Have You Ever Felt

Like this?

That's how I used to feel in Las Vegas, and since I've been in Reno, that feeling has gone away. In the first time in I don't know how many months, maybe even years, I am truly happy. You know the Incubus song "Wish You Were Here", that song, minus missing someone. I mean I do miss my Vegas friends, but I'm making a lot of new friends here, who offer me intellectual stimulation (no where near the level of Nessa though, we were basically cut from the same cloth).

So as I sit in my dorm room listening to my Zune player on random. An old school No Doubt song is on, and I'm in a groove. When I say old school, i mean from their first album, and the song is sinking. SO AWESOME. This is AWESOME (I know, i use the word to much).



Reno is such a quaint place, and I absolutely love it. Down Virginia St. there is a free transit bus also. I rode that shit down Virginia, to down town or the Reno Strip. I just ran (exercise for the soul, more so than the body.)



I had to post a picture of the sign during the day time, because that's how I usually see it. Fuck going down there at night, I am a little scared. HAHAH me, the fucking Vegas kid that I am, who fucking walks down the strip fucked up on drugs and alcohol. I'M afraid of the Reno strip. Actually I usually tend to be more afraid when there's less people around, then your screams can't be heard.


This is a statue outside of the Mackay Mining School. I love it, it struck me for some odd reason and I can't really put my finger on it. There stands a man, dressed as a simple miner, a hardworking man who had to break a sweat for his fortune. That's what America was about, hard working people. We've turned into such a nation of lazy people, and yes, I'm a hypocrite.


Of course I had to post a picture of something that is on campus and actually has to do with my major and shit. If you didn't already know I'm a Political Science major or PoliSci for short. I plan on getting a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and I'm minoring in French. I plan on doing all of this within 3 years and then heading to California (UC Berkeley, or Standford) for Law School (another 3 years of education). I want to be a politician. I'll be like Obama, but way better. See I think the problem with politicians today is they won't realize that party platform is bullshit. Republicans and Democrats have swapped viewpoints many times during the formation of the bi-partisan system. What's worse is this government basically runs on a bi-partisan system. Its like high school, the Democrats are the Student Council kids and the Republicans are the jocks, and independents are outcasts. I may primarily be a "Democrat" but deep down inside I'm a Republicrat. I have many Republican values, not when it comes to business though (NAFTA, and CAFTA, and fuck all the democrats that voted for that shit)

Basically the theme of this blog is, that I finally feel like I'm doing something with my life. Not to mention, I don't know, I don't even want to talk about it. BUT NESSA KNOWS. It's so very hard now, SO VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH IT. I feel like a serial rapist every time I'm stuck in a situation with a statue. :[ IT'S SO BAD :[
BUT i'm still happy. There's a time for everything and that will eventually happen to. I will actually be happy if it happens later than sooner.

Me Again Random Stuff I'm Thinking About

I won't lie, I'm pretty intimidated by life right now. I love who I am, and where I'm going but there are a couple things in my life that I'm really not happy about. There's a plethora of silver and hardly any gold, and barely any platinum.

Deep down inside every girl wants a 1940s movie romance, or a 1990s indie actors romance (Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix). The whole leg lift thing, that's cute, we're not expecting that.

I love the New Millenium? Too soon? Yes. Did I dvr it anyway? Yes. Have I sat through it? No.

Ultimate Fighter: Biggest travisty of my life. CB ALL THE WAY. I honestly can't be that mad though since Amir is a good fighter, he just has a tendency to get the shit beat out of him and then pull of impressive arm bars and shit. Meh.

Creepy stalkers. Need to get a life, really tired of them.

My nails, currently really long and really coming in handy,. I really hate having short nails and I really feel naked without long nails.

So You Think You Can Dance: I do not have a clear favorite yet, but keep on that black guy that's partners with the fine ass red head. The one that they were all calling a genius. OH, wait keep on the couple that did breathe with no air song, and then did the broadway routine last week. They are phenomenal.

America's Got Talent: really angry at that four year old girl she made me cry, and I was so inspired :/
I'm somewhat of a cry whore, on father's day I watched a movie specifically because I knew I would cry my eyes out. Oh well, it's also why I love Grey's Anatomy so much,.

Alanis Morrisette needs to stop eating. BUT...! I would be fat too, because Ryan Reynolds = fine (not as fine as Jason Rudd, Dennis Leary or David Duchovny , even though Ryan Reynolds isn't middle aged he's getting up there in years) ScarJO = love her, she's delicious, she can sing, she can act, Woody likes her and I like her. She's GOT TITS! She's perfect. Eating is the least of Alanis' worries :[

Marijuana needs to be legalized because prescription pain killers are synthetic heroine. Alcohol is worse for your liver, and smoking cigarettes will kill you. You don't even have to smoke weed to get the medicinal value from it, you can cook it and you can vaporize it. More importantly you can make hemp from it, and hemp is stronger than cotton and it's cheaper to make. Its too bad that the United States has dumped hemp and marijuana together I mean they may be the same plant but they are two different things. Hemp plants are usually low in thc and are grown to make fabric, paper, plastic, literally the possibilities are endless with it. Medicinal plants have to be high in thc usually 15-25 percent thc content. So if one is basically schwag but can make a cheaper alternative to synthetic fibers, and the other is meant to alter your brain, why is hemp not being considered?

On that note , goodnight.

Felons

Someone give me a convincing article about why felons shouldn't be able to vote. I think it's ridiculous actually, I think if you are not in prison, you should have the right to vote. Yes, If someone commits a felony than they make wrong decisions. But, if and when that person gets out jail they still have to live with the choices made by the rest of their city/state/country. Most ex-convicts don't have money, the majority the of the ex-convicts are democratic (I heard this on cnn, so who actually knows I question it because although the poor and minorities usually swing democratic there are probably areas of the United States where convicts are more like NRA gunslingers (haha a joke). I just honestly think voting isn't a privilege, it's a right. The reason why I believe that is simply living in America and reading American history, women fought to vote, blacks fought to vote. When they were fighting they weren't saying "give me my privilege". Then again the right to vote usualy comes along with the right to freedom, men who have commited felonies, obviously gave up their right to freedom, so why not their right to vote. The idea of anyone who is not able to vote sickens me, maybe I'm too liberal on this matter. I just don't think that a felon who is giving only 2 (maybe 3) options on a ballot could seriously ruin the world. UNLESS all the ex convicts decided to get together who live in Florida and not fully punch in who they wanted. for the presidency DAMN YOU CHADS!
