#Trombonegate2012

So last night, the tumblr Music Problems posted some Reebok Groupon copy  that they had come across.

Screen Cap thanks to @_TinaD

It read:

“Unlike playing the trombone in a college marching band, playing quarterback on the college football team requires talent, rhythm, and the ability to refrain from tooting your own horn. Get into playing shape with this Groupon.”

Yeah, that’s bullsh*t.

So many took to twitter responding @Reebok & @Groupon, using the hashtag #Trombonegate2012, expressing their distaste at what had been posted. When I woke up this morning, it had been changed to the milder:

“Shoes are the foundation of any outfit, just as a pile of skeletons is the foundation for any lake house. Tread confidently with this Groupon.”

Sigh of satisfaction.

I got rhythm,

Whores and Bookstores

A little poetry to liven up your life . . .

Babylon College Library 306.74

“I have a friend to the end

Kayla is her name
Curly is her mane
Tiny is her fame

She’s a whore
To be sure

Not for dicks
Are her tricks

No such luck
Not for muff

Only books
Earn her looks

As I said
She’s a whore
She’s the whore

A very definite article

She’s the whore of Babylon College
She’s a slut for knowledge

Feel the thrill so divine
When she strokes a book’s spine

How all her lust rages
When she turns the pages

Not content with one subject
Each shelf has love objects

She’s the whore of Babylon College

Just the whore of Babylon College

If only she could teach us
And then she maybe wean us
From the joy of muff and penis

Then maybe

Just maybe

The world would be a better place.

All thanks to

The Whore of Babylon College”

Also!

The Huffington Post is running a poll on their website called “Bookstores We Love For Their Spirit of Independence.” Asheville favorite Malaprops is in the running! It’s been in and out of the top five, but we can still win this thing! Go to the website and rate it a ten. I think you can vote more than once, so go crazy (if you haven’t already).

Doing some reading,

Winter Wonderland

Wilson Bently, Famous for photographing snowflakes.

It is snowing today in my quaint little area of the mountains, and for the first time all winter I am really enjoying it. Everything looks so clean, and there is a decadent blankness to the light that makes me feel like there’s a chance that everything will be ok. I really needed the snow day today, and I am currently relaxing with excellent friends while we listen to (hold on, let me check) the Cruxshadows. Fun.

I haven’t posted in a while, I have been swamped with school and personal dramas. But it’s been alright, because for the first time in my collegiate career, I feel like I’m actually learning things. I feel like I am acquiring new skills and stretching myself. This is mostly due to the excellence of the professors at Montreat, and I owe a lot to them.

In addition to academically stretching myself, I am also stretching myself on a personal level. I am involved heavily with Student Government and politics on campus, and I am learning about how to deal with people, especially those who are different from me.

It’s been a lot to handle, but I’m still here, and still hoping that things can turn out alright.

Waxing philosophical today,
