The phone is haunted

The other day I go to down load photos off of my phone when this picture showed up. Look closely at the center I thought it looked like a person. Several other people see it to. I know for a fact I did not take this picture. This is so freaky.  Some may think it is a picture of my pocket which has been suggested, but I never carry my phone in my pocket it is always on my belt.

More Randomness

So here is the thing I was just sitting here pondering, what keeps happening to my dress socks. I have over a dozen pairs no wait single dress socks seriously they vanish somewhere I just can't figure out where. Of course a dress sock is worthless without its mate because well I can't just grab another one that looks similar. They are expensive as well so I am so tired of loosing them. I am so going to start buying the plain ones.

Since I am a grad student and I work at the college in a residence hall you'll hear a lot about college students here. One of my favorite scratch your head and wonder how the poor kid made it out of high school and into college moments are you ready for this. A student came to the front desk when I happened to be standing there and wanted to check out of their dorm room. The receptionist asked to simple questions did you put in a forwarding address, and did you clean your room. The answer this is priceless. I didn't know I had to. Man after the poor kid left I almost feel on the floor laughing. O.K. I can understand the whole forwarding address thing first time away from home and what not. I still say that would be common sense but the whole I didn't know I had to clean my room made me wonder.

The point to ponder for the day
Why are some the smartest people so dumb when it comes to good old common sense? I knew a guy who knew some of the dumbest facts ever a whiz at play along jeopardy but once had to ask how to call an ambulance. No kidding.

It is day 3 of no shave November and still growing.
Oh yeah and we are officially passed the 8 months smoke free marker and heading to a strong 10 months.
Have a good weekend all and I shall have another point to ponder when I am on again.

Random rambling

Time 6:08 A.m.

I am exhausted and fighting to stay awake. After work I am going into have some blood tests ran that had to fast for. Starting at 9 p.m. last night. You would think since I work nights all the time I would be golden but oh no. My body is pissed off screaming caffeine. O.K. I freely admit I am caffeine addict no problem and my body is so pissed right now. I have two more hours of work and then I can go to the lab.

Further more and on a side note. I am indeed participating in No Shave November. The rules are simple don't shave don't even trim for an entire month. So after hearing about this from a resident I looke into it. Appearenlty women can particpate as well they are noit suppose to shave their legs. That is kinda of disturbing and yet the truth is they can at least hide that by wearing pants us guys doing this well it might get disgusting to look at. So I will be posting pics from time to time to show the progress if that is what we want to call it.

Note to self start doing more research before buying cds. I went to Best Buy tonight and bought a cd first of all it took the sales person a while to find it. So I started listening to it in the car my friend commented that he was worried about me after hearing some  of the lyrics. I do like some of the songs but over all probably could have wpent the money better.

Something to ponder

Have you ever wondered why Walmart and oither stores build 30 or so cash registers but only run maybe half of them all at the same time I would say it is less then half but I just don't get why the have so many registers if the don't use them. Just something to consider.

 

Things that  are really annoying

People who talk on their cell phone while at the checkout or the front desk where I work. If youn want to do business then ask the person on the phone to hold on and then resume the conversation afterwards do not try to carry on two conversations at the same time.

People in jobs dealing with the public that act like its the end of the world if they have to help you. Maybe they should find another job. Just a thought there.

Walmart why I can never find  people on the floor of the store there.

 

Well I guess my rant has gone on long enough.

The education system fails again

Recently at Missouri State University there was a lot of protesting by students who proved that the education system is failing the next generation. During an event titled Momfest in what has been designated as a free speech zone officers politly told the organizer to ask the bands from using the F word because a complaint had been registered. I am not going to state or debate rather the school was wrong not but I am going to say the response by students showed a complete ignorance of the constitution and what freedom of speech means. As I read comments in the school paper by both the papers staff and fellow students I wondered did any of them ever take a basic social studies course or political science or anything.

First of all to be perfectly clear freedom of speech does not nor has it ever meant you can say anything you want at all. I can not run in to a croweded theater and yell fire casing said theater to lose business. I can not maliciously and with ill content  attack people even if what I say is true. Further more I wonder if these teens and young adults had ever heard of libel, slander, or the alien and sediation acts.

Everything mentioned above proves that while I may be free to say anything I want there are consequences which could include jail. During war people were arrested for criticising the goverment and no that is not recently that was well before even the civil war. The paper porported they could print the f- word in its entirity if they wanted to. The funny thing is that the Supreme Court has said obscenities are not protecetd by the freedom of speech clause. So is everything protected by freedom of speech no. I am not going to debate what constitutes obscenities but the f- word legally is not an obcenity.  So while the school may have been wrong the students showed a complete ignorance of the constitution and the law. America has a long history of what many would term censorship freedom of speech does not protect everything nor has it ever nor was it intended to.  Why do supposedly inteligient people college students not know this something I learned in high school and several times later in numerous constitutional law classes, and yes political science classes that should be required of all students.
