Stuff from Billy’s brain.
What are the chances? I’ve never found a used birthday card before in my life. Tonight, after dinner, I found one in a parking lot. I picked it up and read it, since it had no name in it, other than who it was from (Ms. Something, I forget the name), I pretended it was for me, enjoyed it for a bit, then placed it back on the ground where I found it. Sweet!
Oh, the part that makes this awesome is that today is my birthday.
Hello INTERNETS! I was watching a little video on YouTube, and saw this great response to a video:
So I clicked through to the user’s profile. He’s got an extensive collection of videos identical to this one, all in praise of good videos. Awesome stuff. Check them out here.
So I was just thinking about something that completely blew my mind. You know those tests most people take at some point in their schooling that supposedly reveal your ideal jobs or career based on your interests and such? Well, I had one of those when I was either a freshman or sophomore in high school. I remember thinking it was one of the most ridiculous things I had been required to do, since I already knew that my ideal job was doing nothing, but getting money anyway.
Anyway, I filled it out honestly, and the software returned one option: coach. I just laughed it off at the time, thinking of a team coach, like basketball. I hate coaching team sports, so I dismissed it and went on with my life. Now, double the years in my life from that point and what do you know…I’m a wakeboard coach and it’s my dream job! Go figure.
Being in the Bible Belt, I’ve noticed some minor changes in what occurs at church, so I took my video camera along with me.
Whenever I hear someone say “Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start” I feel sorry for them. Mostly though, I laugh because I know they had no friends when they were trying to beat Contra or Life Force or any other Konami game back in the day.
The way I’ve got it in my head is:
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select Start
Don’t know what I’m talking about? That’s a shame.
