I don’t get it. What is the big deal, people? Yes, it’s a new iPhone, but really… big freaking deal.
First, it is cheaper than the old one. Oh… but wait… you have to activate it in an ATT store or Apple Store meaning you can’t just buy it online and have it sent to your phone and do the activation from the convenience of your seat AND you can’t hack it to run T-Mobile (like I’m doing). And really, you already had people willing to shell out $500 for it.
It is 97 degrees right now. Predicted to be 99 degrees before the day is over. But the best part is the “RealFeel” prediction which says it feels like 107 degrees. Awesome. The humidity is unbelievable. I didn’t even know there was a sizzling thermometer icon on for the weather! Apparently, this is going to be a record high today. Nice.
As I was saying about NYU’s poor facilities. My AC unit is broken. Yeah… I called and asked them to fix it. Yeah… they’ll fix it in 4 weeks. “Wowwww… Cooool! So I gave you guys five thousand dollars so you can fix my AC unit THE WEEK AFTER I LEAVE! Nice.”
Nothing feels as good as 51% humidity, 97 degree air from Chinatown circulating in your room. Hits all the senses at once.
Thanks NYU,

PS — Your stupid washing machine doubled charged me for one load of laundry.
Not going to lie — one thing I will never bring my self to miss from undergrad are the all-nighters. Thankfully, I’m still doing them so that won’t be much of a problem.
I often wonder how I got into any graduate school much less half-decent ones.
A San Diego-based Christian group called The Resistance has called for a national boycott of Starbucks stating that the new logo “has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute. Need I say more? It’s extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves, ‘Slutbucks’.”
This is the same religious group that has called for the likes of Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton to stop acting ridiculously and lobbied for the Duke Blue Devils to change their name to something less offensive to Christians everywhere.
I decided to modify the logo for decency. Here it is:
One thing I’m really starting to hate about New York is the lack of customer service. It’s one thing for the people to be stuck up or rude — they are, after all, New Yorkers and have a reputation to protect. However, it is a completely different thing to be rude to people who are paying customers.
It’s your job, man. I could really care less if you had a bad day, this is your occupation. Do doctors who have bad days decide to mistreat their patients? Do policemen who wake up on the wrong side of the bed decide to not arrest people? Your job is to be nice to your customers. From 9 to 5 every weekday, that is your life, sir. Suck it up.
On my blacklist of places I will no longer do business with:

The Personality Test Results.
You Are An ENTJ
The Executive
You are a natural leader – with confidence and strength that inspires others.
Driven to succeed, you are always looking for ways to gain, power, knowledge, and expertise.
Sometimes you aren’t the most considerate person, especially to those who are a bit slow.
You are not easily intimidated – and you have a commanding, awe-inspiring presence.
In love, you hold high standards… for yourself, for your relationship, and for your significant other.
While it’s easy for you to impress others, it’s hard for you to find someone who impresses you.
At work, you are organized and good at delegating. You understand how to achieve goals.
You would make a great CEO, entrepreneur, or consultant.
How you see yourself: Rational, calm, and objective
When other people don’t get you, they see you as: Inflexible, controlling, and overbearing

San Diego State University has a reputation for a lot of things, namely:
And now, I can say that my alma mater also had the largest drug ring (and drug bust) on any campus in the US.
Almost 100 people arrested. 75 of them SDSU students. Seized items include $100,000 worth of marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, ‘shrooms, meth, and presciprtion pills. Among those arrested was one Michael Montoya — a second year grad student (1 month from graduating) studying, wait for it… Homeland Security. Also had students majoring in criminal justice (caught with 500 grams of cocaine and two guns) who actually asked the officer if this arrest was going to negatively affect his chances at becoming a federal enforecement officer. I just couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. They even arrested a gang member with close ties to the Mexican drug cartels (obviously, not a student).
