Thing I’m doing that I didn’t think I would
- Using facebook intensely.
- responding to birthday wishes
- Talking to people from highschool
- using exclamation marks annoyingly!
Things I liked, but I’ve grown to hate:
1. My birthday
2. Neckties
3. Eye of the Tiger
I have a vlog currently processing, but look at the awesome Finn Plush I got at Wal-Mart today. So algebraic.
The Train noises
They’re back. I love that sound.
Fuck them is what I say. I hate those ebooks, they can not be the future. They may well be. I will be dead, I won’t give a shit.
I really really miss my puppy. Like its tearing me up inside right now. I’ll see you soon Enero, I’ll see you soon.
How I Met Your Mother Conundrum
So I’m watching this one episode about (Spoilers?) Lilly’s false positive, and they keep saying this thing about how GNB Bank gave its employees gift cards to Costa Coffee. If you’re American, you probably could have taken that to be a filler name for a fake place. The truth is however that its an international coffee brand, just like Starbucks, that isn’t in the US. So I’ve spent the last good ten minutes trying to make sure there are no Costa Coffee’s in the US, because they’re ok, and also cheaper than Starbucks. There aren’t. So whats the point of using them in the writing? The writers are throwing me through a loop. Going to find out that Lets Go to the Mall Is a real song in Canada too that we just won’t get to hear about until J-Beibs has a recording contract with Scherbatsky.
…
Apparently the woman that marshall dates temporarily also worked at Costa (didn’t look like a Costa though, so at least no Trade Dress lawsuit). What their angle?
Kids, back in 2012, your aunt Robin wanted to do something more with her life. So she took her love of guns to an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D and fought alongside the Avengers.
Now, your Uncle Barney and I took it pretty hard; she was getting to spend a lot of time with another billionaire playboy, this guy named Tony Stark. Your Uncle Barney almost went crazy when he found out the guy had a metal suit.
“It shoots fireballs, Ted! He looks like a freakin’ storm trooper!”
Then your uncle Barney decided to fight back.
soooo much win. Did I mention I saw the Avengers and really liked it?

After forcing my friends through some modern art, They responded with the following.
New Tumblr Rule for myself: Don’t make more blogs
So I keep having this idea that I want to make like 70 bajillion new Tumblrs so that they’re dedicated to only one topic and I don’t flood this blog with that sort of information. Amazing thing I learned about myself looking over my blog though: I barely post once a day. And by the looks of what many of the people that I follow, thats not the norm. Most people like to make like 10 posts a day or something (I tend to unfollow people to just flood my dash).
Don’t get me wrong, I like a lot of the curating blogs that simply reblog stuff. I don’t want to go through searching and some people (Like recently realfineliterature) post a lot of things that I really enjoy and don’t have the time to find for myself. I actually don’t follow to many tags, just American University and Washington DC for now. I was following Cispa for a while, but I got frustrated by ignorance in a cause I believe in and stopped. And I avoid reblogging whenever possible. I’m not a very good curator.
Also I tend to write like lengthy 4 paragraph posts about things that I know most of the people who follow me aren’t interested in, but damn, I don’t have much of an audience and should just post those stories as they come across. So I’ll be making some stuff on here soon, because I need to work on presenting my writing more, and of course vids ;).
This is going to be the worst academic day ever
1. I have an econ exam, and I barely have been attending the class, and surprisingly I’m in good standing because of how well I’ve been doing at the mid terms, but I think I’m going to croak because of how clueless I am for the final review. Stupid decisions.
2. I have a presentation for my IR Research class, even though I’m sure I’m doing terrible there, I’ll just have to get through it, and I need to put it together like right now, even though its like 20 minute after my econ exam. Ahh, I’ll get it done though I hope tonight
3. I have my comm exam, and even though I feel fine about it, I think the professor is expecting me to turn in an additional paper that I didn’t turn in, which will be pretty huge on my grade, and I think I want to crappily put something together and give it to her, but like, Two exams before it with only 20 minutes between them.
4. three fucking exams in a row, and I’m barely going to sleep, All nighter is the worst idea ever right now, but I might do that. Also, I’m an idiot because I have the right to reschedule one of them, but I didn’t realize till now, and I’m sure I can’t do shit about it.
5. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
Ug, Reading more about censorship
Its always really funny to read about how people think that US attempts at censorship are terrible. I mean I don’t like the attempts at it, but you’d think we’re the worst country out there or something.
Reading about Initial UN conventions on Censorship, and maybe the journal I’m reading is biased (I don’t feel like it is) But damn, I’m happy I don’t live in France. I don’t think I could survive in that country. What the hell is this theory of protecting the “real freedom of speech” by blocking out bad speech? All speech is speech, and “Curbing foreign propaganda” is so damn vague that I don’t see how any nation in its right mind can think its ok. Look, I hate Nazism as much as the next guy, but labeling any ideology as possibly damaging as that, and therefore giving due cause to censor it is utter hooey, sorry Sweden, you might not get into conflict, but you don’t need to baby your citizens by telling them what is right and whats wrong. And dear France, Your attempt at “right of correction is hilarious, You can’t require US publications to do shit, and we don’t have an official state publication that can print things because you want them to, and we sure as hell control our domestic laws of freedom of the press. Suck it.
#MERICA
Of course you don’t understand 3G, you’re running on it now, but apple has brainwashed you into thinking its called “4G” even though it’s barely faster than normal HSPA. Oh Siri, for a computer algorithm, you can be quite dumb.
Meep, I want. Also, sorry for the mass postings today. I promise tomorrow I’ll be a more productive person and possibly only post once. Promise. Well, not pinky promise, so we’ll see.

Things that bother me
When people are sensationalist, even for something that I am on their side for. All you’re doing is weakening the argument. I was looking at the #CISPA tag, and seriously, some people are ridiculous:
CISPA passed! Are you going to let the gov’t stomp all over you? Don’t wait for Auschwitz to come. The time is now.
A death camp is not the same as surveillance. Its a violation of privacy, call it what it is so people don’t think I’m stupid for defending it. Unless we’re talking about mass genocide, I’d rather not compare anything to the Holocaust. This is bringing up issues I had with people believing that Democracy = Human rights. Understand what you’re talking about before you talk about it, I don’t care what side you’re on.
