Unimportant

Some updates…

I haven't updated in a while and some girl in Canada is upset. Screw her. I'll update when I feel like it.

In other news… I asked out the girl that lives across the hall in my apartment building a few days ago. I have always wondered, how well do you have to know a girl before you ask her out? All the girls I have asked out in the past, save for a few blind dates, I have known rather well. On the other hand, I haven't really asked out that many women indicating that possibly I need a new strategy. I know, I'll ask out girls I don't really know and get to know them later. Brilliant!

So I met this girl in my freshman year at Baylor and I thought at the time, "Man, she's cute and nice."

I saw her a few times since then and always came to the same conclusion.

I saw her a few months ago in a fancy black dress going to some party. On that night she was smokin' hot and nice.

So anyway, I did a few jumping jacks, pumped myself up, and went across the hall. I knocked on the door. "Come in!" someone yells from inside. I go in and see that she is in the kitchen with her roommates and one of their fiancés between us. This is awkward. I am not asking her out for the first time in front of her roommates.

"Umm, I was wondering if I could see you outside for a moment."

"Yeah, sure…," she replied. Outside, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Nothing was wrong, of course. So I asked her what she was doing the next day and upon hearing that she wasn't doing anything, I asked her to go to dinner with me. She then explained that while she would really like to, she wouldn't want to go out until she was at full health. Her temperature the day prior was 103.2. That's a degree less than lethal. I'd better let her get well before we go out.

I agreed to call her in a couple days, something I just did a minute ago, to see when we would go out. She is still fighting sickness, though feeling a little better. She said that she was busy and I should call later or just come over. I might do that.

In still other news… I will be competing in something called King of the Blogs. A real douche called Norrin Radd (You can read about him a few posts down) competed in it a few weeks ago and lost to some other douche. With an audience like you guys, I can't lose. I am better than him. You can read about the thing here…KING OF THE BLOGS.

In still more news… I am applying to law schools. I am applying, hopefully. I learned how to use the word 'hopefully' from a guy named Clint Rainey. He writes an article for The Daily Texan, newspaper of The University of Texas. His articles are always about one thing, correcting the grammar, spoken usually, of others. While his grammar is flawless, he makes it a point to over emphasize the importance of such things as comma usage and noun verb agreement. It is ridiculous. Click here.

Keith recognized this and as a UT student wrote the Texan and complained about the waste of the newspaper's real estate and the support of intellectual misuse by their authors. You can read his complaint here. Notice the complaint by a guy named James Scott.

Someone named Avantgardcore wanted to respond to Keith, so he looked up Keith's blog and made a comment there. It was clear from the comment made that Avantgard just doesn't get it. Not only should you not waste important time and energy scrutinizing every word and punctuation mark, but you should not criticize the grammatical errors of others in a written comment containing, among other things, an incomplete sentence.

So I wrote The Daily Texan a limerick. Here it is.

There once was a man named Clint.
To the error of his way, Keith gives hint.
The message conveyed,
Is not subject to perfection displayed,
Though I think he just likes his name in print.

And then comes a man called Avantgard,
Who saw Keith as a threat and fought him hard.
Responded to Keith's letter in the Texan he did,
Words betraying the message he intended,
And now he just looks like a ‘tard.

But there is a fourth in the mix named James Scott.
Focus on grammar and spelling he did not.
Instead he argues from his English den,
That one should not criticize errors while making them,
And this point the Avantgard has not caught.

So here I sit in one of Baylor’s labs,
Feeling lucky not to be near so many faulty jabs.
Clint makes as many errors as Avantgard,
Both their reputations now marred,
Beyond the point of me telling you they have crabs.


I doubt it will be published.
So that is all for now. I asked a girl out; that will hopefully go well. I will hopefully be a King of the Blogs. I wrote a limerick that will hopefully, but doubtfully get into The Daily Texan, a far better paper than what we have here at Baylor, The Lariat.
