CONTRARY TO POPULAR OPINION, PEOPLE WITH HIGHER EDUCATION LEVEL AND COGNITIVE ABILITY ARE NOT MORE TOLERANT……That’s because…… “STUPID PEOPLE PISS US OFF!”……sorry,…….anyway,…..

THIS HUMBLE PUGLIAN TOWN IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN ITALY…..I’ve been to a lot of places in Italia…..but this little village snuck right by me……Locorotondo….I never heard of it…..but I’ve been to other cities and villages in this area…..this place is so incredible…..look it up…..Nicole and I are definitely going there one day…….moving on…..but, I like this woman……

I HAD MY DREAM WEDDING IN ITALY AND IT ONLY COST ME $5,000 EUROS…..And she said the best part was…..they all had a blast……five years ago…..she told her parents she was getting married…..and her parents wanted to throw her dream wedding at the Plaza Hotel in NYC…..the wedding she always thought about having…..but she was like…..nah, why spend all that cash on a one day event…..the wedding she was picturing was fun, casual…..with friends laughing and running around barefoot…..sounds so much like my wife…..anyway,…..so she and her future husband decided to get married at an agriturismo…..a working farm where many of the products served are made on the property…..and this place was in the Campania region of Italy…..a beautiful area BTW……vineyards……olive trees…..anyway,…..the ceremony started with a aperitivo for the guest…..while they mingled on the veranda and listened to Italian folk music…..and later they moved to the pool area…..which was surrounded by a dance floor…..and a killer view of the mountains…..the great part was…..there was no cost to rent the joint…..and dinner cost 45 euros per person……now,…..food…..the evening started with homemade arancini, frittatas, bruschetta, and quiches……she had me at the arancini……anyway,…..once everyone was sitting at the dinner table…..antipasti with fresh homemade cheese, salami and olives……homemade cavatelli in zucchini-and-mint sauce……stuffed pork breast with roasted baby potatoes……the wine served was made on the property…..and it was unlimited…..while they ate…..the Italian folk band played…..a DJ played their favorite songs……dinner cost a total of 800 euros……and the DJ was 100…..at the end of the evening…..all the guest were sent home with a bottle of prosecco from the local cantina…..and each bottle cost 6 euros…..and she said….. “This was the wedding I wanted”……food, wine, wedding dress, DJ, cake, gifts for the guest……all of that for under…..5,000 euros……wedding or no wedding……I would do that every year with friends……there’s nothing like a dinner in Italy……because it starts in the afternoon……and goes on…..for hours.

“BORG” DRINKING TREND ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES RAISES CONCERN AMONG BOSTON HEALTH EXPERTS…..Doctors are worried about a new drinking trend that stupid college students are into right now……it’s a drink called Borg…..which means in college jargon….. “Blackout Rage Gallon”…..and of course it’s popular on Tik Tok and other social media platforms you can watch stupid people do…..stupid things…..and you think it’s a great idea…..to follow them doing…..stupid things…..so this new fad is a combination of…..vodka, water, caffeine and powered electrolytes…..something people drink as a way to pace their drinking….and prevent a hangover…..and kids a filling up the emergency rooms in local hospital…..jeez…..if these kids want to learn who to properly get wasted……they need to talk to their grandparents……or their parents friends…..because when it came to getting seriously fuck-ed up and wasted……we knew how to do it right…..and not wind-up in the damn hospital…..from what I’ve read, heard and learned over the past decades….when it comes to college students…..I’ve realized one thing…..many parents are wasting good money…..by sending their stupid kids to college.

HOW MANY GALAXIES ARE THERE IN THE UNIVERSE?……This has got to be a trick question.

“I’LL SHOW YOU WANT MY ANCESTORS DID TO YOUR KIND”……Two students…..and I’ll assume they were White……at a Chattanooga boarding and day school for boys…..have been expelled after school administrators……learned of the students making racial slurs…..you know, when it comes to this I’m like….. “WHATEVER!”……what makes people think…..they can call me something I’ve basically heard all my life…..and I’m going to be upset, mad, have you ruin my day…..seriously?…… “WHATEVER!”……you’re showing me what kind of person you are……how your family upbringing was…..scream it, yell it……I’ll just turn my headphones up louder so I don’t hear you prove to the world…..how racist and ignorant you are…..but…..if you attempt to touch me or harm me…..I’m going to fuck you up……because that’s not talking anymore…..that’s a threat towards my life……so call me “WHATEVER” your ancestors called my ancestors……and I’ll stand there…..and look at you as if I’m looking into the face of a 4-year-old……and laugh…..because your words are nothing new…..and they don’t bother me anymore.
