There was once a triad of confidantes. These three pulchritudinous gentlemen were all very sagacious. However, their love life was troublous. These men were not schlubs nor schlocks, yet their effulgent attributes were seldom discerned. The vituperation these men received, due to their winsome personages, was nearly intolerable. However, one fine day these intellectually gifted men saw there opportunity to become decried. These vindicates envisioned an inventive vernal vendetta. The vade mecum vituperation from the viceroy validated the vex brought by the vociferates. The vitiation by the venerable enemies was validated as evil. The vendettan's veracious verbatum vindictively persuaded the masses to virgule the vexing vagrants.
I'm out of v things to say. But for those who read the VP is now the P and this guy is now the VP.

Loop holes
So blogger world, I have finally returned from my soma holiday. I should be writing a paper that is due tomorrow however instead I have decided to enlighten you with a few technicalities.
The conversation was sparked today about whether or not it was sinful to have "relations" with someone else's girlfriend. After a rather painstaking argument the conclusion was No, if fact God probably made these loop holes to encourage it. You are probably saying to yourself now, "Josh please explain." So I say "sure."
The first four commandments are pretty self explanatory. Have no God before me, Don't idol anything else, Don't use His name in vein, and remember the Sabbath. These 4 really have no bearing on the matter.
Honor thy mother and father: I would think parents would be proud of their child if they raised him well enough to win a girls heart over another guy. And if you bring home a nice girl they would be honored.
Thou shalt not murder: Well obviously you don't have to kill the guy to have "relations" with his girlfriend
Thou shalt not commit adultery: You aren't married so you're good to go.
Thou shalt not steal: Consider their relationship more of a lease, technically he doesn't own her so you aren't stealing her from him. And if it turns sour you can always give her back.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor: I'm not really sure what that means but if he takes you to court, just tell the truth, "I'm sorry I'm better than he is and that she wants me more, my bad." No false witness.
Do not covet your neighbors house: I don't want anything in his house, they are living together or anything and he isn't my neighbor, we don't live anywhere near each other.
Do not covet your neighbors wife: Well they obviously aren't married and again he isn't my neighbor.
So that pretty much covers the Ten Commandments and I think this is a pretty convincing argument.
P.S. T2 this blog is not intended for you in any way shape or form, it is an entirely different situation and meant to justify other interactions.

You just badassed him
Badass- b-aa-d azz (ed): (n) meaning to be tough or cool or not Dale. (v) to completely and utterly dominate someone's existence. To straight up own someone. Holy shit you just badassed that guy.
Speaking of badass, I am going to get my BadAss degree, because I am going to finish spanish this year, HOORAY.
So onto blogging. I forgot to make a shout out to The Good One in the last blog. He has been playing phenomenally lately and definitely deserves a spot in the blog. So keep up the good work.
This blog was going to be about colors but I have amended that decision to make it about people in general. I have realized people are weird. You honestly never know about people. Sometimes you think you know everything there is to know about someone just to find out there is soooo much more. Someone you have known for a long time can suddenly change. People are not always what they seem. The whole don't judge a book by its cover thing is definitely true. Also, I just realized that as hard as you try sometimes the person you want the most you just can't have. There are always obstacles to overcome. Sometimes these obstacles are tiny and one can easily hurdle them, while other times they are massive and seem impossible to jump. These obstacles test your true feelings. However, people are merely people. They are weird, corky, and unexplainable. People are different. Some people wear all their feelings on their sleeves others keep them bottled up so deep, so nobody would ever know how bad they hurt or how much they love. These are the people who this blog is intended for. I understand this isn't my usual blogging style but it seems relevant for the time. People change and sometimes it seems as if they change for the worst but other times they seem better off. It is how you perceive them that makes it so.
There is always a chance that someday (s)he will be there, and not just there but there to be with you. Sometimes the person you are looking for is right in front of you. Sometimes you settle for someone because it is easier than finding the person you need. Sometimes the person you want the most is just a friend.

What are friends for
So last night I passed the friend test in flying colors with the prodigy. He was supposed to meet this girl and unfortunately for me, this girl had a friend. So on the way home from Cincinnati I was made aware that I would be accompanying the friend that night. At first I said "absolutely not." However, after much persuasion I agreed to help him out and hang out with the friend. So long story short, after a very uncomfortable night with like 10 minutes of awkward sleep, I finally past the friend test and was able to leave and sleep in my own room until 3 in the afternoon. Yes it was an extremely awkward night and an even more awkward morning. No I didn't do anything with the friend, if thats what you are thinking. This night was a real downer for me because I was on a high after a very successful pitching performance on my part. Granted we were down 12-4 and it was the last inning so my actions didn't mean anything but I succeeded none the less. After the awkward night, the roommates and I decided to go golfing. I think I set a course record for worst round of golf in the history of mankind. It included 15 pathetic drives (on nine holes), me throwing my driver, not completing a hole out of frustration, and probably 10 lost balls. But seriously who wants to be good at golf anyways. So if the prodigy reads this blog, you're lucky that you're my friend otherwise this weekend would be almost unforgivable. There will definitely be a blog later on about something more interesting but this one is enough for now.
P.S. Thanks he who is to be named later for being there when I needed you, even though I didn't accept your offer.

