# 1 I promise from now on to not ignore the xanga site and will update at the very least once a week so I can bitch and moan here.
# 2 Enjoying my break a lot, it's relaxing and I'm getting lots of the random shit done that I need to (mostly overdue credit card and dental bills). Slept 'til 6 pm the other day =D. Life is good actually, besides being in debt, classes are good, got my own room for next quarter, love my job, simultaneously excited to be home and to go back to school
# 3 So I'm in the shower earlier today and as I'm being sexy and washing my hair, I look at the bottle of pantene and see that it says in bold yellow letters "NOW WITH AMINO PROTEINS."
I'm thinking to myself "this is such bullshit, your hair is dead, and your scalp ain't absorbing anything, what the hell is the point of putting proteins in shampoo?"
Then I start thinking about why it says amino proteins--all proteins have amino acids in them, otherwise they're not proteins, so what's the point of calling it an "amino protein," which is not only redundant but also incomplete. If they just wrote "With proteins" on the bottle would people begin to think that you could eat shampoo or perhaps realize how there is no point in adding proteins to shampoo because the idea of it is retarded. Naturally, they couldn't write "with amino acid proteins," cause then everyone would think their head would catch on fire the second they poured the shampoo on it. So, they settled for amino proteins so that they could sound scientific enough to allure people into believing that this product is anything but hygienic. Therefore, this world is bullshit. QED
This isn't a recent realization or anything, but I'm really just bored with the transit workers strike and all.
Along the lines of bullshit, anyone want to tell me what this essay prompt means for my scholarship application:

I'm not sure if it'd be better to write about why it's important to be open-minded as in accepting or if it's referring more to exploring different academic fields... |
