bearded man

Today I have decided to blog about one of my friends and our often dumb escapades. I won't say his name, but you can easily guess who it is from the blog title. My friend often does very dumb things, not to say that he isn't one of the smartest people I know, but he often makes dumb decisions. I'll give a few examples.

My first story takes place over the course of finals last semester. Since it wasn't a regularly scheduled school day my bearded friend drove his car to school and parked it at meter close to Uni. After finals we were we decided to head over to McDonalds. My friend offered to drive since he had his car with him. When we got to his car he had a ticket on his window because he never thought to put money in the meter. Soon after noticing the ticket, we learned that he had also left his lights on. Of course his  car battery was now dead. At the time both of his parents were out of town so we had to ask another classmate of ours to help us jump the car. Of course my friend, not knowing how to jump a car, decided he would take the jumper cables and randomly attach them while no one was paying attention to him. After telling him not to connect the wrong poles, we heard a loud sound followed by a spray of sparks from the car battery. He had done what we told him not to do ad connected the wrong poles of the battery given himself a pretty bad shock. Eventually we were able to jump the car and we made it over to McDonalds.

Another more recent incident occurred when Iain and I went over to his house. When we arrived at his house we saw someone standing next to a tree. At first we thought it was some random girl, but then the person turned around and we immediately saw the beard. We broke out laughing. After noticing the car he charged at us car and pelted us with hershey's kisses. We learned that he was "hiding behind a tree". However, he assumed we were going to come in through the most ridiculous entrance to his house and was thus on the wrong side of the tree. When I got there I learned that he had been sleeping in his steam room at night instead of his room, which happens to also be a bomb shelter. After removing his pillow from the steam room we hung out and relaxed. After that we proceeded to hang out and attempt to "hunt" deer with airsoft guns. He decided since he didn't have a gun he would use two poles as legs and pretended to be a deer so that the deer to come over. Magically it worked.

My bearded friend is extremely funny, but at time does extremely dumb things. In fact I had trouble deciding which stories to use because there are so many. Tell me a funny story about one of your friends in the comments!

OH nO!!!

So recently I dropped my iPod on the ground getting out of my car. I  didn't care too much at the time I just picked it up and went inside. When I got in I tried to turn it on... it wouldn't start up. After a lot of trouble shooting with my iPod I finally gave up and accepted that yes my iPod was broken and with that no more music.


Just about every morning when I get up one of the first things I do is grab my iPod and start listening, I take a brake from it to take my shower and thats about it; my headphones don't come off until I get to school. When I get home the same thing happens. I put the headphones in and get to work studying, doing homework, or whatever.

Now I am facing a huge change. I no longer have my iPod in the morning, nothing to wake me up, nothing to shut me out from the rest of the world. As I sit writing this blog entry I can't help but long to be listening to one of my favorite songs on my iPod. I always thought that listening to music while doing homework helped me concentrate and stay on task, but now that I haven't had it for a week I'm starting to notice a difference in my ability to get work done. For our recent history test I spent about half the time I usually spend studying and I felt that I may have done even better than I typically do. Maybe my iPod breaking was a good thing for me since it might make me work in a slightly more efficient manner.
However I do wish I had my iPod back than I wish it was broken. Hopefully I can get a replacement soon.

I like food. Food is good. When I am hungry I eat food.
