Besides not registering to vote due to my lack of interest in politics... I made a point of not registering... not even considering taking the time to think about thinking about voting... solely out of spite because I hate the entire... motivating college students to vote committee.
I hate that every person who stops you and asks if you've registered to vote has a pin on their lapel or a sticker on their clip-board of who they're voting for.
And while you're registering they're preaching all about how their choice is the right choice and blah blah blah... you know.
I hate that celebrities try to motivate the younger crowd to vote... fucking C celebrities coming to my school trying to impress students with their fucking nobody presence to get them to register. They were probably blabbing about their preferred choice too... assholes.
I remember P Diddy a few years back... with his "Vote or Die" promotion... yeah that's who I want to try to motivate me to think politically and vote... some rich, know-nothing asshole that sings... doesn't even sing... rather talks about women and parties and shit over bass centered beats.
Really? Are these really the people we want voting... people who will do it because a guy they saw on tv once is telling them it's a good idea...
I don't want that person to vote, even if that person does include news and political debates in their tv nights... your motivation to vote should not be to win brownie points with someone who was on a tv show you didn't even actually watch...
I'm also pretty annoyed in general about facebook/myspace posts all about... concerned that everyone is registered to vote... who they'll be voting for... etc.
Some of you people... I wouldn't even trust to pick a piece of candy for me out of the candy aisle at Wawa.. let alone choose someone to lead a country.
god damn nitwits.
I'm not interested in your political opinions... I'm genuinely not even interested in you. Just because you mention you've registered to and plan to vote doesn't make you any more intellgient. I am genuinely disappointed you get to have an opinion and a vote. But don't vote because you want to seem intellectual... I can see through your shitty ploy... you're not knowledgeable or anything... you just wanna put out vague ideas and opinions and try to impress people in the camp of "your party," so you don't seem like a fucking useless douche.
I'm just sending out a public service announcement...
If someone you know, was motivated to vote because a celebrity told them too... or because they saw everyone else doing it and didn't wanna be left out.
Just come Election Day... maybe... clock them over the head with a wrench or something...
Put em out for a day or two... leave the voting to people who didn't decide to do it because Oprah says go Obama or their Religion says they need to vote Palin.
Or just make public of my threat and hope they stay indoors...
What I Really really... really wanna say is...
don't vote because it's "the thing" to do.
Yes it is important that people vote and care about politics...
But seriously... if you're doing it to fit in, or because you were pressured by the media... don't
celebrities don't need to tell anyone they need to vote... we're aware there's an election. Stay out of it celebrities...
so listen...
if you don't have a genuine desire to vote because you believe in someone's politics and ideas... then what are you voting for?

Iraq, the New Crusade
We were talking about the Crusades in my Medieval Lit class.
And we were basically discussing how one of the motives to start the crusades was to just get all of these reckless, violent knights out of the country.
Europe was just filled with these fucking meat bag knights running around fighting one another causing all kinds of trouble... so eventually the Church came up with these Crusade ideas and... they sent these knights off to fight actual villains rather than each other... you know... actual villains... like non-Christians.
I'm not saying it was the only incentive, but it was a funny one
Because I immediately thought of today... and how maybe our Iraq war has some ideas founded in emptying our country of meat heads.
No offense to my military trained friends who could beat the shit out of me, but just in general... guys who walk around and high five, and lift weights... and then get drunk and curb stomp people... meat heads who are good for nothing but being just, dudes... guys meant for the military.
Think about it, we're in a war but I still see a ton of them everywhere... if we weren't in Iraq would we just be in meat-head overload?
Would sports bars and hummer dealerships just have dudes spilling out of their doors because these meat heads would have nothing better to do?
It's just something to think about really...
Next time you're walking through a sports stadium parking lot and you see a bunch of Frat guys wearing their letters and drinking out of boots... just think... if it weren't for war... that number of guys could be doubled... or tripled.
And that would mean, 2/3x's the smell of axe body spray or body wash, 2/3x's more tacky shirts with some kind of beer logo or at least a word alluding to alcohol abuse... and 2/3x's random acts of violence due to alcohol abuse, or just because people are too dumb to know better.

