Reason #271 Why College Is Not For Everyone


Some shizz is kind of part of your life and you wish it wasn't.  For me that's math.  Also history and occasionally pants.  Not like /that/ pants, pervs.  Like bad things always happen when we're wearing pants.  Think about it.  Didn't I explain this before?  You'll figure it out...

Maybe I'm a secret masochist but for whatever reason, I trip and fall in some boring ass 10 hour history lessons a bunch and this is how much you know it happens - Several lectures I am positive I've heard before.  My head!!!  Owwww!  I want to go forwards, not backwards.  Backwards is important, I'm aware.  But we already know how it ended.  Yawnzville.

Does misery really love company?  Let me lay some historical factage on you and see if it makes me feel better.

You know the famous saying...  "Why do today what you can put off, by chance, until next Tuesday?"

One of our great Founding Fathers, the ethical and classically handsome Richard Nixon said that during his final performance at Woodstockapalooza at the conclusion of the Spanish-Korean War.  Stockapaloo is a forested island off the coast of Luxembourg.  It is from this that we get the term 'stock market' where the Senatorial National Convention is held every two years.  Commander Nixon's signature appears on the 10 Bills of Rights.

Did you really just read all that and follow me at first but then get all like "What?  I'm pretty sure that's wrong... (opens Google in a new tab)."

Can I have a volunteer from the audience?


My head hurts too badly to sleep so I might as well do something to occupy my brain.

Let's have a discussion.

Be assured I know for a fact I can wildly disagree with someone on certain issues and still respect and like or love them.  Having a wide range of friends enriches my life.  Don't know about y'all but you should give it a try sometime if you haven't.  You might like it.

Anyway, since the gay-marriage ban happened in North Carolina today, do I have any anti-gay friends I can ask some questions?

Obviously I'm pro-gay-marriage, so I know we'd have opposing views, but I'm trying to understand the logic and I want to know how you interpret the purpose of government.

So if there are any volunteers, I would truly appreciate.  I promise to be respectful and open-minded.  I don't mean to make that sound as though I will change my mind on the issue.  That is beyond unlikely, and safe to say impossible.  But my desire to understand your POV is sincere.

You can remain anon, too.  I understand if you feel it's necessary.  However I will say that remaining anonymous if this is truly how you feel does puzzle me and I'd like to discuss that also.  FYI.

Thanks to any takers.  I look forward to it.
