Having resources is good I saw that they changed the visiting team's seating section in Memorial Stadium, which sucks, because now who are we going to make fun of when we stomp Mizzou into the ground? I don't know about "save a horse, ride a cowboy," but "save a bird, ride a Jayhawk?" - My brother is one cool mutha. I just want to let everybody know at the University of Kansas that I had sex. For the first time. Last night. Good sex. With a cute boy. Yeah for me! --- OK, so I walk into Nordstrom the other day. and I just start to wonder: why do designers make ugly shoes? I mean, seriously. But then the worst problem, even more than that, is why do people buy ugly shoes? Didn't they get the memo that they're ugly? - I don't like the Lakers. Do you know why?

Why can't they make grass that does not pollinate? - I'm sitting on the campus of the University of Texas in a Jayhawk shirt and everyone keeps giving me bad looks. I miss Lawrence.
