What is it with this Humans v. Zombies shenanigans?

So much for there being fabulous weather all weekend. I apologize for falsely saying that Mother Nature had served up exceptional weekend for the entire weekend because as most of you surely know it was rather crappy today. Misting rain along with sub 60 degree temps made it quite irritating to be walking around outside today.

Prior to all of the negative energy brought upon us Ohioans today, as I was walking around outside with a few of my cronies on our way to my roommates' brothers' place to hang out I noticed two very peculiar things. They made me ask myself, do these people know how ridiculous they look?

I am not sure if you all know about the recent phenomenon that is Human v. Zombies at The Ohio State University. Let me bring you up to speed a little bit. It started back in fall quarter this past year, and started back up one week ago. Everyone who wants to play can, and as far as I know some people start as Humans and others as Zombies. Humans can defend themselves with an array of Nerf guns and go on various "missions" during the week that can go to the wee hours of the morning. Zombies are invited to chase/ambush other humans and "tag" them to cause them to become Zombies as well. And I guess the last guy who is a human wins. Who knows.

Anyways, as we were walking down Lane Ave last night we saw two separate instances where a pair of Humans were walking with something that looked like a glorified cardboard box. Rigged up with some PVC pipe, some saran wrap and tape, I later learned that it was known as a Hummer after I took a picture of it and showed it to my buddy who is playing on my floor. It was a way for them to defend themselves, and I thought it was absolutely hysterical. I mean really guys? You're taking this that seriously? I wanted so badly to just go up and ask them how many hours it took them to complete this thing. After learning that answer I was then going to ask them what major they were in to see if they were in one that required a lot of time and work (engineering, etc.). But I kept my mouth shut except for laughing at them. I couldn't help myself.

These shenanigans are getting a little out of hand I think, because I have seen so many people running around with Nerf guns in their hands or bandanas on their heads. It's just getting absolutely outrageous. But hey, if that's how you wanna spend your spring quarter have at it. Do whatever floats your boat.

In other news, last night could be described in one word: nuts-or any other words that are synonymous with nuts. Woodfest 2011 was hopelessly broken up by the cops with their mace and pepper spray. It was disturbing, tragic, and beyond interesting for everyone. Any other questions on it watch this video.

Oh, and by the way for all you Reds fanatics out there like me can I get a whoop whoop? Break out the brooms! Sweet sweep of the Cardinals this weekend leading to a 1 1/2 game lead in the Central. LEZZZGOOOO!

Marketplace: so much closer when its not raining

Alright, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you all on this one: if you don't go to The Ohio State University, or have never visited (and when I say visited I mean stayed over a night and ate with someone during the day) you more than likely will have no idea what in the world I'm going to talk about right now. As for all my fellow Buckeyes who may read this, including the two that I enjoyed a delightful dinner at Marketplace with tonight, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. So needless to say, proceed at your own risk. If you think you'll get bored or annoyed or anything of that nature, here is something else you can do to entertain yourself. Ok, so first off let me start by saying that being a member of North Campus has both its positives and negatives, much like every other living place on campus. The positives are (from the way I see them) as follows: close to essentially all the main buildings where classes are, close to High St. and Lane Ave., ...

Missing the Old Days

It's been a few days since my last post, but my life had been less than exciting between then and now until last night so I didn't really see a reason to post. As I awoke this morning and popped two brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts into the toaster I turned on the TV for the typical start to my day-breakfast and Sportscenter. At commercial, I started surfing through those beloved Time Warner Cable channels that my family and I have been stuck on for who knows how long. I went all the way up to the upper 50s and stopped at 57 when I saw members of the scarlet and gray running onto the field at Iowa. Intrigued, it only took me a few seconds to realize that the Big Ten Network was showing their program known as Big Ten in 60, a quick run through of either football or basketball games in 60 minutes, and that this morning's flavor was this past season's game between Ohio State and Iowa. This was a game in which, as I'm sure we all remember, the Buckeyes were in a fight all...

Gummi Bears

So, my sister is home as you know, and being typical Carmen she has had her cravings regarding sweets. And of course, she is not afraid to voice them. It was late yesterday afternoon/evening when my mother and I were going through my closet cleaning out old shirts and what not when she came into my room and sat on my bed just to make her presence known. It didn't take her long to find an old (and I mean old) box of unopened Nerds candy. Quickly springing into action she snatched them up and asked me if she could have them. I said sure, noting the fact that she had mentioned to me numerous times how all she wanted was gummi bears or some sort of sweet candies. My dear sweet mother, the amazing woman that she is, brought home some gummi bears tonight for her daughter. She alerted me to this right away, but I did not get the text message until about an hour after she sent it to me as I was indisposed at that moment. I had stopped by my best friends house for dinner after a run and had...
