Neither here nor there...

Well, I don't have much to say, but I don't blog enough, so I thought I'd just talk about stuff that doesn't really have much to do with anything.

Let's see...oh, I know--entertainment. I went to the theater a couple of times this year, and rented other countless movies. The best movie of the year, in my opinion, has got to be "The Simpsons Movie." This movie was AWESOME. I mean, come on...Bart Simpson...full frontal nudity...you just can't beat that. The rest of the movie was hilarious, too. I also loved "The Last Mimzy," even though it made it onto the list of the 10 worst movies of 2007. I thought it was cool. In my ever-so-humble opinion, the worst movie of the year has got to be "Bridge to Terabithia." I was really looking forward to this movie, hoping it would be something like "The Chronicles of Narnia," which I LOVED, but instead it was so, so stupid.

As for TV, Thursday night on NBC from 7 to 9 is the best night only television, followed extremely closely by Fox's Sunday night. This is the last season for "Scrubs," which really, really pisses me off. I mean, Zach Braff, I love you, but do you really think you are going to leave this hit show and take the movie world by storm? I've never even seen "Garden State."

Okay, enough of entertainment, I'm getting bored. I guess that's enough for this post. I wanted to post an entry that was a little more lighthearted than my others, but, as usual, I just end up whining and complaining. Oh, well, I have to go with my strengths.

Fat People

Hey, I'm back...I know I don't blog often, but, whatever...

This time I'd like to talk about fat people. Now, right off the bat, let me say that I'm no little skinny thing, I'm fairly chunkified, but what I'm talking about is not the people who need to lose 10, 20, or even 50 or 60 pounds; I'm talking about you out there who are 300 and 400 plus pounds. Having worked at an orthopedic center for a year, I've seen so many freakin' huge people coming in to get their knees replaced--that's what I'm talking about. The ones who have bellies hanging down to their knees and have to use a Hoveround to get out to the kitchen for their 1,000-calorie snacks.

Now, being a vegetarian, I would like it if people would all stop eating meat and move on with the next step of evolution. However, being a somewhat rational human, I know that this won't happen soon, if ever, but I try not to let it bother me and I don't hold it against my meat-eating friends. What does get me is this: fat people eating meat. I think that if you're a huge fat load, then it should be illegal for you to consume the flesh of another living being. I mean, eating to live is one thing, but daily eating thousands of calories over what you need to survive and causing someone's death in order to do it is shameful and just plain wrong.

Now, I've been to a bar before where I've seen someone get way messed up and subsequently cut off by the bartender. I was even cut off one time when the bartender said I was ordering another shot too soon (I'd had a shot of Jack and wanted another one 15 minutes later and she told me I'd have to wait an hour...whatever, bitch). I think that restaurants should have this same rule. I think that if you waddle or Hoveround your fat ass into a KFC and ask for a bucket of extra crispy dead bird, the waiter or cashier should be required to say, "Buddy, I think you've had enough." If you want to be a huge, disgusting drain on society, then go ahead and do it, but don't cause the death of the innocent to get you there. I mean, come on, there's no meat in a Twinkie. Stuff your fat face with that.
