Today was a good day

Today was a good day. Dallas upset Philly (I was raised a Dallas fan so ya'll gon have to DEAL), Clemens (how can you not respect Clemens unless you are that bum Zuckerman) pulled some amazing shit to take down those high-falutin Braves, the Yankees of the NL, and the Ghostface show was fucking amazing.

The next two days I am gonna sort of have to grind through. I have a university writing draft, 2500 words, to bullshit before tomorrow noon, and a hardcore physics midterm (MIDTERM ABORTIONS!) Tuesday. But after that it is clear waters, clear like the failed product of crystal clear Pepsi.

Buffalo is really fucking far from New York city. Like really far. Why is that? Geography is fucked up, man, especially around New York. For one thing, Long Island is not all New York city, and not all of New York city is on that one long island Manhattan. Also, New Jersey is part of the Metro area. Further more, certain parts of it are really far away from other parts. Also there is a Westchester that is constantly mentioned, yet I never hear of an Eastchester of a Chester (just plain Chester would make sense because of West Virginia and Virginia). Also, there is a severe lack of legitimate cheap carry out restaurants right by this place I live. Ok, there's one, but only one. I have a strict definition of "right by" that extends like 6 blocks only. What we need is a fucking McDonalds or something, or a Chipotle or Popeye's or KFC. I mean a local good food place would be better but that's too much to ask for. All I want is a motherfucking McDonald's. And don't tell me "that's New York" because it isn't. Every other fucking place in New York there is a legitimate fast cheap food place, at least where I've been. Morningside Heights is in my book the most frustrating and stupid neighborhood in the world. Fuck Morningside Heights. Fuck it good. Why the fuck can't I live in Harlem or even just Tenleytown? Even Tenley has a fucking McDonald's, a Popeye's, a Chipotle, and let's not forget the best of all a MOTHERFUCKING STEAK N EGG. Now New York is the city that never sleeps? THEN WHY THE FUCK ISN'T THERE A RESTAURANT AROUND HERE THAT IS ACTUALLY open 24 hours? For serious, late night isn't gonna fucking cut it, is it that hard to get a fucking 24 hour place? Jesus, man. I miss Steak 'n Egg, and Mayfair, and Ben's Chili Bowl even though they didn't know me there, and driving cars, and the Washington Nationals even though I don't miss them as much as the others because I didn't know them as long, and walking places at night without other people being there, and OUR Metro . I mean yeah this city is good in ways but sometimes I just think fuck New York City, man. Shit is weird man, like people seem to drink a lot of beers but they don't sell 30s, and people are like "well a 20 dollar 18 pack is a good deal" well good for you if you think 60% of the product for 50% more is a good price. You wish you lived in DC you just don't know it.

Here is some commentary on college:
On college the cool thing is to not sleep, it is like straightedge where your activity is defined by what you don't do. People here "pull all-nighters", why this is so fucking cool I do not know because to me it seems like living hell, and if they mean they are pulling themselves all night, then doesn't that really drain them for the next few weeks if it's literally all night? I know that masturbating is fun but if you do nothing but masturbate for eight hours you will feel some negative effects I am sure. I have seriously slept about 11 hours average the last week or so, and all those hours were WITH YOUR MOM! Well maybe none of them but still, I could not imagine this sleeping so few hours. Here is why: it would suck.

Here is why you should not worry that much about grades and majors: will you have a job at age 35? Yes you will probably have a job at age 35. Whatever you do until then you should have fun with and shit will work itself out. Fuck networking, it is the most dehumanizing process imaginable. You know people because you meet them or because you like them, that is what you should do. There is no need to keep "striving for success", because what is success? Well damned if there's a good definition for it that isn't bullshit. Every form of success is in some way related to the fecal matter of, oh, not necessarily a male cow, but of some large male mammal, perhaps an elephant which is also known as a bull, for elephant shit is indeed bullshit if it is from a male elephant, and a bull elephant can fuck you up any day of the week except before noon on Sunday. The point of having any sort of skill at all is to avoid having to go through bullshit.