More on the KU Smoking Ban
Because I think I will always find something to be bitter and resentful towards... I decided I'd add more to my degrading commentary on the Smokers still complaining on my campus.
This past week I read an article in our school newspaper against the ban... while the person's heart may have been in the right place... i still threw the newspaper out thinking that person was a complete dope.
"You can't make smoking illegal on campus... because it is a culture, and you shouldn't oppress a culture."
Not a direct quote obviously, since i disposed of the paper in my disgust. But the person generally had this kind of idea going...
So essentially, people think the smoking ban shouldn't stick... because everybody does it.
Because it is socially acceptable and so standard for people to smoke... why should there be rules against it.
ugh.. what a nitwit.
Drinking is something 90% of people do and people are addicted to... but you don't see me walking around with a beer on my dry campus... mumbling and grumbling about how everyone does it, and I disagree with the rule, and it's socially acceptable and a culture.
Fuckk you...
Listen, people were allowed to smoke on all the campuses... but you were supposed to smoke 25 feet away from building entry-ways.
But... people didn't do that, they stood right in the doorways... especially in the rainy and cold weather... they stand right outside the doors.
Now, since... no one can be considerate enough to move away from the doorways there are rules banning smoking on campuses... that's what you get.
You people couldn't even walk 25 feet... now you need to walk off campus. Good!
But since you disagree with the rule, you continue to smoke at the building doorways.... that's the most you're going to do to defend your position... that and join a facebook group.
If you people are so passionate about smoking, and your culture... maybe you can do more than rebel by smoking closer to the buildings now and making claims that it shouldn't be against the rules because everyone's doing it... these are the exact same approaches 8th graders take in similar situations.
So maybe you can make a petition... or maybe get representation in Student Government Board and make an argument against it for all the PA schools, (another article in my paper noted how no one showed up or brought that topic up at SGB) who knows... maybe I'll represent you and get my Smoker Box installed on campuses... or maybe we can at least get some Gazebo's or Cages you guys can smoke in...
BTW, if you're a smoker... and you think in my approach I've been rude, or arrogant or whatever... I know... I meant to be.

Opinions Worth Opinionating: KU's Smoking Ban
Everybody is up in arms about the smoking ban on campus…
While I can kind of sympathize with the students who live in the dorms, or the faculty and administration of the campus… who have to take a hike every time they need a smoke… I also think “hey, get over it.”
Every person has some stupid shitty comment to make about fairness or rights, and all I can think is… “Shut up.”
Everyone thinks that they made this law because they want to force people to not smoke. NO! it’s more along the lines of... it’s a huge public area… there are people here who choose not to smoke (smart people with will-power) and they shouldn’t have to suffer second hand smoke at the doorway to EVERY building on campus…
Because that’s what the smoking community does… they create a barrier cloud of doom at the entrance to every campus buildings… and that is interfering with the non-smokers’ rights to fresh… clean… non-smoker polluted air.
Now I have to put up with the same assholes who smoke outside the buildings… doing it now purely out of spite… feeling like they’re fucking bad asses… getting away with everything. What a bunch of dumps.
Also I have to listen to shitty commentary along the lines of, “Oh hey… candy’s bad for you… maybe they will ban candy next… or how about McDonalds.” (Actual comments I heard outside a building of education.)
Oh wow, check this fella out… he should be on the debate team with lines like that.
Hey moron… I don’t know about you but I’ve never heard of second hand diabetes or a second hand heart attack. Real mature you dumb douche… I can’t believe you go to college… I really hope it was your first week, you’re awful…
It’s just really funny that every god damn smoker is whining about how inconsiderate the system is to them… even though they’re the ones who are being inconsiderate… smoking in building doorways and sitting in classrooms reeking of cigarettes forcing discomfort on those who are disgusted by the smells and smogs of the habit.
I really don’t care if you smoke… do whatever the fuck you want… but if you’re going to continue to smoke on campus against the rules… at least do it in a field or away from moving masses of people… or at least avoid me so I don’t kick you in the shin while you do it in the doorway of the library mumbling how no one is actually going to do anything about it.
And finally, I just want to comment how hilariously awful it is that such a high number of students will mobilize against the creation of a rule that doesn’t allow them to smoke… but this near 10,000 Student University can hardly turn out 100 people for a Breast Cancer Walk. What a good group of people…

Get to know me, by knowing what I hate
I’m aware that there are those people who read this blog religiously, but aren’t entirely aware of who I am or what exactly I represent.
So what better way to show this… then by blogging about something I don’t know about… and something I don’t really discuss... which is politics.
It should be the big thing to blog about right now, this year will be my first chance to vote… and it’s a really big election. However, I don’t really follow politics at all… so I don’t really think I should vote, nor should I blog about things I don’t have genuine opinions on… because I don’t read news or watch conventions… or really give much of a shit.
But I dislike politics with good reason… it’s not that I’m not bright enough, or don’t believe myself bright enough to follow politics… I just hate liars.
And that’s pretty much all politics is… picking someone who you think is lying to you the least.
Listening to politics for me… is the equivalent of listening to some cheesy creep guy trying to pick up a girl by sweet talking her.
It’s disgusting to listen to because he’s saying stuff like “your eyes are so beautiful… you’re the best girl ever... there’s no one else like you… you do something to me that no other girl ever could do…”
You hear all of this… and you know there is no way this guy is genuine he is just trying to rock her shit.
He is clearly just trying to fuck and exploit her for his own benefit.
And this is the exact same shit that goes on with politics… we hear everything good that we want to hear, but never elaborations on the real politics of anything… just what sounds and looks good in the media.
Can’t anyone just say something honest…
But I don’t wanna hear any of that “Looking to make changes… wanna change the world” bullshit either... that's definitely not honest.
Politicians don’t give a shit about changes… just success and profits, if change happens while they look for that… they get some extra credit for that.
But no politicians legitimately care about changes, and it’s too bad because the people who do actually want change… are just viewed as goof-balls cause they’re sitting on lawns… eating tufts of grass and complaining about global warming and world famine and exploitation.
These people aren’t exactly legitimately doing anything to push the change… just blogging, writing some books they don’t advertise because they disagree with commercialism and whatnot… blah blah blah you get it...
I think I made my point clear… I just hate dishonest, exploitative, career-concerned politics.

