Following my usual course of watching off-the-wall movies I watched
another one last night. It was called "Stealing Harvard" and had Tom
Green and Brodie from Mallrats. It really had nothing to do with
Harvard, just someone getting money to get in to Harvard. It was one
of those funny-weird movies. This takes me to the subject of Harvard,
one of the top schools in the country. If you've ever seen "The
Apprentice" then you know that they always have at least one person
who went to Harvard School of Business. And they always have an
elitist view of themselves and such. Now I have nothing against
Harvard, matter of fact my father went there. But Harvard seems to be
a place where just by going you can be proud. No one ever says "I went
to Harvard and had straight Cs". It's like not everyone who goes to
Harvard has straight A's there. Maybe to get into it you have to, but
really all you have to do is to get into it. The grades afterwords
don't seem to matter. Even my sister who was valedictorian in high
school didn't graduate from Rice with a 4.0. I remember a couple of
jobs ago I worked with someone who went to Harvard. I told him what to
do and he didn't seem all that smart to me. Maybe it's just the saying
"I went to Harvard". When I was in high school I went to Harvard - to
take my sister to check out the campus. No one ever asks details, like
they'll be offended or something. The next times someone brags to me
and says "I went to Harvard." I'll say - "Did you pass?"

Thought of the Day
"Hello, Ma? It's me. Guess where I am? In the back of a limo. No,
nobody died. It's a long story, I can't tell you now. Because I can't.
I said I can't. If I could, I would. Would you stop it. All right,
look, I'm getting off. No, I'm not telling you. How's this - I'm never
telling you. I don't care. No. Fine. Never!"
