2131. Some Thoughts

I got thoughts, yo.

Some Thoughts:

  1. The fact that Amy Robach is older than me is a fracking travesty. She’s beautiful and looks like a thirty year old, which makes me feel sickeningly old at this very moment. I only first saw her when I was watching her interview with Carrie Fisher on GMA. Now that Carrie chick is more than half-crazy. Yet I love her so.
  2. Physical attractiveness is a huge part of the newscaster life. You gotta be someone people want to look at–if you’re a lady that is. The dudes seem to get hired simply because…
  3. Remember GJ-1132b. Many scientists tout it as the best chance to find life outside of our solar system…
  4. Also remember Garett Swasey who was recently buried. He died defending the people of a Planned Parenthood clinic that came under terrorist attack (not the muslim variety. The other sociopolitical variety). A lot of people, including myself, give police crap for the bad ones. He wasn’t one of the bad ones.
  5. Now to the local police of my tiny little town: Stop pulling me over. Stop following me. Stop acting like it is random. It isn’t. Just in case you were wondering, I’m not a thug.
  6. HTC’s new commercial with echoes of Orwell’s 1984 is trying very hard to draw allusions to some very powerful ideas and imagery but doing so in a juvenile way. Senseless parkour moments and overreaching–especially at the end when all of this high drama boils down to getting a pretty girl’s attention. Weak sauce, HTC.
  7. Also weak sauce Dodge. Even my kids noticed how terrible the wordplay was on your ‘The Dodge Side’ commercial. No. Just no. I hate the rampant commercialization of Star Wars with a end cap in every store and commercials everywhere. Yes, the show is a cultural touchstone, but does every touchstone have to be corrupted by capitalism?
  8. Clemson v. UNC came down to one of two things: a ref on the take or a ref who wasn’t doing his job very well. He called a phantom offsides call that cost UNC an onside kick recovery and, as a result, the game. Now what made it ever better was hat the offsides wasn’t even called on a particular player and upon review, nobody on the UNC side was even close to being offsides. That reeks of suspicion. It also isn’t the first time this season a game in that conference ends on a bad call.
  9. Dealing with a broken finger still. I thought it was just a sprain, but that seems less and less likely. I wish I could heal like a 20 yr old again.
