So I know that the banner on top of my blog says "posts at least once daily", but I am thinking that this is going to need a serious change. I don't know if it is because of laziness or business, but I am having a hard time keeping up with the whole daily post thing. It is felling like a weekly thing these days. I think the blow is softened by the fact that I actually have interesting things to write about in these weekly posts, instead of the pointless rambles of the past. Ok no more business.
I am talking about that weird feeling. I have been in this place for about one month. Not a very long stretch of time, and it feels like eternity. Making those real serious life long friends apparently. I had to have a discussion about the ethics of Biofuel, and it's affects on farming. I had an unfair disadvantage because all the kids who disagreed with me lived on farms. Not fair!
Wisconsin is a pretty different place. One night a few of us were hanging out in the "dormitory" discussing our musical interests. In a room full of ten people I loudly announced: "Who here likes Mac Dre?" I stood before a room full of blank stares and one: "What is a Mac Dre?". That was mind boggeling to me. I mean I am not a huge fan of Mac Dre, but seriously? It's Mac Dre.....
I feel like my History of Science class is making me a less intelligent person, and a more intelligent person simultaneously. The whole idea of the class is to pull ourselves out of the knowledge base of 2011 and immerse ourselves in the "science" of the ancients. So basically I'm an ace when it comes to ancient cosmology and natural philosophy. But if someone asked me about the solar system as we know it; I would quickly make a fool of myself. The whole concentric circles of the celestial realm idea doesn't really hold up so well.
I have a new found respect for BMX biking. BMX biker's always seemed to me like the biggest tools ever. Riding a bike is something everyone knows how to do. They don't help their cause by being (for the most part) rude assholes. All that changed when I met Dean Larson. Kid is a straight up badass. He is pretty much my 3rd roommate. He is a BMX biker, and gave me the rare opportunity to make a fool of my self on a BMX bike. That shit is not easy... Deanasuar makes it look easy though.
It is so awesome to have a whole new group of people to share all your the funny youtube videos and inside jokes with. I dropped a serous awesome bomb with Turtle Man. The rebel call ("YEEE YEEE") was a big hit with the Turner house gang. I am still working on Trailer Park Boys, I guess it is an acquired taste.
In closing, I hereby dedicate this blog post to the people in Wall Street. If you don't know what I am talking about, google Occupy Wall street. The big "media" has done it's best to keep the coverage to a minimum. Not saying I agree with them, but mad "props" to them for protesting for what they believe in.
