Well, at least the Peter Gibbons Dream
Five points to the first person to name the movie reference, without google.
Yes, today I just did a whole lotta nothin'. I was having difficulty trying to think of what I would write about, considering that my day was so completely uneventful. Oh sure, I ate food, chilled outside for a while with my iPod (envy me!!), but really nothing happened all day.
I suppose I could talk about how much naps really suck. Oh sure, you lay down for a nap, you feel great. You think, yeah, now I can catch up on my complete and utter lack of sleep, but then you have to wake up from the nap, and it's all downhill from there. First of all, your body was really excited to be getting some sleep, and probably had every intention of sleeping for several hours, but no, you have get up. Then you feel worse for the rest of the day, existing in a state of semi-consciousness. Or lets say you indulge yourself and nap for a few hours. Then you might not feel quite as bad for the rest of the day, but you can't get to sleep until about four in the morning, causing the cycle to repeat itself. If it wasn't for the weekend, you'd never catch up.
Such is the paradox of naps. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
Actually, that turned out to be a pretty decent topic, for this half-assed attempt at a blog entry, that is.
Here's another subject. Freshmen boys. Like I may have mentioned before, I'm a senior living in the dorms on campus. The reason being that it's free. Well, the guys that live on my floor are almost exclusively freshmen. I had forgotten what it was like to be 18 (he says as though he weren't only 21). I had forgotten how strong one's hormones are at that age. I can remember when I was 17. I was horny. No seriously. I'm pretty sure for that entire year I was just rearin' to go. (What am I, from Texas now?) I could maybe focus on something else for a while (a while being about 5 min) but eventually I'd be horny again. That's not to say that I'm not a 21 yr old male, still in my prime, but things have waned slightly since then.
Right, so I was during a search for something appropriate to link Texas too, but was unable to find anything quickly. Although I was able to find a few "stars and bars" pictures. That in turn reminded me of a bumber sticker I saw recently that was very similar to this. Now, aside from the disgraceful Jane Austen reference (snap! that's the fifth literay reference, 20 points if you can name the other four), I just had to laugh. Oh, I'm not saying that the 'gentleman' with said bumper sticker was a racist or anything, but...
Slavery was an issue of the civil war. Frankly, it wasn't really so much about that as perhaps money and power. But please, please don't give me that states rights crap. You honestly think that your average southerner during the civil was actually had a clue about states rights or the 10th amendment? Do you actually think that your average southerner in this century has a clue about states rights or the 10th amendment? (Yes, that was below the belt and horribly stereotypical, but there aren't many groups I can pick on without being sneered at and/or fired, so I have to have some fun.)
I'm just not sure what there is to be proud of? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the south lose? If I was from, say, Georgia I'd be downplaying that whole war as much as possible. Although, here's an interesting point to think of: if the south had won (God helps us all) then they'd call the war the Confederate Revolution and we'd be calling it the southern rebellion and skip over it in history class as the British do the American Revolution. Weird thought, isn't it?
What would be the official language of the confederate nation? Hmm... I don't know, but I highly doubt it would resemble anything remotely like the English we speek today.
Ok, I think I've stepped on enough shoes for one day. Moving on to the...
Thought for the Day
Why do I need a key to get into the male bathroom down the hall (yes, the dorm has 'community' bathrooms)? I mean, I can understand why it would be necessary for girls to have locks on their bathrooms, but why on our bathroom?
First of all, I can't think of any female that would actually want to go into a bathroom that was being used by close to 20 guys (not all at once, perv). Second, I can't think of any guy that would actually mind.
Just something to think about before going to bed.
May flights of angels sing you to your rest. (#6)
