Sobriety's been interesting; I won't drink enough beer to get me buzzed, and anything "harder" is a non-option. Sadly this does not extend to caffeine and nicotine at the moment, but I've heard tell that experts are working on the problem.My resolution for 2004 is going to be refusing to indulge in sobriety. Woo hoo!
Also, at least 85% of all edible food will never be eaten by me.
I have not smoked a cigarette for.... 7 years. And I have no intention of ever doing so again.
smoking drugs tatoos jackass: the movie reality tv with the exception of the mole
uh...
heroin.
beatiality is it bad that that's all i can come up with?
oh wait wait wait...
vote republican ok now.
that should say
beastiality
Even though I'm not a college student anymore...I thought it looked real stupid to fly to mexico, spend my parents money, act like an idiot, get a STD, and get so drunk that I wouldn't remember the whole experience of going on a "college spring break". You can fight me on this, but I just don't see the point of doing something like that when you have the possibility of doing something useful with your time off. People go off to "Spring Break" to escape school, but in reality you are just going to a bigger frat party. You've drank all semester, now let's go drink with other universities. Figure that one out.I also will never indulge in hash/weed/pot. I was once told that drug users are weak people who can't deal with their lives and lack self-confidence (was that from a 50's PSA?). Would you like to think of yourself as a weak person or a strong person? It's funny how a plant can ruin someone's life. People sometimes use drugs to fit in, but what's cool about fitting in? I never that it was cool to be like somebody else. No more preaching.
If I listed all the things I won't do, I'd break my computer. I'm a square.

-i have lists and lists of things. to name a few major ones:-
-anything with vinegar in it. anything.-
even redvinegar?
if it is the liquid red vinegar.
Fried food. Red meat, working on meat in general. 99% of country music. Movies with Pauly Shore, Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler. Scary movies (too prone to nightmares). Infidelity. Smoking. Drugs. MTV.My list has gotten much longer than it used to be!
its tough to find something that i absolutely REFUSE to do, but there are things i shy away from when possible. some of them are:
- television - i might catch an episode of something every once in a while, but i try not to. and its super easy. you just get up and turn it off, and grab a book. much better that way, in my opinion.
- drugs - every once in a great while i hit the peace pipe, but nothin else. we're talking rare here.
- paying for a haircut - if i can't find someone to do it for me, i'll let it grow. or buy clippers and shave it if it gets that bad. i refuse to pay KostKutters to chop away.
- i try not to lie. i try to be as forthright and honest and up front as i can. if people don't like what i think or say, im big enough to handle that. still, i can't say im 100% here, which bothers me.
- blockbuster - they blow, pure and simple. i really hate going there.
- ketchup, pickles, olives,raw onions, heineken, beck's, miller lite, rolling rock, abercrombie&fitch, the clash, DMB, trite phrases, stupid tshirts, bands that 'sound like radiohead', using 'emo' seriously, valet parking, wicker park, cottage cheese, swiss cheese, clothing for animals, other stuff...
Well, ulyssess, you shouldn't knock it till you've tried it. Or that is what I hear from some aquintances in the southern hemisphere. Someone told me that one of the major differnces between Americans and happy people was that Americans were so concerned with what other people thought that they were afraid to enjoy themselves. He happend to be speaking of the joys of getting a goat from behind. So Connyisland81 if you really hold so much disdain for fitting in in Michigan, why not go find a sheep pasture?what do I refuse to partake in? It's hard to say. I would eat anything served to me even if it makes me ill which it usually does.
I try not to indulge in tv or movies but ocationally I visit someone who owns the technology and seeing as they usually rely heavily on the mind numbing effects I end up being exposed to them also.
I sometimes say I refuse to partake in the christian religion, but my family is so religious that it's impossible to have any relations with them and not be contaminated, so once again I am weak.
I try not to buy meat, but everyonce and a while I succumb to a 99cent whopper.
I have thought refusing to use petrolium products, slave labor, child labor, and nuclear energy, but it would be impossible to live in the united states without enjoying the fruits of these evils almost every second.
I once wanted to never set foot again on war gotten land, but I finally realized it doesn't exist.
I once said I would never smoke a cigarette. Then I turned 18 and bought a pack on my birthday. I quit 9 and 1/2 years later, but hand me a lit fag and i'll smoke it today.
I am thinking about refusing to indulge in the diner.
Beer that I can see through.
Small talk... at least I try.
Web "surfing"... even though it's my job.
Jam band music... Phish, Strangefolk, etc...
Television, except the weather channel
Everyone bangs Goats from behind...it's a farming commmunity. I'd be fitting in.Ontonogon is cool, stay out of Watersmeet.
that everyone in farming communitieis "bang goats from behind". sheesh.
I joke alot....I'm from a farming community...
i felt salt and vinegar chips deserved a special mention on my list. even though it's obvious they contain vinegar. i dislike even their presence.and i also left off olives.
these days i try to avoid saying the phrase "do you need room for cream in your coffee?" it might be the worst thing i've ever had to say.
not all farming communities have/had goats to "bang from behind".
hittin a little too close to home there pedro? just kiddin man. i'd bang a goat from behind if I was from Duluth/Superior...
please difer all "hitting a goat from behind" talk here.
Tomatoes. I hate them and their texture. But what i don't get are straight edge kids (sXe) Why base your entire existence around something you cannot have? It doens't make any damn sense. So I stay away from them too.
it was born out of kids taking Ian McKaye too seriously when he wrote the song 'Straight Edge'. he was singing about having an edge, or advantage, because he was straight. it was something he believed for himself, but he wasn't trying to start a movement. unfortunately, it became a tenet of a faction of hardcore. and a militant one at that. it's dumb. living your life defined by what you are not is not a life at all.
- Television (well, 99.9% of it)
- McDonalds
- Did I say Television?
names 50 sound recordings to the inaugural national recording registry.blahblahblah
"50. "The Message." Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. (1982) Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five was a pivotal group in the early days of rap, developing crucial aspects of the genre. Their 1982 hit, "The Message," is significant because of its focus on urban social issues -- a course followed by many later rappers."
I don't know about you guys, but i think that the library of congress is one of the greatest national treasures we have, even greater that our children. Everything that is really important you can find in the LOC. It makes me happy that this song was listed, because even though it's around twenty years old, it's still really good. I heard about this on NPR this morning.
sorry about that, i got so excited that i didn't bother to put this in the correct forum. I'm too lazy though to repost it, so it's going to be a Bernie exclusive.
This sucks...I was hoping "She's Only Seventeen" by Winger would finally get it's due.Who is Bernie?
Bernie is the waitress at what was formerly george's, which is the restaurant that this bbs is modeled after. Most of us went ot North Park University and hung out at George's, I for one have been going there since I was 5, and my dad hung out there when he went to school at North Park, good times. I will try almost anything, although 'hitting a goat from behind' would remind me too much of Tony, and I miss him so... ahem anyway, I think there are few things I wouldn't try, but there are several things I don't like, like all forms of gourds, except pumpkin pie which is heaven. I like meat, tv, movies, christianity, treading on war torn soil, petrolium products (especially jelly), tomatoes, definitely olives, and vinegar, and mustard, and most things poeple have mentioned in this list of things they don't like, interesting, does that make me a Tastytronic counter culteralist?
Cause my name is Bernie as well...for a split second I thought I may have made someone mad...glad that has been cleared up...Thanks BigJ.
...what a heart that she had!
Bernie... um, Bernie.
she's dopetastic!
daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me
