CU...Boulder Fire
So the fire in Four Mile Canyon today is a very unfortunate natural event - I sincerely hope damage to personal property has been minimized by the bravery of firefighters and by emergency responders who are trying to mitigate the effects of this wild land fire. That said, it doesn't mean I shouldn't give in to curiosity to see what it looked like after the sun set tonight.Well, apparently, I'm not the only asshole who went up Flagstaff to see what was going on - yes, now that I've come down from what was apparently one step away from a tailgate party, I consider myself an asshole for having gone up in the first place. It's also a case of "fool me once, shame on me; fool me twice..." since the last time I went up Flagstaff to witness nature at night (Leonid shower last year), I was met with a similar-style traffic jam - and before going up tonight, I thought it could possibly happen again, but I decided to go see anyways.
I couldn't count the number of idiotic comments spewed from developmentally stunted CU students once I got up to Realization Point. "Oh, wow, holy shit!" (most common), "Holy fucking shit!", "That's fucking legit!" (2nd most common...which is weird), "That's fully!", "Fuckin' gnar'!", "I wish I had brought beers, bro." And really - I couldn't count how many I heard, because counting them would've meant I had to listen to them rather than trying to completely block them out. But that's another problem, CU students also appear to have no shame in being some of the loudest people around, either. It's as though they don't understand the things they are saying - no, shouting - are among the vapid things a person could say. If they possessed any shame, surely they'd feel it uttering the things they think out loud. But I guess that is asking too much.
Oh, and just to clarify, I am also a CU student, which is why I'm so embarrassed by these idiots. I've lived in this town for a year now and I respect Boulder for what it is; in fact, I enjoy the shit out of this place. I was here over the summer and I can understand now the locals' moanings and groanings whenever the parade of tools emigrates back into town...it really does result in more facepalm moments once they return.
I've also met many intelligent, amicable people here at CU with whom you can actually have a great conversation with. In fact, I'd like to believe that most of the student body actually has more to say than gratuitous, watery garbage - and that it's only when they gather into groups that their need to socialize by whatever banal needs takes over and they turn into idiots...but I couldn't really say. All I know is that CU students say and do some of the dumbest fucking shit I've ever witnessed. IBF!
- about being single until you find yersuolf. What happened to growing with a person and going through your journey in life with a partner? I'm not sure how old you guys are and I will assume you guys are young, but being single and not having a solid relationship does start to affect ANYONE'S happiness. Now if you don't have the right person then I understand doing it alone or with a good friend. But I stand firm on not buying it if a woman has a man in her life that is worth a relationship, that she will still choose to do her solo.
