Danger In The Schools

I read an article in Time today warning us of the newest dangerous hazard to the very lifes and souls of our poor under-protected schoolchildren. If you are a parent you had best drop whatever you were planning on doing after reading this and march straight up to your kids room and search it with a fine tooth comb, for their own good of course. Our innocently misguided youth have once again shown us sensible adults that kids need to be watched and monitored better and thanks to the high and mighty reactionist school systems for knowing the deadly better then us. This terrible evil from the 7th, er, maybe it was the 8th circle of hell itself has creeped under our very noses and it goes by the name of "Silly Bandz."

Don't think they sound so evil, just ask Jill Wolborsky, a fourth-grade teacher. She has the foresight to ban them in her classroom before the school finally dragged their feet into making them contraband and she fearfully and elegantly proclaimed their inncessant evil by stating, "It's a distraction." I say well said Jill, if that isn't a good enough reason to give in to the fear of Silly Bandz devouring our children's souls, then you must live in a world that is blind to the most simple and basic of common senses.

It makes me lament the struggle I personally had to endure as a schoolchild where teachers would borrow pocketknives off students when they had forgotten to bring theirs in with them that day. Being forced to witness students wearing all manner of clothing that was not a uniform, and the nearest metal detector was not even at the local courthouse, but all the way over at the county courthouse. How any of us managed to make it through school without dying from paranoia at the open freedoms our young and impressionable minds were forcibly exposed to I will never know.

Thank God that we have such outstanding protectors monitoring today's kids with high surveillance equipment, armed guards, daily searches, metal detectors around every hallway corner, roaming packs of dogs, titanium locks, high tension electrified barbed razor wire, automated gun turret guard towers surrounding the schools perimeter, and school administration staff who realize the importance of actively seeking out the latest threat to our kids well being which would prevent a normal upbringing instead of actually bothering with the whole process of actual education.

*sigh* if only I could have been born 30 years later and been allowed to have a proper school experience.

Suck On What !?!

While I'm not a girl who has the typical cliche lust for chocolate that so many others possess, I do still have the subconscious "turn of my head" or "hey! eye's up here" reaction of it catching my notice. Therefore this tasty number that combines two great tastes that you sure as hell hope taste great together when that shaft of hard candy slides in and out of your mouth had me licking my lips and softly moaning in anticipation. While it is not something you can find on just any street corner, such things are always available mail order due to the wonders of modern internet technology. If you think that this is what your lonely life is hollowly missing and will fill the void in your life that needs itched, drop on down to make the acquaintance of Chocolate Bacon Lollipops!. Or just hop right on into the back of my van *wink, wink*

Personally the Caffeinated Maple Bacon Lollipops are the ones who's thoughts of make my toes curl.

Apology

Sorry, I've been rather non-rantic lately. That is what happens when I spend too much time hidden away in the secret lair avoiding the world which tends to spark my anger. Hmmmm, maybe unemployment isn't such a bad thing after all.

Happy Birthday to Me

In honor of surviving this messed up world among you crazy humans for officially and exactly 36 years as of today, here is a birthday related video. I have recently gotten hooked on this guy, The Angry Video Game Nerd, and love his reviews of the old crappy video games. And he drinks and swears while playing them for his reviews which are 2 things I often also do myself. Plus he is also really cute.

Oh yes, he is hella cute, meow!

Zombie Loan

An old series I started rewatching that you can download here.

Michiru Kita is a special girl who possesses Shinigami Eyes, a power which allows her to see a person's nearness to their destined death by seeing a ring, invisible to normal people, around the person's neck. When a person is marked to die, a gray ring appears, which darkens over time. Once the ring turns completely black, the person dies. Chika Akatsuki and Shito Tachibana, two boys in her class, both have black rings around their necks, but to her surprise, they are not yet dead. It is revealed that after a tragic accident that was supposed to kill them both, the two boys made a deal with a secret loan office called the Zombie-Loan. In return for keeping them alive, the two have to hunt zombies for the loan office. When Michiru gets involved with them, she finds that her life has just become more complicated.

Life is boring & all I have been doing is watching anime and drinking (alternating cups of coffee then rum & rootbeer). Hmmmm, that actually makes life sound pretty damn good.