Second Procrastination post of the night
One day this bear was chasing this squirrel through the woods. The squirrel turned the corner and ran into a golden lamp. When the bear came around he also tripped over the lamp and this time a genie popped out. The genie looked slightly confused and asked which of them had rubbed the lamp. After extensive argument the genie decided to give them both three wishes. The bear, being the bear said he would go first. He said, "I wish all the other bears in the world were females." The genie nodded his head and it was so. The squirrel quickly said, "I want a helmet." The genie looked confused but nodded his head and a helmet appeared. The bear then laughed and said "I want all the female bears to be constantly horny." The genie nodded his head and it was so. The squirrel said, "I want a moped." Again the genie looked confused but nodded his head and there appeared a moped. The bear then said "I want all the female bears to be straight that way they can only have sex and love me." The genie nodded his head once again and it was so. The squirrel then put on his helmet and started his moped and began driving away. When he was almost out of ear shot he yelled back, "I wish the bear was gay." Moral of the story: squirrels are smarter than bears.
The End
The End
Molybdenum
I've found the cure for everything in life and it is molybdenum. It is the 42 element on the periodic table and is classified as a metal similar to lead. It was discovered by Helman Hall in 1778. Check it outs, it's pretty sweet. I actually wrote an entire paper on old Mo in seventh grade if that tells you how good of a bullshitter I am.
I called in sick last night to the NBA, National Bloggers Association, so that is why there wasn't a post. Today's post is going to primarily random but I may come up with an actual theme sometime. First off, I found my opportunity to lead a revolution. RHA!!! It's the perfect organization to organize a coup. First off the VP wants to become the P and this guy wants to become the VP. However, there is mild discomfort in regards to the possible outcome of the elections. However, in all good revolutions the opposition is silenced. So all that need be done is silence those who oppose you and threaten your journey to greatness. Look at Stalin, it worked for him. So revolution and governmental uprising here I come.
Second on the list of blogger randomness is relationships. Recently two friends of mine were brought to the realization that there significant others had cheated on them. This has caused quite a ruckus. The atmospheric pressure and planetary movement has been all thrown off because of these happenings. But eventually everything will probably work out for the best. The girls were kind of bitches anyways. However, you can never be too careful because one of them had been going on for about 4 years.
Third and final topic for tonight: facebook. As if facebook weren't already the ultimate stalkers website they were kind enough to add a messenger on to it. If you hadn't noticed there is a little bar at the bottom of your facebook screen, if you click on the buddies icon you will be able to see every one of your friends that is on and talk to them. Very cool for those certain people who you don't know but want to say "I want to be on you" to.

French Onion Sun Chips
Today the unsponsored Spartan baseball team in action against the Helman sponsored Anderson Ravens. Luckily for Helman Hall, the Anderson Ravens dominated everything about the poor spartans. There was very little baseball actually played today by the Spartans. They showed up to the field in their nice white uniforms and proceeded to be demolished. The real excitement began after the game had concluded however. While in the locker room, several juniors made a few comments that angered several seniors. As soon as this fight reached its peak, a pitcher made a comment about hitting which was immediately rebutted by a comment from a hitter. So to make a long story short there is trouble in paradise with the Spartan baseball team and the absolute destruction handed to us by the Helman sponsored Ravens didn't help.
I would like to begin by saying that I am extremely disappointed in the VP for doing work the past couple nights. Maybe this is the VPs way of telling me that our relationship is over, but I will pretend that I didn't get the memo. Maybe I didn't get the memo because the VP hasn't talked to me in like a week. But I do appreciate the good night, it made my day.
International law says under Article 4 paragraph 3 section l in the UN Charter that "Dale is a bitch, so fuck off."
So anyways, tonight was a blast. The roommate, he who is to be named later, and myself spent a little over an hour driving around the country. It was awesome. Definitely better than doing homework. I was able to just relax and forget about the large amount of work that is due. I'm still looking for that revolutionary opportunity if you find one. Tomorrow I have this feeling that I am either going to be extremely happy or in a very bad mood so be wary.
I think I have wasted enough time with this useless blog. No quotes for tonight. Sorry

