Pet Peeve


Pet Peeve of mine:

People that Floss or cut their nails while in public places. I can stand brushing your teeth when you are around me, even outside of the bathroom. The other 2 are just unnerving to me. The middle-aged man beside me on this plane has a portable flossing fook and has been using it for the last 10 minutes while reading a Scientific American.

Scientific American, now that is a magazine that I might be interested in buying a subscription with. I also have a lifetime subscription to The Bent, an Engineering magazine that I really enjoy reading, so maybe that is enough scientific/nerdy stuff to read. I also read Men's Health for some helpful tips and facts.
Apparently in a sexual behavior study, cuddling is more benefical to men while women do not feel the an intimate connection because of it. I feel as though that study isn't very trustworthy. The only explanation I can imagine is that women derive more overall satisfaction from cuddling, rather than it just being an intimate action. Men, on the other hand, aren't as interested in cuddling outside of showing intimacy. So, the only way you can tell if she loves you is in her kiss, thats where it is!

The debt crisis in Greece is sadly a foil for the problems in America. Retirement funds starting around age 50 at many public jobs, barriers to fire unachieving employees, debt created by previous Presidents (not just Bush, Clinton and these ongoing wars), and a large amount of public disatisfaction because they feel as though it is not fair that brillant, possibly evil, business men in America are making most of the income in America, while the rest of us Art History Majors get nothing... I believe that there should be changes to the Tax code, taking more away from the top 1%, but there should also be more incentives for them to invest that money back into more jobs and the stock market.

More Blog Posts soon, I need to continually use my vocabulary and writing skills outside of engineering work for my future graduate school essays!
