No Respect

The holiday season has been creeping up on us since November 1st. I think it's kind of sad that as soon as Halloween is over, Christmas starts (and I say Christmas because I don't see very many menorahs out this time of year). There is no recognition for Thanksgiving in America, even though that should be the most celebrated holiday because it represents the fact that the pilgrims made peace with the Native Americans, and settled here for the first time in harmony. Thanksgiving is also a time to be thankful for all of the things (materialistic or not) that we have in our lives. The fact that the Christmas season starts immediately after Halloween I feel is partially to blame all of the department stores. They immediately start putting out holiday decorations and play holiday tunes in their store. Suddenly the average consumer is overwhelmed with red and green and "Christmas cheer" that Thanksgiving goes unnoticed until the actual day of. 

There is no respect for the turkey!! I also don't think it's very helpful that there are minuscule Thanksgiving decorations, but that doesn't mean people have to just skip the holiday? At least wait until December to spread you're Christmas cheer. PLEASE. 

I also find it quite ironic that after we're done being thankful for what we have, our society goes to war at 3 in the morning for material things because "they have to get the deals". Quite sad actually. Ya know, most of the deals go on for the day. Most of them end around 2 or 3 pm and there is still a lot of things in the store. AND, you don't have to run into all the crazy ass people in the morning because they came, they saw, they took, and they went home at 6 in the morning. So here's an idea, get up at say, 7 or 8, and then mosey you're way through the stores. I promise you will have a much more relaxing Black Friday.

So in summary: respect the turkey, ease up on Christmas, and go Black Friday shopping at 8 in the morning instead of 3.  

Whore.

The human mind is an amazing place that scientists know much about. However, there is still so much to learn. What I don't get is specifically how a girl's brain works. What is the difference in a female's mind that thinks certain things are okay or how emotional they get or how much drama they engulf themselves in. I've always wondered this but the thought was brought up to me specifically because of my roommate.
I'm not going to beat around the bush--she's a whore. Now, before you say "but Sam, you have to look at her point of view and understand how she feels," I will tell you that it is physically impossible for me to comprehend how any of her actions are okay in my brain. This is what goes down: she talks to a guy for about 2-5 days. Once she has sex with them, she has zero contact with them. Now, I live at a small college, so she does encounter these guys frequently. She'll pass them and won't even look at them. This creates an awkward situation for me because I have befriended about half of them. Now, I won't necessarily go and hang out with them by myself but I'll have a conversation with them if we're with some of our friends. Still, the fact that hours after she has sex with someone she's done with them baffles me. I'm not going crazy, right? Like, this isn't normal to do.
She made a timeline of her feelings with a guy (kind of like stages of a relationship but how she feels about them), and called it the love line. She wrote it out and keeps it and often shows me where she's at with her flavor of the week.
At one point she was past the "line of feelings that can't be turned off" and she had sex with the guy, and literally 2 hours after she was done talking to him and about him. So far she's slept with 4 guys here and it's only been 2.5 months since we've been at college. She's tried to get with more than that. I think around 8 or 9. At one point she had a different guy sleep in our room with her every night. It was a little excessive.
There was and still is one guy that she has lead on so hard. He's a sweet guy and I can tell she's the only thing he's ever had, whatever that is. He really likes her but she's not giving him any, meanwhile when they took a "break" (I guess that's what we could call it, but they weren't really dating in the first place), she fucked another dude. It's so sad because he's getting his heart broken and she's just a whorey bitch.
I can't comprehend what must go through her mind. How she can be so manipulative. I just hope she doesn't screw any nice guys over. I think it's kind of ironic that she has a spot for guys that have screwed her over, but not one for all the guys that she's screwed over. Anyway, that's my two sense. I needed to vent out my thoughts and feelings about my whore-of-a-roommate.
God, I feel like such a bitch. Oh, well. She's done this to herself. Until next time!

