For the longest time, I didn’t know what “Happy Holidays” meant. . .

Being 19 years old I spent many of my “growing up years" (when I didn’t know everything that older people knew about yet but I would soon learn on my own) growing up when everybody was trying to say things politically correct. So around Christmastime I would always hear people saying “Happy Holidays” and I would be like.. “Oh thanks , Santa’s coming!!” then my dad or mom would say back to them, “Yeah MERRY CHRISTMAS!” . . It didn’t quite click in my head that they were trying to be politically correct and not offend the Jews or the Muslims or the people celebrating the positioning of the sun. Yet, happy holidays always made crystal clear sense to me. Because, I would get out from school, and during this time off from school there would be two big events. These events were Christmas and New Years day. So, I thought that these were the holidays all the nice people saying “Happy Holidays” were referring too. Not this politically correct crap everybody is throwing in our faces. Now I know the truth about this horrible saying and now join in the fight against religious oppression and shove “Merry Christmas!” down the throats of the oppressors!!

One week down. . . three to go

Well, my break has felt like it's been very long so far with all the events that have happened to me. Upon arriving home I found out that we had received a Christmas gift thingy in the mail and it contained dry ice. . and who lets dry ice go to waste without making a bomb? So with being reunited with my brother, my random part of my brain went up, and the good decision part went down. . . So, we made a few bombs, and filmed one.



Of course one wasn’t going to cut it. So we then got the bright idea of strapping a bomb to a few big rocks, then chunking it in the pond down the street. So we duct taped them together and then threw it in, and well.. if there were any fish in there.. they aren’t alive anymore. . . it was quite spectacular..a day or two after that we made our way up to Tulsa for a Wedding. . I think I took more pictures of this lady that was sitting across from me on the plane ride up there than at the wedding.. she was like mid 40’s and I guess it was her first flight cause she was taking pictures of everything and everyone, even a video. And the whole plane heard her breathing when we were taking off. . . It's kinda weird being at a wedding and only knowing four people, two of them being your parents and the other one your brother . . . After spending a few hours in Tulsa, I determined that it is just like Waco: Deserted, old gray buildings, and the only people you see are homeless. . . Tulsa is just bigger…

After arriving back home my brother and I were bored again.. so we put on some sweaters, athletic shorts, knee high tube socks, and brightly colored visors.. and headed out at 11:20pm to play tennis at one of the many tennis courts in the Woodlands…. After about 2 minutes we realized tennis is nothing like ping pong and we suck terribly at it. . so then we just tried to hit each other

We leave for Florida soon. So, more interesting stories will be produced very soon. Which might include but not guaranteed: Fireworks, beaches, ocean, really big fish, dry ice, cops, and alligators.

Yesterday I dropped out and became a professional Nascar driver. . . but then I had to quit

After having a pet penguin I needed something else this week to do that was totally awesome and would make me totally popular.  My dream occupation was to become a Nascar driver and well, a once in a life time opportunity came my way.  Few weeks ago I was watching the local dirt track races at The Heart O Texas Speedway here in Waco and I met this really nice older gentleman named Bobby Hendrix Jr.  Bobby jr spent his younger years racing stock cars out in North Carolina against some of the big names of Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt and once he retired he made his way out to Texas (And ended up in Waco. . . ? I know right?).   And we got to talk'n about how I've always been a fan of racing and that I would really like to get into it.  He then said that he has a friend look'n to put a team together and would like a young driver that no one has really ever heard of, and he'd give me a call if they would be interested.

Well, few months later Bobby jr called me up tell'n me that they would like to see me give a few hot laps up at the Texas Motor Speedway in one of their prototype stock cars.  So I did what any other weekend warrior Nascar fan would do with this opportunity, and that was drop everything that I was doing and get my butt up to the Texas Motor Speedway cause I get to freaking drive a Nascar!

Theres me sitting in my car (Didn't think it was legit huh?)

So after putting a few laps down around the speedway, Mr. Jimmie Hamlin really like what he saw in me.  And he wanted to sign me right away as a starting driver in the 2011 season.

Me rocking the front stretch 

Of course I wanted to sign!! So right there in there standing in the race suit right next to a car still hot from a few laps I signed becoming apart of the 2011 Jimmie Hamlin's #07 Jack Daniels race team.  Then right from the get go I already had a ton of fans wanting my autograph!!!

It took a little time getting used to all this new attention (about 30 minutes) then I finally felt like I have accomplished my goal, except for winning of course, but heck.. I'm a Nascar diver! But being Baptist and driving the #07 Jack Daniels car is kind of contradicting. . . So, I asked Mr. Jimmie Hamlin if there was a chance that we could get a new sponsor instead of Jack Daniels, something like Lifeway Christian Bookstore or American Eagle? He then told me that Mr. Daniels was a really good friend of his and he has helped him with a lot of problems though out his life, he really put emphasis on problems with his wife....., and that he owes it to Mr. Daniels to have a racing team with his company on it.  I then decide that I was not going to race for Mr. Hamlin and that I would wait for other racing opportunities down the road. (pun intended.... )

Right then and their I went down in Nascar history, as being the shortest signed career driver for a full 5 hours. . . I then had a nice trip back to Waco with the feeling that I had made the right career move, guess that means I still have to take my finals. . .. . but hey, I got to drive a Nascar!

