Charlie Sheen's media rants are the stuff of poetry. Whether the high priest Vatican assassin warlock is talking about his goddesses, explaining the inner-workings of his brain or lampooning his employers, he is undeniably entertaining. He is not afraid to use offensive and absurd humor, and he's frustrated that people take it too seriously, rightly so. He is amazing. That term probably isn't good enough, but unfortunately I, like Sheen, am bound by these terrestrial descriptions.
This past fall was an especially good season in television.
David Sedaris, author, humorist, playwright and more, spoke at the Landmark Theater in downtown Richmond Tuesday evening.
I saw The Collegian, and the article, "The Dos and Don'ts of Freshman Year" by Kristy Burkhardt caught my eye. As a freshman, I was curious and began reading the article, hoping for some advice that would be useful for the coming year. However, as I read I was greatly disappointed.

I am by no means suggesting that I'm the definition of a nice guy or the nicest guy on campus (I mean, I live with three saints), but I will say I've had my moments, and I'm one of the few guys who has been on both sides of the fence. Therefore, my experiences are unlike others, and I have a new perception of the "nice guy" and the "jerk," along with the results they produce.

I would like to start off by mentioning that as a Collegian Web developer, I've had to type the words "Obama Inauguration" about one zillion times in the last week, and if I have to do it ONE MORE TIME I'm gonna immolate my keyboard. So, instead of mentioning it, I'm going to replace it with the term "Nuclear Holocaust." (And, since we have a new president, we can pronounce that ''nuclear" as opposed to "nuk-leer.")
