So it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here and I thought today would be as good a day as any.

Today:
I bought a car
Mowed my Lawn…Picked up the clippings.
Felt a slight but undeniable pang of jealousy while looking at my neighbour’s lawn.
Renegotiated my salary.
Told a local kid he needs to wear a helmet.
Complained about the “Damn Democrats fiscal irresponsibility”
Secretly hoped that kid would fall of his bike because he’s a punk and once asked me “where [my] little Honda was at”
Got a paycut – or a furlough as they are calling it.
Complained even more about THE GOD DAMN DEMOCRATS
Renegotiated salary -again.
Decided my boss was even cooler because he too likes to complain about the GDDP and told me the furlough would not affect any of us because it’s “retarded”
Got ready for tomorrow night’s trip to the next town over to see “Seasame Street Presents: Elmo Grows up”
Checked my portfolio…Lamented the fact that it’s not “Good. To really good”
Added to our 529
Questioned my home warranty company’s competence over the phone b/c my sink has not been fixed.
Fixed it myself.

I think it’s safe to say I’m an adult. Maybe it’s time to go pwn some noobs!!1!eleven!!

I wonder if anybody still plays counterstrike…

The irony of what I’m about to post boggles the mind.

I have spent hours today reading about the Kimmel occupation that took place at NYU earlier this week. I have immersed myself in it, completely baffled at the sheer stupidity of what I witnessed. At this time, please watch the youtube video provided.

There are numerous decent articles about the situation, but this one is the best. Why were they doing this? Well, you can see their demands here.

I refuse to believe that this is not some incredibly awesome viral marketing campaign for macbooks. I simply refuse to believe that this is real.

If this was a South Park episode, I would hail it as the funniest thing I had ever seen, boldly proclaiming it wittier and more intelligent that any humorous act ever. Honestly, Trey Parker and Matt Stone could not come up with anything funnier or more absurd than this. The person holding the camera, Alex Lotorto, could not be any more annoying or ill informed about what he’s trying to do. He boldly proclaims at the beginning of the video “You can not come in here! This is a student’s free space!” Try to wrap your head around that.

I’m just getting warmed up. Some of these are gems that you actually laugh out loud to. Did anyone get the idea that Alex wanted a consensus practice? Whatever that is?

-”Excuse me, brutality here.” Alex states, as an authority figure walks into the room. Um, brutality? To that poor desk? DON’T HURT THE DESK IT DOESN’T LIKE THAT.
-”We have the right to not cooperate with you.” Hahahahahahhahah.
-Alex mutters, at one point, that they “probably drink corporate water”. Hell yeah! Stick it to the man and their corporate water! As if this wasn’t stupid enough, they then start showing their macbooks and macbook chargers. Ohahahhahahahh. Don’t miss the one girl calling home on her cell phone, saying YOU HAVE TO CALL ME BACK! like this is the last thing she might ever get to say to her family.
-”We are trying to reach a consensus! We are trying to reach a consensus! We will do it without you.” hahahghaghahahhahahahha

I think the best part about all of this is that Alex, the cameraman, doesn’t even go to NYU. He goes to some stupid college that I’ve never heard of. Most of these kids have been expelled, per some news article I can’t find anymore, and I say THANK YOU NYU. I hope these kids spend years working at a 7-11 to pay off their student loans. Wait. This is NYU, these kid’s parents were putting them through school. The more you read about this story, the more hilarious and absurd it is. It’s eerily reminiscent of Alice falling into the rabbit hole, the characters and the twists and turns of events becoming even less believable than the one before it.

I’m running out of ways to express my disbelief. I’ll end saying that videos like this really make me lose hope in humanity. I pray to God these kids never enter the real world. It would break them in half without blinking an eye.

CNN appears to be quite enamored with new United States President Obama

This is so badass. Let’s be honest. How many of us have wanted to do this at one time or another?

You stay classy, Philadelphia. Sorry John.

It’s always gunny in Philadelphia

Amimated GIF of our Commander in Chief dodging a shoe at a press conference in Iraq today.

BAGHDAD — President Bush quickly ducked when a pair of shoes were hurled at him Sunday, but the protest showed it will be tougher to sidestep anger over the war here.

“This is a gift from the Iraqis. This is the farewell kiss, you dog,” shouted Muntadar al-Zeidi in Arabic as he threw his shoe at Bush during a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The shoe narrowly missed the president’s head.

Hoax call fuels Pakistan-India tensions

The A.P. is reporting that some jackass called Pakistan’s president pretending to be Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee. He made some “threatening comments,” pissed off Pakistan, and now they are on high alert. Higher alert… If the world ends b\c of some asshole prank-caller, I’ll be pissed.

So, which one of you was it?
