Listen, folks.

I realize no one ever reads this thing. I do. But still, I have free time on my hands. I would like to say a few things about the people who seem to be all too prevalent on Blogspot.

Listen, folks.

Stop posting about your family.

Stop posting pictures of your family.

Stop posting, basically, if you cannot keep me entertained.

When I hit that, "Next Blog" button.. I want to see something a little more interesting. Your kid dancing in a video is not interesting. Your kid's first winter, is also not interesting. Halloween? Who gives a damn. Kids. Are. Boring. And there are too many of you people who think, "Gee, I think I should blog about the family unit!"

Just.. Don't.

I love the USA.

It is indicative of an ignorant society when racism, fear, and lies can control public policy. It is ignorance which allows the few, the corrupt, to control what it is we believe. Let us indulge in a simple exercise of logic, on an issue which perpetually gets looked over. The issue? Marijuana.

The federal government, from 1920-1933, imposed prohibition. If caught with alcohol, you were slapped on the wrist and sent on your way. Prohibition led to an increase in corruption, and organized crime. Instead of simply walking into a bar for a quiet drink, you had to rely on criminals to supply you with booze which might not even be safe to drink. Canada laughed at us.

The federal government banned marijuana, officially, in 1937. It's procurement has been made a crime worthy of (in Indiana) a five-thousand dollar fine and up to a year in prison... Just for having less than an ounce. It has been placed on a very nasty list which contains the most addictive and lethal substances known to man. It has been labeled, "The Gateway Drug". Marijuana trafficking is violent. Wait.

The trafficking of marijuana is violent? The competition amongst DRUG DEALERS leads to VIOLENCE? The importation, cultivation, and distribution of an illegal plant leads to secretive and life threatening business practices? The people who grow this extremely lucrative crop pay thugs for protection of said crop? Logical point number 1: Legalizing marijuana would effectively cut out the crime associated with it. It would no longer be necessary to circumvent an entire justice system, eliminate competition, or spend millions smuggling a legal substance into the United States.

Crime, then, cannot be the only reason marijuana is illegal. Logically, it cannot be a reason at all. It must be, then, the children. It isn't as though we have addictive substances on the market today, substances prohibited by law to be sold to minors. These substances don't exist and do not commonly sport handy labels informing users that the use of the substance can lead to complications during pregnancy. Logical point number 2 is self evident.

This next bit is taken directly from the "White house drug policy" (here):

"Marijuana also harms society by causing lost productivity in business, limiting educational attainment, and by contributing to illnesses and injuries that put further strain on the health care system."

Hold up. Logical point number 3: If one were to show up to work drunk, one would be fired; logically, if one showed up craving Doritos, one could be fired as well. Our educational attainment is not limited by marijuana, it is limited by our educational system; the Netherlands beat our test scores.. alot. As for health care, the Netherlands have managed just fine.

Oh, and Canada is still laughing at us.

Women.

I have to ask God why.

Why did you make women so irresistible, yet so unpredictable? You think you're punishing them by giving them a period? Huh? What kind of all knowing being are you, you stupid son of a bitch?! Adam didn't know the apple came from the tree, it's not his fault. How come we're doomed to dealing with their unstable mood swings? Even when they aren't on their periods, they can just randomly flip out.

And what is this, "You're going to hell if you don't practice monogamy" shit? Tell me a woman didn't slip that into the rule book.

They're sneaky, scheming, weaselly, slimy individuals.

....


Well, now that I've got that off my chest.. I have to say that I can't help but love the women in my life anyway. They're smart, funny, comforting, loving individuals.

A woman you truly love can put you through hell, but is also capable of taking you higher than the greatest peak on the highest mountain.

I guess what I'm trying to say is.. I can be frustrated, but they're worth it.

No, I'm not bi-polar.

Seeds.

Yeah, this is my second post today.. I'm a loser, I have nothing else to do. Get over it.

Anyway..

Sunflower seeds are the devil.

THE DEVIL I TELL YOU.

The damn things are tough to eat, and yet addictive. I hate them. But love them. I'm getting better at eating them, so it's more love now than hate.. Still though.

I actually had to read the back of the bag to figure out how to eat them.. And then I made a fool out of myself.

Truthfully, if I had to survive on Sun flower seeds, I would starve to death. Or, I'd craftily ambush the other animals coming to eat the seeds. Yes, craftily.

yessssssssssssssssssss, oh so craftily.

Bathroom.

As some of you may know, I live in a dorm room with two other guys. It used to be three other guys, but one has since moved out. But I digress.

I'm a decently clean kind of guy, sometimes my area gets a little cluttered, but it isn't dirty. Egemen also keeps his part of the room tidy. Jake, well, he plans on moving out soon, so we just ignore his crap.

Why is it, then, that the bathroom is so disgusting? I spent an hour cleaning just the toilet, and the sink. It was simply that bad. Put another way, it was foul enough for me to do something about it. It's still horrid in there, the floor looks like I could plant a tree there is so much dirt.. The mirror has what looks like toothpaste on it, but I don't think it is.. There is some kind of shit streaked across the wall.. I'm assuming it literally is shit, and it wasn't there when I moved in.

....

Basically, neat freaks would slowly die from looking at it. They wouldn't actually be able to clean it, because they wouldn't know where to start. I have a theory that this is why my other roommate fled.

So, until such time as I can afford my trained monkey servent, I've taken it upon myself to clean it.. Whenever it disturbs me. I ask for your prayers, because one day something may rise up out of this pit of a bathroom, and smite us all.

Homework.

Mother of mercy.

I hate homework.

Why is it that people give homework? It just creates more work for everyone involved. The student has to complete the homework, and the professor has to grade it. I suppose there could be an entertainment value in there for the professor, laughing with other professors over just how stupid we (the students) really are.. But, they still have to do work.

Don't they remember what it was like getting homework? Or are instructors not human? That would make sense. Never having had homework, they would be immune to the memory of horrors past. Or, perhaps it's a requirement that they be sadistic; they're finally the ones giving the homework. Maybe they even miss homework, and think they're doing us a favor.

But, whatever the reason, I would like to formally call out to all levels of the educational structure, and implore you to refrain from homework giving.

It isn't nice.

Cold.

It's much to cold to post today. Maybe tomorrow.
