“No
More Mr. Nice Guy”
by
Terrence Cain
You're probably thinking by the title alone that this
blog post is going to be all angst filled and moody. No way, man! Are
you kidding me? I mean I know I got a hot temper at times, but jeez,
I swear I'm not in a sour mood or anything like that. I promise.
Halloween is coming up next Wednesday, my favorite holiday by the
way, and since it is coming up I thought I'd use a line from a
classic Alice Cooper song for fun. Just like the last two weeks I've
ended the blog with famous lines from classic horror films. I bet
people are still scratching their head as to what movies they came
from, and I assure you I'll never tell.
Oh boy, am I in a giddy mood today. I'm doing really
well in my classes, I just got done talking to an Angelo State rep
for transferring to their university next January, and to top it off
I also found out that I'll be visiting Angelo State on November 16th
with the Science Club. The only thing that could make life any better
right now is winning the lottery or getting a job working for a music
magazine that sends me all over the world! Okay, calm down, Terrence.
No need to get all crazy with excitement [enter derisive laughs
here.]
So this week was pretty awesome, as you can no doubt
tell, but it wasn't just what happened today with ASU and the overall
semester grades report I saw either. I'm beginning to really enjoy
science again, particularly Astronomy. It really is quickly becoming
one of my most treasured classes; and not just because I made a
ninety-five on my last test either. There is just so much I am
learning thanks to Prof. Hobbs. There are things about the black hole
I just never knew. All I ever knew is that light could never escape
it and that its density and gravity literally crushes everything
inside it. Finding out that it more or less bends light, slows the
speed of light, and possibly even recycles time and space just blows
my mind. I'll never be good at math calculations, but science thrills
me like no other subject right now. Being in this class just makes me
want to learn more just as I felt when I was in my youth. Now you're
probably thinking; “Well why not get a degree in science then.”
Well that's because I love to learn, but I don't want to be in it for
a living. I do love to write, music is the thing I know of the most,
so that's where my heart will always be.
Okay I gotta get moving on an ethics paper. Please, if
you're a student or faculty member at the Howard College campus in
Big Spring go see Prof. Davidson's play, The
Tomb Of Count Gangrene, next Tuesday at 7 pm.
Do try to be there by 6:30 so that you have a seat available to you.
Cynthia Weeks is selling the tickets to the show, $3 for HC students
and faculty and $5 for outsiders. She is in the Science building
right behind the Music Hall. You'll find her on the first floor near
the elevator. I want to say here office number is 107, but don't
quote me on that. You'll see her name by the door.
I promise you, it's going to be a great Halloween play
with free candy and a great atmosphere. I've already seen the set and
it looks great. It's going to be in the tradition of three stories
told by three different hosts, similar to old radio serials and
horror shows like Creepshow
and Tales From The Crypt.
I'll post up the flyer for you to look at again here at the end of
this blog. Okay, well that's it for now. I hope everyone has a safe
and warm weekend. Until next time, this is Howard's blogging machine
saying; “You forgot the power glove!”
