October 18, 2013

This speech-to-text software may be a technological marvel, but considering that we often speak faster than we think, and that a number of us tend to ramble, is all the proofreading and revising really worth it?

I often get a kick out of people gossipping about how nosy someone else is.

Repeatedly asking me the same question will not get you a different answer, because even if I was lying when I answered the first time (highly unlikely, by the way), now I'll refuse to give you a different answer because YOU'RE TICKING ME OFF.

I actually feel sorry for the Starbucks Drake guy; I bet when he sent his video, he didn't know it was creepy enough to launch a meme.

It's better to be a genuine unsung hero than a fake,  papier mâché gloryhound.

October 17 was "Spirit Day", observed by people wearing purple, taking a stand against bullying, in support of the LGBT community. Okay, bullying for whatever reason is wrong, but the LGBT community isn't the only victims; people of all ages are being bullied for being tall, short, fat, thin, poor, etc. What day do we support them?

Surviving a wild or even immoral background doesn't make you a hypocrite if you disapprove of such behavior today; even if your priorities haven't changed, today's world is way different from yesterday's, and exponentially more dangerous.

Conrad Murray, the former doctor who will soon be released from incarceration for the involuntary homicide of Michael Jackson, wants his medical license reinstated. His argument is that Jackson is the only patient Murray has ever lost, while other doctors who have lost several patients are still practicing medicine. Is it too soon to suggest that, before making a decision, the licensing board sleep on it?

While a number of people criticized Justin Bieber for disrespecting the Great Wall of China, the Chinese embassy is in favor of the pop star increasing young tourism and commerce. Anybody want cream (as in, Cash Rules Everything Around Me) in their coffee?

How did I avoid pot stickers all these years? They're delightful! One more thing off the bucket list (by the way, is it disrespectful to call it a bucket list when you hope to live forever?).
