It's the weekend! And yesterday Tiger Woods gave a press conference, publicly apologizing for his poor judgment (and seeking more attention, of course). My thoughts?
I really can't stand Tiger Woods. My respect for him had nothing to do with his golf abilities, and was based solely on how he treated his wife. Now, there’s just nothing left… I really don’t understand the big deal that is STILL going on about Tiger. I mean, really. He cheated, we get it. He’s a lying and sneaksy feline, we get that too. But come on, really.
No one would be left
To run our country if we
Killed off all cheaters
Think about it. If we were to force everyone cheating on a spouse into a 1 year break like Tiger is doing, there would be no one left in Washington, no one to play any sport, no one to run late night talk shows, and no one to make movies for us. So seriously, lay off Tiger. And I know that though his name may suggest otherwise- he’s only human, like the rest of us.

Dirty, Dirty, Dandies
Sorry for my lack of posts these past two days, I have been under the weather with a bad stomach bug (which started with me vomiting pretty colors and ended in the ER). As a result, I have not really had time to post or to pay attention to things for posting.
People often think of today's teenagers as being perverted and dirty minded. This perception is not untrue. However, they tend to fail to take into account this fact:
Everyone, no
Matter sex, race, or age is
A bit perverted.
Really, even hundreds of years ago, when you'd expect everybody to be all prim and proper, people (and upperclass ones at that) had dirty, dirty minds (in fact, the Hasbro game "Dirty, Dirty, Dandies" is based on them). Seriously. In my English class, we're reading the works of Oscar Wilde, Verlaine, Baudelaire, Michael Field (who is actually 2 lesbians), and Von Sacher-Masoch (whose last name is the origin of the word "masochism."). They write poems and pieces about lesbians and sex and all sorts of artful and perverted things. They are dirty minded individuals, so next time your parents chide for a "that's what she said" joke, remind them that some of the greatest writers in history were perverts.

The Weather Outside is Spiteful
Today is Tuesday! Nothing really important is happening today. Or this week as a whole, for that matter.
The Olympics are still going on though. And we're OWNING. We have almost TWICE as many medals as the person in 2nd place (we have 8, they have 5). Sadly, I haven't had much time to watch, but it's nice to know that we're able to continue our Olympic dominance (surprise surprise).
It's not especially cold today, though it is snowing. However, the other day I heard something a little depressing.
It is sad to hear
That the high for the day is
Just below freezing.
Really. The other day I was listening to the radio and the announcer said that. It just sounds depressing and makes you realize exactly where you are. What might be even more upsetting is the fact that freezing is not that cold in Ithaca. Right now it has to be below freezing, but I'm really not that cold (though I am indoors right now). I suppose if it's not too windy then the cold isn't too bad. qefkfneqfknqqfew bleh. That's all I can think to talk about right now. I'm lame like that.

Night of the Living Dead
Yesterday's concert was ridiculous!
Apparently, all
The hippies thought that they were
In the Seventies.
Really, it's was like Woodstock, indoors! All of them dancing around with their mad dance moves, including the spin-around-in-circles, and the spin-halfway-then-spin-back-and-repeat (my personal favorite). The fact that Barton Hall is indoors also didn't seem to discourage anyone from lighting up. The room reeked of a combination of cigarettes smoke, pot smoke, sweat, and hippieness. People were lying down and/or passed out left and right, and there we plenty of people using acid.
While manning the drink station, I received a number of comical comments, including "is this water spiked" "where can I buy alcohol" and "this.... cup.... is.... ADORABLE!" (commenting on the small size of the cups... I was hoping someone was going to say "am I giant, or is this cup really tiny or is it just the drugs," but alas no one did). Now keep in mind, most of these people are in their 40s, 50s, or 60s. They were literally partying like it was 1977, and it was hilarious. Imagining going back in time and seeing your parents back in their hippie days. That's what this was.
Also, Furthur requested more than enough liquid to drown Seattle (not quite enough for a real city though). We got them at least 6 GIANT packs of bottled water, a ton of smart water, some sparkling water, Odwalla, lots of soda, Red Bull, these 4$ teas, and a bunch of protein shakes. In the end, I came home with Furthur's Kleenez Box and cashews. Score!

Happy "You're-Single-And-All-Alone,Sucks-To-Be-You" Day
It's Valentine's Day! Everyone's favorite holiday of the year! But not actually.
Valentine's Day is
Loved by all, except for men
And single people.
So it's pretty much just the holiday for taken women. I guess it's supposed to be the one day of the year that girls get to feel like they're the queen. I read an article saying that Valentine's Day is supposedly great for our economy, since it's completely commercialized. I can see that. Except that it's hell for like 75% of the population. It gives men the opportunity to feel like slaves, and single people a reminder that they're lonely.
You know what I don't get? Why is it called Valentine's Day? It's named after St. Valentine, who must have been a priest or something. If that was the case, it would mean he probably didn't get much loving, so it doesn't make much sense to ironically name a day about love after a saint. Wouldn't it seem more fitting if it were Venus or Cupid day?
If you were to ask me, we shouldn't need Valentine's Day. Women in relationships shouldn't need it to be a validation of their man's devotion (every day should be that), and single people certainly don't need the reminder that they're alone. Oh, and our economy certainly shouldn't need more people wasting money (they do that enough).
