News, Life in a Flash

Updates and various things I haven't been blogging about due to excessive studying.

• I turned my AC on for the first time in a while. Yeah, it's hot in here, but I still suffer through the sweatiness. And trust me, I'm a sweaty guy.
• Blog Saves Life In Egypt It's just like those sketchy Egyptians to lock an American up and deprive him of due process. But a blog saved his life. He sent a text to the blog (how the hell does that work?) and word got out and he was released three days later. Unfortunately, his translator has disappeared. Figures. I lived with an Egyptian for a while and he was kind of dirty. When I was doing all of those dirty dishes I felt like I was deprived of due process.....
• Something bad is going to happen to Brett Favre Maybe he's retired, but getting the Madden cover has never been a good thing. Ask Shaun Alexander. The guy doesn't even have a job anymore. So yeah, not only will Favre never come back to the NFL, he'll lose all his money and his Wrangler jeans will now render him infertile. Way to go Brett. At least you saved some poor NFL sap his career.
• Can I Dip My Curly Fries into a Milk Shake? Now I don't advocate this type of behavior, but who am I to tell someone not to do something that (a) is completely and utterly disgusting and repulsive to my existence, and (b) symbolizes American values. So anyway, yeah, Arby's just bought Wendy's. Weird huh? Always figured that it would be the other way around. But somehow, Arby's five for five (.99) must have earned them some extra revenue. On a side note, I like both restaurants, although one almost always makes me sick (cough, cough, WENDYS). And their finger infested chili is overrated. I'll always have a soft spot for Arby's. Although I hated the roast beef when I was a kid, it's the bomb now. Plus they were the first ones I knew who served curly fries (!) And they have a ton of variations on potato foods. Loaded potato bites, potato wedges, the classic french fry....actually now that I think about it, way to go Arby's.
  
• NY is Still Employing Retarded / Racist Cops RIP Sean Bell. Almost two years ago, Bell was shot by the NYPD on the night of his bachelor party. Only he was shot (or shot at) FIFTY TIMES. How messed up is the NYPD? And their excuse? They suspected that someone in Bell's party had a gun. SUSPECTED. One officer Cocksucker fired at Bell 31 times. Um...last I checked, handguns don't hold 31 bullets, meaning he had to reload. Now I've been following the story for a while now, and I don't remember the details, but I'm almost positive that no one in Bell's group fired back. I don't think they even found a gun. If I recall (and I may be wrong) there was something to do with a car and the police claiming it was being used as a weapon. Regardless of the details, an officer, unless involved in a fire fight, should never, under any circumstance fire 31 shots at anyone. This is complete crap and just another reason on the growing list of why to Hate NY. Oh, did I mention Bell was black?
• The World May Be Nearing the End Here's the scenario. Interpol warns about possible Al Qaeda attack. Al Qaeda attacks Chinese Olympics. Chinese retaliate via nuclear weapons because they don't care what the world thinks and the U.S. is in their pocket because of the horrendous amounts of money we borrow annually (thanks Iraq war!). The U.S. does God-knows what because we're essentially retarded in foreign relations. The anti-Christ rises (figures, he's Chinese). All hell breaks loose. Apocalypse. I repent. World ends. I'm bummed that I didn't get to become a lawyer.
