Cell phones

Although I love my cell phone for CALLING people, I may have to argue that they are making mankind a ruder species. I HATE when you are trying to have a convo with someone, and they are texting other people or are dicking around on the internet. I mean, it’s just plain rude.

“ THE GOONIES SWITCHEROO Go back into the annuls of beloved ’80s films, and you’d be hard pressed to find a movie closer to the hearts of thirty-somethings than The Goonies. I’ll spare you the synopsis, as you most likely already know it, but if you don’t, no need to worry - you’ve seen 20 other movies like it in its time. The template: nerdy but affable underdog(s) suffer unrelenting ridicule by jocks in varsity letter jackets but ultimately have their comeuppance, usually stealing a smoking hot girlfriend or two in the process. In the case of The Goonies, a band of akward, socially outcast kids set off to find a buried treasure, narrowly averting almost certain death and outrunning, among others, a popular high school jock named Troy. Troy is one of the classic cinematic archetypes of the 1980s; the jock. He’s good looking, rocks a period-relative badass Mustang convertible, and he’s a total prick. All we can do from the moment Troy enters the frame is to wait with baited breath to see Troy lose and the Goonies win. And in that end, back in 1985 when the underdogs had their day, (and their bag of jewels), and the final credits rolled and we called our parents for a ride home, we realized something fantastic: It’s true, we weren’t Troy. But for the first time, thanks to The Goonies, we no longer wanted to be Troy. It was okay to be us, thank you very much. Cut to present day. What happened to the better part of a generation that once walked out of their local theater rooting for the Mikeys and Chunks and Datas of the world? They’ve turned into Troys. Troys who can’t accept the differences in others and condemn the things they don’t understand. Finger pointing, shit talking Troys. Ask yourself: with whom do you identify more with these days, Troy or the Goonies? And if you’re reading this and you happen to be an internet shit talker, could it be because you think I’m Troy? Because honest to God, I’ve always fancied myself a Goonie; the underdog who toppled over the narrow-minded naysayers and walked away with a treasure. So maybe this whole thing is one big misunderstanding and it turns out we don’t need to go down as a generation remembered as having spent the ’00s wearing our asses like hats after all. Maybe it will turn out that we needed a little time to figure out that in the end we’re all just a bunch of Goonies. JM POSTED BY JOHN MAYER AT 05:37 PM FROM LOS ANGELES, CA

I'm So Over It

I’m so over my neighbors. They are immature witches. I hope they fall off the face of the earth.

Seriously....

 So, the Pope wants to add seven more deadly sins. I can understand some of them, but…wow. I have a major problem with 2. We are trying to cure life-threatening diseases. Drug abuse is often a disease….aren’t 6 and 7 an extension of 5.

 Nice thoughts, but I don’t agree at all. 

1. ‘Bioethical’ violations such as birth control
2. ‘Morally dubious’ experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty

Things I learned in my HEV 609 Class Tonight

1. This woman in my class is a dumbass. I always new it all along, but today when discussing what “fluid intelligence” is (which is basically problem-solving ability), she said “I’ll give you guys a clue.” She got up in front of the class (which is a small group of like 8 of us, but nonetheless), and busted a move. Um, can you say wrong-o?

2. I know quite a bit about human development already. But, I don’t like talking in class b/c of this dumbass woman. She literally thinks she knows everything, but in fact, she is not even in our field. She is like a gym teacher or something. I wish she was not in my class.

3. I like when we get out of class early :D

Stupid neighbors

I need to vent. My bitch ass  neighbors had a party on Friday night and kept me up from 2 am to 3:30 am. Normally, I wouldn’t complain, but my 6 year old nephew was up for SIBS weekend. So I pounded on the wall. The bitch went off on a tangent calling me mean names and pounding on the wall. They cranked the music. I totally went over they in my p.j.s and called one of them a “snatch.” But, actually one of the girls (AND ONLY ONE) is really nice.

Neighbors blow.

Public Service Announcement

NEVER, EVER drive back down state at 10 pm from Marquette. It is not a good idea. I am exhausted but I can’t sleep b/c I drank too much cappachino. I have to wake up in like 4 1/2 hours. ugh.
