I've come to a realization: REM was right and I'm finally on board (anyone who knows me at all knows I'm anti-fad and I'm always a little behind the power curve. So while everyone else gets on board with something in 2004, I might make my appearance in early 2008). Here are the top ten signs that we're all about to kill ourselves off:
1. Common sense seems to have taken a permanent leave of absence from about 98% of the population.
2. People have stopped investigating anything and instead just blindly believe whatever they're told.
3. Students have suddenly become elitist and entitled. "I pay for this class, doesn't that mean I should pass it with flying colors while I do nothing, show up only sporadically, text while you're talking, and roll my eyes every time you call on me?" Uh . . . . NO.
4. Reality TV watchers think that what they're seeing is actual reality. It's not . . . . nor will it ever be.
5. Texas universities shut down for an entire week because of snow and ice.
6. It snows and ices every year here in Texas yet the city doesn't own one salt truck, one sand truck, or even have snow plows that can attach to the city trucks in our time of need. Uh . . . . if it snows every year and every year the city shuts down for days on end, buy a freaking snow plow and some salt!
7. Paris Hilton is somehow still famous. For nothing.
8. I can hold my phone up to my face and see live shots of Italy while talking on skype on my wifi app. Obviously the machines are about two nanoseconds away from taking over the world.
9. Beam me up technology is clearly still being kept secret and we're all a slave to TSA and endless flights and stinky passengers who have BO and fart in our directions. Gross.
10. Google books is trying to take all the real books away from us. I still say you understand something 20x better when you can hold it in your hand and write on it.
