Unprejudiced Singers

I SAW GARTH BROOKS LAST NIGHT!! I know probably half of you don't really care, and the other half of you probably doesn't care even more, but I had a lot of fun. And even though we were two hours and fifteen minutes late thanks to Greg's not so direct directions, we saw all his good stuff. It's really a cool show, though it doesn't compare
to STOMP!!.
On the way back, Erick and I are singing a capella in his car, and when we get done, he asks me something like "How many keys did we just sing in?" I counted at least 3, but probably closer to 5. Anyway, to this Erick says...


Quote Of the Day 4/5

"We're not note prejudiced. We want to get all the notes in, no matter what key they're in. We're equal opportunity song killers."
-Big Sucky



I also wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter, though most won't get this message until afterward anyway. Also, you can thank Erick for Easter this year. The Easter Bunny darted right out in front of our car, and he managed to just barely avoid a near traumatic death bunny incident.


Going to Old Dominion in my mind,
Dustin.

Not Necessarily a Saying

Well, I've figured out the number of consecutive days I can go without more than 3 hours sleep before I start losing severe motor control. It's around 8. So don't expect me to be too coherent. I just hope I don't fall asleep at Garth Brooks tonight. Oh, and Laura, just wanted to tell you that not only am I at least half of that, but I'm all of that. And the nine of diamonds!

This quote was kind of funny when it happened and I hope it still is now. But hey, they can't all be gems. Anyway, a few of us were over at Eddie's place and I asked why his long line of lights had a few bulbs in the wrong place. For example, when all the green ones were shining, there was like one bright pink one in the mid-center. He told me that his friend gave them to him as a present and thought it would be rude to second-guess him by changing them. In his mind...


Quote Of the Day 4/4

"The way I figure it is you can't look a gift light in the bulb."
-Eddie Swanson

The Priority of Wiping

If I wasn't before, now I am thoroughly convinced that my suitemates have tapped our room. I swear they have a microphone in there somewhere because everytime I tell Billy I'm about to jump in the shower, I hear someone sprint in the other side and lock the door really fast and turn on the shower. And this was at like 2:00 in the afternoon. And I think the entire population of our floor showers in there because I know BJ and Dinari don't shower 3 times a day each. They just don't look that clean.

Anyway, this quote is from video class and if you don't get it, it's probably funnier. But it was said by Matt Fullcheron (the head Pimp-Daddy) and I still don't know why I was the only one laughing. Maybe I'm just too damn smart or something.


Quote Of the Day 4/3

"Doing a wipe isn't high on my priority list."
-The Original Pimp-Daddy

Sleeping With the Television Off

So this is the fifth sunrise in a row I've seen. It’s kind of discouraging to try to go to bed when birds are chirping and the sun has already started on its way around the earth. I'm lucky I've never been one for sleep anyway.
Did anybody do anything cool for April Fool's Day? I didn't. I couldn't think of anything cool enough and I didn't have enough duct tape to hold Billy to the bed for any significant period of time. But who says it has to be April Fool's Day to play a joke on somebody? Don't be surprised if one of you gets a prank pulled on him or her sometime. I don't need an excuse.
So Kentucky won. hooray. Like who didn't know they would? And do you know what kind of personal hell Sedge would be living in if they didn't? Everybody on campus would remind him. It would have been great. Oh well.

This quote comes from basically everybody up on third south, but Earl was the one to say it to me. And the reason it's funny is because it's so true...


Quote Of the Day 4/2

"Ever since you moved back, we've been seeing a lot less of you."
-Earl


I never promised anything Earl. And it doesn't look like things are going to get any better for you (assuming that seeing me is better than not, which isn't always true).


Sleeping With the Television Off,
Dustin.

Homeless Stomper

First of all, I'd like to make a formal apology to Laura because I really hit her hard in the last quote. You just have to understand that that's the way I deal with the bad things that happen to me. I just think of a time when my life was worse and suddenly I feel better (kidding again).

Feel the love.

Anyway, I'd also just like to say that I screwed up in my last message and I put it as "quote of the day 3/29" in the header, but I labeled it as "Quote Of the Day 4/1" in the body. Well, it really was the make up one from last Friday, and this is the one from today so that I'm all caught up. And I'd also like to elaborate on that dancing with the homeless thing because it was pretty funny. The night after STOMP!!, a few of us tried to go see Everyday @ Six in Baltimore somewhere. As you've probably figured out by now, we got lost. So we decided to stop at the inner harbor. There was this wooden stage set up, and having the STOMP!! energy still running through me, I jumped up there and started doing STOMP!!. Two other members of our party joined me. But the coolest thing was when this homeless guy came by whistling to the beat and then started banging on the side. Eventually, he came up and joined us. It was quite cool and we paid him for the show.

Well, Suzanne, though new, is fighting her way toward the resident foot-in-mouth expert herself. I've found that its funniest when the innocent types do this to themselves. So she might not remember saying this last night, but you can all still appreciate it.


Quote Of the Day 4/1 (the real one)

"Wait. Stop. I can't handle both of you at once."
Oh Suzanna! (out of breath and talking to me and Eddie).


Bathing in the puddle of spite,
Extendo.
