I don't really have anything of interest to discuss.  Really, I'm just sick of that damned hockey post being the first and foremost.  Thus, I'll take this opportunity to add photos and discuss my growth via xanga!  Perhaps that bores you, but it is your choice to read.

I had to edit my profile description.  Much of it had not been changed since I started here in 2004 - those 6 years certainly have harbored much change.  Hell, the past year alone has.  I'm not at liberty to discuss that, but in other news, my old internet persona really was less.... great than it is now.  I don't know if great is the best word for this, but the things I had to change...  They were numerous.  It shames me to know those things were being associated with me.
I used to use xanga as a social networking sort of device.  My friends and I would post at length, then read and comment on eachothers' posts.  I'm sure most people used xanga like this at first.  Eventually, this faded out and facebook faded in.  So I forgot about the site for a while.  Then I got an invitation to dating-ish and mancouch.  These blogs are generally terrible, but I was interested anyway.  I always enjoy seeing what notions people have.  Often, I am happy to discover that people are on my side in thinking the articles are riddled with stereotypes and a lack of common sense.  At any rate, I'm back here and had to do a lot of alterations to my page.

So, here it is now.  Some descriptions are 6 years old and others, mere minutes.  Isn't the internet amazing?  To think, I've been here before youtube.  I can't even comprehend that, really.

I will now pose to you a question I've been considering for some time now.

Setting: April Fools Day, location of choice.
Scenario: You, getting your arm chopped off.
Reaction? Everyone thinks it's fake long enough to delay your arm's attachability!

 

Ok, maybe that's a bit extreme, but don't you think it happens?  I think accidents are probably more deadly on April 1st, at least in the reaction to them.  Don't you agree?  A sample conversation:

Tom: *is making a smoothie and sticks a spoon in there, subsequently blasting the spoon back and striking his eye*  AHH my eye!?!!(@!*&#%
George: haha whatever dude
Tom: Seriously!  I'm bleeding!
George: I told you you weren't going to get me like you did last year

And the scenario continues!  Don't you think it's plausible?  I do.

 This is what I said to Campbell's:

It has come to my attention that the quality of SpaghettiOs is in a downward spiral of the worst kind.  Now, I have been eating SpaghettiOs for a long time (I'm 20).  After I first noticed this decline in quality, I said, "come on now, Campbell's!  That must've just been a bad can/ a fluke new idea.  They'll pull it together!"  But no - across variety and time, your "improvements" have continually degraded the quality of the SpaghettiO name.  The soup is watery and gross.  I know, I know - there's a growning health concern from parents, but really?  Do you have to take out that much quality?  I much prefer, MUCH prefer, the taste of the off-brand spaghettiOs.  Even when SpaghettiOs are on sale, I rarely buy them unless giving them another chance at tasting good (which they never do now).  So, I suggest you thicken up your tomato soup and get back that old tasty flavor that I remember as SpaghettiOs - If you forgot how to make them like that, try the Meijer brand - it's delicious.

Why did I say this?  Because it's true.  SpaghettiOs think that they have to be "Rich in Calcium!"  Uhh, No...  That's not the idea.  Feed your kids some milk if they need that, dumb parents.  Be true to your quality taste!

 

(Might I add, original my ass)

In my search for the photo shown here, I found this site, which is rather funny: http://www.commercialsihate.com/print/

That's all I have to say right now.