Today I got a pet Penguin

The other day I was thinking to myself that a penguin would make a great pet.  They're cute,  cuddly, and I'm pretty sure they are a chick magnet. So, I decided that I would go out and get one.

My first stop in my quest for a penguin was the pet store in the mall, which always have the sickest best pets, and I asked the girl setting behind the desk filing her nails if they had any penguins in stock? And then she said "no" and pointed to the cat on the desk then said, "we have cats though, their furry too."

So after being slightly disappointed that the pet store did not have any penguins I thought about my next two options to get a pet penguin. Which are fly to Antarctica, or jack one from the zoo.  So, being finals week, I decided I'd head over to Cameron Park Zoo and "acquire" a new pet.  

Once I got to the penguin exhibit, I saw my new pet for the first time.  Just chill'n by the fake rocks and swimming pool.  

I quickly snagged him up and brought him back home and officially named him Petter.  Once I got home I couldn't decide what to keep him in when I wasn't playing with him or strut'n him down the street.  Because since penguins are birds, do I keep him in a bird cage? 

Then I decided that the bird cage was not real fitting, and his water bowl wasn't big enough for him to splash around it and catch fish in. So, I got him a fish tank to swim around in and a big ice cube because penguins like water, fish, and ice and this is just the place to contain everything.  

After he got used to his new home I decided to go on a walk with my new friend.  And he was quite the attention getter.

But after while, Petter was starting to get tired of all the attention and he started looking tired.  So I took him back home.  Then after watching him sleep on his ice cube I felt sorry for the little guy that he was not in his natural environment.  So I came up with a plan.

I was going to bring him back to Antarctica! Since nothing has changed yet and it is still finals week I could not personally take him to Antarctica, so I got this big box, and cut holes in it so he can breath. And then I shipped him off to Antarctica! 

So, I would imagine UPS would drop him off close to some other peeps he'd know so he wouldn't totally be alone out there.  Then he'd be living the true hardcore life of a penguin with world traveling experience.  

So there is my story about Petter. What an exciting time we shared together. Next week I think I'm going to go get lady or joy to bring back to my room and hang out for a bit... till chamber gets a little ticked off about it......

Theres me with Lady, or Joy.... I cant tell the two apart......

Studying at McDonalds for finals. . . with homeless people

Last week I was sitting in the McDonalds across the street from campus and noticed that they had free wifi, I then thought this would be a great place to study for finals cause you got wifi, free refills, interesting people, and crappy food... great place, ha.... So, I'm here sitting at Micky D's with my friend Alex studying for finals... at McDonalds.  I was looking forward to "trying" their new Caramel Mocha but I had a feeling that they were going to tell me that their coffee machine is broken because for some reason every coffee machine or ice cream machine always seems to break after about 7p.m. at every fast food place.  Turns out this coffee machine is right on time and is broken... So after having already swiped my card and paid for it (dang mcdonalds sucking me in to buying something) I was forced to either take an ice coffee or a frappuccino, and being 20 degrees below zero outside I chose a frappuccino (is that how you spell it? well, i dont care anyways, you get what i mean). Expecting this to be an explosion of flavor of caramel and the best coffee in the world, I was instantly unimpressed.  You know when you take a drink of something and right after you swallow you get that little "after swallow taste," well this after taste tasted what I would imagine the bathroom here at McDonalds to taste like if you were to lick the floor.  I dont know why my mind connected cheap coffee, Waco water ice, and bad caramel to the McDonalds bathroom, but it did.  And I'm pretty sure this crap caramel is stuck in my esophagus.. I can feel it not going down... So after powering through this bathroom flavored drink I started to actually do some work, and whats a trip outside the "Baylor bubble" with out getting approached by a homeless person... Yup, just like I knew the coffee machine wasnt going to work, I knew Jerry J-walker would come up and ask me for change, so I planned ahead and had some change ready... these encounters never fail.  Its past 10, I'm surprised an armed robbery hasn't happened yet... Oh wait!, no.. a travel bus from Mexico just got here....


While deep in study I glanced over at another table and a question arose in my head.

Why are chairs at fast food restaurants usually connected to the ground? Like they can swivel, but you cant move em back. Are they there to laugh in the face of really fat people who cant sit there because their stomach circumference will not allow them to fit? Like, "Ha your too fat to sit here, you cant move this chair back! ha, the fat seats are over there ----> *pointing to the bathroom*." And I guess they have a mean sense of humor too.... 

Well, its finally dead week.... yay!...... uh oh another homeless person. he has a legit orange backpack and tan trench coat though, with some tats from back in Nam. 

Current Homeless count: 5
