Pike for Puppies

Pike for Puppies is this Thursday (november 7th) on BLVD at SMU. Plenty of puppies just like the ones you see below will be on the BLVD from 8 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It's for a great cause and seriously...who's day isn't brightened up by puppies..?

I started Pike for puppies last year because my fraternity need a philanthrophy event to stay on good standings with the school. I thought that if we had to do one of these philanthrophy events, then why not one that would actually get alot of attention with the entire student body. So I started Pike for puppies because no one can resist an adorable little puppy. Not only does the event raise awareness, but a few puppies even get adopted.

Halloween

DaVerse Lounge

DaVerse Lounge's performance last thursday was incredible!! It had flare, depth and a great message. I took away that I too could be interested in stand-up poetry, but what really grabbed my eyes were the stunning flips that one of the gentlemen was performing. Not only was he just doing flips, but reciting poetry at the same time!! Amazing!! I've always wanted to learn how to do flips like he was doing, and his performance has motivated me enough to start practicing. The video below is a tutorial for how to do a b-twist flip, which is one of the flips he used in his performance. This is going to be the first flip that I attempt to learn.

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

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.
