Loathe: If yuu cann read thys...

There is one thing -- one thing??? lol -- that I can't stand, and that is people who spell incorrectly on purpose.

Samuel Johnson is spinning in his grave, no doubt. It is mostly teenagers and pre-teenagers that do this horrific atrocity against the English language. There is one thing to bastardize the English language by using words like "kewl" -- a word my mother used in the late-1990s which made me shutter then, and continues to send shivers down my spine -- but this completly rocks that boat. No...it not only rocks the boat, but it sinks it, sending the English language to a watery grave.

Now, there are words like "yuu," which means 'you' (obviously). I could understand if the words were really long, but with words like you, there shouldn't be any mistake. From what I gather, these words are spelled incorrectly because it is some form of abbreviation. An ABBREVIATION???? For a three-letter word? Abbreviations are meant for words like kilometer (km), water (H20), and NOT for "you."

Y-O-U ... becomes ... Y-U-U...becomes ... :-(
When I was younger and idealistic and optimistic, I thought of becoming a teacher. But then, I entered high school and saw that the majority of my teachers were mindless robots who went through the motions in order to receive a paycheck. Anyway, those feelings of being a teacher are slowly coming back, just so I could slap children's wrists with a ruler if they ever even suggested at misspelling words to sound "cool." It's not cool. It's stupid and it's ignorant.

Children of today, you have a brain: Uuse Use it!

Loathe: Kim Kardashian

Kim K. Exclusive: Pregnancy is Hard
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: Lovers! (Doesn't he look so pleased?)

C'mon guys, you knew this was coming, right? She's the butt (no pun intended) of many a joke from Camp James Falcon, and even from Camp Edna Weisbach (my grandmother).

And it just so happens that she and her baby daddy -- or whatever you want to call that relationship -- Kanye West announced that they are with child!

In an exclusive released on New Years Day, Kim Kardashian talks about how hard pregnancy is:
"When people say that pregnancy is fun and they love it I would have to disagree. Even my sister has made it look easy, but it's not as easy as people think. I heard it's all worth it so I'm looking forward to that."
As if she would know. She's been pregnant for, what, seven minutes, and she's already bitching about it? I guess she's afraid of stretch marks. OH NO! She also says that since becoming pregnant, she is taking more naps. Oh well, at least it isn't a change to her lifestyle. I mean, she spends most of her time in bed anyway. That's how she got famous, right? :-p

The question on everybody's lips -- okay, my lips, and I'm wondering why I care in the first place -- is will Kim and Kanye get married? Or will they just shack up? Apparently, Kim is still legally married to ol' whats-his-name Kris Humphries, her second husband, her spouse from the marriage that lasted 72 days. (She and her first husband, Damon Thomas, were married from 2001 to 2004.)

And speaking of her marriages, why is it that all of these celebrities can get married hundreds of times but Adam and Steve, a loving and *gasp* gay couple of 20 years, can't get married? People campaigning and screaming about the "sanctity of marriage," I guess turn a blind eye to Kim Kardashian's 72-day-marriage. Probably because they are heteorsexual. Oh well.

But, hey it's the New Year! Go out and celebrate!

Welcome!

Here it is. The inaugural post for my blog - Eating Buffalo Chips in a Teepee.

First of all, I want to say that I picked this title because it is off-the-wall. It is something that sticks in your mind. It might even make you hungry. (Because we all know that nothing says NOM NOM NOM like chowing down on some buffalo chips, right? .... riiiight?????).

Anyway, I'm digressing from the point.

The goal of this blog, this Internet journal, is to serve as a forum for my ranting and raving. Before, I would do so on Facebook, and sometimes I throw in the occasional swear. I don't want to offend family or friends that are on my Facebook. I don't want to force them to realize that, yes, Kim Kardashian is a big old courtesan. (Or, as my Grandma calls her. "A slut," before adding, for good measure: "And so is Snooki!")

So here we are, on the World Wide Web.

As part of my New Year's Resolution, I plan on posting at least once a day  on a topic of my choice. The postings will be a discussion on things/people/ideas/places/etc. that I: LOVE!, like, loathe, or wish I could ship into space (like Toby Keith....but I'll save that for the post!).

In addition to getting out certain frustrations, I hope that this blog will also help me sharpen my writing skills. Well, I mean I have been writing for about eight years, but it was work, not personal. (I wrote for newspapers, and now I work as a communications specialist for a hospital....so basically, I write up some good ol' P.R.!)

Alrighty, here we go! While I didn't intend on starting my blog until January 1, 2013, I figure that I might start it this weekend or early next week. After all, if this Mayan Apocalypse does come, wouldn't I just look like a fool, not starting my blog until AFTER the world ends?

Because I hate looking like a fool.
