Well, This last weekend was commencement for many young high school and college graduates. Cheers to you guys. Or, as my brother would say, "you're fucked now." Let's face it, either you're going on to more school, finally getting a real job, or camping out in Mom's basement--none of these options scream Rawesome.
Anyway, back to what I started this post about: I attended my bro-in-law's high school graduation on Saturday. The ceremony was, well, it kinda blew goats if you know what I mean. I got to see my brother walk, which was cool and we were all proud of him. BUT, there were four student speakers. All of which clearly didn't understand what it means to speak at your graduation. One person even reverted to "oh the places you will go" by Dr. Suess. I love the doctor as much as the next guy, but come on, that's sooo 1999.
Fortunately, once we all got to the BBQ following commencement, drinking ensued. So a good time was had by all.
I guess what I'm trying to say is this. If you're a student speaker at your graduation, make it cool. Go on stage without any pants, insult everyone you wanted to insult during your four years, flip someone the bird, take a cell phone call, show up intoxicated, Streak off stage, implant profanity into your speech, just make it cool.
Congratulations class of 2008! By the power invested in me by absolutely no higher power or figure of government, I declare you approved to move on and start your lives.

might i suggest a...happy/optomistic/positive blog?
No.
You are the second person that has said that ceremony "blew goats." I guess living on the other side of the world comes in handy about 10% of the time. The rest of the time I wish I was there to partake in the ribs, beer, and laughing at the usual members of the family.
