Goodbye Swarthmore, hello world. I'm out of the institution and need work to earn money to pay off loans. :-( I am at a loss on what to really do with my life, although I think I am getting a direction. I also hate the "new" Blogger. It sucks. I hate the new comments, Blogger bar, and dashboard. Google made Blogger suck. I hate you now Google. You truly are evil.
They did leave out those damn passive-agressive people. I swear all the people I know belong in that category and I fear they are dragging me with them. I used to be healthy and assertive, well at least aggressive.
Oh, I was reading back on some old posts and came across the Palmer bathroom haikus from April 2004. They're hilarious. I miss you Lan and Mike. I miss hitting you, getting beaten, tackling each other, being zombies, planning to escape zombies, breaking Lan's bed, leaving a trail of Kix to Sharples, SVU night, pizza and beer, salt in Evan's drink, stopping on Robert's ceiling, being loud and obnoxious, late night prowls, defacing the Palmer basement, pranks, shocking each other, showering together, splashing water on you when you're on the toliet, death metal, day time television, late night television, hating Asshole, and laughing. Ahh those were good times. even the fucked up bathroom shit and Sanjay brought us together. You know, I think last year made Swarthmore worthwhile. Here's to fond memories.
There was an MSN entertainment article that used the word schadenfreude. For the curious ones, schadenfreude means pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. It's the basis of my humor. It's not too surprising that it has German roots. Such a great word, thanks Mike for teaching it to me and to the Germans for implementing it. :-)
It's sad when I notice when they change the voice actor for Arthur Read on Arthur. I don't like the new kid. He sounds too high pitched and girly. It still amazes me that D.W. is voiced by a boy. I don't like Buster's new spin off show.
Speaking of spin offs, I didn't know that Joanie loves Chachi was a real show. I just though that it was a joke. Did you know that Chachi means penis in some countries? I'm guessng Joanie loves penis was a hit in those countries.
I like the new Green Day cd, American Idiot. My favourite song is Boulevard of Broken Dreams. It's a well put together album. I also like the new show Lost. It's fresh and entertaining, although I'm still a little confused as to what is happening. I should watch the show more consistently.
Good news. Daria is closer to getting on DVD. I really look forward to that, although they would use generic music, which is kind of a let down, but I still have the real episodes on my computer. Crap! My computer's clock is stopped. I'm missing Arthur!
It's a new year. Fun. I guess. Anyway, I love my new headphones. I have a phone interview for a Gov. job in Virgina. I applied for the job in October. Jin-Jin is wonderfully white and clean. I have no real news. It's interesting that I have some new readers. Welcome. I was looking at my stats and I didn't realise that I got 3 more hits from Africa.
On another note, I kind of feel bad that I don't have any legitimate information about Friedrich Nietzsche on this blog. It's the most searched word that gets people here. Well, here's something legit about Nietzsche. He went crazy and died of syphillis, which he caught from a prostitute. Although his writings were used by the Nazi party, Nietzsche himself was not a Nazi, rather it was his sister who volunteered his writings to the party. Nevertheless, Nieztsche was still a rather disturbed person. Don't get me wrong, but regardless of his crazy thoughts, his thinking is still influential and at times entertaining. There's more to Fred than the ubermensche, read Beyond Good and Evil. I'm getting the urge to break out some of my philosophy books and read them this time. ;-)
Enough learning for today. But if you learn nothing from Nietzsche, learn this. Use condoms, especially when sleeping with prositutes!
