Nerf Wars & Zombies

Here at my college we have wars with Nerf guns in our sports building. It's pretty awesome. The crowd favorite variation is zombies. You start out with a handful of zombies and they tag people, thereby infecting them with T-Virus. Do you, my loyal reader (Yes, all one of you), think that to win the humans should have to collect Twinkies? I think it'd be great.

The Hamway Heartstopper

Every Tuesday and Friday in my college's cafeteria, there are burgers. They are rather plain and ordinary burgers, with little flavor. I have determined a way to make these burgers not only taste good, but one sandwich can stop the heart of any lesser man. I call it: "The Hamway Heartstopper" (I actually call it something else, but I didn't want to put my last name on the internet. Except for Facebook.)

The ingredients:
3-4 patties (1/4 lb. each).
1/5 lb. mushrooms.
1/5 lb. onions.
5 slices of American cheese.
Enough spinach to make you feel better about this, but not enough to influence the taste.
Lots of chipotle mayo.
Oh, and a bun. Or a hoagie roll. Depends.

Sautee the mushrooms and onions together, adding habenaro sauce if you're a real man. At this point, if you're actually going to try this you probably are. If you're not, man up and try it anyway. It's freaking delicious. Put down a layer of cheese on your hoagie roll or bun. Top that with half of your mushrooms/onions mixture. Add the spinach. Add a patty. Add cheese. Add a patty. Add cheese. Add a patty. Add cheese. At this point, we can either add another patty, or top it off with the rest of our onions and mushrooms. I add another patty, another slice of cheese, and then add the mushrooms and onions.

Bonus man points if you eat the entire thing in five bites or less.

Hegel and the "Philosophy of Art"

The Philosophy of Art SUCKS. Just read that for a class. Holy crap. You would think that someone who is as well known in his field as Hegel would tell you something that you didn't already know. Apparently not. It's full of general statements and personal opinions that have very little to do with the actual philosophy of art. It's mostly just a statement about how one goes about making various types of arts. Give me something new, besides telling me art is made through how you feel at the time, "It's how I felt when I threw the can of paint at the wall".

Also, art will never be above nature. Ever.

Also, The Sorrows of Young Werther is painful. And not in a good way.

About This Blog

As this is the first post in this blog, I thought it might be fitting to tell you, the reader, what you may come to expect from me. I am a college student in Minnesota who works at a Chinese restaurant (I'm white, not Asian). I am going to school for computer science, so nerdy jokes will be prevalent. I am an avid PC gamer, and am currently playing a lot of Lord of the Rings Online. I have decided to keep a blog mostly because I have a lot of free time, and if you guys click on ads, I get money eventually. I know, I'm pathetic, but can you blame me?

I will talk about such exciting topics as football, my life, video games, and give movie and book reviews. If you ask me a question I might be willing to answer it if it will make an interesting post.

Also, Craig Ferguson is my hero.
