things that rock: day 17

day 17: drunk night storytelling

there is nothing better than sitting around with your buddies and playing back an entire evening and most importantly, filling in the blanks. recently, i have not laughed as hard as when we have run through the ridiculous happenings from the night prior. living with the 3 guys i live with now, i have decided we are hilarious individuals. and having only lived in the house we currently live in for a month, we have already created a years worth of hilarious drunk stories. the bonus is when you have to back track, starting from where you woke up and having your friends help you piece together the random flashes of things you remember. amazing AND so funny. definitely why sunday mornings are hands down, the best time of the week.

special thanks goes out to jim beam, pinnacle vodka and the wonderful people at dan's cafe.

friday's random music video vol. XXV



the ready set - "love like woe"

things that rock: day 16

day 16: driving

i love the feel of the open road. its glorious. roll down the windows, open the sunroof and blast the tunes. now, i will admit that im a fast driver and sometimes can be quite aggressive. but its out of the pure love of driving and taking pleasure in getting somewhere quick! that and getting as far away from dumb drivers as possible.

something i have gotten into is making "cruisin' cds" to accompany every drive made. most recently, i have moved away from my typical pop punk rock songs and incorporated more towards indie dance rock like phoeniz and miike snow. a great soundtrack can take any mundane trip and make it awesome. spontaneous sing-a-longs and dance sessions in a car while driving become commonplace. not only that, but there is nothing better than pulling up alongside another car and getting them to dance along with you. happy finger pointing and fist pumping become the barometer of how awesome your trip is.

i love driving so much. to the gym, to the store, to move my car from one street to the next to avoid a ticket... its all money.

things that rock: day 15

day 15: midnight movies

get a bunch of friends together. go to a bar. pregame the movie. and then make it rain. and by make it rain, i obviously mean dont say a word and be as quiet as possible.

the best part is that you are the guy/guys/people who tell reason to take a hike and stay out until 330am when you have work the next day. damn right. fight the man. sleep is for the dead. you only live once and dammit, if i want to live with 3-D glasses on my face in an IMAX theatre taking down a bag of popcorn and slamming the largest soda the built-in cup holders can handle, then so be it. sorry you cant take it it. sorry you get sleepy at 9pm. enjoy being 80 years old in a 25 year old body. not me. im living life like its going out of style, one summer blockbuster at a time.



and yes, it never hurts to have your old student ID...
