Second, the latest cool thing is wearing your hat ANY way other than straight forward or straight backward. I have noticed about 80 percent of the students at UM, and I assume this statistic is valid for the other 10 big ten campuses(the fact that there is actually 11 schools in the big ten also pisses me off), 80 percent of the students where their caps in any of the following ways: tipped upwars and to the side, completely to the side, backwards oversized and to the side, either backward or forward, or just tipped slightly off center, etc, etc. It looks SO stupid and it pisses me off for some reason. There are so many tools on this campus and they all were their hats like that and I was on my way to class tonight and I saw a guy talking to a group of people and he was acting like a total jackass and had his hat on backwards and to the side and for some reason it made me really angry...like angry as hell to be a member of a generation comprised primarily of total tools and asswads that are total phonies and, to use a more descriptive word...shiteaters.
Halo: Totally fuckin out of control...everyone plays this game and I don't understand why. I've played Halo on the computer and on XBOX and it's fun for like 30 minutes at a time, but there are people who play it for hours on end...and they don't stop. However, I have noticed no correlation between idiot hat wearers and Halo players so I have no problem with the people, just the obsession with the game.
Poker: Ever since ESPN started showing the world series of poker, everyone has been obsessed with starting texas holdem poker tournaments. I used to hang out with some of the football assholes from Prospect and they would do nothing but sit in a garage for four hours and have a huge tournament. Those nights I would end up leaving and go over to Grooms' house where we would do something more creative and productive, like give melas park a lawnjob or light something on fire. Maybe it's that I derive very little pleasure from gambling or that I thinks cards are a primitive form of entertainment, but I officially label poker as out of fucking control.
Jimmy Johns: I can understand why people would enjoy eating McDonald's, White Castle, Subway etc, cuz I enjoy eating them at certain times. But let's be honest...Jimmy Johns sucks ass. The bread is shit and their bacon tasts like it was cured up my ass for 3 weeks. It's not even good when your slightly drunk, infact it's depressing as hell. But everyone has a huge boner for Jimmy Johns because 'it's cheap.' I can charge you ten cents to eat my own feces, but does that mean it's good...hell no! I'm asking everyone to boycott Jimmy John's, because it is officially out of fucking control.
Stupid people: I used to think that most people in this country were pretty stupid, but now it's a fact. The average IQ of Mississippi is 85....let me repeat myself: The average IQ of Mississippi is 85. That's an average which means there are a number of Mississippi residents that have IQs lower than 85. This country is literally retarded, no wonder we re-elected Bush. Stupidity is out of control.
Piston's fans: For the 98% of the country that has forgotten there is a National Basketball Association, supposedly a team called the Detroit Piston won the national championship last year. Obviously everyone around Detroit is freaking out about this team to repeat a championship. Whereas I do praise the Pistons for their ability to play as a team(because they are not a collection of thugs who never went to college like the Lakers) nobody's gonna care if they win again. I hardly knew they won last year and I would say I follow sports very closely. Out of control.
Lacrosse: I don't know if I spelled it right but who the hell cares. In fact who the hell cares about this stupid sport anyway. Honestly, I had only heard of it like once or twice before coming here to UM and I guess it's big in the east coast. For those of you who don't know about this sport: It's basically hockey(which sucks by itself) but insted of having the skill element of skating you run around a field with a net on a stick and try to put a tiny ball in a goal. To me it seems like a sport that someone would play only because they wanted to be unique or because they sucked at everything else. They choose to be lacrosse assholes because it seems cool. I guess I would have to give some of my respect to these people if I actually saw them playing a real game of lacrosse, but all I have seen are a bunch of people at Palmer field(and sometimes in the hallways at Markley) just playing catch with their little net on a stick. In fact I don't even think they can play the game. OUT OF CONTROL.
Jesus Land: For those of you unfamiliar with the term, Jesus Land is the states that voted Bush in the election. I have absolutely no problem with someone who is religious, in fact I think using a religious text and following it to structure your life is perfectly normal. It's not for me, but i can understand why many people are religious. But when the republican party send DVDs to evangelical christians about John Kerry's evil agenda to give gay people rights and to continue stem cell research, that's rediculous. This election was decided because the evangelicals and born agains in Ohio turned out in record numbers to vote more or less to take away peoples rights(Gay marriage/Bush's conservative religious agenda). I thought this country was a democracy founded on equal rights. People have the right to express their beliefs on gay marriage, but have absolutely no right to tell those who don't believe those things what to do. It's ignorant and obviously this country has taken a huge step backwards. People in other countries HATE the US and having such a conservative stance on issues like abortion and gay marriage would have you exhiled from politics in countries like CANADA. Out of control.
