A Big Day for the 7th Notion

So I was reading my favorite blog, 'Revenege of the Nerd', and I finally got around to commenting (it was very cool and about Star Trek). Now, in order to get the signifigance of this next part you have to understand that this is a vert popular, very well written blog (and its very cool, but not about Star Trek). She (the nerd) turned down my marriage proposal but apparently liked my blog enough to link it to hers (albeit along with like two dozen others). So this means I have another reader (I think I'm up to five) and I'm linked to a much cooler site! Maybe I should make August 15th a 7th Notion holiday (I don't think 'nerdday' will do since frankly most of my days are like that...maybe SabilaDay)...

P.S. I'll link 'Revenege of the Nerd' to this page real soon-like.

This Way Forward

I've always had mild disdain for people who wear clothes just to make some statement about themselves (humorous t-shirts aside), mostly because I think its just posing that people shouldn't rely on superficial things to define themselves or try to come off as something they aren't. This veiw is probably largely due to my long standing habit of not caring about clothes or engineering a specific 'look'. This bias should perclude me from trying to get some 'look' that doesn't fit who I actualy am (whatever that is). But recently I've been wearing my Red Sox hat backwards which does an astonishingly good job of making me look more punkish and badass, which is my intention.

I've been wanting to update my look (and personality to a lesser degree) by being more punkish and badass (the tattoo is coming, trust me) mostly for the benefit of new freshman (especialy on the Cross Country team). This alone I don't have a problem with, but the whole hat thing runs against the grain a little...or at least I feel like it ought to.

The effect its had already (I've only been wearing my hat this way for a few days) is surprising. Walking down the crowded, suburban streets (filled mostly with old people) I feel all mean and rebelliously teenaged and more confident. I guess this is due to how I beleive people are perceiving me, which might be a bad thing (being defined by others' opinions).

But for now I'm keeping it, and sticking to my story that by looking meaner I'll dissuade muggers and other such undesirables.

Binary Fission

Let me just say this: I'm for it.

Good Day

Yesterday (or maybe the last few days have all just blended together) was a great day for bumper sticker spotting (what can I say, its a hobby). Now, funny bumper stickers are all well and good, I think the best are the ones that leave you wondering "What the fuck does that even mean?" So here are the stickers that really caught my eye recently...

"Make Soup...Not War" (printed by a soup cafe in NY)
"Witches Heal"
"Dominant Paradigm"

These might not seem really momentous, but it was the best day for bumper stickers I've had since the infamous "Ninja Pizza" encounter.

carbon di-fucking-oxide

Okay...it's really hot here on the East Coast (the better one) right now and its starting to bug me. I've hardly been outside for a few days except to workout (I actualy ran on a treadmill today!) which I have to do in the dark while fending off pedifiles that hide in bushes.

Yeah, thats kind of a diversion but I just want to take a moment to make fun of overprotective mothers who are convinced that if they let their kids outside at night they'll get raped or eaten. Maybe its just because I live in an exceptionaly boring suberb, but its really not that dangerous out so relax. Kids can deal with a little adversity, remember in your day when you'd get rocks thrown at your head just for fun. Just carry a knife.

Anyways, its really hot and I hate it. I'm blaming global warming 'cuz I'm a stereotypical sci-fear (hee hee) mongering liberal (ish). So yeah, I'm really angry with carbon dioxcide right now. I think the shadow government should collect it all and convert the atoms into useful ozone (O₃) and huge piles of charcoal (which is carbon).

A little too far

okay, i realize that stateshave to advertise to get tourism money but at some point enough is enough...

...and that point is liscence plates. now, theres a lot of dumb license plate slogans (like NJ calling itself the "garden state") especialy North Carolina's ("First in Flight")...i mean seriously, has your state acheived nothing since the wright bros who would've flown in any state?! but what i'm actualy talking about is license plates that are used as advertising, specificly Maine's which is "vactionland". first of all; its not, second of all; thats realy dorky...you've got a whole state (okay...that state is maine but stil...), cant you come up with something else? Ontario does it too ("yours to discover"). states: this has gotta stop while you still have your pride (so NC can go ahead, cuz its too late).

(bftsob)

but why?

So i was watching this show on SciFi the other night, "Dark Angel", which is about this rly hot girl who was engineered to kick a boatload of ass and now uses her powers to be sexy, ride motorcycles, and battle evil. obviously its not particularly good quality television, and obviously it hinges largely on the attractiveness of the lead actress (jessica alba i think). the only problem, at least fo me, is that ms. (oh god let it be 'ms') Alba is too hot...its almost painful to watch. i actualy cant deal with it, especialy when shes trying to get laid ot using her whiles to fight crime (as all female superheros seem to). maybe some guys enjoy watching hot girls in seductive situations but i think i develop too much of an attraction to girls on tv to want to see some other guy getting some from her. so why make a show with such a painfully hot lead? sucks for me...
