I CAN GO TO ALL TEH BARZ AND STREP KLUBZ AND SEE ALL TEH NEKKID WOMANZ NOW LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO-*shot*

Seriously, though, this is the point at which I begin to take responsibility of my life.  Being 21 is a right of passage, and it means much, much more than just being allowed to go to Happy Hour or view adult content.  It means I have become a man, and as a man I now have more responsibilities to uphold and stricter rules to live by, and must begin to not only understand and comprehend, but make accommodations for, the fact that I am now held to higher standards than ever before.

The world is a scary place, what with terrorism, sexual predators, crazed gunmen, and so much more.  And just think, every day, the next generation is being born into it.  If we are to make the world better, then we need to set the right example for those who are still learning.  Being 21, I am now an example for the next generation to learn from, and as an adult it is my duty to set the best example I can for them.  That means getting a job, not procrastinating on homework assignments, and taking better care of my health.

These next months/years/however long it takes are going to be tough, but if I can get through it and really learn to 'be a man', it'll benefit me for the rest of my life.

I don't know what to write so I'm just going to let my brain vomit words until I form a coherent sentence.

So last night (the night between December 17 and December 18) I dreamed I was in the Empire State Building.  Some guy was holding this weird contest, and apparently he turned out to be evil.  This contest of his was actually a plan to get a bunch of people together in order to feed some MASSIVE spider (it could reach the top of the Empire State Building by just standing on its hind legs) that had essentially turned New York City into a giant spider nest, with webs all over the place.

So a friend of mine, , decided to tag me (I was more or less the cause).  For he who is unlucky enough to bear this burden next...I pity you.

What Google is doing not only violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, but additionally stains their overall reputation as a business.  The First Amendment--the Freedom of Speech--gives us, the People, the undeniable right to express our thoughts, be they good or bad.  Additionally, "Free Speech" entails that our voices may not be silenced on the grounds of 'negativity' or 'an undesirable response'.  Such censorship is unconstitutional and therefore ILLEGAL.  I wouldn't have been as mad about this whole issue if Google had handled the public's disapproval responsibly.  The fact that a big business such as theirs would stoop so low as to bury the truth is, to me, morally wrong and very infuriating.  I can't fathom how Google came to their decision, but probably the most disappointing part about it all is that whoever is in charge approved of it.
Such controversial activity reflects poorly on a business, especially one as successful as Google.  Forcing people to bolster a product they neither want nor need, just to compete with another business, is by no means 'good business'; if anything, it's blackmail.  What makes a company successful is not how much money it can make, but rather how satisfied it can make its customers.  Based on the actions that Google has taken over these last couple of days, they have not only stirred up a great deal of dissatisfaction from their customers, but have also indirectly confirmed their inability to accept their own mistakes.  From ignoring our requests for years, to tailoring our feedback to their advantage, they have abused their power as a major company.
Ever since its inception, the Internet has been a place for the people of the world to gather freely, share information, and get their ideas out.  Likewise, business is, was, and has always been, the means by which the world can be improved.  The Internet is not full of mindless sheep who will do whatever they are told to do, and business is not a competition.  If Google were to realize this, stop trying to out-compete Facebook with Google+, and actually listen to their customers, this wouldn't be a problem.  Businesses should use money for the people; not use people for the money.  It'd do Google well to remember that.
