Working In Fast Food

Before reading any further you should know one thing, I actually like my job. Yes, I work at a fast food place for minimum wage. Yes, I deal with customers who have no idea what they want and get frustrated with me because I can't read their mind. Yes, my boss is a micro-managing control freak. My other boss is lazy, though. 

I've been working for this fast food restaurant for a couple of months now. I don't…

Rudeness

This is my first entry, and I have no idea really what I'm going to make this yet. As for now, partially because I'm bored but mostly because I'm still slightly mad about it, I'm just going to vent.

Today, we had another Signet class. For those of you who don't know or have Signet, at this point it's basically like debate club. That said, I am completely fine with other people having a different opinion so long as it's not a stupid one. What defines a stupid opinion (in…

A Story of Decreasing World Suck (Please excuse my punctuation:)

Last night, instead of reading A Farewell to Arms I decided to visit the website Chatroulette. Chatroullette is a website in which many people across the world gather to have a conversation with other people across the world whether it be by textual communication, through the mic, or with a webcam. My Friends and I had decided that we would try to find each other on this website and that task got stale after about 30 minutes so I decided to spice things up. If you do decide to check out this…

Just bought a new book.

I got a used copy of the Inferno by Dante for $1.25 at my local used book store.

Good day, or great day?

Charlie's Newest Video

If you haven't seen Charlie McDonnell's most recent video yet, it's quite adorable, and you should watch it here.

Anyway...his video.

 

First of all, he's adorable. Being an American, I'm obsessed with his accent and listening to it just makes me melt. Also, those 10 seconds at the end just convince me that he's incredibly adorkable.

 

Second...meeting people. This video made me think…

Missrepresentation

No, that is not a spelling error. That is the title of a fantastic film showcasing the way women are portrayed in the media. Sadly, females are little more than sexual objects. Even women in power (eg. Hillary Clinton) have been objectified by their outward appearance and not the way they have changed society. This film certainly changed my perspective on media outlets, such as tabloids and television. It has been known for a while that women have been treated as less than humans in the…

You know what pisses me off?

People. Some people are just such shit-mean-ass people and the give the rest of the planet a bad name. If some aliens found out about earth and looked at people they'd be all, "What dicks. They killed the planet and killed people and some of them are starving while others have more than they will every need. Let's eliminate them!" and then there would be no people left because some people are shit-mean-ass.

Why SOME people will never understand the Youtube

So if you're here it's obviously because you have a youtube account and you're subbed to lots of youtubers (I guess that specially the Vlogbrothers) and you're dedicated enough to come to nerdfighters.ning.com . Probably more than ones in your life you had to explain to someone what's so awesome about staring at your computer, watching youtube videos. For most of the people, youtube is a place to watch movie trailers, music videos and sometimes viral funny videos but we know it's not just…

Illusions

Sometimes when you hold someone in you mind you only see them the way you want to. That picture of them might change after awhile but you will always have that initial idea in you head. You will always think of them in that way. So when you hear that this person you have in your mind has made a mistake you think it is shocking and untrue. Even though it might be the closest thing to the truth. In a way this person you have saved in your mind is like a facebook picture if you think about…

7,000,000,000 People


The world population, as you watch this video, is about to hit an arbitrary landmark. But, still, the growing world population is not an insignificant issue, nor is the explosion in resource use in the developing world. But overall...I'm optimistic.

This World

During a lot of dark times in my life I have sought refuge in communities that would help me restore my faith in humanity. These have ranged from clubs at school to random encounters with the same people at regular locations and into the extremities of simply up and leaving the country to be with others.

But never have I found a place to go to like Nerdfigtheria...

Now, I have been a Nerdfighter for quite a while, though on a strangely detached basis at first. I wouldn't get…

Reflections of negativity.

Every day I learn and see more things that make the world out to be a horrible lonely place filled with nothing but people who's perceptions are constantly overrun with apathy and arrogance. Like when i learned that the same salt that we put on our fries can be separated into both a poisonous gas and a highly explosive metal. Or when a girl i'm in love with has me walk a mile and a half just so she can show me how horny she gets when her boy friend kisses her neck. The world isn't chaos but it… Continue

I Dreamt I Danced In Serenity

      I dreamt I stood in a field of grass, the breeze danced gently upon my face and played with strands of my hair.

     I was looking towards the west, the field of grass extended all the way to a line of trees, and through the trees i could see the glimmer of sunset on water. I looked behind me and saw grassy hills that gave way to sharp rocky formations which extended both ways around to meet far behind the trees and…

"vegans =racist" What!?

I got a comment on my blog earlier today and I don't know how I feel about it. There was no text. It was just a link to a picture.


     At first I laughed because obviously the comic, Chelsea Peretti, is making a joke. I thought it was funny and I think that she is great but my confusion comes from why would this be a… Continue

John Green is an IDIOT! And so are you.



In which Hank talks about how freaking stupid we are, and why. Though I would like to have gone into more detail...it's a complicated topic. Just check out this absolutely epic list of cognitive biases on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

Nameless Face...

Hows about a poem?

 

You tell me your name,

But I do not understand.

They call after you, and I don’t hear it.

Staring down upon because you must,

Your face confused.

I see you as something… Continue
