Awkward

I woke up this morning feeling awkward. That's an awkward feeling to wake up to.

Remember when I said I was going to grow my mustache back? That happened. I feel good about it.

Shout out to my sister in tha Q-C! Happy 21st birthday!

I'm going to regret posting this...

Lil' Wayne = LOLZ

Plumage?

Every time I look at my profile picture over there I laugh. That mustache rules. I'm going to grow it back.

You know what else makes me laugh when I look at it?



So funny!

Being Great

It's finals week, and I should be studying, but I just gotta dish dis shit before I forget dis shit.

First, I just wanna say that I freakin love finals week. Everybody is freaking out all week about all the stuff they gotta do, and wonder why I don't freak out too. Child, please! Here's why I don't freak out:

What's the point?

Christmas break is so close! The weather has been beautiful this week! Some say cold, but I see sunshine and refreshment. Also, I've only got five classes this week, which averages to one per day, of course. That rules. I don't have to go to any boring lectures this week. I get to sleep in later than usual. No 8 am labs. I think the main thing is that tests don't bother me at all. I've always been a good test taker, and that helps. I've never been one to cram, I firmly believe that 8 hours of sleep will do you more good on tomorrow's test than a few more groggy hours studying. I also believe that you are better off (and this is true for all aspects of life) approaching things like tests confidently, rather than worrying about what you might not know. It really helps to slow your mind down when you get in there to take the test, and you just think a lot more clearly.

Chad Ochocinco is quickly becoming one of my favorite role models. I am 100% serious about this. If you guys Twitter at all, you should really follow him @OGOchoCinco. He also hosts a daily show called The OchoCinco Show, which you can find on ustream.com. He has generally been viewed in a negative light, but I'll tell you one thing: this guy has got his shit figured out. He is insanely dedicated to becoming the best he can be, but I love the upbeat confidence he approaches everything with. I've been trying to live by his words: be great. It doesn't matter what you do, just do it the greatest you can.

Today, for example, I was walking across campus, when I remembered "be great." How can you be great at walking across campus? Look forward, not at your shoes. Straighten your back. Don't scurry. Smile at people you pass. I did this today, and it's amazing how much of a difference it makes. I smiled at everyone that looked at me, and every single one of them smiled back. During finals week, no less!

I went to lunch, and thought "be great." How can you possibly be great at eating lunch? I'll tell you how: I ate the most balanced meal I've had all year. I had a plate full of peas for Christ's sake!

Now I'm sitting in my room studying. Every now and then, I feel a little unmotivated. Whenever this happens, all I need to do is look slightly to my left at my friend Kevin Garnett here being great, and that gets me going again.



In fact, looking at it now, I'm thinking I need to get back to the books if I'm to be properly prepared for my tests tomorrow and still get my 8 hours tonight.

I want to leave you with this 3 part series on YouTube about Chad Ochocinco. Watch it. He knows how to be great.

Anybody remember this Sony ad from awhile ago? If you don't, it's one of the most awesome things ever.

When I die,

I want my body turned into a fucking sword. <--- CLICK HERE!

No Homo.

-"Hey man, what's up?"
-"Oh, nothin' bro, just hangin' out in my singlet"
-"Cool! Mind if I come over and hang out in my singlet too?"
-"Yeah man! Oh, and hey, could you bring your laptop too, I want to show you my favorite, totally heterosexual, video ever!"
-"Yeah bro!"
...10 minutes later...
-"Hey bro! Nice laptop!"
-"Thanks man! It's super thin!"
-"I know man! Try putting it in my butt crack! I bet it fits!"
-"Huh?"
-"Dude, just try shoving your laptop up my ass! It's gonna be so sick!"
-"Umm...okay..."
-"Right on dude! It fits! Now try throwing it at my ass and I'll catch it between my cheeks!"
-"Umm..."
-"Dude! I caught it! This is so awesome! Let's call up our buddy Jeremy and see if he wants to hang out in a singlet too!"
-"Yeah! And then we could make a video of insane things like me throwing my laptop at your ass and you making all these totally sick catches while we all wear singlets, and then post it on the internet and all the girls will date us!"
-"Yeah, because I'm not gay, are you?"

Stone Cold

I spent the night watching the entire fifth season of Entourage. So good.

Something else that's so good? The band Barcelona. And the song "Time to Pretend" by MGMT.

Something that's not so good? Jon Voight. I don't like him. Almost as much as I don't like this video (actually it's kind of funny how it crashes and burns around 2:10):

Over and out.

Where's Joakim?

It's been a few days since I last updated.  What have I been doing you ask?  Oh, only EVERYTHING THAT'S EVER BEEN AWESOME AND FUN AND EXCITING.  I've been mowin' lawns like Murphy Lee

...Collect so much grass po-po thinkin' we mow lawns...

Except kinda the opposite.  I actually do mow lawns and don't collect grass.  WEEeeeeeeeeeed.

Yeah.  Mowin' lawns, working at the Row, rollerblading, and doing ALL KINDS OF CRAZY/INSANE STUFF!

For example, last night (Friday night) I stayed up until TWELVE THIRTY!!  I know.  It was getting a little out of control.  I was going off the wallz playing cards with hot girls my dad and my sister.

I don't actually have much new media to share today.  I really haven't been perusing the internet as much the last few days.  Bruno came out yesterday though!  I really want to see it, even though I know it is going to be exactly as stupid as Borat.

I really didn't like Borat at all the first time I saw it, but it got funnier in subsequent viewings.  I don't actually remember most of it now.  I just remember the way he talks to the gypsies at the yard sale is funny as hell.  As far as I can tell, the premise of Bruno isn't quite as good as Borat's, but I believe in Sasha Baron Cohen and his ability to make me laugh those cheap, shameful laughs.

Speaking of cheap laughs, here is Reh Dogg with "Why Must I Cry?"  Laugh away you assholes.  Laugh like I did at his sincere attempts to make heartfelt music.

Did you see Joakim Noah??

That's all for this post guys and gals!

McDonald's McConfusing McAd Department

I have long said that McDonalds has the single worst ad department in the history of ad departments (try staying at that link for more than 5 minutes without killing yourself). I have never seen an effective or remotely decent McDonald's ad. Here's a few gems to give you an idea of what I'm talking about:

But I just stumbled across this one, and I must say that I'm pretty impressed.   They planted lettuce on a billboard in Chicago to advertise their fresh salads.  Congratulations, McDonalds, you only mostly suck.

I've started liking the Smashing Pumpkins quite a bit.  Is that weird?  If Billy Corgan had a slightly less grungy voice, these guys (and girl) would be gold in my book.  

<--I wish you sounded a little different.
