Oh my weirdo

Since I have commented previously about having problems finding news that interests me enough to have some sort of opinion my professor gave me a link to some alternative news sources. As I am scrolling through http://obscurestore.com I run across a story that I honestly stopped dead in my skimming tracks to read, Car wash sex act humiliated Saginaw, judge tells defendant. So I read because well I think it's obviously why I read it. Anyway so this guy in Michigan was pleasuring himself at a car wash with the vacuum cleaner and now he says that he cant go anywhere without people staring at him and he cant find a job. A police officer caught him in the act so he got a ticket for indecent exposure. OK well I would stare at you too if you used a car vacuum cleaner to pleasure yourself. Like he honestly expects people to take him seriously when he used a PUBLIC vacuum (you know to use on your carpets or seat, not your penis) to try and get off. I was honestly astonished, not only have I never heard of someone trying this but in a public place. You were begging to get caught. Was the 75 cent suck job really worth it?

Oh and I would also like to point out in the article that they give his home address, as if he isn't already paranoid of people staring at him.

Weather

To understand this post I feel that it would be beneficial to have been to Nebraska.  Lucky for us we get to experience all 4 seasons, and sometimes all in one day.  For example on Sunday or Monday we had fires, rain, hail, tornadoes, and blizzards all in one day.  Sounds weird right? Well it is.  I was surprised to be experiencing tornado watches in the area only to soon find out some tornadoes actually developed around the Lincoln area.  It all happens in Nebraska in a days span. Pictured I have the tornado that went through this area last year. It really is crazy how much the weather changes around here, perfectly nice one day and snowing the next.

Twilight

I will start by saying I am not one of the obsessed girls or women that think they can marry Edward Cullen and be ok with the fact that he is a vampire. Um really? I just never understood the fascination with the books. I barely have time to read for my classes let alone read three or four books about fantasy and vampires. Well anyways I got to witness first hand the obsession with Twilight when the video was released. My roommate had been talking about it for weeks and went the the midnight party thing at Wal Mart so she could have it first. Since the majority of the girls I know have read the books and are addicted in some way to wanting to be with a vampire I found myself disinterested in the idea of watching or reading the books. Maybe it is the vampires plot to make the human race more accepting of them so they can all come and suck our blood? Well I will be the one with the wooden stake or silver bullet to save myself.

Oh and for the record I think the actor that plays Edward Cullen looks way better in Harry Potter being a cocky wizard.

Blogging

Like I have stated in a previous blog, I started this blog as part of a class assignment. To say I was unhappy about it was an understatement because I had a misconception of what a blog can be. I had only viewed the blogs that are about others lives and how it is so hard and depressing so I pretty much decided I wasn't being that annoying emo blogger that hates life and just wants to share that with the world. So I guess if that is what you are expecting of this blog, nice try it's never going to happen. As I started actually diving into the blogging I realized I actually enjoyed it. I really liked that I was getting my news information and then turning it into a blog. I learned a lot but that brings me to today where I have fallen off the blogging bandwagon I guess. I need to start blogging more obviously but I think it has to do with the news. I hear the same stuff almost everyday and I am sick of it and therefore never have anything to blog about.

Serial Rapes in Kansas

Dreaming of the white sandy beaches of Mexico...no wait too dangerous this time with the increased drug wars and crime against students and tourists. Alright, well what about Chicago? As mentioned in a previous blog I just came back and I had a lot of fun but remember to never ride the L after 10...learned my lesson the creepy, hard way. Alright well what about Vegas?...there goes all my money I guarentee already. Ok well that leaves the safety of my own home here, well maybe not.
K-State authorities as well as KU authorities are urging their students to take precautions if staying on campus during Spring Break. Thirteen rapes during breaks have been reported at the two universities and are believed to be committed by the same rapist. The rapes ocurred at off campus housing each time and all happened during breaks. Kansas isn't far away so it seems weird that something like that happens so close to home. When I was a freshman a man raped a number of women on this campus (not sure the total because weird that we were never given the details) but anyway during Spring Break? If you stay close to campus you generally have a good reason whether it be work or whatever, not to be a victim of rape in an area you find so comforting. Looks like I will be keeping an extrea eye open in case he crosses state lines. Why cant Spring Break be fun and carefree anymore?

Out of here!

Despite the economic downfall I am leaving the state for a brief getaway. It is getting really old trying to look for jobs and seeing that everything offered requires at least 5 years experience. Well I don't have that so I am getting out of town for a much needed break! So where to go that wont break the bank? CHICAGO! I am legitimately excited since I would love to move there soon but mainly just for a little something different than the monotony of school and work.So next blog will be about my fun times haha, get ready :)

Drug Use

I love the show Intervention. Learning about drugs and the "drug years" is something I find really interesting. Well if you haven't heard of intervention it is a show that follows an addict and then the family plans an intervention to get the drug user to rehab. One of the worst (but most interesting) episodes I ever saw was about a girl named Allison. She was addicting to huffing, which I honestly never saw as a bad addiction. I heard when I was younger about huffing into like a bag or something with spray paint but Allison huffed computer duster. So to my surprise after watching the episode of Intervention like months ago I hear about Ashley Page. She was huffing while driving and passed out. I seriously couldn't believe it, like when TV comes to life.

Parking

Our assignment was to blog about campus parking.

I am going to start by saying I don't have any problem with parking. I think we have a lot of parking available to students, you have to walk a block but not bad at all. I have heard a lot of students wanting to have a parking garage but then all that we will hear is how expensive it is. I live right off campus and so I walk to all classes and I walk further than most students who park in "BFE" have to walk. I just really don't have much to say about parking since I think the location is fine and it is affordable for a pass.
