  • Observations on Omega Psi Phi and Delta Epsilon Psi

    *WARNING: EXTREMELY BIASED AND CLOSE-MINDED VIEWS AHEAD*

    One of these guys was giving a presentation in class and all I could focus on was his shirt. It blew my mind. Here it is, word for word, grammar mistake for grammar mistake:
    "There are those born scared and afraid and not willing to show some guts.
    For those people I say, don't even think of pledging Omega Psi Phi because only real men become one of the Sons's of Blood and Thunder."

    I guess they're not going for substance. The very first sentence was already full of redundancies. After copying it down, I tried to focus on the speaker. He wasn't doing a very good job. He seemed to be going in circles and not getting to the point. Yeah, not all of us are good at public speaking (myself included) but all I could think was, "....I'll bet he designed the shirt."
    And the other brothers of BLOOD AND THUNDER approved.
    Ok ok, he probably knows the shirt has a few mistakes.  He's in college.  He's probably read a book or two.  But then...why wear it in front of your peers??  And to a class where you know you'll be giving a presentation?!
    "They'll understand what we mean."
    Sure they will...and they'll make certain judgments about you, too.  Like I am right now, when I should be paying attention.


    Then I saw Delta Epsilon Psi at the organization fair at Tech. Their banner said:
    Delta Epsilon Psi
    BROTHERHOOD DISCIPLINE COMMITMENT
    If that doesn't scream 'WE HAZE', I don't know what does.  If you join this frat and complain about being humiliated, I'll have to balk.  I mean, it's not exactly a case of false advertising.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the fraternities are idiots. I'm just saying they need to work on their pitch. And Public Relations. Maybe fire their PR chair.

    And not be such tools. XD

    What My Wrath Is Worth

    So today I had to pick up my sister from her bus stop.  I don't really like doing it to begin with and I had several things to do in addition.  Soooo when I called Mia and told her I was outside I expected her to walk out in less than 30 seconds.  But no.  She took her sweet time.  Five minutes later, I'm seething.  She finally gets into the car and cheerfully goes "Sorry about that."
    Me (controlling myself): Mia, I have shit to do and some of it is time-sensitive so NO, you're NOT forgiven!
    Mia dug into her grocery bag and pulled out a caramel apple.  She handed it to me.
    Mia: Am I forgiven now?
    Me *boink*: YES!
    And I was happy, even though I didn't make it to Market Street before 4pm.

    I was placated with FOOD.  WITH FOOD!  Like a monkey!!
    No no, scratch that.  My wrath was BOUGHT OFF with food!  I have to admit, I had no idea it was so simple.
    It's kind of embarrassing.

  • What Am I?! Fly paper for CREEPERS?!?!

    I've decided that I only have ONE requirement when it comes to being friends with a guy: he must NOT be creepy.  But apparently that's too much to ask, according to my workplace.

    And on a related note, when is it the right time to report a guy who's interested in me (and I've already rejected him...nicely)?  When he starts to touch me?  When his comments get sexual?  Because right now his flirting is relatively mild but it just makes me feel like I'm shriveling up.

  • What's It's To You?! (Prop 8)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgg9Gd_Rac0

    Keith Olberman on Proposition 8.  Don't extinguish happiness!  It has enough enemies as it is!


    I'm on Love's side.  That includes God's, and I'm not talking about the one those close-minded conservatives (and even some of my close friends) pray to.  My Jesus doesn't look down on love, in any form.
    That being said, I do respect all lifestyles and major religions.  As long as what you're doing isn't hurting yourself or other people (physically or otherwise), I'm cool with it.
    But I'm probably still going to rag on you (World of Warcraft users, I'm looking at you).  Because sarcasm and picking fights is too fun to give up.
