Things you learn in your first year of college...

I've learned some valuble lessons as a freshman. First, and most importantly, don't sleep on the bottom bunk. Your drunk roommate can piss/puke on you from the top, and trust me, it's not pleasant. Secondly, don't let a drunk girl sleep in your bed. Once again, drunks tend to not be able to hold their bladders/bowels. And finally, no matter what the circumstances, you CAN make a beer pong table out of anything. Take this for example: Some guys in my dorm down the hall made a beer pong table out of an empty bunk bed support and two chairs. Creative and resourceful! And Always supply the ping-pong ball if they don't have one...they'll give you free beer. Now more importantly, go to classes; it's the only way to really learn. Do your assignments; it's the only way to pass. And if all else fails, drop out and start a computer program company; it worked for Bill Gates. Ilook forward to the things I'll learn in my next three years...if I make it that long.

Welcome 2006. I am sure you'll be just as shitty as 2005!

It's a sad day when you realize that every year gets worse than the last; it's inevitable though. My days a youngster used to be just fine. The time passed, and I grew with the years. I forged relationships, broke hearts, and even had my heart broken. Though I claimed her to be Satan, it was what Frued would have called denial, and to some extent, I suppose it was. That's over now, and I have a new list of shitty adventures to endeavor. College, for one, is the main shitty adventure. I wish someone would have told me how much college sucked before I applied and spent a whole semester of my sweet time in it. Unless you jump on the bandwagon and become a drunken idiot, there is not much fun in college. Especially my college, with a whopping 3,000 students. I should have put more thought into that one...., which brings me to my New Years resolutions.

Stop Smoking-If it were easy, it wouldn't be worth it, right?

Go to a bigger school next year-And I plan to.

Maybe fall in love-It wouldn't be so bad...would it?

Be healthier-I used to be able to run 2 miles in under 12 minutes. I'd be lucky if I could run a mile in under 12 minutes now.

I'm sure I'll encounter more things that I want to do, but for now it's a start. So...here's to 2006. Just as shitty as 2005.

I'll Never Pop My Collar or Diet.

A great writer once said

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. -- `Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' -- Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."

So, why then, are we so eager to conform? This goes into everyone trying to look the same through their clothes and an obsession to be thin.  American Eagle, Hollister, Aeropostale,The Buckle, Forever 21, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Abercrombie hold about 10 pair of jeans for every american daughter that walks in to their stores, and those 10 pair of jeans are enough to bankrupt the average american dad. Indeed, these clothes do look nice, but are extremely over priced. And you know why? Not because they cost that much to make, but because they know that teenage girls will do ANYTHING to be "cool" and "fit in". This seems to be the only way to get in the "in-crowd". Wear nice clothes, pop your collar, do whatever it takes to look cool eventhough you may look like a fool to everyone else. I really wish someone would smack these kids and let them know that the clothes don't make who the person is...they decide that.

And so on to the obsession with being thin. Anorexia is not natrual, contrary to popular belief.

(mmmmmm, sexy....kinda)

This may not be attractive, however, niether is this....

So...There is a pretty wide middle land and you should be happy if you're in it. I've never supported being overly obese becuase it's unhealty, but then again, so it being extremely under weight like Mr. Donner, here.

And so, we go back to Mr. Emerson's words.

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds..."

This powerful opening statement basically says that the consistency that we bring upon ourselves is a hobgoblin(in wich is "An object or a source of fear, dread, or harassment; a bugbear", according to Websters Dictionary) of little minds. Little minds being those who conform. You may be a truly great person, but be hiding in in fear of rejection or whatever else you might fear. Like Mr. Emerson says...don't hold anything back. Be who you are...not who other people would want you to be. It is better the be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you're not.

I think I'm done for now...

Let's talk about things that piss me off.  I am in a chat room, and it amazes me that so many people these days are internet whores!  I'm sorry to say, but so many girls, and guys(I'm not singling girls out, because it's not only them), are exploiting themselves online! How hard is it to have a girlfriend or a boyfriend that you have sex with?  Are people that desperate that they resort to the internet to masterbate to what another person is typing? What in the hell is this all about?  Do letters and numbers make you horny? I know I sure can get off from what someone types.  Then again, you have the high-quality internet whores who have webcams. Wow.....now we're getting somewhere.  It's better than phone sex...almost. Only one thing. You're still a hopeless loser, destined to never be laid because you're on your computer trying to score internet ass.  I should really do a survey and ask these people what their hobbies are, and I'm sure 99.9% of them would include one or more of the following and then some:

-Magic the Gathering

-StarTrek

-Games Workshop

-Vampires the Mascarade

-(insert others here)

Obviously the target audience for these internet whores, whom I will further refer to as IW's, are never gonna get laid in real life. The majority of them still live at home with their mothers eating bagel bites while watching  the latest anime and jacking off to the characters in that when they aren't beating their meat to the IW's.  Now, if you're like me, this will piss you off to.  I am constantly bombarded by annonymous IM's from the IW's asking me to         " Cum and watch them play with thier college dorm mates".  Well holy shit! This is an insult to me! I'm not one of those guys that are never gonna get laid.  Someone beat ya to it girls...sorry to say, so you can keep your webcams and college dorm mates to yourself.  To anyone offended by this...I don't care.  It pisses me off.

Well, this is my first post, and I'm not really all too sure what to write about.  I've got a lot to say, but I suppose I could save those for later days.  As for right now, my life is going great.  I'm happy, I've got a great girl and I love her. Aside from the fact that my stupid car is dying, my life isn't too bad. I'm gonna be a senior and have put in hundereds of hours into wrestling and band this year, hoping to win states in band, and at least place in state in wrestling. Band will be no problem, I'm pretty sure, considering we have won the last six years in a row, however, wrestling is something I have to work on. I made a goal freshman year to place in states by the time I graduate. So, here it is. This is my year to shine. It's do or die. Now or never.  I'm going for it with all I've got.  Anyway, I don't wanna ramble on about stupid stuff anymore, so for now I'll be done.  Until next time....have fun.
