Great Blog/Language Evolution

I just wanted to recommend a wonderful blog. www.drexdavis.com. He hasn't updated it in a long time, but still the same, it is pretty good. He has some pretty dang funny things on their. One of my favorite postings was "Einstein does not work at Einstein's Bagels". Check it out.

I'm still holding onto the American Phraseology topic. I have a lot of questions about the evolution of our language. Many like to hold to the ideal that we evolved from apes--going from lesser to greater. Well, if we hold to the evolution theme, and apply it to our language, I'm thinking that we might be able to see a startling foretelling for us humans. I say this because it seems to me that our language--again, hugging tight to the evolution life boat--is ever evolving. It went from nothing, to grunts, to basic words and phrases, to complex speech. However, if you take a deeper look, it appears that our language evolution is an evolutionary parabola. It seems to me that anymore, we are leaving the complexities of language and engaging in greater amounts of grunts and what have you. Which is fine with me, so long as the person taking my food order understands what I'm getting at with my uuuuh, acth, eeee, eacth. My point is, that if our language is de-evolving, or heading back the other way, perhaps that is a sign that we might be headed on the same course. The "Planet of the Apes" may be closer than we think.

School

So, I started school again. Or rather, the next semester of school has begun for me. I think it is going to suck. I can't be 100% sure about that, but I'm thinking it will. I go to ASU and let me tell you, Fall semester sucks worse than the other semesters because there are probably 700,000 freshmen running around this campus with stupid grins on their faces, "Woo hoo, I'm in college now!" And truthfully, there isn't anything wrong with being excited to be back at school--learning is a good thing. But, the part that gets me are the bajillion sigma nu's, delta phi's, kapa kappa beta phi alpha's. Nothing but a bunch of seemingly shallow tarts wandering around in their sorority tank tops advertising their sorority for new suckers to join.

I've never been in an "organized" fraternity, but I don't think I would ever want to be in one anyway. Don't you have to pay lots of denero for that stuff. And for what? So you can pay to wear a symbol while you party and get drunk. Can't you do that for free and just live somewhere else? I know, I know, it's the experience of it all. Well, poop on that experience, you can keep it! Especially if that experience requires the use of said poop to finally get in. Yikes.

Enough of that tangent--speaking of math, I have a biomechanics course I'm not really looking forward to. Oh well, how does that saying go....I've made my bed, so now I have to sleep in it? Or, I've slept in your bed so now I have to make it soon? I never know.

Got to get to class now. But that last comment will lead nicely into my next segment--American phraseology. Where do some of these sayings come from? Scene.
