^This is the biggest reason I can’t wait to get a house. Homestead, your complex is nice but your parking situation is shit and so is your management. 

Life as of now:

>Working at Disneyland and Target, averaging about 50 hours per week which suits me fine I suppose. Target sucks but Disney is actually pretty cool.

>Not going to school at the moment, as I can no longer see the utility in obtaining a criminal justice degree, especially considering the time and money it would require. I’ll probably end up finishing my undergrad work later, as it’d just bug me to have units but no degree. As of now, however, I’m fine without. All a degree can get me is a slight pay raise in the fields I’m interested in.

>Girlfriend leaves the country for Malaysia on the 27th until September. That’s always a blast :-/

>Playing the public employment waiting game with Newport Beach and Orange Police Department. Currently, things are further along with Newport so we’ll see how that goes.

>Moving to Irvine in September of this year. It’s a long way off but I’m psyched. 

It almost bums me out that I haven’t been to a club in many months. Though I think the only type I’d be able to enjoy now would be the ones that play electronic music or 80’s pop stuff. I love hip-hop but what’s popular these days is garbage. Misogynistic, materialistic, and numbingly repetitive, it really is a shell of the real thing. Hip-hop is actually very similar to punk in some respects, and it’s curious to note that while punk effectively died, at least it wasn’t commercialized and packaged for the mainstream the way hip-hop was.

To give you an idea of my frustration, we can examine what was popular in the 90’s compared to what’s popular today. In 1995 Coolio came out with Gangsta’s Paradise, a rap that serves as a concise criticism to the dangerous ‘thug life’, but also of the artist’s (and people of his socio-economic setting) inability to escape it. Fast forward to today’s music, and all you need to read to know of our doom is the lyrics to Crank That Soulja Boy. Nicki Minaj’s lyrics are a gem as well.

It annoys me when women my age are of the opinion that men need to make the first move in a relationship scenario. Really makes me feel sorry for my single friends. This mindset is so much bs, for reasons I’ve outlined below.

1. This mindset is outdated. We’re trying to get equal rights for everyone, right? Making double standards is exactly how NOT to reach this goal. And that’s exactly what you’re doing when you believe that men need to take on an additional role that you see as unfit for women. This isn’t the 1950’s anymore, the poodle skirt can come off.

2. If you want something (a suitable mate, in this case), then why would you not take action to get it? This is a special kind of bullshit logic that I really can’t get my head around. It’d be like waiting for your ideal employer to contact you out of nowhere to set up an interview. On the flip side, I’ve heard from female friends that they, at times, actually put in much effort to get a guy’s attention. This does impress me to an extent, until I think about how it could be avoided through communicating your desires in a slightly more direct way. Why complain about how the guy you like isn’t picking up on the clues you leave, when you could just be more forward?

Rant over for now. Thanks for reading!

Israel joins the UN list of states that limit human rights.

This is good to hear. It’s time that people really start to understand all of the shit that Israel gets away with, especially in the Gaza Strip region. This is also a great example of what happens when religion is given too high a place in a modern society. 

It annoys me that there’s so many people bagging on the Kony movement. I understand that Invisible Children is a corrupt organization that doesn’t really give much in the way of charity to Central Africans, but that trivializes nothing about what Joseph Kony is doing. If people are genuinely trying to raise awareness about a huge human rights issue without any money or harm to others involved, then you are a douche for making fun of them.

CAN’T WAIT for summer now B-) awwwwwwwwwyeah.

Today a bird managed to shit on my head while I was riding my bike. This is not the first time this has happened, and it has astounded me each time. Birds are assholes. My NASA hat took the full force of the defecation, leaving me unscathed. Thank you NASA! If I hadn’t been wearing that hat I believe I would have received much shit to the eyeball, which would have given me pink eye/ aids/ other ungodly disease.
