Watch What You Say...This is Ann Arbor

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Graduation is 2 weeks from today and I've had a lot to do. Two incidents in the past 3 days though have reminded me why I'll be glad that I never have to regularly live in Ann Arbor again.

Now don't get me wrong. I've made some really good friends here, and you can't really beat all the sports that are available, but some of the fucking weird ass people here really make it an unappealing place to live regularly.

I consider myself a pretty tolerant person. But nothing pisses me off more than people who are in your face about how proud they are to be gay. Listen if you are gay that's fine. But don't go around waving it in my face like you are the fucking man because you like to get gang banged by 7 dudes. I don't walk up to gay people and say, "Man I love women. You are a stupid fuck for being gay. Now listen to me talk about all the girls I've tried to get with in the past month."

With that being said you need to make a note that my RA is gay. Like as gay as they come. He wears his hair in a ponytail and has fucking pictures of flowers and dudes on his walls. Like if there was a complete opposite to me in every way in the world it is epitomized by this "guy".

So 2 days ago, he sends out an e-mail that says the following:

"Today is the 14th Annual Day of Silence. Hundreds of thousands of students in the US will choose to be silent for all or part of the day to show their concern about anti-lgbt harassment and name-calling, hate crimes, and bias."

"Take a look at the web site, http://www.dayofsilence.org/index.cfm, and think about what challenge you might set for yourself today. Maybe you want to have a silent lunch with friends. Maybe you want to use a pen and paper to communicate for part of the day, or the whole day. Send me an email or stop by my room if you have questions, and I can give you more information."

For those of you who don't know what LGBT is, it stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. Like are you serious dude. Do I send you e-mails that say, "Hey man, a couple weeks ago it was St. Patrick's Day and people pretended to be Irish and that really hurts my feelings. I don't like it that people drink and pretend to be Irish like me and I'm going to hold a silent protest."

What was even better was that Rex and I are walking down the street, and he says, "Man, we need to be especially loud today so people know we are serious." And then later that day, I saw 20 lesbians walking down the street a few hours later with duct tape over theirs mouths. How are they supposed to go muff diving if they have tape over their mouths? Guess they didn't think that part through.

The second part of this story happened today.

Rex is our Quarterback and I are walking back from our spring game, when we start talking about how fucking stupid 99.9% of Michigan fans are about Michigan football. Like they have no idea about the team. They sit there and try and say that Tate Forcier is fucking great when he blows dick.

So we are walking down the street and I say to Rex, "Man, like nearly everyone in the state of Michigan is fucking gay." Now at that time we walked by a guy putting quarters in the parking meter, and I swear to God, I thought to myself, I guarantee you this kid is fucking gay and is going to say something about it.

Not 2 seconds later, this kid walks up to me and Rex and says, "Watch where you say fucking gay at - especially in Ann Arbor."

And that comment by this fucking could-pass-as-a-14-year-old-girl is exactly why I'll rejoice when I move away from Ann Arbor for good in 2 weeks.

My response to him was basically, "O alright dude. Sweet." Like thanks for listening to my conversation. Rex and I tried to come up with the best response would be to what he said, and he came up with, "Oh sorry man. I didn't know it wasn't okay to say fuck around here." Bet that dude would have gotten down and sucked a dick immediately when we dropped that bomb on him.

Doctor Jew made a good point when he brought up the fact that people from big cities would never walk up to a complete stranger and say something like that. People like us know that people in this world are fucking crazy and that you don't butt your head into other people's conversations. But no this fucking kid has to be a prophet and let me know that it was offensive for me to say "fucking gay."

Gay is such a common word now that it's on the level of calling someone retarded. Does everyone mean hateful things to mentally challenged people when they say that someone is retarded? Hell no. So why doesn't the same apply when you say something is gay?

Like seriously dude, if you really thought that I was hateful towards homosexual people with that comment, your boyfriend must have fucked you so hard in the ear last night that he gave you brain damage.

And that's why I will never come back to Ann Arbor for more than a day at a time.
