And...Here...We..Go

I think the biggest headlines of this past weekend, without the possible exception of hsm3 opening to 40 mil, has to be how hard shingles raged. Ok done pumping my tires, but it had to be said on here. Because not nearly is said about us on posh. I get it that its a smallwood thing, like I'm not complaining....but 20% of my crew is in fact Jewish, and I think that 20% has probably known 30% of Smallwood in Biblical terms. Now I'm no math genius but doesn't that add up to about 50% so one in every two posts should directly involve me? Just kidding, but what I'm not kidding about is the lameness of the content on there...I mean really? Spotted: Two Kappa sophomores smiling for the camera. Thats not juice, thats just a cute facebook pic. GG would be fucking ashamed. Where is the pics of the blacked out dudes with serious girlfriends grinding with chubby underagers. THAT is where the juice is. Def not SPOTTED dumb idiot nobody named Goldsteinowictz drunk in his Smallwood apartment. Hm. End rant.

So this week sucks. Homecoming was tausome, like the best ever. And speaking of things that are really really cool, Fried Fridays are nothing short of a miracle. But now that we all have 4 tests and 9 interviews this week, life just doesn't seem to be, i dunno, fun? Everyone of my interviews is the same and they all start the exact way...

So, Tell me a little bit about yourself...

"Well, since you asked. I go out every night of the week. My current drinking streak is at +36, and I have managed to black out about 40% of the time (if you are a baseball fan, that would mean I have a pretty good slugging %) I believe in nothing but material things and status. I wear trendy clothes to fit in, I spend a lot of money at bars to impress people. I am constantly scheming on everyone, even my friends, who I only surround myself with because I think that it will be advantageous for me to do so. I don't like to work hard at all, I bullshitted my way through B school, which, let's be honest, wasn't that hard. I smoke cigarettes, and occasionally on Sundays I get a little high. My number one pastime is talking shit about people behind their backs. I will not even make direct eye contact with someone in an inferior greek organization. I don't even want your fucking job, it sounds miserable. I just did this so I could wear a suit on campus today and make every other loser at this school feel inferior to me. I'll call daddy and tell him to throw some more cash in the trust fund. Hold on asshole I need to BBM this chick I banged last night to see if she's on the pill...no, of course I don't use condums. What else is there about me. I like movies, but usually my favorites are the ones with really cocky protagonists because they remind me of myself. I like to travel to other countries and take a shit on their cultures, and I really like flatlines. Thats about it, now its your turn. Tell me about a time that you asked this question at an interview to someone exactly like me and they gave you a bullshit response, but you just wanted to here them make one reference to how they really felt? You've got my number, don't call me unless the offer is at least six figures. And Jesus Christ go get a better fucking suit you schmuck. Later dude."

Only in my dreams...only in my dreams...

Devil in the lime(stone) city

I've been listening to a lot of radio disney lately. Is it gay? Yes. Is it Kevin Spacey gay? Probably not. I hate driving and it constantly makes me tired, so what better to keep me awake then a bunch of pre-pubescents screaming about love and loss. I find it ironic that Miley Cyrus constantly whines about her failed relationships, maybe its because that prude isn't putting out. That would be cause for me to cheat and leave. Then again the real life Hannah Montanna is currently dating a 20 year old making it illegal for him to go down on her in all 49 states.

So while Miley claims to be a virgin, she is exerting some outlandishly whorish behaviors. (You know what I mean, that girl in high school who was dating the college kid. Even if they were in a relationship you looked upon her as trailer trash just for breaking the status quo.) It is much more likely that Miley has guzzled the cum of at least 2/3 of the Jonas Brothers, and it probably having a mid-teen crisis experimental bi-curiousness, with the now "out of the closet" Megan Fox. But then again if any of this became public knowledge the institution that is Disney would probably implode bringing much of the free world down with it. I suppose the economy wouldn't be able to handle it. But I just wish Perez would grow some balls and make some assumptions...

Anyway, now that I've covered that, let me address a few observations I have made this year. Now maybe I went abroad and lost all concept of responsibility but I am pretty disappointed with the amount (or lack there of) of partying that has been done thus far this semester. Now I'll admit, Bear's has been great, the live-out ragers...fun, and the obnoxious amount of boat parties were nothing short of superb.

But what happened to the bars?
Remember Mondays? That used to be one of the greatest nights of the week, but now Kilroy's is as deserted as a Lamda Chi frat party on any given night of the week.

Then there is the issue of Tuesday...yah its cheap blah blah blah, but cheap attracts townies and GDI's. I personally would rather do another 17 hours in the tank than hang out with that D-list crowd anymore.

Wednesday- WHAT HAPPENED? Sports Wednesday! The only acceptable time for nice Greek Protestants to frequent the best set up bar in town. Now the noise level doesn't rise above a moderate buzz until 1 a.m. and instead of getting excited all day about the impending nights I feel like most of you try to brainstorm excuses about not coming out.

Thursday- Ok Thursday is still awesome...I have been quite content with the routine of Bears - Pregame - Kilroys...keep strong friends

The weekends I suppose have been fine. (That riot at tailgate was sweet by the way) This is the first year that I haven't been able to get work done on Sundays because I am suffering from chronic alcohol poisoning. But honestly what happened to the mid-week party. I've come up with a few ideas.

The B School- a disproportionate amount of the social community has a harder than traditional senior year. Unfortunately my colleagues that did not become a marketing major (which requires a kindergarten education only) are struggling through tough finance and accounting tests. Their lame study habits are rubbing off on their friends that don't even have work to do, but don't want to seem irresponsible and unambitious.

The economy- Perhaps the recent drop in the Dow has cut back students' willingness to spend. But then again, anyone out there who has a stock portfolio probably has a trust fund that should be kicking in within the next few months.

Fake ID- Its hard to get into bars now...but then again most seniors are 21...

You grew up too fast- So what we all had internships this summer. We became accustomed to the real world. But the real world is, for now at least, on hold. So instead of prepping for interviews, and studying for tests that won't contribute to your interviewing gpa, enjoy the last lap. You see, Irresponsibility, as you know, is like gravity, all it takes is a little...push. I'll see you out there
