The Five Types of Tweets

I've been on Twitter for a few years now, and far too much of my brain power goes into it. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know how frustrated and worked up I can get with the way people use Twitter. The fact is that not everyone acts how I want them to, which isn't wrong. In fact, the world is probably better that way. Not probably, definitely. Anyways, in this post I will attempt to classify all types of tweets into FIVE TWEET TYPES (TT's). It's up to you to determine if that's a boob reference. TT #1 - Status Updates: These...

We Can All Learn From Grinnell College

Last night a division three basketball player named Jack Taylor scored 138 points in a single basketball game. That sounds impressive. It sounds impressive because it is impressive - but maybe not quite as impressive as you may think. If you saw that headline and thought this wasn't a planned thing for even half a second, you should see a doctor. The whole system was designed to get this kid as many points as possible and make the news. It's not...

No Topic Tuesday... on a Wednesday

Apparently it's not Tuesday anymore. Most of my daily frustration comes from people's tweets - namely people with whom I attend college with. I have an honest question: has complaining about something in your life on Twitter ever made the bad situation anything but worse? It honestly bothers me when all I see from people is how much they like some girl/guy and they don't like them back, or how they want to do something but they can't, or just general talk about all the bad things in their life. I understand venting, but is social media really...

No Topic Tuesday

I've been itching to write in here again, but no big topic has come to mind in recent days, so I just now decided to create "No Topic Tuesday", in which I write blog posts that have no theme, point, meaning, or really any positive qualities whatsoever. Seriously I just thought of this after I opened the new post. I had a couple sentences written down which were total garbage then this brilliant sub-par idea came into my head. What's been frustrating me lately is how people can't spell. The problem with spelling these days is that everything is...

Senior Year Seminar

Eyes... ears... testicles... lungs... senior years. What are "things you only get two of for 800, Alex". So that was sort of opposite Jeopardy I guess... Anyways, senior year is like 3/8ths over and I realized that I haven't even offered my horribly destructive advice on the subject yet. Senior year is like the moonlanding. Freakin' Neil Armstrong went crazy his senior year. I heard that Armstrong got so drunk at a party that he tried to...

People Pleasing

Hurricane Sandy was a real bitch. Not only did she drown Atlantic City and knock over the Empire State Building, she screwed up all the emotions of people all around me. So everyone keeps telling me that it might not have been the rain that has been screwing with all of us as much as its been just the ups and downs of life and the confusion of youth and the changes of life. It's been a lot easier for me to just blame everything on the hurricane...

Election Week and Sandusky is Still Here

For every day that passes I get one day closer to leaving Waynesburg and embarking on the next chapter of my life. You can say the same thing for Jerry Sandusky, except that creep's next chapter is death. So that sucks. As you can tell it's taking me a little bit of time to get over the whole Sandusky thing. It's taking me even a longer time to get over the fact that like 2% of people in life are entertaining and relaxed about things. We're in college, where nothing really matters all that much and yet people are still up tight and scared of...

No Shaving and Breast Awareness

This post is about No Shave November and Breast Cancer Awareness, but the title had you thinking of other things, didn't it? "No Shave November" pisses me off. There are two reasons for that. Number one is that I once knew this kid who could grow hair like nobody's business, like this dude had hair coming out of his eyeballs - and this was all the time, not even just during months where he elected not to shave. So anyways, no shave November comes...