This blog is not about a revolution
So about revolutions. I recently heard a song titled "That was a crazy game of poker," by O.A.R. this song doesn't really have much at all to do with revolutions but there are a few lines that when sung separately can definitely motivate one to start a revolution. So listen to it and rebel against something, all the cool kids are doing it. Moving on.
It has always been somewhat of an hidden dream of mine to lead a revolution. And with my current major in history the idea of revolution is constantly put in my head. You have all those crazy uprisings in 1848, none succeeded however. Bismarck and Cavour in the unification of Germany and Italy in 1871. Lenin and Trotsky in Russia. All these people made there way into history by revolting or leading masses to follow their ideals. Unfortunately for me, the U.S. has a government that makes it incredibly hard to revolt against. There are too many measures in place to make sure such aggression does not escalate to the point of revolution. So governmental revolution is out, at least in the U.S. How about school? While Manchester does have its problems there doesn't seem to be enough to revolt against. I think maybe if I join a suppressed minority group then maybe there might be more opportunities for me. But for the most part school is out. I think that my future plans involve becoming fabulously wealthy and influential then uniting the masses and just seeing how far I can get before someone stops me. This may sound crazy but think about how many times in history that one person was able to single-handedly alter the course of world history. Unfortunately, only the worst of these come to peoples minds at first such as Hitler and Stalin. But think of great people like Winston Churchill, my absolute all-time hero. And others like George Washington and Napoleon. For the VP, yes I just compared George Washington and Napoleon. These people woke up one day and realized that something was wrong and decided it was their job to do something about it. Napoleon may have just wanted power, but he was one man who almost completely conquered Europe and had massive support to do so. Churchill united the world against the Axis power in WWII. Individuals are what is needed to change history. The masses will respond when there is one person who is strong enough or at least loud enough to get there attention. And I really want to lead a large revolution of some form. So if you hear of anything sparking up send me a comment and I'll try and jump into the executive seat. Not because I necessarily believe that I can lead the people, but primarily because I want to try. Oh and the bigger the revolution the better. Not quite WWIII style but maybe like nation wide civil rights rallies or something cool like that. Oh Martin Luther King Jr. he's another big one.

"A leader can see the way, is able to tell the way, and most importantly will lead the way." Something I just kind of made up but sounds really good.

National Holiday
I forgot to mention that today is national holiday, or should I say yesterday was. It was April 20 which means that is was 4/20. Which means that every pot head in the nation was stoned out of their minds yesterday. Pretty awesome day. Oh and Hitler was born yesterday which is kind of creepy but none the less true.
Peace out and keep rolling dawgs

Pretty People
Today the East Hall sponsored Manchester baseball team was in action today. Helman removed their sponsorship for this particular series and East was kind enough to pick us up, hoping that after baseball we would play for the softball team. The complete and utter domination of the team by Transy made it hard to walk after the raping ended. But luckily it was senior day so we all got to stay around afterwards and talk about the great seasons the seniors have had. But on to the topic at hand. Heaven.
No this isn't a religious blog for those of you who know me best, you know that I am pretty much anti-religion. Except for free Evangelicalism, that just sounds hot. After much thought and consideration I have come to the conclusion that heaven is probably like living inside the internet. Kind of like the Dave Chappelle show thing. It would be pretty much the perfect life. You would have an unlimited supply of anything you wanted. You would have knowledge of practically everything. And access to anything you desired. For instance, if you desired certain videos of a particular rating that is morally unacceptable here, you could live in one in the internet. If you wanted to go golfing then it would be easy to surf on over to say St. Andrews in Ireland and golf a couple rounds. You would have unlimited access to music and movies and any entertainment. Think of all that is available on the internet and think of how awesome that would be if it were heaven. There probably isn't any difference except for the big guy and people in white robes and angels and stuff. But except for that the internet would be the perfect heaven. Unless you get a virus and it fucks up your whole glorious afterlife. That would kind of suck. But it could be worse. Anyways it's something to think about.
"There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge." Bertrand Russell
"If you live to be a hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age." George Burns
"I wanna say something. I'm gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back. I want to be on you." Ron Burgundy

Confidence
The Helman sponsored Manchester baseball team played Transylvania in part of the Helman sponsored HCAC Conference. Unfortunately, due to many mistakes offensively, defensively, and from the pitching staff we lost both games today. The first game we very easily could have won, we were ahead 5-4 going into the last inning. However, the closer we brought in decided that he didn't want to win the game and gave up 2 runs. So we lost. In the second game we just didn't show up to play and got our asses kicked. We only lost 10-6 but we never had a chance of winning the game. So thats enough talking about the games.
So on to confidence. For those who know me, you know that I have always been a very confident person. Even if I have nothing to be confident about, I usually think I do. However, it seems like lately in baseball I have lost a lot of confidence. I haven't been throwing well and my arm is starting to hurt. It's almost aggravating. But hopefully this whole lack of confidence thing doesn't spill over into my personal life. What would it be like without a cocky/confident me? But anyways I think that is all thats on my mind now. Maybe I will have another blog that is up to the normal standards and not just me complaining.
"I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there the entire time." Anna Freud
"The man who has confidence in himself gains the confidence of others." Some person who I don't remember

