Better Late Than Never/The Most Interesting Man In The World

Hey guys... long time no see... again. I'm sorry, I really am... I've just been a bookworm lately. But it's paying off! I got a B- on my first Child Psych test that i mentioned last time, which is not up to par with what I wanted, but still pretty good in general. And get this... I was having trouble with my math class, I felt like i didn't understand the material. A test was coming up. So I went to a tutoring session before the test, and studied with a good friend of mine who's in the same class as me. So I took the test and held my breath over the weekend... I got so nervous when my professor started handing out the test. He handed me my test back so that i couldn't see the grade yet, but when he handed it to me he said "Good job"...so i was like "Huh?" I was almost sure I did bad. So I turned the test over... and I see a nice big red "91%" written on it. I was ecstatic... I aced a test that I thought I might have failed! Woo! So far things are looking good for me academically... I had a sociology test on Tuesday that I'm sure I did good in, and I did my first graded speech on Wednesday. It was about Mohawks. I know what you just thought. You thought "Wait a minute Rubes, do you mean the Mohawk tribe or the Mohawk haircut?" Both, my good sir or madame. I talked about the way the hairstyle originated and also how it has been popular in recent decades in pop culture. It went well, I showed some cool Mohawk pictures as visual aids... to aid my audience... visually.

So last night I went out to dinner with my 2 fave Californians and a few other friends, including 2 other Californians who are visiting NYC this weekend. It's kinda awesome how small a world it is... you see, one of the visiting Californians is an immediate relative of one of the New York Giants! The best football team in all the land! Lulz... I'm a huge fan.. and she's related to one of my fave players. Pretty sick... and the other visiting Californian's father went to my high school way back when! That's crazy... small world, indeed.

So I want to share with you one of the most hilarious advertising campaigns ever... It's for Dos Equis. There spokesperson is "The Most Interesting Man in the World," a fictitious 50 or 60 something year old Latino man who is apparently very wealthy, suave, and of course, interesting... He's a Chuck Norris type figure, with similar legends about him, such as "It is said, he never looks up at the stars and wonders... because he already knows," and "Police often question him... just because they find him interesting." Lulz... I found a compilation of all of his Dos Equis commercials on YouTube... it's pretty funny... check it out, homes....



Rofl... epic.

I think I'll end this post with that... I'll try to post more often, but I make no guarantees folks... school is my main priority, na mean!? Ha... later.
