Hi-Tact

What is the fascination with cell phones? No matter where I am, it is without fail that I will catch someone yapping away on his/her precious cell phone. Seriously, how did people survive before cell phones? It's absurd. Do you have no other way to waste your money? What do you have to say during your fast-paced life of prattling that is so important that you simply must have a phone handy to inform others of some stupid incident that just occured? What's even more absurd is the tact of cell phone users. Did it not occur to you to turn off your phone while you're in a movie theater, or in class, or in a restaurant, or in any other place where it may not be appropriate? I can understand the convenience of having one, but for emergencies like when your car breaks down, etc. I absolutely love when I'm at working waiting on a customer, and s/he gets a call and tells me to "hold on a sec." Excuse me? I think you're phone call can wait a measly two minutes.

No Boys Allowed

Some women would say I am not a feminist because my armpits and legs are shaved, men urinating "uprightly" do not bother me, and my breasts are kept perky in a brassiere. But in the broadest sense of the word, I would still consider myself a feminist. Of the women that I know, many of them insist that men should still open the door for them, give up their seats so a "womyn" may sit, and follow the "ladies first" principle. After all that has been done during the women's suffragist movement, should we now set women back another hundred years because we are incapable of opening the doors ourselves or unable to stand if a seat is already occupied? Some women get outraged because there may be a club of some sort that is male only, although there are several groups that are blatantly "no boys allowed." This whole feminist outbreak is turning into an "anti-male" march!

Let Me Pee, Please

I wish people would leave me alone when I am trying to urinate in a restroom. I don't want to have a conversation with the person in the stall next to me while I take a piss. I do not care to hear the echo of someone deficating or pissing into the toilet in between bits of "How are you?" or "Nice weather we're having." Is it so much to ask to want to pee in peace?

Waifs On Diets

It is extremely irritating to hear skinny girls complain about being fat or chubby because 1) they're not and 2) no one cares.

Suck It Up

I loathe "political correctness." It's complete bull. People have become much too sensitive. No one can say anything because they might offend someone else. Should we now change the spelling of women to womyn to appease the radical feminists? Or change the title of a postman to postperson, or policeman to policeperson, because now we are reiterating some perpetual cycle of a fascist patriarchal society? This is absolutely insane! It's impossible to keep everyone happy all the time, so why try? Of course, one should use discretion and commonsense when voicing thoughts/opinions. For instance, it would be wise not to say, "Gays suck!" during a Gay Pride Parade, or "Football players are dumb jocks!" at a football game. Unless, of course, black and blue are your colors.

I'm Not Chinese!

A boy at my old high school called me a chink. Naturally, I was upset, though they are only words. It wasn't the fact that I was called a chink. It was the fact that I was called a chink and I'm not even Chinese. I'm half Korean. C'mon now; if you're going to make fun of me, do it correctly and get the nationality right.

Go Girl Power

I hate all those lame-ass teenie-bopper magazines. They preach about all this girl power crap and how they only care about the "stressed-out, femme teens' 'interests.'" Yeah, well, they sure are making quite a lot of profit out of these girls' interests. These magazines also go on and on about how an intellectual mind is much better than a pretty face or thin body (not that I disagree), but then on every single page, there's a gorgeous, anorexic, heroine-addict model. Can we say hypocrite? Girls these days are already messed up; they don't need some over-the-hill, trying-to-be-hip, wannabe-teenager editor making things worse.

Life Sucks

I had an epiphany about life. The dark side of humanity really disgusts me. That's pretty much all I see around me. Greed. Murder. Selfishness. Envy. Corruption. I hardly see what is so great about people. All I see is a bunch of monsters just striving for themselves. No one else is taken into consideration. People are so superficial and only want what's best for them. The stupid things people care about. Like their hair, or how thin or fat they are. Does it really matter? Am I the only one that realizes that there is so much more than...this?! Than whether or not you're cool, or thin, or fat, or pretty, or muscular, or rich, or poor?! Does it determine yourself as a person? Does it determine whether or not you have something to offer just because you may of lots of money or a gorgeous face? No! And I don't understand why people just don't realize this. I just hope there is more than this. I hope there's more to life than corruption, greed, anger, murder, envy, selfishness, and that I'm not the only one that feels this way.
