A Typical Morning for Mike Melvin (more or less)
Toss and turn until the alarm goes off at 5:30AM
Brush Teeth
Step in shower and realize you still have socks on.
Step out of shower, take socks off
Step back in.
Get dressed, then undressed because I forget to put long John's on.
Open workout bag and "flinch from the stench."
Put clothes and shoes in bag
Get books together and put in bag along with laptop.
Go out and start car in 13 degree weather while the snow is blowing a billion miles an hour (not over exaggerating)
Forget water bottle.
Go back for water bottle
Drive groggily to school and on the way pass at least 3 hookers and a drug dealer (Definitely not sesame street or Mr Rogers Neigborhood. Although, I did see a guy in a sweater this morning).
Sit in car for 20 minutes until school opens up.
Walk 5-10 mins. to the ET building while the billion mph winds are knocking my head off (depending on how tired I am....and how many things I forget things in car and have to go back).
Laugh at the guy who just slipped on ice
Walk in building and wait for doors to open to basement.
Play sudoku while waiting (nerdy, eh?)<-----(Canadian nerd, eh?!)
Plug in Computer, peripherals, etc.
Reminisce about the guy who fell on ground and laugh again.
Stop laughing because the guy just walked passed me. (this is usually my luck)
Log on, prepare for finals, get distracted by facebook and stumbleupon, start putting together finals, facebook again, draw on Paint
realize that finals are due soon
do finals
mess with Iupui printer software until I can connect
Try to think of a blog topic (usually takes quite a bit. I am boring like a political debate).
start writing blog post
Distracted by facebook again.(damn you Facebook).
Write blog and listen to music.
Post blog.
Watch stats for blog
Procrastinate more finals
Facebook for an hour and a half until class starts.

My Favorite Motivational Speech Ever
I don't know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today, and either, we heal as a team, or we're gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Until we're finished. We're in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell... one inch at a time. Now I can't do it for ya, I'm too old. I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I've made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I've pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who's ever loved me. And lately, I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, when you get old, in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that's... that's... that's a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losin' stuff. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I'm gonna have any life anymore it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that's what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That's a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?

Old People on the Open Road
I am tired of waiting behind vehicles containing old people for a number of reasons. The first reason is that they move slower than a fat guy towards the salad bar. No one wants to be behind a vehicle that goes 35 in a 55. Yes, the speed is a MAX, but by the hair of Justin Bieber, treat the speed limit as an expectation! This is a time where you can act like you have a place to go. You're old, you're gonna die soon, get to your destination quicker because time is ticking down.
Old people also have a way of turning when they're not supposed to. Whether it is because they don't know what color the light is, or the fact that their beat-up Oldsmobile react to the gas pedal...I don't know. I do know that 'turn left on arrow only' dictates that you can, in fact, TURN LEFT ON ARROW! Also, do not crowd the intersection when the light is red; trust me, people don't like that. Just remember: Red, stop-Green, go.
Furthermore, one parking space is enough. The lines are there to show you that that is where your car is supposed to be. Even though no one else is in the parking lot during Denny's breakfast, you do not own the lot. You're like a drunk person who can't walk a straight line, a cop should arrest you. Better yet, I am going to citizens arrest you if I see it again. Officer Mike Melvin is on patrol!
In conclusion, old people, give up your licenses please! For the sake of your grandchildren, put down the car keys and pick up the remote and watch some Bonanza. If you need to get somewhere, use the senior citizen cab.

Relationship Advice
Here is some advice for all of those people:
- If you are constantly changing your status from in a relationship to single, lay off dating for a while
- "it's complicated" actually translates into, "I really think it's not working out and I want to let him know that he is on the verge of being kicked curb if he doesn't keep his lazy ass straight."
- Changing your status to single every week so girls/guys KNOW that you are single will keep you single.
- All the single ladies, all the single ladies....don't "marry" your best girlfriend.
- Open relationship? Sounds like a hooker to me.
- It is rather annoying to see bitchy statuses that are conspicuously directed towards someone. No Facebook fights.
- if you're in a relationship and you're significant other posts "single," you've just been Facebook dumped, congratulations!
If you are randomly trying to meet people on Facebook just to date, you're a creeper. Creepers are frowned upon in the social networking world. In the real world it would be called stalking--and yes, that's illegal.

Chivalry lives!
Treating a girl with respect and honoring them, and not expecting to get anything in return.
I have been hearing for quite some time that chivalry is dead. I don't believe it one bit. I think there are tons of guys out their that are chivalric. It is just modern chivalry. Do you women want us to be so chivalric that we cut off our left ear and give it to you for a sign of love like Van Gogh? If you do, then chivalry is dead...to you.
As a man, here is a short list of what I do to be chivalric (among many other things):
- Opening doors
- Walking girls to there cars if they want me to
- Comforting them when they are sad
- Listening to them
In defense of the women, men, you can still open a door for a woman and still treat her as your equal. If you are holding a door open for a girl while you walk through first, at least you are being half-chivalric.
In contrast, women, you can at least seem grateful for some chivalry. A lot of guys want to know that their chivalry isn't going unnoticed. And if you're a girl and you feel that having a door opened for you is demeaning your equality, you're wrong. On the contrary, it actually is a sign of respect and honor.
*short side note: joking around with a girl and teasing them a little is not mean or cruel. In some ways, it is flirting.

How to be an asshole on World of Warcraft
Step 2: Whilst being a level 80 rogue, sneak up on people in stealth mode, wait until they are about to kill an elite, kill them, then rape their mangled bodies.
Step 3: Tell a beginner that you will trade them gold for their best item. When they trade you the item, don't give them gold.
Step 4: Kill all of the quest monsters before the noobs can get to them.
Step 5: When a player is ready to turn in a quest, commit homicide and kill that bastard quest giver so he can't turn it in!
Step 6: Keep sending higher levels quest invites.
Step 7: Spam people with whispers and tag along while they are doing quests.
Step 8: Instead of killing noobs, put useless curses and debuffs on them so it just irritates them.
Step 9: Kill hunter's pets!
Step 10: Leave a raid group when you are half way through!

The Facts about Poop
Disclaimer: As many of my friends know, one of my favorite words to say is poop, and interesting as it is, I will continue to use it when I see fit. This is one post that I will use it a lot.
Anyways, the other day I was sitting in class with one of my friends ignoring the professor and searching random sites when suddenly we stumbled upon a cool little site about poop. Yes, poop. It has comical graphics (none that are explicit), cool facts, frequently used poop slang, and interesting FAQs. The site is none other than, SmellyPoop.com.
Let's just say this site is the $^%*. Have you ever pondered why dogs eat pooped? What causes green poop? Or even if there are people who eat poop? The site answers all of this and more!