Procrastination

I know everyone has procrastinated at least once. It starts with something that you really don't want to do. You say to yourself "I don't want to do this, so I'll find something more interesting to do." This causes your brain to find the most obscure and stupid things entertaining. I've run into procrastination more times than not. I know I am a procrastinator, and I know I should change my ways, but the thing is, it's an extremely hard habit to break.
 My procrastinating ways have built up over years and years of bad habits. Some people may call this laziness, and say that these procrastinators have no time management and have a poor set of priorities. This may be true for some, but for my other fellow procrastinators, it's a huge generalization that isn't quite true.
Personally, I hate generalizations. I think the main reason is because I feel as though often I am an exception. Maybe it's because I want to feel special and I don't want to be lumped into a big group of people. Or maybe I want to stand out and be different. Maybe it's even because I know everyone is unique, and even if people share some qualities, they may all have a different degree of that quality. Either way, generalization suck, and I don't like them. 
Sometimes procrastination can be a good thing. Often times, I will do something that I was procrastinating just to avoid and procrastinate something else. Unfortunately, that's the only positive thing I can think of about procrastination. A lot of times, people will say, just do your work little by little, and then you won't have as much to do in the end. This is not too easy. When I see anything, I see a lot of work, no matter how much work there actually is. Whether it's a little thing like a small homework assignment, or a big project like cleaning and vacuuming my car. I see it as the same amount of work and effort, which is a lot. And the little work seems huge when in reality it's not that bad.
Now, you may be thinking to yourself, "but don't you realize that once you do them, they take less work and so you should just get them out of the way in the first place?" That would be nice, now wouldn't it. I'm sure it would be fantastic to realize that it's not that much of a workload. But, unfortunately, my brain doesn't function that way. I hope I'm not the only one who feels like this.
Sometimes, I get bursts of energy and motivation to actually do work. And honestly, it feels great when I accomplish tasks. Yet, I'm always procrastinating. It doesn't make sense because if it feels good to accomplish something, wouldn't I want to accomplish more things and thus get more work done and not procrastinate? The answer is yes, that's how it should work, but unfortunately that's not how it actually works. The whole thing puzzles me.
On that note, I am actually procrastinating right now, as I need to write a rough draft for a final paper that's do tomorrow. So goodbye, and get some work done! (don't say you have none, because there's always more work to be done)

What's on the News?

I was on Twitter this afternoon, and as I was scrolling down I opened a picture.

As I was reading the list of things the news talks about, I realized how much of it is actually true. The real issues are never there. It's always, somebody died, stock market's up, somebody famous had a baby, somebody famous got an award, somebody famous is on drugs, gas prices are up, here's people causing an outrage, politics, etc. All information that is quite frankly getting old. Honestly, I really don't care that Kim Kardashian got a new dog or that some guy in a far out county got arrested for drug overdose.
Looking at the list of information we should be informed about is also very true. Some of the stuff on that list I didn't even know was happening. The problem with this is that all media is regulated by the government (which is a whole other rant by itself) and as we all know, sucks. It has always been and always be terrible because of the people in office and their greedy asses. Now, I won't deny that there were some great people in office, but there are and have been more than enough not-so-great people in office.
The fact that this terrible government regulates what the people know is actually pretty horrifying. Media (at least television and radio) is totally corrupt and brainwashing. This is why I do not listen to the radio or watch television (except to watch Pretty Little Liars, which I record and NFL). I honestly don't find a need to.
Now, you may be saying to yourself, "but Sam, how do you stay connected and entertained?" Well, the answer to that question is the internet. One of the big things I like is YouTube. YouTube let's people post up their views and opinions without being censored. Well, I guess it's somewhat moderated because viewers can report things and if videos are copyrighted then they are taken down. But, it's still so open. Honestly anyone can put anything on the internet. Which, in return doesn't necessarily mean everything is true, but I'll take it over unimportant nonsense on television.
And I swear if the government starts to censor the internet too, I think I might go insane and move to Canada.
If we need to know all of these things, maybe I'll figure all of it out and start a new blog. If it does happen, I'll give you guys a link or something. I guess that just about wraps it up for today, and on that note: I hope you learn something new today.

What I'm All About

You may all be wondering what this blog is about and who exactly is behind the keyboard. My name is Sam and I want to share my thoughts with you. It occurred to me a few nights ago while stumbling home from a night out that I have no sensor when I'm drunk, especially on the walk home. I literally just keep talking and talking about anything that crosses my mind. Sometimes I feel like my brain has so many thoughts that I can't keep up with it. I physically cannot speak fast enough to say my thoughts.
So that leaves me with this fantastic idea about creating a blog. Since I've never really expressed myself and my own thoughts any way at all, this experiment could go very well or be absolutely atrocious. Either way, it's a learning experience, and I feel as though this will help me with my writing skills.
Most of these posts will probably be rants about random things. Some may be about my life, about what made me mad or sad that day. Others might be about really philosophical and deep topics, things I've always pondered. What ever it is, I just want to open up my brain in some other way. Some people gossip and talk about things, I want to write.
I don't plan on anyone finding this blog for a while, but if somebody does stumble across this and would like to read more, comment something you would like me to talk about. I generally do better with a subject, because then my brain all of a sudden opens up my opinions on that subject, that I never knew I had. I guess you could say my brain is like an office. It's got lots of files in cabinets, but I don't know what's in them unless somebody says something in that topic. For example, if you ask me my views on a topic, I might share a few things. But if someone says something in an argument against my views, then I will refute them and expand on that little detail of that topic.
I'm not quite sure if that made sense or not, but I can't really explain it any other way. I hope this blog will be an outlet for my thoughts, and with that I say good day.
