Why I love spring...
Sorry if you are expecting one of those girly "why I love..." blogs, but I'm not that kinda girl, nor am I that kinda writer. Sure, I like flowers, sunshine, and flip-flops, but I got something better in mind.
I'll be honest; I'm having a really, really bad day. But one thing brought a smile to my face, and about made me pee in my pants. It's absolutely horrible. I shouldn't think it's funny, but I can't help myself.
Every spring at Maryville, geese decide to make all of the entrances of the buildings the place where they want to nest. And since our school is very "mother nature" friendly, there are entrances blocked off so that the geese can lay their eggs there and there are signs up telling students to use other entrances. But college students could care less about the geese and their procreating... but the geese are very good at teaching us a lesson. Majority of my classes are in this one classroom and outside the classroom is a nest and a main entrance to the building. Of course, I pick a great seat to be able to view all the action. A couple come walking towards the building. The goose flies right at their heads; they go diving in the grass. The goose is not discourage, he continues his attack by following them and pecking at them as they crawl away. Victim number two of the morning: girl on cell phone ignores signs and bright orange fence. Goose attacks, and she takes off running and screaming and finds refuge in the building. It was great. I was taking a test, and I had the hardest time concentrating, cuz all during class I heard cries of terror coming from outside. I (and everyone else in my class) was giggling the whole time.
And that is why I love spring...

flip flops boooo.
I love when animals do funny things. The other day I was driving behind a truck and a possum was in the middle of the road. The truck went right over it. I stopped because I would scoop it up and it just stood there for about 10 sec. I thought it might be having a heart attack, but it eventually moved on
Man, Homey don't play that. If a goose attacked me... I'd punch it in the face, twist it's wind behind it's back and make it call me daddy. And I'd do it in front of his friends so they saw that I will not be trifled with. Then, the geese would attack everybody, but me! And I would stroll right through them and among them and they would do my bidding! Sucka!
Ummmm...Lucas have you seen Willard? Guy who controlls rats and uses them to kill people? I'm seeing some similarities here.
