What do you Stumble Upon?

Luckily I didn't discover it until last year. Luckily it hasn't taken over my free time like video games have....but it's real close. Stumbleupon.com is one of the greatest procrastination tools of all time, next to Facebook, Twitter, and XBox. If you haven't curiously google searched this "stumbling fad" I suggest you don't. I'm almost positive that all my fellow classmates have heard of stumble. In fact I'm willing to bet at least half of them have Stumble Upon already downloaded on their computer. I for one didn't download the toolbar until earlier this year during Econ 101 when I couldn't take the pain any longer. Although I previously suggested not looking into Stumble Upon, I can't help but want to share with all of you the enjoyment and satisfaction of a successful hour of procrastinating that stumbling can bring you. I myself have stumbled approximately twelve times since I began writing this blog, and I'm only a hundred words into what I have to share with you today. So anyways, what I want all of you to do is open up a new tab, or use the one your on currently if you're tired of hearing what I have to say, type in stumble upon, select your preferences and stumble for hours upon hours. To those of you who already have stumble upon you need to keep clicking that little SU in the top right hand corner of your screen and keep clicking until you can't be entertained anymore, which is actually quite difficult to do. So I opened this blog up for one so that if you have been sitting through class actually listening to your professor lecture you or you've stalked all your friend's friends on facebook, and completed every Sporcle quiz, you now have something to do for the next four years of class and beyond. I also wanted everyone to share with me, if they so choose some of the funniest and entertaining things they have seen on Stumble Upon over the years. If you can't remember what the link was to that adorable miniature hippopotamus just stumble some more until you find an even cuter animal picture. I'm also interested to see what yall like to stumble upon. For me I enjoy the occasional video game, an interesting cartoon, and of course the cute animal pictures. Here are a few things that I just found while stumbling during the course of writing this blog.

...Enjoy not doing your homework for the next couple hours, and try to avoid getting mono!

Valentine's Day...

I woke up this morning to the sound of a door quietly closing. I rolled over in my bed and saw a tupperware container full of what appeared to be, in the early morning darkness, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. At first I ignored the present, which as far as I knew was delivered freshly from South Campus by my supposed English 102 girlfriend. Just as a side note, Georgia, if you do end up reading this blog post your choice was solid in N.H. Anyways...I dismissed the cookies at first, believing it was just a candy gram or some other stupid tradition associated with St. Valentine's honored day. By the way who the hell is Saint Valentine? Is he even a real Saint? What did he do to deserve a day to his own. I bet her was just a player who got around with a bunch of girls, and then when too many of them found out he was with multiple girls he made up a stupid holiday in order to make one of them feel special and get his ass out of trouble. But hey, you got to respect the guy for being so clever. So back to the cookies...I was almost a little frustrated that I had been subjected to the trivial practiced of Valentine's Day. In fact, I looked at those cookies with dismay. I was scared to look at them at all. I was afraid that if I looked at these delicious little cookies that I too would fall into the trap. That I would turn around all love struck and such and go buy someone else cookies and drop it off in their room almost as if I had been shot in the ass by Cupid. Which by the way is another awful thing about Valentine's Day. Whoever created Cupid in their head and drew him on paper wasn't thinking clearly. Sorry...so luckily once I had gathered enough courage to pick up the cookies and read the note attached on top I discovered the note wasn't anything like what I had expected. In fact, instead of being the subject of a Valentine's Punk'd episode (if those were to exist), I was surprisingly delighted by what I found. On the note was not some cliche phrase about roses and violets but rather the note read, "Happy Condom Awareness Day!" Though I didn't know it, today actually is condom awareness day. At first it seemed odd but I was relieved by the humor of the whole thing. I'm grateful to this person for providing me some Monday humor, especially because I could already feel a case of the Mondays taking over my body. Hope everyone had a great Condom Awareness Day and can appreciate a new holiday that isn't highly overrated like we all know Valentine's Day is.

Dorms

I'm not sure where all of you live on this fine campus and I'm not sure how each one of you feels about   your individual living space so I have created this blog in a desperate attempt to get some sort of feedback. In all honesty I may only get half a comment but that's good enough for me. I personally live on Granville West which happens to be an extremely convenient place to live. The location of Granville is almost completely unmatched because as far as I know it's the only dorm on Franklin Street. I can walk outside of Granville and go eat at a Chinese restaurant and get a lousy fortune cookie or even stroll on down to Qudoba for some late night munching on a chicken and cheese queso burrito (If you haven't gotten one before I suggest you stop writing your own blog right now and get down there). Anyways...Granville. I hate to be talking about it like I'm their Vice President of Marketing...if that position exist at all...but it really does have a whole lot of advantages. The Agora (at least for the first month) is a great place to eat, especially after you discover the make your own pizza section. If you're really good you'll be able to schedule your visits so that you always make it to Mediterranean or Quesadilla day. Secondly, if your feeling really active you got the workout center and crappy basketball courts right out your door. If this weather ever makes a decision about what it's going to consistently do for one whole week then maybe plan a couple laps in the pool. Returning to the thought about location, it takes hardly anytime at all to walk from Granville to classes. Which comes in handy when you are struggling to submit a proper draft of your english paper a couple minutes before class. Another great aspect of Granville is the fact that you have access to hundreds of people. Basically it's hard to get bored when you live on Granville. i've even heard Granville referred to as a hologram and I can't help but agree that Granville seeps outside of the normal bounds of "real" life. If you live on Granville then maybe you can agree with me but if not let me know what's so special about your dorm. Especially those of you who live on South campus. I can't imagine the pain you go through when someone asks you to meet them on Franklin St.     

My Blog...What's the Point?

I'm just gonna let you know that if you've copied my URL from Blackboard, as I do with yalls when I search for a blog to comment on, that you should immediately go back to Blackboard and find a different one....did you do it? I'm serious you really should because unless you're really wanting to read a pointless piece of writing. Hopefully I have now discouraged all potential readers from continuing to look at this worthless writing so I can continue to ramble on about this blog. Damn, Dexter Stickland just missed a layup. It's really frustrating by the way to watch Carolina Basketball sometimes after being so good for so long. It's nice to see that we are ranked in the top twenty five again , however, because for how much talent are team has we've been playing so poorly. As much as I hate to read about people being die hard UNC Basketball fans all their life, I love to go to basketball games. Sorry... I got distracted from my main purpose of reminding everyone how awful Larry Drew is at basketball. If you've watched us play basketball at all this season then you know what I'm talking about. If not then I must tell you to never support Larry Drew II. Even when he manages to show some speck of brilliance he continually turns around the next play and fails to pick up his man. This wouldn't bother me, good Lord! If you are watching us play Boston College right now Larry Drew just threw up a hideous floater, and now he fouled somebody under the basket. I'm sorry if you've ever been a big fan of Larry Drew but it's nice to see that Roy is leaving Larry Drew in the game when we are up by twenty points. I guess it finally shows that Larry Drew has been dropped down to the second spot on the depth chart. Well i've finally come back to the thought of writing this blog, that is now due in about an hour, and I really hope that no one is still reading this blog. I mean the shear boredom that I'm experiencing as I sit watching the basketball game in my room on Granville is almost unbearable. I cant possibly imagine what someone would be experiencing if they had to read this instead of watching it happen in front of me. This next sentence is probably the only thing of worth that could be taken from this blog, which makes me wonder why I didn't put it at the beginning of the blog...hmm oh well. Anyways, I dont mean to dismiss this assignment as unnecessary but if you've stayed with this article the entire time then you may be wondering yourself...what's the point?
