Y'omeskillet! Last night was epic... I saw Maroon 5 in concert at St. John's with my sis and gf!..!! They were great, every song was awesome from beginning to end. They even turned one of their songs into a country song, and covered an Alicia Keys song. Awesomeness. Oh and guess what? No, really guess...........Nope, you're wrong. The actor Jason Seigel from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "How I Met Your Mother" opened for Maroon 5! Zomg he was hilarious, and he gave out his number in his last song. After the concert we got some crepes.... no, we're not in France... there's a crepes place right off campus. My crepe was delicious, it was a s'more crepe, graham cracker, chocolate, marshmallows and all. So overall last night was overflowing with win.
So, today is my open mic... as time inches closer to my time to perform, i cant help but feel a little nervous. But that's normal, homes.... I just gotta overcome whatever anxiety I may have... Blissful Anxiety.... lulz. I hope a lot of my friends come out to see me play, that would be great.
Now I've been listening to Maroon 5 for the past few minutes... I realized last night that I knew a lot more songs of theirs than I thought I knew. They're a pretty good band.
It's real nice out today... this weather is weird, there's like 20 degree differences between one day and the next o_0. Well..this post's fuel tank is around E....so I think I'll fill her up and hit the road again another day. Later =)

Update On My Life, Which Idk What To Do With
Hey guys.... Benny Rubes here. I feel like that would be a cool stage name for me, Benny Rubes. I took another hiatus from posting as you guys (all 4 of you) may have noticed. Well here's an update on what's been goin's on in my life since the last post:
I'm still doing good in school, but the work is getting harder and there's more work to do =/ but that's expected. The Yankees are champs once again =D *Plays "Empire State of Mind"*. I perform at the open mic tomorrow... wooo! Can't wait for that homes.... I just hope the act before me isn't too hard to follow >_<. I still have to pick out an oufit, which I've been having trouble doing so far. Maybe I just should wear anything, then I'll be most comfortable. Nah, chill... but it should be fun. I'm bringing my frisbee. The pool club i tried to start got denied without explanation by St. John's student government. Smh -_-.... it's whatevs... I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
This weekend has been awesome so far... last night I went to this peace and love gathering on campus. 'Twas a lot of fun, we hung out for a while on the Grrrrrrrrreat Lawn in front of the library. I literally didn't know anyone there except for one kid who was in my English class last year, but by the end of the night I had made a ton of new friends. A few people including myself brought guitars to play, that was a lot of fun. I showed my new peace and love friends some of my songs and they liked them, so that was cool. I'm gonna be performing my two fave original songs tomorrow, Blissful Anxiety and Make You Happy. I still feel like Make You Happy needs to be fine tuned a little more but I have to wait until midday of the morrow to do that.
So Idk what I want to do for a career guys... I'm in college as a Psych major and creative writing minor, but both of those fields are hard to break into and very competitive, so Idk really. I was thinking of looking into becoming a Physician Assistant. Idk, I'm just very uncertain when it comes to that. I think I should just do what I love and try not to worry about all the particulars for now. But in the back of my mind I just feel like I'm not gonna land a job out of college, or at least not a good one. Yarg.
Anyways it's 2:13 in the morning.... and I'm not the least bit tired. I'm actually getting slightly hungry, even after my s'mores crepe... zomg it was awesome. I have nothing else to write about really... not feeling very random tonight. So i guess I'll later guys you see... Reese's Peaces =).

