Superstition.

Greetings! Hopefully you're familiar with the Stevie Wonder song "Superstition." If you're not familiar with it, I'm sure you've probably heard it somewhere and just don't know the name. Or if you actually haven't heard it ever before, I invite you to go listen to it. Why am I bringing this up? Simply put: because it's Friday. But it's Friday the sixth, not Friday the Thirteenth, what gives? This song is just an any Friday kind of song. Why? Oh, let me explain.
In high school, both Rocket and I were in band. Obviously I continued instrumental music and she did not, but that's beside the point. The point is we were both in band. That entails concert band, full orchestra, marching band, jazz band and the like. We went to a large high school, and the band room was home base for the (dedicated) band kids. Makes sense, yes? Indeed. We had a very large band program, in fact, the entire music program was huge at our high school. Thus, the band room would need to be spacious enough for all of us band geeks to have plenty of room for lockers, many chairs, instrument cases, instruments, and music stands. During the week, all of the chairs and music stands would be left out (in "formation," kind of). On Fridays, the chairs and music stands needed to be stacked up, racked up and moved out of the way so the wonderful custodians could (try to) clean all of our spit and whatever else off of the industrial-grade carpet. As you can imagine, there were quite a few chairs and music stands. On Friday afternoons, whoever was still hanging around in the band room got to "Rack & Stack." There were usually plenty of people hanging about in the band room after school, especially on Fridays. As we would begin the process of "Rack & Stack," we would play this same CD every Friday. The "Rack & Stack CD." Among some great classic funk and soul type tunes, the first track was "Superstition." That's the real reason that song is one of the best Friday songs ever. I got ultra-used to it vibrating my ear drums every Friday, it makes hearing it on any other day just seem wrong.
There's my Friday-song story. Also, probably the only time you'll hear me say anything almost positive about my high school. If you want a positive outlook on the school we went to, talk to Rocket. I found the whole thing completely bogus. But! It's Friday, and "Superstition" came on my iPhone's shuffle earlier. Works for me! What's your Friday-song? Other than the disgustingly revolting "Friday" song. Tell me in the comments below, Facebook, Twitter and Google+.


Until next time!

Lists.

Greetings. You know what I'm a huge fan of? Making lists. When is the best time to make lists? In advance. Why? To be able to cross things off the list. When? In advance.

I have always found proactive-list-making to be an astoundingly useful skill. Grocery lists, packing lists, to-do lists, class lists, school supply lists, moving lists, dorm lists, and any other kind of lists are wonderful things. You know what's even better than the list itself? Crossing things off the list.

I find if I'm ever in a bind or planning ahead for something, making a list is a very good thing to do. Typically, I'm planning ahead for something. Hypothetically, if I was moving to a new living environment, I would start compiling thoughts and items on a list. Once I got most of the working list together, I could then begin to start completing tasks/acquiring items which were on the list, so I could then begin crossing them off said list.

And to complete my post about crossing things off of my list, I can cross off making a list about a list.

Have questions or tips about lists, making lists or crossing things off lists?
Tweet me about it. @HumerusApollo #BonesList

Until next time!

Tuesday was interesting.

Greetings! There's been a new installment on the 'Bones.' page. An adventure story of sorts, this post involves a journey, a crash and the good side of human nature to save the day.

Twitter Issues.

Greetings! As you know, Humerus Apollo is now on Twitter. I set this account up last night, all of 18 hours ago. I designed the page, and set up a great profile and everything. I went to check on it this morning, and I find that the account has been suspended. What does that entail? Essentially being off Twitter for no reason at all, not able to access anything on the account and not being able to follow or be followed. I checked all of the "Twitter Rules," and I've broken none of them. So, I "appealed" the suspension on the account. That involves sending an email to Twitter via your twitter account, and waiting for them to do something about it. That's where we are right now, everyone. In Twitter jail, waiting to be bailed out. I'll let you know how that progresses. Maybe we'll just end up making a new, different Twitter and be "sneaky" about it. Is it even possible to be sneaky when social media is involved? I guess we'll see what happens. For now, go like us on Facebook and check out our postings on Instagram.

We can not be contained! The voices of the people will not be silenced! Viva la Revolution!

Thank you, Rocket. Anyways, flock to the working social networks and spread the word(s). 

Until next time!

Traveling Blog.

Greetings, this is Bones. This is a "traveling blog" post. Here's the thing, though: we haven't traveled anywhere. Some friends of ours are in New York City right now, and they sent us a photo of our blog "traveling" to the NYC Apple store. I'm going to figure out how to make this "traveling blog" an official element in Humerus Apollo, starting now. We'll post photos of the Traveling Humerus Apollo and you can send us photos of places you've taken Humerus Apollo, possibly even on Twitter, maybe even Instagram. I'll keep you posted on how I'm going about that. 
For now, here's Humerus Apollo making an appearance in the NYC Apple Store:

What Are We Going to Write About?