RHA
One day at school this little boy comes in late and the teacher asks him, "where have you been?" "On top of Blueberry Hill," he exclaims. A little later another boy comes in and the teacher asks him "where have you been?" "On top of Blueberry Hill," he told her. Several minutes later two boys come into the classroom and the teacher asks, "boys why are you so late?" "Sorry, we were on top of Blueberry Hill." The teacher then asks, "Where is this Blueberry Hill and why are all my students late because of it?" Nobody answered but several of the boys laughed. At that moment a new girl walked into class and the teacher said, "Let me guess you were on top of Blueberry Hill?" The little girl blushed and said, "No ma'am I am Blueberry Hill."
So on to the topic of hills. They can be beautiful things. There are big hills and small hills. Round hills and pointy hills. Ones that look like pancakes and ones that look like bananas. Some times the size of the hill and really determine the rank of the total landscape. Other times the beauty of the surrounding landscape can out weigh the size of the hills. Every hill has its ups and downs though, haha get it. Big hills can be a ton of fun to play on top of or to slide in between of. However, they can be a lot of work to get up on top of. Small hills are easy to get over or on top of. But if the person playing on the hill is too big then they will not have much fun in between the hills. But small hills are still extremely fun. National Geographic hills can be fun to look at sometimes but others they
are just unpleasant. One of the most important aspects of a good hill is the peak. Some peaks are very large and colorful with a pointy thing on top. Other are small and light colored. Either one can be fun to play on top of. But really there is very little use for the hills. One can play on or around them. Climb up one side and roll down the other. Roll around in the valley they create. You can dream about hills and trust me we all do dream about hills. But hills are good. Even if there isn't much to those hills they are still good.

So on to the topic of hills. They can be beautiful things. There are big hills and small hills. Round hills and pointy hills. Ones that look like pancakes and ones that look like bananas. Some times the size of the hill and really determine the rank of the total landscape. Other times the beauty of the surrounding landscape can out weigh the size of the hills. Every hill has its ups and downs though, haha get it. Big hills can be a ton of fun to play on top of or to slide in between of. However, they can be a lot of work to get up on top of.

Heroes and money
Today I had the pleasure of going with Naked Dave and the roommate to Plymouth to eat with Naked Dave's parents. It's amazing how different Applebees is from the union. While we were in Plymouth, I got new golf gloves. Unfortunately, I got them after the roommate and I went golfing, where incidentally I shot one of the worst scores of my life and about killed a cocky little high school kid. It's a story I don't feel like blogging about but ask me about it if you really want to know. So on to the topics of the day.
First question, who is your hero? And what constitutes a hero? In all honesty my hero would be a tie between my mom and my grandpa. I chose my mom because she is extremely strong. She is always there for me and always has good advice. It was because of her that I am as observant as I am, somehow she always knows everything. The other hero of mine is my grandpa. Because I have never knew my father, my grandpa was that figure for me. He taught me pretty much everything. He is definitely the strongest person I know. I don't know why I blogged about this subject but it was on my mind and it's my blog so I can write about pretty much whatever I want.
The next subject is money. In Sociology today, we watched a video about the richest heirs in the world. Several of them only complained about how lonely or how hard it was to be a billionaire. However, never having the troubles of being a billionaire it seems like a pretty sweet life. Never to have any worries in life. Granted you are pretty much an outsider because not everyone is loaded, but I think the benefits greatly outnumber the costs. However, it would probably suck though to drive a Ferrari to high school and go to all the nicest private schools. One of the guys is actually probably my new hero, the V.P. probably knows who it is before I even say it. There was this young handsome billionaire who was looking for satisfaction so he went from pussy to buying things then back to pussy then to doing a hobby then back to pussy. That poor young man is just living the life. I almost feel sorry for him. But anyways it would be pretty awesome to inherit a billion dollars or even a million dollars would be fine.
P.S. For the only RHA member who reads this besides the roommate. Sorry we were late and sorry that Dale had to take our spots. Helman will resume it's dominance once again next week.

Groundhog Day
I want to begin with another Hall of Fame tp story. One of my best friends all through school was having his graduation party the next day. He was joining the Navy and would be gone for around 3 years. So T2 and myself decided the best way to say goodbye would be to tp his house after he and his parents spent all day cleaning up the yard and getting everything ready. So 60 or 70 some rolls later and a few smoke bombs and some powdered sugar and strawberry syrup on the cars we were done. The next day the party was a blast and he came up quietly and said, "Matt McCord tped my house last night, will you help me get him back?" My and T2 response was immediately "Of course." So he didn't know we did it until I wrote him a letter in boot camp telling him the truth, I mean what are friends for.
Now on to groundhogs day. For those of you who haven't seen the movie remove yourself from under the rock you have been living and watch it. It may be a little corny but it definitely has a message. If tomorrow was never going to come what would you do? Keep in mind that there is only so much that you can physically accomplish in one day. You can't travel very far, nor could you climb a mountain or swim the English Channel but there are certainly a lot of last minute things that I would want to do. First priority may be a threesome, that just sounds fun. I would tell those I care about exactly how I feel. I would not put on any clothes, except to tell my family I love them of course (that would be pretty awkward otherwise). But other than that I don't really know what I would do. Would I want to tell a girl that I really like the truth? Would I want to play one last baseball game? I really don't know. After strenuous research the number one answer was have sex, which is understandable. There would be no consequences. Others said they would spend time with their families. So after my threesome I would spend time with my family. Then just before the end I would have sex again. It's pretty much the perfect day. Oh I forgot I would go to an RHA meeting somewhere in there. Now that would be the perfect day.
A question that has bothered me for quite some time: "If you were to die tomorrow, would you have any regrets?"

