Why do I suck at life?

Why do I hate school?

Why do I hate work?

Why do I suck at relationships?

Why do I suck at traditional grip?

Why do I hate life?

Why does life hate me?




Why does everything...............suck?

Goodbye, UND. Hello, SIU.

Well, it's official. Coach Lennon is leaving the University of North Dakota to take over the head coaching position at Southern Illinois State University.

That sucks.

Even though I am a hardcore Bison fan, I don't want Coach Lennon leaving the Sioux and joining the Salukis. The Sioux are entering the first year of the D-IAA transition. UND has no AD and a lame-duck President. Now, from Friday onward, they will have a lame-duck President, no AD, and no head football coach. They are going to have a fun 5 years of transitional hell.

What also sucks (though not as much as UND's situation) is that SIU is in the same conference as NDSU. So I guess we'll get to have another chance to shove a win down Coach Lennon's throat. Now the Gateway Conference is going to be that much harder (and that much sweeter when NDSU wins) from now on.

Good luck, Coach Lennon and Salukis - except when you face the mighty Bison.

Here is the artical in the Grand Forks Herald.

SEX!!!

Ok, now that I have your attention..... lol Sorry, Matt. I had to use your line.

It's that time of the month again. No, not THAT time of the month. It's time to write one of my ever famous serious posts. I've been brewing a rant of sorts about sex. I had a conversation with a friend about it last night and that put the icing on the cake. ...If you know what I mean.  Ewe. Even I found that to be in bad taste. At any rate... I'll leave out the specifics of course, but I will say that I was talking with a girl. My views on these subjects may change after my first sexual experience, I don't know. Being bi-sexual should double my chances of that happening, right? lol But since it hasn't happened yet, I'll speak in the here and now. So, here goes.

Why do we as a society place so much emphasis on having sex? It seems like people are having sex at lower and lower ages each year. And the percentage of virgins in the world is getting lower and lower every year.

Why? Why is it so important that you have sex? Yes, sex can be fun. But at the same time, it should be a beautiful thing as well. I think that we as a society have come to expect that it happen as soon, and as often, as it can. To quote my friend:  "Unless two people openly express that they have a desire to wait until marriage, it's pretty much expected now." In my conversation with her last night, she admitted that she and her boyfriend have had sex. And that she had had sex before him. She is 19 and her boyfriend is 20. Although they're adults and it's perfectly fine for them to be doing whatever whenever they wish, it still amazes me. When I first met her she seemed like a young, semi-innocent girl. Now I learn that she could have already had sex back then. [I didn't ask her when her first time was, because that would be too personal.] I know that they're both adults, but still.

She also stated that she would have been disappointed if they didn't have sex after a certain amount of time. I'm sorry, but that's just sad. It's a sad, sad world where people get disappointed by this. Which leaves be to wonder: if they still hadn't had sex yet, would they still be together? It's sad when people base relationships on sex. [No, I'm not saying that my friend does, but it ties in with the point.] There are whole relationships that are based solely on sex. To quote Jeff Foxworthy: "Getting married to have sex is like buying a 747 to get free peanuts. There are more cost efficient ways of getting it."

It's getting harder and harder to judge people when it comes to sex. Nice segue, huh? You know what I mean. There are some people that you can just tell whether or not they've had sex. Not so much these days. Now a days the people that seem so innocent and sheltered are doing it like rabbits, and the ones that seem like they've been around the block once or twice are still pure.

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world when it comes to sex.