Fedoras Are Awesome/Tokidoki!/Weird Sports Names
Hey guys.... Uncle Rubes is back again, like Michael Jordan in '96.... or like Jay-Z after his "retirement"... or like Brett Favre in '09,'08,'07.... lulz. LALALALA - that's me being bored. I have nothing to do, homes.... I bought a fedora from my gf's job. It's quite awesome. look:
Love that hat, mayneeeee. I feel like a combination of a mobster, a reporter from the Roaring Twenties, and Ne-Yo in that hat. The fedora... invented by the Germans in 1904.... lol. I think fedoras are just ridiculously cool looking...they can make anyone look so suave and sophisticated. It's like God's gift to the human head. I swear, a fedora can even make animals look like they're the shit.... don't believe me? Check this out:
Let's see, what did I do this weekend... I went to a halloween party/concert as the devil if he were a rock star. It was extremely ironic that the event was at a church and I came in as the devil.... I kinda expected God to smite me when i walked in the door. Here's me as the devil/rock star:
So that was fun... next day i went to the city and chilled with the girlf and y'omeslice.... you know who you are, y'omeslice. Zomg.... something pretty hilarious happened when me and my girlfriend went into Borders. My gf saw some Tokidoki toys and exclaimed "Tokidoki!" when she saw them. Just as she pointed to they toys and said "Tokidoki," an Asian man walked between us and the toys, so it looked liked she made a racist joke and called him tokidoki. I could have sworn I saw him look back, but idk if he did. That would be too freakin' hilarious if he got offended by what she said... rofl.
So Sunday was cool, then today I just had the usual super early classed and chilled out after running some errands and buying some food from C Town.... I feel like that should be a name of a rap group rather than a supermarket, haha, "C Town," sounds like an all-Crip neighborhood.
Speaking of baseball, the Yankees are in the World Series again! Wooo! We're facing the team with the 2nd most boring name in baseball: The Philadelphia Phillies -_-. I speak for many a fan when I say:
Yeah, that's right, c'mon, son! I feel like based on just their team name, the Phillies should not win. I mean, the Yankees aren't called "The New York New Yorkers." The only team with a shittier, more boring name than the Phillies are the Oakland A's. Many years ago, I kinda thought the name "Oakland A's" sounded cool, until I found out that that "A" stood for "Athletics." How boring can you be with a name for a team? I mean I understand that the name was created back in the earlier days of baseball, but I feel like it's just so bland and drab. It's pretty redundant, too. Everyone knows that if you're on the A's, you're athletic. You don't see the "Chicago Baseball Players" or the "Memphis Major Leaguers" anywhere. Or, for that matter, the "San Francisco Steroid Abusers." ZING!
Disclaimer: That was a shot mainly directed towards Barry Bonds, not the entire San Francisco Giants team.
I'll tell you a couple of names that I do love in baseball, though. My fave name ever for a baseball player is "Coco Crisp." NOT making that up, google it if u doubt it. I'm not sure what team he plays on now but he played for the Red Sox a few years ago. Another hilarious name in baseball is "Milton Bradley," you know, like the board game company.
Speaking of the Tennessee Titans, they possess the best named player in all of sports. They have a tight end whose name is "Bo Scaife." That name is amazing. Say it fast. Doesn't it sound fawesome? I know what you're thinking, and no, I didn't spell awesome wrong. Funny + Awesome = Fawesome. There's some math for you guys from Professor Rubes....specializing in a new type of math, awesometry =). Here's some more math for yall's chilluns.... 'tis half-past 12 and I need to be in class at 7:30, in a little less than 7 hours. So on that note, I'm gonna write for another hour. Sike! I'm gonna end this post...fungowwww, RIGHT NOW! Ha... That last joke probably went way over your head, like Scott Kazmir's throw to first base in Game 6 of the ALCS! SUNY ZINGhamton.... later.

Unbelievable
Last night i found something out pretty devastating. You see, I have a friend who lived in my building who is a year younger than me or so. During his teen years he got involved with the wrong crowd. From what I heard, he began selling drugs and hanging out with gangs and such... we didn't hang out much during our teen years, but whenever I did see him I said what's up and asked him how he was doing. I found out last night that he got arrested... on murder charges. The story, in a nutshell, is that my friend and his crew or whatever had beef with some other crew. So after a fight or something like that my friend and his crew went to their enemies' neighborhood. When they went into the neighborhood my friend had a gun on him, and fired a shot into the air. The bullet he fired hit a 92 year old woman, and killed her. I'm still in shock. I can't even comprehend that this really happened. He got caught and arrested, and will probably be convicted and sentenced to life in jail, or worse. I fucking grew up with this kid. I can't believe this.... this tragedy should and could have been avoided. This kid didn't have to go down the road he went, and now a matriarch of a neighborhood is gone because of his actions. It's a damn shame.... I just hope that he doesn't get the death penalty. I know he did something absolutely terrible... but i know he was a good kid. I've known him since we were little kids... its despicable what he did, I admit, and he deserves whatever sentencing he gets, but at the same time, why did it have to be him? Why the fuck of all people did he have to do something this bad? I'll be praying for him... and for the repose of the soul of the murdered woman... I'll see you guys later. Peace.

