As the semester slowly but surely creeps to an end, this work just keeps getting exponentially more difficult to complete. I knew that the warmer weather would make me want to laze around outside more. I had no idea however that it was also increase my likelihood to take a nap, to stare out the window, to take a nap, or to just sleep. I wake up hoping to god that the wind is calm enough that i can wear shorts and not have frost bite walking across the drill field.
How bout dem Hokies. With all the "march madness" bracket busting going on, everyone seems to have forgotten last weeks favorite basketball team. I'm as big as a V Tech fan as anyone, but that Not Interested Tournament loss at home to Road Intown? or whatever their name was proved that we didn't get snubbed by the "biased" committee.
And the topic that has got everyone talking is the planned visit by the westboro baptist church. They are coming to picket the April 16th 2007 massacre. I personally can't stand when people use this as a, for lack of a better word, motivational tool to rally support to cause at virginia tech. I think it needs to be left in the past and not exploited to get people to agree with an argument. That being said this "church"'s main goal is to get attention by any means necessary, and what better way than to come to a super dense area of outspoken people and strike a sensitive nerve. The big argument around the campus is how to respond to these assholes. No doubt attention is what they are after, but I feel like they will get it no matter what any body tries to do. I have seen the "where's the doughnuts" and rick roll methods which are hilarious but I can't really say that would be the best way to handle it. I really have no idea what the appropriate action is and it is nothing short of sad that any one could bring themselves to say what they have said about such topics.
I hate to end this in such a serious way, so here's something you'll get a kick out of if you know you're 90's basketball superstars (or Jimmy Kimmel): http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2031920072

I agree, I am all for freedom of speech, but sometimes I am appalled by the things people say. I have watched a few videos on the WBC, and there are some clever ways to deal with them that I found funny.
ReplyDeleteI find that our basketball team was way to inconsistent. I think we can hang with the best teams but barely beat the bad ones.