High School Fun
Well friends of the blogging world, for those of you who do not read the roommates blog I would encourage you to do so, http://zjgreen.blogspot.com. The poem he refers too is just short of amazing. Anyways moving forward.
In high school, at least at Jay County High School, toiletpapering was a major trend. It was something to do on the weekend and made nights interesting. If you have never been toiletpapering I would highly encourage you to do so. The fun isn't in throwing the tp over trees or putting forks in the yard, or putting shaving cream in a condom and then putting the condom over the door handle. The fun is in almost getting caught. It's an adrenaline rush. Especially, if the person you are doing it to gets super pissed. Some of you may say that this is just meaningless vandalism or crass, but toiletpapering was so much more. It wasn't just a random thing. It was planned and strategically organized. There are two instances that come to mind that legitimize my claim.
One night a very large group of us were sitting at pizza hut after a football game when the idea to go tping was tossed down the table. Seeing an opportunity to step into the TP Hall of Fame, I took the reins and began planning for everyone. To my right was my best friend and to my left was chicken george. Well chicken george believed he was the best so I convinced him to take half of the guys and tp my best friend. Well he didn't know that I sent my best friend back to his house to catch them. For those of you who know T2, know that he is more than capable of handling a few unarmed guys. Part 3 of the plan consisted of me taking the remaining 8 guys or so and going to chicken georges house for the 3 straight weekend to tp him. Well with chicken george oblivious to his own downfall, we headed out. The plan worked amazingly. Chicken George's house looked as if it were in Siberia in the worst snow storm on record. Not a tree was left uncovered. When his mom came out and almost caught us made the adventure that much more exciting. However, the absolute best part was the phone call from chicken george exclaiming his untimely demise at the best friends house. Apparently, some car keys were stolen from the get away car and a BB gun with a laser pointer was involved (I told you he was capable of handling them haha). After the rendezvous at the high school he continued to express his utter dislike of the plan and continued to question my loyalty to the plan. I made up a story that we went somewhere else and got caught. So him being the ever untrustful chicken george questioned my source and attempted to legitimize it. To his misfortune, the alibi came through and my half was saved. This is just one of several times that guaranteed my name be placed in the Hall of Fame of Toiletpapering. I know I said I would share two events but the next one is longer yet, so I may save it for tomorrow or something.
Words of advice:
If you have never experienced the joy of toiletpapering, it is well worth it to try.
"When in doubt..."
and lastly just remember it could always be worse.

Ish All About Dominashion
So this weekend was pretty much the ideal weekend. Everything was almost perfect. Friday began with a concert (sponsored by Helman Hall), which was pretty good. Then a few guys from the band and the great Democrat came back to the room and lived it up MC style. The only bad part of this weekend was he is to be named later was unable to join in on the festivities but fortunately it all worked out in the end. Oh and I had to survive a baseball game in the freezing cold rain on 4 hours of sleep. But moving forward, the Helman sponsored Manchester Spartans beat the Anderson Ravens on a walk-off homer 3-2, tying the series 1-1. The second game was canceled and I got to go home for a few hours. The momma and I went shopping and got a few new things. A ninja mask for baseball, a golf club, and some food. Then I got my car which was being fixed and came back to Helman Hall and watched "No Country for Old Men" with the democrat, he who is to be named later, and the roommate. After another night of going to bed at 4 a.m., I slept in until 2 in the afternoon. However, the weekend wasn't perfect until only a few minutes ago when I got to talk to the V.P., even though it was only on AIM. So hopefully the week follows the weekend's example and continues with its perfectness.

"Fuck that rocket whore"
Oh the ever amazing language of halo. I am becoming quite fluent in this new language. Much more so than Spanish which I unfortunately have a test in tomorrow. The quote in the title was from the infamous Dale. Well todays blog is about the compliment of facebook stalking. And Hardee's spicy chicken sandwiches, and maybe a few other things, I'm not quite sure yet. First off, compliments are amazing. Especially when they are completely random they can really brighten your day. Whether its beginning an IM with "Hey beautiful" or telling someone they look nice in class. However, there is a large compliment they always goes unnoticed. Facebook stalking is a major compliment, sure it may be slightly creepy that someone can know everything about you. With todays networks one can see another's complete profile without even being there friend, so I've heard. However, it should be considered a compliment for you that people want to look at your facebook profile, unless its NateDawg, then its creepy. But its almost the same as saying "hey I think you are good-looking" or "you are a very nice person and I want to get to know you better" or maybe "I want to be on you." Facebook stalking or should I say facebook complimenting is a rarely noticed compliment to you.
Spicy chicken sandwiches from Hardees are awesome at midnight.
Christmas shirts are comfortable.
Well I know this blog isn't the greatest but follow the link and it will definitely boost your spirits.

