I've decided to start one of these things.

the idea came from a writing class i had at sc. there was one assignment that was literally "pick a topic you are passionate about, and write". what? i never knew you could do that. i mean, you get to write what you want in any paper, but i get the chance to earn points by literally putting my own thoughts about my own topic. baller.

so i sat thinking about the other kids writing about global warming, social security and aids, and finally came up with my topic. i proved that Transformers 2 was the greatest movie on earth and got a b+ with a teacher who worked for universal and openly loathes michael bay. i realized my thoughts could be interesting, and then i thought about my thoughts, and realized i have a lot of them.

ive got a group of friends from home that are very special, and we speak this broken form of english that is beyond inside jokes and is a mix of ace, movie, tv, music, sports and nonsense that you can understand if you really pay attention to that stuff. we love sports, espn is the newest testament of christ. we like family guy too, but i can kind of point to where this whole mess started. the movie super troopers awoke some sleeping giant of comedy and made us awesome, and its grown to include quotes from every funny thing there is. if you ever get a hold of Micah's senior high school yearbook you'll scratch the surface. The 5 of us started this stream of consciousness thread on facebook that has gone on for a few years which will no doubt be published for scientific study of awesome, and i wanted to start bs'ing on one of these because we're absolutely right about everything we talk about. College couldnt keep all of us apart, and its gotten to the point where all of us know we are about to begin our quest to take over the world.

i've found that i like to debate, and the last line of Thank You For Smoking i think put it best. "Michael Jordan plays basketball. Charles Manson kills people. I talk. Everyone has a talent." A few facts about this: don't worry about punctuation, grammar, mechanics, capitalization or sense, this thing will have or make none. Some posts are gonna have songs, some pictures, some movies, others will make you laugh, cry, combust, but like it or not, you're gonna agree with it. I try and live by my favorite quote of all time, from james lipton's inside the actors studio with johnny depp:
"If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?"
"Wow."

lets see how i do.
