People are confusing. I mean I really just don't get humans sometimes because they do some of the most backwards stuff I've ever scene. It's a pretty frequent occurrence lately on nearly every blog/youtube/message board/etc. that I've seen. People commenting things they hate. Really? Why?
I can't for the life of me understand why someone would comment about a person that they claim to hate so much. For example, why take the time to search a Beyonce video on youtube, watch the video, and then leave a comment about how much you hate Beyonce? I just don't see the point. If you hate someone so much then why spend time looking for information about them just to leave a negative comment about the person? It's pretty backwards if you ask me.
Most recently I was on the Joshua Jackson message board on IMDB and there were at least 3 different people who started threads about how much they can't stand the guy. Again I ask, why? You hate him so much that you searched his name, clicked on his message board link and started a thread about him? Hmm, I sense some undercover love. I will NEVER understand why people spend so much time and energy on things and people that they claim to hate. Weirdos.
That's all for now. Deuces!

Some People Are Idiots!!! re: DADT
I was on Twitter (as usual) and I came upon a tweet between two people that had nothing to do with me that annoyed the hell out of me (another reminder that I need to stop clicking on things on twitter). No doubt the annoying tweet was from a republican and they were having a Twitter convo with a very liberal person. They were talking about DADT and the not so liberal was asking about bedding for the soldiers now that DADT has been repealed. Meaning where are the gay soldiers going to sleep now because apparently gay and straight people can't share bedrooms or whatever they call the sleeping quarters in the army.
This has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. In the army, men all sleep in the same area and women all sleep in the same area, correct? So why should that change now? Didn't these people share sleeping quarters BEFORE anyone knew if they were gay or straight? And it wasn't a problem then so why should it be now? This person on Twitter questioned whether men and women would now have to room together. Again, stupid. I don't see what's so wrong with a gay person and a straight person of the same sex sleeping in the same room. What the hell do you think is gonna happen?
I swear I can't take this ignorant nonsense.

Comcast Really Tried to Play Me....smh
So, I just moved back to my apartment for school and since the cable and internet was in my old roommate's name I had to get it turned on again after she moved out. No problem right? Umm, wrong. They were scheduled to come between 7am-9am on Friday which was kind of pushing it for me because I had to be in class at 9 to take a med math test. Luckily my class is right across the street. That was the first time they offered and I felt like I had to take it because with cable companies it can take forever to reschedule.
The good news is that the guy came on time. I was a little worried at first but he actually showed up around 7:30ish. Now for the bad news....they had my address wrong somehow. The guy called and said he was having trouble finding my house and asked if the address was XX51 and I told him no, it's XX58. I don't know about everyone else but to me 1 and 8 don't sound alike AT ALL. Because of THEIR mistake the guy said he would have to call his supervisor to see if he could even do the install....great.
After he called, I had to call and get them the change my address. The first woman I talked to told me that I had to reschedule the entire thing because it was at the wrong address. Needless to say I was pissed because it wasn't my fault, it's theirs. Then she said she was gonna transfer me to whoever I needed to talk to but instead she disconnected me *sigh*. So now I had to call back again and sit on hold forever until I got a real person all the while staring at the clock and wondering if I would get this done in time to get to class. The next woman I talked to was WAY more helpful and she changed the address and everything and once I told her the cable guy was standing right there she talked to him for a bit and he was able to finish the installation...yay!
After all that everything ended up being okay but it was still a pain in the ass. The guy didn't leave until almost 8:30 because of all the extra drama of being on the phone forever trying to get things straight. The real downside was that I ended up having to pay more than what I was originally told because they had to cancel the entire order that was at the wrong address. The woman told me that September prices were now in effect so that's what I was being charged. LAME! It was only $10 more per month but still....
On the bright side, I made it to class in time for my med math test and I got 100%....YAY!

