Do I have a lot on my mind? Sure I do.

Alright, so first of all I'm going to vent about the long drawn-out process that is the Sioux nickname. After reading this article on the Grand Forks Herald website, I firmly believe that it is time for the University of North Dakota to change it's mascot/nickname. First of all, it is going to happen eventually, so it might as well be done before they keep spending so much money on it. Second, I'm not going to give UND anymore alumni money until they do change it...well, that is if I ever make any money (and then I still probably won't give them money anyway). And third...Everyone else is doing it. I'm pissed that FSU doesn't have to change theirs, and I believe it's because they are a well known, big time school. But if they did change theirs, I think they could make a killing in terms of money on it. I mean say they set-up an arrangement where they get like a small percentage of royalties for all clothing and stuff that bears their logo...It's a great idea, maybe UND ought to think about it. I mean everyone will go and buy new shit...shirts, hats, mugs, all that crap because they'll not only want the new logo, but it'll be the totally new mascot.

You know what else pisses me off? People who ask themselves questions and then answer them all the time. Do I do this myself? Sure, I think its obvious I do. Do I find this annoying? Absolutely, but I'm doing it to prove a point. Should I slap the next person I hear do this in public? I think I should. Will I? Chances are I won't. Do I have a point to this? Yes, don't ask yourself a fucking question if you're going to answer it right away, and have been planning on it. Acceptable time to do it: If you are asking aloud "What did I do with my keys?" and then all of a sudden you're like "Oh yeah, I dropped them in the toilet and accidental took a shit on them." that's the only acceptable time. peace.

That's some scathing commentary. On an unrelated note, do our other two contributors even exist?
