Live from Providence, RI

Hey kids, your friendly neighborhood Cyclone co-founder here. It's been a while since I last posted, and I just thought I'd check in to see how everyone was doing. And also post because so far the new EICs suck at updating.

You're probably wondering what college life is like, or what the Ivy League is like, or if I've seen Emma Watson. To clear this up, college is awesome, Brown is like the adopted half-cousin of the Ivy League, and my publicist tells me I cannot comment on the latter. So let's just avoid those questions for a while, okay?

Let's get down to business, though, and set aside all this silly talk of the nirvana-like juncture that is college, where there are no parents, no principals... yeah, sorry, just in my happy place right now, I guess. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you. Yes, you. Not you, Philip. Sorry.

I have to say that I was impressed with the debut issue of the Hurricane. To Valerie and Will: good job. To Valirie: sorry I misspelled your name in the last sentence. To Patrick: thank you for not writing another inspirational sports story (I liked your article). To whoever wrote the editorial on the class of 2010 sucking bigtime: nicely played!!!!!

But the fact that the Hurricane is coming on strong means that the Cyclone (are blogs supposed to be italicized?) needs to raise its game. I'm not going to lie, when we came into the blogosphere, we scared the newspaper staffers. They responded. This means war. It's time to get back on the ball and bring HHS its news. We can't depend on the Hurricane making mistakes now that they finally got rid of that lazy Davenport kid. (Just kidding, Jenny!!!! But really.)

I'm going to leave you with a quote, since I have to go. Have fun and be safe, children.

Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

  8. 85% of the guys are antisocial only if you go to Brown.

    But they still have Emma.
