This is Something

If only I lived in a world without left handed people. If I did then everything would be allllllllllll right! Ha! Get it? “All right” as in no one would use their left han- Okay I’m done.

On the subject of the world, I’m sure you all agree that the world is a crazy place. You got people killing people at the same time as people helping people. Then there’s those volcanoes man, frackin volcanoes. Who came up with that right? They look like giant earth pimples. If I could have the super power of making hot volcanic rock shoot out of my pimples, I probably wouldn’t want it.

What did you just read? It doesn’t matter! And now for something completely different:

Is that a smile I see? :D

Narwhals Are Real

Recently I entered a conversation in which I discussed Narwhal’s. You know, those whale things with ivory horns that maraud all about the ocean, causing a commotion… Okay If you haven’t seen this video, you haven’t been on the internet long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykwqXuMPsoc Watch this and then continue reading. GOOD! Now that you’ve had a pretty awesome musical education, you might be wondering why I am talking about this in the first place, and so back to my conversation. The person whom I was discussing these creatures with was convinced that these creatures were mythical beast that didn’t exist in real life. I was baffled by this ignorance, after convincing him that they were real I took to the internet and found the subject highly debated. So now I take it upon myself to tell you all that the Narwhal is very real. I have for you hear an excerpt from national Geographic to explain the details:

  The narwhal is the unicorn of the sea, a pale-colored porpoise found in Arctic coastal waters and rivers. These legendary animals have two teeth. In males, the more prominent tooth grows into a sword like, spiral tusk up to 8.8 feet (2.7 meters) long. The ivory tusk tooth grows right through the narwhal's upper lip. Scientists are not certain of the tusk's purpose, but some believe it is prominent in mating rituals, perhaps used to impress females or to battle rival suitors. Females sometimes grow a small tusk of their own, but it does not become as prominent as the male's. Narwhals are related to bottlenose dolphins, belugas, harbor porpoises, and orcas. Like some other porpoises, they travel in groups and feed on fish, shrimp, squid, and other aquatic fare. They are often sighted swimming in groups of 15 to 20, but gatherings of hundreds—or even several thousand—narwhals have been reported. Sometimes these groups become trapped by shifting pack ice and fall victim to Inuit hunters, polar bears, or walruses. Inuit people hunt the narwhal for their long tusks and their skin, an important source of vitamin C in the traditional Arctic diet.

ANNNNNNNNNNNNND NOW YOU KNOW :D Now go do something useful.

Sneaker Heads

Now I know people can get really into a lot of things, but I never knew much about this massive Sneakerhead culture that exists until today.  My roommate who is a self proclaimed Sneakerhead took me to a convention for such people today and it was pretty astonishing to see the massive amount of interest and dedication to the culture.  They did this thing called a sneaker battle where two people would pull out a fresh pair of shoes one after the other, and whichever pair the crowd cheered for the most that pairs owner would win the battle.  There were about 8 contenders and the winner won a giant obnoxious belt that said something like Sneaker champion.  The winner of the entire thing pulled out the light up shoes from Back to the Future and I must say they looked incredible.

Yes I know what you are thinking.  Joe you ignorant F*ck.  You are right. Here have some stars :D *******************************************************************************

Something Like This

The NSA Stole My Bike

Within a 30 minute gap of being away from my bike it got stolen.  I kicked myself for not getting a lock yet, then hunted ferociously around campus thinking to myself about all the terrible things I would do to the person if I found them.  I found the bike eventually with some help but not the person. Whoever it was left it on it's side in front of a building with it's back tire popped.  Happy ending I guess

Looking back on it I would probably not have "messed this person up."  By looking back I mean looking at my arms and how damn lanky they are.  I have to watch out that anger I guess.  I Was so consumed in in my rage I almost submitted to the evil  order of the Sith.  I wonder what my "Darth name" would be (like "Darth" Vader or Darth Maul if you don't get it)?

Second order of business. I call upon you  Murica!  We must stop the NSA and all there NSA..ness.  Go to this site and help be apart of the process now! https://call.stopwatching.us/ (link here)  My parents worked to damn hard for these freedoms.  Making a call isn't that hard.  I'm pretty convinced that someone from the NSA heard me on the phone saying I brought my bike that day and waited until I left to steal it.  It's a conspiracy!  

Seriously do it though.

Lastly, on a musical note, the battle between Kanye, Mac Miller, and J Cole still rages on sales wise.  GO J COLE!

Poetry and Basketball

Recently I have been listening to a lot of poetry in my car such as  T.S. Elliot, Walt Whitman, Allan Ginsberg, Sylvia Plath, and a whole lot more.  I suggest it as an alternative to listening to music all the time.  As strange as it sounds it's made me realize that i'm actually going somewhere on that trance like strip of gravel called a highway. Yup,  awareness is pretty cool...Moving on.

Basketball is my favorite sport 

I like the way they dribble up and down the court.

Well not really, but my Mom was in he WBL (old name for the WNBA) so I grew up around a lot of basketball.  I played plenty of sports as a kid, but somehow I ended up engrossed in English literature at a liberal arts school that doesn't care about sports in the slightest.  Everyone is a writer, dancer, or actor (or something affiliated with these departments) here and doesn't go to sports games.  There is just no support.  In fact I am certain only ten people from my school watched the Spurs vs Heat game tonight (let alone knew it was even on).

What I think I want to say is that there has always been a gap between the "artsy" people and the "jocks."  Our school caters to the arts.  Other schools cater to sports. That being said if you feel as though you can relate with one of these categories, don't let it decide who your friends are and who is worth your attention.  There's poetry to be found in basketball and many other sports as well.  Or at least I think so.
