Random Thoughts Number Whatever

Yeah, so usually whenever I have a conversation with my good friend Chris a couple good things come up to post.

1- Reason I Love living in New York
Just read the hyperlink. You never see the Chargers or the Eagles or the Colts doing this. No matter how far fetched it is (even though it is obviously true) its still awesome this was put out there. Give that man a sandwich.... rather like five sandwiches.

2- I hate traveling for Christmas break because of the increased security at the airports. Don't get me wrong- the increased security is a good thing- but come on. I caused a security shutdown(again) when I was flying home. Why? Well, they had me stand in the little "Bomb Glass Area" while they went through my backpack in front of me. They gingerly removed my set of school keys which had my school ID, 2 room keys, and my laptop-lock key on it. They rescanned my laptop lock key 3 times, because they thought I was trying to hide a weapon inside of it. This is, I swear, is 2 inches long and is basically a little tube of metal with a nub on the end. I was interrogated about its use. Honestly, this is when I am for racially profiling, or using a SHRED of common sense here. I am wearing a Notre Dame Rowing T-shirt, wearing an ND hat, with a bag with a laptop and textbooks in it. My keys have a college ID on it. Yeah, I'm really looking to cause some harm, as opposed to a guy from Yemen who's dad called the airport to warn them that his son is crazy. Ridiculous

3- The general public is too gullible and that annoys me. Chris told me of the local weather station's Channel 4 SUPERPredictor Radar. Let me type that again. The actual weather radar, that the anchors REFER TO ON THE AIR, is the "SUPERPredictor". Are you kidding me? More people are tuning into CBS Channel 4 as opposed to other stations for their weather, because their radar, alas, is "super". Screw NBC's doppler honey, that ain't "Super".

4- Disney World is actually really really awesome. And if you don't think so, you either
a) never been b) didn't have a childhood or c) don't have a soul.(according to Chris). Pretty much truth.

5- Splash Mountain is sick.

6- I'm running a marathon in 4 days, and I am not ready. Although I kind of am ( 20 days of training.. okay not really), 26.2 miles is really far.

7- I got Planet Earth on Blu-ray for one of my birthday gifts. It is easily one of the greatest things mankind has ever produced.

8- A movie called "The Expendables" is coming out that looks absolutely amazing.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Sylvester Stallone, Steve Austin, and Jason Statham are in it. Look it up. There are going to be so many bad one-liners in this movie that there might actually be something that constitutes real conversation.

9- The toilet paper at home will always be better than the toilet paper at school. I know everyone going back to school right now agrees with me whether they like it or not.

That's it for now. Till next time. Oh yeah. Happy New Year and Merry Christmas.
