Funny Fail

Be careful what you do with excercise balls, don't use them for the wrong reasons or you will end up like this guy! FAIL!

Enjoy and laugh, it might make your day a little better :)

Steeplechasing!

I have recently discovered a new track and field sport. It's called steeple chasing and it produces some great fail videos. Why can we have this at Kennedy? Enjoy. 

Funny. Funny. Funny.

Tebow-ing

Okay, the biggest craze has swept the nation. I'm not talking about McDonalds, or north face jackets, nope, I'm talking about TEBOW-ING!!

Now I am sure you have all heard of the normal thing to do in pictures now, you know, planking. I'll show you some pictures just in case you haven't been on this planet or on Facebook in the past month.

Alright so that is planking, basically taking pictures of yourself lying down on objects that you think would make a cool picture. These are complex planks, but the ones on Facebook are the simple kind that you just do anywhere. The best pictures are ones where you totally stick out, while everyone around you is doing something completely different.

Some of the planks that my friends do are on eachother, on rails, or even on toilets (uhhh gross). I have not yet joined the planking fase, because I guess I am just too cool.

Well anyways there is a new outrageous thing to do now, and it is officially named Tebowing. Yes, his name is a verb now.

The creator of Tebowing, Jared Kleinstein, was even interviewed by the Wall Street Journal and you can read the whole thing HERE

On his Tumblr site, Tebowing.com, he defines the act of Tebowing is “to get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different.”

Here is the interview with Kleinstein himself:

Why is Tebowing so popular?

It’s safer than planking. There have not been any known injuries.

What is the best Tebowing you’ve seen?

I love the original because it made us who we are, but I think toddler Tebowing takes it for me. I knew we’d influence plenty of kids in their teens, 20s, 30s and 40s. I had no idea we’d get the toddler community. I’m really happy they got involved.

Favorite place where someone has been Tebowing?

The U.S. Capitol—that was one of my favorites. People love Tebowing in the office. It seems that people just don’t want to work today. They prefer to be Tebowing.

If you could pick one place in the world for Tebowing…

Other than next to Tim Tebow? That’s so tough! OK: with a polar bear in Antarctica.

Is Kyle Orton allowed to be Tebowing?

We’re non-denominational. We’re very accepting of all types, including backup quarterbacks.

What about Tebowing in temple?

Yeah! We’re not associated with any specific religion. It’s so up for interpretation that anybody can pay homage to the man himself. We are very open to all races and religions.

Would you say that 1% of people are responsible for 99% of Tebowing?

Hmm. Yes? But those who Tebow represent the 99%, you know? Oh, wait. I can’t say Tebow. Those who are Tebowing.

Well, they probably represent both the 1% and the 99%.

You don’t have to make over a certain income to post yourself Tebowing. That child? There’s no way he makes over $300,000.

What would happen if Tebow were caught planking?

Kyle Orton would owl. Eric Decker would do the Soulja Boy. And The Rapture would finally occur. But only if those things happened simultaneously.

What would you do if Tebow contacted you to talk about Tebowing?

I would start Tebowing.

And if he asked you to stop Tebowing?

Well, he’s the only person who can legally tell someone to stop Tebowing


And finally, here are some pictures of the act itself:

So everyone, go out and TEBOW IT UP!!!

A Fatties Favorite Topic

When you look at the title of this blog post, what do you think of? Of course a fatty’s favorite topic, or anybody’s favorite topic for that matter would have to be food. We need this to live, but I'm not just talking about your average food here. I am talking about New Year’s food and Football Sunday food. (Notice how I capitalized Football Sunday... Yeah it's because it’s a legit thing worthy of some capitalization bro.)



Football Sunday is a tradition that has been around since the cavemen, and it still holds true today. The ultimate idea of a man’s Sunday is sitting on the couch with some grub and watching the football gmaes on that day. (This can also apply to Saturdays, since college football is on Saturdays)



Some foods that our great on Sundays or for New Year’s Party’s:

1.      Ultimate Supreme Nachos loaded with beef, onions, extra cheese, taco chips, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, and lots of salsa.

2.      Little smokies are a delicious little appetizer type food. You can put whatever kind of sauce you want on them like hot bbq, mild, honey bbq, anything!

3.      Chicken wings again come in many flavors. You can make then yourself, get a bag to be cooked in the oven, or order from Buffalo Wild Wings. I recommend the spicy garlic sauce.

4.      Pizza is the ultimate Sunday food. I always crave it because there are so many ads for it on TV during football games. It is definitely the best way to go.