Blowjobs and hand grenades
Wow what a spectacular title. Well to begin with your Helman sponsored Manchester Spartans went to Notre Dame today and got touched inappropriately (their catholic get it, haha sorry I had to). I missed RHA today which was horrible. It's like missing your last AA meeting and not finding out the true secret to getting sober and then getting picked up for a DUI one week later. You may not know the feeling but trust me it sucks. But completely unlike the sucking referred to in topic one of this blog. Which leads me into it.
NEVER TALK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL!!! It is absolutely, positively, for a matter of fact, indescribably disgusting. Honestly, take a bite of whatever and keep the beak closed. Or finish the job then complete the conversation. It's very rude otherwise. Now moving on, I have a test tomorrow and it is 12:30 and I haven't begun studying for it yet. Ouch! Talk about a real buzz kill. Now on to the next topic, hand grenades.
I have absolutely nothing at all to say about hand grenades. Except in our history discussion today one kind of creepy kid seemed to have a slightly scary knowledge of the strength it took to pull the pin of a grenade. I'm not sure why he knew this information but maybe he is like a secret agent who throw a lot of grenades at people. Which after practicing with a baseball I believe I could do quite proficiently.
So I think this concludes my blog for tonight. Tomorrows may be something actually meaningful and you may not feel more dumber after reading it. But to end on some peaceful advice, do unto others as you wish them to do unto you, unless you are bigger than them then do whatever you want cuz you are bigger than they are.
"She could suck a golf ball through a garden hose" Colin Denihan in a very loud voice in Notre Dames bullpen.
"Shit if she stood still long enough I would pee in her butt" I don't remember but some guy on the team as we were walking back to the vans.

Thoughts
Many of the blogs I read about have something to do with too many thoughts or too many concerns etc. Well I don't see the problem with so many thoughts. Thoughts of the future, thoughts about school, girls, life everything. Today instead of running for baseball, I took a nice casual walk, after I was out of coaches view. This may seem like I am a complete slacker but it may have been more beneficial. I just walked and thought. I thought about everything. And when you get a chance to just think about anything, your thoughts come out much more clear. They seem more like dreams than thoughts or responsibilities. Also, when I got back to my room I took a few minutes and just listened to music. The roommate let me have some of his music. Boys Like Girls is a very good choice if you want to just sit and think and dream. But if you get the chance to just walk by yourself or just sit and listen to music, it is good to just chill and relax.
Today I did something that is completely wrong and grotesque and very well may be illegal in some states, you guessed it I went to spanish lab. Usually a complete waste of an hour, which is why I have skipped every one of them this semester. However, I actually learned something this time. I may try it again someday. Yeah, what am I thinking thats just crazy talk. I think I am starting against Notre Dame tomorrow so there will either be a very happy blog or something along the lines of fuck the irish. I'm not really sure yet.
A few words of wisdom:
"It's not against the law if you don't get caught"
"Dale's mom's the man"

Life and realization
For as long as I can remember I have always had baseball to help me understand life. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, there are high points when you strike out their best hitter to end the inning and there are low points where their best hitter goes yard and you fall behind. However, lately these feelings have not been the same. I have not seen baseball the same as I always have, until today. Today I threw a bullpen and lost all my thoughts. I had been struggling with accuracy and velocity and movement, the whole she-bang, but today something just clicked. I stopped thinking. I stopped worrying about strikes and everything and just threw. It was probably the best bullpen I've thrown in a very long time. However, this blog isn't merely about the throwing part but the intellectual part. I came to the conclusion that everything always works out in the end. I didn't know if I was wasting time with baseball or not and now I realize that baseball is what gives me release. It lets me escape my body and mind for that split second as I wind up and throw. Many of you probably wouldn't understand this but its something that is unexplainable. While throwing I began thinking that everything will be alright. I began thinking about the future and what I really want. The question kept coming up of what is in store for me? There were so many thoughts and options running through my head, when I realized that it will work itself out. I don't have to worry about taking the right or wrong path now. Now I can just live and do what I want. When the time comes to choose the path for me, I will know which way to take. Life is just one adventure after another, don't start the next until this one is finished.
"Don't take life to seriously, you'll never get out alive."
"Life is something that everyone should try at least once"
P.S. Hope this helps you as it did me.

