1. date of freedom = october 15.
halle-frickin'-lujah, i'm finally getting the ass out of this place. i swear, everywhere i turn there's someone in the way. can't escape. the house in back of us has been having pool parties every monkey-butt-lovin' day. their patio is right outside my window and i can hear every horrible word they say (including all the baby crying and scolding). my dad turns on his portable radio and dials into krater for the entire frickin' night and those two old bastards perry & price every morning. i need space. i need quiet. i need alone. i'm a loner, dottie, a rebel.
2. eliza is hot.
mornings are crap, especially when you have to wake up and go to work. to help make mornings more appealling, i've been picking up zippy's or jamba juice breakfasts on the way to work and treating myself to some morning tv (morning tv is also crap by the way, but what i found out is that mtv actually plays music videos before 8:00 am). this morning they played nickelback's "rockstar," which i've heard and liked on the radio (mainstream catchy enough to satifsy a car-ride sing-a-long) but it was my kind of video, a bunch of random dorks lip synching with a few celebrities scattered throughout. and guess who was one of the celebrities? hottness = eliza dushku. okay, so she was only on screen for probably a total of three seconds but even that was enough to make mornings right again. if you haven't seen eliza, i mean, the video, check it out here: http://www.kovideo.net/music/video/Nickelback---Rockstar/1693.html
3. i'm an idiot.
i consider myself pretty strong-willed when it comes to most things. i have my opinions and my opinions are damn good. haha, but how come with some things i'm very easily influenced. things like "buying stuff" (i get anxious in stores and, despite my most-thought-out plans, i seem to very often leave the store with stuff i didn't want after completely letting my plans flop when one part doesn't go the way i had planned). for example, today i went to restring my tennis racquet, i wanted to try out new strings so i researched them online and picked out ones i thought would be good. but when i got to the store one or two things didn't go the way i had expected and i got flustered and ended up buying different strings. i can't even explain why except to say that while it was happening i knew i should've opened my damn mouth to say something but i didn't, i just stood there like an idiot and let it all transpire beyond my control. which, in the end is not such a big deal because if i wanna be a good tennis player anyway i gotta adjust to different racquets and strings, but the point is that i'm an idiot who lets anxiety completely overtake what my brain tells me to do, or not do. and then later on i reflect on what an idiot i've been and wonder what could have made me such an idiot. i blame parents. putting so much pressure on a young kid to manage money and always make the best decisions. what's wrong with impulse buying? why can't i buy something the first time i see it instead of going back home to research and then look in the ads for months before finally going back to buy it on the 14th visit to the store? so much anxiety for such a simple task. man, they screwed me up.
4. people are fat.
wow, i just watched "the biggest loser" for the first time and while i commend those people on their effort to get themsevles healthy again, i was watching the weigh in and those fat guys were taking off their shirts and geez it's like jabba the hut here. how the hell do people get that fat? i mean, forget the psychological factors (re: bullshit... haha), physically just how does a human body get that ginormous (i apologize for the use of the word "ginormous," and yes, it is a real world, it was inducted into webster's or oxford's dictionary last year... which, although i think is very stupid to acknowledge, i am not opposed to because language is, by definition, a constantly evolving thing and therefore anything a native speaker of that language says is correct). can you imagine being only half that fat and then just watching yourself get even frickin' fatter? geez! how?! well, i actually like the show because g-damn those people need to do something about themselves. but i don't like that they get voted off one-by-one, for the sake of humanity, leave them on the show and get them healthy again! i mean, i'm not the fittest guy in the world but i try and if it ever came down to me getting like a quarter of that fat drag me off to boot camp quick! can you imagine what the world would be like if we all evolved to be that fat? holy crap. seriously though everyone, health is important, and it's something that (biologically) everyone can (and should) keep under control (not counting syndromes/diseases/etc.). i'm deadset on that. find me a girl who values fitness, she's a keeper.
5. people are one part of nature.
along the same lines of human evolution... who's to say that we're above nature? maybe we have wrestled away a bigger slice of the control pie from mother nature than some other species, but we still live on earth and still abide by nature's laws. therefore, why fight so hard against changes? first off, global warming. remember when it was called "the greenhouse effect?" haha. anyway, guess what, environments change, sure pollution and all that probably changes things a bit faster, but nature's got an aswer for it. we might not like that answer (and we may not be around for the end product of that solution), but life in some fashion will still go on. that's the whole point of "life," it adapts. lookie at those shrimps and crabs who live on the sides of those underwater volcanos that are thousands of degrees F and like tons of pounds of water pressure, yet they thrive. okay, and when the volcano gets used up they all die, but something else comes along to replace and benefit from their death. ever think of that kind of creature will come around to benefit after all the humans are gone? okay, that's kinda morbid, but what i'm saying is that us humans are kinda getting a bit over-populated in terms of "a species living on earth" so don't you think that nature would have a solution to deal with us? if any other species gets over-abundant something comes along to eat them or stomp them out or otherwise balance the scales eventually. so what's out there to stop us? well, ourselves for one. then there's viruses... some people say higher incidents of developmental disorders (like the spike in autism) or whatever could be nature's way of thinning the herd. hey, how about gay people? think about it... they don't reproduce, they're still productive members of society, and in some cases they even help the over-population issue by adopting orphans and whatever. see? so nature's at work out there, we gotta remember that we're still a part of that.
