My type of Girl

Someone recently asked me what "my type" was (refering to girls). I answered "someone who can deliver a creative answer to the simplest of questions." I don't care about blonde, brunette or redhead, at least not anymore, those are merely side preferences. And being able to deliver a creative answer to any question I think requires two things. 1. is being able to explain the truth (to explain the truth you must know the truth), and 2. is knowing what you want. And I think that those two things are the things I look for most in recognizing someone "my type". On the flip side, someone not "my type".....where should we begin. Someone judgemental...see Patricia Heaton, someone naive...see Tara Reid....someone into posessions....see Paris Hilton. Whoops I went to far....I broke my rule of not judging people. Patricia you go right ahead telling other people when to pull the plug on their loved ones, and Tara...I will get rid of that drunken induced nipple slip desktop I found on the internet, Paris...Don't even think twice about taking that decked out Mercedez benz and the diamond encrusted dog collar to the Kabbalah center....because I'm sure you abide by the 613 commandments of the Torah.

V for Vendetta

"V" for Vendetta....what a great movie. Natalie Portman has skills to go along with her looks. It's like taking the best aspects of Anna Kournikova and Venus Williams, merging them together, and then trading tennis for acting. I knew "The Professional" was a good movie, and now I realize why I enjoyed it so much.....Nat Port. The movie is a Big Brother future of sorts set in London, and if you know me, then you know how much I hate the systems of the Big Brother future, and hence another reason why I enjoyed the movie. Anyways, check it out, I won't recommend a lot of movies on this site, but that one is the first of a few.

Tech Plateau

Recently I have been pondering whether or not technological advances are slowing down. My conclusion is that I feel we have reached a point where we are still growing, but at a slower rate. A couple of things have influenced my opinion on this issue. 1, I haven't had to upgrade my computer for over 5 years now, and 2 this ridiculus product right here. Does a cell phone attached to a regular phone that sells for $24 dollars scream that we are reaching a plateau or what?

It's A Huge World

Let me tell you about another misconception that makes me feel like acting like a Bobby Knight highlight. Upon seeing a friend of a family member or vice versa...."It's a small world!" NO, it is NOT a small world....it is a HUGE world...too big for your mind to understand just how stupid it is to say that. We see people we know in other locations because we go to the same spots. Vegas, Cancun, (enter any major tourist destination in for yourself here). You don't go to Meru France, or Mondigou Congo and see your barbers' nephew. Let me explain. We know a lot of people we live around, we know few tourist destinations. It's not a big coincidence...it's not a small world. It's just a small corner we live in...that's all.

Stand Up Wiper

No venting of any frustrations today...today is "come out of the stall day." On a recent trip I met a New Yorker by the name of Tony. Tony is an SUW. Now when it is ok for New York to "stand up" and say that, then my hesitation of embarrasment completely dissapates as well. So here it is...I am also an SUW ...for the same reason as Tony I might add. You probably haven't figured it out by now so here it is, SUW means Stand Up Wiper. An explanation coming from a New Yorker, its simply "Ima Stand Up Wipa" (notice how it sounds cool this way), and an explanation from a midwesterner, it is just silly/sad (take your pick), and while I'm not sure what specific reactions would be like from a Third World African country, it might make complete sense!? I will leave you with an entertaining site to combat the puzzledness you feel right now...cowabductions.com.

March Madness

Alright NCAA selection committee! I congratulate your decision on leaving Missouri State out of the March Madness bracket. Now there is only one thing left to do...eBay Barry Hinson's tears to fund rising tuition costs. Or perhaps put that money towards programs that got cut. No wait a minute, that would only make sense. And anybody who has ever lived in Springfield knows that we can't make a decision based on sensiblity. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm taking out my frustration for sports being put ahead of academics. I'm not against compensating student athletes (not a salary...just compensation for the hours they spend practicing instead of working), but I am against money being put into "new" arenas when the old ones are more than acceptable, then running a story on the local news about tuition costs going up the same day. At least I got out when I did.

Loud and Sober

Let's go ahead and stick to the outdoor stores, www.altrec.com. Figure it out. And my beef for the day....loud people in cozy environments, ie. my little American coffeeshop. Damn, where is the day when kids would just find a house with no parents and get drunk. Now we have too many loud kids invading my enviornment because it's safe and alcohol free. Go grab a bottle of cheap liquor and watch the OC at someone's house, don't get all "I'm happy when I'm sober"...you haven't even been drunk to know what it's like. Because who knows... you might like it?
