This thought just occured to me. What are some famous (and not so famous) phrases involving the phrase “I am”?

“I think, therefore I am.”-Rene Descartes
“I am whatever you say I am”- Eminem, “The Way I Am”
“Sam I Am”- Dr. Seuss, “Green Eggs and Ham”
“I am Sam”- Movie title
“I am the very model of a modern Major-General”

Any more? Send them to me.

Updating just now. My Compaq Laptop, which I’ve had since freshman year of college, finally broke down. According to Justin Wong, it’s most likely a capacitor. It can be fixed, but the cost would far exceed just getting a new computer. He lent me a computer for a little while until I buy my new one.

It’s made life a little bit more difficult, seeing as how my notes were on it and I used it as my primary communications medium. Plus, my extracurriculars kind of depend on me having a computer (blogging on Calstuff and posting news on One). Oh well.

Other news, the pledges threw an awesome party on Saturday. Got to see a lot of people like Fred and Sean from the dorms, and Loraine (Lewis’s girlfriend) and her friend Susan. The theme was “Athletes and Catholic School Girls.”

You’ve probably all seen that video of that guy lip syncing to this Romanian pop Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone (or the Numa Numa Video). If you haven’t, I just put up the link to one with some odd footage attached:

I went to a house party down on College and Parker on Saturday with zoroastrikos and vociferouspanda. I supposedly was dancing really well to the Romanian music being played. Go figure.

Ms. A left this in the comments of my last Calstuff post:

Allen, an already famous blogger for CalStuff, is nearing another landmark achievement. As someone points out, CalStuff has gotten another reader.

What an achievement this is for Allen!

Despite the fact that I write for a semi-famous news blog, I would have never have thought my writing style would be parodied.

So Joey and his girl Hoam got a dog named Skye this week. Frisky little girl. If there’s any reason for me to be glad we’re not roommates right now, it’s because of that dog. I really would not like that thing roaming around my room with its ability to chew up my stuff.

Meanwhile, Christina found a rat in the house. She’s keeping it as a pet (it looks domesticated and a lot like one of the rats they use for Bio 1A dissections). Plus, Gary is getting his dog soon. I think Billy put this situation best: Funny Quote-“I hope I’m not the president known for turning this house into a petting zoo.

Thanks for showing me this Justin. It’s probably one of the best college amateur shorts I’ve ever seen:

Basic plot summary: It’s a music video about a guy falling for a girl who has a boyfriend. Girl then fights boyfriend and falls for other guy. Very well done. Oh yeah and there’s a white guy singing in Chinese (well lip syncing, but still cool).

It’s not quite the same as the stuff Joey, David, and I used to make, so it’s not really fair to compare them (our videos were about action and some comedy, not romance). Still I kind of wonder what would have happened if I had decided to spam everyone I knew and told them to send it to all their friends.
