Iowa Hawkeye Fans - This is Why Iowa is the #1 Party School

Iowa was recently named the #1 party school in the U.S.  I live in Iowa and have spent a few nights over in Iowa City partying my butt off.  Not a bad place to party, but nothing beats University of Texas and 6th Street...But I digress.  

This chick is lucky to be alive!  An Iowa Hawkeye football fan named Samantha Goudie who happens to go by @vodka_samm on Twitter (how appropriate!) was arrested last Saturday at the University of Iowa Football game.  Samantha tried to jump the fence and run onto the field while the game was going on.  The Univ. of Iowa police arrested her and gave her the breath test.  She blew a .341!!!  DAMN!!!  Most people would be dead at that level.  That is over 4 times the legal limit!!!  

Here's the University of Iowa's police report:

Goudie, Samantha Lynne, 22 of Iowa City, IA for Public Intox at Kinnick Stadium at 1321 hours. Goudie was stopped for trying to enter the field. Goudie was unsteady on her feet. Goudie blew .341 PBT.

She then proceeded to Tweet about the incident. Via Deadspin

I am sure she made her parents proud.  She sure is going to be a great wife someday.  She should try and hook up with Charlie Sheen.  They were made for each other.  And think of her kids.  This shit will be online 20, 30 years from now.  Her kids will google or bing her and this shit is gonna come up!  

What Does it Say About American Society...

...when Walmart actually has this sign at their entrance?  Isn't this something that should be second nature for people?  WOW!!!  I have had two kids and I never ever forgot them.  Even if they were sound asleep, I knew they were there.  I was so paranoid, I would regularly double check the back seat even if I knew they weren't there, just to be sure.  Come on People!!!

You Know It Is Time to Defriend When...

There is no doubt that Facebook is fun and probably here to stay (at least for the foreseeable future).  I have found many old friends and made new ones via Facebook.  But, There can be a dark evil side to Facebook.  Yes, evil things are happening on Facebook everyday.  There are way too many people who spam our news feeds every day with crap about Farmville or Frontiersville, etc.  Then there are those who are prolific picture posters.  They post photos of their vacations, parties, etc. that we really don’t want to see (Yes, I am guilty of the family vacation pics, I probably have over 100 from Colorado -- But I am talking about the people who post about 20 or 30 pics every single day!!!)  No one wants to be defriended and most of us really don't want to do it.  Defriending someone on Facebook is a measure of last resort, but here are some reasons you might have to go there.

7.  They’re spamming your phone

Like many Facebook users, I like to check my account via phone when I’m bored. And while it’s easy to block peoples’ statuses from your news feed, the iPhone and Blackberry Facebook applications won’t let you. The mobile app also has a tendency to show the same dumb Mafia and Farmville spam over and over again, taking up the entire application and rendering your news feed useless. So if someone’s playing those games and your phone is the victim, feel free to defriend them.

6.  They keep commenting on your posts

We all make Facebook statuses to get comments and reactions. But it’s hard to get other peoples’ thoughts when you have one Facebook friend who’s always the first person to comment on your statuses no matter what. You try to post updates at different times of day, but he always gets there first — it’s like he never logs out.  And he always posts something that kind of turns everyone else off from posting.  If you just can’t get him to stop, you gotta defriend.

5.  They keep commenting on OTHER peoples’ posts

Let’s say this girl just posted on your wall to say hey. Let’s say you’re psyched about that. Let’s say one of your douchebag Facebook friends comments on her wall post saying “hey dude, is this the girl you were telling me about?” Defriend, defriend, defriend.

4.  They’re strangers

“Oh, cool, Alex just got a new car and he’s really happy that it’s Friday… hold on a second, who the Hell is Alex?” When you find yourself wondering how you know somebody or if you really know them at all, it’s time to defriend.  (I have over 900 friends and I think I personally have met most of them.  They were either my students, High School friends, friends from my travels, family members, etc.)  There are a few of you, my loyal blog followers who have requested that I add you and If I know you are a Ramblings Blog Reader, I will add you.  Other than that, I try to stay away from strangers (even the hot looking ones because they are usually guys anyway.)  

3.  They keep sending you event invites

It’s one thing if you have a cool party or show or performance that you want people to come check out. If you want to organize a special event, then by all means, invite people on Facebook. But when you have a radio show that goes on every single week at the same exact time and you keep sending me weekly invitations, you are going to get defriended. Or if you want to remind your group that there is practice every Sunday night, then just send the invite to your group members, not to everyone.  DEFRIEND!!  Sorry, that is just the way it is.  

2.  Their statuses show a whole new side to them

Well, I thought I liked you until your Facebook status said you were going to go see “Dave” next weekend. Or you shared way too much information about your boy problems and now I can’t ever look at you the same way without thinking about that one thing he did with the ice cream and his finger.   Or your status is "Let's send all the Mexicans back home!"  If you are a creeper, a racist, have some weird or strange tastes or just a plain idiot -- Sorry, but we’re not friends anymore. 

1.  They are always posting incoherent things

Have you heard of spell check?  Or maybe you shouldn't post stuff when you are drunk.  Sometimes, I see things on my Facebook that make absolutely no sense at all.  When it becomes habitual and just about every post is like that, then DEFRIEND -- Lest your normal friends think you have idiot friends. =

There Are So Many Rude People Out There!

I ride the CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) trains to and from work almost everyday.  Lately, I have been noticing an increase in the number of rude people on the train.  Maybe they have been there all along and I am just noticing it now or maybe their rudeness is reaching new levels.  It pisses me off and at the same time, makes me sad.

Now not everyone on the trains are rude, but it seems like there are more and more each time I ride.  Some of them almost seem like they enjoy being rude. They do something and then I see a stupid smirk on their faces.

For example, there are always one or two idiots that are the first ones to get on but stop right in front of the door when there is a huge line behind them and plenty of room on the rest of the car, but they want to get the best place for their stop.  STUPID!!! It just makes a traffic jam and then people start throwing elbows, etc.  I actually saw a shoving match turn into a fight the other day.  Officers came and broke it up.  The train took off with officers talking to both of them on the platform.  Hope they got arrested! 

There are also the people that carry on obnoxiously loud conversations on the train, either on the phone or with someone next to them.  Seriously people, you don't need to be screaming into a phone or to the person sitting right next to you.  You may think you are important, but not everyone wants to hear your conversation.

And perhaps the most annoying of all are the people that are sitting downwhen an elderly person or a pregnant woman is standing next to them and they don't give their seat up.  I make it a point to give my seat up to anyone who looks like they need it more than I do. I hope that there is a special place in hell for those of you that make an elderly person or pregnant woman stand on a crowded train while you are sitting.

Thanks for letting me Rant!!!
