I've got Blogger.
Yes, I haven't posted in two weeks. I'm sorry to all my loyal fans. I'm no Shane Madej, and I never will be.
I decided I wanted this to be one of those random topics, neatly organized post. But first, a rant. (oh yeah, I'm back to form).
I've thought about this before, but I've never delved into it on the blog. You know what I'm sick of in college? The lack of chivalry (thanks to Joe's girlfriend, Katie [yes, that really is her name], for bringing this back to the forefront of my memory). For instance, one of my friends treats his "one could argue is his girlfriend" like crap...not that he treats her as less of a person, but he doesn't treat her like a girl, let alone a girlfriend. He doesn't walk her home, doesn't kiss her goodbye, doesn't speak lovingly to her, etc...at least around me. Now, things could be very different in private, but why alter things so much in public? PDAs have their limits, but there are also appropriate PDAs. (the italics are things I have added after being told I was in the doghouse).
On the other hand, she does little to demand his chivalry at times, as she's sometimes talking or acting inappropriately for a lady. As a rule, ladies should not discuss sexual things...period (no pun intended). They should also not talk about their grooming habits or quote rap lyrics or any other profanity. Keep in mind that she is not the only girl I know who does this. Many of our "liberalized" female compatriots have started to act in this manner, and it's quite distressing. I'm not saying women should be silent...but let's try to have some class.
Once again, to clarify, I am not just speaking of this one girl...I am speaking of many girls I have met in college.
This isn't a double standard: gentlemen should also not discuss these things in the presence of a lady. But in our collegiate environment, these concepts are forgotten. Our female friends are just like any of our other friends...rather, they should be seen on a higher plane...but they aren't.
Here's a very little thing...why do we college males not stand when a girl enters the room? Because we treat them as equals? I'm sorry, but I don't care about equality...they are females, therefore they deserve our doting...which means we stand. I don't care if she's your friend from high school or someone you just met...you stand. That's what our grandfathers and fathers would do...why should we let it die.
And ladies reading this blog...start to act like you're superior to us...don't stoop to the males' level and talk about disgusting things and use inappropriate language and burp in public...that is incredibly crude and unladylike.

Now, a few catcheruppers on my life:
- The musical went very well. The audience really liked it. I was never the detective or the murderer, but my friends came out in full force to pick me as the lover once, so i got my first kiss on stage, video-taped...it was quite enjoyable. But I'm glad to be done with that debaucherous cast.
- "Breakfast with Broadway" has become a staple on the station. They love it now, and are giving it more and more validity. We're starting cross-promoting with the theater department and continue to make alumni contacts. Also, I have a co-host who's great...knows 200% more about musicals than I do (yes, it's possible).
- I have 3 finals this week. I'm not sure how I'll do on them. But i'm not worried...but I'm not confident either.
- I did my first play-by-play for women's basketball saturday...I think I did a fairly decent job on it...but it wasn't recorded...neither was my only WBB color or my only men's baseball play-by-play, or any of my volleyball broadcasts...in short, there is no recording of my voice...it's a sign.
- Speaking of signs, what do you think about me entering the priesthood? Just wondering.
That's it for today. Talk to you later.
Cubs Update: They didn't get bloody Raphael Furcal...goodbye 2006.
