Well it's been a while since my last blog. Part of me thought I would never make another blog but my fans insisted that I write something new. I told them I would so here it goes. Mom and Dad, this is for you.
Facebook is amazing. It is useful in so many ways. It allows you to keep in touch with friends, share pictures, and most importantly, find out if someone is a crazy person. The way people use Facebook is fascinating to me. The way people update their status can tell you a lot about a person. I am always amazed at how some people can seem totally normal in real life but appear so crazy on Facebook. Some people use their Facebook status to update all their friends on everything that is going on in their life, no matter how trivial or lame they may be. I've never understood this. Are you so self-centered that you think we care about every detail about your life or are you just bored? Either way, I don't care that you just remember how much you like Cheetos so stop talking about it. That's not the point of this blog so before I get sidetracked let's just stop right there.
I like to think that my status updates are pretty funny. Since most of the things that happen on a daily basis on my life are usually uninteresting to other people, I usually try to post only when I have something funny to say. I like to think that my jokes are pretty witty and sometimes that wit can be lost on certain people. Nothing is worse than coming up with a zinger, posting it, and logging in at the end of the day only to see 0 thumbs up. It's almost as bad as than when you lose your phone for a couple days and the only missed calls you have are from your roommate when you were trying to find it. Almost. Over the last year or so, I have felt that some of my jokes haven't gotten the appropriate amount of thumbs up that they deserved. I don't know if this is because they were too sophisticated for my friends, or if there was a blackout right after they were posted and no one was able to read them. I'm leaning toward the blackout theory. But anyways, here are some status updates that I thought deserved a larger response than they got. Enjoy.
Right now you're probably thinking, "Is Brad seriously going to regurgitate old jokes in hopes of getting a few laughs? That is really pathetic." The answer is yes and I know and I don't care. To quote Robbie Hart, "I am writing this blog and you aren't, SO YOU WILL READ EVERY WORD I HAVE TO WRITE!"
1. Goin to the boat show to remind myself why I go to school
2. A tip for all you students out there: Going to take a big test thinking the sooner I finish this the sooner I can go snowboarding is not a good test taking strategy.
3. It's pretty disheartening to have to tell the doctor in an eye appointment, "I know its a big E, but I can't see it."
4. Having a college basketball game on while you study makes studying so much more enjoyable because it quickly turns into watching basketball and not studying at all
5. Three months ago I planned my schedule to not have class on thursdays and fridays so I could watch the NCAA tournament. You probably think I'm kidding but I'm not.
6. Why is facebook suggesting that I be friends with my 10th grade chemistry teacher who I hated? Does it know nothing about our past? I think facebook should do a little more research before it starts telling who I should and shouldn't be friends with.
7. Say no to racism? Isn't that what racism is? Saying no to other races??
- I thought that was a funny slogan. In my mind it's like an anti-violence campaign that says "kill violence"
8. Wait Lebron is announcing his decision tonight? Has he even met with the jazz yet???
9. New Balance, official sponsor of BYU students
10. I love watching the little league world series. You get to watch a bunch of young kids who will someday grow up to be annoying community college students
11. So excited for the Heat vs 2000 NBA all stars tonight
- This was before the season opener of Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics. To get this you need a pretty good sports knowledge and high IQ so I get why it didn't get the response I was expecting.
12. It's too bad Boise State missed those field goals, maybe with that BCS money Idaho could afford to plow their highways.
- This little gem came after I was stopped in Northern Utah because of snowy roads in Idaho. Yeah I know, hilarious.
13. So is Logan Magnusson's make-a-wish dream to play for a division one college basketball team over now or does it last into the post season?
-This got a pretty good reception from BYU basketball fans
14. New rule. If athletes aren't allowed to use performance enhancing drugs in the super bowl, then entertainers aren't allowed to use auto tune.
Any laughs? Anyone??? Ouch, tough crowd. Well I guess I'd better keep my posts about my love for Cheetos.
