My group and I procrastinated on doing our project.... which happens to be on procrastination

So with only a few days left to complete, we sat down at the library.. awkwardly stared at each other till someone said they have an idea... then we filmed some stuff.  This literally took like an hour to do. I got like 5 minutes of footage and I smashed it all together and added some words-n-junk.

hurr it be(its even in HD too!! and I'm not in it...):

I hate the library. . . with a passion

I've never been a fan of the library, probably because I'm not a fan of reading boring stuff but thats besides the point, so when I'm finally forced to go, I do not enjoy it.  It's always super quite and the people there all spread out in junk always seem like they are experts at being in the library, and when I walk through the doors they stare at me and I can see that caption bubble above their head that says, "OMG look at that noob, who does he think he is.. a good student? he looks soooo cluelessssss about, lifeeeeeeeeee... I'm going to text Katy about thisssss " So I causally, but quickly, walk away from everybody until I'm out of site except from the passed out frat boy in the corner, and then I can collect myself and figure out what I'm trying todo and asking myself over and over again, "Why am I here?" Once I find a secluded cubicle far enough from the people who look like they know what they're doing, one with the least amount of male genitalia drawn on the walls, and far enough that the snores of Freddy the frat boy are only small distractions from the beat of my music, so then I start to pull the chair out ever so slowly. Because the slightest movement of these chairs makes the loudest noise on the floor and I bet those library experts up at the front are like, "great its that noob freshman who doesn't know what hes doing, he needs to get a life...." and I'm a sophomore! So after 10 minutes of trying to sit down ever so quietly I pull out my laptop and turn this bad boy on. Well, genius me was previously watching a youtube video with the volume all the way up, because thats the only way to experience HD video on a 13' macbook pro, and that famous mac "bongggggg" blares out of my computer... and once again those experts are like "Dang freshmannnnn!!!!" (even though I'm still a sophomore) and Freddy frat boy wakes up from his deep slumber to then carve on his cubicle walls, "∆∆∆ are the hottest" and "KΩT has the best parties and gets all the girls" (No joke, thats written next to me right now).  Then once everybody starts to calm down after I have disturbed them from studying I finally start working.

Then the unthinkable happens.... I have to go find a book...... Oh snap!  So after searching for the book on my computer, I have the call number texted to my cell phone (because the baylor library is legit) and then I have a number and a general location of where its at.. and that general location is somewhere in this building.  Since I'm a man, I'm not going to ask a librarian for help.. psh, I just jump in and do it! So after walking the aisles aimlessly for about an hour I then realize that my book is on the third floor.  Once I get to the third floor I find that there are even more aisles to wonder aimlessly in, you would of thought God is punishing me and I'm wondering aimlessly in the wilderness of Moody Library. So then being the smart person that I am, I start to figure out how these aisles work; and I find the row that my book is on.  Now the challenge is finding the book that I need.... Well, soon after finding how the aisles work I also find out that every call number isn't the same... and this angered me.... My call number was D756.5.N6. N45 1944B... What the heck right? How in the world am I suposed to find that? Cant they just order them by number, like start with one and go all they way to ∞... it makes much more since...So I find all the D756 and start going throw all those books until I finally find the book I want. I hope the librarian doesn't mind me pulling all of them out, but I at least stacked them in a pile.  Anyways, now its off to copy certain pages.... oh boy..

When I was walking in I knew I was going to have to copy something, so I started to scope out all the copy machines in hope of finding one in a secluded corner that no one could watch me for 15 minutes pushing random buttons in hope of copying one page.  So after only noticing one on the floor I was on, and the only other one I am comfortable with using is on the second floor and I dont want to bring this book down to the second floor with me because I know that the library swat team would repel down out of the ceiling and beat me with really big dictionaries, so my only option was the one next to all the people.. who already updated their facebook statuses in my misfortune. So, I now had a new challenge. Copy this book... with out using that copy machine or getting flogged by the library swat team. Being the creative person that I am, I devised a plan.. I was going to pull the fire alarm so then I would be all by myself, but then that might get me in trouble. So I devised another plan, I was going to take a picture of the page I wanted with my cell phone and then email it to me to print out as a picture... brilliant.. I know. (I actually did this too, for that exact reason......).

