Sweet Relief

This is my third post within 10 or so minutes, which means that I have my English assignment done.  I don't know of much to write about, so it seems as though I'm going to ramble on for a minute or two.  We have a one hour meeting for all athletes, which is completely pointless.  It's mainly for the people who are new to the school or never competed in athletics before, and I am at a loss as to why we must attend this meeting.  It just seems like a waste of time.  Toga day was also really awesome yesterday.  That is all.  I am relieved.

No Homo

It just doesn't work all the time.  If you don't know what it means, you probably shouldn't.  Especially since it came from a Lil' Wayne rap song.  I mean if Justin Estes listens to the music, it's pretty bad.  The only decent song Lil' Wayne has is "A Milli", and that's simply because it has an amazing bass line.  If you don't know, I love a song with a good bass line to play in my car.  Soon enough, I'll be getting a sub-woofer (or two) and I'm very excited for it.  Trust me, I'm not one of the jerks who play the subs while driving down the street at night.  I'm annoyed by them too, I hate being woken up by that.  Any time I pass houses or neighborhoods, I always turn them down.  But on country roads, anything is fair game.

The Greatest Thing I Have Done to Connor

Well, it's fairly mean.  I pressed the control, alt, and arrow keys on his laptop keyboard so that the screen rotated for a seemingly infinite time.  Actually, it did last a full hour, counting the time that he shut it due to frustration.  It was very funny.  I'm fairly surprised he doesn't hate me at the moment, he's taking it in a pretty good stride.  Also, I now have three blogs to compose in two days.  It's going to be interesting thinking of a topic to write on.  Two more to go.

Time Crunches

Turns out, I only have four blogs so far for this month.  This will be my fifth.  I believed that I had seven for this month, so I feel fairly constricted now.  I wasn't going to write on a particular topic because I didn't know what to write about, but I need to write any chance I get now.  So here's to doing a post every day for the rest of this week.  Also, speaking of being time crunched, homework isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can still suck.  Teachers definitely plan to dump the homework all at once, and it is totally ridiculous.  Obviously, I have a lot of homework to do in very little time.

Plagiarism

Kevin Durant is a 21 year old superstar in the NBA.  Just last year he became the youngest ever NBA scoring leader while averaged 30.1 ppg.  When he was just a young lad as a rookie in the NBA he averaged 20.3 ppg, thats pretty good for a rookie.  Kobe Bryant only averaged a miniscule 7.6 ppg when he was a rookie and look what he is now.  You may say thats Kobe though, he is terrible, Dwayne Wade only averaged 16.2 ppg as a rookie and he has now risen to become a NBA champion.  I'll bet the Trail Blazers feel dumb after drafting Greg Oden ahead of Kevin Durant.  That poor coach he probally cries himself to sleep every night since then thinking about what he could have had.




That was easy.  I thought this was a perfect beginning to share a few comments on plagiarism.  Actually, I lied.  I just thought it would be funny to steal someone else's entire blog and I thought I'd have to have some type of original writing to go along with it.  Anyway, plagiarism is a greatly misunderstood idea.  Most people believe that if they simply switch words around that the work becomes their own.  However, it's more than words, it's the flow of ideas.  Sadly, that's all I get to write today because the spare laptop I was given has a new keyboard yet a broken space bar and it is very difficult to type on.

A Salute to Connor's Blog

Coco Honey, what a great man with great blog posts. Especially "Tyler's Man Crush."  That post is so brilliant, that I thought it needed a special acknowledgement.  Here we go.  I personally agree with Coco Honey's sentiments about Tyler's abnormally large man crush on Steve Nash.  Tyler is normally a fairly quiet person.  However, the second basketball is brought into the conversation, Tyler brings in Steve Nash.  It is absolutely ridiculous.  I think he would be the type of person that would have a life size cutout in his room.  He wouldn't have it just to look at it, he would try to talk to it in hopes that it would talk back because he knows he'll never have a chance to meet Steve Nash.  That's the kind of crazy he is.

Drivers

They are unbelievably stupid.  I know we talked about this in class today, but they are truly stupid.  Unbelievably is an amazing word to use because as you are driving, you can imagine what a person will do based on their driving attitude and actions.  However, they always seem to amaze you.  I believe we've all had people run red lights and stop signs, almost crashing into us.  But sometimes, they just do some crazy stuff.  For example, me and my family were driving a while ago and we saw a car reversing down the street.  It's not like they were just doing it for a short distance.  They were really driving in reverse, the whole way.  Actually, they were doing 35 mph on the road (which is the speed limit), using turning signals, and everything.  It was insane.  Those are the sort of things that make you lose faith in humanity.
