race

- CNN keeps talking about race as an issue in the primaries and were especially surprised that Clinto and Obama split the white vote evenly in Virginia, like white people weren;t gonna vote for a black guy. Well, CNN, you're a bunch of morons.

Guess what? The majority doesn't care about race. Minorities care about race, because they think their life is tough because they're a minority. Majorities don't care about race because they know their lives stink too. Of course, I'm generalizing. Race does play a part, usually in relatively new provinces/countires/papal states... (=P). BUT as a general rule for our country, race is not a major factor for whtie people. It is for Blacks, Hispanics, and most minorities.

- I don't think comedies about black families are funny. It's not cause I'm racist or anything, I just don't think black actors acting like black people is inherently funny. Movies about white families where the family is constantly yelling at each other are called heart-wrenching dramas. Movies about black families yelling at each other are HILARIOUS! (wha?) Being black (or white, or any color) is not inherently funny or entertaining. "Welcome home, Roscoe Something-or-other" is a the new martin lawrence comedy, btw. Find a trailer, imagine everyone is Asian or white or something other than black, and then tell me how it's funny.

- I think it's great Huckabee is still in it. McCain should be embarrassed. He should be getting shamed as conservatives flock to any candidate but him. So, now that Romney's out, I'm hopign Huckabee sticks around a bit to show McCain how much we don't like him.

losers

- "It takes all kinds to make a world, but some kinds we could do without." - Charles M. Schulz.

Aye, Mr. Schulz. Aye. And we call them "losers." Are you or is someone you know suffering from loserdom? Here are just a few telltale signs.

A. You and your friend/co-worker/significant other are going through drive-thru and they order something off the dollar menu, and you make them pay for it. I don't know how many times someone says "we have two separate orders" and they're both under 4 dollars. Bunch of losers.

B. Guys who take girls out and make them pay for their own meal. Ticks me off.

C. Any group of 4 people who order 4 items off the dollar menu but can only pay by credit card. Not a single one of you in the car has a fiver? Really? (Our creidt card machine goes down for about half an hour every night to reset; I understand one or two people being out of cash, but there were four people in that car...)

D. People who really think it matters between MSU and UoM. I mean, a rivalry is nice, but if you're insane about it, that's kind of losery.

E. People who pick teams that aren't their own state (or somehow related to them through family, past residency, etc.), and then get sulky when they lose. Come on, they're not even your team! Disappointment is okay, but who outside of Boston and Boston-born people really cares that the Patriots lost? Apparently, people in Alma Michigan.

F. People who don't know who Charles M. Schulz is.

G. Not Conan O'brian, Jon Stewart, and Steven Colbert. That mock brawl they had was the funniest thnig I've seen on youtube in a long time.

super bowl

- Heh. Heheheh. That was great. Yeah, I wanted the Patriots to win 19 straight, 'cause now it will probably never happen. But you just had to love them going down to the GIANTS. They seemed so arrogant.

After Moss and Brady hooked up for that touchdown in the fourth, you know all they said to each other when they put their helmets together was "Tom Brady/Randy Moss" like some bizzaro William Shatner bit. Every overthrown pass? "I'm Tom Brady! I can do whatever I want!" He had to be thinking it.

And Eli Manning has a superbowl ring. You have any idea how badly Peyton wishes he were an NFC quarterback? He'd be there every year!

- So this guy at work totally does not get teh whole 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week thing. He'll ask questions like "it's 5:30am right now, in 24 hours it will be...?" Or "seven days from the eleventh..., it will be the 20th, right?" (not kidding, that actually happened) So I've started to mess with him. I say stuff like "It's 7am, so 24 hours will be 7pm, tomorrow, right?" He stares for a minute, and I say "Yeah, okay," to myself, in a self-concluding way. And he says, "yeah." He's like my own personal Dwight.

- Hacking PC RPG games is fun. I know a lot of people say "but that takes all the fun out of it!" BUT THEY'RE WRONG! My latest is dungeon master. Giving your starting party 800 mana apiece is FUN. Get away from me with that "challenges are good" stuff. This is about establishing every kind of superiority over blue meanies and mummies!

- Playing Halo again, but ever since Halo 3 came out, there are hardly any players online for Halo 1. So that's sad.

- Can't wait for Dave's wedding. Yuisa better come.

- Mike and Emily had their baby. Congratulations to them! I hear she's beautiful, but for some reason still haven't seen a picture. Or the actual baby. But I guess that's akin to getting a picture of Johnny Depps' kids. Now that they're on easy street in Fenwick, they've become so elitist. Probably have their own milking cow, too! I'm kidding, in case the sarcasm was too realistic for you. I know, my tone wasn't giving any hints. Pay closer attention, eh?

- Psych is such a fantastic show. "Can you look up any John Does? While your at it, look up all the Does. Tae Kwan, Play, Cookie, Do Ci-" I love that show.

- Obama is such an inspirational guy. He's inspired me to do so many things, like boycott all things Obama. Barack Hussein. Hmm, a comic strip about a lebonese coal miner named Barack Hussein, who is desperately trying to find his lost donkey, could be hilarious. Or not; only time will tell.
