The Arrogant Italian

So, transferring a domain from one registrant to another sucks.  4 phone calls, and a week and a half later.  I finally have this site over the on dreamhost!!! Welcome!

Does common courtesy not even exist anymore?  I was in the union today and I got some lunch from BK.  When I got in line, about 5 tables where available so I didn’t think I would have any problem once I got my food.

After ordering and receiving my foot I turned around to find that no tables where available, while walking around I found that any tables were being taken by one person who wasn’t eating.  Why do you need to be in the food court to work on your laptop.  WTF?  I will admit I have done that before, but never when all tables are full.  If you see someone trying to find a table and you are all alone at a table not eating wouldn’t it be appropriate to give up your table for someone who would use it correctly?

Also, if you only have 4 people at your table, you don’t need two tables.  I saw A group of 4, at two tables (room for 8 ) when they would have fit perfectly fine at a table built for, oh my god, 4 people.  Pay attention and don’t be an ass hole. 

Now is the season for political commercials. I personally hate them, does anyone really base their vote on this crap? Lord help us if they do.

All I have to say is SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! I will watch a debate, I will read your press releases, but unless you can say it in front of your competitors, don’t say it at all. I think political advertisements should be limited to <25% of all commercials. I’m just glad that this election season I have a DVR!

So, school started this week, its going to be a long semester. (I’m taking 4 classes, ouch). Here is the problem that came to my attention this week: There is a brand new building where all of your professors offices are, Engineering 3 (I refuse to call it the Harris building). The thing is, of my 4 classes 2 are in the old Engineering 1 building. Now your probably thinking “Ok, so, they ran out of room for classes in the new building”. But no, while my classes are going on, classes from the college of nursing are being held in the new rooms in ENG III!!! Why couldn’t they put the nurses in the old moldy building and put us in the new building which would be more convenient not only for my professors, but for me as well. Also, aren’t the nursing offices in HPA? wouldn’t ENG I be closer? Whatever I just think its crap, our department payed for the building, why can’t be get first dibs?!

So, fuck drivers! I was going to lunch today, and some guy in a giant truck pulled out in front of me and didnt get to speed, like at all. He didnt cut me off, there would have been plenty of room, if he had just accelerated to speed. He was driving a truck, but still, I shouldn’t have to slam on my brakes for your dumb ass cause you dont know the gas from the brake.

This was not an isolated incedent, this happens all the time to me.

If you are going to pull into traffic, don’t be an ass hole, and if you are on a phone, dont get madd when I honk and flip you the bird. I’m not the best driver, but I at least try to be aware of the traffic arround me, and I try not to be a dick, when I dont have to be.

So since when is Gay an offensive term. I am of course referring to a recent post I made in the UCF LiveJournal. which is run by a bunch of overly conservative individuals who are hypocritical to the point that they threatened to ban me from the community if I did not remove the word form my post.

This is the post in question:

Hey Everyone,
Just wondering if anyone know the like discount coupon code for ticket master for the UCF v. Tulsa game on the 20th. I know the one for the Texas game was like “brighthouse” or something gay, but I don’t know if one even exists for this one. Its kinda lame that I have to spend $35 to get my brother in so he can sit in the student section… figured I would ask.

The thread went somthing like this:

Only morons or twelve year olds on Xbox Live use the term “gay” as a replacement for lame. Edit your post or I’m killing it and banning you for a week.

Thanks,

Management

And to elaborate and add to this to the OP…

Editing your post with *** to replace gay is no edit at all.

If you’re using it in place of “lame” or “stupid”, say those words.

and finally the best of them all

And the way you edited it there isn’t cute.

I’m deleting this.

And if you repost it, we’ll ban you.

Im leaving the posters names off in purpose of course. So the question now becomes, what right do they have to censor me? I honestly thought the first post was a joke, so I jokingly changed the word “gay” to “***”. then it just grew from there so instead of actually changing it to something else I just censored myself, changing “***” to “<insert non-offensive term here>”.

Does anyone really find my use of the word gay in this case offensive? How does he know that I was not using it to mean “happy”. And since when is a Live journal community like a communist country?

Needless to say I had to post everything here, because they removed my post, so if you have any info on the original post, or any comments on the thread that followed I would love to hear them.
