Robin Wiliiams Review

On Robin Williams' latest tour he danced and pranced on stage blurting out his usual profanity laced and laugh-out-loud hilarious stand-up comedy. On this particular night Williams poked fun at everything from the latest Presidential Election to hurricanes and how they always tend to "pick on" the city of New Orleans. Williams latest material seemed to throw back to his earlier days in the 1980's and this seemed to fit the audience just fine. Williams, who is 57 years of age, seemed to act more like a 21 year old and with his energy and constant smile one could not help but allow themselves to be taken away from the real world and enjoy the simple humor that one man can find in everyday things. I believe that Williams tour is a must-see for anyone who believes that anything must be taken seriously. Robin Williams will gladly challenge that assumption about life.

First two weeks of English 101

The first two weeks of English were pretty decent other than waking up for the 8:20 class time. we started reading Paul Muldoon's book of poems called Horse Latitudes and I was pretty impressed. I went to see Muldoon speak on Tuesday at 2:00 in Jackson Hall and realized that he was a pretty witty guy but one must understand that his wit is very dry. As a class we went and saw him read a few of his poems at 7:00 Tuesday night and he reads his poems very slowly and deliberately and also uses a decent amount of Irish slang. His humor seemed to catch the staff more than the students which, as I mentioned earlier, one must understand a dry sense of humor. My favorite poem that he read was the very last one about the girl and her dates, this was truly a poem that made everyone laugh and that nearly everyone could relate to. I believe that covers most of the first two weeks so now I will stop writing and I will begin reading for sociology.
