My Best Friend Daniel

I apologize in advance for this post, kids.

Daniel Woods is a terrible person. Probably the worst. I’m not exaggerating. He’ll admit it.

I can get away with saying that. You can’t. It’s the same concept as being able to make fun of my home state because I live here and love it, but as soon as an outsider does the same, I’m throwing punches.

I can say it, because Daniel knows that I WILL throw those punches for his sake. He knows I’ve got his back at all times. He also knows that I think he’s the worst.

I had already planned a post about how awful Daniel Woods is. Then he told me that because his birthday is in August, he felt he deserved a post about him. This is the type of person he is.

So allow me to tell you about my best friend: the douche bag Daniel Woods. Continue reading “My Best Friend Daniel”

Spam and Lynx

Here’s another Lazy Post to throw at you on the start of the week.

– I LOVE  spam comments. I cannot stress this enough. I don’t think you understand how much enjoyment I get from reading them. Here is a great one I received this past week, from frequent reader Heartburn Remedies:

“Hi, Thank you for this wonderful info. It was very helpful to me and to the one who read this page. You truly is a true writer!”

Let’s break this comment down, shall we? Continue reading “Spam and Lynx”

This Is What Happens

My Speech Class

In college, I had only one rule in regards to my classwork: ALWAYS find some way to make it entertaining. Keep in mind, when I say “entertaining” I of course mean “entertaining to myself, regardless of how others feel.”

A fine example of this was speech class. You know how speech class goes. You get a style of speech, you pick the topic, and nobody in your class listens as you deliver. I knew how the system worked. So I found ways to give speeches on whatever I wanted to give speeches on.

For every classmate speech on actual, good, interesting topics, I would have one about sports, how I have ADHD, or just whatever show I watched the night before.

It was AWESOME. Continue reading “My Speech Class”

Harry Potter

I liked Harry Potter a lot more when J.R.R. Tolkien wrote it. It was more original, took up fewer books, and didn’t emphasize girly things like romance.

Thanks a lot, Peter Jackson

My entire Harry Potter understanding comes from watching two movies. I have never read any of the books. I have literally only seen the first film and Deathly Hallows Part One. So this post isn’t so much about Potter, but HP through my eyes: somebody who knows nothing at all.

If you would like something from somebody who has actually gotten into Harry Potter and had that emotional connection, check out Stanton Martin Dot Com. Otherwise, brace yourself. Continue reading “Harry Potter”