Men vs. Women
My original blog was deleted to begin this topic of advise. Keep in mind that this does not come completely from my own mind there were outside sources who helped with the information and all comments will be excepted.
First, advice and knowledge for men primarily from She who is to be named later. The most important thing, Women think about sex too. They are horny and get horny just like men. When you go out on dates, you are not the only one who is looking forward to getting back to the room to fool around. Another thing to keep in mind is women are just humans too, they don't have powers to read your mind. While it definitely seems like it sometimes, they don't always know what you are thinking. Women don't like cocky men. Granted we are pretty awesome but wait until after you get to know them to show them how you can balance your bicycle on your chin (John Rocker) or how many push-ups you can do in a minute. Another very important thing is women try very hard to look good, while some have an easier job than others, they all still try. So, men should try at least a little to look good. While some men like His Sirness can look good no matter what, others like myself must take the initiative to improve our looks (non cockyness coming out in case you were paying attention). However, it would probably be better for the men reading this to not look good that way the rest of us have a better chance, just a side note. I may write more on this subject later, but for the most part is women are just women, don't be afraid to talk to them, unfortunately most women know that guys are intimidated by girls and the whole awkwardness of talking and screwing up your words seems "sweet" to them.
Now for women. Men are always horny, doesn't matter who the guy is or where he is from all guys are horny. Some girls seem to always walk around as if they are goddesses, unfortunately for most men that is a turn off. If you act like you own the world it isn't very likely that you are going to attract a nice guy. Furthermore, probably the most common myth, women look sexy, extremely sexy in sweat pants and a t-shirt with no make-up on. You don't believe me but I know. An extremely important thing, DON'T PLAY GAMES. You may think it is fun and cute but it pisses us off. Seriously, just be honest and tell us. If you don't like us or if you don't want anything just tell us and we can all move on a lot faster. And maybe it's just me but the innocent look is much more attractive than the slutty or hooker look. If I have a girlfriend I don't mind know what panties or bra she is wearing but I don't want the entire campus knowing. Well I'm sure there is about another 20 blogs worth of information and maybe I will have a part II later but for now this is enough.

Now for women. Men are always horny, doesn't matter who the guy is or where he is from all guys are horny. Some girls seem to always walk around as if they are goddesses, unfortunately for most men that is a turn off. If you act like you own the world it isn't very likely that you are going to attract a nice guy. Furthermore, probably the most common myth, women look sexy, extremely sexy in sweat pants and a t-shirt with no make-up on. You don't believe me but I know. An extremely important thing, DON'T PLAY GAMES. You may think it is fun and cute but it pisses us off. Seriously, just be honest and tell us. If you don't like us or if you don't want anything just tell us and we can all move on a lot faster. And maybe it's just me but the innocent look is much more attractive than the slutty or hooker look. If I have a girlfriend I don't mind know what panties or bra she is wearing but I don't want the entire campus knowing. Well I'm sure there is about another 20 blogs worth of information and maybe I will have a part II later but for now this is enough.

Superpowers
To begin with I want to say that the Helman sponsored Manchester Spartans played the Franklin Gays in part of the Helman sponsored HCAC Conference. Unfortunately, your beloved spartans lost 2 out of 3. I think that is enough said on the subject.
The purpose of this blog is to discuss the ever important and controversial subject of superpowers. If you could have any superpower in the world, what would it be? There are many options to choose from. Do you want to teleport, read minds, x-ray vision, fly, be invisible, super human strength, the list goes on and on. They all have there purposes and I think they directly relate to peoples lives. Those who want to not be made fun of or just be alone, or are perverted want to be invisible. Those who are constantly thinking and trying to figure out the world, I believe will pick the ability to read minds. Before talking to he who is to be named later, I thought those people who are constantly put down and picked on would choose super human strength, but he is already a strong person and is definitely not picked on or beat up. Those who want to escape would probably choose to fly or teleport. However, there is always just the option of someone wants to be a badass and have powers. Charlie's choice was to read minds, but Charlie is also a very intellectual person so it fits. The roommate wants to fly which seems very boring to me. My personal choice would be between reading minds and teleporting. Teleporting seems awesome after watching Jumper. You could lead any life you wanted anywhere you wanted. No body could catch you or stop you. Reading minds would be great as well. You would always succeed. You could read what your opponents are thinking and then do the opposite. No more second guessing yourself. You wouldn't have to worry if she likes you or not, you could just read her mind and obviously for the people who read this she would always be thinking yes. Because only the coolest people read this blog. (Side note: Kansas cheerleaders are ugly) I think I've rambled too long though. Superpowers would be awesome.

