Rambling Rumblings about Student Government, Football, and Food.

It’s been so long since I’ve posted in this thing, and even though I have a midterm coming up, I know you all miss me so damn much…so I’ve decided to calm the masses by posting again. OK, that last line is so much bullshit, but whatever, there’s a good bit to talk about, and all in random order.

• The libraries seem to be a little more packed than usual, even for an exam week. Which leads to my next subject…
• …I don’t care about SG elections anymore. If the opposition doesn’t want to put in a full-fledged effort, then they don’t deserve the 1.5 hours I spend actually looking at platforms and seeing which are more viable. If you really must care, it’s the same old song: extended library hours, some weird new platform issue, yadda yadda yadda. I haven’t seen a “Student Party” person outside Turlington…and anyway they just stick to themselves. I’ve seen Unite people actually go up to people and at least try to carry conversations and shake hands with people. You might not like Unite, but they still at least are trying to make it LOOK like it’s not a monopoly. Here’s a hint: approach some people. Most of them don’t bite, I swear. Heck, if you actually approached some Greek folk, they might actually warm up to you too.
• Speaking of which, what kind of f**king name is “Student Party”? Obviously originality isn’t in what I’ll just generalize as “the opposition”‘s repertoire. Here’s a thought: CHANGING NAMES A MULTITUDE OF TIMES WITHIN A FEW SEMESTERS WON’T GET YOU SHIT. Students, at best, get confused. If I hear one whine come out of any member of the opposition, you’ll hear my lovely response here mainly because you guys didn’t put in ANY effort (not even a dog). (mainly because noone will see it).
• And by the way, you’re not fooling anyone with your logo. While it’s not a direct rip of UF’s current logo for their Facebook page, your logo is obviously as original as your name.
• In fact, I hope Unite wipes you clean. You guys were doing so well two years ago, you just had an immature candidate. Then last year you had a great candidate but the most discombobulated front ever. And now you just plain suck.
• OK enough election talk, I obviously still care about it…only enough to go on such a tirade. SushiCHAO, the next brainchild from the people who made Mochi and Bento, will be coming in October. This restaurant is basically the marriage of the Mochi ounce concept (seen in other yogurt places around the country obviously, but I’d like to think Mochi started it here) + Bento’s great (or mediocre) food. You pay a set amount per ounce of food…and there are take-out windows, and it’s open late. It’ll be the only late-opening Asian place on University, and will go head-to-head against other late-night eateries. I’m excited, to say the least.
• I’m anxious and nervous for the ‘Bama game. Our pass defense still looks anemic, although we have at least done a decent job containing the receivers…but they were against either cupcake teams or not-high-caliber SEC teams. ‘Bama is the obvious first major test…if we can pass them, then I truly think the sky’s the limit.
• With regards to the rest of college football…UCF, I have simply three words for you: you screwed up. You screwed up your only chance to join the Big East in a very convincing fashion by 1) losing to FIU 2) losing to BYU the way you did. I don’t think this means you WON’T get into the Big East…but if you do get in, it’s more of a desperation call from the conference rather than a “we’re impressed by you” call because the Big East, like every other conference minus the SEC seemingly, is hemorrhaging right now. As much as I hate to admit it, USF deserves possibly better.
• That’s really all for now. ::yawn::
