The Things You Learn . . .

OK, so I've been slacking a bit, so time to get caught up on some of my more recent travels. I was going to talk about some of the things in Boston going on lately, or maybe something about what to do this spring. Maybe a bit about my recent trip to Pennsylvania. Yeah, I think I'll start there, but not something about what to do or where to go. I'll save that for another time. No, this time I'll tell you some of the things I learned while I was there. . .

First, there is nothing funnier (and I mean in a cute, sweet way) than seeing a four big, tough looking New York guys sit down at the bar to have some . . . sushi, complete with chopsticks and bibs. And of course gushing over how "amazing their sushi is here." Love it!

Apparently, it is possible to be a vampire and a werewolf at the same time. And on top of that, this person can also move things with their mind and start fires, with their mind. Now, if this person says they are going to commit suicide by starving, who will be affected? If you were to stop drinking blood, then the vampire would be unhappy, but the others would live. If you gave up regular human food, then is blood still on the menu. And as far as the werewolf? Now, I've watched Being Human plenty of times, and I've never seen George able to stop the werewolf from chowing down on a stag now and then. So how do you stop the werewolf from eating? But then that still leaves the "Mitchell/vampire" end of things: he's had quite the problem giving up blood as well. Oh, and of course I am rather curious about what happens on a full moon. What is a werewolf-vampire really like? Just curious.

This one is probably the most important to me: I found that there are people out there who don't know what a mosh pit is. That on its own is not a problem, but it was the statements made after that realization that were the problem. I was told by a student that the class is an advanced physics class, so therefore they wouldn't know about such things. First of all, intelligence should not preclude you from listening to good music, EVER! Second, stereotyping people and judging them based on the music they listen to does show a certain lack of intelligence and should be avoided at all costs. If you don't understand the music, that is fine, but don't assume they are not intelligent for listening to something that you don't get.

OK, musical rant over. I think next time I'll write about some things to do this spring. Talk to you later, and keep traveling! :)
