Classes and Work

So now I know and knowing is half the battle.
Or something like that.

I am bored with both. I just want to spend time with my love.

I suppose however, in the "real world" you need things like education and work and the dreaded and loved money.

Sometimes I want it to be simpler, easier, Utopian in fact. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I think eventually everything balances itself out.

Where was Prof. Farnsworth in all this

Scientists said yesterday that they had achieved a long-sought goal of slowing waves of light to a relatively leisurely pace and using those harnessed pulses to store an image.

Friends, Romans (Yeah you bloody stinking Italians) and everyone else listen the hell up

I just wanted to say look around...life is good. There is no need to make huge changes is there? I mean seriously, consider how bad things could be and compare that to what you have. Now sure, some people will say, "I am at the bottom." You, well, tough. The rest of you have it better, enjoy it while it lasts. Sometimes a sit in mediocrity isn't all that bad. Sometimes you need to be in between the his and the lows to appreciate, truly appreciate life.

That is all, return to your duldrum lives perhaps a little bit smarter.

Assholes

Warning the link was, in my mind, generic and I am not sure where it goes.

You know some people, without realizing it are TOTAL Assholes. And no when I say this I am not referring to that literal place on your behind where you poop from the more figurative term, that is to describe someone as either having a similar purpose as the literal, i.e. to have shit passed through them or to be so horrible, dirty, annoying or otherwise unwanted that you really despise them. Now of course this is simply my own conjecture in the matter.

N0w what I am trying to say though is some people, whom we all know, but we won't name names here, are really assholes. The problem is they don't realize it and we don't really want to tell them because we don't want to be assholes and hurt their feelings even if these assholes deserve that themselves.

I mean why do some people have the nerve to always speak their mind and then have the nerve to assume that their word is always fact and truth. Further why do they then have to act as though what you say is the opposite there of, namely totally wrong and false and perhaps even libelous. I don't know. I just hate people like this. Don't you???

Then the assholes further have the nerve to find faults in all others, sure they may find faults in themselves but they don't matter, but the faults in others are apparently life threatening or something. As such they must immediately be changed or further contact with these people has to end. And of course, being assholes they are extremely forthcoming and blunt with their criticisms and don't take a moment to reflect and ponder as to whether they are doing any harm.

Quite simply I say then, it is easy to say why then the asshole is not well liked and they should understand why their, at one time or another, friends and colleagues don't wish to regularly converse with them, include them in their recreational activities or have anything at all to do with them for that matter.

To all you assholes out there I have a simple request, stop being an asshole. Be nice to people. Hide what you really think and lie if you have to. Accept people for what they are and stop trying to change them. Be a team player. Give people their space, privacy and time.

Thanks.

Merry Christmas Happy New Year

So my friends, it is once again that time of year.

The time where people pretend to be nice to each other in order to pretend to be religious 0r something like that. Oh well, I think its all pretty funny.

In this spirit I wish all my friends a wonderful new year and a happy and a wonderful holiday season, for all you people that don't like the word Christmas...bastards...j/k.

I want all my friends to be happy during this time of year, so I ask that you take this advice and do as I say: Give up on what isn't working, stick with what is and most importantly be happy with who you are.

In the spirit of the season, and as they say in my native German "Einen guten Rutsch ins neu Jahr!" Figure it out yourself.
