Back To Save The Universe

Remember how I said this blog would update sporadically? I didn't even anticipate this level of sporadic.

Either way, let's get down to business. I didn't update because I've been stressed out (college and transferring will do that to you). That's all I'm going into, because it's boring and such to complain (I hate my life, like, OMG, you have no idea)*. Seriously, no one likes a whiner.

Whatever happened to yo-yo-ing? This is a dead serious question, mind you. I mean, come on. it's an extremely fun hobby, not that expensive, and it's pretty easy to get into. There are yo-yos that automatically come back, so you can't complain that you can't learn how to yo-yo because you can never bring it back. The automatic ones are there so you learn the feel of the yo-yo.

I yo-yo (obviously). And I feel comfortable enough with my skills to do so in public. Because of this, I've come to realize something: People are FASCINATED by any amount of skill or control with a yo-yo. It is extremely weird, as I've been doing it for so long that bringing the thing back literally is a second nature/reflex. I cannot, and refuse to attempt to, fathom why people cannot bring the thing back. It's LITERALLY a flick of the wrist. LITERALLY! If you can't bring a really good yo-yo back, get the freaking beginner one and learn how! People ask me to show them how to yo-yo, and I do. They're still amazed.

Now, I'm not complaining about the amazement. Having a yo-yo and any small amount of skill with it is an excellent way to make friends and pick up ladies (or gentlemen, whatever you're into, I won't judge). But seriously, why can't you bring it back? It's not that hard to know, you can feel the tension in the string change. It takes practice.

Whoa, that almost became a rant. I'm not Foamy, so I'm not pulling that (if you don't know who Foamy is, he's a (cartoon) squirrel that rants).

One last thing about yo-yos: If they made "Wii Yo-Yo," I bet no one would be able to do it.

OTHER THINGS!

I said last time that lists are fun. Since no one comments right now, I don't know what else to list. So here's a list of things that begin with the letter "A" in no particular order.

A) Aardvark

A) Argyle Sweater Vest

A) Apple

A) Anti-Matter

A) Arbiter

A) Arch-Duke Ferdinand

A) Alligators

A) Anne Boleyn

A) Algebraic

A) Adventure Time

I think that's enough "A" words.

Wait: A) Airbag (the Radiohead song).

That's good. Yeah. That's real nice (creepy).

Anyway, today I'm going to advertise for Radiohead a little. They're my favorite band ever. The Song of the Day, interestingly enough, is "Airbag." I like everything they do.

That's all. If you read this, comment. I need ideas for future lists.
