Pink Eye: Worlds Best Excuse
The ‘I Forgot About Class’ Dream
We’re back, dear readers, after our one-week hiatus. And there’s nothing like time off to recharge the batteries, refresh the mind, and, well, come back with a variety of things to discuss with you all. First on this list is a dream that I had this weekend, one that terrifies me to my very soul. And for some reason, it’s one that everyone I know has. It’s the dream where you’re in school and you completely forget about a class for like three months, only to wake up one morning absolutely screwed. Let’s discuss…
Out for the Week

What follows is another batch of random thoughts to help get you through your Friday. Enjoy and add your own in our comments section if you want.
I Just Want A Tan
All right look. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired of being sunburned, then peeling, then burning again. And then after all is said and done, being only slightly darker than when I started the whole process.

There’s just something to be said for getting away from it all and watching an action-packed thriller, a classic comedy, or even a well-done chick flick. But the one thing I don’t want to see in a movie is something too ridiculous to happen in real life. Unless I’m checking out Aliens, I want to be able to relate. And this is precisely why I don’t understand the car chase. I know, I know. They’re awesome. Well, here are some reasons to consider why they’re not.
Misguided Childhood Dreams: Cowboy
When I was growing up, my family was always a big fan of Westerns. Cowboys riding around, shooting at stuff constantly. It seemed awesome. So, of course, I wanted to be a cowboy when I got all growed up. Little did I know how stupid that really was.

Quick Hitters
As it’s Friday again, we Birds know that you all are usually ready to get out of the office as soon as possible. That means more work and less Internet time. So we’re here to accommodate with a bunch of short, quick-hitting thoughts that you can take with you on the road this weekend. Read a few. Read em all. And as always, share your thoughts with us before you go.
Yeah, I Play a Little
So I constantly think of sweet stuff I could do at parties to make everyone look over and say, “wow, that dude is awesome,” and also have girls look over and say, “not only is that dude incredible and awesome, but I’d like to do stuff with him.” That’s why I want to know how to play instruments.
