Conspiracy Theories

I love conspiracy theories, especially the ones that are so outrageous no way could it be true. The government has let it's people get attacked or has attacked it's own people to go to war. Proved and possible so no fun. A space ship landed at Roswell and they study aliens at area 51. No flipping way is this possible.

Trust me when I say if aliens exist that are advanced enough to make it to planet earth one of two things would happen. They would either run for dear life because they would think that we were completely FUBAR or everyone in the world would know they existed because our government can not hide something this big.

Another thing about the alien stuff that doesn't fit either is the fact that they crashed. Don't you think that a race that was smart enough to bridge the huge gaps in space could do it with out crashing when they got here. If your argue here is that it has only happened a few time or only happened once, I still have to repeat - They traveled hundreds of light years in an instance and you think they ended that with a crash? Lets think about this, crashing is really a human thing. We crash into thing, not normally the other way around.

For those who think that aliens are running around abducting people, I would like to ask, "Have you seen the state of our world?" Sure abducting people from the developed countries seems like the logical choice but when it comes to scientific sampling they would take from everywhere, including those places where things are not going well for the population. Can say I have ever heard of people in the slums of the world getting abducted. Maybe it happens and it's just not reported but maybe they have better things to worry about and that's why they don't make up stories about it.

Then there are the repeat abductions, the people who they keep coming for, over and over and over. Most of these people are not living exciting lives so explain to me why highly intelligent beings are looking at them more then once. Once again, look at the state of our world, why would anyone want to continue coming back here. If I was that smart I would come once take a random sample and after doing so I would be smart enough not to come back.

If they were coming back time and again then that would mean they are here to help us because quite frankly humans are not as interesting as most seem to think we are. They are not coming back to "learn more about us." There is not a whole hell of a lot to learn because we are boring. So if they are here to help then that means that aliens are out to do great and big things. This can not be covered up. The whole world would know if that was really going on.

Aliens are not visiting our planet but it sure is fun to poke holes into peoples beliefs about it.

spring break Final

A few years ago I made a trip to Chicago with a couple of friends of mine, Dylan and Mary Jane which lead to an adventure of hair plugs, my hatred of Starbucks and gay clubs. The 8 hour drive was split up between us, Dylan drove the first leg then Mary was in the middle, she's always in the middle. I of course was the only one who willing to drive into Chicago itself. We were staying in down town and managed to get in during rush hour. Once again, I always end up in large cities during rush hour, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Chicago, St. Louis, etc.

Funny thing is I suffer from anxiety. I hold it together and try and pretend that it doesn’t bother me. None of my friends have ever figured out that I am scared as hell to be driving in mass amounts of traffic. The fear comes from the fact that the larger the group of people the more stupid they act. Now put all that idiocracy into large metal death boxes. Add into the equation that people are competitive which leads to offensive driving. If everyone would just take a deep breath and respect the mightiness of the car then my fear of the road would not be so great.

We make it the hotel just fine, go out to eat, and then crash out for the night. Although our first day is not that exciting, it get better.

Day two starts out with us getting up early and going to a medical office. Dylan needed to get his hair plugs checked. It was the one-year mark and I guess they needed to be checked. The view from the doctor’s office was amazing. The high rise next to us had a pool and garden on the roof.

The food in big cities is amazing. There are more flavors to be tasted. Compared to the food I had in Chicago, every restaurant in Kearney taste like I’m chewing on cardboard. This makes no sense because the meals in Chicago were not more expensive then eating out in Kearney. I love food but I have been spoiled by my travels.

This trip to Chicago also leads to my hatred of Starbucks. I am ad major and therefore a brand whore. I do love brand name stuff but it has to be quality. First off Starbucks is not quality. Second, there is no need for two Starbucks to be on the exact same block. They were even on the same side of the street. I consider this overdoing it. That was the day I swore I would never drink Starbucks coffee.

Later that night we go out on the town. We hope on the L train and head out. We get off in an area of town known as “boys town.” I have never seen so many Leather, porn, and bondage shops in such a short walk.

We get to a club, have some drinks, and are having a good time. Next thing you know Mary Jane and I get kicked out for being strait girls. There was no way they could prove we were strait but we were asked to leave because they didn’t want “strait girls” in their club. WTF?!?

Well a man couple there over heard this and invited us to an afterhours club, that was friendly to all, down the street. We ended up loosing the guys who we came with, seven sheets to the wind and I was the only one sober enough to get us back to the hotel. This included getting on the right L train and navigating the 8 blocks after we get off the train. Not to mention the trying to talk the drunks into believing I knew where we were. So how did I end up being the only one who was hung over? I don’t know but I now know what gay clubs, hair plugs, and my hatred of Starbucks have in common. It was my spring break trip to Chicago.

Mornings

Being an early riser in college has it's advantages. There are only 3 other people awake and moving in the dorms (resident halls) at 6am. This means you don't have to worry about not getting a show or even combing your hair for at least another hour.

Another perk is that it is quite and you can get homework done. In the evenings it is loud from 3pm on. While quite hours should start at 10pm, this doesn't normally happen. Being the one who has to enforce this I am well aware of the fact that the young adults around here are not ready to be quite at 10pm.

This leads to problem of getting to sleep at night so you can wake up to a early peace and quite. Problem solution - iPod and headphones, fans also work along with ear plugs. I do own a giant box of ear plugs, which are over half gone from this school year.

Remember - early to bed and early to rise makes a man heath and wise.
