Your Two Cents

The rest of the world moves so fast.

There’s that beggar who sits there every day–well he craves so much more, but you toss in your two cents and move on with yours. Even those who say they care stare straight through. After all, there are bigger, better, more exciting things to do.

Farewell internet

I’ve accumulated all the useless knowledge I would need for several lifetimes, so until then, goodbye internet.

Love,

Kevin

P.S. I hate you.

Surviving College version 2.0

So it’s my second year of college and I gotta say… it’s been quite an experience so far.  There have been roller coasters of ups and downs in academics, life, hell, pretty much everything.

You know when people say that this is the time you will treasure the most?  Well, they aren’t kidding, for these four years, you have leeway to do whatever you want to.  No one’s stopping you from pursuing odd careers or dressing funny or whatever it is that everyone else does in college.

You find your niche, and you make it yours; you own it, and you get to mold it however you want.  That’s college, that’s what I’m going through.  It’s pretty great.

Pizza Rolls

On the way back form a late-night trek to CVS, I got thirsty and decided to buy a soda. Little did I know that the convenience store (Which will go unnamed, but rhymes with express tart) only allowed 3.00 purchases with debit cards. Now I could talk about the oddity of having limits on ATMs but that would be pointless and you would probably stop reading.

Anyway, I had to make up 2 dollars and 45 cents because the drink I bought was only 55 cents. So looking around the store, I notice these pizza rolls. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried them, but when I was a kid they used to taste amazing. So for the sake of nostalgia and to tack on $2.45 to my receipt, I took the plunge and bought the rolls.

I sat looking at the badly designed box with my girlfriend and decided it probably wasn’t best to eat it that night.

Therefore, the following day I heated up all 15 rolls and decided to have lunch. Unknowingly, I was about to consume a ridiculous amount of bad, bad food. So 15 rolls later, I sat there not feeling nostalgic or full, but rather greasy and fat.

Alas, I’ve learned lessons from my late night trek.

• I should eat healthier.
• If you think you should go out at 1 AM to buy something, you’re probably wrong
• You stopped doing things when you were younger for a reason

Petco selling EXPIRED treats

I recently visited a local Petco today and the little “manager’s bargin bin” caught my eye. Looking around at several items, my eye came across treats that I thought I might buy. I was looking at the back and what do I notice, but that the treats were expired!

Notice the Petco font on the sign

This is the bin the “manager’s special” items were in

And finally, notice the date of expiration–April, 2007

I’ve owned turtles before and from experience, I already know that many employees at pet stores don’t know the most about animals, but if you’re trying to stock and sell me expired food, you should make sure I don’t have a camera phone on me first.

Here’s to your expired treats Petco,

Tito

There is a tree that confuses me.

I don’t know the name, genus, species, or anything about it, but what amazes me is not that I don’t know what type of tree it is (I’ve cleverly called it Tito), but how kind this tree is. Now wait, WTF, kind? Like kind, “I’m going to help this old lady with her bags,” kind? Well no. I guess I mean humble. Yeah, humble. Scratch kind. Tito is not kind, Tito is humble.

Tito has paper-thin skin that rips off. Of course, Tito is a tree, and his bark must serve some purpose, although that purpose is beyond me. Since I don’t understand the biological benefits peeling bark, he confuses me.

In my head, Tito is giving as much of his life up as the world wants. If I rip a piece off, he doesn’t complain, if a squirrel comes by and does the same, Tito is still just there, not caring how much we are taking, not even thinking about how much he is giving. If all his bark was ripped off, and he became a nothing, Tito still would not care. He can give up his protection, his life for nothing in return.

Can you?
