cracking backs

Ok sooo initially I had a hilarious video of me cracking my girlfriends best friends back for this blog post, but for some reason blogger isn't letting me upload it so I'm gonna improvise by telling what happened in the video.

After the BLVD on Saturday, My girlfriend, Lizzy, and I decided to walk back to her apartment, which is on campus, with a couple other friends to keep the party going. One friend that came with us was Maddy Foster and she is one of Lizzy's best friends, but everyone just calls her Foster, well at least I do. So we get back to the apartment and Foster is complaining about her back. So naturally I jumped to the rescue and offered to crack her back, which she excepted in hopes of relief. Note that we may or may not all been heavily intoxicated, but anyways I went ahead and picked her up and shuck her up and down a few times, which by the way looked retarted in the video because her legs were flailing everywhere. I then dropped her from a normal height but for some reason when she landed she sling shoted back into me we then both flew back a good 5 feet into a glass lamp. Yes, we did shatter the lamp and almost flew out the window off a second story building, but it was all in good drunken fun :). 
 I may have not succeeded in cracking her back, but the incident did create one hell of a funny video.  I did learn a few things from this hilarious incident thou. First, avoid cracking peoples backs when your drunk. It seems like a fun harmless thing at the time but ITS NOT! Second, I learned that my friend Garrett is very sneaky because he took the video without anyone knowing and didn't show us until the next morning . And lastly, I learned that I might have a career in lamp repairs.

Helvetica

If you haven't notice yet, the majority of my blog posts are in Helvetica. That's because Helvetica is my favorite type of typeface!!!! So to show my love for Helvetica I've devoted my whole 24th blog post to it!!!                                    

Developed in 1957 by Max Miedinger with Eduard Hoffmann, Helvetica is widely used Sans Serif typeface that changed the game for the typography industry.

Dolphins Logo Crisis

I'm a die-hard Dolpins Football fan but the new logo just simply BLOWS. I'm sorry but I had to get this off my chest because its been on my mind since the start of the this season when they revealed it. Wheres the character..??? It's as boring as it could be. It doesn't even have eyes..their just slits. I thought this was a football team in America not China.
Ok kidding but you can see my frustration over this topic. 

The old Dolphins logo had it all: style, class, a clear representation of football with its signature "M" helmet, and it appealed to both children and adults.
I'm all for innovation, but in my opinion innovation can wait until someone designs a dolphin with a bit more personality.

Sexually attracted to food... maybe yes

http://www.buzzfeed.com/mattbellassai/can-you-make-it-through-this-post-without-becoming-sexually

Was looking through Buzzfeed articles the other day and this one caught my eye. Probably because all I think about is food and eat every 3 hours but I also wanted to acknowledge the creative and comic nature that went into making this so here it is on my blog.

A SHOUT OUT FOR SMORES

Smores are one of my favorite sweet treats. Besides the fact that they are insanely good, it brings back alot of memories of mine as a child. My brother, sister, and I would go crazy even if just hearing our parents say the words smores. Mhhmmmmmmmmmmm toasted smores and a warm campfire.... What's better than that???

  

Favorite Commercial

I really like this commercial. It played at last year's superbowl. Its interesting how a motor company manages to really touch people through a commercial.

Brothers and Sisters

Check this out. One of my favorite clips. This little boy's honesty and innocence and protection for his family is a true testament to the strong bonds which tie together a brother and sister.

Sunset

I know I already posted one of these, but this picture is a perfect representation of the peacefulness and tranquility that was my summer.

Creativity

One of my oldest friends is an awesome painter. This is what she did to someone for halloween. Its really interesting to see how varied peoples creative outlets are.

Woof

                         
If you don't love golden retrievers, I judge you. Especially this one...which happens to be my Golden Retriever!! Her name is Biscuit and she just might be the best damn dog out there.

Locked out

Locked out of my house.....so I decided to climb this tree to get in through the balcony. Which was also locked....

Food Poisoning (the remake)

Did you see my earlier post about the sushi that gave me food poisoning? Did you believe it?

Gotchaa...just kidding because I actually DID get food poisoning. But here is the real picture of the sushi I ate

....not as good as the other one. But hey still pretty good for an iPhone

Wonder

John F Kennedy once said, "We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came."

There is an incredible tie one has to the ocean. It is astonishingly beautiful, yet vastly terrifying. We are drawn to the unknown. For me, there is no better place to contemplate life than on a surfboard. Though the waves are continually crashing the shore, there seems to me to be no place quieter. My dad always used to say to me, "Smooth sea never made a strong sailor."Out here amongst the tumultuous waves, there is no better place to wonder.

Pike

"A unique affinity for a group that’s hard to parallel. The shared experience combined with the sheer size of the support network, in my opinion, makes Greek brotherhood significantly different from most normal friendships.

While I hate cliches as much as the next guy, there is strength in numbers. Going though life as a team makes the whole journey both easier and more enjoyable. For various reasons, fraternities and sororities might not be for everyone, and I understand that. Even though others with superficial, misguided conceptions of what fraternal institutions are all about might scoff at this, I can confidently say that my experience as a member of a dedicated brotherhood has defined my time at college. 

As we get older, we’ll forget most of the minutiae we learned in class, most of which we’ll never use in a practical manner (unless you’re an engineer or something crazy like that). The only things that will remain relevant (other than that piece of paper with your school's name on it) will be the emotional and intellectual growth we’ve made as people and the relationships we’ve made while here."

 My attempt to slide down my stairs on an Ironing board didn't work out how I planned...

Pillsbury Dough Boy

In order to have success in advertising one must avoid selective retention. Here is an example of avoiding selective retention by using a memorable icon. This is also the first Pillsbury Doughboy commercial aired on TV.

Food Poisoning

    This is the beautiful dish that gave me food poisoning last week...
