shoes, brooms, and tubes

Hey guys, so as I told you last week, my new project has been trying to host an event at my school for TOMS shoes, all leading up to One Day Without Shoes on April 5th. So far I have made some pretty nice progress. After I posted my blog last week, I emailed TOMS asking for a copy of their documentary so I could host a screening, and then yesterday I got an email back saying the DVD was in the mail.

I am way stoked. I'm super excited to start organizing a screening and the April 5th festivities.

In other Austin news, I am in the beginning stage of forming my own quidditch club at my school. For those of you who do not know what quiddich is, what is your problem? Do you hate happiness? Because that is the only reason I could think of for a person to have not read Harry Potter. This little side project is the second little source of joy in my life as of now. I cant wait to mount my broom and take to the pitch. I spent a lot of today researching designs for our uniforms. It's gonna be fantastic.

Oh, and just FYI, I have created a Youtube account so in the future I might be posting some random videos of myself doing stuff (I kept that vague because I'm not really sure what I'm gonna be doing). So look out for that.

Until next week,

Stay Classy

saving the world..eventually

Here I am blog people, on time for the third week in a row. I should get a medal or something. I'm so awesome.

Anyways, as I was sitting around today, doing nothing in particular, I was struck with the pressing impulse to do something. I don't mean like to clean my room or eat a sandwich. I wanted to do something real, something that mattered.

So I perused the various charitable organizations that I pretended to be a part of. You know the social groups that look cool on a tee shirt or your facebook page but you never really get involved with. And then I came across TOMS.

For those of you who don't know TOMS is a shoe company, and for each pair of shoes you buy, the company will give a pair to a child who needs them. I really like the simplicity of the movement and I have decided to get involved. While at the present moment I am too poor to afford a pair of TOMS for myself, I do intend on contributing on other ways.

On April 5th, TOMS is hosting an event called One Day Without Shoes. The premise of the event is pretty self explanatory. You go without shoes for a day (or however long you can) to raise awareness for kids who have no choice but to go without.

I plan on hosting an event at my school, and doing some other stuff, but that is a blog for later. What I would really like is for all of you guys (all 5 of you) to do what you can to raise awareness and to contact me if you want to help me in my little quest.

I fully intend to give several updates about this issue in the future, but until then,

stay classy.

anatomy of a saturday

My recent return to the blogging world after my extended departure has been met with an alarming lack of fanfare and jubilation from my 5 followers and the other random people who read my blog. So little that my blog has actually had exactly zero views in the past three of four days.

How can this be? Its not like I have taken this blog for granted, I mean I have like eight posts over a timespan of nine months! (my sarcasm hand is raised)

Still, I had expected to get at least a few of you guys reading my words. So I have decided to change my approach. In order to acquire my teeming mass of soon-to-be fans I decided that I need to give all of you a glimpse into the fast-paced and exciting experience that is my life. Let us begin with a typical Saturday.

5:15 am- I wake up due to the fact that I had yet again forgotten to turn off my alarm from the previous school week. I clumsily stumble through my room, tripping on just about everything between my bed and the bathroom where my alarm is located. I return to bed.

8:27 am- I wake up to go pee. I return to bed.

10:38 am- I decide that I should probably get up and be a productive person. Instead I go into the living room and watch Yu-gi-oh (I think that's how you spell it) with my little brother.

11:32 am- My stomach growls, reminding me that I haven't eaten yet. I convince my dad to make me an omelet.

11:37 am- Eat Dad's omelet while listening to his obnoxiously loud talk radio. I notice that the omelet taste a little funny because Dad used those Eggbeaters things. I comment on the funny taste.

11:51 am- Begrudgingly help my dad wash and put away like a million dishes. I complain about the number of dishes.

12:19 pm- I retreat to my room, intent on being productive. Instead I go on Blogger and blog surf while listening to Pandora.

1:02 pm- I go back into the living room and watch rugby with my little brother.

1:31 pm- I remember that I need to do my online sociology class. Instead I watch stupid Youtube videos and cruse altpress.com.

2:15 pm- I get a call from my parents. They ask if I'm doing my sociology. I lie. I then hurriedly start my class.

2:36 pm- My parents get home from the grocery store. I finish the last few questions on my assignment and get a 95%. I walk downstairs with an exaggerated sense of accomplishment and help put away the groceries.

2:58 pm- Go upstairs and contemplate taking a shower and being productive. Instead I get back on Blogger and Pandora. Later I decided to update my own blog.

4:15 pm- Finish blog post. Decide to be productive. Instead...

Stay classy

So you may be wondering what gem I have decided to bestow upon you after my five month hiatus, and believe you me, it is a gem.

And do not worry ladies if you did not make the list, there is always time.
