Camel rides and moonlit tents

No internet last night, here's an update:

We drove for 25 minutes through the desert until we reached two small huts where we met a mother and daughter who allowed tourists to visit their tent. We then witnessed a disgusting display of tourists gawk and stare at the women as if they were some alien species. Another 20 minutes in the car led us to a "hotel" where we started our camel rides. The camel ride was terrible. The camels were all seemingly sick, my mother's camel kept sticking out it's tongue, bubbling, then foaming at the mouth; another camel wouldn't put it's leg down for too long, which we learned was because another camel had bitten it and they were still using it anyways, and in the beginning one camel flipped the shit and almost sent a woman flying off it's back. Fun times.

However, the dunes of the Sahara were beautiful, and I got some good camel shadow pictures, and after about 25 minutes of being led around by a sherpa who looked strangely like Adam Chanes, we stopped for 10 minutes to climb the dunes and watch the sun set. That was beautiful. Then, back off to the hotel, whilst listening to my mothers camel bubble and squeak the whole way. (yes, the camel squeaked.)

We arrived at the hotel, which was simply many rows of tents with beds inside. We soon realized that we were the only people in the whole hotel, which I must say was pretty cool. We had a nice dinner, with some interesting music to finish it off, and some nice family bonding time. While we walked the frigid walk back to our tents (it gets very cold in the desert at night) we realized just how astonishing the stars were with virtually no light for miles.

When we finished being amazed by the sky's beauty, we remembered that we were freezing and hurried to out hotel rooms where we got in our thick beds that were topped with 5 of the worlds heaviest blankets. I managed to finish my book just before the lights turned off for the whole hotel.

Today, we spent a lot of time driving, and randomly getting out of the car to look at small things such as roses and postcards to send to our loved ones. We eventually stopped for a 20 minute "hike" where we walked and saw bubbling water, sacred fish with legs, and donkeys that I swear were puppets.

We had a nice lunch, with some very friendly cats, and then we drove to our current hotel where I am sitting on my sisters laptop writing this, as the hotel's internet doesn't work with my iPod.

That's all for now,
Mr. Snuggles

P.S. this counts as a post.
P.S.S This was supposed to be accompanied by real photos, but the internet here is too slow to handle it, I will add them when I have the chance.

an important blog consideration

I want you to all utilize the comments section for this post.

I have been dissatisfied with the quality of my posts as of late, and I want to improve. Knowing I have to write a blog a day can be very stressful, and gives me very little time to come up with ideas. I am considering putting more work in to my posts, and begin using pictures I make myself. I just now tried to fit that in to a blog post for today, but it is taking more than twice the time it took for my old ones. So I was considering updating my blog less. probably 1 to 3 times a week. This will give me more time to create and perfect my posts. I don't want to lose any fans over this so i want your opinions. Sound off in the comments.

Thanks,
Mr. Snuggles

A facebook public service announcment

You know what pisses me off? and I mean REALLY pisses me off?
women.
They are the source of all our problems, they're almost as bad as religion.

On a separate matter: breast cancer.
It sucks, no one wants it. Let's all raise awareness so we can fix it.

One problem. It is mostly women who have breast cancer, and they clearly have no fucking clue how to raise awareness.
Shit like this makes me want to cry.



Shit like this comes up every couple months or so as just a way to piss off men. Nothing else. I can only think of the womans thought process when they had this idea.

"Hmmm, breast cancer is a serious issue, I need to raise awareness. How can I do that?
I know! I'll get all my friends to post a status on a social news site that makes no sense, and completely exclude all men! Because screw including half the human population! It'll be like a secret club!"

Hey women, ever experience, or read in comics or anything about how boys exclude girls from their tree house or something like that? YOU AREN'T FUCKING 7! THIS IS SERIOUS SHIT, NOT A FUCKING SLUMBER PARTY!
I can not stress this enough. While yes, there is the small chance that a guy will EVENTUALLY figure out how to decode this shit, it's not helping the cause. This woman seems to make it clear that she doesn't want men to know. SO WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT!?

Anyway, I just wanted to inform the males what the shit was going on, and seriously girls, clean your shit up.

