Posters.










Something very exciting happened this weekend. While bored and attempting to do chemistry my roommate, Conor, and I finally decided to embark on the journey of hanging posters. We have been here at Tech for nearly a month if not more. I’m sorry for my lack of time knowledge because college is so awesome I lose track of the dates. Conor dived into his closet and pulled out a cardboard tube containing two of the most glorious posters of all time.
We first hung up one of the most awesome, mind blowing Jimi Hendrix posters. This poster is original to the era and is absolutely incredible. If I attempted to describe it’s awesomeness you would not get a true understanding because it transcends words. However, I will attempt it anyway. The poster is centered with Jimi rocking out as he explodes with color. There is paint or some sort of color shooting in every direction of him rocking out. This might be my favorite poster because it is placed right next to my head where I sleep and every morning I awake to Jimi and his awesome glory.
The second poster is one of Molson Beer. This poster is particularly awesome because it is a play on M.C. Escher. In this poster Molson lions are crawling off the bottle and across the pages of work and text books. This poster is so cool because it reminds me of college and what my desk looks like minus the beer bottle of course. Also, the coolness level is increased tenfold because on the desk there is calculus homework being done but it is getting trampled on by the lions. I’m not exactly sure why this is awesome because calculus is not fun in the least bit but it is so deal with it.
Another poster we hung was that of a Hokies helmet. This is clearly awesome and essential to any Virginia Tech dorm room. I almost don’t have to explain why this is cool but fr the sake of my word count I will. This poster is super awesome because our football team is awesome and you have to be into it if you go here. There is no way around it you deal with Hokie football everywhere you go and you have to show your pride. It’s a law. Actually it isn’t but it should be.
After we had finished hanging all our posters we felt very accomplished. We kicked back in our chairs mine being a bean bag and watched some football. Suddenly I had a tremendous idea for the ages. I looked up at the overhang above our door and suddenly I knew what our room was missing. I exclaimed that we should hang a picture of the Hokie stone that is in the tunnel in Lane Stadium. Instantly Conor agreed that this was an awesome and we began our search in the Google machine. We quickly discovered a great picture of the stone and we taped it above our door. Now everytime we, or anyone, leaves our room we reach for success just like our football team.