Not Driving Gives You More Time To Think
I really enjoy the closeness and convenience of my place to campus this year.
It's less than a mile to get to the furthest point on campus that I'd need to get to.
It's actually .7
Interesting.
Last year I was a little further... and I had to walk up the big ass hill every morning on my way to class... and I'm such a sluggish walker... so I was always a tad bit late for everything...
But this year's so simple... just a short walk... or if I'm running late I hop onto the bike and I'm there in like... 2 minutes... which was the opposite last year because riding my bike uphill to class was exhausting and not any faster than walking.
Don't get the wrong idea though... I'm not here to talk about my pleasant commute to class... but rather all the lazy assholes in town who drive to classes when they live so close to classes.
For example, in just this development of apts that I live in...I've seen dozens of people drive over to campus (perhaps one of my roomies included)... less than TWO blocks... and then drive around the loaded parking lots for 10 minutes looking for a convenient spot.
These same people will:
- Complain about the over-crowding of our campus... they hate that the parking lots aren't big enough to accommodate all of the staff and commuters... and by commuters I mean probably 50% of them live within the town and have less than a mile walk to class.
- Bitch about the traffic in town... including the long lines of cars to get out of the parking lots after class... I honestly love walking through these lines of unmoving cars... filled with people I recognize as living only blocks away...
- Complain about gas prices and cry how broke they are... well at least you're really trying to play it thrifty.
-Complain that college food, and college in general is making them gain weight... well what can you expect when your chowing down on your lunch buffet burgers and fries every afternoon and then insist on driving the quarter mile to class every morning so you can get that extra 8 minutes of sleep.
-Will claim to hate Bush, global warming... and love the idea of going green... well... way to do your part.
And it's not just my campus... it's an overall American trend... every god damn person has something to complain about but will continue to do stupid shit that doesn't help the situation at all... because they'd rather have ease and convenience.
That all I really needed to say... I don't wanna go on an overly preachy rant

Greek Life... a Club for people who want to be in a club
Fuck the movie, "College."
Fuck it's shitty depiction of college
Fuck the hollywood idea that colleges are completely "Greek Life" driven
Fuck the stupid nobody kids who actually managed to act in this shitty film...
and that stupid fucking nobody from nickelodeon.. ugh
It's so stupid... why do "College" movies insist on depicting college as some huge party, where people continue to form into very specific social cliques... just like in high school... but under the title of Frats and Sororities.
Now... I'm not going to generalize for all colleges... because honestly... I don't know... but Frats and Sororities certainly are not the cornerstone of a social life at my college.
Not at all
Sororities for example... work like this.
2 or 3 bitchy bossy girls decide to start a sorority... solely because they miss High School and being the most popular girl, the prettiest, the captain of the cheerleading squad... they desire to start a group because in the larger college arena... no one gives a shit about them.
So they start a sorority.
They invite other girls to join, but not anymore bitchy bossy girls... because they are the bitchy bossy ones... they started this sorority to run the show.
So they take in naive freshman, a couple weakly social older students, and one... weird girl.. you know, with like a mustache or something to make it seem like they aren't turning people away based on looks.
So they have all these girls that look up to them, and follow them... they feel important... people notice them as the leaders of a squadron of girls.
Then they all spend time together... the bitchy bossy girls love being the center of something... and eventually before graduating apprentice the next 2 or 3 bitchy bossy ringleaders.
No one outside the sorority gives a shit about it... it doesn't matter...
it's just a useless bunch of tables being pushed together during lunch... so all the girls can sit together and look involved... but really be in 6 different cliques within their useless clique.
People aren't pining to be involved...
There isn't a group of girls turned away from the sororities who form their own ugly girl sorority...
nobody gives a shit..
because nobody wants to pay to be involved with a bunch of nobodies who have to apply to be part of a group of friends.
as for frats.
pretty much the same thing.
a bunch of nobody guys who have no real use in college... miss being noticed and start a frat.
However, this group is less set on "leading males" and more set on just having a bunch of cool guys around you.
You apply to see if you're up to drinking beer and watching football with these guys (and paying to call it a frat) and once a year doing one community service thing so it doesn't seem completely pointless.
These guys don't "Run" the college...
these guys aren't throwing THEE parties to go to.
Yeah right... "THEE" parties to go to involve them inviting as many freshman girls as they can over and trying their hardest to impress them with their apartment and their ability to drink.
After 2 months into school.. .even the dumb frosh girls are over them and the only people who care about their existence are the few frosh guys who can't wait to join so they can take part in this binge next year...
I love to criticize Greek Life because I have no desire to be involved in it.
There's no point...
There are tons of clubs and sports on campus...
Those are REAL groups.
Greek Life to me is "A Club For People Whose Only Interest Is To Be In a Club"
As for the fact that it looks good on a resume...
It does actually...
But I think it has more to do with the fact that Employers see you as an easy to control sheep.
