What Shooter has been up to….

Ok, so Poprocks has pretty much bested me in a number of categories on the site already: more posts, more videos/pictures, more passion, and more hair products (get it? It’s because she is a girl). I figured I should probably combat the “more posts” category by actually making a post of my own.

Yesterday, Poprocks and I went to my college orientation at the University of Southern Indiana. It was a fun time but the actual orientation was pretty boring. I met with my advisor and he told me what classes I needed to take and stuff like that. Basically, I took on a full load and it scares the crap out of me. While last year I did well at  community college, I worry that switching to a bigger university may expose me as the not-so-good student I am used to being. One cool thing I did sign up for, however, is being a DJ at the local college radio station 820 The Edge. I need a nickname for the station and I don’t think “Shooter” is going to cut it given the fact that I am “working” for the school station. If any one (and I do mean one) has any suggestions let me know.

Also, when looking over my schedule, we were approached by a lady with a camera and were told that she was taking pictures for next years brochure and that we would be perfect for it. We were then told to “Act like we were doing what we were actually doing.” Now, I don’t know why people insist on telling people to act natural when they are taking a picture of them. Usually telling someone to act anything is going to insure that the person does the exact opposite of what they want. Next year, when the new orientation brochure comes out, you will see Poprocks and I staring blankly at my schedule and you will wonder how we ever made it to college without the ability to read.

Another thing that Poprocks and I did recently is watch the first episode of the semi-finals for the show Last Comic Standing. Surprisingly, I didn’t find many of the comedians all that funny. One stand out, and my favorite so far, would have to be Jeff Dye.

The guy is hilarious and reminds me some of Dane Cook. However, his routine seems to be a bit more structured than the hilarious Mr. Cook. I was really surprised though at some of the people who made it through to the next round. I thought “God’s Pottery” was terrible, yet they made it to the next round. It’s not so much that I found their “Christian Guidance Counselors” routine offensive (which many will but comedy is subjective) as I found it not funny. I’m really not a fan of comedy where the comedian (or comedians in this case) has to portray someone other than themselves to be funny. That’s just me though. I was also shocked at how bad the people where who made it to the semi-finals were. It was a rough start but I look forward to seeing the next group perform next week.

That’s what I have been up to lately. Reviews coming soon so don’t worry, I’m not just gonna talk about my sad, sad, sad life every post. Every other post is a different story though….
