Monday Week Preview

Just a quick post today, I want to briefly touch on a few topics. First of all I got some bad news. It seems as though another year has passed where I went undrafted by all the NFL teams. It appears as though I will have to submit a player application to the UFL. I was pretty disappointed after watching all 15 hours of the draft this weekend without hearing my name called. It was a surreal moment, and I guess I will have to look elsewhere to become a millionaire. The good news is that both the MLB and NBA drafts are coming up in June, so I have my fingers crossed. 

You all may be unaware that Thursday April 30th will be the one month anniversary of the University of Nonsensical Happenings.  I just finished up my multi-media project to reminisce on the past month. Hopefully it will draw out a few laughs, and maybe even a few tears. I will promise you one thing, it is fucking epic but it should not be taking to seriously. You will have to wait until Thursday though to enjoy it and all it's glory. 

I just learned that the UNH annual Blue/White football game will be played on May 9th. That should be a good preview for the fall. Hopefully the team will continue with their upward trend they have experienced over the last five years or so. 

Also there is a new UNH blog in circulation that seems to encourage some of the same activities as I do. It's pretty entertaining, check 'em out UNH-Hi-Lites. 

I leave you now with today's song of the day. These guys are very talented musicians who really enjoy what they do. The play bluegrass and folk, a very under-appreciated genre of music here at UNH. They are Old Crow Medicine Show with their song "Alabama High Test." Enjoy. (For those of you wondering: Yes, I do like rap music even though I rarely post it. I'm just trying to introduce other bands and genres that most students at UNH don't listen to.) 

Stay classy, not UMassy.

People Who Piss Me Off

Since today is that 100th day of the year, and a Friday, I was expecting to be in a good mood. Why you ask? Well, for some strange reason days that that are a multiple of 10 into the year make me happy. It must have to do with how the stars align or something. Don't ask me why or how I'm not an astronomy major. If I have to explain to you why Fridays at UNH make me happy then you are probably way too dumb, or smart, to be reading this blog. Just kidding, I need all the readers I can get.

So, I was just chilling in my room playing the video game MLB The Show 2009 with a buddy of mine, which is another reason to put me in a good mood because I always win. Anyways, we take video games very seriously, so we were a little tense. Then someone knocks on my door in a loud and obnoxious manner. This angers me because it means I must pause the game. I jump up and swing the door open and who do I see?

No-fucking-body. I look down the hall to see the staircase door swinging shut and the sound of what I deciphered as the laughing of approximately three males. Then I look down and I see this:

Owned by the Knock Bandits? Really what the fuck is wrong with you guys? You really have nothing better to do on a Thursday night/Friday morning than to run around the dorms like a bunch of 7 year olds at a birthday party. What's the matter did you get knocked out in musical chairs? If I wasn't so lazy, and occupied with the video game, I would have chased after you and taught you a thing or two about manners. Fuckers. Now I'm all worked up, and sweaty and I already took my shower. Assholes. 

Until next time, 

Stay classy, not Umassy.

PS: I won the game 1-0.