So, after spending most of my day at this place of books I now decide that I am finished.  I pack up all my stuff, take ten minutes to move my chair back to not wake Freddy frat boy who has fallen back asleep, and then high tail it out of there hoping the next time I have to come back is forever away.


This is why I'm not a fan of the library, the people are intimidating, the cubicle graffiti is distracting, and finding a book is near impossible.

-Drew

Oh, and when I was coming to the library tonight.. apparently they lock all the doors after 10 so I tried opening all the doors and failing on every single one... while half the school was in the lobby staring at me and updating their status in my misfortune, once again.. then finally Timmy the frat boy saved my day by showing me you have to swipe your card to get in.... I feel like I should know this by now.....

You know how they put a bible verse on the back those "Rise up" shirts that were $5.... Do you know what that bible story is about?

In our attempt to make Baylor look more Christian and make us all seem like were good people by putting a Bible verse on what is supposed to be our, "Beat the heck out of a&m" shirts, We took a bible verse completely out of context. I also hope that who ever started this "Rise up" motto didn't take it from this verse, yes it makes sense (Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it. Ezra 10:4)  But still, I'm pretty sure its still just added so people can say, "Oh isn't that cute, they put a bible verse on the back of these shirts. Baylor is such a good school, oh we all such good people, unlike these heartless aggies screaming their chants with bad words in them..." So if you haven't taken the time yet to go read what context this verse is in, I'll tell you!  Alright, (this will kinda be in a more modern interpretation) so Erza was laying face down in a church crying while praying and confessing (thats the way to do it). And then a whole bunch of people showed up from Israel, and they were weeping bitterly as well.  So Erza was like, "Yo, why all yall crying in junk out here?" then their leader Shecaniah (Son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam) said to Ezra, "I think we've made God upset at us..... We've married chicks from other countries and made kids with them and stuff.. So what we need to do is send all these gurls and our kids away.... so um Ezra, Rise up; this whole deal-e-o is in your hands now.. were getting out of hurr. The chicks and the kids are waiting outside. We still go your back yo, you can do it".. So after Erza got this news nothing happened for like a few months, but he got them back together and said this, after he "rose up" that is, "Hey all you people that got foreign wives and added to the guilt of Isreal, you have been unfaithful!! Dawgs, you don't marry foreign girls! Now honor God by separating with your families and send em back where they came from!"... then the crowd responded to this with, "Your right homeboy Erza, Lets do this!" .... so thats the meaning behind rise up. They married wives from a different country, had a family, then divorced them sending them back to their motherland :|

Well after thinking about this story some more, I think the person who coined this phrase might have always known what they were doing....So lets now apply it to our football team shall we? Ok, this is how it when down.

Art Briles was chill'n outside Reliant Stadium while the basketball team was playing Duke in the Elite Eight basketball game weeping that he can not win more than four games of college football, reminiscing about how easy coaching high school football was, and praying that Robert Griffen's new ACL will hold out.  Then, after Baylor's lost against the devils from Duke, 48,000 upset Baylor fans walked out of the stadium with the next football season on their minds and approached Briles weeping, and then representing the angry Baylor crowd, Ken Starr came out of the crowd and approached Briles laying on his face weeping.   Ken said, "Art, I think Baylor nation has been upset at our performance in athletics in the past 20 years... and every other sport is starting to get better except... football. And if you didn't know, thats what you coach...So, I was thinking we do this. This next football season how about you put together about four plays and keep running them over and over again and lets hope they will win us some games, and then we might make a bowl game... Shoot we might even beat Texas!... lol, yeah right.. whose going to beat Texas this year.. anyway. Briles Rise Up gosh dangit and get those football players putting the right shoes on the right foot!! We support you, you can do it.... or send in your resume to Texas Tech..."... So we did end up reaching our goal of making a bowl game, and we sarcastically said we'd beat Texas at the beginning of the year and when we did that I guess there was nothing left for us to do... and then we lost out the rest of the season......

Whoever decided the set length of a semester, got it wrong...

