Drunk @ College

So, despite my schools recently escalated efforts to stop kids from drinking on campus, I am quite drunk. That's because the whole idea of a dry campus is a myth. College students drink. A lot. 

In fact, I'll bet that campuses which are supposedly dry have more drunks than the colleges that allow alcohol. I have no real evidence to support that claim, but I do know that as soon as you tell people not to something it becomes a whole lot cooler to do it. Which explains why the war on drugs in general is nothing but a colossal publicity stunt that wastes a shit ton of money and puts people in jail for nor good reason. 

But if you believe that prohibition is the solution to the drug "problem", consider this. I am not yet 21 years old. I am on a campus that prohibits alcohol. And I'm shitfaced.

So exactly how well does prohibition work?

Lost Sense of Direction

If all soldiers acted like this there would be a lot fewer wars.

If all scientists were as smart as this guy we would know a lot more about the world.

And I don't know what the guy who made this 1960's PSA was on, but it definetly wasn't acid. Last time I checked people on acid don't murder hotdogs, they just watch videos like this one and talk about space.

Again with the pot thing?

Yeah, I am pretty sure I'm not the first college student to use their blog to complain about how unjustified marijuana laws are. And I am also pretty sure that the policy makers in congress are not following this blog with bated breath ready to reform drug policy as soon as I give the word. But when misguided and outdated drug laws cause shit like this to happen I feel like the public should at least know about it. Not to mention that the prohibition of hemp, one of the most useful plants on earth, is probably costing the US economy billions of dollars every year as well as leading to unnecessary environmental destruction. And the worst part about hemp being illegal is that it contains so little THC you would have to smoke an entire pound or two just to cop a good buzz.

On an entirely unrelated note, If anybody has not yet seen speak the Hungarian rapper than you are missing out on one of the best awful songs that youtube has provided to the world. Also, one of the weird backup singers looks like Phil Collins. Maybe Mr. Collins had a brief stint in the hilariously bad political Hungarian rap scene?

The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn

So...I'm stoned.

And I also just had the Pogues show up on my Pandora station. If you don't know who the Pogues are you should. You can download some of their music for free with Rapid Share. I found the link to the files on Album Wash which is a site every music lover should check out.

Also, I found a cartoon of two dinosaurs discussing math.

And apparently some asshole senator from Mississippi is following the lead of some asshole senators from Alabama and trying to ruin science.

And that's it. Time to pass out.

Hello Internet.

So here it is, my first blog post. A blog post that will likely remain an obscure and unknown bit of information that is lost in the overwhelming sea of information that is the internet.

But just in case anyone stumbles upon my generic, template-based blog I will try to make this first post a good one. A lot of blogs have some sort of theme or some sort of message. This blog most likely will not. It is more likely that this blog will simply be the random fumblings of a bored American male.

I will be posting videos I like, music I'm interested in, and of course rambling on about science and politics. Who knows, I may even write a few posts while under the influence of some of my favorite drugs.

But for now, I leave you with this. My first time, hyper-link filled blogpost. I hope you are able to salvage some sort of entertainment from it.
