Things I loved, lived and learned in 2006
Well, the year’s about to end and that means everyone is given the dosage of “remember this past year” in the media. I don’t see why this blog should be any different, so here’s my list — in no particular order — of things in the past year.
+ Save the cheerleader, save the world.
+ The Nintendo Wii is more fun. And cuter.
+ Breakfast tacos are delicious at any time of the day.
+ Chuck Norris doesn’t sleep, he waits. Also, in his spare time he writes a column.
+ The Booze News isn’t afraid to take on University of Illinois administration, especially when it comes to Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day.
+ If you’re white and Greek, you probably shouldn’t dress up as pregnant Mexicans for your fraternity/sorority exchange party.
+ Superman is Bryan Singer’s personal Jesus.
+ Publishing the controversial Muhammad cartoons in a campus paper can be — you guessed it — controversial.
+ My parents care more about my hair cut than my GPA.
+ News feeds freak out Facebook users. In fact, 111,126 people will sign a petition against these changes.
+ Student papers might want to consider “selling out” to “the man.”
+ Evanston native Jeremy Piven should learn his audience at Assembly Hall, unless he wants to get booed off the mic.
+ The Springfield weather gods will freeze your car in ice, cut off your power and destroy trees. Also, the garage door can be opened using a string.
+ I should have voted Josh Jennings for Congress…
+ … And Tim Nieukirk was worth getting Nieuked over, even if he is in bed with my sister.
+ The University Police are on Facebook. Also, some of these officers “hate posers who don’t have the right to whine and cry.”
+ The Billy Goat Tavern doesn’t have fries, only chips.
+ Being a YouTube star isn’t always great for your career. Just ask Aleksey Vayner.
+ Rich McBride is a member of the crunk nation.
+ The Jack Bauer hour of power makes Monday’s tolerable.
+ Ron Zook might not be able to win football games, but he can have one tricked out ride on the field.
+ The Star Wars Legos video game is a joy to play.
+ Posting photos of yourself doing failing the Milk Challenge will be mocked by your friends, mentioned by your parents and brought up during job interivews on multiple occassions.
