The laws regarding alcohol consumption and purchase have been modified in the past many times. There has been numerous articles of legislation pushed to reinforce the values that people under the age of twenty-one should not drink. The United States has the highest age requirement to purchase and consume alcohol. Three other countries have the same age requirements as the U.S. these countries include: South Korea, Malaysia, and the Ukraine. The purchase and consumption of alcohol should remain the right of a legal adult in the United States. When a teenager turns into an eighteen year old that person is forced to be held accountable for all actions. If they are responsible enough to take immediate accountability for their actions then why is it that person cannot purchase alcohol legally? The legal age of purchasing and consumption of alcohol should be eighteen.

Why I can’t stand country music
Posted in Article, lol with tags alcohol, country, jesus, kid rock, redneck, sellout, sex, stupid on September 8, 2008 by dogman91Ok, for all of you who like country music: stop reading. I personally can’t stand it. Why? because I think they’re all sellouts and their music is stupid. Literally, 90% of the music country “artists” (kind of an oxymoron) produce can be grouped with one of a few themes, some fit with several.
1. Alcoholism. yes, good old moonshine. I can’t count how many country songs i’ve heard about getting drunk! and I don’t even listen to country music when I can help it! WAAAY too many songs are about boozin’ it up, whether alone or at a bar
2. “My woman/man left me :’-( ” usually because one or more of the involved party cheated on the other. or reason number 1 (see Alcoholism). Seriously… If you screwed up that bad, maybe you should just get over it and find someone who got dropped on their head as a child, just like you.
3. Jesus. Now I have absolutely no problem with religion or religious songs. but… how many country songs are about jesus? Once again: i have no problem with religion. I respect it. But the theme is overused in country music! honestly, there is a genre of christian music… you could sing that without adding annoying twangy vocals and the same accoustic guitar! A final time: this is in no way anti-religious
4. Sex. Now I’m sure you don’t need any help with this… but who wants to imagine 2 snaggle-tooth rednecks doing the horizontal mambo wearing cowboy hats? Show of hands please. There’s waaaay too many country songs about doing the nasty. I realize other genres use this theme as well and it’s overused there too, country just happens to be my least favorite.
5. ”It’s ok (and in some circles cool!) to be a redneck!” Now I’m not saying that everyone who listens to country music is an inbred snaggle-tooth uneducated moron. Not at all… and there are plenty of farmers who aren’t this way and plenty of southern people who like country music who don’t exhibit any of the symptoms i’ve described. I’m talking about the downright hillbillies who make you cringe everytime they say “HOWDEE” and wave their obnoxiously large cowboy hats at you! This theme is meant as a self esteem boost to these kinds of people who may (or may not depending on location) have been shunned by the majority of their local population.
6. Love… nothing particularly wrong with this. Overused yes but hey, what can you do?
Now my theory for why the vast majority of country songs fit into these categories is because country singers know their audience! Yes they know that a very large portion of their listeners fit one or more of these categories and like the twangy redneck singing style. Soooo to get the most money out of their twisted wrung on the musical evolutionary ladder, they make most of their songs fit into one of these categories so they can attract more listeners rather than show some originality in their work. In fact if i had to guess, I’d say there’s probably a group of underground country musicians that sing about being racists just so they can get the racist white person listeners. But you have to know the right people to get ahold of that, it’s a carefully guarded secret.
And then there’s the new Kid Rock song. Wow, just wow…. it combines the sex and alcoholism theme while throwing in another one! MARIJUANA! yaaaay! It’s simply disgraceful that this can even pass as music! In fact the instrumental is just a mix of Warren Zevon’s “Werwolves of London” and Lenyrd Skinard’s “Sweet Home Alabama” (excuse the spelling mistakes) REAL ORIGINAL ASSHOLE! And then there’s a line where he “wishes he could see that girl again” FOR FUCK’S SAKE, THERE’S WAYS TO FIND PEOPLE OVER THE INTERNET! Welcome to the twenty-first century you prick!
Well that’s all I got for now. Till later, dogman91

Why Sleep IS Awesome
Posted in Article with tags awesome, sleep on August 15, 2008 by TravisThis past summer I worked 50 hour work weeks. Monday to Friday from 5:30 AM to 4:00 PM. With Saturday and Sunday off. I recently quit that job, but when I was working there I got on average six or seven hours of sleep on weekdays. Now this is something I definitely was not used to, especially since I like staying up late. Having to get up at 4:30 AM to get ready for work is killer when your bedtime used to be one or two in the AM. I quickly adjusted though and got through it. I always looked forward to the weekend so I could sleep in until noon.
After quitting work, I quickly slipped back into my old routine of staying up until 2 or so in the morning and sleeping in until noon. I have come to the conclusion that uninhibited sleep is fucking awesome.