It should have ended, in September last week... Cause with Thanksgiving approaching, or already here for you high school punks! and other colleges who don't value education o.O, we students are already starting to "throw in the towel" on our classes...(not give up, just give up on doing anything.. till the night before finals (you know you do it)).  Procrastination has set in, in just about everyone, and everything that has to get done is piling up high enough to be able to call it a mountain.. cheesy. So what do we do about this problem?....... Don't procrastinate? Pshhhh. are you kidding? What do you think I'm doing right now!!..... lol..... darn, I have a quiz tomorrow.... Anyways, no. Stopping procrastination is impossible and not going to happen. So, the only solution would be to make the semester shorter!! Shoot, finals right before Thanksgiving, then you can have more things to be thankful about!! Like being done with classes and school work! It will totally be worth it.. Whose with me! Lets "Rise Up" like Baylor football!... ok, maybe not like Baylor Football... But lets rise up and make our semesters shorter!! It will make Christmas + Thanksgiving break longer, and the summer will be longer for more summer school and internships....right?.... Everybody who is interested meet me out front of Pat Neff with your signs that say clever things at around 12 tomorrow, but we'll have to end around 2:15 cause I have class...See ya there!

Its that time of year again!!! (not Christmas...thats coming later..)

Yeah! Its time for the holiday of the Four F's!!! aka Thanksgiving.. Yes, my new nickname to thanksgiving besides the whole being thankful part is the Four F's.  You might be asking.. "What does the Four F's stand for Drew?.. Well, they stand for Family, Food, Football, and the Fear of approaching Finals. (I guess it could really be the Five F's.. cause four and five still have an F and it would be Family Food Football Fear and Finals.. We'll stick with Four to keep it simple..).  Yes, this next week will be full of awkward family reunions with family members that your might not remember their name but they grab your check and say, "Oh look how much you've grown," and your 19, the Dallas Cowboys getting their butts kicked (idk this one is up in the air.. after Wade Phillips got the boot... I wonder if this will get me more views because I said Wade Phillips... well then, Iraq, Afghanistan, Obama, Proposition 19, TSA...Britney Griner... views up 10%!!)  loads upon loads of food (Why to people say, "I'm going to eat a ton!!! NOM NOM NOm...".... no your not, you just think your are... I say that every year to myself.. never happens) and finally, next week will be filled with the fear of those dreaded approaching finals......(sorry if I reminded you of them)... but yes, they are coming.. FAST! Holy crap, if your in college, we only have like 3 class days after the break and then boom! dead week.... ugh..... Well this is depressing... You high school kids enjoy your extra two days off...punks... On a brighter note, we get Lace back Monday!!!! (Not to jenks us or anything, but watch Monday he comes back and gets a season ending injury... o.O  lol)

I know I've been slacking...

Well, the truth is... College is hard and takes up a lot of time.. and when you add that to being sick and having pretty busy weekends it kind of takes away from the time that I'm sitting at my computer thinking of funny pointless stuff to write about... Have no fear, Thanksgiving break is coming, and I've been saving and idea for thanksgiving too. So just wait... more is coming. .. if anybody still pays attention....

Just when you thought your phone could do everything..... boy were you wrong...

I think cell phone companies, application software companies, or a bored college comp sci student are running out of ideas for cell phone apps.  Its like, "Oh, what do we do now... create an app that lets us walk and text at the same time?" Cause now, there is a company working on an app and cell phone add on that will tell you if you have an STD by peeing on this little micro chip and putting it in your cell phone....  Yeah, you pee on a micro chip and place it in your cell phone... then it tells you if you have an STD or not.... The UK Clinical Research Collaboration has dumped about 4 million in to the development of this.. 'tool'.  I guess STD's are spreading around the UK faster than rumors of a shooter at A&M, so then the smartest thing to do would be to create a self testing kit for your iPhone so you can do it anytime you want and then tell your friends and tweet about it on twitter. "@lonelygurl13<3 I don't have gonorhea!!! and I'm not pregnant!!! (with a British accent, cause it seems this problem only exist in the UK.....)". I guess this could come in handy when you meet this really awesome person and you think, "maybe this is the one" and your not quite sure of their past because maybe they are a "born again Christian" and you could ask them, "hey, could you pee on this for me?", "ummmm, what?", "yeah, can you pee on this for me. I want to make sure your clean before we take this relationship to the next level." ... "but we met yesterday", "I know, you can never be too careful"..... This will either make or break that relationship. And hey, if they never talk to you again because if it, then it wasn't meant to be.  With all this said, looks like another worthless app (to me anyways, some people might find this very helpful for them... and their career as an "escort") that I will not be wasting money on.


Hey look its Friday!!

Apparently, I'm a pretty big deal in Pakistan...

