Something that Irks Me

Hey peeps-

Sorry for the delay of blog posts. I had a little too much fun on Saturday. However, I am pretty sure no one missed them because no one besides myself reads this thing.

This post is going to be about one of my biggest pet peeves: the over usage of the term "rocks." As in, "man, that brunch rocks","I know...the eggs benedict rocked my face off," and so on and so forth. I started to think about this when I saw an ad on CBS for a show called "Fashion Rocks." The show is going to feature some hip hop acts, a couple of pop stars, and some country artists. NONE of whom ROCK.

What has become of this trend? It has even spawned other equally notable/awful terms. One that comes to mind is "rockstar" (i.e. "Man, she was a rockstar on that test today") I think that it is time that we, as Americans, take back some of our over used terms and keep them to ourselves. Only to let those words be exclaimed when something is truly awesome.

Thanks for reading this blog and you rock!

Drink of the Weekend

2008-09-04T22:48:00.002-05:00

Alright. My favorite team is the Arkansas Razorbacks. They pulled off a squeaker against no named Western Illinois. But, a win is a win. So, to honor my little Piggies, I am posting the drink of the weekend, which happens to be called an "Arkansas Razorback." Here is the recipe for the drink:
Ingredients:

* 1/2 shot Rum
* 1/2 shot Vodka
* 1/2 shot Amaretto
* 1/2 shot Kahlua

Mixing instructions:

Add all together in a mixing tin with ice, Shake to a froth, and strain off the ice into the glass.

If that doesn't make sense, here is a video I found on the internet to show you just exactly how it is made. Enjoy!

Life Enhancement

2008-09-03T09:53:00.004-05:00

So, I decided to come up with a certain format until people actually start reading this blog. I also do know that as of right now, I am probably the only person reading this. That doesn't really bother me too much. I mean, the thing has only been online for about 12 hours.

What I want to do is try to give some tips/tools to life enhancement. Whether it be funny videos, to awesome songs, I want to help you (the reader) get the most out of life. Some of it will probably be offensive. But, ask yourself, isn't having fun kind of like a football teams offense...always trying to score? I digress.

And now, I decided to post a classic video. Enjoy.

It Begins

2008-09-02T22:15:00.002-05:00

I don't know why I even wanted to start a blog. I didn't wake up one morning, my fingers itching to type article after article about issues that bothered me. Hell, I don't even read blogs.

Was it an excuse to go into the super hip places (i.e. Starbucks) and peck unmercifully at my laptop? Was it to post ground breaking, earth shattering news before major news stations (i.e. CNN) got to them? Was it to turn my nose up and look down at everyone else (i.e. normal people)?

No.

I just made a blog to post what I wanted to. From awesome music that deserves listening, to even my mom's recipes, to even the mundane (i.e. things that are happening in school). I want to post pictures of what I am doing, and what I have done, and what I will do.

I think I just want people to read my words, look at my pictures, and laugh at my mistakes at grammar. I think it would be awesome to have enough people reading this blog to come up with topics to discuss, music to recommend, and pictures to share.

I am almost positive it'll just be my friends reading this. But I hope more people will.
