The TOMBS Cradle

When you get 5 dudes the enter each other from behind to form a line. Then the guy from the back gives a strong thrust to transfer its energy to the guy from the front and push him forward. Then the guy in front pushes back strongly to transfer the energy back to the guy at the end. Repeat this motion and you’ll have The TOMBS Cradle
Braulio- “Yo Santi let’s get the boys together this weekend and do The TOMBS Cradle.”
Santiago- “Ight bet that.”

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