Since creating my blog back in late September I have had over 12 hundred views (thats 1,200).  Yesterday, I added my blog to this website similar to stumbleupon.com that just randomly finds blogs. So since then I have became a global internet sensation! Taking over the world one awesome pathetic blog post at a time! I've scored hits from India, Colombia, Canada eh, Netherlands, Singapore, Bangladesh, Denmark, Romania, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and a whopping 21 hits from Pakistan just yesterday!! I'm huge! Right now I want to give a shout out at my peeps over seas checking out my blog, even though you more than likely don't speak English, so all this is nonsense to you, I'm going to add a funny picture we all can laugh at.
Humor- When something funny happens.. everyone laughs. Even if you don't know how to say "hi" to each other
My next target goal for world domination total internet popularity would be to reach out to China, but we're going to either have to wait till China allows Google in to China (blogger is a Google product) or we reach the lost people from China through proxies.  I guess if I'm going to appeal to the mass population of China I'm going to have to start making post with a slight communist aspect to them.  Such as, tell a story about how the government took two of my chickens and gave one to my neighbor, let me have two eggs from it, and only allow me one drum stick. And some how tie this story to the story of Jesus feeding the 5000 so I can share the love of Jesus Christ to all Chinamen through the use of communist humor. Brilliant.  Either it will work, or I will become an enemy of China and will never be able to travel to China... darn.


Heres another picture for my non-english speaking friends.

Happy Wednesday

Why living in your car during college just might work out

It seems that the common joke everybody says and gives a small chuckle about is that all college students are poor... "I can't go to the movies I'm a 'poor' college student"... "Hey man! Do you have the new call of duty yet?"... "No broski, I'm a poor college student." ... In all reality, your not poor.. your just choosing to spend your money on school (or your parents money) and then you tell your parents you need money for books, pens, and paper when really you want to go skydiving with your friends next weekend.... but thats besides my point.. My point is that I think I've found a solution to save some extra money while at college, and it will make a great story after college. This is that your live in your car! Its so simple and you'll save soooo much money on housing! This is how it will go down:

First your need a car like this
(Hardcore paint job not required, but recommended for style points(and a better story))
After you acquire the above sweet ride, you now rig the inside of it to have a twin bed, a 50 inch tv or larger and a satellite dish for tv plus and xbox. You will then need to find a close power outlet to plug into so you can power the lights, tv, computer, ac/heater, and vribating bed (if you must).  Now your probably thinking, But Drew where will you go to the bathroom and take a shower and eat and study and make friends? At your schools recreation/gym center thingy there are public bathrooms at your disposal for daily usage.. so given a small walking distance its really not a big problem.  Eating is pretty simple, meal plan... restaurants, friends refrigerators. Then studying.. come on.. the library? Oh and making friends, lets just say don't be that creeper that lives in his van.. and then you'll do fine.  

See, that seems pretty sweet.  Think of the positives: no roommates, you can make as much noise as you want after 11:30pm, no visiting hours to follow (or if you view them only as a suggestion), you can move where ever you want to, and your saving money... for things like books and supplies....!!! So there you go, a way to save money in college... I should tell Dave Ramsey about this....

You could be like this guy!



Peace out

Do you find your self running in to things while texting?

Not anymore you wont!  LG has created a solution to the accident prone act of texting while walking! It's called the Look n Type app and its coming to a LG Optimus 7 near you!  What this crazy app does is lets you see whats a head of you on your texting screen by using the camera, and you get to see what your texting! Brilliant!


This will be perfect for people who have to shoot off a text message to their BFF while they are driving, and who already have poor driving skills and adding a cell phone just makes it deadly, cause now you can see the road and your pointless lengthy  important message!  Cause we all know texting while driving is sooooo important.... This is also good for dads who are constantly glued to their phones "checking emails" 24/7.  Now they can see their emails over their families faces at the dinner table! (but actually listening and engaging in conversation might not take place) The possibilities of this app are endless! You can now text in class, text at sporting events, text during movies (with the brightness turned down of course), and even text while on facebook on your computer and not miss a thing!! Oh boy!  This app is already available on the iphone, its called "Type n Walk".  Also look for in the app store! "Text n Drive," "Text n Class," "Text n Cheer" (for sporting events), "Text n TURN YOUR BRIGHTNESS DOWN," and "Text n Facbook'n it".  Coming soon to the app store: "Text n Eat'n," "Text n Halo" (Also works for Call of Duty), "Text n Read..a book," "Text n sleep," and finally "Text n Text" because sending a text message while your watch your self send another text messages is so important! Aint technology great!

