MMMMMyesssss.....I'd have a GRAND old time being fake rich! :P

2009-01-30T11:40:18-05:00

If I won $1,000--I wouldn't spend it on bills or rent or whathaveyou---are you crazy? Why would I be that boring? What I would do is I would live it up in style (and, possibly make more money out of it than when I first won the pile of cash). That's right folks, I'd spend my $1,000 on faking being a rich person. I thought about this for a while...and this is my outline for my plan:

My Get Rich Quick Plan (Using my $1,000):

1. Use $10 to buy a top hat, monocle, and cane

2. Cash in remaining money for 990, 1 dollar bills

3. Take 1 dollar bills and print out business card information on top of each one using someone's printer.

4. Stand outside swank, rich communities--stores--golf courses--etc. and start talking to (and befriending) the rich folks in an uppety, rich voice. ("mmmmmmyesss kind sir, could you tell me the time? My mmmmmRolex is currently in the shop. Martin was sent to fetch it for me, but he hasn't returned with my mmmmmBentley just yet.")

5. When given a response, and when completely out of rich things to talk about-- try to thank them for their kindness, and then hand them a freshly printed dollar bill business card in hopes of meeting up for a spot of tea or a quick round of golf if they find time in their sssccheeedule. Who wouldn't want to hang out with me? If I can afford to print my business cards on dollar bills, I'm kind of a big deal ;)

6. Sit and wait for the 990 rich people to call back--and when they do, I'll be in the money---literally--when I'm asked out on vacations on the family yacht, to play polo with billionaires, etc. etc.--you get the point.

I'll just keep buying scratchoffs until that dream becomes a reality ::sigh::

If my friend had a helicopter, I'd travel back in time.

2009-01-30T11:24:05-05:00

Disclaimer: I have no idea why going back in time means going to Boston to Plinky....

Alright, so as we all probably know--helicopters are usually not the best vessels for traveling long distances. So, as far as I'm concerned--my plans for flying around the world have been completely ruined by my friend's STUPID idea to buy a helicopter and not a plane--or even a cruise ship--sheesh.

Anyway--to make up for the crappy means of transportation, I would spend a lot of time converting the helicopter into a time machine. My friend and I would travel all over the place---maybe go clubbing with Abe Lincoln (I hear he was a big partier), maybe go waaaaaaayyyy back and heckle some dinosaurs, actually-- I'd even be up for traveling to the future to see if it's as crazy as everyone says it is.

After that adventure I'd learn to choose my friends a bit more wisely though---a helicopter? seriously? I need friends with, like, spaceships.

Why Does the Laundry Stop Cleaning Itself After a Certain Age?

2009-01-27T13:19:27-05:00

I realized I was an adult when I fell asleep one night and I was 5'2", and the next day I was 7'10". Oh wait, that didn't happen? Hm--no, guess not. I'm still 5'2". Crap.

The next best answer would be: I realized I was an adult when my laundry stopped magically cleaning itself and folding itself nicely in a neat pile in front of my room. Man, I hate laundry day. Never get old if you can help it! :-/

Pandas are the best wild animals for pets--let me tell you why.

2009-01-27T13:13:44-05:00

If I could choose a pet, I'd pick a Panda--because as far as the animal kingdom goes, Panda's are pretty boss.

Giant Panda

Although they look cute and cuddly, my Panda would be trained to protect my house from intruders. Forget the energy crisis! My Panda would also be equipped with a panda saddle, and we would be able to roam the vast countryside together in search of the meaning of life.

When we both get tired at the end of the day, Panda and I will build houses out of bamboo to sleep in. In the mornings before we leave on yet another full day of travel, Panda will eat the bamboo house for breakfast. No life is more efficient and practical than one with a panda.

OF COURSE I'd wear tights!

2009-01-27T13:03:24-05:00

Tights are crucial for superhero powers. Let me tell you why.

Call me Ishmael. (Bad AP Literature reference, I know, but I wouldn't doubt my incredible powers)

I have the strength of ten wild oxen, can destroy buildings and people with my lightning vision, and can summon the wrath of the sea with a wave of my hand. Every once in a while, I make it rain whales. You heard me! Giant whales plummeting from the sky.

I'm more of an evil villain than anything else, because villains have more fun than superheroes. But, just so you know, the unharnessed power comes from my neon pink tights. I found them at the bottom of the ocean one day in Davy Jones' locker--never underestimate the power of the tights!

Why my hip-hop posse would include Benjamin Franklin

2009-01-23T13:32:36-05:00

With proverbs and sayings that make your head spin, my posse's fly with my boy Benjamin Franklin. Wha...whaaaat?

Benjamin Franklin
I'd kick it old school with my homeboy Ben Franklin. It's all about the Benjamins, baby! :)

In defense of my vice: My iPhone

2009-01-23T01:25:46-05:00

Apple creates another pocket-sized product I can't live without--and this time, it does more than just play music!

iPhone Desktop

It all started approximately a year and a half ago when I bought my iPhone. Since then, I can't stop using it. I surf the web--I check my e-mail--with all of my usual internet haunts at my fingertips, it's hard not to want to use this thing all the time. Thanks, Apple.

i think I would quit if the data plan got too expensive. It would probably be a rough transition, but it's a steep price tag for such a cool luxury. I'd fend.

Bryce Jordan Center

2009-01-22T18:33:11-05:00

It's not the best venue in the world--but at least they bring in some half decent people once in a while.

Last good concert I saw there was RHCP...

...I just put this here because it's really the only place that's remotely nice as compared to where I'm from XD

I kick my shoes off when I get home

2009-01-22T18:28:17-05:00

Even without the snow, it's really always been a tradition of mine to kick off my shoes. When I'm at home, I like to be comfortable.

With the blustery, wintery mix outside...it feels nice to kick my shoes off when I get home. It would kinda suck to track all that snow and salt and stuff into the house, don't you think?

Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin

Ah man...why wouldn't it be? It's all about traveling on the open road--plus lots of people know this song, and they'll be singing right along with it!

Jet Airliner by Steve Miller Band

Oh, come on...would you really have a mix tape for the open road without it?

Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf

"Get your motor runnin'...Head out on the highway...Lookin' for adventure...Or Whatever comes our way..." It's fierce, energetic, and gets your blood pumping when you're going cross-country (or anywhere in the car for that matter!!)
