Fun With Alliterations

This week has been long, lackluster, and ludicrous.

On the bright side, my Dad had the wonderful Pepsi and a variety of cereal waiting on me when I returned home earlier today. Yay for Daddys!

But really. This week has sucked sufficiently so.

Although, I have been a bit ambitious this week. I started seriously looking into graduate schools. Yes, I realize that I am a nerd of gigantic proportions.

Is the mail-person required to come by your mailbox every day, Monday through Saturday? And what happens when they don't show? Do you call some Postal Police to spy on your mailbox and see if the mail-person really isn't coming to deliver or pick up mail?

How come the girls on American Idol sucked all kinds the other night? Katharine was the only girl who rocked it out. I was not impressed with the other girls. And how about that Ace? He's fantastic!

You know what else? Desire is a powerful thing.

Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly.
The water’s higher.
Desire

With no secrets. No obsession.
This time I'm speeding with no direction.
Without a reason. What is this fire?
Burning slowly. My one and only.
Desire

You know me. You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire

Jesus, Take the Wheel....

A discussion about the slightly addicting Facebook commenced today in Tech Writing. Unfortunately, being the stellar student that I am, I was working and I did not hear all of the discussion. However, I did hear this comment by a fellow who effectively "quit" Facebook:

"I gave my life to Jesus and I got off of there."

Yes, boys and girls, this young fellow left the Facebook life behind in pursuit of, well, a life. He even "deactivated" his account. He deactivated his account. Can you believe it? And in order to have the strength to give up his Facebook addiction, he had to turn to Jesus. He had to be saved from Facebook by Jesus.

He then continued to whisper repeatedly throughout class to the girl ahead of him:

"Get your life back. Get your life back. Get your life back."

(Yes, he whispered it in three's. I don't know why he chose to do that. However, I do know that three is a magic number.)

Anyway, lesson learned:

Apparently, you can't give up Facebook without the help of Jesus.

An Order to Cease and Desist

This is an official order for the following people to cease and desist. Whatever you're doing or whatever you have been doing, you need to stop and move along. You are polluting an already polluted world and I will not tolerate such nonsense any longer.

1. Black Eyed Peas - This is your final warning. Any more songs about humps or other lovely lady lumps will result in some bad karma. Very bad karma.
2. Gwen Stefani - Just have your baby and quit singing ridiculous songs that end up nominated for the Grammys.
3. Mariah Carey - Shut the hell up already. And for the love of God, put some clothes on!
4. Chris Brown - I know you're new to the music scene and everything, but you're thoroughly annoying.
5. Shania Twain - Has anyone ever told you how annoying and awful your voice sounds?
6. Britney Spears - Okay, lesson learned: we don't drive around with our kiddos unrestrained on our laps. However, you need to take a bath before you go out in public. And please, brush your teeth and comb your hair. And NEVER walk barefoot through a public restroom. That is all kinds of unsanitary.
7. Kevin Federline - You're an idiot. Perhaps the smartest idiot alive, but an idiot nonetheless. And your new song? It sucks.
8. Tara Reid - I don't even know what to say to you. Just stay at home, out of sight, for the rest of your life.
9. Derrell and Terrell Brittenum (from American Idol 5) - You guys think you're all that and a bag of whatever's popular at the time. You're not. You don't have wonderful singing voices. And don't dis Carrie Underwood. She's got a voice. You do not.
10. Paris Hilton - Just shut up and stay home. No more saying "That's hot!" or anything else unintelligent. Or starting feuds, losing your Sidekick, or adopting animals that aren't meant to be adopted and toted around all over creation.

This is not a complete listing of those needing to cease and desist. I reserve the right to add or make changes to the list whenever I so choose.

Random Observations

Monday
"Oh, heck. She's not here." -- Some guy that came into the store when I wasn't working. I have no idea who this fellow was or why he left so quickly after learning I was not at work. Strange.

Tuesday
"You know, Coke shouldn't be the sponser for American Idol. It should be Excedrin Migraine or something to do with headache relief." -- Me, after watching some of the awful contestants on Idol

Wednesday
"I hate to buy this [Mello Yello]. But when I study calculus, I have to have Mello Yello and PEA-nuts." -- Some geeky kid, with an unbelievably nasal and squeaky voice.

Thursday
*clears throat*
"How was your day?" -- A seemingly shy guy who wandered into the store late that afternoon.

Saturday
"We went to McDonald's last night and ordered 20 cheeseburgers!" -- Four high school kiddies who were determined to tell me about the adventures they had the previous evening.

Steven Hill, you rock my socks off! Hill is the best! 51 is the best number ever!
