After my miserable International Affairs senior seminar class (that's the last class that I had a suspicion I wouldn't like, and it turns out I was right. It sucks), I was hungry so I went up to Qdoba for a quesadilla (as if I don't make enough quesadillas myself at home). While I was there, a guy comes in and introduces himself to the manager saying that he owns the space next door and wanted to introduce himself. It turns out they're opening... are you ready for this?... a CEREAL BAR on the hill. They will offer all kinds of cereal, milk, toppings, extras, etc. and they will be open from 6am to 2am. When I heard him say this I couldn't help but turn around and listen intently. I don't eat as much cereal these days as I used to, but cereal still has a fond place in my heart.
I remember telling Amanda once a couple years ago that I thought it would be a great idea to open some sort of cereal restaurant and she told me that it was a stupid idea (actually, she probably said it was the stupidest idea she'd ever heard in her whole life). I told her that she was wrong, though. I told her that people would dig it. I would dig it.
So I'm glad to see that someone else has stollen my idea and is going to make it a reality. I hope they prove Amanda wrong. I hope they have a line out the door all day every day. And then one day I will make her go there with me for lunch or dinner or breakfast or something and she will see just how wrong she was.
For today's video, I have a video by M.I.A., who is probably my best/biggest musical discovery of the summer. I have to give my friend Natalie all the credit for turning me on to M.I.A. when I visited her in Phoenix earlier this summer. I don't think I like the video very much (too 1980's, even though it's only a couple years old), and this isn't necessarily my FAVORITE song of her's, but it will suffice. It is Bucky Done Gun.

Sorry Dustin, and guy at Qdoba. There's a place called Cereality. Google it or something. I only know this because my business associates came up with the exact same idea.
Let me just say that I still think the cereal bar thing is a ridiculous idea. Cereal is one of those things that you eat because it's easy, you're too lazy to go out, you don't want to put clothes on, or you're just plain poor. People who don't want to go out/put clothes on/are poor/lazy will not want to go to an establishment and overpay for a bowl of cereal. Let's be realistic.
Just because multiple people think an idea is good does not mean that it actually IS good. Just look at the movie Snakes on a Plane. Or, Moolattes at Dairy Queen. People actually thought those were good ideas!
Sorry to crush your dreams, Cereal Bar Man + Dustin.
Hey, you aren't crushing my dreams. MY dream is coming true, with the opening of a real cereal bar... you can hate all you want.
The thing is, dear sister of mine, people like my friends and me made Snakes on a Plane the number one movie in America for its opening weekend. Moolates? There's a reason Dairy Queen hasn't stopped selling them. I think you over-estimate the average American, Jei
Your sister has a point. Not everyone can be as superior as you.
lol i will stay out of the great cereal bar debate of 06 but i will go with you sometime if you want. haha. i guesss that means i think it's an idea i won't pass up. as for snakes on a plane....ugh i won't pay to see it so if somehow i'm over and you have the dvd i might sit down and watch it. and MIA rocks!
