that other guy’s thoughts

I have never despised the human race more than I do right now.

Once again, Dr. Farohki’s ignorance instills rage within me. He spent 15-20 minutes today chastising our entire Aerodynamics class because 3 of us (including me) couldn’t remember the word, “adiabatic”. The question he asked was vague, but that’s beside the point. The real kicker of the situation was how he managed to insult every student’s work ethic, while simultaneously announcing the superior study habits he had as a student.

Up until this point, I would just let it slide for sake of ignorance, but he had to take it a step further. He just had to go and claim that he was so sympathetic and understanding of the junior class’ plight. He even went so far as to say that all the faculty were being more than generous because they moved tests dates around. He may have the god-given ability to teach aerodynamics extraordinarily well, but he is definitively a pompous ass.

The White House administration spent 30 minutes Wednesday pandering to the leader of the thug wing of the Chinese government, praising him for ignoring North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, commending them for going to space, being encouraged because they want to move forward.

The Chinese response?

“Why aren’t you agreeing with our decision to eradicate the oldest democracy in Asia? ‘Adhere’ to our ‘one-China’ policy and help us destroy Taiwan! You evil capitalist scum!”

I couldn’t think of a more perfectly analogous conversation myself.

U.S. Economy went up 19.2% this quarter. The biggest jump in 19 years. There is no way the media dwells on this, because heaven forbid something that sheds a positive light on the Bush administration.

I’d like to say I’m happy for everybody because society benifts from growing economies and all that junk, but honestly, I just want a job when I graduate.

UPDATE: CNBC sites the more modest annuated rate. They also manage to complain about how socks didn’t go up today, claim that there is no way this could last, spend 10 paragraphs on companies that didn’t do as well as they thought they would, and spend 200 words squawking up mutual fund scandals and the end of the economic world as we know it. You can hardly tell that something great has been happening for 3 months.

In my ever-widening knowledge base, I discovered one fact that makes me totally awesome. I share a birthday with the B-17 Flying Fortress! We were both born on July 28 (assuming first flight is the aircraft equivalent of being born).

That’s right, some people hem and haw over which movie stars and athletes share their birthday, but not me. I dwell in the knowledge that I share my special day with a 27-ton behemoth capable of dropping more than 6,000 pounds of carnage inducing joy!

We all know I didn’t do a damn thing. But what about the anti-TOG’s of the world? What were they up to?

Because of the rapid, massive poliferation of all things TOG, my arch-enemy’s numbers are decreasing, so it took a bit of snooping to figure out where they were. But alas, I have discovered the weekend activities. Behold the ridiculousness of them:

my personal comments are not required at this time, because seriously, don’t you already know what I’m going to say?

I do however, encourage you all to mock them with every fiber of your beings. Please post your tounge lashing here so I can enjoy their pain.

hat tip: D Shulman over @ Little Green Footballs. Bravo!

Once again, ye gods of sport saw justice done today, when the Marlins smote those overpaid pinstriped cry babies. Meaning for the 3rd staight year, TOG’s second favorite baseball team won the World Series.

Three Cheers for the “not-the-yankees”!

Hip, hip…?

anybody…please?

…Bueller?

…Bueller?

After 3 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days, I finally made it back home. So I’m posting this via the ‘rents computer in all it’s Windows 98 glory. But that’s not what I’m typing to tell you about, I’m posting this at 1:30 in the a.m. to let you all know that I now have another child-o-blog.

So props to my old friend Kristi (old as in friends for more than 1 year, not as in you are old, because…well…nevermind, please don’t kill me) and her blog delightful delirium. I’ll add it to my little blog book as soon as I shake this self-induced case of laziness, which has come about because I’m at home on fall break, thus bring this post full circle.

To in conclusion, (cue special Ed from Crank Yankers):

Yea! Yea! Fall Break, Yea!

just to clear a few things up about the not so infamous phrase:

and if you still don’t get it: watch and be amazed

My reason to live on tuesday’s is now gone. Tuesday Morning Quarterback was the sole joy on a horrible day of the week, but now ESPN has taken it away and all because somebody got hypersensitive about somebody else’s miscontrued wording from Gregg’s 2nd job writing for the New Republic.

I want my TMQ back and I’ll letter write like hell to get it.

nothing of interest is happening today, so we’ll revist one of the best quotes I’ve ever heard.
