Time Travel

Well let’s go off the theory of Timecop that no two beings can occupy the same space. So what would I do, most of this would be for fun.

First off a quick hope to about 2001 where I'd kick my own ass for dating that one girl in high school and for some other unmentionables that I did. Maybe a jump back to 1985 so I could actually remember meeting my Grandfather before he died. Then a quick jump to 2015 to find an Almanac then a quick jump back to the present to invest in the right stocks.

Now taking this out of context and theorizing I can jump back further. Here's my list!!

1.I would go back to the late 60s and kick Nixon in the balls. Why you might ask? Well let's see I would tell him he gets two options, he can leave Vietnam alone or he can do it the right way per say one of his drunken rants to Kissinger. "Nuke the damn thing." Would have saved us a lot of trouble and effort.

2. Next up, jump forward and kick President Ford in the balls for sucking so much while he was president. Next up, kicking Jimmy Carter's ass and telling him the Iran-Contra affair was a waste of time. And tell him to lower the gas prices that America was facing in the 70s. (Can you tell I'm a history major?)

3. Next up Regan, I'd make sure he only gets one term in office b/c of Alzheimer’s. Then I'd tell him to quit the Cold War and that his "star wars" program a giant laser in space is the dumbest idea since Nixon. Also stay the F*** out of Afghanistan you dumbass that's only going to create more problems later

4. And the last two presidents that need an overhaul. Well Mr. Clinton you're next. If you're going to get on an Intern make sure she's hot, and when push comes to shove as Chris Rock says blame it on Hilary, you know that is was her fault. Also don't lie to the American people and stay the hell out of Somalia (waste of time). And maybe you can nuke France, no one likes them anyways.

And George W., well I'd just make sure he dies in the midst of his own vomit during a beer bong at his fraternity during a party at Yale.

I guess ball kicking wouldn't be enough, I really don't want to kill them as some may do if they went back in time. Honestly you kill someone and another takes his place, this one with more problems. So a quick kick in the ass should set some of these guys straight.

Spring Break an excuse to drink...err read?

Yes its true while many of my classmates and fraternity brothers are out enjoying the sun and the beach, I traveled back to good old Vancouver. Or as I like to call it my parents house-were-only- expensive-shitty-beer-is-drank-and-all- my-friends-have-got-the-hell-out-of-this-town. Options for the week, looking up a few old friends who might be still around, work on my midterm, or hang with minors who cannot drink. I decided to catch up on my reading and try to finish my midterm, start my creative writing final and take care of some freebie sites (more info here free)

Enough of my whining, after a 6 hr long car ride back to here I'm not excited. Well books for this week include, Time Travelers Wife, Peter Chilson's-Disturbance Loving Species, Pledged (a book for my final project), and Broken Pledges (another novel for my final). So in light of this week I have a few books to tackle. Most of them are not what I would read on a regular basis but oh well its something to do.

So why do I read a lot, I used to read a lot for knowledge to learn how things work or to understand things. I used to read everything I could get my hands on, manuals, guides, magazines, playboy, and comics. Lately I've preferred to read for enjoyment, since for some reason as college has progressed it seems to be more of a chore. I try to enjoy simple books, not really, just nothing that has to do with school so I can let my imagination drift away.

However, I used to read way more in middle school and part of high school but as I progressed to college, many of my books stayed behind so the last 5 summers (yes I've been in school 6 years, okay, beer break, should make me feel better), I've been sorting through my books, giving them away and selling them. Simply I just don't feel that I have enough time to read these days but I'm hoping that changes after this summer. They say you are never to old to read or something like that. Maybe its you're never to old to learn something new?!
