5-8, 13 to go
5) This is a sad one. Maybe you heard about it. Some mother, who works in a bar, makes Jell-O shots at home and brings them to work to sell, apparently instructed her 4th grade daughter to bring the shots to school to sell them to other kids to raise money for Christmas this year. The girl only had about 30 and was to sell them 3-for-a-dollar. Shit, lady, if you need 10 bucks that bad, I will mail you a fuckin' check. What are the odds she's in a trailer park, smokes cigs, and has a secret crush on Maurey Povich? The girl got suspended for nine days. Wrong. Don't penalize the girl. Toss the mother in a ditch in the middle of Montana or something, but don't penalize the daughter like that. How do people treat their kids like that? I don't like the idea of taking kids from their birth parents, but get that girl the hell out. Wow. Society today.
6) A Linguist at the U of Pitt has published a study on the use of the word "Dude." I read an article about it on cnn.com. It's pretty interesting stuff. He calls use of the word, "Cool Solidarity." In other words, it's guys who are friends, but want it to be clear that they are just friends, who use the word Dude. Check it out.
7) I think every guy out there has one girl in his life who he most likely to wake up to standing over his with a gun pointed at him. I'm not saying girls would do this, but one has to be most likely to. Think about it. It's fun for me to think about, concerning myself and my friends. She is a probably a girl who has stalker-tendencies and becomes jealous quite easily and often for no reason. I'm sure the same is true when genders are reversed. Who is it for you?!? Watch your back.
8) I also think every guy has their "Amy." Everybody is always Chasing Amy. If you haven't seen the movie, chasing Amy is about chasing a girl who you let get away and can't get back for the time being. I think their are other kinds of chasing too, chasing a girl who you know you can't have, chasing a girl who you know you shouldn't have, chasing a girl who your friends know you shouldn't have, chasing a girl who you don't want to have, chasing a girl you have zero chance with, and chasing a girl who you know wants you and that is the only reason you chase her. Think about who these people are for you.