5.      Any kind of cracker dip is great for New Years and football games. There’s like the spinach and artichoke dip, a bean dip, a touchdown taco dip, a bacon dip, and a fiesta dip. There are so many of them, just pick one and try to make it sometime! Yummmmy.

Cornfield Sports

Okay so with all this talk about Iowa, I felt like it would be nice to gather some facts about the sports teams in Iowa. I bet Stephen Bloom would say all of us play on a little farm league in between plowing our fields, but that definitely is not the case. Here is some information I found:

The Iowa Barnstormers:
This is an arena football league located in Des Moines, Iowa. Their home is the Wells Fargo Arena there and the program started in 1995. The head coaches name is Mike Hohensee and their season will start in March. Players head into training camps in Feburary to get in shape for the season.

 I have never actually been to an arena football gmae but I hear that it is really fun. Many porfessional players start off in arena football leagues and shine, then they get sent up into the NFL. Some of the rules are different and it seems it would be hard to get used to.

Tickets are anywhere from $75.00 for sideline seats to $12.00 for up in the high nosebleed seats. This season, I hope to get me and a couple friends to go up to Des Moines and spend the day there, then go to the game at night. It sounds like an exciting team and its nice to have a football team to follow in the college and NFL offseasons.

The Cedar Rapids Kernals:
Okay, so there are many minor league baseball teams in Iowa, but the Kernals is definately the closest to us. I personally go to several Kernals games a year, and I don't know why people wouldn't. It is a minor league team that actually feeds into the Los Angeles Angels in MLB.

The best part about going to the games is that they are fun, and you get to enjoy time with your friends while chowing down on some yummy ballpark food. The atmouspehere is great, but the stands are definately never filled. The stadium probably has room for about 7,000 people, but only about 1,000 to 3,000 people attend each game.

The stadium has a lot of promotions and events going on, and many theme nights. These include; 70's night, Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders night, reality TV night, Beach Boys night, sweater night, and they have fireworks on almost every Friday and Saturday night. If you ask me, a night at the ballpark is a great way to spend your summer evenings.


As I continue blogging I will highlight some more sports team in Iowa :)

Bowling Trickshots

So this guy has a whole series of youtube videos just dedicated to bowling trickshots. His latest one, number 7, is his best one yet. It features him kicking the ball, using some tables and chairs, and other crazy things. To be honest, there isn't much to say about it. Watch it, and be amazed. I really wish I could do this kind of stuff, but normal bowling is good enough for me.

P.S. I wonder how many times he had to do those shots in front of the camera before he got strikes...?

Winter Worries

So let's face is, there is not much to do in the month of January. All there is outside is freezing cold temperatures, and the chance for snow.

January always makes me depressed because it is getting colder and colder, and you have to stay inside. There is no going outside and soaking up the sun, because you have to wear tons of layers of clothes just to keep from freezing to death in the icy tundra.

Here are some alternate options for those winter months when you want to find some things to do inside:

1. Go to the mall- Lindale is currently the place to be! You can hang out with all the middle school wanna-bees, and make a lot of great dirty looking friends. Feel free to be there all day long and make a mess, because you aern't the one cleaning it up anyways. Even if you have nothing whatsoever to shop for, it is still a great time for sure. Let's go try on slutty dresses, or take pictures of ourselves in the bathroom mirror. That is my definition of fun alright!

2. Planet X- Wooo hooo! there are many fun things to do at Planet X; including a couple trampoline things, a rock wall, some bumper cars, and laser tag. The climbing wall is about twice the height as I am, so you can climb up 3 rocks and you're at the top. Yay. The bumper cars are in an area of about 20 square feet, so you do a lot of bumping alright.. Just not enough to even feel the fact that you ran into someone.

3. Swimming at Bender- It's a small indoor pool that you can swim in. You will also choke on the amount of chlorine in the air, but its worth it to feel like it's summer again! NOT!

4. Join Dungeons and Dragons Club- Not sure what this game is about, but it must be pretty fun. Come on, how can you resist a game with the word DRAGONS and the word DUNGEONS in the title? It sounds like a first person video game where you level up by fighting other dragon owners or something. Drink magical potions, find a gem in the forest, and have a wizard name all while sitting on your butt by the computer. Sounds like a good time to me.

5. Twilight Marathon- It is white and sparkly outside, so why not watch a movie about a sparkly vampire and his human girlfriend? It's complete with a great plot line, and maybe even some warewolves too. Hey, make your boyfriend watch it too, and at the end his eyes will be bleeding.

6.  Raquetball- You can always go to your local YMCA and play some raquetball, just don't end up like these people.. By the way this is what is linking this blog post to sports, enjoy. Just dont laugh too hard :)
