Here are just a few things I've been wondering today:
1) Why is it that the producers of Doctor Who couldn't get a better animation team than the people that created Reboot way back when to do the latest Doctor Who cartoon adventure? (By the way, their writing of American vernacular is just as horrible as our attempts at British lingo, so don't worry so much about doing them injustice. We're all making the same, understandable mistakes...)
2) Do you remember when Tootsie Pop's slogan was "How many licks does it take to the center of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know..."? Well, did you notice that, eventually, those commercials had numbers in the top corner that told you how many licks it took for some people to get to the center of said Tootsie Pops? Well, I guess the world knows now. Hope they had another slogan in their arsenal after that one. Oh, wait, I haven't seen a Tootsie Pop commercial since...nice going, Tootsie Pop advertising guys.What may the world never know now?
3) Why in the world--someone tell me, please--have our morals gone so horribly downhill? I acknowledge that, perhaps, feminism has killed the chivalry that provokes men to dress up in armor and battle dragons for the sake of a maiden's favor, but a little common courtesy should have survived. If the door you're walking through is going to slam in someone's face, hold it for just a second more, and, sure, treat women with a little respect-laden chivalry by paying for the movie and making her feel secure.
I'd already been on an internal rampage about this subject this week, and then, to top it all off, a few nights ago I heard some people I know talking about how they should get a friend of mine whose girlfriend is away to sleep with them because he's too uptight. And I do know that they would give me all the statistics of how that sort of thing is a tension reliever--the same stupid excuse drug and alcohol users also give, but guess what? I am very easily stressed, and I'm not nearly as easily stressed as other people, but we deal with it. We do yoga, or find a creative outlet (such as, let's say, blogging) to vent our frustrations, and we take control of the situation until we resolve it. I know I could get verbally assaulted by a dozen politically correct wackos nowadays for saying this, but it's my right to free speech, while I still have it, and I'm going to use it: Using drugs, alcohol, and sex as a crutch is a VASTLY definitive sign of WEAKNESS. Also, it is most certainly NOT okay when people have "recreational sex" with different and random people every night. I don't care who told you so. You should respect yourself enough to make something that you do for it's "romantic" qualities stay "romantic".
And do you know what else? The fact that men are "more animal-like" than women is absolutely no excuse at all, though I've heard it plenty of times. I have news for you guys who believe and use that pathetic excuse for your lack of self-control: Somehow, it is scientifically proven that women think about doing the deed more than men do, and we still find it perfectly possible to contain ourselves...or at least we used to, until threesomes became the most popular 25th anniversary gift for married couples (yes, I read that somewhere, and I am so impossibly ticked off). So what makes you guys in this Animal category so weak that you can't keep it to yourselves? I have two friends that were forced to end relationships this year over sexual pressure that they were strong enough to refuse (you go, girls!), but they really liked the guys, and it was a shame see the fun they had hanging out end just because these guys couldn't get over the fact that we're not a race of monkeys whose only purpose in life is to reproduce. If you can't handle being with a girl and respecting her as a person without having to "get her in bed", then you might want to think about how to become a bit more of a man, because you're certainly not man enough to be with a girl of that quality.
To those of you out there who are mature and kind enough to respect other people, thank you, thank you, thank you very much. I can't wait for you to find the girls that are good enough for you. Please do look for them, because they are desperately looking for you, too. Distance and time are a pain, but once you overcome them, you'll be glad you waited and searched. I promise you that.
4) Is the whole "Geronimo" catch phrase going to get really old, really fast in the new season of Doctor Who with Matt Smith, who already has points against him for having no visible eyebrows and not being David Tennant? AH! The world may never know!!! :)
