Random Thoughts

Hello all! First time blogger here, so this is kind of testing the waters and to see how I like it. Well, let's get down to business, shall we?

I was just a participant in a relationship termination. This relationship was quite long-term (over 2 years) and yeah, it sucks. The part that actually bothers me is that we both knew that it was coming to an end. Since we both knew this, I don't really understand why the reality of it is such a bitch.

I've found that the best way to take my mind off of all this is to cram so much other shit in there to the point where there is no room for the depressing thoughts. I find myself continuously thinking that it surely can't be real, then I remember that it is. I KNOW that I am going to be happier having the relationship over in the end, but I think I am entitled to at least a little bit of self pity. For fuck's sake, I am having "memories" of awesome things that happened between us, then I realize that the "memories" DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN! What the hell is that? Sure, there were some good times between us, but the bad times were worse and more numerous.
The total bitch of the whole subject is that we have to live together for another three months. Whatever, I'll deal with it. On to some less depressing things that I want to casually touch on.

Casual thought #1 - The Disney Channel
Seriously, what in the flying fuck are kids these days watching? This stuff is so brain-numbingly retarded I am at a loss for words to describe it. What happened to the days of Bugs, Daffy, Elmer Fudd, Tweety, Tom, Jerry, Dexter, Arnold, etc...?I don't know about you, but I think we turned out alright watching that stuff.

Casual thought #2 - Reading
I'm not gonna lie, I absolutely love reading. I tend to lean towards the unrealistic novels, since if I wanted to experience something real, I could step outside. The Lord of the Rings, Shannara, The Dark Tower, Carrie, 'Salem's Lot...its all good. I feel that reading has "enriched my brain" so to speak. I don't know if I am quite willing to directly relate my increased GPA to me starting reading again, but they did happen at about the same time.

Casual thought #3 - College
Why has this money-stealing practice been allowed for so long? You go to college your freshman year, and there is a strong possibility that absolutely none of your classes relate to your major. You get up a couple grades, and even though your classes SEEM like they might relate to your major, the vast majority of the class is fluff. In my opinion, they should make a random sampling of people that already have the required major go through the courses again and have them pick out the classes and the portions of those classes that actually relate to the degree. Then, everyone could probably get their degree in a semester or two, and join the workforce. Win win.

Alright, that's it for now. I'm going to set this into circulation via stumbleupon, so go ahead and "like" it if you like it. If I feel that enough people enjoy my ranting, there will be more. With that, I'm off to study up on field identification of trees having to know common and scientific names. (See thought three for how I feel about this).
