College is going great. I am having such a great time and I am loving every second of it. Now, for some more college experiences. Last night, there was a big rain storm. It was raining and lightening and it was awesome. It was only Bradan and myself home at the time, and I was watching the storm through our patio window. A flash of lightening lit the northern sky, and I said, "I hope the power goes out," because I love it when the power goes out. Right when I was placing the period on the sentence, the lights dim and the TV shuts off. It immediately came back up, but Bradan was right in the middle of a game on his PS3 and it was cut short. It took me a couple seconds to realize exactly what happened, with my impeccable timing and the frustration of a lost game, but I laughed really hard when everything clicked. Bradan and I didn't go to bed til four, and slept til 11. Today, I finished my homework in spurts, a little here and a little there, while playing some Super Mario Brothers on the Super Nintendo. I kinda suck, and Bradan just laughed the whole time. Skipping a few hours til early evening, after the FHE BBQ, Luke decided to use his free RedBox rental, and Bradan, Luke, and I drove to Wal-mart to redeem the coupon. The drive was the best part; we put on the ping pong song- or "Do You Know What it Feels Like" by Enrique Iglasius- and were singing to it at the top of our lungs. But, the RedBox at Wal-mart was disfunctional and not working, so we had to drive to McDonalds to the other RedBox. Down Main Street, we sang "Sweetness" by Jimmy Eat World. We got "21" and drove back to our apartment. We used Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" to keep our vocal cords fresh. When we got back, Jake was eating his hamburgers he had made on the George Foreman (he had football practice and couldn't make it to the BBQ for FHE). The four of us were talking- Snow Bird hadn't gotten back yet- and Luke's phone goes off. His ring tone is the Power Ranger beeping call. It brought up many childhood memories. Jake was pro at the Power Rangers. He remembered all their names and all their animals, and even remembered the seasons. Bradan propped up his computer, and we searched up Power Rangers on YouTube and watched the first episode of Power Rangers. It was awesomely lame. 90's hair and cloths, cheap acting, and awful punch lines, but it was great to remember the classics. Skipping a few more hours til late evening, we were just sitting around, talking about whatever came up, and it reminded me of a time, merely days before, when we were sitting around, playing catch phrase. It was mainly Bradan, Jake, myself, and sometimes Luke. An earlier word was tennis, and Luke had Jake answer by saying, "Its a game we played earlier today." On my turn, the word was tennis racket, or something related to tennis, and I looked at Jake and said, "Its a game you played earlier," for the first word. He then said, "Spin the bottle?" Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I dropped the game- I was only sitting on the love sac- and asked him what did he say? He blushed and got embarrassed and insisted he hadn't played that game. I guess we will take his word for it. Back to the present.... While we were having our random conversation, Bradan jumped off the kitchen chair and jumped Luke, starting another UFC fight. They were all over, and in so many awkward positions. Bradan rammed Luke into the couch, Luke ripped the stretchy band off of Bradan's underwear and pulled it around his head, and Luke punched Bradan in the... ha ha ha. Bradan wants me to clarify, that out of the three rounds, he won the first and third one. The second one was lost by the torn undies... The funniest thing was that during the third round, Luke had secretly taken off his underwear, so when Bradan went for revenge, he got a face full of Luke butt. And that was when Luke reared back and punched Bradan in the... ha ha ha. Bradan, holding on to reality because of the adrenaline, grabbed the fleeing Luke's ankle, tripping Luke into the couch and holding onto the arm for dear life. The brawl exited the front door, where Bradan's adrenaline ran out, and he collapsed in front of the soda machine. Finally, they made peace... for the night. We sat around talking about other fights we had been in/seen/heard of. Bed time finally came, and Luke decided to take a midnight (well... one-o'clock) shower. Bradan hid his pillows, and Bird put a football under his mattress. Bradan locked our bedroom door, and, as expected, Luke pounded on it after he had gotten out of the shower. He finally found all his pillows, and was laying in his bed, when it started to roll around because of the ball. He came back into our room, football drawn and ready to strike. He assumed it was Bradan, and they got into another scrimmage, but smaller in size. Luke's butt was in Bradan's face, and Bradan reached around and hit Luke in the... ha ha ha. Luke ran over to Bradan's bed and tore it apart. The upset, revenge-struck Luke walked back into his room, with Jake yelling at him to go to bed. After reviewing the events of the day, and the memorable times from previous, I decided to blog. Here ya go.

oh my heck. can I just tell you I read that entire thing in the lounge of one of the buildings on campus and I seriously started crying because I had to hold in my laughter. I kind of actually wish I could hear you and Bradan and Luke and Jake telling the story because then it would be so much more funny and you would probably reenact the entire debacle.
Oh man. . . good times at Snow. Livin' the good life.
