Just Some Thoughts

Alright, Nation. I don't really have a specific cause this time. I know. It's March, and Valentine's Day has long since past. Of course, I'm talking the ever intriguing, always quirky, love.

I'm not going to try to answer the impossible, "What is it?" It's different to everyone. Obviously. But I know what I've seen, I know what I've been through, and I know what I want to happen. I've been "in love" twice, I believe (three if you count Uma Thurman, but that'll always be there). I know, critics. "You can only be in love once!" I disagree wholeheartedly. I know I've felt it, twice, with 2 different people. I know what it feels like, and it cannot be described completely. But what I had, even though it did not last, I feel I did WANT it to last. It didn't work out. It may never work out. Or it might. I don't know. But what I had, that's what I want, but with a few more things that I may not have had before.

I want her to support me, I want her to understand what I want, and I want to understand what she wants. I want her to be interesting, I want her to be funny, I want her to appreciate my humor and the way I do things. I want her to have a goal in life, I want her to be steadfast, I want her to care. I want her to like movies, I want her to at least cope with the fact that I am a gamer, I want her to be fond of music. I want her to be beautiful. I want her to fight back, I want her to be a little different, but I want her to be very close to me in the end. I want her to know what I mean by talking in my Stewie voice. I want her to know who Beatrix Kiddo is. I want her to be happy. I want to be happy. But most of all, I want to be absolutely and totally comfortable when I am with her. I want it to seem like it was always that way. And I want it to stay that way.

So, I guess I felt a lot of these things, but not all of them, twice. The thing that makes the whole single game difficult is seing others in relationships. But I will tell you, it is almost impossible to start something new in the Freshmen year of college. It's virtually impossible. Especially with the whole Pharmacy thing going on. However, it is most difficult at times when your two best friends are in probably the best relationship. Sure, there are fights, many of them, some can seem stupid, but deep down, it is quite evident that each one means something to them. And even in the most drastic of circumstances, both want to keep it going. They can't imagine life without each other, but they WANT to keep it that way. It is equal, it is quirky, it is almost perfect. THAT is what I want. I want to know the person inside and out, and I want to know what it feels like to have whatever it is they have.

And have I found that yet? No. Definitely not. I don't know. I may never find it. Will someone feel that way about me? It is hard to believe a person exists who would. But I want to find her. Maybe not right now (being single is a little interesting, and fun, I must admit). Right now, maybe dating is the best thing. But I want it. Eventually.

Don't worry, Ms. Thurman, you will always be in my heart...

Obviously.

Nation, look at us. Just take a look. Do a little introspection nation. It's time to start acting like a real country. I mean come on, we can't even get the people who represent us to be smart, so let us be smart. Alright? Let's be smart.

Okay. So yesterday, I think, in Boston, these signs for the show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, one of the best shows on [adult swim], thusly T.V., were found, even though they had been there for WEEKS. This fact will become quite important later, but for now, officials believed these devices were bombs, of course, because they had batteries and wires coming out of them. Not to mention they depicted a Mooninite giving the finger (which consists of a single line). Now these signs lit up at night (of course that means they had URANIUM in them), quite similar to the oh-so-awesome Lite Brite of the '80's. In essence, the entire city of Boston was shut down due to the presence of these devices, around 40 of them, throughout the city.

Okay, let me get this out of the way. Was it ENTIRELY intelligent to place electronic devices randomly around the city? Probably not. Maybe next time put a logo or something under them. So yeah, it may have been a slip of the mind, but ONLY a slight one.

Now, let's get on with it. What is really going on. It's like that Comcast commercial, for saving cabbage, you know? "STOP FREAKIN' OUT!" Holy freaking God settle down. First of all, as I explained before, they had been there for weeks. WEEKS! AHHHH! The sheer stupidity of overlooking this fact is making me go CRAZY! These signs had been there for awhile, and a) they did NOT blow up b) no one cared and c) they DID NOT BLOW UP. They were not bombs. They were a marketing campaign (which, by now, is probably a good one [irony...]). And yet, they were obviously part of hoax. A hoax! Do you know what the word hoax really means? It means "something used INTENDED to deceive or defraud." For those of you who still don't quite understand, that means it is something INTENDED to deceive or defraud. Nowhere does it say "a marketing campaign that was MISTAKEN for terrorist activity."

That's the other thing. The logical side. I mean, if this really were a terrorist plot, would they REALLY have left these things out that light up, LIGHT UP, at night with a character from a (relatively) popular T.V. show? I mean, we're constantly told that terrorists are these people that are very smart and cunning and will do anything to bring down America. Does placing popular logos of a T.V. show about Frylock (talking fries) Master Shake (talking milkshake) Meatwad (talking meatball) and the Mooninites (talking Moon pixel-people) and leaving them out for weeks for many people to see really sound like a "smart" plan? Or do you think they might start by getting into places with a lot of people and low security (basically any big gathering of people)? What we should be scared of, Nation, is drug trafficking, smuggling, airport security, Iraq, global warming, Sudan/Darfur, the justice system, Alzheimers, obesity, racism, prejudice, cancer, Hillary Clinton! But of course, I'm just a young person, and I don't know what I'm talking about. Of course, I didn't SPECIFICALLY say that the marketing people's judgment wasn't exactly great. I DIDN'T say that. I didn't cover my bases, knowing that I probably would have put the damn logo for the show under the signs (that was a pretty stupid move, marketers). Right.

I know I'm only 19, which of course means I am probably a liberal, but I'm NOT. I'm a freaking conservative, but COME ON. Settle down. Instead of trying to ascertain what exactly the logo was, even if it was nothing (which it wasn't), you just overreacted. And now, of course, it's a hoax. It was intentional. Oh my, Nation. Oh my.

Number one in the hood, G...
