Blogger Demographic

Okay, I don't really know who you are or what demographic you fit into, and let's not talk about me (for once) and what demographic I fit in, but I was hitting the "Next Blog" button up on that top dash board bar, and this is roughly what I found:

> Alot of single asian chicks bitching about everything.

> Alot of house wives who devote their entire blogs to pictures of their children.

> Alot of lonely old men in midwestern US droning on about politics they know nothing about.

> Occasionally there's a blog with some original photography, writing, and interesting videos, and a few links here and there. Not that I'm biased to this type of blog or anything.

Dopest Apartment

After reading this, who doesn't want to live in an apartment?!

Legitimate Craigslisting:

$500 HOLY CRAP! IS THAT A ROOM FOR RENT ON MY CRAIGSLIST??!?!?!?

You bet your nomadic ass it is. Do you want to be homeless? Then you better come check this room for rent out. It has WALLS and a CEILING. BLOCKS THE FUCKIN WIND AND RAIN FOOL!

ZOMG THE LOCATION IS THE SHIT. You can WALK to Washington Avenue from here. So you can get your drink on and do some mackin playa. 10 mins from UH and Rice cause we all about higher education up in here. You could hit Memorial Parkway with a ROCK. But don't. We keep it civilized.

We got carpet up in this hoe too. They wanted to come put in hard wood floors. But I was like FUCK THAT. I don't want my feet to be cold when I get out of bed at night. Carpet. So soft. Transcends the walking barefoot experience.

Man the room... You can put your bed and furniture UP IN HERE!!!! So you can sleep, chill, even EAT. You got a private bedroom! We ain't bunk bedding out this motherfucker.

AWWW SHIT! YOUR OWN PRIVATE BATHROOM!!!! WTF!?!?!? YUH! You can shower and take a shit w/o anyone being up in your business!!! I'm not bullshittin either... I'm talking HOT WATER IN THE SHOWER.

We got ELECTRICITY. POWER ALL YOUR APPLIANCES. Play my XBox360 because I never do. No need for candles or firewood, because I got LIGHTS and HEAT.

-this pad has doors so people don't come up in yo space son
-this place has windows so you can see outside and shit. WHATSUP NEIGHBORS!
-tennis courts, 2 pools, parking garage, a park in the back, brand new gym so you can get swoll. Sand volleyball court WHAT!

Cool(?)

While we're on the topic of cool things, 'cuz that's the topic of my entire blog, I'd like to introduce you to a cool video:

BIRDY NAM NAM - THE PARACHUTE ENDING from Steve Scott on Vimeo.

Recitation

1: Whan that aprill with his shoures soote
2: The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,
3: And bathed every veyne in swich licour
4: Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
5: Whan zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
6: Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
7: Tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
8: Hath in the ram his halve cours yronne,
9: And smale foweles maken melodye,
10: That slepen al the nyght with open ye
11: (so priketh hem nature in hir corages);
12: Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
13: And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
14: To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
15: And specially from every shires ende
16: Of engelond to caunterbury they wende,
17: The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
18: That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.

Why?

"A Swiss freediver held his breath underwater for 19 minutes and 21 seconds..." WHAT?! Why would you ever do that? "There may be long-lasting health consequences to extreme breath-holding" NO SHIT! Death?

Due Today

When I Have Fears

When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high piled books, in charact'ry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love;—then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think,
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.

- John Keats

Mt. Roraima

The below video reminds me of Mt. Roraima, my favorite mountain(?).

I don't know why. I don't even know if/why you care.

Anyway.

SURFACE TRAILER from Silo1 on Vimeo.

Brett Mathes

I am not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's mate.
I am only plucking pheasants
Cos the pheasant plucker's running late.

I am not a pheasant plucker,
I'm a pheasant plucker's son.
I am only plucking pheasants
Till the pheasant plucker comes.

