What I'm Really Learning From College

Most of my readers are facebook users -- if you aren't either go to college or sit this entry out.

Here is yet another way to kill time on facebook. You can search for pictures of a person just by typing their name in. Facebook doesn't show you how to do this but I will.

This is all you need to know if you're at OSU, just cut and paste this URL into your browser, at the very end, type in the name you'd like to search for.

http://osu.facebook.com/photo_search.php?name=


Example:

If I wanted to find pictures of Finke, who doesn't have facebook, I would type
http://osu.facebook.com/photo_search.php?name=Jason Finke

and up pops some pics of goofy ass Finke.

If you want to search for pictures of someone at a different school, just change the osu to whatever it is for the school you want.

Example:

If I want to search for pictures of beer at Ohio University I type
http://ou.facebook.com/photo_search.php?name=beer

Now that you know how to do it, it's time to have some fun. For instances, look at all the dumbasses that pop up when you do a search on Beer.

If you do a search on douche, you get the following:






The affectionate term of Shit head reveals to us, this scathing editorial of a school up North.




Feeling ever more bold to see what I would find on facebook, I searched for dickhead, but alas, there were no results. Apparently there are no dickheads at Ohio State. However, a search on dick yielded this PSA made by an RA:


So now, go out into the facebook world with your newfound knowledge and see what kind of random shit you find out there. For those that think this may simply be a flaw in the security system of facebook, don't be so sure. The people who programmed this site seem to know about it and have a sense of humor to boot. Skeptical? Do a search for 'fag' or 'gay'

Oh and if you stumble on this site because you heard your photo was on my blog, then stop being a douche and posting your pictures all over facebook.

Update: See, I am the king of all media. I just bought out UPN and the WB

On Wednesday, January 25th, 2006, Howard Stern will cease to be the king of all media, and be replaced by none other than me.

Sort of.

On Wednesday, my first article in UWeekly will be released, thereby making me a published employee of every major form of media - television, radio, and print. Getting paid for two out of three of these ain't too shabby either, since I'm a starry eyed 21 year old yet to graduate from college (TV doesn't pay, I get class credit).

Granted, this is no hard hitting journalism, I write for the Arts and Entertainment, affectionately known to dimwitted college students as "The Hookup." However, this is what I like, and this is what I want to do. Yeah, I've done news reporting before, but honestly, it's so boring. Everything is sensationalized to make things that are mundane seem entertaining and things that are tragic a form of entertainment. No thanks - Given the choice, I'd like to start with something that is supposed to be sensational and entertaining to begin with, instead of trumping up a story most people don't care about.

Anyway, pick up a UWeekly this week - it's at least 200% more fun to read than some other crap out there.

A snippet from Wednesday's bit on Underworld: Evolution

I’ll be honest, I went into this movie expecting very little. A night out watching vampires and werewolves fight to a bloody death and then have sex with each other just doesn’t seem to be very fulfilling. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how this film delivered. Kate Beckinsale again brings an intense and passionate portrayal to the screen as the “death dealer” Selene. The fact that she isn’t very hard on the eyes in her skin-tight leather outfit is not a drawback either.

For the rest, check out a copy of uweekly on campus, or online at www.uweekly.com

Next week I'll be reviewing Annapolis (and maybe talking to James Franco), and interviewing Avenged Sevenfold.



Howard Stern... king of all media, my ass.

It's been a year since that terrible day
Sometimes the days are easy, sometimes they are bad
I wish I knew why, I wish I knew another way;
But I can't change it, it's in the past, and it will always make me sad.

You are loved just as much now as when you were alive
We didn't show it, and we didn't say it all the time
But know that we did, and now we go on without you and survive.

You were a wonderful friend
And you still are, as you watch over us
No matter what anyone says, leaving us was not the end.
I believe the end is really the beginning
Not the beginning being the end
And one day, we will join together again
Our hearts, yours and ours, will mend.

Rest in Peace, Matthew.
