I wish I wasn’t as busy as I am. I have so much
shit to do that I can’t even see my girlie. I have to
spend hours at a time in front of this damn thing.
You know the thing I hate about computers? They
don’t fucking work. I spent 4 hours on a rough draft for
my Eng 313 class only to find out the next day that I did
it all wrong. So I spent another 4 hours doing another
one. You know what this damn computer just did? It ate
it! It ate the whole damn thing.
No, not all of it. I managed to save about 4 pages
of it unscathed, but it was done. I don’t even think I had
to revise it all that much. It was completed and instead
of being happy that I have one less thing to do, I have to
spend another 1-4 hours trying to figure out what sort of
genius words I scribed in order to get my perfect grade.
Gaddam I hate computers.
OK, no more swearing. I’m supposed to be writing
about lots of things, aren’t I? Well tough titty. This is
about what a college student thinks about and a college
student thinks about college.
So there.
Speaking about what I think: I just got done
reading Reads again by Dave Sim (he’s the guy I wrote about
a while ago. I think he should be put in with the greatest
minds of out time like John Locke). I think he makes some
pretty valid points.
He basically says that women are dumb. They are.
They talk about dumb things and have most of their lives
revolve around something that shouldn’t even matter to them
all that much (acceptance). But here’s the thing that Dave
doesn’t get: women are much more complex than men. I’m not
saying that they think on a higher lever or anything, I’m
just saying trying to understand them is like a fern trying
to understand a cat. They are just on two different
playing fields.
That’s an interesting analogy. Mostly because a
cat, starting at a very young age, needs care for and once
it no longer needs care, it still looks for care and as it
gets older still all it cares about is attention. If you
don’t pay attention to it, then to hell with you, it’ll
find someone who does. A fern needs a lot of care when it
is born, but when it hits a certain age it no loner needs
anything but the will to survive. Ferns don’t need anyone
to pay attention to them, they just need food and water.
Plus, most women have the average intelligence of a cat.
Most men have the average intelligence of a fern. It’s
false though because a cat really doesn’t care what a fern
thinks of it.
All that I’m saying is that he keeps trying to take
things to their logical conclusion, and, as he says
himself, women have no logical conclusion. You can’t
figure out women logically because they are so far
different from men that a man shouldn’t even bother. I
think women should try to figure men out. We’re not all
that complicated.
You know what men think about when we go
somewhere? Nothin. You know what we talk about when we
talk to each other? Nothin. We are a simple creature.
Like I said, we’re like a fern. All we need is a little
food, (steaks) a little water, (alcohol) and a little
sunlight (sex), and we are all yours.
Just don’t expect too much out of a fern.
