A Quick Story

Before I get into my story, I feel as though I need to thank you all. Yesterday this blog had the top two posts on The College Blog Network, which has a live feed of just over 300 college blogs. I believe they are still ranked 1 and 2, so I'm really pumped about that. There is no way this blog would be where it is without loyal readers, so thank you all.

This is a story about my brother's friend at college in the city of San Francisco. My brother's friend will be known as "Tom" to make this easier. Tom is now 22, but at the time of the following events he was only about 20. Tom is the type of kid who looks a older, he has a receding hairline and is a little chubby.
So, Tom was a small party at another friend's third floor door room in the city. At this school, the RA's don't care about anything and the dorm rooms are old, renovated hotels. They are more like an apartment than a dorm. Basically everyone (including the RA's) smokes weed and drinks in the streets and in their room because it is San Francisco and no one cares. Even police...
Anyways...
Tom was very drunk and he left he the dorm to go smoke a cigarette on the street. After he was done smoking he realized that he would need to have someone come down to let him back into the building. He decided that it would be better to climb the fire escape to the third floor and jump threw the window to surprise everyone. So, Tom climbs up the ladder and finds the window. He slings it open and shouts "Hey!"
As he does this he realizes that it was the wrong room and there is only a girl sleeping in her bed. The girl wakes up and starts screaming so Tom jumps back out the window and runs away to his own dorm.
The next day there were fliers all over the dorms describing an attempted robbery by a 35-year-old fat bald guy who climbed up the fire escape. This is how my brother's friend came to realize that he looks like a 35-year-old fat and bald guy.

I sure some of you have heard, or been apart of, stories like this. Maybe some of you will do something like this while trying to get more drunk than that squirrel. That would be awesome.
If you do get really drunk and a cop gives you shit, make sure you know your rights!

Today's guitarist is none other than Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello. He is known for his slap and pick techniques on a nylon string acoustic guitar, which comes from his Gypsy-Eastern European background. This is Hutz with two other members of Gogol performing "Not a Crime."



Stay classy, not UMassy.