The meaning of life
Have you ever thought about what your purpose or duty is here? It is a very complex question and one that probably doesn't have an answer. What is the purpose of life? I am not a religious person by any means. I believe in God but I feel the church and religion is not my thing. However, when talking about this subject one has trouble avoiding God and religion. Does God have a purpose for us here on earth? And if he does what is that purpose? Are there some people who are meant to be bums on the street and live a life of poverty? Or are these people rejecting their duties and responsibilities? Think about it. You are born, you grow up, you go to school, learn, graduate, get a job, have kids then inevitably you die. Where in this process is there something spectacular that God cannot do himself? Are we merely puppets for his amusement? Furthermore, this leads to the subject of are we alone in the universe? I say there is no possible way that we are alone. If that is the case are we just one part of Gods mission? Do we fulfill one piece of the pie and other civilizations fulfill the other? What is our purpose and meaning? If God needed humans, why did he need so many? Why are we created the way we are? I have been thinking that everything is going to lead to something. I am here because eventually I will do something or already have done something to make the universe better or different. However, if my only job is to inspire one person to do something great and change the world, what makes that one person so much more special than me? That may sound selfish but it is something to think about. You have lived your whole life thinking that you are number one in your world, however what if the entire purpose of your life is to smile at one person and after you smile at the one person you task is complete. It is hard to comprehend but it is something to think about. However, what if we do not have purposes? What if we only are born, live, then die? There is no purpose or no reason for our existence. God put us here and then left. I understand that I am asking more questions than giving insight but how can these questions be answered by me. What if the purpose of my entire life is to right this one blog and inspire one person and then my life mission is complete? What if your one purpose in life is to read this blog and become enlightened or something and then your life is complete? Does it end with you and me? If you were to die tomorrow would you have any regrets? Would your life be complete? Or would you have failed to accomplish the one thing in life that you were supposed to accomplish? These questions may seem dumb but all of them came to me in a dream while sleeping through fight club. Maybe this was my purpose. I hope that this doesn't create any problems with anyone, but I also hope that you don't pass up opportunities when they arise. The meaning and purpose of your life may be dependent on one little thing, or maybe nothing at all. Live life without regrets, it may not be here tomorrow.

Inspiration
After much thought and contemplation I have decided that blogging about my problems is in no helping my problems. To fix this problem I have made the executive decision to incorporate into my blogs inspirational or at least somewhat intellectual messages. Questions or subjects that really intrigue my faithful readers. I've had many good ideas come to me throughout the day and I think the one that creates the most controversy is the everlasting question of blondes, brunettes, or redheads? After much research the general conclusion may surprise some. However, the consensus will come later. I went from room to room and asked the same question: If you could choose between a blonde, brunette or a red-head which would you pick? Many had a response immediately and several made the claim that it depends on the mood or situation. I asked the roommates and Dale said probably brunette but I would say he is slightly incredible, reasons should be obvious. I don't want to name many names but reasons different colors vary. "Brown hair makes me think they're smarter," said Charlie. "Blondes taste better," anonymous person from room 208. "Red heads scare the shit out of me," some runner. And my personal favorite, "All three at the same time," the democrat. Anyways it seems that most people prefer primarily brunettes however it depends on their particular mood at the time. Blondes are fun but brunettes you marry. I also asked if eye color mattered. Many prefer light colored eyes. However, Sir Great Wild Erp pointed out that you close your eyes when you kiss so it doesn't really matter that much. Many preferred either blue or green or a combination of the two. Brown eyes were only chosen by 2 people and red heads were chosen by nobody. So sorry if there are any brown eyed red heads reading this, it is pretty much hopeless for you to ever find love. Personally, I like greenish-blue eyed brunettes. However, for those of you FEMALES who like tall, athletic, brunettes with green eyes I may know someone who is available.

Something to do
So I should be writing my source report for history right now but again I am neglecting to do so. I had plenty of opportunities to do this report over the weekend and monday night but put it off. So last night I thought "this couldn't take too long, I'll just do my international law first then my source report and I could be in bed by 3." Well at 3:15 I had just completed my int'l law homework and by 4 I had only 1 part of 9 done for my source report. (by the way it is kind of due today) But that is irrelevant. Now however, instead of frantically researching and writing my paper I am blogging. When in doubt, blog it out (these words are signature trade mark of josh atkinson inc. they are not to be used or distributed without expressed written consent of josh atkinson inc.). Sorry it popped into my head and as tired as I am I will probably say anything today. Speaking of saying the inappropriate thing at the worst possible time. Several of us baseball players were walking back to the locker room after the game (Spartan Baseball and HCAC Conference both sponsored by helman hall) and it came to the attention of a few of us that a certain freshman pitcher has an extremely hot sister, unfortunately she is 16. Well most of you know many of my witty statements that are meant to be heard only by certain ears. Unfortunately one of these grand comments fell upon the ears of a group of girls. Needless to say I felt very embarrassed but I played it off very cool, smiled at the girls and pretended as if nothing happened. I won't say the statement, mainly because Char reads this blog now, but for those of you who truly desire to know what was said leave me a comment and I will tell you. I think I've written enough to fulfill my procrastination addiction so I will end on a quote.
