A lost contest

I lost a blogging contest. 


Captain America Honest Review

In lieu of anything else to write about, (mainly because I'm so busy writing a ukelele song that will be posted soon) I'm going to write about the movie I went and saw tonight, Captain America. Here's my review.

It's a fanboys movie.

If you understand the comic book universe, you'll appreciate all the cameo's and people in the movie. 

If not, you'll appreciate Tommy Lee Jones. That might be about it.

The end.

Cheers

Today was great.

I slept from 2 AM straight until noon, woke up, went to Porky's Palace Barbecue, played frisbee, ran into a teacher from last term and chatted with her (is anyone else still weirded out when they realize their teachers have lives outside of school? Even when they're my age it's still weird), went and saw Kung Fu Panda 2 (way good, go see it), went stargazing with Jason, Kelsi, Sarah, and Kaelyn, had a great conversation about genetics, astronomy, and religion, started writing a ukelele song because of a bet I lost, and went to Walmart at 2:30 in the morning.

Then I drank horchata.

This song was stuck in my head the whole day.

A quick post.

I'm back from Hawaii, it was great.

In other news, I often ask myself if the stuff I thought years ago were funny are still funny.

Yes.

Yes they are.

Sorry and you're welcome.

Sorry about not blogging for a while. I'm paying the full price for it. Here's my token of appreciation for reading. This video might also help make it up to you. This is at my sisters wedding.

Two things, one's a contest.

1. I'm going to be in Hawaii all next week, so my blog posts will probably just be pictures.

2. No one commented below. So I'm going to try something. We're going to start a lovely conversation below about the poem, and whoever makes the best comment, wins a cheap souvenir from Hawaii. 

Good luck to everyone.

Floating Through Life

I have no pictures from it, but I went rafting today. Then I went to a little cafe called "Heaven on Earth." Also, no pictures. I'm running on fumes. I'm going to bed.

Unfortunately, the guilt of a 5 sentence blog post has kept me up. So here's some wise words.



Once in a golden hour
      I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
      The people said, a weed.

To and fro they went
      Thro' my garden bower,
And muttering discontent
      Cursed me and my flower.

Then it grew so tall
      It wore a crown of light,
But thieves from o'er the wall
      Stole the seed by night.

Sow'd it far and wide
      By every town and tower,
Till all the people cried,
      "Splendid is the flower!"

Read my little fable:
      He that runs may read.
Most can raise the flowers now,
      For all have got the seed.

And some are pretty enough,
      And some are poor indeed;
And now again the people
      Call it but a weed.


Thanks Lord Al for that one. Comment what you think it's about below, I'd love to hear from everybody.

Voldemort Hug


I'm finally done with school, and I can start enjoying my summer. The first thing I did? Watch Harry Potter. Voldemort's awkward hug, that's all I'm saying.

A blog is a blog and I feel blah...g.

Well, I have one more day until the end of the term. I feel like this. I'm so tired I posted a picture of a tired cat on my blog, and I don't even care. I just don't care. I understand it's internet credibility image suicide, but I'm doing it anyway. There's the cat. Deal with it.

G+

Today, I got an invite to Google Plus (let me know if you want one) and I logged in.

 It was like walking into a brand new public building that hasn't been opened yet, and there is two or three people in there as well, and we're all asking each other what we think about it, and no one has really come to a conclusion they just know it's empty and the architecture looks great and that when the people all come in and there is a party going on in this currently empty building it's going to be the best building on the block with light spilling out onto the streets with people wanting to know "what is going on in that building that was empty?" and they come in to the well-lit room with all it's tables of lavish food, mainly seafood based finger-foods, and they think "this is a lot better than that last party we were at, especially when all the young kids came in and kept strangely asking us to watch their cows for them and we didn't understand and were annoyed", so they decide to stay for the party but they don't invite the people that were there before and they have fun and the brand new public building that is now empty except for two or three people standing and asking one another about it is now full.

Yes, I'm reading Hemingway, why do you ask?

My Birthday

A few quick things.

I am 25 now.

I watched this music video, great song, made me think about life, in a non-emo/I'm a huge fan of summer/wish I was a teenager in the 80's kind of way/I highly recommend it.



And thanks for the reminder Molly.  I'm sorry to hear about your finger.

And thanks everyone for the birthday texts, messages, facebook posts, and phone calls. You're all the best.
