Yeah, it's been a while. Sue me. So this entry will be long. The premise - I'm going to leave the edit window open and throw in random thoughts I deem worthy of writing about that I have over the next few hours (current time is 4:30pm). Prepare yourselves; some of you may be offended, some may not like what I write, some may absolutely agree with me. That's what the comments are for. Leave them if something strikes you. I'm bored, so are the random thoughts I'm having: 1. Something smells in this apartment and I can't find the source. I may have to spend the next few hours hunting down this smell. It frigging stinks. Unfortunately I only catch a small whiff of it every few minutes. This could cloud all thinking until I find it..... 2. I think the fence needs to be built between the US and Mexico. Now. I was reading today about a woman who came across the border to have her baby (making the kid an automatic citizen of the US) seven years ago. This woman has now been deported back to Mexico because she got caught. Now the kid (with the obvious help from a lawyer) has written a letter to Dubya, pleading for a meeting to explain to him why his mother should be allowed to stay in the country. Here's a clue kid - your mother was illegal. You should not be in this country to begin with, but because of the laws we already have in place, you get to stay here while Mommy dearest is kicked out. I say send him back with her. He shouldn't be here in the first place. It's amazing to me how these illegal aliens pour over the border into our country, work for a pittance in some crap job, and then demand to have rights bestowed upon them as though they've earned them. I call bullshit. And I'm tired of hearing about it. If you want to live here, learn the language and enter this country legally like hundreds of thousands of other immigrants do. Living in the US is a privilege, not a right. You have to stand in line and apply for citizenship. Take the test, learn some decent English, and stop bitching about your "rights" when all you've done is broken the law in order to get here. Some argue that illegals work the jobs that no other American would work; without them, our economy (and our way of life) would collapse without these aliens working these jobs. Funny thing is, by working these jobs, they're basically stealing from the actual, legal workers here by not paying any taxes on that income. Also, I'm so sick of seeing Spanish everywhere I go and look, just to accomodate these people that come here illegally and don't bother to learn the language. Respect the laws and culture of this country, and maybe people here will respect you back. I'm all for immigration - our ancestors immigrated here long ago. The difference? They did it legally. Enough on this topic. 3. I think The Greg Wilson (yeah, The Greg Wilson, like The Ohio State University) is the most annoying comedian I have ever in my life seen or heard. And his name is just the tip of the iceburg. Please go die, do us all a favor. 4. I think T.O. is an overpayed, overrated, and a bitchy crybaby. I'm tired of hearing him mouth off about how his team won't throw to him and how much of a difference he could make if he was just thrown to more in games. Why don't you go swallow some more pills there buddy? I'm tired of hearing about you and your attention-depraved self. You just signed a $25 million deal for three years. Most people would feel pretty fortunate if they were in your shoes, so just please please please shut up. 5. I think it still stinks in here. Grr. 6. I think I'm ready to get back to ONU and get out of the work force. I like Columbus well enough, but I was just thinking the other day, "I have two of the hardest years of school left ahead of me. I need to get cracking on that, because I feel pretty overwhelmed right now," while I was scheduling for classes. I just hope I can last that long and actually graduate with a pretty good GPA, get a nice job, and start a family at some point. Wow, time crawls looking ahead, but flies when you look back. 7. I think as immature it may be, farting is one of the funniest things on this green earth. Especially when other people do it. 8. I think the Jack Link jerky commercials featuring Big Foot are some of the funniest commercials I've ever seen. 9. I think EES is one of the best things that's happened to me in....well...maybe ever. Just saying. 10. I think internet relationships are ridiculous. I read today where a guy proposed to a girl that he met while playing an MMORPG. He proposed to her on a public forum for the game. He's known her for five months. They've talked on the phone. He's NEVER MET HER IN REAL LIFE. Does this strike anyone else as odd? I can't see how a relationship like this can work. No fights to gauge how each will react. No real substance in their relationship. All they have is this game. I'm all for meeting people online. Get to know them a little, gauge your feelings, etc. But to propose after five months without ever meeting face to face and DATING?! I think people need to get out of their houses and go on some dates. Yeesh. 11. I think the phrase "I could care less" is the most idiotic, asinine, and unbelievably stupid phrases ever. This makes absolutely no sense. If you could care less, then why the hell don't you? I believe what you mean is "I COULDN'T care less". There. That makes much more sense. And it doesn't make you sound like an idiot. Along these same lines; if you don't know the difference between your and you're, or their, there, and they're, or to and too, or its and it's, you should go back to middle school english class and pay attention this time. It's amazing to see how many people butcher these words in text all the damn time. I hate how stupid people can be at times. 12. I think smoking is one of the most disgusting things anyone can do. It makes you smell, it makes you look bad, and it KILLS YOU. Even one little stick, even once every other month. I want to throw up every time I even think about it. Why would anyone voluntarily put themselves through something like that? Seems so stupid to me. I love purposefully inhaling some CO. What a rush. Oh wait, I forgot, smoking is cruise control for cool. My bad. Guess I should start so I can fit in with the cool kids. No, thanks. (Disclaimer: if you're a smoker, it's nothing against you. I hate the act of smoking, not the smoker. Ask my Grandpa, who has a permanent trachiotomy because of what smoking did to his throat. Just don't expect me to hang around if you start lighting up. Expose yourself to it all you want, but I want absolutely no part of it. So I'll be elsewhere until you brush your teeth, take a shower, and get that nasty crap all out of your system. Just saying.) 13. I think there is nothing on television between the hours of 4pm when I get home until 7pm, when Scrubs comes on Comedy Central. Though tonight, Jam Sessions is on BET Jazz, and that is one stellar show. 14. I think Stephen King is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite authors. Read the Dark Tower series, and you'll see what I mean. 15. I think I'm hungry. Hence, a short hiatus. Current time: 7pm. 16. I think I found the source of that smell. Stupid garbage disposal. 17. I think I'm tired of all the political ads that are being aired for the November Congressional elections. Silly politicians. I think I'm tired of thinking. Bed time for Nicolas. Outties. Everyone have a great rest of the quarter. I only have six weeks left of worky work. |
