Inbetweeners is easily one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen.

Today is officially 25 years into the future for Doc’s Delorean.
This is just sad, we don’t have anymore flying things than we did back then.

(via movieoftheday)
I was serving in Iraq in 2009.
An explosion went off, and I was severely injured by flying scrap metal.
An Iraqi soldier rushed over to me and carried me to safety.
He looked at me and said “You return home safe to that family of yours.” He saw I was wearing a wedding ring.
That man saved my life. GMH.

Tomorrow my best friend gets married

It’s silly of me to be nervous about giving a toast when he’s getting married! But I can’t help it. It’s a very special occasion and I want to do all that I can to make it even better. Caleb and I go way back, and I was shocked and honored when he asked me to be his best man.
It’s hard to believe that we go back so long actually. We never really talked a whole lot, but we knew each other in middle school. That’s 6th grade. We’ve now done 4 years of college together. How long is that? 11 years? Something like that. It wasn’t until after Christina and Caleb started dating that we got to know each other. I discovered he was a fellow nerd and it was all lols from there.
It wasn’t even planned, but we had ALMOST every class together our freshman year of college. I was glad, because I was expecting to not know anyone in my first class (I’m not sure why. I didn’t go very far). But I remember walking in to my first class my first semester and feeling that bit of relief to see an old bro already in that networking class. From then I would be invited to hang out at his house on Friday nights, playing Halo at unreasonable hours. His mom sort of eventually accepted me as one of her own, and a good thing too, because I’ve been to his house many times now. She makes me feel at home.
I guess you could say I’ve grown to love them as if they were a second family. With Ronnie’s taste in comic books and video games, and Matt’s ability to produce awesome music, there is never a lack of things to talk about when I’m over there. Even Christina has warmed up to me a bit (I think?).
Caleb, I love you man. I know you and Christina will make each other happy for a long time coming. You’re good for each other and I hope that both of you will ask me if you ever need anything. Moving, painting, raking that god forsaken field where leaves gather at unnatural numbers, or whatever it may be. I got yer back.

Caleb forgot to pack shirts. Any shirts. But before he realized it, we had already traveled 6 hours to Busch Gardens and got our hotel and went to bed.
The next morning, moments before we left, the discovery was made.
This means he had the shirt on his back and some spare shorts at his disposal. I then reminded him of how I asked him if he was remembering everything before we left his house. I’m not so sure if he thought it was as funny as I did, though. But instead of heading to a nearby outlet store, we all decided it would be for the lols if he were to wear the same shirt the whole weekend. While he didn’t make it the entire weekend with just the one shirt, he did make it 36 hours. It was smelly and awesome.
We rode all of the rides worth riding (some more than once) and we felt like royalty with the Quick Queue pass from Busch Gardens. For the first part of the day we hardly had to use it at all, the lines were bearable and we decided to save them in case lines started to grow. I think we all felt it was worth the extra cost, as later the lines were getting longer and we all felt less like standing around doing nothing. Apollo’s Chariot waiting time with the Quick Queue pass: about 30 seconds.
It was a great trip all the way around. I never realized just how much I love road trips until this weekend. Caleb, his brothers, and me spent over 48 hours together and it was awesome. There is some photographic evidence that Ronnie took coming soon.
I really hope we do something like this again soon.