I've Been Slacking
I know I've been seriously slacking on my blog lately. To be honest I haven't had that much to talk about lately. Life is pretty dull right now. Things with "penis man" or sort of at a plateau so I'm not sure what to make of it. I already posted about the nonsense that is my roommate situation and I still don't have a job. I just don't get it, I mean besides the fact that I suck at job interviews there's really no reason for anyone not to hire me. I'm pretty good at this nursing thing, well student nursing but you know what I mean. Maybe if I didn't bomb my last interview someone might actually know that. Seriously, the lady asked me a question and I completely blanked out and was sitting there in dead silence for what felt like forever. FAIL!
Anyway, school is starting in a few weeks and since I'm gonna be a senior I need to make sure to do all that crap that looks good on a resume but I was too lazy to do for that past few years. Maybe I can take some kind of job interview course to work on my skills because I really suck at talking about myself. I should look into that. On the up side I'm trying to plan a month long trip to Europe with this group that does tours for next year as a graduation present. Yay me! That's all for now, peace out.
ps: I still don't have a new roommate....smfh

Screening Comments
There are several blogs out that require the owner to approve a comment before allowing it to be posted. I can understand this to an extent because some people just go around posting spam or other comments that are just unnecessarily mean and negative so screening is necessary. However, I don't agree with not allowing a comment just because you happen to not like it or it doesn't say what you want it to say.
I was inspired to write this by another blog I follow who will remain nameless. This girl just started some kind of fashion thing on her blog where she shows an outfit she's wearing and there is a poll where you can vote on whether you like it or not and of course leave comments. I left a comment that I didn't really care for the outfit but that I loved the shoes. There were no other comments at the time and I had to wait for it to be approved so it was just whatever. Then I go back today and I see two other comments that are very positive and raving about how they love the outfit and yet my comment is nowhere to be found...hmm. This lead me to believe that she didn't 'approve' my comment because I wasn't totally in love with the outfit like the other two.
It's kind of annoying if you ask me. I mean why bother to ask people's opinion on something but then when their opinion isn't what you want it to be you shut them down. I mean really who does that? It just kinda pissed me off but whatever. It's her blog and if she wants to screen comments and make it look like everyone likes that outfit that's her business. At least now I know that she can't take criticism....clearly.

No homo? Stop the Stupidity
Of all the idiotic, unnecessary slang terms out there I'm pretty sure "no homo" is the worst. I mean seriously, what moron came up with that? Furthermore, why did the aforementioned moron's friends let him believe it was a good idea to actually use that term? I have such an issue with the use of this term because it just doesn't make any sense to me. What's really the point of saying "no homo" before making a statement?
I don't know for sure how the use of "no homo" got started but the first time I remember hearing it was in Lil' Wayne's song Lollipop. From then on it seemed like I was hearing it practically everywhere. The majority of people I hear saying it are African American males *insert my shocked face...NOT*. Apparently some men feel the need to say "no homo" before saying something so that whoever they're talking to doesn't think they're gay or so they won't sound gay. Personally, that's probably one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I guess it's a guy thing because they feel this need to protect or prove their masculinity all the time. Even when it's not in question.
For me, if a guy feels the need to say "no homo" it only makes me think that he really is on the down low and trying to cover it up. Whereas if he had just said whatever he was going to say with no preface, I probably wouldn't think anything of it. But the fact that you feel the need to put a disclaimer before your statement makes me think there's something else going on. Are you so insecure that you can't make a simple statement without being afraid of what people may think of you? I mean really, dudes can't even compliment each other without it being a big deal. It's always "I'm not gay but...." whenever they compliment each other. Really dude? It's not that serious. Giving someone of the same sex a compliment doesn't mean you're gay and it doesn't mean people are going to think you're gay. Stop being an idiot!
I think it's very different and I guess easier for females. I myself can compliment another female without feeling like people will think I'm a lesbian. I have no problem saying "Oh she's cute" or "Hey, her boobs are awesome." What's the big deal? Just because I can admit that another female is attractive doesn't mean I want to jump her bones. I don't understand why so many males have yet to grasp this concept. I guess it's because most of them have this overwhelming need to constantly prove their masculinity. Apparently in guy world saying another guy is good looking is less than masculine or sounds gay but in my mind it's just the opposite. If a man is secure enough in himself and his masculinity he should have no problem saying anything he wants to say without putting "no homo" in front of it.
That's all for now. DEUCES!!!
