Something To Blog About

It's been too long since I posted. I know I'm behind, and I apologize for that. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. End of the semester, you know how it is. I'm getting lazy, and I need to whip myself back into shape. Let's get it.
Oh, first things first: I saw the the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, and all I have to say is: is it July yet?! I can't wait for Part 2. Heartbroken about the death of Hedwig and Dobby. I would have much preferred that they kill of Ron. Hedwig and Dobby were much better friends. Unfortunately, as usually happens in movie adaptations, a lot of vital information was left out. For example, Harry's argument with Remus, as well Kreacher's tale. I know you're pressed for time when making movies, but seriously, some stuff can't be changed. It's about remaining true to the books for me. The Battle of Hogwarts in part 2 better be amazing times 14. For those of you that haven't seen the movie yet, there's a couple of Harry-Hermione scenes that you know Daniel Radcliffe has been praying for since Prison of Azkaban. You'll know what I mean when you see them.
Something else to talk about: They're taking 4Lokos off of the shelves. I know that's probably old news for some of you, but I still think it's worth mentioning. Their reasoning? Apparently, alcohol and caffeine are a dangerous mix. Hmm, who would've thunk it?
Ole Miss is no longer bowl eligible. Ah well, we gave it a great shot at the Magnolia Bowl. Maybe next year. Even if we're not the best, I feel like we're the best. That's called school spirit, peons!
Last thing: More of a request, really. This whole thinking of six things to talk about is getting strenuous(dibs). So how about if you all start leaving me requests(either on here of Facebook) about what you want me to talk about, and I'll do it. Also, if you don't have a blogger account, get one and follow me. It'll help me become more well known. Thanks much. Have a happy Thanksgiving, and find much to be thankful for.
Until the powers that be bring us together again,
Sam

I Finally Got A New Hair Wax!

Friends, Romans, Black Bears,
No, I didn't get a new hair wax. Nick did. He was quite excited about it. Way more excited than any guy should ever be about getting a new hair wax. But that's just my opinion.
Why am I wasting your time and my blog talking about Nick's hair care products? Because I promised I would dedicate my next post to him, and the day I break a promise to a friend is the day Baton Rouge stops smelling like corn dogs(in layman's terms, never). On to more important things. After 3 straight losses to SEC colleagues, Ole Miss pulled out a respectable win against...well, some school called the Ragin Cajuns. That's a stupid name for a team(says the Black Bears). How do you even make a mascot for that? Anyway, good job Team Yogi. Follow up question, with our new mascot, can we switch from the Jaws theme to the Whinnie the Pooh song? No? I didn't think so. At least we have SOME self respect left.
Moving on to NFL, Randy Moss might have found himself a new nickname: Rolling Stone. He's now joined his 3rd team this season. After leaving my favorite team, the Patriots, he joined the Vikings(a team I know nothing about and care nothing about). Now he's with my other favorite team, the Titans. Let's see if he can work some magic with Vince.
One last football comment: Les Miles ate grass. I just saw it on ESPN. I have nothing else to say about L-S-Who.
Final topic for the day: I was helping my dad pick a dental care plan, and on the list of things not covered, the last thing was vaccum cleaners. How in the halibut(3 points if you recognize the reference) did vaccum cleaners end up on the list? What could have possibly happened that they felt obliged to formally say "No, you can not use your dental plan to purchase a vaccum cleaner"?
That's all for now. I know this was short, but I'm oddly tired. Haven't been getting regular sleep. I think I'm becoming an insomniac. Oh well. Until next time, you'll miss me more than I'll miss you.
Legitimately yours,
Sam

I'd Kill For A Pinkie

What's up, earthlings? I know I've been scarce(dibs) lately, but last week was a busy week. And this one's even busier. I'm writing this while I'm supposed to be finishing my developmental psych paper and studying for my criminal justice exam(both tomorrow), but I couldn't leave Nick in suspense of the new post any longer. This probably won't be a phenomenal one, but it's best to stay in the practice of posting. All right, we got a lot to talk about, where should we begin? Oh yeah, anecdote. I hate squirrels. If you know me, you already knew this. If you don't know me...well, you pretty much do now, because the basic concept of Sam is "I hate squirrels". Not all of them, just the ones on the Ole Miss campus. They're obnoxious, overbearing, and one time they attacked me with acorns from the safety of a tree...cowards. That being said, I have gained a temporary respect for them. Last week I saw one jogging through the Circle with three pecans in his mouth, then jump into the middle of the street and stare down a Yukon. Question: where did he get the pecans. I've never seen a pecan tree on campus before. The wonders of life.
Not my best one, I know, just had to say it. Maybe this will make up for it; over the course of Halloween weekend, I saw 4 Waldos, 2 Ash Ketchums, Tiger Woods and his wife (complete with golf club), a red telly tubby, Captain Planet, and Beetle Juice. Also, I was attacked on my way to class on Thursday by a ten-year-old ninja and an 11-year-old SWAT member. Best Halloween week ever.
Well, not really. Ole Miss lost. I ain't even mad, yo...actually, I'm lying, I'm actually quite miffed(dibs). It's not like I expected us to blow the number one team out of the water, but I was also hoping we'd live higher than the standards set for us by every other team. It's games like this one that make me rejoice for not having purchased season tickets. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna be one of those people that rags on his own team. However, I'm also not going to be one of those people that won't admit when some changes need to be made. One of those changes is getting Masoli to throw the ball. Now I know, it's crazy to think about a quarterback throwing the ball, but hey it's also crazy to change your mascot to Winnie the Pooh; what can I say, we're risk takers down here.
Keeping up with my random switch in between topics, last week it was announced that production on Sony Walkmans would be stopped. This marks the end of an era. If you have one of these sitting around somewhere, get it in working order. It'll be worth money some day.
Young Jeezy announced a new release date for "Thug Motivation 103", saying it will come out on December 14th. It's gonna be a cold winter. But then again, it was also supposed to be a cold summer. And a cold autumn. I'll believe it when I've got the CD in my hands. Come on, Snowman. Also, it looks like "King Uncaged" will be put on hold because...well because the King got caged again. T.I. was busted last month on marijuana charges, leading to his parole being revoked. As far as I know, he surrendered himself today to start an 11 month sentence. I don't want to say he deserved it because I'm fan, but if you can't utilize(dibs) the second chances offered to you, you don't deserve them. Also, the name of the album has been changed to "No Mercy". Fitting, since the judge showed no mercy. The new sentencing came not long after T.I. talked a suicidal man off of a 22 story roof, an act some people are calling a "publicity stunt" to get some good favor. I hope that's not true. The new album release date is said to be December 7th. Back to back releases from the biggest names in Atlanta...hope the Rubber Band Man and Snowman can come through for us.
All right, I'm tired of typing, so that's all I have. Until next time, you won't hear from me.
Shalom,
Sam
P.S.: If you're wandering about the title of this blog, I watched Casper last night. That was the funniest line. Deal with it.
