other blogs suck

you know, i should start compiling a list of other blogs that suck. here’s another one. this guy’s entire website consists of taking pictures of what he ate for lunch. the obvious question is “who gives a shit?” i realize that one could make the following case against my site: “jason, your site contains your thoughts and the details of your life. who gives a shit about that?” the answer is, in my opinion, that i at least try to convince you why you should give a shit – and if you don’t, then i can’t help you. this site is totally useless – just pictures of the greaseballs this dude crammed down his gullet for lunch. there’s no evaluations of the food or the places he ate at, no impressions, no nothing – just pictures of food. what a waste of time.

warning

you should avoid like the plague any woman who refers to men she is dating or wishes to date in general as “boys”. they are either idiots or far too much trouble to hang around.

so i’ll be a bandwagoneer

fuck it, i’ll be a bandwagoneer. the kansas city royals are 17-4 and have won five out of the last six games. it’s fun when your team wins – they stunk so bad for so long, so it’s so nice to see the city get behind them out of the gate.

pass me a big honkin’ steak

a dispatch from the bullhorns of far-left lunacy: peta has offered officials of the town of hamburg, new york $15,000 to change its name to veggieburg. if i were the mayor of such a town, i would respond by banning any peta members from my town for life and declaring that day “mayor’s barbeque day”.

seriously, how can this group of radicals expect to ever be taken seriously with stunts like this? also, peta released an ad that compared eating meat to the holocaust, in which hitler’s nazis killed six million jews. isn’t this over the top? they have only managed to turn reasonable people off to their message, which might in part be legitimate. they are toeing the line of ultra-radical (and even terrorist) groups like the earth liberation front and the people who bomb abortion clinics.

and then there was one

purdue sweetened their offer to me even after i had already made up my mind to attend. they are offering me a bigger stipend, and a year off from teaching. now, i don’t mind the teaching; in fact, i like getting in the classroom. but, it will be nice to focus on passing the qualifying exams straight away as opposed to taking a year or so of classes first.

it appears illinois’ bill self will take the basketball head coaching job at kansas.
