Cliche's and the users that, um, use them.

So yes, i know, i haven't blogged in a while. But here is my excuse:

Screw you.

Anyway, I have been busy but it's all been good. I will start off with what i start off with everyday. Philosophy.

So today my teacher was making fun of people for not getting enough sleep and not eating breakfast. So he asked us who ate breakfast and of course i raised my hand seeing as I had the breakfast of dreams which is a sausage mcmuffin and hash browns with coffee. So he goes and asks one kid, "Did you have your Wheeties?" And he said, "No I had Frosted Flakes." And so my teacher goes, "Isn't that great, I remember watching those commercials and you see the business man really drowsy and up pops the tiger and then everything is ok. Let me just tell you this. That tiger's full of crap."

And I laughed, a hard thing to do at 8:20 in the morning.

Next is my time with Colleen. You know it's going to be good because I think that her patients rubbed off on her and now she is insane. But it's good times. Today she insisted that the Washington Monument is a falic symbol because George Washington was our strongest hero. Um, yeah. I think Freud would say that Colleen has some unresolved issues:

"You've probably never done this before---mixed ammonia and bleach together thinking that you're gonna get something extra clean, but you didn't know you just made a poisonous gas that could kill you. Hahaha"

Talk about wish-fulfillment.

Joy had a speech today about OCD. I thought she was perfect for that speech, her notes on it wer both obessesive and compulsive. The funiest thing that happened all day though was Mrs. Deen's misuse of the cliche 'Sorry Charlie'. So now I have decided to replace that cliche with "forget you Charlie" everytime i say it. Or maybe just "screw you Charlie".

Then off to Filomena. We had a lab today which turned out to be the exact same lab we did for the past two weeks with different minerals. Well at one point he told us we should probably fill out the description of each minerals in our lab book. It is basically fill in the blank as most of the description is typed in. But then he told us not to worry if we saw some things that we haven't learned yet. Such as, "Supernetted, feldman sparring. What the **** is that?" So Allison, you missed it.

And now, I am at work. And the song that's playing is "I'm a believer" by the Monkeys. Oh yeah.

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time

The thing about going crazy is you don't really go anywhere. I think Colleen is crazy. She's still here.

So today I was walking through cod as one usually does when one attends cod and I saw someone wearing a cod sweatshirt. I pondered this wondering why anyone would first of all buy a cod sweartshirt much less wear a cod sweatshirt. Why would you want to broadcast this. It's like putting other bad things about yourself on your sweatshirt:

"I'm dating a Catholic priest!"

"I don't take showers!"

"I have probably slept with you!"

You see, you just don't wear stuff like that. Even if it's true.

But still people at COD can be stupid. But i have decided something over the past two days. I don't like black people. Now this probably sounds really racist and it probably is, but what I mean by that is that I don't like some black people. And by some (in italics) I mean the one I met at work last night and the group that harrassed me on my way to psych. You see last night this one man came in and I could barely understand him to begin with. What made things worse is he didn't understand a word I was saying:

Me: You will also have overdraft protection available to you.
Him*: What's that?
Me: It is a service that we give to our members that will draw funds from your savings if you overdraw funds from your checking.
Him: What?
(Now at this point the questions weren't stupid because i could understand someone being confused by what i said because I probably don't even know what it means)
Me: Ok, so say you bounce a check, if you have enough money in your savings we will automatically withdraw from your savings to cover your check so you don't have to pay the $30 insufficient funds fee.
Him: Bounce a check?
Me: That's when you write a check and there isn't enough money to cover that check in your account.
Him: No, man, I know what a bounced check is, but what I'm wondering is why i have to pay for it.
Me: You mean the fee?
Him: No, the check.
Me: Um, because you wrote it.
Him: But why would it come out of my savings?
Me: Because you don't have enough money to cover the check.
Him: Well, why not?
Me: Sir, I don't know why not, people make mistakes, sometimes we think we have money in our checking and we really don't.
Him: But still, if I didn't have enough money why do i have to pay for it?
Me: What? Because that's what a checking account is sir.
Him: Wait, you need a checking account for all this?
Me: YES!
Him: Oh, well I never wanted one of those, I just wanted the overdraft protection.
Me: Let me go get my supervisor.

So let's just say I had to have someone else work with this man.

This morning I was walking in the the IC and some black guys pushed me into the wall. Jerks.

So then after psych a bunch of us met up and sang some worship songs outside at cod. It was good times. We didn't get anything thrown at us. Dang. Of course me, Candace, Allison and Royce got our seats stolen in Geology by people who saw us singing. Then they said we stole their seats. Then I put a Bush sticker on my notebook so whenever they said something I held it up. Score.

Oh and the best part about today is it is Tues. which means tomorrow is weds. which is important.

So the moral of today's story is this: Don't wear shirts from COD, they make you look retarted.

Colleen's quote of the day:

"The whole nine yards."


*What he said is purely assumption on my part

Let's face facts, Tom always beats up Jerry.

Whatever happened to those long blogs I used to write. Those were times to be sure. But don't get your hopes up yet. I'm not in full blogging mode. Whatever that means.

So tomorrow is my birthday. I'll accept checks in incraments of $50, $100, and $500. Seriously, I like food too. It's pretty frickin sweet.

On Wednesday I have my first psychology test. Colleen says it's going to be hard but if she's writing the test... Let's just say if she was a "psychology teacher" and she was going to write a "psychology test" it would be useless to write an analogy for it because she's just that dumb. But funny and that's the only thing that counts in this wide world of ours right?

I am studying however. Joy's making apple crisp. Sweet. We are all going over to Allison's tonight. Who knows how much studying we'll actually get done.

Allison got an apology note from a boy today and the best thing she could say is, "Um, what is this for?" But I don't blame her, Steve didn't really do anything that offensive.

I have also decided that I need to be more careful when using Napoleon Dynamite quotes. I used one in a group of people last night at H20 and only one other person had seen it. I told that person he could leave. I was a big jerk. But only to those who hadn't seen the movie.

I'm getting a haircut tomorrow. Woot.

Candace fell asleep in Psych today. Candace makes me laugh.
