She rolls the window down and she talks over the sound...

Well, since last we spoke I got through hell week relatively unscathed. However, at the end of the first annual Max-stravaganza, I ended up with sinuses (sinuses? sinii? Sinai?) that were more congested than the 405 during rush hour and didn't feel much like celebrating anymore. So that left me with a week of nothing to do, and without the energy to even get out of bed.
So as for finals week, I've got two take homes. The first, administered by the saintly Prof. Nick Warner (*swoons*), is very managable and does a good job of demonstrating our knowledge of Neoclassic and victorian writers. The second, given to me by the exiting Prof. Richard Samuelson consists of 15 pages of mindless Civil War nonsense. Needless to say, Warner's final is pretty much my way of procrastinating and not taking care of "the thought of John C. Calhoun vs. John Quincy Adams."
As I'm sure many of you are wondering, I do, in fact, have a pretty good iTunes playlist that keeps me psyched up to the level of awesomeness to which I am accustomed. It's a simple mix, but effective. The list is compose of 15 tracks. The first is AC/DC's Hell's Bells. It's Trevor Hoffman's entrance music and the ringing of the bells prepares me for the fury of psych-itude that is to come...
...For the next 14 tracks are Evan and Jaron's "Crazy for this Girl" put on endless loop.
Thanks to Party Shuffle, I rediscovered this little tune two weeks ago. And to those who think that listening to Evan and Jaron makes you gay...it's crazy for this GIRL, not "dude."
This song defined my high school experience and I'm glad that it randomly popped up on my iPod. It tells a great story about a well-meaning, smitten guy who just wants the titular girl what's on his mind...because "she don't know how I feel." It's a sentiment that I'm sure many a young man has felt, and Evan and Jaron just speak a universal language that can touch any soul. I have been listening to this song so often that it is rivaling Brooks and Dunn's "Brand New Man" as most played on ye olde iTunes.
***And just as a disclaimer, this song/post is in no way a typical Max Davison passive aggressive attempt to tell anyone who may or may not be reading this blog that I am in fact "crazy for them." That would be a tactic that falls under the heading of "Old Max." No, this is simply an attempt to spread the word of this gem of late 90s brilliance that should, nay, NEEDS to be downloaded immediately. ***
So do yourself a favor and download this song and maybe this will make you a little awesomer.

It was labor day weekend, I was 17. I bought a coke and some gasoline.

It's currently day three of my blogging adventure, and David Delgado has still not accepted my challenge to get off of his lazy ass and start writing. This is why a hunger strike may be necessary. If Mr. Delgado does not cave in and post a new entry by the end of this week, then on November 14th, I, Max Davison, will officially pull a Ghandi and abstain from eating for as long as it takes. Homer Simpson also utilized this tactic when the Springfield Isotopes were planning on moving to Albuquerque. It worked then, and it will work now if necessary. Onto the blogging... I had a rather pleasant dinner at the Ath tonight. It was a class dinner for Prof. Busch's GOVT20 class. The highlights included conversations about the Ivory Coast, strange roommates, and (most importantly) they had some great cheesecake. So great, in fact, that we raided the empty tables to ensure ourselves some extra slices. Cheesecake. I love it. Occasionally, I'm not sure if I want cake or a dairy

25 October 2007 - I'm not sure what his appeal is, but he deserves better

Superman has kryptonite. Mike Tyson has Buster Douglas. Vince Young has grammar. We all have our weaknesses. But mine is a little bit more embarassing than any of the aforementioned (apart from VY's hatred of the present tense): dumb romantic comedies. Yes, it's not something that I like to admit and it's a vice probably better suited for the Probie or Sean Garrity , but I just like to sit down for an hour and a half, turn my brain off and watch two people fall in love. And apart from the Hanks/Ryan classics (which were ruined for me after Meg ditched Dennis Quaid for Cinderella Man ), there is one thread that links all of my favorites: Hugh Grant. I mean, just look at the guy. When he's not getting arrested for picking up hookers on Sunset (here's a better shot of the man), he's the epitome of the 90 minute romance. He's got "endearingly befuddled" down to an art form, he's also got perfect comedic timing and if you've ever seen hi

24 September 2007 - The One Where Max Curses the Ayatollah

I've been reading up on the Middle east recently. It all started when I watched "Syriana" and was thoroughly confused. Although, watching George Clooney get tortured gave me the same sort of orgasmic bliss that I get from watching Kirk Gibson hobble around second base. Before I started studying, Ayatollah Khomeini was just that guy on the t-shirt that Homer refused to sell at his yard sale. So I have resolved to take as many Gov't classes when I get back to CMC. I'm prepared to ditch my ignorance about that giant bed of sand that happens to be floating on a sea of oil. But in my honest opinion, the greatest victim in the ongoing war between Islam and freedom has to be Yusef Islam, the artist formerly known to the world as Cat Stevens. In 1978, Cat Stevens converted to Islam and left the pop scene to focus on education and philthropy. In 1989, he called for Salman Rushdie's head on a platter, insisting He must be killed. The Koran makes it clear - if som
