I get so frustrated and annoyed when people say something completely racist and then insist "But I'm not a racist..."
Yes you are! Everyone is! At least a little bit. Unless you have 100% understanding of every culture out there, you have some bit of racism inside even if you're not a hardcore KKK devotee. It's just a part of OUR culture and our human nature.
So shut up, you're racist.
(btw, the inspiration for this post comes from my persuasive communication course, where we discussed this story: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-02/21/content_10859686.htm. Quite interesting if you ask me.)

Alcohol Should Be Banned.
I am filled with so much hate right now. I want to quit my job soooooo badly you have NOOOOOOOOO idea. I feel like I'm being threatened right now by people I wrote up last night (listen, don't walk into my freaking room drunk at 3:30am by accident. it's not that hard) and I'm so mad and upset and I'm so done.
But I can't quit because I want to go for an RD job after college.
But they went above me and all jumped their 300+ lb selves on my ceiliing to wake me up and started talking shit about me. I went to bed at 6:30am after writing people up for 3 hours. So they wake me up at 10:30 as their revenge.
In other news I'm scared and sad and can't get back to sleep. And I have to work again tonight.
Alcohol should be banned.
Except for when I want a glass of wine, because God knows I couldn't get through this job without those glasses of wine or grande sangria swirl margaritas (with a sugar rim). (see the small version above)

I Love Spending Money...
I bought myself a present I can't afford! Hooray!
It's the cutest little orange 8 GB ipod nano. I figure it's a gift for my heart, seeing as I dont' have a functioning ipod anymore and without an ipod, I don't exercise as much as I used to. So the logical thing to do was splurge and spend 100+ dollars on the adorable little thing. I'm still figuring out all the cool things you can do with it...yay!

My Material Guy
In every relationships' fight or break-up, one of the people (generally the male in a heterosexual relationship) says something really dumb.
In a discussion about whether we should be together or not, this is what my special someone had to say:

Folky812: it's ok
Folky812: you've already made sacrifices
Folky812: i've made sacrifices
Folky812: we've both made sacrifices to try to make this work
"Brian": What about all my stuff?
...priorities, right? ;)

Hmmm...
"Fireplaces, eggnog, Makers Mark in the lodge, love on a bear rug: no comment"
...where would I be without the help of my professor in writing a song about Winter.
Cue the awkward theme music...

Put things into perspective..
A professor of philosophy stood before his class with some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks about two inches in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was full.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly and watched as the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. The professor then asked the students again if the jar was full. They chuckled and agreed that it was indeed full this time.
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. The sand filled the remaining open areas of the jar. “Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar signifies your life. The rocks are the truly important things, such as family, health and relationships. If all else was lost and only the rocks remained, your life would still be meaningful. The pebbles are the other things that matter in your life, such as work or school. The sand signifies the remaining “small stuff” and material possessions.
If you put sand into the jar first, there is no room for the rocks or the pebbles. The same can be applied to your lives. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are truly important.
Pay attention to the things in life that are critical to your happiness and well-being. Take time to get medical check-ups, play with your children, go for a run, write your grandmother a letter. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, or fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first – things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just pebbles and sand.

You're kidding me, right? Growww Upppp
HAHA what a dumbass. Some psychotic lady with too much time on her hands (which is odd cause she should be off peeing with her kid on her lap) decided to act like a middle schooler and anonymously comment on my aunt's fabulous blog. She basically said that my aunt shouldn't have her dream job or take time out of her day to, uh, I don't know, USE THE BATHROOM, because she should be taking care of her two sons and her adoptive daughter, Lucy.
Soooo stuuuupiddd.
Anyway, just had to rant about it here to avoid freaking out via an angry comment or anything. It's remarkable how I thought jealous, insecure people would stop doing things like this in, hmm, MIDDLE SCHOOL. Oy...
