Blog 5

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.

Eric's blog 4 or 5?

So I've had a pretty packed week, but it's either boring stuff or stuff I shouldn't talk about. I'll be (hopefully) pledging the fraternity Delta Upsilon and I've spent most of my week with them just hanging out and whatnot. I went to the UVa basketball game, my first one of the season, and it was awesome! I was right below the band with a couple of the DU brothers, screaming our heads off. Afterwards, I got to talk smack to my girlfriend who goes to UVa all night; that might've been better than the actual win! That set the mood for an awesome night of which I probably shouldn't go into too much detail.
On a sadder note, my computer is STILL NOT FIXED. Which makes me want to smack every customer service representative so hard, their headset flies off. Thankfully there is one person out there who is competent and did what they needed to, so now it SHOULD be working by wednesday or thursday... SHOULD be working...
Also, Valentines day is stupid. Just saying. It's an excuse for couples to flaunt it, single people to sulk, and hallmark to make money. I had to stay at VT because of rush stuff, but I originally planned to go back to UVa to see Kristen, my girlfriend. For good reason, she was upset. But sometimes it goes from understandable to annoying. It's just one out of 365 days a year, why does it have to be so hyped up?

Eric's Blog 3

As I'm sitting in the tenth layer of hell, also known as the empo, I realize how necessary a laptop is in today's world. It's been an uphill battle in school since it's broken, and only getting more difficult. I also noticed how much time I have free when I'm not on websites like TFLN and Facebook and FML and MLIA. So it's kind of bittersweet.
As everyone knows, the Superbowl was last night. I'm not a huge fan of either team, but I was pulling for the Saints. My friend, a die-hard Colts fan, was absolutely crushed last night. I was suprised at his reaction, because he's normally a very calm guy and doesn't let anything bother him or make him angry. It's amazing at how many people go crazy over sports, especially when many don't have strong connections to a team.
On a random note: if it snows any more, I'm transferring to University of Hawaii. I'm sick of wearing boots, having to clean off my car every time I want to drive. flooring it through a foot of snow to get in a parking spot, and then digging it out for 30 minutes to get out. Give it a rest already! And if I get snowed in for Valentines day, even old man winter won't be safe in his igloo or ice cavern or wherever he resides.
All of this snow makes me really excited for spring break. In exactly a month, I will be in south Florida, relaxing on the beach with some sort of refreshing beverage. Fishing, skimboarding, and obviously nothing illegal. I cannot wait!!!
