My Christmas(break) Story

The funny thing about home is, whenever I return to it in Foley, MN, it's like I'm entering a different life. Things suddenly slow down, walking everywhere isn't an option so the car becomes a necessity, and something as simple as watching a movie turns into a big event.

As I drove home for Christmas this year, I looked forward to these things, but tried as hard as I could to pack my schedule to avoid lulls in the long days.

Miley Cyrus deleted Twitter? Who cares? She announced it with a rap? hmm...

Miley Cyrus deleted her twitter page, using this rap to announce it. I was shown it once, and it annoyed me. I saw it a second time, and I was fed up with the young singer. For a girl who claims to have never listened to Jay-Z, despite mentioning him in "Party in the USA" (someone else wrote it for her), she seems to be taking a lot of liberties with attempting to rap here. So underneath the embedded video, I posted my own lyrics. Enjoy.

Stories

It's been a busy week, with plenty happening to keep my life busy.

Among other things, I have been accosted by facebook spam through the kind gesture of two Augsburg friends who clearly didn't want to study. I have also been participating in another puppy dog mishap, along with the "pressures" of finals that college allows. Within this same time frame, I also had the opportunity to cover the NCAA volleyball Regional tournament in Minneapolis, watching the Minnesota Gophers advance to the Final Four, where they will be headed this week.

All these topics have stories, hence the name of today's blog.
