uhh, hey wintry mix, how have you been?

it's crappily icy out (yes, i realize that crappily is probably not a word, nor was it used appropriately even if it was a word) and i'm sitting at word.

well, phooey. long time no see, mr. wintry mix.

most people aren't even here at work today, because here in PA when it snows/ices more than half an inch, suddenly road crews become brain damaged and can't clear the road, and people assume that they can't drive anywhere. which really, upon second thought, is probably better that way, because i've seen the way most people drive. and it's not very well. admittedly, the driving here far exceeds the low standards set by residents of both jersey and texas, but it's still sub par at best. just because you have an suv does not mean you can go 65 in 3 inches of snow/icy slush. assholes.

anyways, i'm just complaining to hear myself complain at this point. it's probably still 'wintry mix'-ing out which is far more depressing than straight up snow.

so yeah, im going to go make my hoops and yo yo magic box of gooeness say annoying phrases over and over to annoy the people that actually came to work today.

also, sidenote: i'm really digging the new two tongues album. im a sucker for catchy pop punk.

moo.

So Christopher and i went to the Farm Show on Saturday, and as always, it was the single greatest experience ever. Ok, maybe 'single greatest experience ever' is a little over the top, but words cannot express how much i love the Farm Show. Anyone reading this that's outside central Pennsylvania probably won't understand (actually, a lot of people here won't understand either), but that's beside the point.



I guess I really don't have a point, but if I did, it would be that everyone at some point in their life have a milkshake from the Farm Show and watch the baby duck slide and see the gigantic butter sculpture and the bunnies and the pony pulling and little kids sitting in tractor wheels twice as tall as they are just grinning their faces off. So hopefully, I'll be going at leeeeast 2 more times this week, or in other words, as many times as I can sucker people into going with me, haha. On the days I don't go, I'll just sit and watch PCN so i can watch mushroom judging. or the Farm Show fashion show. Because really, that's the most hilarious thing in the world.



...I can't believe I just had an entire entry solely about the Farm Show.



Who am I kidding? I'm surprised EVERY entry from me isn't dedicated to the Farm Show.

Go ahead and tell me what my future looks like.

I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray

Remember when I was sweet and unexplainable?
Nothing like this person, un-loveable.

dance, dance, christa paffgen!

i'm never really entirely sure what to write in here, as when i did it consistently (albeit for like 3 or 4 entries; big deal, i know) it was just me whining about some gross injustice i thought was being done to one or more people. or dogs.

...for the record, dogs > people.

it's raining and freezing on everything, which is depressing. i'd much rather have snow; that's actually do-able driving wise. good thing my dad just goes out and cleans my car if it snows/ices. i'm so spoiled. when i actually live on my own im probably just going to sit and cry during all bouts of inclement weather such as this. that or get a boy to do it for me, haha. good thing im not living in stereotype la la land or anything.

everyone here is coughing like they have the plague or TB or something worse. my office is a cesspool for every illness imaginable. so if i happen to catch any of the above illnesses and meet an untimely demise...it was nice knowing all...none of you who read this!

Bamboozled by the bamboozlers.

So I'm a little behind.

I watched Al Gore's glorified powerpoint-made-on-a-mac, An Inconvenient Truth, last night for the first time and now i'm terrified to drive my car for fear that i'll increase the CO2 levels drastically enough to melt Antarctica and drown 60 million people in India.

MY CARBON FOOTPRINT IS THE SIZE OF BIGFOOTS.

Ok, not really.

But the facts presented were rather frightening. However, what's more frightening is the way our elected leaders (namely Republicans and the W Administration) have tried to ignore and cover up the facts and bamboozle the American people into believing that it's all made up.

This being said, vote for Barack Obama.

Yeah, I know, that came outta nowhere.

Just watch the movie.

i hate people who blog.

This has turned into vent vent whine whine space.

...i love it.

I hate it when people judge things/concepts/people without fully comprehending what they're talking about. If you don't know all the facts, don't tell me how or what to think.

People who hate pit bulls just because they listen to myths propogated by other people who are uninformed don't make any sense to me. Just because there are cruel individuals who raise these dogs to be agressive and fight doesn't mean the whole breed should be condemned. In fact, what many people don't know is that pit bulls (american pit bull terriors) as a breed tested better than even golden retrievers and beagles in temperment tests. (don't believe me? check http://www.atts.org/statistics.html)

I dont think that you would like it very much if a family member of yours turned out to be the next charles manson and everyone assumed that you too were a serial killer undeserving of their time. The majority of the time, these dogs that exhibit aggressive behavior are raised in the most hostile environment possible, and have only one choice; to fight or die. One of the pit bulls seized in the now infamous Michael Vick case is now being used as a therapy dog and is regularly taken into nursing homes and hospitals because of its sweet and docile temperment.

If you ask me, it's a disgrace that people promoting dog fights have given this breed such a bad name.

Give the dogs a chance to prove stereotypes wrong.

Lost in the Sound of...Suckiness?

I'm not always that bitter.

However, the new Underoath is awful.
I can't say that I was expecting greatness, or even for it to be good, but as musicians, they should be ashamed of themselves. Making squealy distorted feedback sounds with your guitar for half a song is not music.

It's noise.

I still think They're Only Chasing Safety is great; i don't care what anyone says. However, I also like Kelly Clarkson, so my taste in music is questionable and everything I say should be taken with a grain of salt.
