Music Blog

So we all have run out of stuff to write about, so I figured I'd write about the only thing I really care about: music. I have found so much great music at college, I pooled my music with four of my friends and it's opened me up to not only new artists, but new genres altogether. My favorites used to be John Mayer and Death Cab, but it's shifted to Biggie Smalls, Tupac, Nas, B.o.B, Dre, J. Cole, and Eminem since the beginning of the year. I didn't have a terrible childhood or any serious problems like they talk about, but their lyrics are so vivid and accessible to anyone. Nobody who loves their mom can avoid getting chills when listening to Dear Mama by Tupac. Also, I encourage you three (at most) that are going to look at this blog to listen to this song. http://www.prefixmag.com/media/sage-francis/the-best-of-times-prefix-premiere/39561/
It's amazing.

I saw N.E.R.D and Wale in concert at Burruss Thursday night. It was pretty good, nothing amazing. I really liked that Wale broke the rules and walked around Burruss instead of staying on stage. The lead singer of N.E.R.D. (Pharrell) was kind of a creeper. He was talking about all the girls and talking about weird things. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy but I felt like he was being a little horndog.

Also, I took an shower from midnight to 1am. I feel proud.

NOT PROCRASTING BLOG!!!

We interrupt your internet surfing to bring you this important message! Eric Lord is not procrastinating on his blog!!! We now return you to your previous activity.

This has been a somewhat fun week, even though I'm pretty stressed. I wrote a rap song about breast cancer for a sorority philanthropy, then performed it at DP Dough. That was really fun, I had my 5 minutes of fame! The video should be up on facebook soon, although I won't know. I deactivated my facebook for exactly one month, mainly to see if I can do it, and also I think it'll help my schoolwork especially at exams.

Some good news: I got a 16/18 on my linear algebra exam, which is great! It's a month until summer, where I can make money, get a tan, not study for anything, and not have to pay for anything!

I saw on the news that doctors removed a live bullet from a skull. I'm not sure how it was "live" but apparently it was really dangerous and pretty much never done before. So that was cool. Also, an author just released "adult material" for blind people! It has pictures, and dirty braille. I thought that was awesome.

I have nothing else to say really. Oh! I was excited to watch ESPN and have soccer be more prominent than baseball. It was a great thing to see! Okay, bye bye now.

Blog Poem

A man was walking, observing people around him
He would watch their movements, study their actions.
This man was harmless, but felt like a pig.
When he connected eyes with some little kid.
So he took his coke-bottles, and bought some black dye.
Soaked them for hours, and set them to dry.
Went out in public and started looking around.
There was no eye contact cause his eyes can’t be found.
People approached him about his new style,
He told them lies about his sensitive eyes.
And after a while, his invention caught on
Sunglasses were worn by mother father and son.

Blog # I'm Done Numbering

This week has been quite depressing... I got a 40 on a calculus test and a 30 on a physics test. In the Physics test, the average was a 55 so I don't feel as bad, but still pretty bad. I realized that I'm very addicted to technology. My phone was dead for a long time and I felt naked. Also, I haven't been on facebook in a long time so I felt good that I had gotten away from it but now that I'm bored again I'm back on it. I bring my iPod, phone, and laptop pretty much everywhere and I'm beginning to think it's unhealthy. I also came to the realization that my procrastination makes blog commenting for you guys alot harder. Sorry about that! I haven't commented on anybody's in a while so it doesn't affect me. I should probably get back to doing that. Everyone knows about senioritus? I feel like I'm getting it a semester or two later. It's not a good time to get it, at all. Next semester will definitely be a GPA booster with absolutely no math in it. How people pass math here, especially with a good grade, blows my mind. Anything not math related I'm getting great grades in but I just can't handle the maths. Oh well, I guess that's why I'm not an engineer right?

Procrastination. I am the worst procrastinater in the world! I'm starting this fifteen minutes before it's due, all while trying to do my physics homework which is also due in fifteen minutes. I took a 5 hour nap today because I was up late because I procrastinated on the homework that was due today! What the heck is wrong with me? Who can't just due homework a reasonable time before it's due? It's things like this that make me question how I got in to college. Thank god for SAT scores, right? In other news, my March Madness bracket is sittin' pretty right now. Which is an amazing feat that not many people have pulled off this year. Even though WVU was our rival a while back, I'm really pulling for them this year. Something that bothers me is the political correctness of America. I'm so sick of having to walk on eggshells so I don't offend one person. If somebody wants to offend someone else, they will. Why should everyone have to censor themselves just because some guy called basketball players "nappy-headed". Nappy isn't even racist. My friend, who's white, has the nappiest hair I've ever seen. So I just think it's dumb. I'm not racist, sexist, or anything-ist, but I feel smothered by the PC of America. Phew, finished in four minutes! You've got to love fast typing.

Blog # I have no clue because I fell behind

Well it feels like it's been a month since I've last blogged...mainly because it has. This past month hasn't been too crazy or interesting, the only things that have happened are spring break and college basketball. Over spring break I played volleyball and laid out in Miami, FL; that was amazing and I want to go back now! I went down with a couple of friends and my girlfriend was actually down there as well.

March is the best month of my life. It has the start of spring, and March Madness. The only sporting event that I love more is the World Cup. The only teams I'm rooting for anymore are Purdue and WVU (yes I know they were our rival); that's mainly because I have friends that go to those colleges.

On a more depressing topic, calculus is the worst thing ever. When the teacher talks, it's like a lullaby. I can't stay awake, and then have to ask my friends tutor me (which I hate doing). I just got a 40 on the last test. I always have "that class" that wrecks my GPA.

This past weekend, I went down to UVa because it was my girlfriend's "big sis week". Since it's the beginning of spring, there are a lot of day parties. I got to see a bunch of frat guys try to smash a fire extinguisher with a metal bat; they ended up shattering the metal bat and shards went flying. Dangerous? Yes. Hilarious? Yes.

My story:

Audience: Teenagers


Out in the middle of Montana, there was a warehouse in a field; everyone thought this warehouse was deserted. Little did they know, there was a dance party going on inside in which everyone was taking "special vitamins" and getting their daily dose of mushrooms. These "vitamins" and mushrooms made everyone extremely happy! Little did everyone know, this party was history in the making.

During this party there was a little girl named Helen Keller. She didn't have great eyesight or hearing, but she really enjoyed music; she was also very paranoid of getting injured. Helen decided to go to this rave, but made sure to wear protection like health class taught us to. And by protection, I mean she wore a football helmet to avoid head injuries. While she was dancing and taking her "vitamins", the captain of the football team, linebacker Hans Roflcopter, started making fun of her and smacking her helmet around.

Hans was not especially liked in the highschool because of his use of performance-enhancers. This made him stronger and angrier than a rhino who got just got fired from his job (probably because of the lack of apposable thumbs). Helen finally got sick of Hans taunting her, so she Zidane-style headbutted him square in the sternum, causing him to fall backwards onto the Kool-aid (courtesy of Jim Jones). Since he was so muscular, he had no fat to protect the blow, resulting in several broken ribs. He was rushed to the hospital and was later indicted for his use of performance-enhancers.

Helen became a school legend and the helmet is now mounted in their wall of fame; their highschool was terrible at sports so they had a lot of room.
