RIDICULOUS AND FULL OF POOP

I was stumbling the other day, and this article (http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/ALlulr/www.menshealth.com/mhlists/best_sex_tips/printer.php) came up under my "relationship" category.

IT IS RIDICULOUS AND FULL OF POOP.

First of all, sex tips on the internet are insane. Have a good relationship and actually communicate with your partner.

Second of all, these are STUPID!

Their idea of a perfect compliment: "The best compliments are the ones that involve multiple senses. "You have beautiful breasts" is nice. "You have beautiful breasts—they feel so soft and warm in my hands" is that much more intimate."

AWKWARD! No one wants to hear that!

"Shop for cologne she likes"...and what if I don't like cologne?

Start sex in a new place: "The kitchen. The bathroom. Quebec City." Quebec City????

Have sex in a forest: "New Place to Have Sex III: a national park. If the missus likes to vocalize, pitch your tent in Alaska's Denali National Park, where 6 million untamed acres and a crowd-thinning permit system leave little risk of waking the neighbors. She'll gasp in delight when the midnight sun bathes the Big One (that's Mt. McKinley, buddy) in salmon pink light." There are SOOOO many things wrong with this! Alaksa's Denali National Park? Yeah OKAY. My girl's loud so let's buy plane tickets to go tenting in Alaska. Gasp in delight when the midnight sun bathes blah blah blah...if this were an English paper I was grading, I would write AWK AWK! next to that sentence.

And who the heck decided a sex position should be called Yab-Yum???

And THAT my friends, is what college is all about

I had a FANTASTIC night tonight.

After my World Ocean class ended at 7:15, I hunkered down outside the classroom (which is really like a huge auditorium) and waited for 8:00...which is when Bingo started! I met up with Paul, Taylor, and Korbin and ALL OF US WON SOMETHING. First, Paul won this weird freaky light thingy...dunno what it's called but it's spiffy. Then I won a Subway's gift card (which will turn into a random present for David) and a box of candy for Taylor. And THEN, using one of my Bingo sheets, Korbin won this legitimate fleece jacket that says Millersville Meteorology on it. Not gonna lie, it's pretty spiffy.

So that lasted from about 8:00 to 10:00ish? Then it was time for Late Night! We all went to The Anchor, and Paul and I got these wonderful little cups of worms and dirt. YUM. Walking out, we ran into a bunch of people from marching band and of course we ended up forming this little circle and having an awesome conversation in the middle of the hallway. Eventually, me, Paul, Tyler, Rick, and Haydn moved to the couches, plopped ourselves down, and didn't leave until around 11:30 when a janitor told us the building was closing. OOPS.

So many random hysterical conversations that all inevitably led back to drum corps or music...you gotta love bandies. :)

So true!

HMMMM...

Hello, Paul.

Keep working on your essay!

Romney wants to cut PBS? Seriously?

Romney wants to increase military spending? SERIOUSLY?

Though my favorite part of the entire night was after Romney had been talking for a couple minutes about how if he was elected he'd sit down with Democrats on the first day and establish a positive relationship...and then Obama started his next segment with something along the lines of, "You'll have a very busy first day then, because you've also promised to cut Obamacare on your first day and that won't be popular with the Democrats at all."

BURN.

Yaaaaaay politics

Warning to those who are about to read this...the following post is about politics. I never post about politics. EVER. I never talk about politics. EVER. Never EVER. Oh gosh...I'm starting to sound like that stupid Taylor Swift song...

Anywho. I'm really kinda psyched about being able to vote in the upcoming election. I've never been into politics and I still don't totally understand everything, but a lot of my classes in college discuss current political issues and I've had some fantastic conversations with my friends about what we believe in and all that good stuff, so it's really got me thinking about who I'm voting for.

Tonight I went on 2012-presidential-candidates.findthedata.org which compares information about each candidate side-by-side. I've known for awhile that I'm voting for Obama, and reading about some of Romney's stances tonight just completely confirmed it for me.

Let's go through this issue by issue, shall we?

First of all, Obama believes in upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, whereas Romney wants to repeal it. I definitely think the ACA (Affordable Care Act) should stay in place. It will expand coverage for 32 million more Americans while at the same time lowering health care costs over the long term. It also has provisions dedicated to improving the quality and system of service, places a strong emphasis on prevention (free disease screenings and immunizations, HIV screening, STD/STI prevention counseling, cervical cancer screening, contraceptive coverage, etc).

Second point. Obama supports same-sex marriage while Romney opposes it. Having a dad who's gay and living with the most amazing partner, I am a strong supporter of same-sex rights and equality, including gay marriage. I am extremely impressed that Obama announced his support for same-sex couples, knowing that it is such a controversial issue in this nation, and admire his courage. Romney? Yeah, no respect yet.

Next category...abortion. This one's interesting for me. Obama is pro-choice, while Romney is pro-life. While I personally don't think abortion is ever the right option, I also believe that pro-choice is the correct political policy for our country. Trying to enforce pro-life at a national level is impossible, just the same way I think there will never be a national law permitting same-sex marriage. There are just too many people whose opinions you simply can't sway. So although I believe in pro-life, I don't think it's the right choice for our country...if that makes sense.

Romney allows the death penalty sentence. I don't think I'm okay with that. I don't fully have a formed opinion on this one though.

Romney also promotes abstinence only education. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND??? That is INSANE. However "moral" you want high school and college students to be, it's not gonna happen. You can't promote education for your ideal world when everyone lives in reality. If you do, you just come off as being dumb. Refusing to teach teens about contraceptives is ridiculous. End of discussion.

AND ROMNEY DOESN'T BELIEVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE. WHEN THERE'S EVIDENCE ALL OVER THE PLACE SUPPORTING ITS EXISTENCE. Sea levels are rising. In the last century, levels rose about 17 centimeters. The rate has nearly doubled that in the past decade. The global temperature is rising, oceans are warming, ice sheets are shrinking, POLAR BEARS ARE DYING.

Moving onto foreign affairs. In terms of the United States' role in the world, Obama believes we need to "work with multilateral organizations and allies to achieve objectives". Romney, on the other hand, wants to "construct foreign policy that broadcasts American exceptionalism [and] act unilaterally to accomplish the United States' goals". UHHHHHHH??? Seriously? Do you know how selfish and egotistical that sounds? WOW...


I could keep going down the list and writing in caps locks but I think I've made my point. :P
