Thoughts on The Grammy's and Being A Failure

For some reason I put being a failure as the second part of the title, but as it turns out, it is the first thing I talk about. Talk about being a failure at organizing. Another thing I found out I failed at? Early celebration. Yes I know this all sounds convoluted, just wait for it. So the Computer Science program here at UW does not exactly grade things "quickly". I get it, I really do. The programs do probably take awhile to grade and there are a lot of 302 students. Normally I would not really care, but in this certain situation, it felt like a slap in the face. Today I got my grade back for the Ant Colony Optimization Program. (Yes it was exactly as exciting as it sounds). Ants and tunnels, pretty boring stuff. I worked pretty damn hard on it. Looking back at my notes from the assignment, they looks like the scribblings of a paranoid schizophrenic. Well, I was not all that impressed with my grade. I wont go into numbers, but let's just say one little mistake propagated into a lot of points marked off. I felt really confident about it when I turned it in. I was so confident and happy about being done with it that I grabbed my friends and went out for some celebratory Parkour, and well the rest is history (THAT IS HOW I BROKE MY BACK). In other words I probably should have waited to see my grade before celebrating. My not have spent my Halloween weekend in the Hospital.

Segway....

That great moment when you find out your professor is on my oxycodeine than you are.....

Grammys.
I heard Skrillex is going to be nominated for Best Artist. Now don't get me wrong, I like me some Skrillex. But I think Best Artist is kind of a stretch. Supposedly Bon Iver is also getting nominated for Best Album (These are all rumors from Reddit's Ugly Sister Tumblr at this point). I get what the "Grammy People" are trying to do. I mean it is probably a good thing that they are expanding to all genres of music. And yet I can't help but to get a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing. I am just worried that they will take it too far. I was content with the way things were. The Grammy's did their thing with their music, and I did my thing. At the risk of sounding like an incredibly douchey hipster, I will say that I would rather not have all my favorite bands performing at the Grammys. In the end I guess it just goes to show that I just don't listen to obscure enough bands. Moral of the story... I failed again.

Here is not a very obscure band, but a badass song.

ps- My scouces tell me the nominations were announced on TV, but I like my joke so I am going to keep it that way. I am going to hide this down here in case anyone wants to call me wrong.

Thoughts on Reddit Love

Hey Reddit,
I know we haven't really know each other for that long, but I feel like we have really clicked. Your not like the other girls I have dated. My break up with StumbleUpon was really hard, but you were there to rebuild me. You always have so much interesting stuff to talk about with me. I have really loved all the time we have spent together (Yah I know we have been like attached at the hip over the last couple weeks). I am always impressed at the breath and depth of topics you are knowledgeable about. You literally have something to say about every single topic I can think of. You reward me for being creative and original. Your a great cartoonist, and always up to date on current events. So I guess I am writing this because I want you to know that I love you.

Okay seriously Reddit is like the greatest website on the planet. There is literally a subreddit for every single possible thing you could want to read/post/talk about. God I have spent (read: not wasted) so much time on reddit and enjoyed every minute of it. So if you love the internet and have way to much free time/have no life. I would suggest you start reddit-ing. Might I suggest starting in /r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu. Mindless and frankly pretty immature humor. The best kind.

Thoughts on The Bouncing Souls

Bouncing Souls. On Saturday, in NYC and then ay after that Six Flags Great Adventure. I am very excite. Just have to survive one more day in the desert wasteland that is Target parking lot. Seriously it was like a million and a half degrees plus humidity today. I almost died, could have cooked eggs on the sidewalk hot. Anywho I will be taking awesome pictures and stuff as usual. Otherwise it is early to bed early to rise push shopping carts all day and eat lots of french fries. Also, reddit has many comical casey anthony jokes to be found. No it is not to soon.

Thoughts on Reddit

Oh man, I just discovered Reddit, it is absolutely amazing. So much time wasting available on website, it like if there was an Internet Christmas. It is like a list of awesome Stumble upon pages all on one screen. I spent the whole day on Reddit and doing laundry. I have been super pro-active lately when it comes to chores and stuff. I always make my lunch for work the night before, clean and organize my room and stuff. Feels super good to not be a lazy ass. I also added some buttons to the blog, to share it on Stumble, Reddit, Digg, ect ect. Feel free to click on them and make me happy. No pressure or anything. Also check out that article I linked below this post. It is freaking genius. Jimmy Carter talking about America's oh so wonderful "War on Drugs." It is one of those things that still boggles my mind. Why we continue to waste time, money and frankly lives to stop people from smoking pot, while simultaneously lining the pockets of the Mexican drug cartel. Hey maybe let people in America grow the drug and pays taxes to the government on it? No, pot is dangerous, all we need is tobacco and alcohol. Good safe non-addictive legal substances for us to abuse. tisk tisk tisk America. I am disappoint...as usual...

Song for tonight is gonna be relevant as heck.
