Post thanksgiving post

Hello loyal readers.  I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving with friends, family, and at least one person you really dont like.  Before I even get into this blog, I'd like to give you the gift of a gif.  The best gif.  I call it the 2012 Jet Legacy.  Jegacy if you will.

My favorite part is when he realizes the ball is gone and he just lets his face fall into the dirt at the very end.  It's so much more than admitting defeat.  It's embracing the suck.  It's a full on "I hate, so much, the things I choose to be" moment.  It's everything I love about sports in one moment.  It's like that moment when they zoom in on the losing fans' faces, and you can just taste their tears through the TV and they're so salty and yet so sweet.  It's that moment times 100.  That moment times 100,001 because i like palindromes and misery.  I think that will be the new motto of this blog.  For too long it's been the most important thing you'll read all day.  I think at this point in my blogging career, especially since this is by no means a daily blog anymore, PEOAWAR will now be known by our new motto and slogan: Palindromes & Misery.  You're all welcome.

Brittany came to spend thanksgiving with my family this weekend, and she got to kind of see how I grew up, which was clearly a huge mistake.  I know Brittany will be reading this blog soon, but I will go ahead and write some things on the internet about you anyway Blittany.  You are welcome.
I'm pretty sure that after this weekend, Blittany thinks that my whole childhood and adolescence consisted of giving people high fives and being best friends with the entire state of Massachusetts.  She attended my 5 year high school reunion, where I proceeded to introduce her to 12 people and forget to introduce her to the other 75 people she met.  Then she met the rest of my family that she hadn't yet met on Thursday, and also managed to not nap once the whole day.  Pretty impressive Brit.  Especially considering your pedigree as a born, bred, and raised napper.  Then, on Friday she attended my high school soccer alumni game, where she met just about everyone I have ever played soccer with and then an extra 25 people.  She met just about everyone I ever talked to from age 6-17 this weekend and managed to not have her head explode.  So here's to you, Ms. Entire-Town-Of-Westwood Meeter.  You smiled and nodded all weekend, meeting all my old friends, my old friends parents, and even some people I don't even know myself.  When my friends' parents told you I was a good catch, you pretended like you agreed with them, and didn't tell them how smelly my farts are or about this blog.  So here's to you, Ms. Entire-Town-Of-Westwood Meeter, because thanks to you, I look like a normal human being with a girlfriend and social skills, and nobody noticed my scraggly beard at the alumni game.

By the way, I really like the acronym for this blog.  PEOAWAR.  It's like I invented a new RPG.  And not the cool kind that blows stuff up.  The kind that you waste 2 months of your life playing only to realize that internet points don't count and you haven't showered in 3 days, and also you have athletes foot.  Not because you're an athlete, but because you've worn slippers for 2 weeks straight without socks on and it rained yesterday and you didn't bother to take your slippers off even though you went outside so that you could pay the pizza delivery guy, who won't even come within 5 feet of your front door because a) it smells weird b) there's a funny green glow coming from the next room and c) he thinks he might actually be saving your life by making you walk an extra 8 steps.  Life is motion people.  If you're not moving forward you're dying.  Figuratively of course, because sayings are stupid and metaphors are for people who can't handle the truth (see my previous blogs when I had a metaphor of the day or something, I'm pretty sure that was a thing like a year ago).

Well I think that's a good place to stop.  Shout out to Tim because he's emotionally unstable without a blog shoutout.  Shoutout to the Jets for having 5 points against the patriots this weekend at some point.  You may have lost the game, but you won the safety battle.  And that counts for something.  And that something is a box full of emptiness and sorrow.  Here's your gif.

OH also the world is due to end in 25 days.  Here's to a mundane last 3 and a half weeks to human existence.  And by last 3 and a half weeks I mean probably another hundred thousand years or so, assuming we don't kill ourselves off, and we manage to cope with global warming and that kind of stuff.  And you should all follow @yaboybillnye on twitter.  Dude's hilarious.


there better be cities in space before i die im tryna live on the mooooon. lemme get dat MOON HOUSE!



Dude kills it.  Here's your gif for real.

Whats up fellow internet users.  This will be my second blog since homecoming.  It will be written today, November 10, because I get to relax a little bit today.  Not too much, mind you, because I have to study and work today.  But nonetheless, I will blog.  Firstly, I would like to tell you about my nap yesterday.  It was awesome.  I laid down, and then I was unconscious for about 2 hours, and then I woke up.  And oh boy was that unconsciousness glorious.  I was neither awake, nor conscious, nor aware of my surroundings.  If ever an enemy wanted to strike me down, that would have been the moment.  I was a metaphorical sitting duck, and a literal sleeping human.  It would have been like shooting metaphorical fish in a metaphorical barrel, or like shooting a literal human in a literal bed while he is sleeping.  But you have missed that chance, sneaky made up enemy.  You also missed the chance last night while I slept again.  You are a very poor predator.  You should read "Hunting for Idiots" or something, which is sort of an ambiguous name.  Does it teach idiots how to hunt, or does it teach you how to hunt idiots?  You should really work on your punctuation, "for idiots" franchise.  Also I should probably read blogging for dummies.  I need some coaching.  What are these square plastic things below this glowing square?  What do the various shapes and lines on them mean?   I would like to know these things.

I'm going to do something I haven't done in a while on this blog, and that is have a color of the day.  The color of the day today is White.
Best picture on this blog so far
There are 3 pictures of Betty White on the first 3 pages on google image search.  That is more than any other human,  There's only 1 wolf.  Betty White >wolves according to google.  I didn't make the results, I just report them.

Oh did you guys hear Obama won?  That's pretty cool I guess.  I kinda wonder what the next four years will look like..............(wavy screen transition).............................Four years from now we will be pretty OK.  My condolences go out to those of you who think we're headed for doom and destruction, and especially to those of you who expect a thousand years of darkness (1:50).  lol.  We're not all moving to Alaska bro, the sun comes up and down here in the good ole continental 48.  Maybe I'm young an naive (I'm not), but a thousand years is kinda a long time.  Somebody is gonna figure out how to work a flashlight in those thousand years.  You can make a battery out of a lemon bro. (new favorite twitter account btw).

Tim was bummed to not get a shoutout in my last blog, and wrote me a pretty nasty haiku to voice his displeasure.  Hey Tim, I know it's voting season and you wanna voice your choice and vote or die or however P Diddy is getting college kids to vote this year but this blog is a dictatorship.  We don't do democrablogs over here.  Homie don't play that.  This isn't even a benelovent dictatorship.  This is on some Stalin level.  Level 3 dictator.  I'm listening to a book about World War 2, and Stalin is a HARD dude.  He's all like "Oh Stalingrad?  You guys wanna retreat?  You mean our only stronghold is one factory and you're fighting Germans with knives in the dark?  Well too bad I'm just gonna cut your rations more and if you retreat from my namesake city I'm just gonna shoot you anyway, so at least try to get propaganda film famous, (which is kinda like internet famous now) so the kids that you don't have will be proud of you during the Cold War.  I'M STALIN SON! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!"

I now realize I may have gone too far with the Stalin bit.  My condolences go out to those of you who still mourn the loss of approximately 1,000,000 red army soldiers at Stalingrad.  Although I can't imagine you are my target audience.  Bottom line is Tim gets a shoutout this week, but only because he hurt my feelings with that haiku and I'm trying to work on forgiveness.

And now I will leave you with your blogly gif.
