-outta high school, gotta act cool kids get embarrassed by their awkward and crazy parents. I think I've decided that it's gonna be really fun when I get old and eventually have a kid of my own. I'll embarrass them by saying weird things and acting like a moron in front of all of their friends. Yeah, that's gonna be fun. So anyways, I had just finished class for the day and I was walking toward the parking garage. Some father and son(obviously visiting) pull up to me in their Impala and the father asks me how to get to Robinson Tower. I take a second to figure it out in my head and start to tell him: "Alright, so you're gonna take a left up here at this stop sign, take a left at the next stop sign, take a left on to University Parks Dr. at the light, and follow that all the way to the other side of I-35 and it'll be on your right." He asked me a few questions just to get it straight and tells me "thanks." Feeling like I gave him good directions and feeling good for helping out, I smile and say goodbye. He drives up to the first stop sign and goes straight through it. I smile again.

I know this post is a little late and this happened a while back, but it is something I want to talk about. The Lakers. The Lakers suck. They are cocky bastards who thought they could win the championship with no problem at all. Well, they lost. Karl Malone and Gary Payton, you guys suck too. You abandoned your old teams and joined the Lakers, cause you thought that the Lakers were a guaranteed win. Well guess what crapheads? You lost. You deserve to lose and I'm glad you did. The Lakers had the potential to be the greatest team the nba has ever seen with kobe, shaq, gary, and karl. The combined skill of all these guys should have dominated any team. But they got too cocky and lost it all. So what do I say? I say screw you Lakers. Screw you Karl Malone, Gary Payton, and Kobe Bryant. But Shaq, you still kick ass in my book. With movies like Kazaam and Steel, how could you not like this man?

Screw you Karl.









i love you shaq.

So there's this girl in my chemistry class that sucks. Here's why: Chemistry class is really boring and it doesn't help one bit that it is an hour and a half long. Near the end of class, a lot of people get antsy and want to run out of there screaming. So this girl that sits across from me is one of those people. Now here's the part that annoys me. Every day she asks the girl next to her, who sits in front of me, about ten minutes before class is over what time it is. Now seriously... what the hell. First of all, if you're not wearing a watch and you want to know what time it is, go to the store and buy yourself a frickin watch. People wearing watches aren't wearing them so they can tell you what time it is. And second, I'm almost 99% sure that you have a cell phone. My cell phone tells me what time it is, and yours does too. Is it that hard to look at it? Think about this. You're interrupting the girl that sits in front of me, me, and anyone else that hears you. Also, I think the professor knows what time it is also(he's wearing a nice little time-telling device). And I think he knows what time class ends, so if you just have a little patience class will eventually be over. I don't know why this bothers me so much, but it does. I don't care that she doesn't wear a watch. I just care that she has to be a moron about it. Get a watch.

Guys who think Mustangs are cool are funny. They make me laugh cause it really is a girly car. Now I know I don't drive a badass car or anything, but I know that. Guys who drive Mustangs think they rule and have the coolest car in the world. I have one picture for all of you who disagree:






This past weekend in Austin was fun. My favorite quote from this weekend is:

Justin Wood: "Oh man Nick, how many have I had????"
Me: "... one."

And one last thing: Drew's blog is back in business, so check it out here

This post is dedicated to my mom. Why? Because all throughout my life she would always say, when the time called for it, "it comes in threes." Today was definitely a day of threes. But actually, I don't believe in this phrase at all, because you can always find a random group of 3 in any situation and I think it's really stupid. Here's my day:
I got up around 7:00 to get ready for class. I go into my kitchen for some breakfast and look at the bananas. What do ya know? 3! Is it a coincidence that there were three on this all-three day? Or did I just purposely buy 3 yesterday since I knew I was going home for the weekend? Who knows?!? Little did I know that this whole day would come in threes. I take a shower and head off to class. After class, I went and got lunch at Wendy's with Matt and Jonathan. Wait a minute! How many times have I eaten at Wendy's in the past week? 3!! No way!... Crap, that's actually kinda sad, but I seriously love that place. But anyways, there also were 3 of us at Wendy's. Then, Drew and I decide to go running and kayaking. On our walk over to the Bear trail, we saw two bums under the bridge, and I started to get a little worried. This can't be happening, this is an all-three day. So we run the bear trail and we head back to the house. As we are going back under the bridge, we saw another bum. But wait! It's one of the 2 that we saw before! Crap! Disappointed, I mosey on over to the house. In front of the house, out of the corner of my eye, I see someone approaching me. Could it be a bum? YES!! 3 bums today!! This bum cleaned up the yard for two dollars. Sorry dude, dollars don't come in threes. Drew and I then go kayaking in the crystal clear brazos river. After that, I go home, shower, and eat some pizza for dinner and watch some Family Guy. And then I remember that Lance and Boz wanted to play racquetball. So all 3 of us go play and I realize that this makes it 3 sports/physical activities for me in one day! *NOTE: This is not normal for me.* Then I go home and take a shower. 3 showers in one day too! And how many loads of laundry did I do throughout the day? That's right! 3! HOLY CRAP. That's a LOT of 3's. You're right mom, everything does come in threes. phew, that was stupid.


And now on to stuff that isn't just a waste of your time...
I went to best buy the other day and spent nearly $100 on stuff.

Family Guy. My favorite tv show of all time. I finally bought the dvd's at best buy. Not because I have money, just because I couldn't stand not having them anymore. I will be watching these most of the time I am in my apartment, so come by if you want to check em out. Both dvd sets I give a 10/10.


The new Underoath cd. "They're Only Chasing Safety"
Underoath is an awesome band and so is this cd. I suggest you give them a listen. The only problem I have with this cd is that it's kinda short. 10 tracks with one of those being a retarded track that doesn't deserve to be called a song. Other than that, it rules. 8/10.


The new Beastie Boys cd. I really haven't listened to it that much yet, so I can not give an accurate rating at this time. I apologize. I have been listening to Underoath too much. Also, my cd player in my car is broken. I seriously can't stand it. The radio just plain disgusts me and pisses me off. I often drive in silence. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it all the way to Austin with just a radio.

Holy crap, now that's an update.

HOLY CRAP!!!! How could I have forgotten DUNKAROOS!!! For some reason they just popped in to my head just now, and I was reminded of the awesome snack. I can't remember the last time I had some, but the more I think about them the more I want them. I'm thinking about going on a Dunkaroo adventure to find these things. I'm not even sure if they make them anymore. Well, we'll see. Dunkaroos rule.

Summer classes have started and they suck. I'm taking Chemistry and the only reason I enjoy it is because it's in the science building. In other words, I'm not enjoying it. Except when I see people in lab coats. I don't know what it is, but people wearing lab coats just make me laugh. I really don't know why. Something that I seriously am afraid of is when people run. I'm not talking about the kind of running that you do as exercise, but when people are running in normal clothes and stuff. For some reason, if I see someone running I immediately think that they are running AWAY from something. Then I start wondering why they're running and what they're running from. So my chemistry class is right in the middle of the building with labs and stuff all around it. I saw two people running outside of my classroom and I got a little worried. Why are people running in the science building? Stop! No running in the science building! With all those chemicals and crap. I was just waiting for the whole building to explode. One last thing. I don't usually like skating videos, but this one is amazing. Watch it.
