School life

Detecting a theme in these posts, are we? Well hell, you can't blame a guy for being preoccupied with himself and what's going on in his own world, right? Especially not when he is writing for his own blog.

Today I realized that university and college towns would be the perfect place to live, if it weren't for the damn undergrads. They are loud, obnoxious, ostentatious (a grad school world), and for the most part, just plain dumb.

Take for instance these two jokes sitting at the next table over here at Cafe Allegro (the first espresso shop in Seattle, and pretty darn good coffee, too boot). They are in some philosophy topics course and are currently reading David Hume, one of the first Empiricists (any Descartes-hater is a friend of mine). So anyways, I can see by the book sitting on the table that homies are still in the first chapter. And yet they are running their mouths like they are freaking Hume scholars, bad mouthing everything from Christianity to Kant, whom I am sure they haven't even read yet (cuz Kant always comes after Hume in modern philosophy classes, duh)! So they are having this quasi-high minded conversation when a couple of co-eds walk in. Next thing you know, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum are talkin' about how awesome it's gonna be to get shit-faced and do some E this weekend.

Now, I know I shouldn't be judgmental because I was probably actually worse when I was there age, in terms of know-it-allness and meat-headedness all wrapped up into one, but for some reason it still annoys the shit outta me. I mean, I am sitting here, quietly trying to do my get my homework done, and these fucks just have no respect for their elders. It's like they don't even know how loud they are being. Should I say something? No, of course not, that would make me a mean old man. If anything I should offer to buy them booze to get them the hell outta here. But were we really this annoying? Were we worse? This makes me sorta sad to think about, I have a feeling I might still be this annoying. I know, instead of saying something, I will just give them the stink-eye. Like this:
Woah, this post is going south fast. Enough introspection, back to my fake "Memo to the President" on the dismal state of health care in the US. I'd say it's easy and going well, that it's essentially writing itself at this point, but that would be a bald faced lie. It is currently writing this pointless and wandering post. But, I need to try to get it done soon so I can go grab beers with this friend of a friend (the one in Saipan), and hopefully become friends with this FoF. Wish me luck, this could go a number of different ways. Sometimes FoFs are awesome, and become your own friends. Other times you find that the only real thing you have in common is said friend. So we'll see. I am sure hoping we connect, cuz lord knows I need some friends. Not that I am trying to be all pitiful or anything, just sayin' it'd be good to have some more buddies, that's all.

I mean c'mon, does this look like a guy who is wallowing in his own pity-party right now? Hell no! Godspeed, LIFE! Hoo-haa! Get some!
Alright, this procrastination is just getting ridiculous. And besides, I am getting looks from the others around me who keep wondering why I am taking pictures of myself with my computer. And frankly, I don't blame them, this is weird and more than a little self-serving. But that is what blogging is all about right? Well, that and procrastination.
