Dear graduates December 2004 and on,

Life is too short. You’ve all heard it before a million times. What you haven’t heard however is that after graduation, life is over. That quickly. Well I guess not that quickly. Once you… Nevermind, I won’t get into the technicalities. What are these technicalities you don’t dare speak of? I said I’m not getting into them. So you graduate and you have your whole life ahead of you. A whole life of waking up, going to work, coming home and catching some TV and going back to bed. What do you have in between? By doing the math,

8 hours of work +
8 hours of sleep +
1 hour of travel to and from work +
1 hour getting ready for work = 18 hours

you would probably say there are about 6 hours or so of free time in a day. Sure, keep telling yourself that. I’ll leave it to you to try and find them, because they do not exist. See, once you graduate, there are only about 20 hours in a day. That 24 hour thing only applies to people in school. So with that in mind, that’ll leave you about 2 hours of free time, and what the hell can you do in 2 hours? So have fun, cause I’m tired of writing this post. It’s gone on long enough. Bold and italics and equations… I’m spent. All I can say is start planning your 2 hours now or else it’s immensity will overwhelm you. Hah. I crack myself up.

Just keep your head up.

In 4 years at Penn State, I can’t recalling seeing more than an inch size picture of an Eagle on the front page after a win; and they won quite a bit. I’d say 9.999% of the time, the Eagles would be stuffed somewhere after page three. And State College and Philadelphia occupy the same state (in case you didn’t know). However, after 11 weeks of football in Las Vegas, Brian Westbrook has a picture taking up over 1/2 of the page in the Las Vegas Review Journal Sports section. I guess once you leave Philadelphia, you have to travel 2000 miles to see a winning team on the cover of the sports section. Ridiculous.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that the guy who purchased this Wal Mart gift card also probably voted for George Bush.

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Yeah, so I previously said I’d be losing my IST web space in April some time. Try sometime during the next couple weeks. So if one day you come looking for the page and it’s not there, I’m sure someone’ll let me know. My new tech support team will handle it. This is all of course as long as the page doesn’t go down tonight sometime before anyone reads this. That’d sure be funny wouldn’t it.

Weekly fantasy rant?

Bad fantasy week. Lowest point total since, oh, since I had Ahman Green on my team the first time. Why must I do this myself. I said I would avoid any Packer like the plague for the rest of the season, but I went and done it. They’ve been playing so hot, it was hard not to. But low and behold, I pick Ahman Green and he was hurt before I even turned the game on. And today was a first time Javon Walker day, but my powers over the Pack were even able to slow down him. Other than my QBs (I’m glad I stayed with McNabb), everything else was a bust. I dropped Reggie Wayne after 2 weeks of no production for Walker and got torched for it. He lit it up like Christmas came 5 weeks early, yes I said 5 weeks… Christmas is in less than 5 weeks.

Speaking of Christmas, it feels like it’s gonna be crappier and crappier. I’ve been working now for pretty much as long as the school year has been going on, and I have this feeling in my gut that I should have a 3 week break coming up. But no, I don’t get a day, let alone 3 weeks. Real life is weak.

Oh, I see in the Circuit City ad that Shawn Colvin has an album in the new releases. Why the hell does Shawn Colvin have a new album coming out I ask myself. As I examine it closer, I see that it’s a greatest hits album. Oh yeah, now that makes… more… sense.

I’m sportin Tims tonight for the first time in a long time. A very long time.

What I’m listening to: The O’Jays – For the Love of Money

New Grand Theft Auto

Grand Theft Auto – Lego City is one of the best things I’ve seen in a while. Which reminds me… go buy your PS2 so you can get GTA: San Andreas. Oh yeah, I forgot; I’m spending all of my money on a damn car. Haven’t even bought the thing yet and it’s already draining all of my resources. I guess this is why I never drove before.

I love banks. They make life great.

Friggin bank charged me $30 for overdrafting from my savings account. $30 frickin dollars. The thing that bugs me, is the fact that I had the money in there. However, they require $100 in there at all times so that they can look at it and be a bank and be happy they’re giving me .5% interest. Anyway, like I said, I had more than enough money in there, but they still charged me. So instead of just paying the people trying to withdrawal the money the $20 I went over, they charge me $30. And this is money that I supposedly don’t have. It all makes a ton of sense. But at least I’ll have their… my… apparently their $100 bucks in there. And while it really really bugs me for the reasons this happened, I really don’t care about the $30. Am I already at the point in my life where $30 really doesn’t mean that much anymore? I mean pay day is Friday and I’ll have a load of money again. Pay day is Friday and I’ll have a load of money again? Pay day is Friday and I’ll have a load of money again. Those words in succession are awesome. I think I should write a song about them.

Please just leave this country.

Now we have another incident of fags who need to stop watching football. We all get it already; you all have children, but you’re closet homosexuals. And as for the women, as I’ve stated before, you shouldn’t be watching football anyway. But then the NFL comes out and says that the incident was “inappropriate and unsuitable for our ‘Monday Night Football’ audience.” I think they need to go and re-evaluate their audience. A back is not enough. I wanna see full girl on girl action on a separate picture in picture during the game. How about me and my feelings. Ok, so maybe not that far… I might not be able to focus on the game. But that would make a good halftime show. And I’m just gonna go out on a limb and say all these assholes who complain about this shit are the same people who voted for George Bush. But that’s just me making an assumption. It’s bad enough that they re-elected him, but now they’re fueling his fire for locking down the country even more. Dammit it’s retarded. All they showed was a naked BACK. A back! Then they hate their kids when they grow up gay like them because they’ve stressed how horrible a naked woman is their entire lives. Well it serves them right. I hope all your kids turn out gay just like you.
