Random Fucking Thoughts #3

Welcome to my weekly feature here at YPOIW in which I give you a slice of what's on my mind. Sorry I took last week off in favor of writing about the Penn State Scandal, I felt it deserved it's own post. It was the only thing I felt was worth an entire post, at the time. 

Thought 1:

I love the Buffalo Sabres more than anything else in my life... but I fear they just might be a bunch of cowards. How did they not go after Milan Lucic after he ran Miller? It's one of the biggest disappointments I can remember. In hockey, more-so than any other sport, you have to show the competitor you have the strength and will to compete. The Boston Bruins tested their manhood, and they cowered like little babies. The next time this happens they need to punch the perpetrator in the fucking mouth instead of giving him a couple of pie-faces while he laughs at you.

Thought 2:

Pitchfork is free to cover whatever they want, but I feel like the shun against Childish Gambino is pretty ridiculous. He's popular enough to warrant at least a passing mention of his existence. They've covered almost every artist on Glassnote except for him. This kind of selective coverage with hip-hop artists is a problem. You're telling me that Childish Gambino's Camp wasn't one of the most 25 relevant albums of the week to your readers Pitchfork? If you plain don't like the guy's music then review it and pan it, but ignoring it is just bad journalism and there's no excuse for it. 

Thought 3:

I don't think I'm ready to throw Bernie Fine under the bus until there's more substantial evidence against him. As far as I can tell it's just the alleged victim's word against Fine's. There is nothing legal and credible like the Grand Jury Report in the Sandusky case. I will say that Syracuse has handled the situation a lot better than Penn State by coming out with a statement immediately and putting Fine on leave while they look into it. Even if these allegations prove true, I won't have the harsh words for Syracuse that I've had for Penn State. I don't believe there was any attempt to cover it up, which as far as sex scandals go... is a nice thing to have.

Thought 4:

My 0/10 ranking of Maladroit for the Ranking Weezer's Albums post might have been a little unfair. This is a painful admission, but I like "Slave", "Slob,  and "Dope Nose" to an extent. I think my biggest problem is with with how they compiled the album. Weezer shouldn't give a fuck what their fans think, they need to compile their albums themselves. Fan input is important, but at the end of the day it shouldn't be the ONLY thing. They paid the price for it because it resulted in a disjointed mess. The fact that the entirety of the album has production more fitting of a crossover nu-metal band doesn't help. The worst crime about that album has to be that the songs aren't about anything, which is a hard pill to swallow from a band that made Pinkerton. 

Thought 5:

I'm a frequent user of public transportation, and people that sit on the aisle are total assholes. Why prevent another person from sitting next to you? why do you care so much? Why should you get the god given right to take up more space than everybody else?

Also, there really needs to be a limit of how many kids you can bring on the bus for free. I don't think it's in the NFTA's best interest to allow a woman to pay 1 fare and bring her 9 children on the bus for free. No wonder they've got a 15 million dollar deficit, it's that fucking lady's fault.