Okay, so, hi. Blogs are hard. So we've established design (we should make a checklist, though), fonts, what else have we done? No, really though. I'm just going to type what you say, and what I say and change fonts accordingly. Sounds fine. Stop complaining about my font. Should we explain our mission? Do we have a mission? To entertain ourselves and maybe others. To make money. Says you. I'm just in it for the fame and glory. Extension of our mission: to boldly go where every college student has gone before. See, I think I'm clever, but not really. I just make shit up. Is it okay to say that on a blog? "Make shit up?" Yeah, it's our blog. Changing fonts is hard. No sleeps. I'm not sleeping. Should we make paragraphs for every time we change fonts, to make it look like actual dialogue on the page, or would that take up too much space on the page? We are literally just typing conversations, all y'all's can deal with it. "All y'all's" - is that even correct grammar? No. Oh gods, and I call myself an English major. Is "gods" capitalized? No. But English is capitalized. Yes. 

Should we like say actual stuff? It won't let me indent or tab over. That's fine, just separate it. Okay, now what? Maybe this will be so weird that it'll actually work. Maybe it'll be so weird that nobody will want to talk to us. I'm cynical. Oh, it's getting light outside. It looks kind of dark out, still, actually. I hate how it won't let you scroll down on the page. Should we talk about why we wanted to do this? Yes! Okay so, why? It all started with your idea of getting paid to blog. It was all your idea, Bones. But getting paid to blog means you actually have to have followers, which we don't actually have yet. Baby steps, baby steps. And to clarify, this is purely stream of train of thought due to spelling issues. We just coined a new phrase, and I'm going to use it from now on. No evil laughter on collaborative posts. Now we're setting rules? That's not stream of train of thought. But why evil laughter, its' not - Because it's awesome. I'm getting faster at this font changing thing. Okay, so. You should write a paragraph about yourself, and I'll write a paragraph about yourself. So, you're going to write a paragraph about me, and I'm going to write a paragraph about me, and we won't talk about you at all. That feeds my ego nicely. Or we could just talk about ourselves in a streaming paragraph. But that's so many font changes. Well, then I can just monologue me, center stage, talking to the audience, I am now Hamlet. Am I allowed to evil laugh now? No. You're no fun. My kingdom for an evil laugh! I still do not understand that. You should. 

So. I'm Rocket and I live with my roommate, Bones. We're both college students, broke as shit, which is what started this whole shenanigan thing. Shenanigan thing? What started this whole shenanigan thing. We figured why not? We'll talk about ourselves, put documented evidence that we have conversations that make absolutely no sense. Ummmmm. Personal stuff about me..umm..I'm an English major, which means I write, and yet I'm torturing my poor roommate for making her type this. I like books, I can't cook, and I'm currently working as a concession stand attendee, so expect lots of bitching about that. But you know, Bones works in retail, so there will be equal amounts of bitching/pointing and laughing. Other than that, I think I'm funny. Hilarious, actually. But I understand some people might not think so. 

Oh hey, guess I'm typing now. Bones is checking up on baseball scores (we like baseball too. Funny, a Red Sox and a Yankees fan living together and somehow we manage not to kill each other come October). 

Oh look it's sunrise. You know, sunrise is kinda a cool phenomenon. Although it's kind of a misnomer since the sun isn't actually rising - the earth is turning, so shouldn't it be called "Earth Turn"? But then there'd be no discernible night and day. Although, I guess you could just call it "Earth Turn" and "Earth Turn" unless you call them different things, I guess.

Bones is a scienc-y person and likes to just go off on science tangents. It doesn't help that we've been up all night, planning this blog/watching Powerpuff Girls and Xena so we're both kinda loopy and tired and shit.

Coffee! I want coffee. Do you want coffee? Or do you want tea? Tea, for me. (I'm British at heart, I swear. Bones thrives off coffee, but me I love a nice mug of Earl Grey). *Crashing in kitchen* Oops. Don't break the dishwasher! I didn't! That was the mugs anyways. Don't break those either! And stop talking to the coffee maker! It can't talk back. But it's flashing it's light at me and that counts as communication!

So hey, I guess we have a post now. And we just spent like the past hour or so making this post and talking back and forth about it. I swear, we will actually get around to talking about actual things. But maybe not. Maybe this blog is doomed to us rambling and stream of train of thought conversations. That wouldn't be awful. Depends on who you ask I guess. I like it. I like it too! Well there you go then. So we're going to have our drinks and maybe think about about sleep. Pft. Sleep is for the weak. It just wastes so much time. If I could just stay up all the time that would be wonderful. Well then maybe not sleep. But definitely drinks. Does that wrap it up? Do we have a witty sign off? Do we need a witty sign off? I don't think so. I mean, we just kinda jumped into it. Why can't we just jump out? Okay. I'm going to think of one though. You don't have to use it now though. It's late/early-ish. *holds up book* I thought these things were huge. Oh gods, we're not talking about 50 Shades of Grey. That definitely not blog worthy material. Jumping out now. Until next time!
