I took this photo at work, and they haven't fired me yet

Setting the Fashion World Ablaze... Again
Fashion guru and website manager Pete Phillips set the fashion world on fire yet again this Monday when he showcased corduroys for the first time in a couple years. This breaks Pete's streak of over 400 days straight of cargo pants and their cousins, the cell phone pocket pants. So why this sudden break in pants? Why mess with a good thing, right? "Well I was home, and I realized I have way too much stuff. As I sorted through some of it I found a pair of corduroys and decided to try them on. Nice fit I'd say." Nice fit indeed, look at that ass. "I don't know how these'll work out long-term, the bottom of the leg isn't wide, so it's not really laying over my shoes and dragging on the ground by my heel the right way, but I'm coping for the day."  Pocket space has also become an issue for Pete in the new pants, "I had to leave the cell phone back in the room today, which is ok because no one really calls it unless there's an emergency, and with finals coming up, I don't know if I can handle an emergency this week." The future seems unsure for Pete's pants, but one thing's for sure, "They're not cords, that's lame. These aren't that Old Navy s--t, these are real catalog pants from JC Penny's or the fat man store. Cords are what mobsters use to strangle people, that or piano wire, but that's more for dramatic effect, ya know, to break the skin and all, it just looks better than rope-burn, ya know? But really, these are corduroys--tried and true, so don't cord me buddy."

Pete Predictions Come True
Avid reader's of the site will remember my prediction, submitted with evidence, that people are getting stupider way too fast (see bottom). As a bit off an update, I have two things. I've seen stupid, up close and personal. To the right is a photo of stupid's eye. You can't stop stupid either, because stupid has goals, and once stupid gets something in it's head, it won't get out... unless you kill it. You can't change stupid's mind, because logic and reason are too foreign. Stupid is scary. Stupid is shocking. Stupid, true stupid, can make you question the existence of God. I've seen stupid, and I think I may have been infected. Yes, ask Karen herself, I think I've been infected because I've done an innumerable amount of stupid things, the last being slamming my head into a light fixture in the dark room in photography. This is your public service announcement ladies and gentlemen. Stupid is out there, and it's coming for you. This message brought to you by the Council for the Prevention of Stupidity Infection and local broadcasters like this station.  

Drive by and look. If you love me you'll shoot too.

Christmastime in Luksic Hall
If you know anyone on campus at King's College, then you know that the talk of the town is that lone creative window at Luksic Hall bearing a string of lights and a toy soldier in the window. That room belongs to none other than the creative genius mind of our very own, Pete Phillips. The campus is booming with chatter about the lights and students have come from as far as the University of Miami just to see the lights. While a lit nativity sits down the street, Pete doesn't feel sacrilegious about anything, "I'm not making people come. I think the nativity looks nicer anyway." Others realize that the nativity is a yearly thing, and that Pete's lights are for this year only (and probably next year because he can't afford to move out of that god-awful building that rose up right out of hell and planted itself on Jackson Street in Wilkes-Barre, PA). "I love the lights," says Senior Joe Desciak. Others keep a more simple appreciation, like Allison Ottino,  "They look good," at least I think she said that. Still, some admire the detail in the decoration, "I love the toy soldier," said one Gregory "Izzo" Kirschner. Regardless of what who likes, it's clear that this Christmas is brighter (until December 11) for King's College.

When Old Friends Turn
Gregory "Master G" Kirschner and Joe Baldasare have finally defected from Pete. After a long and heartbreaking semester of low blows and deep cuts from Greg and Joe, they finally delivered Pete the grade A number one snub yesterday at dinner. With face turned and mouth open to speak, Joe leaned forward and turned to the left without a word. Greg followed his example. This snub has been deemed the king of snubs by the two, who are sub experts at Snub University in Old Bridge, NJ. This snub has all the elements of a fantastic snubber-- 
1. The look, giving attention and getting it in return. This is the first step to any proper snub.
2. The opening of the mouth as if to speak, a primary soure of "fake-out-ary"
3. The turn and walk, the main jab of the snub, this is when it all comes clear. 
Pete remains here for his friends if ever they need him for assistance or to make their lives look more fascinating by comparison. I believe it was Oscar Wilde who said, "A true friend will stab you in the front," and I thank God for friends like Joe and Greg, who wouldn't hesitate to cut me from the heard in a heartbeat (more Greg than Joe I think... at least with the killing, they petty much tie in the appreciation of friendship though).
