Is It Just Me? SG 8

I've found myself very often in the past couple of weeks wondering "Is it just me, or..." Anyway this isn't all that's been happening to me lately, but it is rather what I have been realizing because of it... without any further ado:

-Don't get me wrong, I love zombies, everything that has to do with them, books, movies, nazi-based video games, but is it just me or in the past year has the zombie craze risen considerably? What I'm trying to say is, Zombieland was a great movie!

-Actually having to do with my life, I recently had a rather unpleasant altercation with "NY's finest" and while my story isn't important, this story I heard after telling about mine is a good example of how they can suck:
"My friend was standing on an outdoor subway platform waiting, looking for a light for his cigarette, so he asks a stranger for a light. The guy gives him it, lights his cigarette, then reveals that he is a cop and proceeds to give my friend a ticket because you can't smoke on a subway platform." Needless to say, but I will, what a dick.

-Why do food companies put reduced fat and less sugar on labels; if anything, this makes me less likely to purchase your product - If I wanted to eat healthy, I'm not so sure stuffing my face with ice cream after dinner is the answer anyway.

-If anyone I'm having a conversation with says the word necessary in a sentence, I try my best to refrain from quoting Dodgeball, but it’s tough.

-There has been such a surge of reality TV that I can barely watch the Soup anymore. And now is the emergence of these "reality actors" who just stretch out there 1 minute of fame as to where it's not even reality anymore. The scripted television I watch is more real than reality TV.

-I went to the fair the other weekend hosted in my town, to which my brother made a good point - fairs are really unfair. I guess that's ironic?

-And finally, to anyone who has seen all these iPhone commercials talking about the 85,000 or so apps it has... I don't think I've ever seen one app that I've ever used or seen anyone else ever use. They just don't seem that necessary! Necessary? is it necessary for me to dri... damnit.

Return to School

Hello all, its good to finally be back after the hiatus of summer. Might as well as get right back into the swing of things.

Back at school, there are some things I noticed I missed, and some things I noticed I didn't miss.

Things I missed :
Unlimited dining hall food.
Freedom.
Going to sleep at 3-4 am.
Halo is always on... somewhere...
Never have to clean the bathroom.
My fridge has a plentiful stock of Natty's.
Availability of constant distraction by friends doing useless things.

Things I didn't miss :
The unlimited dining hall food...
Going to sleep at 3-4 am..
Halo is ALWAYS on...somewhere...
The bathroom that no one has cleaned from weekend escapades on a Sunday morning...
Homework.
No food in my fridge.. all the space is taken up by Natty's
My friends always distracting me when I need to do work.

I am on fall break right now, and one thing I am catching up on is sleep. It's like a plague of breaks. Sleep gets irrationally ranked over other activities for the first few days back because I have no schedule to interrupt sleep. For example, on Monday, I actually slept more hours in the day than I was awake. And during the breaks between the 4 naps I took, I ate during three of them. I worked out during the other "break" from sleeping. I actually accomplished accomplishing nothing. I felt so accomplished.

I never thought I would have to censor my Facebook wallposts and comments based on the time of posting. "We should hang out and catch up" might be interpreted differently if posted at 3:47am instead of mid-afternoon. Keep that in mind.

Yankees rule.

I got back to Long Island from Notre Dame in Indiana by way of 12-passenger van with the Crew team; we competed at the Head of the Charles in Boston this past Saturday (2nd..whattup) and drove out starting Thursday afternoon. Staring out the window for hours, I realized that I "racially-profiled" each car based on it's license plate, obviously completely unwarranted. New York drivers were of course the best and most awesome. New Jersey cars smelled bad. CT and MA were snooty and stuck up. Californians were laid back, didn't care about cruising in the right hand lane. Ohio drivers were terrible. And every car from the West/Mid-West obviously held the most boring and slow drivers and passengers possible.
After stopping for dinner at some shady PA rest stop, I pointed to a van in the parking lot with an Indiana license plate... "Well I bet THAT van contains a bunch of fun people." I voiced aloud, pointing.
It was our van. Fail.


Hope everyone's school year is better than the last. Unless you had to join the real world...haha.

Sungoations isn't a Real Word: 7

Yes, so a fan page has been made, is it tacky? Maybe. Do I really think this is website is good enough to merit one? Hmm, sure. Anyway, I know I have more free time than I know what to do with, so why not read this, I write so little it only takes a minute, anyway, this is what's up...

-In my dorm building, there are 4 elevators, two on one wall, and two directly across facing each other. I have lived here for over a month now, taking them everyday, and yet whenever I get out I am still so disoriented, I find myself almost walking into the elevator suites everyday.

-To all those people who read the book then saw the movie, we get it, the book was better you pompous dick.

-To all those who read the book after seeing the movie, we already know the book was better, stop trying to be like the other guy.

-Whenever I am on the subway, I find myself staring at the occasional open seat, then back at the other people standing gauging whether or not they deserve it more than me. I am a 19 year old male, I never deserve it more. If I took that seat, it'd be guilt-trip city.

-Also, when I try to transfer from my line to the express line only to get back on my line, attempting to "catch" the subway train ahead of the one I was on, I always end up waiting to transfer back to my original car, wondering if the strangers I was with 20 minutes ago noticed I had gone and come back.

-If you spray Pam on a surface and leave it there for awhile, will it get sticky?

-In a perfect world, opposite day cannot exist.

-Why are there pictures of jacked dudes on cologne? Do they smell better than normal guys? If anything they are probably sweaty and smelly from working out all the time. Also, I don't need to be looking at that every time I don't put on cologne.

Well this was a longer one for me, so I'll leave a couple thoughts for next time... Tell your friends to become fans of mine!
