Frat Houses

Think of one word that comes to mind when I mention "Frat House." If you thought of a positive word, then congratulations, you are insane. If you thought of a negative word, or a negative image, then you are probably in the majority. 20 years from now, when the world catches up to common sense, who would possibly want to hire a Frat boy. And the thing is, it's always on their resume. Assume for a second I'm an HR manager and I get this resume, I see a Phi Delta Gamma Wamma Bamma, so I research, find out they have a house on campus and their website indicates they are hosting a beer pong tournament on the 26th. HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT LOOK GOOD? I'm putting the resume in the trash can for one of his former frat brothers to take out to the dumpster in the morning. I guess my point is simple, I hate frat boys...and their counterparts....sorority sisters. And ask yourself, am I justified to hate...why yes....yes you are.

Fifa World Cup 2006

The Fifa World Cup 2006 is being held in Germany this month, if you haven't been near the tv, radio, or news lately. I enjoy soccer. I enjoy playing it, watching it, and hearing people criticize it. Yes, I enjoy listening to criticism, because when misplaced, I can secretly laugh at their ignorance. Soccer is pure, it's simple. Here is a ball, here is a goal, don't use your arms. Scoring is not made to be entertaining, but honest, and by honest I mean a true representation of how a team performed. What other sport can say that. If it wasn't good, it wouldn't be the world's number one played sport, riot's would break out over more important things, and kid's would never look forward to orange slices and HI-C's.

If I had unlimited time I would start another web site: SoccerMomDiaries.com. Just think how easy that would be to sell ad space. Special post game snack section with dietary information on different fruit juices, stickers for the mini-vans, I could go on and on.

Originality

When I was younger, I laughed "for real." Now it is "for fake sake." I am going to talk a little about originality, or lack thereof anyways. I have a job that requires me to smile and greet customers while being polite/sincere. The problem is, I am not by nature polite and sincere. So...when a customer comes up and makes what they think is a funny little comment, I am suppose to change my facial expression to laughter for their behalf. I am suppose to lie and act, because I truthfully don't find what they say to be funny at all....in fact I think it is a stupid line that I have heard time and time again. Examples.... "You're a good guy! I don't care what everyone else says about you." or the popular "I'm out doing some honeydews...my wife tells me honey do this and honey do that." Rabble Rabble Rabble. Sure it might have been funny the first time the first man in history said it, and it was only funny for a few seconds then. Now it is annoying. Come up with your own stuff or keep your mouth shut. Where is the originality? I can respect a silent person, they don't want to waste your time with meaningless shit, get done what they need to get done, and move on. In a way they are showing more respect. And I can appreciate that.

Brian Jungen

No complaints today. The sky is blue, the weather nice, the society blinded...scratch that last one. I haven't provided a link the last couple posts, so this time I would like to share a unique artist (as if unique and artist are two different things) who uses Michael Jordan shoes to design some crazy stuff. Take a look at the Brian Jungen gallery. p.s. Thanks Pegs.

Also a comment by a very wise individual...."Why are we so happy when we kill the time we are trying so very hard to save?"

Impossible Jump

I am not against marketing by any means, I feel it serves a purpose to draw attention on so forth, but I also feel it can go to far and create a lie. And I hate lies. Lies mislead, and lies lead to general stupidity when followed. So when a kid sees Mike Metzger (dirt bike jumper/kid who has kids) attempt the "Impossible Jump," a kid has obvisously witnessed a miracle. Because after all if it were an "impossible Jump" nobody could jump it....let alone make it over the FIRST FRICKIN' TIME. Call it the "Difficult Jump", or the "Owner of Ceasar's Palace gets even richer Jump" or the "Tell kids that impossible is often accomplished after just one try Jump." Basically what it comes down to is that people have no respect for words, and if you don't respect words, then why even use them....everything serves as a purpose....except for Mike Metzger who should try jumping from San Diego, CA and land in Tokyo, Japan, because that is my definition of an "Impossible Jump."

Get Your Own Towel

Life never stops revealing to me the idiocy of its inhabitants. All to my enlightenment of unaltered reason. Are you ready...here it comes...my gripe of the week...."GET YOUR OWN DAMN TOWEL!!!" My sister use to pull this crap on me, and I thought it was just her, but after living a few years, and an instance just the other day on TV, It occured to me. Why do people, after spilling a drink or substance, or anything that needs to be wiped up with a towel, always tell the person that had nothing to do with it being knocked over to get THEM a towel. Is it necessary to have one person stand there all shocked, starring it into the carpet even more? Is this person afraid that if THEY move, the drink will become even more embedded? I'm going to ask a scientist that whenever I know a scientist...."Um Doc???....What are the physics behind a spill and the conditioned response of shouting "GET ME A TOWEL!"

Extraterestrial

For the good of the universe and even more importantly earth, I hope we do not discover other life forms in the universe for a long time. I think that if there is intelligent life outside our galaxy we would be in a bigger mess than we are in now...then again there is nothing like a common enemy to bring people together. Just think about it...we can't even control ourselves from fighting and making continous threats about destroying each other for our own "defense." If we found another life form, there is no way we would be accepting of it. It's taken us over 2000 years to even think perhaps all men are equal, and we are still struggling with that. Not to mention the fat cat capitalists that are developing ideas to import resources from another planet. I know...that is getting ahead of myself, but I hope you see my point.
