WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!

What the fuck? I was taking a shower and I went into my bedroom to get dressed. It was like 10:30 tonight. So, when I wanted to get dressed, of course I started off naked because I just got out of the shower. I hear some guys talking. At first I think it's just through the wall to the apartment next door but then I realize that it is coming from outside. So I look out the bedroom window and there are two guys standing on the fire escape smoking a cigarette right outside my bedroom window ON THE SECOND FLOOR while I was in there naked! in my own bedroom! Yes, I put my robe on before I looked out the window. They were just standing there having a jolly good time so I threw some clothes on quick and dashed outside to get ready to yell at them but when RJ and I got outside they were walking down the street away from the building. I am infuriated right now. I took some photos of their footprints going down the fire escape and I called our landlord. I don't know if it was the guy who lives upstairs, or just some punk kids off the street who thought it would be cool to hang out on our fire escape.

Number 1: It is an invasion of my privacy to have someone standing directly outside my bedroom window on the second floor smoking a cigarette.

Number 2: The fire escape is not safe. It could fall off the side of the building if too much weight is on it, possibly ripping out part of our bedroom wall with it.

Number 3: Who in their right mind chooses to climb out the tiny window and down the fire escape to get outside, instead of using the front door?
...I didn't see any footsteps going UP the fire escape.

peter singer

I cannot believe he did it again.
Actually I can. He was born to be a leech on society.
It's too bad that we have to resort to the court system and the news.
Really, we can make all the bad publicity go away.
It's very simple...all he has to do is...
[size=m]give us our money[/size]
and by "us" I mean all of us. And not just the 4 of us that we have gathered so far, I mean ALL of the poor igorant people like myself that fell for the lies. All I have learned from living in Buffalo is that people are evil at heart, but I know that when he dies...........he will most likely be punished.

I will try to be a good person even though there is this hatred brewing inside of me...

intellectuals at Buff State

Every week in The Record (the Buff State newspaper) on the back they have a section called "On the Record" where they go around and ask the same question to 8 people on campus. This week, one of the questions was, "How can Elmwood Avenue be made more aesthetically pleasing?" This was one student's answer:

Can someone please tell me what that has to do with making Elmwood more aesthetically pleasing?

last day at KMS

I am very sad, on the verge of spilling tears.
It was my last day at Kenmroe Middle School and I am going to miss my kids more than I ever could have imagined. They threw me a party and some of them got me presents, and they made me huge cards that every kid signed.
It was really touching.
A bunch of them said they didn't want me to leave.
I asked the Math teacher down the hall if all the student teachers got this reaction when they left and she said no, and that I should be proud of myself.

banded bangs

there's a theory that the universe is constantly expanding, and eventually it will reach it's peak, and it will turn around and implode on itself, at which point the big bang will repeat and the universe will begin to expand again. this is supposedly a neverending cycle.

so...when i snap a rubberband in between my fingers and dust flies all around, is that really a little universe being created and destroyed by my playful snapping of molecules? does it reverberate forever?
