People

It has been a long held belief of mine that people are stupid. I truly believe that people are stupid, however persons may or may not be depending on the situation, but in general, people are stupid. For example, the ice storm. I had to go to Walmart to get some food for super bowl sunday because god knows if the time to do so would manifest itself later in the week, so I jumped on it. Big mistake. There were people everywhere and they were buying everything. The bread aisle was completely decimated and there were no goddamn bananas! Also, as a side note, why the hell does everyone find it pertinent to go a buy milk in a time of "crisis"? Everyone is gathering supplies and the item that seems to be on the list is milk. What the hell?! Milk is an extremely perishable item. Why would you stock up on milk?! Why not juice, or beer for god's sake? No, milk is the item of choice for people. Which, consequently, brings me back to my main point; people are stupid.

Architecture

For some reason I thought that Ball State was supposed to have a really good architecture program yet, when you look at the buildings on campus it looks like they have no clue what they are doing. Even in the architecture building itself the layout is dungeon-like and really inconvinient. Why is this?

Pot Roast

Through my mother I have discovered food gold and would like to share the wealth.

Pot roast:
1 beef or pork roast
1 large white onion
3 potatoes
6 whole carrots
Basil
Lawrys seasoning salt
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 cups water

Take the basil and Lawrys and rub on roast. chop onion and potatoes and place roast, chunked onion, and chopped potatoes in crock pot/slow cooker and set on high. Take can of soup and put on top of the roast. fill up the soup can with water and put two can fulls in the slow cooker. Let cook for 5 hours. Then peel and chop the carrots and after the 5 hours place in slow cooker and let it cook for two more hours.

Then the meal is done. You can shred the roast so as to make easier to serve, but you don't have to.

Tuck in and enjoy!

Friends

Does anyone else find that they have too many friends? Well it's not that I have too many, but more like I have so many that I cannot give all of them the time that they deserve. What ends up happening is I tend to have a full social calendar for weeks in advance and if some of my friends make a surprise visit I find myself busy with another group of friends. Case in point, the other night I got a phone call from a good friend of mine from Indy. He said he was in town and wanted to hang out. Unfortunately I already had plans with another group of friends so I couldn't see him. It made me feel like a jackass knowing my friend came up here hoping to see me, but I was already committed elsewhere.

Judgment

I frequently find people telling me that they don't judge others. Personally I find this to be total bullshit. Judgment is a necessary part of life. We as intelligent beings can't help but judge others. Now you might find yourself saying that you try not to judge people, but let's face facts, we all do.
Before you get all defensive think about what judgment is and how you use it. If a stranger walked up to you in class or on the street and asked you for the time, what's the first thing you do? You judge them. You may be consciously grabbing for your phone or looking at the nearest clock, but like it or not the first thing you do is judge the stranger. Then after you tell them the time, or not,  you end up judging them again. Did you like them? Were they nice? Was that smell them? What were they wearing? Nice haircut... etc, etc. Judgment could potentially be bad especially when getting into stereotypes, but it is originally meant to be a good thing. It is meant to help protect us from bad situations and/or bad people. For example if someone walked up to you on the street and they were about to rob you, your judgment would tell you that something's not right.
I'm not saying that everyone's judgment is correct all the time, but think about how you yourself judge other people and how this effects your reaction to that person. Maybe you are judging that person unfairly. Maybe you give them more credit than they deserve. Either way judgment is a part of it.
