Liam Lynch on Acid

This is exactly why you should never do acid. It's so much better to record people who do tripping out and post it on YouTube so everyone can laugh about it.

Liam Lynch did that "United States of Whatever" song and anyway he's like tripping on acid in a closet and Dan Deacon another really cool artist like recorded him and made this trippy video.

I just thought the whole thing was hilarious and everyone needed to see this.

ONE

Anyone who's seen me has probally noticed the white wrist band I always got on. The organization it represents is ONE, a world hunger effort. The group is really excellant and offers alot of opportunities to get involved abroad or even domestically.

It is really an excellant cause. There is no reason for anyone to hungry with all we have acheived and advanced. And yet millions do every day. Its just not okay.

Movie: The Informant

This is actually really interesting because when I saw the trailer the premise sounded really familiar and then I remembered that This American Life had done a story on this guy. It is one of my favorite episodes. The whole story is just really interesting. It looks like the movie makes him out to be a little more of a goofball than they did in the radio show but I guess that makes for a better movie. Anyway looks quality. I urge you to check out both of these.

Teddy's Passing

Senator Ted Kennedy died today, and he will be greatly missed. He was the last of a era, of a embodiment of hope and inspiration in a time of hardship and dispair. None can deny the man immense dedication to this nation and his tireless efforts to advanced the lives of our less fortunate with nearly half a century of public service. He was a great man and today is one for morning.

First Days of Class

Well just finished day one about to have day two get under way. I'm sitting outside Olmstead right now even though since don't have class until 2 this day I should be back at Ross sleep for a few more hours. Its just campus is so nice during the warm seasons. There is just an amazing amount of green grass and flowers and trees and awesome. And you really have to enjoy it while you can because it gets so cold here in the winter. It's like two different campuses. Of course all the Minnesota kids just think I'm being a pansy.

Anyway the other day wasn't anything tough it just wasn't all the engaging. I mean except for Advertising Principles (which sounds really cool actually and I think will be alot of fun) I had Statistics and Geography. Both of which, while fine subjects, I'm sorry to are not what holds my attention very well. I don't know numbers and arbitrary lines on the ground just don't do for me. Needless to say I'm going to either have to catch up on my sleep before those days or invest in some serious Red Bull.

Today I have Business Law and Marketing Intro. Business Law I guess is all dependent on what teacher you have. Unfortunately I cannot remember who I have or how to figure out who I have, so whatever just go to the firing line blind I guess. I haven't heard anything about Marketing. I don't think it should be too bad though. Ought to be a pretty good year all in all.

Hubs

Okay Hubble Cafeteria may not be the best but its a ton better than the cans of cold chili and nutrigrain bars I've been living off of for the past couple days. So finally the place is open, but when I get there the place is swarming Freshman with their PMAC's. Ahh it was crazy. It looked like they even had extra tables and those were filled. The place was packed with this huge spiralling line leading out of it.

So we said alright we'll come back in like a half hour. When we came back yes the place was cleared. But nearly all of the food was gone. I don't want to be mean because I'm sure people thought the same of me during welcome weekend but they're like locust. They just desimated the place.

BACK AT DRAKE !!!!

I'm back. I actually got back sunday but haven't been able to get a chance to get on and blog about it. There has just been so much going on. I'm staying with three other guys in a quad at Ross (which is the dorm off campus and is also like the best as sketchy as is), and we all brought too much crap. I got to figure a way to get my futon and some other stuff I had in storage over the summer back home.

O that's one freshman should know. If you live far away from the University get like one of those storage units you can put all of your winter crap and stuff you not gonna need back home over the summer.

Man its great seeing everyone. Ofcourse not everyones here yet so its still a little having the place emptier than normal but everywhere you look I see an old friend I haven't seen for a long time. It's a great feeling.

Ah I'm just really tired we've been hauling stuff around all day. Me and my bud got stuck with the small room so we had to spend a good couple hours feng shui-ing all the furniture to make it tolerable. That was a pain. It's good now though. I think we got it set up pretty well.

Anyway its just nice to be back. Got a week til school starts to just chill and relax with friends. Good stuff
