Some Hipster Blogging - Philip Cox

Professors that do stupid things.

I always assume that professors know more than I do when I enter their classroom. Maybe I know more in pop culture, bmx, or some other un-scholarly topic but when it comes to the class their teaching or other university courses, I always assume they know their stuff. However in my 2 years of being in university I have learned that some professors make mistakes or are just completely retarded. For example, I took a computer course in my first year, intro to computing to be exact. It was a course on word….excel…. and basic web design as well as some javascript. So alls going well until I realize that the prof is a little off. First of all, every other sentence he would say “down in here”. Example, “and down in here we see that /b tags will make the text bold and down in here we can see it in the webpage, and down in here est…”. This professor was also the professor which did not know how to mute the volume on his computer…in a intro computer class. I’m not kidding, he actually needed a student to come up and mute the computer for him. Thats when I stopped going to class and came out with a 80 in the class.

That is probably the worst case of “stupid prof syndrome”, but more are still to come. For the most part professors live up to my expiations but sometimes you always get that old senile one or crazy one that makes you think how in the hell they got their phD.

Just started to listen to this album and I have to say that it is very different from their previous work. I personally love it, makes me feel like im in a video game or something…but with rap. I usually do not enjoy rap but the beats make up for it. So I am half way listening through it so yeah, i’m impressed, might actually buy it now haha.

So I changed my mind.

So I now understand that blogging about bikes and stuff would be fun and all but sadly it is winter and thus, biking is a no go until the spring. So as of now I will be blogging about shit I do in my life and stuff that pisses me off simply for the purpose to type out my rants and to become better at writing.

Right now it is my reading week, aka a week the university gives its student / staff off because were all deserving and our brains are expanding at a rate in which the “experts” think we need to calm down. Well not really but fuck it ill take it. On this reading week I am going to Florida with my family and then cruize around the gulf of mexico. Should be fun. Seeing as how the ship is considered “american” I am technically not allowed to drink, however since I bought a drinking card in Canada I am legally allowed to drink. (I’m 19 btw). So yeah will post when I get back and tell no one about it because no one reads this blog.

So I went dirt biking today, but before that, I changed the fork oil in my forks (duh) put a mixture of 5w + 10w oil in it (600mL in each fork, internet had mixed opinions but this seems to work fine) and it made the front end a little better.

Rode my dads 400 ktm and I have decided my next bike is gonna be 450 ktm or those 450 hondas, there damn fast and amazing for motocross tracks.

will post pics soon.

And the dude that was going to sell the bmx bike to me is gonna sell on friday (finally) will post pics of that as well on friday, probably…maybe…..sure.

Phil out.
