Dogs - Part 1
Dear World,
News flash: big dogs needs a lot of room to run around and well, be dogs.
I was walking around my neighborhood over the weekend and I noticed the massive amount of people walking their large dogs (by large dogs I mean full grown golden retriever size). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure a standard NYC apartment isn't particularly fair to a dog of this size. I'm not a dog lover by any means, but these people should be arrested by PETA. Unless the 20+ people I saw walking their large size dogs are part of the 18 billionaires living in New York City, who obviously would have the space for these sized dogs, these people should really reconsider whether they are good pet owners.
Tomorrow, in Dogs - Part 2, small dogs: who's walking who.
Until then...
Love,
J.

Birthdays
Dear World,
How do you feel about birthdays? I love them. And most of all, I love making a big deal about them. Mine, yours, his, hers, I'm all about planning birthday celebrations. Every year mine's an event. This year, someone said to me, "Why do you make it such a production? It's like a national event." My response was simple, "If I don't, no one will," and why should they?
This year I got to pondering the biggest issues when it comes to birthdays. What do you do about a birthday during the week? I mean, yeah sure, we can be teenagers and go out partying and work will suck the next day but the probability that everyone you want to celebrate with wants to do that is not great. So, I've solved part of the problem, the gift giving issue. Inspired by my coworkers the Jews and the idea of Hannukah.
If your birthday is on a Wednesday, for example, you're getting a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday birthday present. As this is the case with my boyfriend's birthday this year, I have planned accordingly. It is important to note in my thought process that we must be on the celebrating together level, else I'm with holding said presents.
As for the issue of when to celebrate, I'm of the opinion that the weekend before AND after should have activities.
All I'm saying here is that you can be one of those people who doesn't care about birthdays and then the day of, everyone's busy and there's 3 of you at a random bar, OR you can plan accordingly and have a fantastic time and snag some great pics. The choice is yours and yours alone. Good Luck. (5 points if you get the reference).
Love,
J

Nerding Out
Dear World,
I know I haven't written in a long time and this certainly won't be the post everyone's looking for but I've had this rant in me for a long time so perhaps you should stop reading now unless you're a Nolan brothers, Joss Whedon, DC versus Marvel kinda person, you won't care at all about what I'm about say.
If those criteria didn't serve to clue you in, the blatant terms are: I'm actually a pretty big nerd.
What am I choosing to absolutely nerd out on? I hate the character "Rogue" from X-Men. Seriously, it makes me mad and ranty. She is the most useless X-Men ever created. Absolutely USELESS and the way she is portrayed in the movies only serves to further exemplify this. She literally has no other power than to steal power from other mutants and in the process kill them. What aid does she provide or niche does she fill on a team of powerful mutants trying to save the world? Dead-weight - is that a role? Fill the chair and ugly suit with someone else, pleeeeease. She's even annoying to watch (but that's also just typical Anna Paquin).
I know that in the comic books she could fly but that's only after she killed for it. X-Men don't kill; they provide a service, neither of which she does. But even that wouldn't have saved the movies, let's be honest. James Marsden completely screwed the entire script and plot-line because he wanted to be in the latest Superman movie which was awesome and all, but no where near as good a role. Comparison: Cyclops or Richard the I-pretend-it's-my-child-but-it-clearly-isn't fiancée.
But I digress, Rogue can't even be a normal human being, even if she wanted to. Well, I guess she could become a nun. Okay, she's got two life choices: kill mutants and steal their powers or become a nun. If she choose the former she's no better that Sylar from "Heros." If she chooses the latter, she's hearing confessions all day (oh wait, that's not what nuns do. Wait, what do nuns do? Googling...). So either she's living a life of celibacy coupled with ugly step-sister neglect or she's a murderer. The only way she can actually touch someone, without some sort of condom-like barrier is to have Leech next to her at all times. Hello life-long virginity.
But maybe this is a just a fail of Marvel. I mean, their claims to fame are X-Men and Spiderman and let's be honest, Spiderman, is a bit of a whiny bitch. So I guess this also serves to solidify my choice of being a DC Comics person.
I'm pretty sure the Justice League can take out the X-Men any day.
(If you're not familiar with JLU, find it on Netflix. In a nutshell, DC created a show entirely around the 1000 other awesome autonomous characters they created.)
Okay, I'm done ranting. Going to watch some more Heros.
Love,
J.

Jesus Is Coming For MY BIRTHDAY
Dear World,
I'm one of those people whose birthday is a big deal. It's a week long of festivities. For my 21st birthday, the celebration lasted about two and a half weeks.
This year will be no different but there's going to be a special guest. Instead of the world ending in 2012, per the Mayans and whomever else was too lazy to finish the calendar, the below group is saying that on my birthday this year, Jesus will return and then the world will end.
http://www.wecanknow.com/
Of course, New York Magazine added it's opinion (Yay!): http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/04/group_still_totally_certain_th.html
Hey, I'm not complaining. I'll be in the celebratory mindset, so hey, bring it on.
Join the party. Everyone's invited.
Love,
J.

It’s Time to Play ‘Sheen, Beck, or Qaddafi?’
It’s Time to Play ‘Sheen, Beck, or Qaddafi?’ -- Daily Intel
This article is almost as absurd as Glenn Beck himself.
Enjoy!
