| So there's a sign on the third floor of Elrod Commons here at Washington & Lee University that says that x percentage of students surveyed said that being called "lesbian" or "gay" was the most hurtful form of sexual harassment that they had experienced in the past year. Or something similar to this.
So... I'm assuming none of these people were physically assaulted or groped or anything, because surely that would be more "hurtful" (or whatever the adjective was)? I mean, I don't want to turn this into a sticks and stones thing, but seriously? Being called gay was the worst harassment that happened to you? And it wasn't just like three people who got their feelings hurt, the percentage was higher than 50.
I dunno. That seems a bit silly to me. Perhaps the way the blurb was worded didn't really reflect the survey results properly.
Just wanted to share.

| I saw the movie Funny People tonight. Don't bash it before you see it. It's not what you expect at all. I'm not going to recap the movie because I want you to go see it.
I don't know how to react to it. There were some clichés subtly thrown in there that really got me thinking. What I will tell you is that it's like three or four plotlines thrown into one, so be prepared for that.
It makes you want to love everybody, but not like a sappy chick flick makes you want to love everybody. I don't know. I really feel sad, but can't pinpoint why.
Almost nothing that most of humanity deems as important is really important.
Let that one settle in for a while, then get back to me.

| Those are three things that I am always shocked have not gone extinct yet. You know what I mean?
Okay, first, chicken. Chick-fil-A sells millions of chicken biscuits and other chicken products on any given day. Not to mention all the dine-in restaurants like Ruby Tuesday's or Applebee's who serve fried chicken and grilled chicken every day.
So how have all the chickens not died out yet? Seriously. There is an unfathomable number of chickens in the world.
The same with alcohol. W&L is a small campus, and we consume a huge amount of alcohol every week. Not to mention major sporting events, such as the soccer match I was at tonight, serving beer to everyone who's not a minor.
So how have we not run out of alcohol yet? Seriously. There is an unfathomable amount of alcohol in the world.
The same with gasoline/oil. There are millions of cars in Atlanta or Washington DC alone. They're all commuting (Atlanta is not a small city) respectable distances. They're getting filled with gas at least once every two weeks. THAT IS A LOT OF GASOLINE.
So how have we not run out of oil yet? Seriously. There is an unfathomable amount of oil in the world.
So I was at the US men's soccer match tonight in Washington DC.
WHAT? HELL YES
It was amazing. Whoever says that Americans don't care about football clearly has never been to an international match with Sam's Army screaming and singing non-stop. The atmosphere was wonderful.
So Costa Rica was quick and lucky to put two on the board and carry a 2-0 lead into halftime. We did blow a lot of chances, we should have at least been level at halftime if not ahead. But no matter. We kept our heads in the game, had all the possession, and Jonathan Bornstein scored a header at the death to give us a 2-2 draw in the end. But like I said, we were unlucky not to win by a score of 5-2 or so. It really was a fantastic match. Very frustrating before we scored, because we were really dominating the game. But absolutely worth every dollar.
That's all. I just wanted to vent about how much of this stuff is in the world and praise the USA for winning the CONCACAF group. Huzzah for the USA!!!
