Hello all!

It's been years! Well, not literally, but it feels like it has been!

Now, while I have no excuse for not posting during January or February, I have a totally legitimate excuse for March! Really! See, my laptop broke and it was this total mission trying to get it fixed! I had to go back and forth from Pasadena and on public transportation no less! It was horrible! It took me like two hours to get there! I just got my computer back on Friday, so I'm deliriously happy. At this point, no one other than myself gets to touch it. (Btw, shout out to Betty who helped me out and listened to my whining and bitching and stupid questions during this really stressful month!)

There isn't much to say about what I have been doing as I haven't really been doing much. I purchased a Kindle, so I have been reading more, but since I lacked a way to access the internet (my laptop is the only sophisticated item of technology in my household) I have been totally disconnected from the world and current news. And no, I don't buy newspapers, so that's not an acceptable method of gathering intelligence.

Currently I'm on dregs of Spring Break, tragically watching as the days dwindle away into nothingness, waiting on the day when I shall have to pick up my pencil and armor once again and set forth, to battle radicals and imaginary numbers. Oh, and all my other classes, too. But math is more important.

Which reminds me; I've been making a strange amount of math jokes... as an English (possibly Art History) major, is the allowed? Like, will they take away my English major membership card?

I've passed my computer-less days watching continuous episodes of Criminal Minds, which was pretty fucking awesome. I realized that CM is quite honestly the only show where I don't hate any of the characters. In every other show that I watch religiously (meaning I stream on the internet) there's always that character that just needs to get thrown off a building and just die. But not in this one. It was just a really strange observation, seeing as I am currently immersing myself into television after a year of non-immersion. Plus I'm making all these really cool connections and catching all these random references to random shit that it just so random!

Like, I was able to catch a Shakespeare plot line by watching like a minute of a movie. It's honestly tripping me the fuck out.

But in a good way.

Also, I'm getting published!! I submitted a few poems I wrote to my college's literary journal and they got accepted! It's not much, but I'm like super stoked about it! Like, my name is going to be in print and distributed. My name! This is huge for me! And besides, everyone has to start out somewhere! ;)

{Although, to be completely honest, I did not think that my writing debut, so to speak, would have been with poetry. Apparently, I can write it. Who knew?}

I'll post up pictures when the journal comes out, so you all can see!

P.S. Should I make a Facebook like page for this blog? That way I can also share other random shit I find on the internet and wish to share with my readers! Yes, all two of you! What do you think?? Leave a comment, or just nod your head approvingly in front of your screen! I'm psychic. I'll know. :)

Boycott Reality Television; It's Fucking Stupid

So it's a new year. It's 2012, and it found me the way it always does; eating. I was enjoying a warm cinnamon buñuelo, made fresh yesterday, with a cup of cold apple cider. At this point, it's practically a family tradition. I hope all of you had a great time, regardless of what you did, be it getting plastered, spending time with family, or grooming your cats.

This blog post will not be about New Year's Eve, however. No; this post will be about something that pisses me off to no end. Something, that for anyone that knows me, I bitch about all the fucking time:

Reality Television.

I hate reality television with the passion of a thousand burning suns. And I don't mean competition shows like America's Next Top Model or RuPaul's Drag Race, which I don't personally watch, but don't seem to bad. I mean the stupid shows that follow around equally stupid people and their petty drama. Drama which, honestly, I do not understand why anyone gives a shit.

Yes, people. I'm talking about shows like Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Jersey Shore. These shows are about people who are not even marginally important in any way. Kim Kardashian, for example, who does absolutely nothing at all, and got famous off a pornographic video. Honestly, society? Are you fucking serious? Why are we giving someone so distasteful enough to display herself in such a shameful manner, then market herself to the world with said sex tape. Is that all anyone has to do? Film themselves having sex, release the tape, voila! They're famous?

It's stupid. How many of these people who shame pornographic actors, who can be considered the world's worst kept secret (everyone knows about them, but talking about them is taboo!), turn around and applaud Kim Kardashian taking a shit? A woman who is famous for exactly the same thing: taking a dick in front of a camera.

Seriously, I want to know. Why are they important? The "Guidos" on Jersey Shore. They do nothing except make fucking fools of themselves on Cable Television, and then endorse some fucking clothing line which the people gobble up like fucking starved maniacs. It's pathetic. It's stupid. And I don't fucking understand why people don't realize this?

(Note: "Guido" is considered a racial slur toward Italian Americans; do you think this makes MTV racist?)

These idiots do absolutely nothing for society; they're not doctors, they don't work, they're not artists, I'm positive most of them can't hold a note to save their sad existence... Hell! They're not even athletes! Generally, I have a low opinion of athletes and their not doing anything for society, but they, at least, do something for their money. Some of them just get pregnant at an insanely early age and get a fucking television show. Really? What the fuck. All these people do is entertain the idiotic masses with a sham wedding or a fucked up relationship and fist fights and they make millions.

There is something seriously wrong here.

I brought this subject up because there has been a recent phenomenon through the net; the "Boycott Kim Kardashian" website, which is comprised of a lot of ideas I believe are true. Here's the link. If you are outraged by this, I would suggest you sigh this petition and pass it along.

Really, we should have a "Boycott Reality TV" movement.

It's fucking stupid.

P.S. I mostly blame people for liking that shit, but then again, I'm a misanthropist. LOL

Thanks for reading!
