Jump and Throw

This hilarious experience came a couple months ago before we were all in quarantine. I was back in Colorado for the last couple days of Spring Break, and we had a get together at one of my high school friend's house. There was quite a few of us because a lot of the guys were also back for the last few days of break. Anyway, one of my friends (we call him Q) had a little too much beer to drink and was feeling a little nauseous. By nauseous, I mean Q was laying on his stomach on my friends trampoline with his head over the side. He hadn't thrown up yet, but he was making some strange groaning sounds. One of my other friends (we call him Biz) was completely oblivious of the situation and didn't know how Q was feeling, so he started jumping on the trampoline. Q was getting tossed around from the jumping, and the gyration was all Q's body needed to start throwing up. He started throwing up off the side of the trampoline while my friends and I tackled Biz and made him stop jumping. This sent us all laughing hysterically at Q's expense. We had never seen someone throw up in mid air.

However, that's not where the story ends. Q finally finished throwing up and stands up on the trampoline. He was dizzy, confused, definitely not sober, and looked like he didn't even know where he was. He was walking to get off the trampoline when Biz gets back on the trampoline and starts jumping again. Biz double jumped right at Q's feet which sent him flying off the trampoline and into a tree. The trampoline is surrounded by trees on the side Q fell off, so he got stuck about half way up in a tree. He had throw up all over himself and was now tangled in a tree. Again, it was incredibly hilarious to us, not so much for Q.

Amidst our laughter, we were able to climb the tree and help Q down. He ended up being okay and was even able to laugh at the situation a little bit. This was one of the funniest occurrences I have ever been apart of, and to my knowledge, Q has not jumped on a trampoline since the incident.

The Power of Volunteering Your Time

I have learned so much about the importance and power of volunteering your time. In high school, I was a part of a couple community service clubs, but I never really put a ton of time into any of the community service events. My freshman year at TCU, I volunteered every week at Kinderfrogs on campus, and I had a blast working with kids with disabilities. I also joined the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity which is when I found out about the Journey of Hope (JOH). JOH is a 64 day bike ride across the country which raises money and awareness for people with disabilities. I thought it was a perfect undertaking after volunteering at Kinderfrogs, so I signed up. I ended up raising over $7,000 through emailing my friends and family to participate in the event. My network of people made the journey across the United States possible, and I am extremely grateful for everyone that made it possible.  During the Journey, I cycled over 4,000 miles from San Francisco to Washington D.C.. We averaged abo...

Man on Fire

An uncontrollable fit of laughter came just recently in quarantine. I came upstairs one night to find my dad's hair smoking. Apparently, my dad was getting ready to cook dinner, and he had put quite a bit of oil in a pan. He got a phone call, went outside, and left the oil on the pan for too long. By the time my dad got off the phone and came inside, there was a big grease fire in the pan. My dad ran over to the pan, picked it up, and started running around the house not knowing what to do. He knew he couldn't put it out with water because water would just make the grease fire bigger. Eventually, my dad decided to go outside with the pan. As soon as he opened up the door to go outside, a gust of wind blew the grease fire right into his face and hair. My dads hair on his forehead and even a some of his eyebrows were torched. He drooped the pan outside, and started yelling which is when I came upstairs. I found him with his hair smoking and a panicked look on his face. Needless ...

Best Scenes

I enjoyed the scenes from the twenties by the four actors/comedians. I grew up watching the three stooges on TV and the four actors' stunts reminded me a lot of the stooges stunts. I am a fan of the kind of ridiculous acts they pull, and it seems no matter what happens nothing can really hurt any of them. Houses fall down on them and they go right through a window unharmed, they constantly get hit in the head and aren't severely hurt, and they are involved with all kinds of vehicles that should really injure them. Each of them have mastered the art of doing things that the audience doesn't think they'll do which is why I think they are so funny. The audience is expecting them to do what any normal person would do, but the comedians usually do something completely outrageous which catches people off guard and is funny. I liked Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton more than the other two because they were the craziest, and I thought Lloyd and Chaplin were a little more obscur...
