Every year on thanksgiving I like to take a little bit of time to reflect on things, think about what I am thankful for and tell lots of people how much they mean to me. Then, the next day, Buy Nothing Day as I like to call it I generally get bored as all get-out. Today was no exception. There were a few high points today. I emailed the Denver Post's pop music editor about what to do when the songs that you thought were going to be the theme song to the revolution when you were 15 are now being played on Alice 105.9, the lame middle aged divorced person trying to relate to their kids station. I wonder, are we now lame? Also, I am nearly done with my plep, my adolescent case study and my third practicum journal. I have hit a total road block with Kevin's paper. I don't even know where to start researching.
Those were the positive things I did today, lets take a look at the stuff I did this week that might make an outside observer think "Ben, what the hell." The first shameful think I did was watch 4 episodes of "My Super Sweet 16" on MTV. If you have not watched it before dont start, there are literally millions of better ways to pend your time. Every episode features some wealthy 15 year old girl who has spent most of her life being convinced that she is special by her parents. She whines for the first ten minutes before she inevitable presents her parents with some kind of ultimatum where her main threat is being really sad. She wins, new car, the end.
Besides that, tonight I spent the greater part of two hours sending Melanie pirate bombs on facebook. I totally kicked her ass. One time she attempted to dig up treasure to go and buy bombs but then I threw a bomb at her and stole 2000 gold coins with one bomb. If you are not a facebook pirate you should know, that is an assload of coins. Typically one bomb nets you about 50-100 pirate coins.
I also watched the CU-Nebraska game. That was super. While watching the game at my parents house I ate leftover thanksgiving food and hung out with my niece. I taught her that Cher is a Robot and Uncle Ben is a ninja. I have been working on these concepts with her for months. She is 2, so she will forget and have to be taught again that people who are her grandmas age do not have psychotically perky fisheye breasts, and they are not supposed to look surprised all the time. Also, Cher's neck kind of looks like Fat Bastards at the end of Goldmember where he pointed out that it looks like a certain lady part.
I also managed to get in trouble at the library today. I was listening to Guns N Roses while I was Plepping and I accidentally pulled my heaphone cord out of my laptop in the middle of one of the SHA NA NA NA KNEES during welcome to the jungle. The old hag who pushes the cart around with the books on tape gave me a dirty look and then proceeded to shoosh the crap out of me.
When I got home tonight I watched the end of Shrek the Third, 12 minutes of WWF wrestling, and about 30 minutes of Rocky IV before watching the Singing Bee with my Sister in Law. I did not know that the WWF has become the WWE. I googled it and found out that the World Wildlife Fund sued the WWF and made them change their name. I think it sounds stupid. Also, Rocky IV is the bomb. I still get upset every time Ivan Drako kills Apollo Creed in the ring and then try not to yack when Rocky gets upset and it goes back to the montage of Rocky and Apollo training on the beach in tighty whities or whatever. A little too homoerotic to me.
That was my night, what did you guys do today?
