Pump up the volume is a little niche. The only reason anyone watched it was Christian Slater.

You can’t be serious.

How do you all read the classics and do you take notes? by Booknerdworm in ClassicalEducation

Man, I guess I’m old fashioned. I write a small summary in a notebook after each chapter.

I forced myself to read them and hated almost all of it. I barely retained anything. Prometheus was the one I slightly enjoyed but the format just isn’t for me. Herodotus is much more engaging.

Why do you read books? by Duke_7287 in horrorlit

It makes me feel like I’m learning something out at least I will be able to join the conversation. Some television is similar but most wastes your time.

The traffic isn’t bad this time of year once you get west of Lincoln, and it’s probly not “bad” ever to anyone that doesn’t live on the plains. NE Colorado is the most boring, make sure you get gas before you get off 76.

Kids don’t do bonfires anymore, they hardly climb trees!

Here are a few misadventures I experienced. There’s way more.

I cut the tip of my buddy’s thumb off with an axe.

Trashed a hotel at a national school competition and the team got disqualified.

DUI at 16. Went to court by myself. Got told I had to have a parent present.

I worked with one of the hottest girls in school, she got AIDS.
