"Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not because you need to sleep. And when at last it is over, there is no evidence: no weapon, no blood, and no body. The only clue might be the shadows beneath your eyes or a terribly thin line near the corner of your mouth indicating something has been suffered, that in the privacy of your life you have lost something and the loss is too empty to share."

So, I'm clicking around on StumbleUpon, which now takes up most of my day and I see this random website which is just basically a picture of a couple of metal coat hangers next to a stool. And on the website it says: This is what an abortion clinic would look like, if abortions were illegal. Save lives: keep abortions safe and legal. Abortions happen the same amount in countries where abortion is outlawed as they do in countries where abortion is legal
Yea, so I totally agree with this sentiment, then I look at the bottom where there just happens to be one of those random ads by Google and guess what it was for? (this is almost exactly how it looks on the site and it's right under the normal text)
1 flat stomach rule: obey
I cut down 8 lbs of stomach fat in 1 month by obeying this 1 old rule. Wu-YiSource.com
What the fuck man?? Flat stomach as in no baby inside kinda thing? 8 pounds loss like...8 pounds of baby? How much worse could this random advertisement get? Wasn't there something else we could have put there? WHAT THE FUCK MAN!!!

P.S. In my GIS class today, I saw the kid next to me doing that classic turning-the-screen-away-slightly-in-order-to-not-freak-out-the-person-next-to-me thing. So I had to know what he was looking at, so I kinda leaned back. Of course, it was a machine gun for sale. Great. I'm probably the first person he's going to kill.

Another weird shuttle related encounter: I'm waiting in Pegasus Pointe for the shuttle when out of nowhere a kid who's been pacing back and forth near me decides to tap me on the shoulder. It takes me a while to realize he wants to say something more than what time is it or something, so I finally get around to taking my headphones off (I thought those were supposed to protect me from being spoken to??). He looks pretty nervous by then (he's probably overthought he statement in his head) regardless he then says "Sorry for asking you this, but how ridiculous do I look, on a scale from one to like twelve". I'm not even entirely sure how the scale system works or why it goes to twelve specifically so I reply "Uh, not ridiculous at all." Although, true be told, he had a nerd mullet and one of those ugly fat ties, so yeah, I give him an eleven. |

I saw this sign on campus today:
"Love God?
Love Guns?
Bitter about it?
Join UCF
Republicans"
UH....is that supposed to be a joke? That seems like something the UCF democrats would set up to make fun of the Republicans. Hmmm... |

So I'm waiting outside of Millican Hall for the shuttle and some guy who is sitting on the ground decides to stand up. I happen to look over because he sorta falls a bit while trying to hop to his feet. A short while later I feel like he's looking at me, so I look over. I can't help. I didn't really think anything of it. Then I sit down on the bus and he's plops down right smack next to me. After a couple of seconds he says excuse me and motions for me to take my headphones off (the only things protecting me from the rest of the world). So I humor him and he says "Pardon me for asking but are you single?" Now, normally, I would have snapped off a no so quick it would make your head spin but unfortunately I was a. super depressed about actually being single for the first time in well.....forever and b. felt weird about having to lie about it, so it took me a couple seconds to say no. So he kinda repeats the answer in a question form (No?) as if to trick me back into being single. Then I just say no again and throw my headphones back on. And then we both just sat there in mutually awkward unatractiveness.
Basically, the moral of the story is....why can't I simply look at hot dudes twice and get them to ask me out? Dammit. |

Well, I had a really great Labor Day weekend for a change! (thanks to Itana and Kim for hanging out with me!) The only funny story that I currently wish to share happened at Howl at the Moon (a super sweet dueling piano bar.) It's a fairly mixed crowd as far as age is concerned, which is cool with me because all those old folks listen to totally jam music. Anyway, so there is an older gentlemen sitting at a table next to me (it's pretty crowded, so the tables are right next to each other). And randomly he taps me on the shoulder during the venerable song "I Like it, I Love it" and asks "You look like a thinker, so what do you think about this song?" I response by saying I don't know the song (although I do) and he says "Yea, neither do I, but what do you think of it?" And I said it's ok, all the while Itana and Kim are trying to figure out what the hell is going on because the can't hear him. So I try to just ignore him and keep listening to the band. Later, I get up to go to visit the bathroom (which is a whole other weird story!) and I walk back in front of this guy. He waits a short while and taps me on the shoulder again and mysteriously says "I'm looking foward to seeing you on national TV in about ten years."
Wait, what?
So I just nod sorta and continue ignoring him. I hear him say to someone close behind me "What is America coming to?" I don't know if that was about me or not but it was strange nonetheless. Thankfully he left soon after. Situations like this make me realize I need to come equipped with a sign that says "Perfectly sober, so what you have to say might not make any damn sense" .... or something, perhaps a little shorter. |

Everytime I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
(Missing you)
Since you've been gone away
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
I ain't missing you
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
No matter what my friends say
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
There's a message in the wire
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
(Missing you)
Since you've been gone away
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
I ain't missing you
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
No matter what my friends say
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
(I'm missing you)
And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you at all
(Missing you)
Since you've been gone away
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
I ain't missing you
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
No matter what my friends say
(Missing you)
(I'm missing you)
I ain't missing you
(Missing you)
I ain't missing you
(Missing you)
I can lie to myself
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all
(Missing you)
Since you've been gone away
(Missing you)
I ain't missing you
(Missing you)
(Missing you)
No matter what my friends say
(Missing you)
(I'm missing you)

There's nothing more awkward than being sick the first week of school.
Besides that, I saw this overdressed girl walking down that wooden boardwalk-type-thing behind the student union while I was going to the shuttle. She had on a ridiculous dress and even more ridiculous heels. Don't get me started. But she was walking semi-crippled style. I couldn't help but wonder is this the result of those god awful heels and the unevenness of this boardwalk or is she actually crippled and I'm going to hell?
The good news is that I'm already going. |
