There is this article in the New York Times that annoyed me. It’s about parents yelling at kids and how yelling is becoming the new spanking. Basically, the article is condemning yelling because it might cause emotional distress and slow intellectual development.
Bullshit. I’m an advocate of spanking, when it’s purposeful and methodical. You did something wrong, then you get spanked. It’s not the end of the world. It probably does lead to aggressive behavior as an adult, but a little aggression is OK. It builds character, it grounds you, and best of all, it gives you a more realistic outlook on things.
But nowadays it’s taboo to spank kids. What happens is that you get a generation of kids who are fucking self-centered, obnoxious pussies. I hate them. They don’t have any character, no sense of loyalty, and are selfish as fuck — I just described a typical college student. They didn’t get beat when they were small and now they became douchebags as grownups who feel entitled to everything. I hate talking to people who condemn spanking, because they’re always these spoiled brats who don’t know what they’re talking about.
This is me ranting again. Of course, this is all generalization, but there is a hint of truth in it. Take whatever I say with a grain of salt.

On playing basketball on Sunday:
Guy 1: Can’t make it. Football watching conflict.
Girl: Monday night football…. sucks you’re not a Skins fan
Guy 2: I think being a Skins fan is what sucks.
Me: Oops sorry guys, I have a thing that morning… interested in pushing
it to 1:30-2?
Me: and Skins do suck.
Girl: Eat shit and die.
Guy 2: Stay classy Washington.

Brother 1: What do I need to apply to that?
Brother 2: Just two things: “Bull” and “shit.”
Brother 1: I only have one of those.

Our basketball game started at 9:30 pm, which was later than usual.
Me: Fuck I’m not going to get home until 12.
Friend: Just crash at my place. You could snuggle with Sparky (his dog). Pause. Wait, no. I don’t want you near my dog. I know your kind. I’ll probably never see him again.

I was watching the USC/CAL game with a couple of my friends at Manny’s (formerly Raleigh’s) when my friend got into this heated argument with these two girls from USC. They were being obnoxious and bitchy, and if they were dudes, they would’ve got their ass kicked.
I missed the first half of the conversation, but from what my friend had told me, they kept bashing Cal, saying USC is better in every aspect. According to them, USC students are more socially adept, have better leadership skills, and can get better jobs. The audacity of these women to come to Berkeley territory and gloat about their school is fucking incredible.
Anyway, I only heard the latter half of the conversation and it went something like this:
Friend: Ok, let me ask you this, do you make 100k? Are you making a 100k right now?
USC girl: Well, we just started working…
Friend: So you don’t?
USC girl: I didn’t say that.
Friend: Well, let me tell you something. I do so shut the fuck up.
My friend was lying his ass off.

I was invited to my co-workers dinner party. She cooked Bosnian food and made British dessert.
Host’s husband: What would you like to drink? Wine?
Grad student: No thanks. Water is fine.
Host’s husband: You sure?
Grad student: Yeah, I have a problem. You know how it is. You’re British.
