Against My Better Judgement

Today I received a comment from a certain Barquan Johnson. Barquan (Brian) is one of my students and is the kind of person who will end up being a millionaire or else end up in jail. It could go either way.

Brian is guest posting today, something that required him to take over my computer and write thoughtfully for 25 minutes. He had a million posting ideas, but I suggested that he start with something simple about blogs. All the grammar, spelling, and thoughts are his. If you have never spent time with high schoolers, this will be an opportunity to see what I deal with everyday. Every. Single. Day.

What i know about blogs...by Barquan
As i have found out from my friend "Kevin" blogs are stupid and pointless; where nobody will actually go to your page and read about your boing life that you try to hype up and make interesting (in which my friend sliceofpink.com is not one of those). But he doesnt realize that someone is always interested in going to blogs, whether it be for NUDITY or to hear about experiences in hotel rooms. Blogs can also be about FRIED CHICKEN!

As i have noticed is the past 45 minutes, i have absolutly nothing to say.....BLOG ARE FREAKING HARD! So, to help other brotha and sista out, i have decided that i am going to talk about things you can blog about.

+ Writting blogs
+ Other peoples blogs
+ How people comment about blogs
+ How many hits people get in a day
+ How much you spend in a month
+ How much a domain costs and how confusing it is to do
+ NUDITY
+ Sex
+ How your fone "drops a call" when you really dont want to talk to the person
+ Passing off BAD chineese food
+ How chineese food is different between mandarin gate and great wall manderin food
+ How "I" comes after "S" in safari
+ How nerdy students go crazy over a photo contest only to POSSIBLY win a computer
+ (how barquan is running out of topics)
+ How jeans make you butt look big
+ Why vegetarians dont eat meat, but then eat tortillas (which is made with lard, by the way) which is defended by "lard is fat not meat" but you have to still KILL the animal to get the fat.......retorted with "what if the pig got liposuction?"....WUT DA FOOZIE, what kind of argument is that? This is the part where i need your help...SliceofPink.com decided that i am not welcome back unless i get 20 comments. you can post ideas for blogs, or even just how sexy i look with my microphone. I have recently been told that i am a sexy beast, but they might just be saying that....i need your thoughts. Please and thank you.

Barquan OUT!

There it is. If Brian gets 20 comments, I will let him write another post for your enjoyment. He also just asked me, seriously, "what goes good with a leather jacket?" Maybe you have a good answer for that.

He writes as well as most of the people I work with. Sigh...

[Rene]

LOL... man I miss the team and the wild antics of the pilot/barquan

[kim]

go brian go

[Rachel]

Um, is it legal for a high-schooler to be a "sexy beast?"

[Maya]

Ooooohhhh....a SexyBeast high schooler. Ok, sorry, back on Topic:

Dear, dear Barquan-

Honey, the question is not what goes with a leather jacket. It's what DOESN'T go with it. The answers are (respectively): Jeans, black pants, t-shirts, boots, chucks, creepers, flat-front slacks (as long as they're dark) a snarly lip and....a pretty girl. In FUTURE of course.

Now...as to the other issue: I would treasure this time - you are not ever, ever, EVER going to look this cool with that hat on, ever again. You go boy. Also: Punctuation is your friend.

brian is funny and smart.
he can do a guest post at my blog too of he wants.
my blog is serioulsy pointless.

[Eden]

I am anxious to find a blog about fried chicken now!

[Lesli]

This was entertaining enough to have him back again--so I will throw in my two cents so he can get closer to 20 comments!!!

[Alison]

WUT DA FOOZIE is my new favorite expression.

[Sijbrich]

Microphones and fuzzy hats go well with leather jackets, don't you think?:-)

[A Dirt Girl]

You are now officially over the halfway mark. Good luck.

[kathryn]

and yes WUT DA FOOZIE is my new line also.

[Me]

Interesting experiment. I say Brian needs to brush up on his spelling and grammar skills before heading off to college.

That said, I still very much enjoyed his post. Let him come back every once and awhile.

(I think you should link to his MySpace page.)

[Dee]

Ok it was a silly post but I work with abused and neglected kids so I am always happy to help "normal" teenagers.

Brian,
Smoochies, EVERYTHING goes with a black leather jacket except maybe PJs.

[Maya]

Dear Brian,

I was rooting for another 'guest post', bro. Bummer.

[DebraSue]

Depends on the situation and the type of jacket. If it's a nice leather blazer or cool fitted jacket, just about anything can be pulled off as long as you wear it with confidence.

If it's a type of bomber, remember this: Tom Cruise called and wants to ride your tale anytime.

And if you ask "WUT DA FOOZIE" about the Tom Cruise line, ask Mr. or Mrs. Wallace.

I vote for the return of Barquan in his leather jacket.

[Kate1976]

I am keeping this list for the next time I run out of ideas for my blog... like later today. I also love how NUDITY gets capitals but sex doesn't.

I hope 3 more people comment so we can hear more from this young chap. :)

[Jenvictoria]

Hi Brian,
Regarding the tortilla's- corn tortillas are made w/Masa and water. Maybe a dash of salt- no lard, no fat at all and are very tasty. Much better than flour tortillas and very easy to make.

[Kori]

Sweet Lord...that made me snicker in my office.

Two thumbs up for Barquan.

[Brittany]

"WUT DA FOOZIE"...only high schoolers can come up with a phrase like that!!! Loved the post Brian!

[Steven]

WUT DA FOOZIE was defanitely my fave part...but it was just ok...

[Buffy]

You can't beat a blog about fried chicken.

[Shea]

I think you've reached twenty, but this was priceless. Bring on Barquan!

[benji]

why did you all encourage this?

[Katrina]

I haven't been here in a long, loooonnnnng time and so glad I visited today. Thanks Brian. You have restored my faith in children over the age of three.
Okay. Maybe.
