Dilemmas for the Day.

Today at lunch I was sitting with a group of acquaintances. I arrived late to the conversation but they were talking about books. One of the people is an English major. Things I heard from this person are as follows:


  • I really don't read any books anymore. 
  • The only thing I have really read in a long time was the Harry Potter books. 
  • Why doesn't J.K Rowling just write Harry Potter books. 
  • I heard her new book wasn't good. Why would she wanna write anything other than Harry Potter?
  • Shakespeare is boring to me all the thous and thees. 
  • I just think Shakespeare is dated
  • (When I mentioned that they are actually really interesting you just have to understand the language) the person looked at me and said, "I know!! I'm not ignorant"...
Dilemma Number 1: Hold your tongue Jon!!
Don't worry! I did, as hard as it was to do so.

So I get done with class and come back to my room. Turn on the T.V and the Manchester Darby is on. For those who don't know Manchester City vs. Manchester United in football (soccer in the U.S). Either way it is a big deal. So I check ESPN and the KC Royals play at 3:10 today and that means I will have to choose between watching the second half of the Darby or the home opener for the Royals! You would think I would have to make harder choices during class...nope.

Dilemma Number 2: Baseball or Soccer??
Baseball and Soccer on the breaks! Gotta love compromise!

Also I need a behavior to change for a class assignment...what shall I choose?
And remember Kids... Carpe YOLO

Start of a Blog...but I will call you Hugo

So I don't exactly know how this thing is supposed to work overall but I figure why not take some of the crazy things in my head and put them down on...computer screen. I guess I should tell you about myself. My name is Jon and I am a college student. I am 23 years of age. I attend a college in Missouri and I am a Elementary Education Major with a minor in Theatre. I was born in New Orleans but my home is in Kansas City, MO. That is a fair amount of background for right now! You can learn more about me later just hold your horses! 

As I lay here on my most springy dorm room bed my roommate does what he most often does, sleep. I have an assignment I should probably be working on seeing as it is due in like less than 3 hours. Ya know the more I think about it I really should work on that so....I will talk with you folks later. Just remember kids Carpe YOLO.
