Be Cool. Stay in School.

I enjoy time alone. Time spent with just myself. It gives me time to reflect on my day, my ideas, my thoughts, my life. Tonight was one of those nights. My roommate scored a free ticket to the Brad Paisley concert, so she enjoyed that. Now, I'm not jealous that she got to go to the concert and I didn't. Frankly, (can I call you Frank?) I'm not a huge country fan. I like some here and there and Brad is great and all, but I was alright not going. Friday night TV really isn't that bad. "Holes" was on, which is a movie I have never seen all the way though and, honestly, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I watched bits and pieces of many other movies, all the while checking email, facebook, changing my myspace layout and song (that takes a lot longer than it should. It just all has to 'go' and i'm picky). While perusing facebook, I stumbled upon some of my old college friends. "Old College Friends," you ask? Well, not as in they're old in age, but that I just don't talk to them anymore. Then again, they don't talk to me either. The phone does go two ways I suppose *wink wink.* I looked at pictures of graduation, dinner parties, random wal-mart runs that are o-so fun and important in college. Though I am still technically in college, it really does not feel like it. Not like it did when I first entered. I don't live in the dorms, I don't have to eat in the Caf (or Gano..thank goodness!), but worst of all, I don't get to see my friends on a regular basis. That is something I truly do miss.

Now, enough of that Downer Debbie! As i was watching wonderful Friday night TV programing I stopped upon my ole faithful...E! ah E! It has gotten me through some tough times. We're BFF! The Daily 10 was on and words such as "Uber," "Girlisious," and "Prego" were mentioned. Now, I'm all for making up silly words that would never exist but are funny to say, but to actually use these words on a regular basis? Really? Come on. Uber, meaning super, just sounds ignorant. The word "Uber" is actually a german word. The fact that English speaking people use this word along side English words just makes them sound ignorant. No reason to mix two languages, especially when the word is used incorrectly. Girlisious, meaning..who in the world knows?!?! Perhaps a play off of Bootylisious. Again, not a word. Fabulous. Gorgeous. These words are acceptable when speaking of Girls. but to make up a word like "Girlisious" then try to act like it is a real word by naming a TV show after it...not acceptable. Prego, meaning pregnant. This is is almost acceptable except for the fact that it is a type of tomato sauce that I usually put on my bow tie pasta. If a word is going to be used for pregnant at least use "preggers." I will admit, I've said it before. Not very intelligent sounding, but sometimes we all just get lazy.

So, in conclusion, take advantage of "you" time. Spend time thinking and reflecting on your day. Also, don't make up stupid words that mean the same thing as words we already have. The English language is hard enough already, even for us natives, so let's not make it even more difficult.

Peace. Love. Education.