6. sleep is good.
and i need more of it. makes you a better person. or rather, a lack of sleep makes you a crappier person.

1) freedom day... a day to be celebrated and a day to get drunk from this day hence. as kristen and will be living like 30 feet away from you, i will always be there to help celebrate your independence day. i dont even know if i spelled independence right.
2) if you havent seen eliza in jay and silent bob strikes back... do yourself a favor and watch it. she's in a skin tight leather outfit at one point. trust me on this one.
3) youre not an idiot. at least when it comes to money (you may be one in an as of yet undiscovered way). so impulse buy away my man. little impulse buys are ok... just dont impulse buy a porsche. cause that would make you an idiot.
4) ive always been confused as to why people dont like to be called fat. its just descriptive language. like george carlin said, fat people arent large. aircraft carriers are large. theyre not big-boned. dinosaurs are big-boned. theyre not obese. obese is a medical term and not all fat people are considered obese. theyre not hefty. hefty trash bags are hefty. theyre not any of the above... theyre just fat.
5) well... i see counter-natural selection every day at work... we've come to a point in medical science where we can save kids from the brink of death due to some genetic thing (mind you they should have died)... and we're just keeping them alive long enough for them to pass their defective genes on. how's that for blunt. and im sure the gay community will be overjoyed to read that theyre nature's way of "thinning the herd"... even though i agree with you.
6) yes sleep is good. its where i hope to go in a few minutes.
I think you'd like this book:
The World Without Us
http://www.amazon.com/World-Without-Us-Alan-Weisman/dp/0312347294/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-8076637-1838865?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189656173&sr=1-1
It's about how the world goes on after humanity dies. Cool huh?
1. drunk = yes. yes i will.
2. jay & silent bob strike back is my new favorite movie.
3. counter-natural selection it is. ever see the movie "idiocracy?" not a very good movie, funny though, and frighteningly realistic based on the bastards i work with everyday.
4. the book. reviews make it seem interesting enough, i like speculations based on scientific truths... but i have a very fine line between what i will accept as plausible and intriguing and what i believe to be utter un-substantiated nonsense. this book seems like the latter. also, you suggested that i read. HAHAHA!! me read? i've been stuck on that carl sagan book (that i'm ACTUALLY interested in) for over two years now! but if i find myself in a library somewhere i may look up this book (if only to read the first ten pages and then decide that i know more than the author and don't want to listen to anymore of their crap... as it happens with many other books, unfortunately... or maybe fortunately). hmm... now the title of this blogger post makes sense huh? maybe if they made that book into an hour-long documentary on the discovery channel....
okay, i just read an excerpt from the book... thumbs down. i can tell from the excerpt because i kept skipping every few sentences and i still knew what he was talking about. that means: excessive wordiness (aka, "full of crap"). haha, nah, i have low tolerance for meaningless words when reading a book (probably why i don't ever read fiction, it doesn't seem worth it to me to read about something that's not real). i need more textbook, less personal inferences. anyway, i did like one line that he used though, "change is the hallmark of nature" or something like that. totally true. so why are all these conservationists trying to preserve all these endangered species and stuff. well, obviously because they probably suffered loss of life at a much more accelerated rate because of humans, but aren't humans a part of nature? then isn't that just natural selection if all the three-toed smelly beetles are being driven from their homes by underground subways or whatever? nature will find a way to compensate, it always does, if not through biology then maybe through geophysics eh? i think that author provided a good example, everyone's worried about all the "indestructible" plastics that we produce, well, eventually maybe some little microbe will develop a gene that allows them to eat plastic, and then what an enourmous evolutionary advantage they would have to find easy and plentiful food sources. and hey, no microbes drum up the dna to do that, then maybe earthquakes and massive gravitational forces and magma flows will (over millions of year) convert all those plastics into some type of future fossil fuel to be used by living beings after all the humans are gone anyway. whoooooo knooooows! OOOOOOOOO! (imagine me saying that like a ghost)
That's exactly what the author was saying on the Daily Show. i didn't actually read the excerpt, but the author was going on how plastic eating microbes would inevitably develop and other new species would evolve to make it seem as if the human race barely existed.
whoa! Didn't read all that before the vball game, sounds tremendous, your life and what you want it to be through your blog, I mean. Fun to read, funny indeed. p.s. you don't have to blame anyone for your buying anxieties, practice otherwise though if you think you've found the reason, and reprogram those firing synapses in the brain! Awesome. Liberty and freedom for all. 1015
