Attacked by a Pop Star, Free Stuff and My New Friend

Everyday, I wake up at 6 in the morning and get ready for school. I wake up, grab some dry cereal because cereal and milk is nasty (yeah I said it) take a shower, get dressed and I am off to school. Once I am outside, I walk by an apartment building similar to mine. Now this building has some nice bushes that line the sidewalk. For the past week, every time I walk by this bush, a humming bird flies out to greet me. This isnt a once in a while thing, its every day. Its quite strange and I am hoping one day Ill be able to take a picture of my new best friend.

Once I get to my car (2010 Nissan Altima with the push start, no big deal), I get ready for my half hour commute to work each day. I can live with a half hour but what I cant live with in the horrible music selection. One of the dirty little secrets of moving to a new state is trying to find a decent radio station to listen to. Back home, it was easy. Here, I'm stuck with static or breezy pop hits. Now dont get me wrong, I can use a nice bubble gum pop hit every now and then but this week has been out of control. On my way to school today, I heard not one, not two, not three but four Katy Perry songs. Four. I feel like LeBron right now. What is even worse, I had those four songs on only two different radio stations. Four Katy Perry songs in one half hour. My drive to work today was ruined by this and this and then this. Dear Katy, I dont care about your fireworks, your friday night or what girls you are kissing (well, maybe). Because of Katy Perry attacking my ears every morning, I feel like I'm walking into a bad college party. From this moment Katy Perry you are banned from my life. We had a good run. We had some fun. I am through with you and your dumb songs. I hope you wake up in Vegas and leave me alone.

Now on to more happy thoughts after my rant on the one who will has been banned (screw you too Russel Brand. Play a new character in a movie besides a doped up Brit). Today, River Valley gave me even more free stuff. I got this and this from student council. Check the background of the second pic. Old habits die hard I guess. Thats all for today and I can already tell I am running out of ideas. It is going to be a long year. Til next time, stay out of the heat and watch out for scorpions (and friendly humming birds. Or unfriendly humming birds for that matter).
