Eh, meh, shmeh.

I don't know what to write. I honestly don't. I know that I need to study and read, but I feel like I can't. I just don't want to.

I feel like sleeping. I feel like taking long, long naps. That's about it.

A list of people who, I believe, should shüt üp.

As I have become severely annoyed with American society lately, here is a list of people that, I believe, if they were to shut up, America would be a better place.

This is no particular order; I hate them all equally (would that mean that my hate is a form of socialism?)

-Joe Wilson
-Kanye West
-People who yell "socialism"
-Tucker Carlson
-Rush Limbaugh
-Bill O'Reilly
-People who bring guns to peaceful rallies
-People who are unwilling to compromise
-People who dismiss ideas out of hand
-Nancy Pelosi
-Perez Hilton
-People who are arrogant
-People who are pretentious and/or pedantic
-Benjamin Netanyahu
-Hamas
-Miley Cyrus
-The Jonas Brothers
-Any and all rap and/or hip hop music with the inference of having sex, being in a club, or (in reference to the Black Eyed Peas) doing "it."
-People who are greedy
-People who are self-serving
-People who believe that the Earth is flat
-People who try to proselytize everyone
-Tobacco companies
-Oil companies
-American car companies
-American bankers
-American health insurance companies
-Companies in general
-Absurd Republicans who make absurd claims
-In fact, anyone who makes an absurd claim. Not just Republicans.
-Racists
-People who think that other cultures and/or beliefs are evil
-Sarah Palin
-Scientologists
-Dr. Phil
-Oprah
-Mahmoud Ahmedinejad
-Robert Mugabe
-Anyone who says that business is the most important factor in the world.
And, finally...
-Rush Limbaugh. Yes, he deserves to be listed twice.

That's all for now.

Das...Swine Flü?

So, being at college has finally come with a caveat: swine flu. Yep, those damn pigs have finally taken revenge on me for not eating them. Well, not me technically, but seemingly 30-40% (projected) of the student body. My RA came into my room yesterday to talk about what to do if someone catches swine flu. Here's the gist:

1. Freak out.

Ok, maybe not literally, but you know that will be the first thing on everyone's mind. Hypochondriacs will have a field day. Here is what is really supposed to happen:

1. Tell the RA.
2. Be quarantined in your room. Literally. Not even your roommate is allowed in.
3. Be sent home so that you can infect your dad as revenge for sending you to this college (unless you have a young child or grandparents living with you).
4. Feel like you were just lobotomized by a baseball bat.

That's about it. Somehow, I feel like the school is just embellishing a bit so as to make us a little more germ-conscientious; however, I now spray everything with Lysol, so congratulations school, you win. This time.

Here's hoping that I don't become a victim of a ham sandwich,

President Obama's speech to Congress.



Make your own judgments. I won't tell you my analysis, or what I think. I won't try to sway you with my opinions. Make your own.

I will say that Joe Wilson was out of line when he interrupted the President. There is a time and a place for debate, and it is not when someone is making a speech.

Bill Moyers Journal

Here is a quick word from Bill Moyers on health care reform and the raging right:

Der Untergang

My posts will probably become shorter and shorter, most likely because college homework will cause my brain to collapse in on itself like the death of a red giant star.

Getting college books is a pain in the ass. I have to get one that isn't even in any of the college bookstores, and Amazon's "expedited delivery service" isn't very expedited; I've been waiting for 3 days already. The problem is that I need to read this book by Tuesday, which obviously won't happen. Looks like another instance of being screwed by this college.

Aside from that, I feel out of place right now. I know how the square peg feels when trying to fit in the spot reserved for the cylinder. It seems that I do not have the temperament to do serious schoolwork. Hopefully it'll pass.

And now, a word from Bruce Lee.



That's all for now.

Como sufris!

Well... I am back in college now, unpacked and on the search for good posters (Beatles, Foo Fighters, Bruce Lee, anything good). Anyway, I read recently that a Republican newsletter has been spreading around saying something to the effect of "a health care overhaul would allow Democrats to not give care to registered Republicans."

...Really? Seriously? How low can they go? They might as well be declared the all time champions of limbo (unintentional rhyme). The fear tactics are despicable and aggravating, especially to those who see people who actually believe that is true. Eventually, it just seems that Republicans will spread false propaganda to the tune of something in jibberish. It is almost unconscionable that those who state that America is the paragon of political excellence would extol garbage like this. Stick to the truth, and nothing but the truth. Apparently, it can "set you free."

On the lighter side, I am not looking forward to several classes. I feel like my mind is not in the right...mindset (hate that word). Whatever. I assume that I'll get used to it after a while.

That's all for now.