The Blog Post Formerly Known As Prince
Rawr! 'Tis I, the almighty Rubes, broadcasting live from the St. John's library once again! Man, things are looking up! I can't wait until next week, homie skillz.... so I once again got caught up with my schoolwork, I actually stayed up 'til 3ish in the morning to finish an essay >_<. But homes, I am so glad i finished it! You don't understand, two nights ago I was stressed as hell... I had a midterm to study for that next morning as well as a term paper to write due this morning. So i studied my ass off for the test... and it was kind ridiculous how easy it turned out to be. I had writer's block for a while and kept putting off my essay until the last minute...procrastination FTL... but fear not, ye brethren! I finished the essay like i said a little after 3 this morning. And I'm confident that it will get me a good grade, so better late then never. So class starts in precisely 18 minutes.... this is a good way to kill time, seeing as I have nothing else to do. Na mean?! Ha, haven't said that in a long time.
So in other news... Yankees are looking good, if I'm not mistaken they're one win away from going to the World Series =). Oh! how can I forget! I got a new piercing! Yup... I did it yesterday afternoon. It's a lip ring, check it out:
What do you think of it? I think its awesome... i wanna get a hoop ring to go around my lip, but I have to wait 3 weeks before I take this one out. The only sucky part is that I have to get used to eating with it.... it actually feels really awesome to drink cold beverages with it, but solid food is a bit of a bitch with a lip ring. Countdown to class: 11 minutes... wow, i wrote quite a bit for only 20 minutes.
So in a nutshell, my world is almost perfect. I have an awesome gf ;), I'm doing well in school, great fam and friends, what more could I ask for? Well, now that I mentioned it, I'll answer my own question. I am lacking in one area, and that, my good friends, is exercise. Rubes' Weight Loss Challenge has been practically non-existent. I still feel like I'm slowly gaining weight ='(. So if there's any one area I need to improve on in my life, it's definitely that area. I'm looking into going to the Cross Fit class on campus. Cross Fit is a high intensity, military style workout. I'm impatient when it comes to exercise, and this workout gives fast results, so I think it would pay off for me to give it a try. I'm not too scared of the workouts. I mean Idk if I can last through the whole class or not, but I figured if I can do 2 years of football, this can't be too out of reach. Well, i gotta start walking over to class, but I'm definitely glad to write to you guys... Later, Darth Vader alligator escalator fumigator terminator!

Fear
Hey dudes.... zomg... I saw Paranormal Activity a couple of nights ago. Holy shit, man.... that movie was ridiculously scary... like, truly frightening. What gets me is that its such a simple concept, yet it induces real fear in millions of people. I'm not gonna say anything revealing about the movie, but just know that you're probably gonna be spooked for days on end.
I noticed a pattern of fear... like, how fear is created. It all stems from what I like to call "fear of the unknown." It could be anything... it could be fear of death, ghosts, welfare of children, a bad neighborhood, it all stems from not being sure of something. For example, people fear death because they don't know for sure what will happen to their being after they die. Just about every religion has a belief about the afterlife, but not one person knows for sure. Simple, yet powerful stuff... every horror movie I've ever seen feeds off of fear of the unknown. I think FDR said it best, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself."
I JUST missed catching 11:11....fml. Giants play today against the Saints... Giants are undefeated and I think the Saint are too. This been a good year for sports for me.... Yankees up 2-0 in the ALCS, Giants undefeated... nice. All I need is for the Knicks to do good for a change and then I'll be set. I think I'll catch you guys another time... I got writer's block =(. Later.

LeTz Go DoDgErZzZzZZzZZ
Y'omes.... I'm so bored... like ridiculously bored. So now I'm writing this to defer my boredom. iTunes on shuffle, baseball on TV, girlf on AIM, and a cup of tea... sounds like a good night at the dorm... its just i've been cooped up all day long here... I hate being in the same place for a really long time, especially by myself. BUTTSCRATCHER?! Anyways, I didn't do much today... it was definitely a terrible day weather wise. I've been doing nothing since like, 5.... FML. I would have done something with my day but the weather has been so shitty.. it's depressing. Well on the bright side I see the girlf tomorrow =). Then I'm gonna see Paranormal Activity with her the next day! Zomg I wanna see it so bad... so many people have told me its the scariest movie they've ever seen. It's selling out literally everywhere... I need to go see it... like, now. I recently discovered a band that was gathering dust in my iTunes library.... The Fall Of Troy. They're pretty sick... I listened to a few of their songs and liked some of them a lot but never listened to all of their songs. That's what I'm doing now.
Btw, about my post title.... I'm not a Dodger fan. I just copied and pasted a stupid sounding status on facebook.. lulz. Lets take a look at some more of my fb friend's statuses that are worth mentioning:
"My vag is for the V.I.P., yo vag is for the world to see"
"I be tossin, enforcin, my style is awesome"
"I see snow flakes"
"must. finish. paper. before.....the office."
Lmao...nice.
There's not much to write about, as you can see... I can't wait until my guitar lessons start... that's gonna be awesome.... I'm writing a new song. That song is top secret btw... i shall release no details about it until it's done. Na mean?! Anyway... I'm gonna end this post.. I'm not in the writing mood i guess... I'll ttyl, homie skillz... later.
