some world records aren't worth having

So, first of all, this show Manswers is alright. It's a little unrefined but they show some cool stuff.

Anyway, I'm watching it tonight and they showed some guy who stuck 170-or-some clothespins to his face, setting a new world record. Imagine if that record stands. In 100 years, people look back and see that some guy thought it would be a good idea to stick 170 clothespins to his face. And you know what's going to happen? They're going to feel sorry for him, much like I do right now. But I guess he could have gone for something worse, like world's smallest genitalia or world's least original example of a world record.

But that gets me thinking. All these world records. How many of them are "records" simply because most people just don't care enough to even try to break them? I'm guessing a very, very, very high percentage.

Summer begins

And now I have nothing to do.

I have recently become a follower of the following blog:

and you should become one, too.

when I hear...

...somebody complaining about the amount of work they have it sort of just makes me laugh. Really, it's all relative, but it still makes me laugh. High school kids and undergraduates think their workload is so heavy. Laughing out loud.

Parking

Why is it that so many people are so god damn terrible at parking? I saw a woman (big surprise, eh?) attempting to park today at school. She was parking at a meter and all she had to do was pull in and then back into the spot since there was ample space in front of the parking spot. And yet, it took her at least 5 attempts to do this while I was walking by. She kept going back and forth like she'd never backed into a parking spot before. It was truly pathetic.

And for the record, I'm just kidding about the woman joke . . . or am I?

The Return...

So I'm back in NJ and school is starting again. Depressing. It occurred to me the other day that anyone offended by Obama's comments on Leno must be retarded. Kidding. But seriously, his comments may have offended people, but I'm tired of people crying because words may be taken as offensive. Get over it and move on. Now, it's different when the president says it, but still, I think we've become oversensitive to words and this most recent "news story" just highlights that fact.

Spring Break begins...

...on March 12th for me. I'll be going somewhere in the continental U.S. I'm not sure where. For one week I will be a rolling stone.
