I need some suggestions. My Netflix queue is currently running thin and I want some suggestions for movies to watch. I don't really care what genre, just as long as its good. So let me know.
On another note, there is a movie that I really want to see. Its called "Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil." It was released a year or so ago, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. For those of you who haven't seen the trailer, here it is. Enjoy!

Looking Too Good For My Own Good
I am wearing a suit. Well, not exactly a "suit" but a pair of nice pants, a dress shirt, a tie, and the vest that goes with my suit. So basically a suit.
I must admit, I look awesome right now. Not that I don't normally or anything, just more awesome than normal.
It has been scientifically proven that when you wear a suit (or anything that makes you look good) you have more confidence, and therefore perform better in most social situations, including (but not limited to) school, work, parties, etc. This is how I feel right now. I feel like I could do anything right now. Just my little tidbit from the day.

Classical Music
I forgot how much I love classical music. Every Wednesday and Friday, I sit out in front of the Indiana Public Radio studio in the Letterman Building while I wait for my next class. This is the time when I write my blogs as it gives me something to do while sitting here. During this time, IPR has a segment dedicated to classical music. I hear what is being played and it allows me to relax and remember a genre of music that most people have forgotten.

It's So Nice Out
The weather has made a turn for the better and I love it. I normally don't mind winter, but this year was just ridiculous. It probably had something to do with fact that I had to walk everywhere, but that's beside the point. I'm just glad that Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow and that spring is right around the corner.

I wish I lived in a place that allowed me to be more open in my opinions. For anyone that actually knows me, my opinions are probably a lot different than yours. I'm a much more liberal person than most of the Midwest likes to entertain and this causes me to butt heads with a large majority of the conservative population. Don't hate me for it. That's just who I am.
People tend to write me off from right off the bat as being one thing or another. I say one word and then I become vilified for what I think. For example, in the argument of abortion, I personally am Pro-Choice. However, this does not mean that I support abortions. My stance is that the government should not be the ones to make the decision on this discussion. Rather, it should be the choice of those who it directly affects. The problem arises when I attempt to explain my position. Most people hear the words "Pro-Choice" and they immediately hate me. I understand that while we may not agree on the subject, at least give me a chance to explain myself.
My opinion is my opinion. Respect that. It may not be your opinion, but it is mine. If you really have that big of a problem with what I have to say, then don't listen.

The annoyances of being a single male in a world of females in relationships.
People never listen to me. They should, but they don't. I generally offer pretty good advice but unfortunately, it often times has to deal with things that they recipient doesn't want to hear, but are true. I even get people that come to me for advice and they still ignore it and almost every time, I end up being right. There is no better example of this than the numerous girls who come to me with problems with their boyfriend/boy-toy/friend with benefits/crush/etc.
For some reason, every girl thinks that I am the perfect person to listen to their relationship troubles. They come to me for advice and I tell them how I feel. On more than one occasion, I have had friends come to me talking about how their boyfriend does not treat them the way that he should. I have had friends who have dated physically-abusive boyfriends, guys who have cheated on them, and about every other situation you can think of. They come to me for advice and I tell them to break up. Do they? No. They continue to date the things that are causing so much grief in their lives.
Whats even more annoying is that I inevitably get a response that irks me even more. "I wish I dated a guy like you." THEN WHY DON'T YOU?! All of these girls are obviously smart enough to identify that their relationships have problems and that they deserve better, but they do absolutely nothing about it. So instead of me being in a nice, committed relationship, I'm stuck here just listening to the problems that everyone else has.
However, nothing even COMPARES to the sort of annoyance I get from women than that of the bitter ex. For example, I follow one of my good friends on Twitter and she recently (like 2 months ago) broke up with her boyfriend for some reason relating to him not treating her right (which I applauded her for doing.) However, little did I know that she would still be so bitter about it. For the past 2 months, my Twitter feed has been assaulted by how awful he is. Seriously? Move on. In addition to that, she keeps commenting on how the next relationship she gets into will be with someone who treats her well. But has she done anything about that? Nope. Instead, she just keeps posting depressing (and annoying) tweets.
Women need to understand that life is not like it is in romance films. There is no Prince Charming that will sweep her off of her feet, no knight in shining armor to come and save her from the perils that are the male gender, and there definitely is no moment that is in ANY Nicholas Sparks novel. At the same time, men need to realize that women should be treated with respect and compassion, not as arm candy.
Obviously, there is a lot that everyone needs to work on, but it looks like until we get to that point, I will just be stuck here being the advice column that nobody reads.

I Need Suggestions
Last night, my roommate and I decided to make some music. Using our friend's keyboard, we decided to create some hip-hop beats that we could give to some of the other guys on the floor. However, after we tried our hand at producing out own beats, we thought about sampling a song. Any suggestions for what we should use?

NO CLASS!! Thank Snowpocalypse for that one.
Thursday February 3rd
We finished the intensive reviews today. The entire class was spent discussing the different papers from the remaining authors. That's really about it.
