The Latest, and Two Opinions

My parents gave up meat for lent, making them pescetarians. Pretty respectable. I gave up pizza, a commitment which I almost forgot yesterday night in Adam's Morgan outside jumbo slice.

The other night I had a dream in which I had a haircut, which is so far from my reality the past 6-8 months that it was pretty out there. It probably had something to do with the fact that 30% of my close friends volunteer the opinion that I need a haircut every time I see them.

It turns out I don't need to have my wisdom teeth pulled over spring break. In turn, I think I'm headed to NYC at some point over the week to hit up Supreme, hopefully some Big East games at Madison Square Garden, and other sick destinations that you couldn't find in DC.

Fiery, passion-filled opinions:
1) The other day at my mentoring/babysitting job the 14 year old I look after was watching a Disco Channel program featuring Steve Irwin and attack dogs. These dogs were dirty; trained to use their sharp teeth and attack humans in the groin?! Sounds pretty fucking awful if you ask me. Dogs are supposed to be man's best friend, and in turn our no-good police force takes them and brutalizes them to be an enemy. Isn't this something the Nazis did? Shouldn't that somehow reinforce how inhumane it is?

2) I was having a discussion the other day with some friends regarding the scene from Jackass where one of the members dresses up like a fairy and then becomes the "meter fairy" urban legend. Our justice system is really stupid and greedy in that this practice is illegal. How can any basic moral code be established if our own laws prohibit us from literally "helping thy neighbor" ? The indisputable root of the problem, as few would like to admit, is capitalism. The same people who pound consumerism into our heads make our laws, which is reflected by the aforementioned policy. After all, it is much more profitable to hand out tickets and ruin people's days than it is to have everyone pay their meter. Screw that
