I hope you've all see Tropic Thunder, it's probably one of the funniest movies crafted by mankind. Anyways, this is an MTV movie awards video short made, and I found it hilarious. It really has no relevance to Creative Writing, but I had to share it. Watch it with sound!!
PS: If you haven't seen Tropic Thunder, see it.

The Beginning
Dewdrops rest on undisturbed grass
The bells ringing across the state
Across the field advances
A line of red-clad men
The farmers grab their hunting tools
The lawyers buy them in the shops
The soldiers stand in perfect order
Marching onward to certain victory
The shot rings out
The red line stops
The farmers move
A redcoat falls
The orders yelled
Are mixed in the growing din
The battle evolving before them
Expanding, growing, becoming something
Which neither side believed would happen
A war began
A nation was born
A people unite
Against a common foe
The mighty brought down
The few rise up
The peasants best the professional soldier
A peoples' fury defeats
All that stand before it
That ragtag band of rebels
Bore a nation on that day
A nation that exist still
But is lost today
The bells ringing across the state
Across the field advances
A line of red-clad men
The farmers grab their hunting tools
The lawyers buy them in the shops
The soldiers stand in perfect order
Marching onward to certain victory
The shot rings out
The red line stops
The farmers move
A redcoat falls
The orders yelled
Are mixed in the growing din
The battle evolving before them
Expanding, growing, becoming something
Which neither side believed would happen
A war began
A nation was born
A people unite
Against a common foe
The mighty brought down
The few rise up
The peasants best the professional soldier
A peoples' fury defeats
All that stand before it
That ragtag band of rebels
Bore a nation on that day
A nation that exist still
But is lost today

America the Beautiful, America the Fallen
Lady Liberty stands for what-
In days where politics call for intolerance
In days where decisions can't be made
In days where the American Dream is allowed to fade.
The Stars and Stripes stand for naught-
When the arguments are louder than the meanings
When the people are blinded by the words
When Presidents are accosted daily
For choosing to be heard.
Uncle Sam points to You-
He needs you to fight the wars
He needs you to work the farms
He needs you to sell yourself
For nothing, but for harm
The People once fought for-
By the brave few
By the farmers, lawyers, idealists
By men with no hope for victory
Betrayed by the ones who lead
They are now fought for by-
Politicians who line their own pockets
The brave few, hamstrung by those on high
The flag that stands for nothing
Tattered on the broken staff.

Rules for Surviving the Walk from Class to Class
The hallways are a dangerous place for people with a short temper. Luckily, I don't have a short temper. But they are annoying as anything.
Below I list the rules on making the walk from class A to class B in a speedy manner.
Rule #1: NEVER fall into the foot traffic behind a group of girls (yes, girls. Boys will be addressed later) consisting of any number greater than 2. Once the third girl falls into step with the duo in front of you, you can expect to get delayed. They like to talk, and walk slowly to make more time for talking. And for whatever reason, they like to expand and block the entire hallway.
Rule#2: NEVER fall into the foot traffic behind a boyfriend/girlfriend duo. Mainly because there's always a point at which you pass a door frame, locker bay, or corner that they will stop instantly at, and begin sucking face.
Rule#3: NEVER fall into the foot traffic behind a group of boys consisting of more than 2 individuals. They like to stupid things like run around and throw things. And you can get hit. Not to mention, they also can move slow for the same reasons girls do.
Rule#4: Leave a safe following distance! Stay behind people far enough that if they suddenly stop you have time to steer around them and flip them off (kidding- read Rule #5 corollary)
Rule#5: Act like it's a race!! Push through/around people if you're running late. Maybe they'll learn to move faster? Probably not.
Rule #5 Corollary: For your own sake make sure they're not a brute or someone in a bad mood.
Rule#6: Raise your voice! Make it heard that you're more important/late than everyone else walking slow in front of you.
Rule #7: "Hey, it's [best friend's name]!" Don't be a hypocrite. Don't stop suddenly to exchange pleasantries with [best friend].
Rule#8: Do your civic duty: break up annoying "people clots". These generally consist of freshmen, so it's not hard if you're an upper-classman.
Rule#9: If you are trapped in a situation in which you didn't abide by rules #1-3, but don't want to abide by #6 because you're too "nice", use humor. Make subtle quips about the pace of the people in front of you. Example- #2 situation: "Geez, you guys sure are like frozen molasses- sweet but slower than anything I've ever seen. MOVE!"
Rule#10: Last Resort. Overexpose everyone around you to the stupid garbage they pull. Walk slower, talk louder, create even bigger log jams. Perhaps they WILL learn to move a little faster. If that fails, lose faith in humanity and continue being that one annoying guy who wants to get where he's going faster.
Hope this helps! Good luck! If you treat the hallway like a Vietnamese jungle and look at everything as being hostile, you'll make it through real quick-like.

Technology- Can't live with it, Can't live without it... Wait, we can.
Computers suck.
If I had a quarter for every time I nearly lost my sanity dealing with a computer, I'd have about two dollars. They suck. It's gotten to the point where I've hit the PC so much that I have to hit it for it to work. I think it has Stockholm's Syndrome. It's fallen in love with getting beaten by its captor.
