Random Thoughts And Opinions That Occur to Me From Time To Time

• Has Northeastern ever played Northwestern in competitive sports? As the two leading intermediate directionally named universities in America, I feel they have a natural rivalry and obligation to compete with one another.
• Why is it Christmas in July? People know this makes zero sense right? Why do we let it continue. It should definitely be Christmas in June, Christmas in June makes sense. This is incredibly confusing to 3rd graders and younger. Lets fix this.
• I could probably win Jeopardy...I'd have to get a little lucky with the opponents and avoid too many literature or sewing categories, but its definitely possible for me to win Jeopardy. It's all about timing.
• I'd definitely win at Millionaire...there's just no way you can lose, I'd probably only need one lifeline..I often feel as though they're purposely picking the people with the least common sense for that show.
• That said, I wouldn't make it more than three questions in Smarter than a 5th Grader...I'm defintely smarter than those smug brats, I just can't remember all my cloud categories and I've always sucked at conversion tables...news flash kids, we're not converting to metric anytime soon and you won't need to know that.
• I hate it when people sync their twitter and facebook accounts...Look, I don't want to get whatever that is mixed up with whatever this is, I just don't. Twitter= self promotion, news sources, and a chance to talk to famous people you'd otherwise be unable to. Facebook= updates on what kind of sandwich you had for lunch and drunk pics from the weekend. Lets keep these worlds separate people.
• I've always said Catcher in the Rye is my favorite book...I'm not even sure if that's necessarily true, or if I say it out of reflex because its the only book I've read that I'm not embarrassed to admit...It's not like you can tell someone your favorite book is "My Booky-Wook" by Russell Brand, that conversation will end real quick.
• In truth my favorite book is probably something by R.L. Stine, the man is a writing legend.
• There's nothing I hate more than getting paired with a stranger in golf...I don't take the time of day to get to know my neighbors and I have to live next to these people, I certainly don't want forced conversation and silent judgement about my golf game from a complete stranger. I'll never understand why golf starters assume this is ok. No one on earth has ever wanted to be paired with a couple of rando's.
• Invariably I'll eat the worst thing for my stomach on the menu at lunch...Build your own tacos? Yes Please! There's a fan on my desk, but the majority of the time it's not because I'm hot...lets just leave it at that.
• Few things infuriate me more than the following: You're on hold with tech support/some kind of call center, you mute your phone and wait, Ranjit finally gets to your call, says hello, you respond but you're still on mute, before you un-mute your phone, Ranjit has hung up.  Ranjit, you do this all fucking day long, you're telling me you don't know whats going on here? You can't wait one second for me? I just held 30 minutes for you!
• I love when alcohol is referred to as "soda's," though I've never actually said it myself, I just can't see me pulling it off. 
• To escalate something means to raise it upward, when you're riding down on an escalator, this makes no sense. These should definitely be called delegators.
• That's all for today, but I'm toying with making this a monthly thing, so feel free to leave me some feedback so I can tell if this format is appreciated or not.
