Bored as shit in Philosophy Class

Yea the title basically says it all... right now I am so bored that I can either A) inject myself with a lethal dose of poison... B) stick a gun down my throat and pull the trigger... C) write another blog. As tempting as A & B sound right now, I think ill do a little blogging. Right now my professor is screaming about the political impact John Rawls had in the state of nature, god I think I fell asleep twice while writing that sentence. Anyway, time to give out a huntin' award, and drop a fun fact or two.

I was like BITCH, get me a turkey sandwich and some huntin' guns, FO FREE:

First I would like to congratulate my good friend Jon "turkey hunter" Brauer for finally killing something other than time on his huntin' trips. After numerous attempts, and after several straight mornings of waking up at 4:30 AM, he has finally killed a turkey. It looks like I am going to have to step up my game now and blow the brains out of a squirrel or something to stay even with Brauer's pace of one dead animal per year. All this drama of turkey huntin' comes just days after Brauer led his hunting troops into battle against the mean wildlife our world has to offer. The huntin' buddies went out to the middle of basically nowhere in a first class log cabin complete with a jacuzzi, a plasma screen TV, and a refrigerator full of deer meat. Not only was this probably the softest cabin this side of the Mississippi, but they also spent two days huntin' and never even saw an animal. How these guys can go out into the wilderness day after day and get excitement out of finding nothing is beyond me. I will give them credit for staying committed though, i know i never would be able to give such a commitment, even if they do have to wear fury little pants to do so. So if anyone sees Mr. Brauer around campus, be sure to congratulate this man for finally ending the life of a poor innocent turkey. Gobble, Gobble, people...Gobble, Gobble!

One Shining Moment scores a touchdown?:

Im sure that by now everyone is familiar with the annual playing of the "One Shining Moment" theme song that plays each year at the end of the NCAA basketball title game for the respective Champion. However, how many people knew that this legendary song was actually never intended to be played for basketball. In fact, the song was originally supposed to air at the end of the 1987 Superbowl between the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos, but the game ran long and CBS never got the chance to play the song. Two months later, the song debuted for the 1987 NCAA tournament which saluted the Indiana Hoosiers on winning the NCAA Championship that year. The songs first line was changed from "the ball is kicked" to "the ball is tipped" to accommodate the switch from football to basketball. I would be foolish if I didnt give credit to one of my good friends, Armen Keteyian, for suggesting that CBS aired the song. Armen is a sideline/on-court reporter for CBS and should have gotten a massive raise for suggesting this idea.

The original version of the song was written by another one of my good friends, David Barrett. In 1997, CBS tried an alternate version of the song by Teddy Pendergrass. However this song got a ''horrible response'' and im pretty sure Pendergrass was exiled from the country, brutally stabbed to death, and eaten by angry polar bears for trying to ruin America's favorite song. In 2003, when the Syracuse Orangemen won the National Championship, CBS changed singers and gave "One Shining Moment" a new look. Luther Vandross, who had been to only one basketball game in his life, was the new singer, and the video didn't have any special effects like glowing basketballs and star trails like it did in previous years. Each year, David Barrett receives around $50,000 from CBS to use his song after the NCAA title game. Maybe I need to go into song writing and make $50,000 to hear one of my songs air for 3 minutes per year.

More mentionable fun facts:

1. It has been studied and proven that left-handed women have a 70% greater risk of dying from cancer and a 30% greater risk of dying from a circulatory disease. QUE LASTIMA lefty women

2. The Chicago Bulls recently avoided being swept by the Pistons last Sunday, improving their streak to 29 straight series without being swept. The Boston Celtics hold the all-time record with 46 straight series without being swept. Some white guy with a moustache may have had something to do with that streak.

3. It appears that half the city of Poland is coming down to Athens this weekend, with 50% having no clue where they are sleeping. Considering I like only about 2 or 3 of the people coming...it looks like some people are gonna be SLEEPIN ON DA STREET....