That being said I want to major in lieutenant, so as soon as I declare my major I can say with truth I am a lieutentant major. Except they do not have lieutentant majors in the US so I would have to be a sergeant major. It is still a good major.

Also what is the deal with getting laid in college? It is supposed to be easy, but apparently you still have to be attractive and/or outgoing and/or not awkward. I guess the same people who get laid at home do so more easily at college. Wow, that's fucking great news. The rich are getting richer. I mean that's what they probably told poor people about capitalism. "It's really easy to make money". They didn't mean for the poor folks though.

People in college also seem to love short catchy nicknames for shit. See, the difference between someone doing their university writing homework and then drinking before they go to a party and then kicking their roomate out to have sex in the room and someone doing their U-Dub homework and pre-gaming and sexiling their roomie is that I don't want to bludgeon the first person with the nearest blunt object until their mouth is too disfigured to say anything catchier than "Aarruuuuuughhhhh!!! Muuumuuummuuuddddderrrrffffffffuuckuckuckaaaaugggggh!!! ShshishichcihichchCHIT!"'

Fuck abbreviations man. I got time to say the full words. You do too, you just want to be so fucking cool you don't have time for your words. But maybe you have time to argue in their defense.

Also, the broth for this udon soup is pretty fucking lame.

What I think is that instead of "fuck this place" I mean I just don't like a lot of people sometimes. There's comfort in that when people don't like you. You can be like "yeah, well fuck you, I don't like you. I don't like people".

Dude, fuck people.

That is why I like the song Sam Hall (Cash's version) so much. The dude is an ornery fellow that is in a bad moment and he does exactly what I would do, he goes around damning everyone. "I hate you one and all" "I'll see you all in hell". My sentiments exactly. Not towards ya'll but towards my surroundings sometimes. And sometimes ya'll too, because sometimes it is literally everyone. Here are the wonderful, wonderful words to the song.

Well, my name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall.
Yes, my name it is Sam Hall; it is Sam Hall.
My name it is Sam Hall and I hate you, one and all.
An' I hate you, one and all
Damn your eyes.

I killed a man, they said; so they said.
I killed a man, they said; so they said.
I killed a man, they said and I smashed in his head.
And I left him layin' dead,
Damn his eyes.

But a-swingin', I must go; I must go.
A-swingin', I must go; I must go.
A-swingin', I must go while you critters down below,
Yell up "Sam, I told you so."
Well, damn your eyes!

I saw Molly in the crowd; in the crowd.
I saw Molly in the crowd; in the crowd.
I saw Molly in the crowd and I hollered right out loud
"Hey there Molly, ain't you proud?
Damn your eyes."

Then the Sherriff, he came too; he came too.
Ah, yeah, the Sherriff, he came too; he came too.
The Sherriff, he come to and he said: "Sam, how are you?"
And I said: "Well, Sherriff, how are yooooou,
Damn your eyes."

My name is Samuel, Samuel.
My name is Samuel, Samuel.
My name is Samuel, and I'll see you all in hell.
And I'll see you all in hell,
Damn your eyes.

I really loved this entry. I read it aloud to Sally and she liked it too. My favorite part?
"Fuck abbreviations man. I got time to say the full words. You do too, you just want to be so fucking cool you don't have time for your words. But maybe you have time to argue in their defense." and everything else in between. I like your style.

The only reason people brag about pulling all nighters is because they can sleep whenever the hell they want. Now if they go to college where I am, those fuckers can't do that. I'm not even fucking allowed to sleep in my bed between 6 in the morning and 10 in the evening, if that early. Thats true for weekends also. Fuck everybody who thinks pulling an all nighter is fun. Try doing it if you've only gotten 5 hours of sleep a day since July.

The Astros have been in even worse shape, using three starters with less than two years of major-league experience. Signing Clemens to go with right-hander Roy Oswalt and left-hander Andy Pettitte again gives them a legitimate Big Three once again. If Clemens, after several minor-league tuneups, proves anywhere near as good as he was last season, he will give the team precisely the lift it needs.