Music that makes my ears bleed

You know what I hate? Music today. It's just not as good as the music I never listened to before I was alive. Especially dupstep. I just don't get it.
I don't understand the concept of listening to random sounds and calling it music. I could set up a music editing software, close my eyes, and mash the keys, and it would be dubstep.

That being said, when done very well, dubstep can sound cool. I just wouldn't call it "music"

I have something I would like to point out: A catchy song is not the same as a good song.
Just because Katy Perry songs are stuck in your head does not mean that they are actually good. In fact, that means they are just made to harass you until you buy the song just to get it out. I get a little bit more crazy every time "Firework" gets stuck in my head.
BABY YOU'RE A FIIIIREWOOORK
 I don't really understand how people listen to this stuff. The only time I ever listen to popular music is in the shower on my shower radio, and that's mainly because I don't now any channels besides KISS, Magic 106.7, and Radio Disney.
I wouldn't exactly call myself a hipster, (you just wait, I'll get in to that in a later post) I just don't like music that is popular. You might call me an anti-hipster when I think about it, because I only listen to music that is either really old, or all the people who are anything close to hipsters are already over it.

There is still good music produced sometimes these days. I myself am fond of Stereo Heart by Gym Class Heroes, but that's mostly out of camp memories.

I'm not sure where else I can really go on this topic, so I'm gonna let it be for now.

Father Time is Senile

People say: "time flies."














Everyone knows time is different depending on what you're doing. Today I hope to illustrate to you readers some common situations, and how time conforms to them.

First off: Showers

I've mentioned this before, but this one hits me especially hard when it happens, especially because I take off my watch when I get in. The punchline is, very little time is spent actually washing. and when you finally work up the courage to turn off the water and step in to the cold air, well...
Next up: Classes
This one differs depending on what's going on, and your personality.

There's the checker: If you are a checker, you check your watch every single minute, but you think that it has been more, only to be extremely disappointment. Doing this only makes the class feel longer, but you don't care, maybe you'll get a miracle.

There's the spaced-out: You just spend the entire class staring at a wall or the girl in font of yours breasts or something when, next thing you know, class is over. Side affects of this are: having no fucking idea whats going on in class, and being slapped by the girl in front of you.

Finally, there's the actually trying to pay attention: You want to succeed, so you look at the teacher and participate in discussions. Good for you, you're going places, but unfortunately, you just added a few extra millenniums to you class period.

Then there's different situations that can be encountered anywhwere.

There's the awkward situation: These go on forever. They will just simply not end unless you end them. Except the only way to stop an awkward moment is to say something absolutely outrageous.

Waiting for a phone call: You just got a girls number, or you have an important business call, either way, you will be waiting for a call in some form, and that wait takes a long time. Especially because sometimes you never know that it will definitely happen. So you end up sitting by the telephone, ever so patiently.

Finally for tonight, we have the 
"actually having a good time and you wish this moment would last forever": You do!? Too bad, fuck off.


P.S. new poll is up in a new location.

What Would Giant Flying Spaggethi Monster Do?

greetings, [blank]theists!

First off, I would like to apologize for this weekend, and i am personally ashamed of my half-asleep rant, so to make up for it, i am going to do a super long and funny post today.

So today I was hanging out with some friends of mine when a man came up to us preaching about why abortion is bad, for religious reasons.
he looked sort of like this guy

We got in to a small argument, and I kindly told him to go fuck himself. But it got me thinking about religion.
Those of you who actually read my sleepy rant saw me very briefly discuss religion, so i feel i owe it to you to go in to more detail. 
I don't like religion. Any of them. Except maybe Buddhism, they're chill. 

This is my, and many people on the internets apparently, interpretation  of God:
WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW!?

That's right. A giant flying spaghetti monster. That is God, or it may as well be, we don't know.

Religion is tearing the earth apart.

You can't read the news without hearing about something relating to religion, and while I know believing in something, whether it be God, or God's absence is part of life, it is getting a bit out of control. Everyone is aware of the in-your-face christians today, compalining about gays, how other religions are inferior, abortions etc... and I am sick of it.
It says in the Bible "Don't have sex with a man as one does with a woman. That is abhorrent."
--Leviticus 18:22. It also says in the same chapter
