Man, another thing Ive noticed alot of on the college scene....razor scooters. Oh you know what im talking about, those little portable scooter things with the roller blade wheels. These things have got to be the lamest idea in transportation technologies ever. How can any self respecting individual dare to mount one of these contraptions. No thanks, I ll walk. My favorite is the people cruising on these down the huge ass hill on our campus, never looking at all in control and trying to pretend like the little stand on the rear wheel break thing would come close to stopping them if they needed to. These hip little trendy modes of transport are all over the place man. And why not?? have you seen the commercials for these contraptions? They've got these kids at skate parks or what have you on the little scooters doing crazy "EXTREME!!!" tricks and such. How in the hell?!?! Sorry G, but theres no way you're coming off looking "extreme" or even remotely half-assed respectable on a razor scooter. Id even have to give roller blades the extreme nod over the razor scooters, and thats pretty low. Anytime I see someone sporting around campus on one of these mean machines I just want to yell, "Hey you guy!! What in the hell are you doing?!?! You look like an Idiot!!!!" and then I want to throw a stick at them, knock them over and beat some sense into them with their hundred dollar scooter. On the plus side they now have the roller attachment on the bottom so you can get over curbs and such. Hell yeah. Not only that, but they have the "wheelie bar" and "Disco light up wheels" so you can look super cool in front of your friends..(assuming that you have friends, which you probably dont if you have a razor scooter).

Hey, guy !! you look like an idiot!!!! man, it just doenst get anymore extreme than . jumping honda civics with a razor scooter.
Yet another irritating aspect of the college scene are the cell phones. Yeah theyre everywhere now, but at least in high school you weren't allowed to have them at school. Not a damn day goes by that some dumb ass doesn't have his or her phone go off interrupting class. And long gone are the days of normal phone rings and such. We've evolved to the fight songs for over 200 colleges, or major symphonies in all their never-ending digital annoyance. Whats best is that some people just pretend like its not their phone and let it go. So the entire lecture hall is treated to the musical stylings of digital musical mastery for about five minutes straight till the jackass on the other end decides to hang-up. Almost as good are the people who answer the phone and proceed to carry on conversations and such. How in the hell?!?!? Is it so hard to turn of your damn phone for an hour? Or refrain from talking to you "homies" for just a brief period of time? Hey Suess. Another glorious benefit of these things are people trying to talk on them while walking to class. holy shit. Apparently walking and talking to a little box is more difficult than it looks. If another doof on a cellphone runs into me while im walking somewhere I swear im going to politely say "excuse me"!!! As if people driving and talking on phones weren't bad enough, now I have to deal with this crap walking down the street. god damn.

But wait, the ranting doesn't stop there. I swear if another professor uses the terms "is that your final answer?" "Lets phone a friend," "Lets ask the audience" or any variation of, Im going to quietly sit there and think about how much of a tool they are. I'll bet everyone will think you're hip, fresh, and funny if you spout out heinously worn pop culture catch phrases at us. Yeah man. Yeah. The Millionaire thing has run its course. Not that I have anything against winning a million just for knowing some random facts, but seriously, I bet it'll be cool if you attempt to perpetuate Regis's annoying persona in the classroom too, cuz lord knows I cant get enough of that crap on the TV. But the pop-culture cliché's dont stop there my friend, oh no, not by along shot. It seems that there are those among us who still will refuse to let the huge election ruckus of 2000, or 'WHO THE HELL CARES!' as I like to call it, thing go. Its over people, big George W is already in office. That means that yelling, "We want a recount" at sporting events when your team is losing, or when getting back exams, lab reports etc. is by no means funny or original any longer. Not that it would've been funny 4 months ago when all that crap was going down anyways.
 STOP THE PAIN.
