Serious Question

Reasons I don't fancy feminists too much...

Why is it ok to laugh at and joke about murder, but God forbid we laugh at rape? Call me insensitive, call me ignorant, I don't care. Both are horrid things that we have to live with as humans. Yeah, it'd be great if it would stop, but (in my opinion) it's ingrained into our psyches as homo sapiens. We are animals, guys, animals who will go to any lengths to reproduce and come out on top. We will kill, and we will rape. It could also be that neither has hit close to home, and I am thankful for that. But it does not change the fact that animals do stupid things, and we are animals. Psychologically speaking, laughter is the best medicine for the chemicals it releases - so why can't we laugh, why shouldn't we laugh at the worst parts of humanity?

This all started in reading an interview with Seth McFarlane, the creator of 'Family Guy', and I ended up there from a fem blog entry analyzing the answers he gives and on a basic level, the show itself. My opinion is that the show is considered 'bad' because of its brutal honesty. It makes a commentary on society by being politically incorrect. ZOMG OH NOES~!

This is one of few things that piss me off royally. Hence, this entry.

There are my two cents. Spend 'em, chuck 'em, keep 'em, reject 'em. Whatever.

See you in my dreams...but not you, Mr Dark Lord, sir.

In my dream last night, Voldemort had it out for me. Even though I kept giving him shit (pretending technology was failing, even though I was the one messing with the phone in the elevator) and it didn't really seem like anything serious he was after me for, I was scared as hell. I kept trying to make jokes with his followers (they weren't really Death Eaters) and they just kept glaring at me. I didn't know it was possible to have a legit panic attack while dreaming, but I did. Even after the dream had changed to some other plotline, I kept looking over my shoulder, thinking he was gonna show up when I least expected him.

That's all, I just felt the need to throw that out there.

Maundy, Maundy

Some quick things that'd flitted through my mind in the last couple of hours.

My bad-student half kicked my ass two-fold tonight. I'd wanted to go to a Maundy Thursday service, but because I've skipped classes quite enough I couldn't. My own fault, I admit that completely. Insult to injury was going over the papers we handed in last week. Mine sucked - again, all me. Doesn't change how it pisses me off/depresses me/make me just want to jump around and scream.

I probably should be packing stuff to cart home this weekend. Three guesses what I'm doing tomorrow morning before I go to breakfast.

If I say 'Michigan,' what do you think of? Allow me. Detroit and the recently-raided terrorists. Bloody hell. No wonder the state is in such a shambles. We have piss-poor public image. No one ever hears about the budding wind farms, or the gorgeous areas not on the lakeshores, or the many many many historical sites. 'Course not. The media only ever blathers on about Detroit and Christian terrorists. (Those could easily get another full entry from me, if I should decide to devote the time and energy. Don't count on it.) And so we come full circle to how I feel about the media and society generally and I don't intend to go into that right now.

Last night was good - in bed by a reasonable time, not up until ten (we'll ignore that I hit snooze several times prior to actually getting up). And yet, here I sit, exhausted and falling asleep, and it's quarter to twelve. Mon Dieu. What kind of college student am I??

...don't answer that.

Right - I'll be going home tomorrow, as I believe I've said, which means no interwebz again until Monday afternoon. So, lucky for you, this sucker'll be dormant for a bit. Probably just as well.

Since I won't 'see' you until then - To those of you of the Christian persuasion, have a blessed Easter, and to those of you of the Jewish persuasion, have a blessed Passover, and to the rest of you, just have a blessed weekend. Whether you believe in blessings or not doesn't mean you can't be blessed.

Ten bucks says I'll see that in the morning and wonder how I ever thought that made sense.

Why?

Maybe if I spend less time philosophising, and more time just taking on the issues in my life, I'd get shit done.

Wow! What a concept!
