i like dogs. i like being with them and trying to understand them. they are pretty easy, because they are animals with small brains. sometimes they surprise me, but usually they just eat and poop and love to love. but they are so innocent and i don’t think any animal deserves the treatment of being in a sort of domesticated slavery like what we humans have created for our canine friends. i see bums walking around with mangy mutts and they look like the happiest dogs on the planet. sure, they may not get a constant stream of food or regular grooming, but they get to roam with their bum friends and to them, that has got to be better than being locked in a house or backyard.

we went to a college hockey game downtown tonight. it was fun. i wish people could calm down their fervent team spirit, though. things like booing the other team or chanting that the other team sucks just go too far, in my opinion. i know my civilized dream world will never come to fruition, but i still remain hopeful.

it took 6 months of waiting and 1 day of getting motivated. that’s right, i’ve been admitted to the university. finally. i started to think they didn’t want me (want my money, that is). but i knew when they saw my 3.91 gpa, they wouldn’t be able to say “no.” it feels good to get that small hurdle out of the way.

just when i thought things couldn’t get much better, i was awarded the fine distinction of “employee of the quarter” at my job. when i asked my boss what i did to deserve this title, he said that i show up on time and actually work. so that’s all it takes? just find a job where everyone you work with does the absolute bare minimum and you’ll be a top employee also. in fact, you’ll be so highly regarded, that you’ll always get more hours than most of your co-workers, even if you don’t want said hours, because you’d rather be working on homework to maintain good grades.

lastly, our honeymoon plans are finally in order. unfortunately, we couldn’t justify spending the amount of money to take a cruise. and really, it was the airfare to get to the cruise ports in florida that killed the idea. too many people fly around spring break. so instead, we decided to each pick something to do and do it. so we are renting a car for a week and driving to disneyland and then vegas. it will be the perfect balance of innocence and naughtiness. that’s right, from mickey mouse to carrot top. here we come, baby!

the news has been roaring about a segment of porn cut into the local super bowl cable broadcast on sunday. it’s quite funny, and way better than the janet jackson incident. this was full-on schlong flapping greatness. the poor people who are taught to hate/fear sex are outraged, i’m sure. especially, since now they actually have to address the issue with their children who saw it. everyone else finds it amusing. some people even thought it was some sort of commercial where the girl was going to pull a can of pepsi out of the guy’s pants. the cable company is giving $10 to ever person who claims to have seen it. it is precisely this kind of reaction why someone would even do this in the first place.
