La La La Do Dum Dee

In order to broaden the horizons of this project to more unnecessary lengths of non-classification, i've decided to turn this thing into partly a music blog, as that was part of our original idea. Plus, i might even get to break some copyright law in the process.


Bernice's music for the evening of february the thirteenth in the year of our lord two thousand eight.

Vampire Weekend - M79.

This song is pretty bitchin'. Vampire Weekend is officially my flavour of the week, and by that i mean i am about three weeks behind the people with real music blogs who matter, and think themselves to be cooler than us.
tells me what ya think

B.

Deadhead Deisel.

so as some of you might know, i have a not too healthy love affair with one mister shaquille o'neal.
this is true to the point where i once came in second at a public speaking tournament held at york university after talking entirely about shaq.
keeping in mind the big aristotle's recent decline in play, i still think our favourite legally obese black man (sorry fat albert, you dont exist.) will eat more babies (in a basketball sense, meaning ownage) for the rest of this year.

so peep this, i just saw it myself.



so. thats what bill walton thinks.
but here we are. lets talk about envy and jealousy in sports, as theres clearly some of both going on right there from each side.
is walton only saying that only for controversy?
why does this make sports so fascinating?
should stars take these things personally?
is there really a big man code?

This is becoming a problem

I'm standing in Arts with a class in four minutes, shuffling back and forth 'cause I really need to pee, and instead of peeing I'm checking this crazy blog for new comments.

My class is an hour and a half long. I probably won't make it.

Just thought you guys should know.

(If I had more time and was in a different kind of mood I'd write a real post about the implications of a desperate need to read the inspired ramblings of people I was sitting with 20 minutes ago. Some kinda neo-Luddite thing probably.)

Knock It Before You Try It

I am constantly being told, "don't knock it till you try it," or "just try it, you might like it." Most often my one particular friend who I think does this more to annoy me than for my own good (*cough cough* Bernice). And in general, this is proabably a good idea...you know, personal growth and blah blah blah. However, as I finsihed off my third cup of coffee today (in under an hour...not by best idea) I realised that trying new things is not always a good idea.

As I placed my mug back on the table (of course checking to make sure there wasn't a drop left) I remembered back to my first coffee. I was eight. I was with my dad and his friend at second cup, they were downing chocolate chillers to see who could go the longest without getting a brain freeze...clearly they were bored at work and neither are that bright. My dad quickly lost...hes kind of a pansy, and handed me the rest of his drink. I looked at it and handed it back to him and in my snotty kid way said, "why the hell are you giving this to me?" (yes I started swearing when I was eight too) He said, "try it." I said "no, I don't like coffee" He said common. I, again, said no. This went on for a while, (we are very stubborn people) eventually he yelled, "how do you know you don't like it if you have never tried it?" "Fine!" So I tried it, and ever since that day I have lost a signifiant portion of my money to coffee of all forms. Hot, iced, flavoured, black, little milk, red eyes etc.

So all I'm saying, is maybe, sometimes, its ok to knock it before you try it, so you don't end up unable to study cause your shaking from too much coffee intake.