I am a mother pheasant plucker,
I pluck mother pheasants.
I am the best mother pheasant plucker,
That ever plucked a mother pheasant!

Pass The Time

It's all about the plot, all about the story, all about doing something other than homework.

Start of Sailing Season

Wish me luck,
I'm back on the water,
its wet, windy and wild but its wonderful,
just wonderful to be back on the water.

Class Notes

The luminosity of the sun established a "general association of nations" que piensan that I may cease to be the tangent of 64.

Kaleb's Bag

Last year I "borrowed" Kaleb's messenger bag. It was made out of a sail, and was just calling for me. He never used it, so I didn't feel all that bad, and had intentions of returning it anyway. Well, it never got returned, and I've used the bag all sophomore year. The strap broke yesterday, and now I feel horrible.

Mass Texting

I got chewed out by my friends for mass texting them. I asked four people if they wanted to hang, but I used the same message, just sent it to four different people. They took it as an insult, as if I didn't actually want to hang with them. I wouldn't have sent it to them if I didn't want to hang. It's not like I sent it to my entire contact list. From now on I will either begin every message with their name, so they know it's personal, or a disclaimer stating, "THIS IS A MASS TEXT".

DJ Farce

DJ Farce is storming the page with some wicked new tracks. Originally making his debut with the high school crowd, DJ Farce is moving on, publishing his newest works on SoundCloud. Opening up with some House and Techno, you can be sure there's more in the works, and certainly worth waiting for. In the meantime, check out his published pieces!

A Good Day

I was saving this image for a bad day, to cheer me up. However, today was a good day, in Amanda's unoriginal words. Rock Climbing, Mock Trial, no classes after lunch, and free Shasta, Spam, sheet cake, and salsa at the Outdoor Office for their anniversary.

My Teachers

This Sauer,
like a greek god,
with grey hair and glasses.
Not with infatuation,
but with imagination, fascination.
What caused this god to humanize,
and why my science class?

And Wiser,
wiser than a fox,
a professor in sheep's clothing,
being a fleece and jeans that is.

There's Mathes:
a teacher of sorts,
and that is, more of giggles and snorts
than of poetry and classical shorts.

And for a man named Potts,
he stops at Spam and Shasta.
If you know this man you know no words suffice,
no poetic piece could ever paint this man right.

As for Lawton,
well he's a funny character,
not really.

And Lauren, long-last-name,
plays the shame game with kenny
who plays the penis game with jared,
who sits on the other side of me from oh-so-lame.

Tucker's cool,
a little too kind
to the bunch of hooligans,
especially Ian and I,
but they're no girls in the class,
so we don't mind.

And this is my day,
my eight to five.

Science Homework

"Counting (or calculating) the number of atoms in 28.0855 g of silicon is one way of determining the Avogadro constant, N_A, and a way which is currently receiving a lot of attention (see below) although, as of the 2006 CODATA values of the physical constants, it is not the most accurate. It is only a method of determining N_A because it is known by other means that 28.0855 g of silicon is equivalent to one mole. Those other means are:

• the very accurate determination of the ratios of the masses of each of the three silicon nuclides to the mass of an atom of carbon-12, in such a way that it is known that a silicon-28 atom is [27.976 926 5327(20)/12] times as massive as a carbon-12 atom;
• the determination of the isotopic abundance of silicon in the samples used to make the measurements, allowing the calculation of the atomic weight of silicon in each individual sample;
• the definition of 12 g of carbon-12 atoms to be equivalent to one mole."

Spread of Cancer Discovered

"Reporting in Nature Cell Biology, researchers describe the discovery of a specific protein called disabled-2 (Dab2) that switches on the process that releases cancer cells from the original tumor and allows the cells to spread and develop into new tumors in other parts of the body. The process called epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferientiation (EMT) has been known to play a role in releasing cells (epithelial cells) on the surface of the solid tumor and transforming them into transient mesenchymal cell: cells with the ability to start to grow a new tumor."
