Archive for August, 2008

Today, I’m going to switch things up a little bit.  As loyal Friesen Pointers know, Matt is my trusty, ever-competent list assigner.  He has given me some true gems for list topics, and there are many to come in the near future.
However, I ran into an old friend/co-worker/imaginary lover of mine, Danielle, on campus the [...]

I may have just attempted to illegally cross the border between Burkina-Faso and Ghana, but my African adventures had just begun.  Honest to God, if the editors hadn’t stopped printing these, citing concerns that the stories “weren’t true,” I would have spent my entire semester writing these travelogues.  Here comes part two in the continuing drama [...]

Not writing for the Maneater has made me feel rather weird so far this semester.  I feel sort of lost, and fairly sentimental for the good times I had dicking around in print.  These feelings have turned into a bizarrely sentimental funk that has in turn led me to drinking during the day and reading [...]

Well, it’s that time of the month.  I’m getting all moody and bloated, and that can only mean one thing: it’s time for August’s Friesen Point Cheers and Jeers.  Mother of God, that is so fucking disappointing.  Someone as creative as myself should seriously be able to come up with a title for this bit [...]

Holy Shit!  What the fuck is going on with our country?  It’s been a solid 232 years of nothing but crusty old white men being up for election to be president or vice president, and now, all of a sudden, we have a black man nominated to be president by one party and a white [...]

Wow.  This Matt character sure is a breath of fresh air for this blog.  Historians very well may look back and see him as the savior of this whole “top five list” bit.  He’s only been on the job a few days, and he’s already bringing the heat.  He’s like a pitcher that opens the [...]

It was a long weekend, children, and truth be told, I’m pretty glad it’s all over.  Though it was a delight to see all my friends who came to town for Burger’s wedding, I’m glad they’re gone now.  Our group of friends has a rich tradition of binge drinking, and from what I experienced this [...]

I’ve been feeling a little wistful lately, as if a tidal wave of sentimentality has washed over me.  What should be my last year of school starts on Monday, my dear friend (and mortal enemy) Burger is getting married this weekend, and I just bought a new power cord for my N64 so I can [...]

One of the things I’ve always loved about writing for a wide audience is the range of comments you get when you put yourself out there in the public sphere.  Back when I was writing for the campus paper, I’d constantly get bombarded with two types of emails: threats of physical violence and requests for [...]
