Just some stupid things that have been going through my mind lately…
- That terrible song by Kid Rock that has been blasting through the airwaves all summer may possibly be the worst song of the year. The singer/actor/pimp/cowboy/American badass really stepped up his game on this one. Let’s see…he stole the beats from two classic rock songs. Not one folks, two!! How can that even be considered a song? Then he made a super cool video to go along, with him and his “friends” partying all summer long apparently on Mr. Rock’s boat. How original. And perhaps the most egregious of all, he did the whole “hey, it’s summer…I should make a song that corresponds with said season!” Great idea, Kid, I can’t wait to hear “Trailer Park Christmas” this December. The sad part is that when artists use these songs to make money, it really does work. My mom was a big fan of this song over the summer, stating “his songs are so fun!” Then I played “Bawitdaba” for her and I think she regretted the decision
- While we’re on the music/Kid Rock topic, what is the sudden fascination with artists making country albums? Kid Rock, Jessica Simpson….and now Hootie? I mean, Hootie!! They can’t do this to us. My friends from home love country and torture me with regularity because I’d rather watch a Lifetime movie marathon then listen to that. I can deal with people who like country, but when you take Hootie from me, it’s personal. What’s next…rap is going to take Chris Martin from me? Oh wait, they…actually I like that song. Plus Coldplay hasn’t put out anything good in like 7 years.
- Here’s a conversation I hope to have someday:
Me: Hey, how was the game yesterday? Did you win?
Lacrosse Player: How did you know I was on the team?
Me: Well maybe it’s the fact the your sweatshirt says QU Lacrosse. And so do your shorts. And your hat. And the tag on your backpack. And the fact that you brought your stick to class.
Lacrosse player: Yeah, I guess those are good clues.
Me: Yeah, it’s cool. Hey, at least everyone knows you’re here on scholarship. Good for you.
Lacrosse Player: Yeah, isn’t that sweet, bro?
Me: No
- I no longer live in the dorms on campus, but can someone answer this for me: why has Quinnipiac never put air conditioning in the residence halls? On a particularly hot day last week, I walked past Irma and Dana and just shook my head. Those poor kids. I remember my days in Commons where I would shower roughly 6 times a day just to keep cool. You’d think they would give us something, anything. In the winter, they jack the heat up through the roof, but in the warm months, they leave the students looking for cool air like a singed koala looking for a 24-hour burn center. I’m sure many students have complained over the years and it shocks me that the school hasn’d done anything about it.
What am I talking about? I’m not shocked. The Mets have a better chance of winning the World Series than students do getting some air conditioning.
Anyway, those are my thoughts for the week. Hopefully I can get some better stuff up here by this weekend. Thanks for reading.
