The Mount Royal University appears to be hosting an event at their on-campus drinking establishment. The event? "Tight, Bright & White."
Am I a bad person to think that sounds like a really good party?
Oh! You mean close friendship, festive decor, and winter season precipitate!
.... yeah, that's what I thought you meant too. Sounds... sounds like a good party.

David Hume Can Suck, comma, a Dick.
It has come to my attention that the creators of Malcolm in the Middle have based one of their characters on one of the most noteworthy philosophers of the last half millennium.
Though one might not see the obvious resemblance of David Hume in the popular sit-com character Stevie, it is clear that the dialogue of the character was modelled after Hume's own work.
Here's an example:
Skip to 3:50 to hear how I read Hume in my head.

Hence we may discover the reason, why no philosopher, who is rational and modest, has pretended to assign the ultimate cause of any natural operation, or to show distinctly the action of that power, which produces any single effect in the universe. It is confessed, that the utmost effort of human reason is, to reduce the principles, productive of natural phenomena, to a greater simplicity, and to resolve the many particular effects into a few general cases, by means of reasoning from analogy, experience, and observation.That has twice as many commas as necessary. They don't even make sense! It's like he puts in a comma to breathe.

The Ironing
I recently wrote a blog post about stealing and being a bad person.
The night that I wrote that I had a thousand dollars stolen from my bank account.

Two Wrongs Make A Right
Dear Blog,
It has been said that the best way for a man to live is to be true to himself. Well, blog, I am a bastard; a complete and total bastard. I lie and cheat, and to add to my repertoire of evil I want ever so dearly to steal. What's more is that I want to revoke the righteousness of another as much as I want invoke the impurity of another. I feel as though I want to taint that which is near me. But at the same time I feel evangelical about it; as if the wicked is the truth and from it breeds sense and balance. It's as if I want to corrupt people with the life I know to be true.
I've done it before, too. I've incurred trust, both sexually and emotionally, to those who (at least have told me) hold it so dear that they would never think to give it to anyone. Perhaps I am a thief in that respect. But to me that trust is a virtue that I want to make grow. I want her to see that love is the greatest thing that anyone can ever ask for in life and that it can be trusted in me. I want her to trust that I would cater to her every desire.
I want her to trust that under all the deceit, under all the malicious thoughts, under all the vices, under all the evil that is founded to my very core; I want her to trust that loyalty is the virtue common among the wicked and the righteous, if she only cares to have it.

Response to "No News is Good News"
I was going to respond in the comments, but it started getting so lengthy that I think it will make a better post than a comment.
I didn't really know what to tag it with. It's nothing serious, though. Just the same old shit. Though through this experience I believe I have some insight on what it might be like to be mentally challenged. I always wondered what it would feel like to know that you have a mental disorder. How do you deal with it? How do you respond when something triggers it? Can't you control it if you know it's going to happen? It's really the strangest feeling.
It's like taking a giant step in understanding the meaning of life. It actually reminds me of Donnie Darko now that I really think about it.
We all have a path, "God's channel" as Donnie puts it. We can manipulate the events that occur as long as we follow this destined path.
I guess there's just really no point in fighting it.

No News is Good News
Because everything truly newsworthy is always bad. You never stumble onto something that you get really excited about. I don't, at least. I always get bummed out when I read something new.
Maybe I'm just a fucking lousy poker player, betting more on a lost cause, and this blog is the like the camera under the table that shows all my cards. I have a good hand, but I'm never going to win. So I don't know why I keep playing this stupid game when all I ever get is bad news.
Come December I'm going to think that things will turn around; something might go my way. It's not, and I know it's not. But I'm going to fall for it anyway because, well, I'm a fucking retard sometimes. A classic fool.

English
"Charged with sexual battery" can so easily be misread as "charged with a sexual battery."
We need some new words up in this bitch.
