    • Things I Have No Patience For

      • I am a pretty patient person when it comes to some things (I can wait and wait for something with no problem), but there are some things that just drive me crazy. And since I am already a bit crazy naturally, I become super crazy.


        1) Exceptionally Poor Grammar:

        I understand the occasional typo. Still, people these days have no respect for my eyes when they type without a single capital letter or any hint of proper punctuation. And these are people with, at the very least, high school degrees! Some with COLLEGE DEGREES! That is unacceptable.

        So maybe this says more about my personal life than I would like it to, um...Last night I looked at the Craigslist personal ads for the first time and the writing was absolutely horrible. That was all I could think about (a close second: how gross most of them were). I guess there is that...

        2) Dumb People in General

        I suppose these two go hand-in-hand. And yet, this deserves its own category. I define dumb people as those who show no interest in expanding themselves, the incurious. I have no idea how to talk to these people and they are always selfish assholes. It makes sense. You think you are perfect, so you have no interest in anything outside your purview. It would feel sad for them if it was not so annoying.

        3) Terrible Music

        Nothing ruins my mood more than terrible music. I can not be happy with crap playing. The problem, however, is most popular music today is bad; almost as if they are trying to piss me off. Autotune can die forever. Mainstream hip-hop has been dead for a long time and mainstream rock is in even worse shape. Soul music is nonexistent. How sad. Luckily there are music blogs out there that can turn me on to the less popular acts that are putting out good stuff.

    • My Favorite Comfort Food

      • My favorite comfort food is vanilla ice cream. There are a couple of different things I put on it. Bananas are a mainstay. Not only are they tasty, they are also good for you! Ice cream certainly needs whipped cream too. That isn't healthy, but it's still good.

        What else? Sometimes I put Reece's Peanut Butter cups in there. Other times chocolate syrup. And still others an apple cinnamon topping (it makes the ice cream taste like apple pie!). Never do any of those go on the ice cream at the same time. I believe it is good to have Standards.

    • "Sideways Stories From Wayside School" Makes Me Nostalgic

      • I remember reading Sideways Stories from Wayside School back in grade school. I would read a lot in those days. We had a competition to see who could read the most and I was only ever really challenged by one person. Kind of nerdy actually.

        Anyway, this book is weird. The school was supposed to be built with thirty classrooms side by side, but was instead built thirty stories high (there is also no 19th floor, sort of). All the students and teachers appear to be slightly crazy, kooky at the very least and one of them turns out to be a dead rat wearing a bunch of raincoats.

        Yeah, I was just as insane back then as I am today.

    • New rule: No Axe Body Spray

      • If I was in charge today the world would be a better place, for me. And that's all that matters, right? (To me that is all that matters and if I am in charge then that's all that will matter to you too!)


        No Axe Body Spray
        Only the biggest douchebags use Axe Body Spray. They drench themselves in the stuff and it smells terrible. The commercials are terrible. "Use this and girls will attack you all the time because they're stupid as hell." Well, I've seen that episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Xander did not seem to have that great of a time. Plus, did I mention it was only used by the biggest douchebags (and the small ones too)?


        No More Reality Shows or MTV
        A name should mean something. Reality shows that do not depict reality are stupid. Banned. MTV just completely gave up on the "Music" part of its name. Banned.


        No White Guys
        I know. It sounds harsh, but hear me out. One night I got out of work and I heard this white guy say, "I'm going to the ol' Slaughter-burger if you guys want to meet up with me." It's called Whataburger, idiot. Plus, I am pretty sick of seeing those Teabaggers. So, you know what? I am a fickle dude. You guys are banned. (Sidenote: white girls can stay)


        I Choose the Songs on the Radio
        The music on the radio is sickening. All stations will be Pandora stations that I choose the seeds for. The end.

    • I'm checking out Pan American Center with my keys to Las Cruces, NM

      • If you were given the keys to the city, what is the first place you would unlock? There are not too many amazing places I would care to unlock; Las Cruces is not known, necessarily, as an entertainment mecca. Still, one place I've been to hundreds of times is the Pan American Center. So I would choose there.

        The Pan Am is the stadium where NMSU plays. I love playing basketball on indoor courts and I've only played on the Lou Henson Court twice. Back then I worked at the arena and on our breaks I would run to my dorm, grab my basketball and run back so we could play. That was fun. And I'm sure getting a full court game going would be great!
