Accusation

You know I find it interesting when someone has to go out of their way to call me out on my own personal quirks. My best friend and I have an odd bond where we unintentionally look at one another and speak without saying a word. We do it all the time and unless someone points it out we are often unaware of it. I know it sounds weird because how do you forget looking at someone but it's the faces we apparently make while we are doing it.

Anyways the point of this is a teacher decided to talk to us about it. We were sitting in class minding our own business and she asked Daniel what his last name was. He told her and she said she got him checked off on the attendance. So he replied with "Excellent". This apparently set her off and she responded with "I need to see the two of you after class".

Before I go any further I need to describe this person to you. She's one of those weird hippie people who humps trees and likes to sleep on rocks. She listens to music that sounds like it was made by a guy on acid. She also apparently follows every religion ever. She's very strange and has all these weird stories about weird people she's met and spiritual journeys she's gone on. She also told us she gets up at 4:20 every morning...very random time.

So she pulls us aside and says "I'm getting negative vibes from you both. I feel there's disrespect between us." So we asked what it was we were doing. She says "You know what your doing." Actually no I don't and if you can't tell me what it is I'm doing you obviously don't know yourself, idiot. So in the end we squeezed out of her what her issue was.

During both classes we've had with her we watched this horrible movie called Baraka. It's just some music with footage badly edited to it. I fail to see the relevance of it. Anyways there's a part where these guys are doing this Balinese Monkey Chant. It's fucking hilarious. So Daniel and myself start laughing, this is apparently disrespectful. Then at the end of the video there's a guy yelling with no audio and he has this intense look on his face like he's shitting his pants. We also found this to be hilarious, this was also apparently disrespectful. Lastly she engages in this ritual with a Bald Eagle feather. This is where we lost it. She starts running around the room in a circle waving the feather around, it looked like she was trying to fly. Then she gets on her knees in front of every student and starts waving the feather at them with this intense look on her face. Daniel was first so of course he laughed, he was caught off guard. I kept a straight face but I was almost last so I had time to prepare.

So she tells us we have to respect every culture out there and laughing isn't okay. I find this funny because she told us she has the Eagle feather illegally. She took seven of them from some forest she went to and brought them back here. It's not legal to own these but she doesn't care because it's man's law. So it's okay to disrespect man's law but it's not okay to laugh at the Balinese Monkey Chant. That's ass backwards logic. She also can't expect everyone to feel as passionate about this crap as she does.

For reference this is the Balinese Monkey Chant. Pay attention tot he bald old guy he's the one that set us off. Especially towards the end.


And here's the face guy I mentioned. It starts at 1:35. The music was removed because of copyright issues but even without the music it's pretty much the same idea.


As for the looks Daniel and myself tend to just look at each other whenever someone says something retarded and then we laugh. We have some morons in that class. There's one guy who yells everything he says like he turrets or something. He also went off on a tangent about Micheal Jackson in the middle of class.

So yeah that's my rant for today. Don't even get me started on my Creative Writing teacher.

Living Arrangments

No I'm not moving out. I just finished refurnishing my living room. Actually the correct term would be furnishing, there was literally nothing in there before. I went out one weekend and bought two side tables, a coffee table, a futon, a TV stand, a 42 inch LG HDTV, and a bluray player. Then I bought a bunch of poster frames and my roommates and I began filling them with 27X40 movie posters.

So far we have Gran Torino, Dirty Harry, Iron-man, Ninja Turtles 2, Children Of Men, and Rescue Me. On the way are Rodger Rabbit(The girlfriend), Hellboy 2, and lastly Dark Knight. Amazon decided to mangle the first DK poster they sent me so I had to call them up and get a replacement. By the time all is said and done the place will look pretty spiffy. I'll be sure to post pictures.

This is part of what I've been up to. The rest is homework. I also saw some movies. Busy busy busy.

I have a new idea I've been trying to bring to fruition. If anything comes of it I'll be sure to post about it here first.

Gas

Without a second thought every time I fart, I laugh. However last night that wasn't the case. All the times I farted combined into one giant ball of gas. I felt like I was going to explode. At first it was funny, it smelled bad and I got some funny reactions out of Daniel and Tiffany. Though after about a half hour of horrid smells the pain started. I got up and ran into the bathroom. I sat on the toilet trying to fart out whatever was in me. I kept farting for a good half hour. Then I got tired of sitting on a cold toilet and moved to a bathtub.

I filled it with hot water and sat down. After awhile I was laying on my side. I just kept rubbing my stomach as Daniel instructed. If I wasn't in pain the farts would be funny, they were in the water and making huge bubbles. I kept trying to stand but it hurt to much. Finally I just said forget it and I got to the point where I didn't feel like I was going to burst. It was then I stood up and took a shower. After that I sat on the couch for awhile and then went to bed. I had taken some Gas X when the whole thing started and I assume it worked late into the night to get rid of all this built up gas.

I can still feel it brewing inside me. I hope it doesn't happen again. It was completely random when it did, no idea what set it off. I know one thing though, I won't laugh at a fart again for at least a day and I'm probably gonna be eating salads for dinner from here on out.

15 Minutes of Fame

I made a music video for one of my Dad's old songs and sent it to him. He loved it and e-mailed it to everyone he knew. One of those people was the guy who runs the record label he's on. The guy liked it so much he posted it on the front page of his labels website.

It's under July 11th and the video is called Hot Rod To Hell By RapidFire. Blogger hates the link so your gonna have to copy paste it sorry.

I thought I'd share this with you all. It's the first time I've had a solid reaction like this to one of my videos outside of a classroom setting.
