I'm not a religious person but this thought accrued to me the other day. In the bible, both the new and old testament, god has a tendency to talk to his followers in some weird shapes; a burning bush is a good example. Now today we see those who claim god talks to them as crazy. But do you think anybody would take you seriously if you told them that god had talked to you through a stapler or a toaster. I think not.

Racism really sucks. Gee, I know this should be very obvious to everybody but if you don't agree just go find some traffic to play in. I go to school at Longwood College in Farmville VA. For Farmvillians racism is a way of life, in the 60's they closed down their public schools in order to prevent white and black children from going to school with each other. I know this one girl that was beaten up and threatened because her boyfriend was not completely white. This pisses me off, I just think it's really stupid to dislike a person because their skin tone is a bit lighter or darker then yours. It just sounds dumb, "Hey, I don't like Bob over their because he's a different color." I know it goes on everywhere but it just seems more pronounced in Farmville. I guess that the idea is when your life is just so pitiful that the only thing that makes you feel better is being able to insult people because they are not like you. This is more or less the pass-time of all Prince Edward county. These people just need to learn that it is both more effective and more entertaining to hate somebody as a individual rather then as a group.

This is a little piece of wisdom for everybody out there, If your a guy it's not good to touch other guys when you are watching porn.

I made a mistake a few days ago, I freely admit it. Before I left from college for the holidays I forgot to download a internet provider and didn't realize it till I was hooking up my computer at home. After beating my head against the door I realized that my friend Ed would most likely have a disk with some internet provider's program on it. He pulled out a random CD and gave it to me and one again I was a happy boy. I installed the CD and found out it was AOL. Now I have friends that love it and friends that hate it with a passion, I didn't really care I was only using it for a month. I should have cared, after installing it and setting up an account I found that all my internet browsers and chat programs were for some reason incompatible with AOL. After hours of fighting to get those programs to work I gave up and decided to cancel the service and install something else later. I found I could not stand AOL's browser and to top it off you had to call to cancel your account. At this point it was around 3 a.m. so I said the hell with it and decided to just do it in the morning. After sleep I felt a bit more sane and took another stap at it (Once again I rationalized that I was only using it for the month) so I download the program from internet and reinstalled it, lucky me it worked. In the week since I have gotten progressively pissed off at AOL. I have had trouble connecting which I have never experienced with any other internet provider, AOL itself is so geared toward the upper middle class it sickens me, and I have been harassed by random AOL people wanting to chat. I don't know if its just me but it seems like the people that use this provider are just fucked in the head. It seems like a bunch of strange, lonely, or maybe just desperate people love to strike up conversations with me on-line. I find this wierd but thats just me but now I know that I HATE AOL. Any internet provider that kicks you off line if your not directly using it just pisses me off. I mean I was playing around on Netscape and suddenly I AOL boots me off line. To me, this just doesn't seem like the way to please people but then again the masses love AOL so it will most likely never change. I will never use again and will constantly badger those who claim its is the best thing since Elvis. Do everybody a favor either leave AOL and get a life or lock yourself in a room with your computer and never come out.

It's no fun when you have to wake up at five in the morning to go to work when your sick. At Least, I get paid tomorrow. Yeh, gas money to get back to school!

I hate when I see people park in handicap spaces just because they are to lazy to walk an extra 5 feet. I was at the liquor store the other day and this guy pulls into reserved parking that was clearly marked, the worst part is there was a empty spot right next to him. I really don't know what people like this are thinking. As a SPED major this hits me hard but then again this should piss off anybody that has even a bit of decency in them. It is my personal belief that you should break the legs of the people that park in handicap spaces to show them how difficult it is to get around while disabled. Plus, it would just be fun.
