Crocs Need to Stop

Today, as my father and I were walking graciously into Kohl's department store, I noticed an unusual lady exiting. She was wearing a bright yellow shirt (as if that wasn't bad enough) and those stupid little "Croc" sandals to match. The Crocs were bright yellow as well. She matched Crocs with her shirt; I couldn't believe my eyes, and I was almost blinded. She looked so stupid. I mean, Crocs are dumb enough in the first place, but to go out of your way to buy some to match with your outfit? Come on! The sad thing is, this isn't the first encounter I have had with a matching-Croc-person. At Disneyland, my happiness was interrupted when I saw a guy wearing turquoise Crocs, and the same color t-shirt. Wow. Just wow. The funnier thing was that the girl with him was wearing turquoise-rimmed sunglasses that matched his outfit perfectly (it added to his stupid look). I have heard that Crocs are "so comfortable" and "so cheap," but that is no excuse to wear them; they make anybody wearing them look like a fool. I don't care who you are, comfort isn't worth looking THAT bad in public. They are made of the cheapest plastic shaped into a shoe with holes in it. Even Jesus sandals (or power sandals, tourist sandals, etc. (thats another post)) don't look as bad. I mean, even if the most gorgeous woman in the world was wearing Crocs, I would be concerned. Some people say, "Oh, I don't care what people think" or "I don't care what I look like to others." Well, you better start caring, because you look like a big idiot with them on, especially if you go out of your way to match them with your outfit. So stop it.

Internet Dependency

Oh man. Today, around 8 o'clock I was trying to post my blog and my internet was out! UGH! It was so annoying, and I felt so lost. That led me to a new post topic- the general population's dependency on internet. It's funny to think that a little more than 10 years ago the internet and "surfing the web" was a far-out fantasy idea that seemed too good to be true. Now, we just can't get enough. People are constantly on Facebook, checking email, Twittering, playing games, downloading music and watching pointless funny videos on YouTube. Don't get me wrong, all those things are great (except Twitter, lolha) ; it is awesome to think that a seemingly endless wealth of knowledge is a couple clicks away. However, it is funny to notice what happens when it goes out, like I said before. People have gotten so dependent on the internet that if it doesn't work, they go berserk, like lost puppies wandering the wilderness. Think about it: if you had to go without internet for a week (in your normal everyday life) would you be able to do it? It would be tough, huh? Heck, my little brother's laptop was broken (no interwebs) for a few weeks and he about died of boredom. Kinda sad in my opinion, but fun to watch. But thanks for taking the time to read my blog ON THE INTERNET ;)

Twit Twit Twitter

Doubtless you have all heard of Twitter- not quite a blog, but not a real networking site either. To me, it seems like a website network dedicated to only posting "Facebook statuses." Apparently, it is an internet sensation and all the celebrities have a Twitter account so you can follow what they are doing 24 / 7. It'll send text messages to your phone so you are constantly updated. Come on, people. As if celebrity magazines, like People and Star, and all the other hundreds of t.v. shows, articles and websites don't give people enough celebrity news, here comes Twitter. Now you can know exactly when your favorite stars are pooping on the toilet, taking out the trash or eating breakfast. It's just stupid. I think people need to get their own lives, instead of caring about celebrities so much; they aren't that big of a deal. And do you really think the celebrities are operating their own Twitter? I mean, some, maybe even a lot of them do, but I seriously think a secretary is hired to make up the stuff they're doing for them. I guess what I'm trying to say is more of a question about society: why does the general population feel important by scrutinizing every single detail about a celebrity's life? Do people feel semi-celebrity if they know all about the latest Branjelina or JLo gossip? I hope not. Twitter is just the example of how it has gone too far- make it stop.

Concert Tickets

Hey everyone. So I just thought I would send out some words of wisdom that I have learned lately. I regret to say that I learned the hard way. Okay, so about concerts: they are so much fun! You've probably been to some with your friends and had a great time. However, I want to talk about buying the concert tickets. Just a word of advice: NEVER BUY AN ODD NUMBER OF TICKETS. It will ruin your life. I made the mistake of buying too many tickets to a concert (so I would have to sell them), but bought a total of three. Big mistake. I should have just bought four because it's really easy to get an extra friend to go to a concert if needed. I mean, come on, they are awesome. An odd number makes it so tough to sell them; near impossible. I would have had them sold months ago if I had bought either two or four, but no, I decided to buy three. I am so stupid. So, just don't make the same mistake I did; you will hate yourself for it.

Crazy Drivers

Okay so this will probably be a recurring theme amongst my posts- people that just plain suck at driving. My friends were telling me some stories today, and they were pretty outrageous, and usually involved people talking on cell phones. Which brings me to a point: stop talking on cell phones and driving!!! It's illegal people, and usually the ones who do it are so dumb that they can't drive and talk at the same time. I mean, it's not that tough to drive in the first place, and neither is talking on the cell phone. I am amazed at how incompetent people get when you put the two together. I can drive and talk on the phone perfectly safely, and so can a bunch of my friends, but the majority of people can't I suppose. It's just sad that they had to institute a law in California about it. I am of the opinion that if you are a good driver, it doesn't matter if you are on your phone or not. Texting on the other hand, is totally a different story. That is dangerous, but I digress. Just watch out for fools and big idiots who can't drive; you're bound to see them everyday of your life. And if you ever see somebody swerving in their lane, or coming to a complete stop at a GREEN light, chances are they are on their cell phone.

Live Like It's Your Last

So nothing really important happened in my life today; I pretty much just hung around my house, which reminded me of the saying, "Live every day like it is your last." Well, sometimes that's just not possible. Or maybe it is, but people plan their lives out like they have a lot of time. If today was my last day, that would suck. I mean, you're supposed to go out with a bang, right? Have a super-awesome last day and all that? Well, I hope so. But think about it, if people actually lived by the saying "Live every day like it is your last" it would be hilarious. Nobody would work at their jobs, because hey, who wants to work on your last day of living? And besides, what good is money for the future going to do for you when you won't be able to spend it? Think about it, what would you do? I have no clue what I would do. I probably wouldn't do anything. Just like today.

Phobia of the Week

So, I heard of new phobia today, and I have to say that is both ridiculous and understandable at the same time, if that makes sense. Let me explain. First off, it is called: Caligynephobia, the FEAR OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. Haha. At first, it seems totally outlandish, but if you think about it, it is quite normal-ish. I mean, beautiful women are scary, I'm not going to lie to you people. They can get whatever they want with a smile, whether it be an open door, a free drink or some money. If the smile doesn't work, I'm almost 100% sure they can get ANYTHING they want if they show a boob. I'm sure a lot of guys out there can understand, if you see a beautiful girl at a party or anywhere, you pretty much assume she can get whatever she wants. The sad thing is, you probably wouldn't mind doing anything she asks. Beautiful girls have a power over guys that is super-human; I'm not surprised that a beautiful women committee hasn't banded together to take over the world yet, because I'm pretty sure they could do it. Which brings me to another reason: pretty girls are rarely thought to be guilty of anything because "how could a beautiful girl do something wrong?" People tend to be surprised if a hot girl is found guilty of a crime, and that is scary. So watch out for all those scary and gorgeous girls out there, and don't make fun of those timid guys, because there is a clinical reason for them to be scared (sadly). Side effects of beautiful women are drooling, daydreaming, staring, fantasizing, heart-attack and bladder failure.
