To fully appreciate how fucking stupid people can be watch this video. However, if you do not have time for a short video here's a recap. Dumb idea 1) lets go in waist deep murky water at night. Dumb idea 2) Lets be looking for a snake in this shitty water. Dumb idea 3) Lets grab a giant ass python by its tail and try and pull it out of a hole in a wall. Finally, as a result of this stupidity by the national geographic host and his crew the dumb ass gets bitten by the giant ass snake. To make matters worse and add insult to injury lets continue after the snake release the host to wrangle it by its tail some more. This video made me realize people don't know when to leave shit alone. I'm glad the host got bit, he should have learned something from Steve Irwin's death. maybe next time it won't take getting bit at night by a giant ass snake in nasty water to realize some animals need to be left alone.

Eliott Spitzer

I can not believe that a man who had a reputation as a crime fighter and created so many enemies thought he would not be caught paying for sex and transporting hookers across state border. Honestly now, when your known as the "sheriff of wall street" and have brought down some major careers and created many enemies how did the governor think he could get away with breaking laws himself? I seem to remember the Eliot Spitzer prosecuting 2 prostitution rings in the past. I guess he was just working on his Rolodex file of pimps to call. However, on a less serious note this scandal gave the governors high priced call girl her 15 minutes of fame. Not only did "Kristen" whos real name is Ashley Alexandra Dupre make money from the former governor of New York, once her real name was dropped everyone blew up her myspace and she made a killing off people wanting to hear here song. Furthermore, this scandal made for some good jokes on programs such as "the Tonight Show". However, my favorite moment from this entire mess came last night. After an incredibly long week so far I was browsing the internet and came across a fucking hilarious picture (seen above) on http://www.karlsonandmckenzie.com

Re: Facebook

Original post at http://abuzzweekly.blogspot.com/

I agree with this post. Facebook is a great tool for keeping in touch with friends and upcoming events. However, once something is put on the internet it creates future problems. There are most likely pictures on my facebook that will not look so great if my kid were co stumble upon them one day. However, this is become a fact everyone needs to deal with. I first remember thinking about how facebook or myspace could be a problem when applying for college. I questioned if pictures of myself could possible be found on the internet and how easily. Would it be as simple as just googling myself and possible finding images that would damage my character and hurt my chances to get into college? This internal debate over how much information to have available still troubles me. Like most college students I check my facebook several times a day to find the latest news of what friends are doing and see the previous weekends not so glorious actions captured in photos. Potentially damaging photos on the internet is becoming a fact of society that everyone has to live with.

ITS

This new password is crap. I keep forgetting what has which password. It use to be that to log onto the school network it was your email password. However, now at the recently implemented change your old password logs you onto the school network but other school related things such as email and webct are now the new password. The reasoning behind the password change to include special characters was to make passwords stronger and safer. However, now-a-days everything requires a password. This creates problems because a general rule of thumb is not to have multiple passwords being the same. Trying to remember so many combinations of letters numbers and symbols and correct answers to security questions sucks. This has forced me to create a list of all my passwords and security questions, so honestly how safe is my information now that i needed to write it all down? And to complicate the new ITS password more, it expires every 120 days. This means sometime over the summer when I go to check my email or look up information for the coming school year I wont be able to do it until I create a new password again.

Re: Florida and Michigan

Well all I can say is things are fucked up. First, Florida and Michigan decide to hold their primary's early and now the repercussions of this act are beginning to appear. Because these two states wanted "more say" for their voters and went against what the Democratic National Committee said the original votes do not count. Now a several months later Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are still very close in their numbers of pledged delegates. This cause caused the contested primary elections in Florida and Michigan to be more important This has led to several ideas being put forth for counting these votes or have a re-vote. However, In agreement with the DNC Barack Obama did not appear on some of the original voting ballots. The latest idea was to have a mail in vote system. However, this re-vote is going to cost millions. Furthermore, beyond mail in votes Florida wanted to set up offices for individuals in less fortunate neighborhoods to come in and vote in person. This is the worst system forever because there is no way to stop individual's from voting twice. Basically the re-votes in Florida can be summed up in two words VOTER FRAUD and will not be a true representation of how the population feels. Original post at http://bhaywood1.blogspot.com/

Re: Why I Don't Hate Britney

This response is regarding both Sara's blog and an article we had to read for class. The original article was a woman complaining that she was afraid to have a daughter because she felt individuals such a Britney Spears have over sexualized the country between wearing next to nothing and lyrics involving sexual content. Since the article that we had to read for class was published media has covered Britney Spears more and more. This coverage has shown Britney in a negative light. Granted divorce and a child custody case are not positive events but I feel media has driven this Britney Spears mania. I feel that constant media coverage of stars is what caused them to wear risky outfits and live an overly lavish lifestyle. In my opinion the more coverage an celebrity receives the more they try and live up to all the attention they are getting. Ways of staying in the lime light can include flashy and risky wardrobes and risky lifestyle choices such as drugs. Original post at http://saraswritingblog.blogspot.com/

Last night everything went to hell. Emerson Hall was vandalized. Curtains were ripped down, posters and name tags were ripped off doors, and a fire extinguisher was set off. To cap a night of destruction the fire alarm was set off around 4am. The fire alarm is the part that bothers me. After talking to people today, I've learned a good deal of people didn't hear the alarm go off because they were passed out after a long night of partying. If there had been a real fire this is very bad news. Also, seeing how this is not the first time our fire alarm has gone off in the middle of the night kids also tend to do what i did. Ignored the alarm and went back to bed instead of evacuating the building. Granted this was a completely stupid move on my part, but honestly 4 something in the morning, drunk, and in bed asleep there was no way I was getting up and dressed to go outside to stand in the cold. Next time I will will myself into getting up and taking that late night trip outside. I just people would be more considerate and not do stupid things such as vandalizing the building and pulling fire alarms . Were in college, grow up people!

Re: Are you getting enough sleep?

I agree with the author of this original post. College students do not get enough sleep. I tend to think I have a quasi-healthy sleeping pattern but I know this isn't true. It's been said that on average an adult should get about 8 hours of sleep. I fail every night generally getting around 7 hours or less. This causes me to not only be tired all day but I waste a lot of time trying to take naps here and there. I have a 9am class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. When I get back to my room at 10am instead of doing some work, or reading the news, going back to bed for a hour trumps everything. Then its up and off to lunch and classes. So during the week my sleep patterns are generally not the best. But weeks instead of catching up on sleep I do more damage to my sleeping habits. Theres been Fridays where I got up at 9am for class and didn't go to bed until 4am Saturday. Thats a 19 hours day. Then being a typical college student, homework gets pushed back to Sundays. Its an endless cycle of little bits of sleep here and there. I can not wait until spring break so I can go home and waste away a week in bed. Original Post at: http://wkyu816.blogspot.com/
