Zeitgeist: Addendum

This video is basically like my 11th and 12th grade Sociology and World Geography classes combined, minus the "crazy" old black man teaching it.

Ramblings of a derranged mind

There are certain drugs that won't cloud your perception. There are certain drugs that open your mind and remove filters built into our brains that were put there so that we would have survival instincts. Some things make us uncomfortable when we're hungry, so that we want to eat rather than stare at the ceiling for the next few hours. There are certain wavelengths that our eyes aren't able to recognize; in fact, the "visible spectrum" is barely anything. When you really think about it, there's so much shit going on that we're completely oblivious to. For example, there could be an ultraviolet elephant sitting on your lap right now. Maybe not, but who knows for sure? When one starts to think about the sheer amount of things that exist that we're unaware of, it starts to become clear that although humans dominate this planet, we're far from elite or even special. Just because we've got bigger brains than the animals around us we think that we're the shit, but its like if we put a high school drop out in a room of 1st graders; of course he's relatively educated compared to them, in the greater scheme of things, he's next to nothing.

Mr. Antonios

The man.

The myth.

The legendary substitute teacher.

Imagine Barney Rubble. Now compress his vertical height by about 25% without compromising any horizontal girth. Stick him in a clean gray suit and you have Mr. Antonios.

Everyone's favorite sub, Mr. Antonios spoke with a thick Greek (?) accent and claimed to know over 10 languages, and was rumored to have penned dozens of books in said languages.

His handwriting on the board looked like Greek lettering, and was always verbatim what the regular teacher had told him to assign.

He regularly pleaded with the class to behave so that he could "give A plus."

If you were really good though...

If you did something to make him like you, like write someone else's name on the attendance sheet for them, or have a riveting polite conversation with him...

He would hand you a stick of Juicyfruit.




One time, he gave me a whole pack.


I almost cried.

I Love the 90's: ON DEMAND!

We run, we jump, we swim and play
We row and go on trips
But the thing that lasts forever
Are our dear friendships...

Camp Anawanna
We hold you in our hearts
And when we think about you
It makes me wanna fart!
[It's "I hope we never part," now get it right or pay the price]

Now we will share a lifetime of the fondest memories
By the Lake of Anawanna
Set in the old pine trees
Camp Anawanna We hold you in our hearts
But when we think about you
This thing came apart!

Think Ana-wanna-wanna!
Speak Ana-wanna-wanna!
Live Ana-wanna-wanna! UGH!!

A Lesson in Crowd Control

If you've ever been to a comedy show, it's likely you've encountered a heckler. Everyone's seen the Michael Richards clip where he spits racial slurs at an audience member. This is the WRONG way to handle a heckler. Well, today, we're gonna learn how to take care of one the RIGHT way, and get a couple of laughs out of it in the process. First up is a classic, Mitch Hedberg.



Next, Joe Rogan. He's a pro at being angry it seems..



An unconventional "comedian," Neil Hamburger.

Shredding

Snowboarding rules. If you ski, get out of my sight. Going down a hill sideways is 50 times more bad ass than being able to see the people to the side of you. Go take your pizza and french fries and have a bad time.


Anyone else got the Triple Major? It's a kickass pass. Just got mine the other day, and I'm balls excited.

Senbazuru (Sembazuru?)

I' not entirely sure on what is the correct spelling or meaning. I think one means one thousand and one means over one thousand. Apparently having 1,001 cranes is more lucky. Sure. What the hell is one more if you have already done 1,000.

Yeah I have not had the time to actually string these wizards together yet. I should this coming week. I have done one strand for reference. On this strand there are 50 cranes. So I need to make 19 more of these.Use you imagination to how it will look in the end.

There you are then. It has been a real great time guys. Enjoy your lives and good luck in the future.
