Funny

See, Ironminds is this online magazine that I like, and every now and then they do these funny stories where they just ask all the writers the same question. This time it was, “What was the first album or piece of piece of music that really stirred you?” The resulting story made me laugh and laugh. (I especially enjoyed the person who took the time to transcribe the lyrics from the first six songs of Vanilla Ice’s “To the Extreme.”) Read and enjoy, friends.

SafeRide

This article about the fate of SafeRide was pretty interesting. Firstly, they’re just now realizing that it’s “ineffective, unorganized and is rarely if at all used by the student body”? DUH. I never even used it and I could’ve told them that. I think the accidents on Edison point out, though, that something needs to be done about students walking back to campus from the bars. And I don’t like the attitude some administrators are taking, like Father Paul Doyle, rector of Dillon: “It’s some kind of enticement to be irresponsible and not have to worry about how you’re getting home — I don’t think that’s productive to growing up.” “Productive to growing up?” How about getting hit by a car? That’s not really “productive for growing up” either, is it? Sheesh.
