Rambling


To be honest I don’t have any idea why I have a blog, I’m not a writer, I don’t want to be a writer, in fact, my major doesn’t even require me to take College Writing II.  Don’t ask me why, it’s not like we engineers are writing three page papers every week, citing sources, and putting together bibliographies so we don’t get accused of plagiarizing.  The only source citing I do is “Table A-17” (the table for ideal-gas properties of air), like you care….and when I say “you” I’m probably talking to three people.  However my last blog got 30 hits, couple more and I’ll be selling Google advertisements and making enough money to put my future kids through college, all 8 of them.  I exaggerated there for humor, I really only want 3.  I’ve been listening to a lot of rap lately mostly Eminem and Na Palm with a pinch of Lil Wayne and Kanye West.  For some reason I think I can rap along with Eminem and if somebody were to watch me I would be making a fool of myself.  Never been a big rap fan and I’m still not but listening to the lyrics you begin to realize how brilliant these guys are, especially when they rap at a blazing lyrical rate.  I want a Mad Men wardrobe for Christmas, maybe a little more updated:


3 tailored suits, 2 coats/jackets, 10 tailored dress shirts (2 white, the rest different colors), 5 tailored pants/slacks, 4 pairs of dress shoes, a slew of ties, a handful of cuff links, good selection of belts, more socks than I know what to do with (but no navy blue socks, do you know how hard it is to distinguish black from navy blue?).

If I were to have this wardrobe I would want a full time laundry lady who washes everything after one use and irons it all too.  I despise laundry, it takes a lot of time and you have to be extra careful with the delicate stuff because nothing is worse than ruining a freshly updated wardrobe via washer and dryer.  When I think of Heaven I see an endless amount of socks (preferably no-show black socks), the feeling you get when you put on a new pair is equivalent to walking on a cloud.  Heaven will also have wood floors too (along with the gold streets) so we can slide around in our new socks.  I don’t know how to segway into the next sentence so I’m jumping in head first…comments on the internet are ridiculous, stupid, a waste of time to read, reek of arrogance, self centered, fact-less, heartless, pointless, irrelevant, and spam-filled.  Nothing is good enough, something is always better, somebody posted first, second, third ect.  What are we coming to? There’s no way to monitor it all, we will end up teaching it in school instead of home ec, but then mothers (and fathers (didn’t want to be sexist)) don’t know how to cook, so families go to McDonalds for dinner five times a week leading to obesity being the number one killer in America.  All thanks to those “wise” people posting comments on the internet.   

Understand that this post is nothing but me writing off the top of my head, so if it’s choppy, doesn’t make sense, contains a lot of commas…don’t hate.

  1. When people ask me why I'm so cynical about the future of mankind, I tell them to spend ten minutes looking at comments on YouTube. That usually explains a lot.

    I second the new socks feeling. When I get new socks, I slowly introduce them to the rotation by wearing just one new pair for each wash cycle. That way, I'm in a state of perpetual excitement in the mornings -- always hoping that today's the day that I'll reach into my drawer and pull out that little slice of Heaven. Anybody who has a hard time getting out of bed in the morning needs to try that approach imo. It works wonders.