How computer scientist rule the world...

Welcome to the wonderful 'secure' world of computers and internet.  You come into contact with them at least once, if not more, everyday.  You pay your bills, buy stuff, transfer money in to your poor college students bank account, look at your friends pictures on the book of the face, send messages to your "friend" your girl friend told you to stop talking to,  and use message boards to bash a certain sports team because they never had a good football team an now all of a sudden they are leading the big twelve south (Sic' Em). But what if your identity you thought was safe all of a sudden became public, like your bank account numbers, your credit card numbers, your address, every message you sent to your mistress, and your actual name from that sports forum.  Then you might find yourself missing a large chunk of your money, find out all the raunchy messages you sent to Crystal get posted everywhere, and a fan and his two friends Lady and Joy show up to your Austin apartment.  Well, the truth is... this can all happen.  You are not safe in this world of technology.. if someone wants your stuff.. they can get it.  To keep track of everything, all your online purchases, bank information, ip addresses, all sent and received messages, wall post from like 2005, and your address on your espn.com account are all saved on a database somewhere out there. This information is all accessible to people that we have to trust, and these people are the programmers of this software.  With out these trusted bunch of people the internet would be full of lies, scams, and thieves(more than it already is).  For instance, say I worked for a bank and I had to make it where my bank could do online transfers from one account to another account over all the different banks in the nation.  So in order to do these transfers I need to be able to process all of these account and routing numbers.  Then say I am the only programmer that works for this bank, so nobody is checking my code.  I could then log every account number that runs through my money transferring program, so then I have access to all these accounts.  Then I could take one dollar from every account that I get, and I could make millions on this. Plus, it might even be hard to catch me on this too.  If I only take a dollar from you, would you really notice that it is gone? Or care enough that it is missing?  And being the smart people we computer scientist are, we will find a way without getting caught too... remember the movie office space? Exact same concept.  Then lets say after getting fired from this bank for stealing 200 million from people (but I didn't get arrested because I invested it in a online stock trading program I made that makes trades in milliseconds making pennies and I eventually made say.. 10% profit off the 200 mil... so I paid everyone back with interest... everyone was happy.. and I kept my 5mil that was unaccounted for) so, I then get a job at facebook. And lets say its getting close to a presidential election... and this certain presidential candidate I didn't like had a facebook in high school and college... well, let me just tap into the database and take a look at every picture he was tagged in and every picture he uploaded and pretty much everything he said.... uh-oh.. that could cause problems for him if he did things that are a little more intense than chopping down a cherry tree.....  and now its floating all over the internet....  Kinda, makes you a little more afraid of what you say and what information you put up on the internet.... Oh, btw some peoples passwords for facebook and their email are so easy to break... all they have to do is look around on your profile and they will find out enough information to guess your security questions to your email. So they can change your emails password and then change your facebook's password.. and then you aint never getting in to it... And another thing... I have this tool on my mac that when I'm sitting in a non secure wifi zone, I can pull it up and it tracks every cookie going out from that router (google what that means).  So then if you are on facebook, I have the ability to get on your facebook and change anything I want, except the password.... crazy huh?  Enough telling you our secrets, Have a happy week!!





Halloween impressions 2010: Well it appears that everyone has uploaded their halloween pictures up to their facebooks for public screening, and your mom calling you asking why you were not wearing much cloths.  It seems the most over used costume was Mario and Luigi. They made an appearance at every party that had pictures on my news feed... let me take this time to dog on these two.... Ok, I still don't understand why people just love super Mario and say its the greatest game to ever come out... Have you played Halo?.... Come on, Super Mario on the original Nintendo sucks!! I played it the other day and it held my attention for a full 1 minute, then I went to work on a puzzle cause it was more entertaining.... So, why not dress up as Master Chief or Soap or Ghost from Call of Duty.. at least those games are fun...  Then for pumpkin carving, why does every party that has Mario and Luigi always have a pumpkin that appears to be drunk and throwing up?  Way to be different... it was funny once (Like being Mario and Luigi)... be original... copy kats..
