Observations: Teenage Mutant Ninja Whores

Nothing I'm about to say is fact and is meant to be taken lightly. I don't have my PHD in psychology, so everything is merely opinion. I suggest you laugh at my absurdities.

Somewhere in my life I remember being taught that humans (and most creatures) were engineered to breed with the best of the best from their species. This would mean the best looking and physically fit male would boink with the most attractive and symmetrically-faced female; or something to that effect. I'm 26-years-old and definitely not ready to be a parent just yet, however, many teenagers have been thrust into adulthood by becoming parents. Teenagers have unprotected sex and the byproduct, surprise-surprise, is a child they're not ready for.

I'm alright with that because it's their mistake to make, but I've noticed more and more that quite a few of these young-parents share something in common. It sounds pretty shallow of me to say what I'm about to say, but it's true. I believe we've reversed our predisposed way of reproducing by taking any willing participant, no matter how unattractive they are, and humping with it. We've essentially lowered the bar, allowing people who probably wouldn't have reproduced hundreds of year ago the privilege to do so. Everyone is equal these days, and I wouldn't have it any other way, but I find myself laughing at how things have changed.

Sex is pleasurable and most horny males would hump anything that has a hole. It doesn't seem to matter anymore. Women who lack the looks often have low self-esteem. These poor souls crave the attention their given and become easy prey. A male who knows how to play the game can easily play off that, getting what he wants. I'm sure this has happened for centuries, but ugly people were most likely poor back in the day. They probably had trouble surviving from day-to-day and ended up dying from something so trivial, which stopped the ugliness in it's tracks.

Today it's the complete opposite. Most people can afford a decent life (Unless they live in a third world country, but that's another issue entirely). I honestly wish all this wasn't so, but it makes sense to me. Because of this, I'm scared straight of having my children turn out the way so many of our youth have. I don't want my kids having low self-esteem or becoming a sexual predator. How do you prevent such a thing from even happening anyway? I'll have to bring back the chastity belt.

Final Thought:
I hope my idea of a future where ugly people breed even uglier doesn't happen. We will devolve into a hideous race of inbreed mutants, forced into the sewers of society to live out our lives as crime fighters who enjoy pizza. What a world that would be. A world of heroes fighting other heroes, all for the right to lay claim to the last remaining Pizza Hut.

Assholes & Their Printer Ink

Today my first year of college came to a close. For some reason, I feel sad. I should be happy to have time off, but instead I feel disappointed that it's over for now. The year itself seemed to go by way too fast. I've learned a lot since I've started this course, but it feels like yesterday I was sitting down for the first time in a room filled with nameless faces. Only two more years left to go and next year is going to be tough. Perhaps I should take this time to enjoy myself. Anyhow, the main reason for this post is to complain about printer ink. A worthy cause to complain about, no? Oui, oui!

Today I needed to refill my printer ink. However, I learned that the cartridges that came with my Lexmark are single-use, meaning there's a chip in the damn thing designed to stop functioning after a fixed amount has been dispensed. It's no secret companies like to nickel and dime their consumers whenever possible. I bought this printer for 80-bucks Canadian, which is a good price, but they don't make money on the sale of hardware. They make up for it by charging unfair prices on their perishable items, like cartridges. How much does ink really cost and the plastic molding needed to put it in? I'll probably do some research and come back to answer that.

I soon found out Lexmark offers refillable cartridges, which are supposedly purchased at a local retailer. Think I could find anything of the sort? Of course not. So now I'm stuck with a new colour cart that cost $31, when a refill would have been $15. If I wanted to buy a pair of black and colour cartridges, it would cost roughly $70 with taxes. For 10-bucks more I can buy a brand new printer that is probably better than my current one. A crime? I think so. A damn shame? I believe even more so.

I would like to take the main headquarters for Lexmark and give it a mighty beat down. Not on the scale of Zeus, but beatings a mere mortal could dispense. Just stomp it into the ground and take a baseball bat to it for good measure. Afterward, there would be a party in someone's apartment. This sounds oddly familiar actually....
