Be Bold, Be Italic, or Be Plain

Be Bold, be Italic, or just be Plain. Thats what this world is all about. You can either stand out (and look like everyone else standing out), or you can blend in and look like everyone else. So really, either way, you are going to look like a bunch of other people. No matter what you do, you are gonna fit into a group, a catagory, that the public will associate you with. You will be either a Punk, a Jock, a Nerd, a Cowboy, a Redneck, a Democrat, a Republican, the list goes on and on. But no matter how different from everyone you try to look, you will end up looking like hundreds, possibly thousands of others who are also trying to stand out. Hell, you can't even be naked. Nudist groups ruined that way of standing out. (Plus, most people who really wanna run around naked, no one wants to see naked.) So my advice is to just be who you are, what makes you happy. Wear what you like, what you find comfortable, and if other people don't like it, oh well. If someone finds your sunglasses too big, but you like them, then wear them. If someone thinks your hat is dirty and ugly, but its comfortable to you, wear it. If your clothes look like they have been in the bottom of a hamper for 2 months, burn them, cause we don't wanna smell that shit.

Theres no way everyone can stand out in the world. Its just not gonna happen. So, instead of trying to come up with ways to be different, just be comfortable. Don't worry about what other people think, as long as you don't make others uncomfortable with your smell.

Post #60

This is it people, post #60!!!! We should all go out and celebrate and you can buy me drinks and it will be a gay ol' time!! Or not, 'cause 60 isn't really a milestone or anything, and therefore there really is no reason to celebrate. Unless you just want to celebrate being alive, 'cause I'm all for that.

I'm sick and tired of buying a Coke (or Dr. Pepper) with a chance to "WIN a chance to throw for $1,000,000 or conference tickets". And its not really the fact that I more than likely won't WIN that chance to throw for $1,000,000 or conference tickets, or that even if I did WIN that chance to throw for $1,000,000 or conference tickets, I probably wouldn't be able to make the throw or whatever, its that I now have to go online, register at some obscure website with some hard-to-read code, and wait anxiously for hours, nay, days, for no reply to come. And whats with everyone raising the price of cokes anyway? Is it getting more expensive to make the carbonated beverages or are multi-million dollar companies just getting more and more greedy and trying to extract every last dime from us poor college students? Assholes.

I am planning a trip to Australia this summer. It isn't going to be your typical summer break trip as it is going to be funded entirely by change I find. I was gonna go on the trip from my earnings after WINing the chance to throw for $1,000,000 and making the throw, but after sitting in front of my computer for 5 days straight waiting for the e-mail telling me I won, I came up with a better plan. Now I am starting to collect change I find in couches, on the ground, in peoples pockets, and in money bags at banks. At the rate I am going, I will have enough money to go to Australia 3 weeks ago. Now all I have to do is stay away from the police, who seem to think that it was me who robbed a bank at gunpoint on and got away with $25,000 in change. That is absured. No bank has $25,000 in change. I would have had to rob 7 banks to get that kind of money in change. And even then, I wouldn't have ended up with exactly $25,000. It would have been more like $26,251. And that much change is...I mean would be heavy, and therefore I would have to have people helping me. Sean and Justin, if you are reading this, lay low for another month or so, just to be safe. If you are a Federal Agent reading this, I was in Pensicola that day, I swear...

Damn, almost spilt that Dr. Pepper with the non-winning code in the cap on my computer...that could have been bad...

Well, duty is callin', and so I must bid farewell for now. Keep it clean and live like its your last day.

Work and the Internet

So I am sitting here at work in the info desk, browsing the world wide web, and it occurs to me. The internet isn't all that limitless. Granted, there is a ton of stuff on here, but most of its crap and uninteresting. I keep going back to the same sights over and over, seeing what, if anything, has changed. And most of the time its nothing. Conclusion: When you have too much time, the internet sucks.

Some people just don't need to be alive. Seriously, they are wasting precious oxygen and brainwaves that other people desperately need. Have you heard about the little kids in Africa who are suffocating because of stupid people using up all the oxygen? Well, thats a complete lie, but it could happen. But seriously, some people just need to stop living. And hurry up and die. And leave me everything in their will. Except debt. Debt sucks.*

So die stupid people, die.

Or go to New Jersey, they are all stupid there.**

I was talking to a grad student a few minutes ago (or a year ago, but whos counting) and the conversation could have been scripted. She used to be in the FBI in Pennsylvania, and she started a story like this..."Well, it all started in west Philidelphia where I was born and raised..." and without missing a beat, 5 of us started singing the Fresh Prince theme. Point of the story: the Fresh Prince rocks!! And stupid people suck. And we randomly break out into song and sometimes even dance. Cause we can. Suckas!

*Seriously, I hate stupid people wasting oxygen. Die already. Gosh.
**What? They are.
