 > I’m pissed because of Burlington’s Barnstormers tour game with the KU seniors. I’m not playing in it even though I really want to, when Nick and Lance are both playing in it when don’t really even want to. Burlington, WTF man. How about throwing your former home-away-from-home kid a bone?

 

 > Today on campus I stumbled across a couple of old guys who took it upon themselves to preach the teachings of God and Jesus our savior to all the college students. I see now how religious wars get started. When you can look at a group of people in the eyes and tell them they are all terrible people, sinners, will be going to hell, Jesus will kill you, a bunch of “Faggots and lesbians,” and tell them they are Satan, I guess I could see where you’d be radical enough to throw some punches. Luckily, the group sitting before them didn’t feel the need to resort to any form of physical violence, although it probably could have been justified if they did. I’m glad they didn’t, I really don’t understand how these guys could think they were doing ANYBODY any good. They didn’t make God or Christianity attractive, they threatened and called names and fouled their speeches up with all sorts of hypocritical bullshit such as telling a college student that he was “going to hell for judging (the preachy guy)” when, first off- that statement alone is a judgmental statement, and second off, calling a bunch of college age kids Masturbators isn’t being judgmental. If they ACTUALLY wanted to convert anybody to being Christian, they would have had to had a heart attack sent to them from God for being such shitty messengers. I’m not saying that I wished death upon them, because I honestly don’t; I just wish they could open their eyes to something other than what the Bible says word-for-word. I can tell you that I’ve explored my options when it comes to that, so I’m allowed to pick whatever I want to pick because I made an informed decision.

 > Court TV has changed their name to “tru TV” and their slogan is “not “reality,” ‘Actuality.’” I find that funny because no matter what you call it, it’s still dramatized for television audiences… and even if it wasn’t, it’s still TV. The only way that TV could approach “real” would be if they had a channel that showed you sitting there watching TV doing nothing on your couch. That’s actuality. I do believe TV has a point, but “Reality” or “Actuality” TV is not it.

 

 > Look at me, being all high and mighty college kid like I used to be. I should write something immature and surface level to save face.

 > I took a dump today. I at 6 pieces of pizza at the mandatory floor meeting while some people didn’t have any. I saw people there who I literally have never seen before, even though they have lived on my floor for the entire year. I
