...a little intro

»into a little thing i called life

I just feel the need to clarify or simply mention a few things (this is not a blog entry). Normally I would not write blog nor will I ever talk about one thing in particular and continue on with it...this little area will serve as a place for my blog for school. And to be a little different I decided to use my personal site as such rather than going and setting an account at some blog space website or whatever. Beside being different, I didn't want this site to remain inactive and also how could I discard this little design I worked so hard in creating and coding. It was a bitch to code and to design...I'm still a little unsure why I made it pink, hate the color. So with such, I bid you ado to do whatever you please, read the blog if you must but be forwarn, I am not the most knowledgable in things of this world and will spit out random bullshit without proof...so with this warning of some sort off you go...

feb. 22, 2008: bullshit is still bullshit

According to my friend, that is what every single word I say are, absolutely bullshit...well in terms of book discussion. You see me and her (or she and I) have always had a competition when it comes to English class (we both had English together for four years). When it comes to class discussion, our style is different. She relied heavily on the book, words by words, lines by lines kind of thing, now that is not a bad thing at all because whatever she says is backed up by the book, I myself on the other hand rarely used the book. I just relied on memory and whatever pops up. According to her is bullshit, but my bullshit actually are valid points...its an amazing talent I have.

Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but why not...for the dew breaker project, I really just kind of wing it. I've noticed that for the other groups, most people brought up papers (most likely with points and pgs) to help them lead the discussion before hand, I really didn't do that. What I did was write down some quotes before class started and just went with it. My winging it do have some downfall...one I really can't start a class discussion until someone goes first because I just whatever they say and go with it. What you do is you listen to them and just pick whatever pop out at you and continue what they say but with your own point...whether or not you disagree. Another downfall I have is, my inability to actually complete a thought...you basically get what I'm saying but since I'm unprepared its never worded as elegant as some would make it.

But according to my friend, no matter how valid a point maybe it's still bullshitting when really you're bullshitting everything you've said. Noted by my tendency to stretch some points out. But dude, seriously, she's just jealous she doesn't have my bullshitting ability. While she had to work hard on finding her points, my just come to me...and I have no clue how this talent of mind will benefit me...why couldn't I have a talent to sing or be some sort of genius.

feb. 20, 2008:i say down with all the happiness

An uninteresting day indeed, nothing out of the ordinary occurred. It was school, work, and school again...boring yes, I do admit my life is one big boring mess. Anyway, this post here is nothing of importance, but I'm just slight a little freaked out my the woman at the other end of the line. I called costumer service, usually we all get someone who sounds like they want to go shot them self and half uninterested in whatever your problem maybe or someone you can barely understand. You see, I got none of that. I was highly disturb, she was by far too happy and perky...something that I was not expecting at 7:00 at night. So each time she talked or asked a question my left eyebrow raised up...my face resembled something like this [o_O]...if you can say my face consist of two unnaturally uneven circles and a straight line...but you get my point. I just don't do happy.

feb. 19, 2008: the woe of nothing but pointless

I'm not really one to hate teachers, but my bio 151 teacher maybe an exception. Just a little background on bio 151, it is plant biology where one shall learn out glycolosis or the kerb cycle, you something of that sort. Well, so far the only the thing I know for sure coming from that class is...how to read the nutrition label (she is also the only nutrition teacher at VCU). I really don't care that the food I'm eatting is eventually going to kill me nor do I care for the prescription disaster plaguing our nation. Yes, that what we're doing...30 min class discussion on vegeterian diets and slaughter houses, playing jeopardy, doing group work that involves watching documentary such as Super Size Me and even on the War in Iraq.

Finally after a wasted week on nothing, she actually lecture on biology. It's like hell freezing over, okay a little extreme, but you get my point.

feb. 15, 2008: Speeding and strange old man

I was running a little late to my FI class, due to the fact I had to drop my brother off at school (he always missed the bus) and had only 30 minutes to get to school and then find a parking space. Mind you, it takes 30 minutes to get to school if traffic is good and at 8:30 or so, hullstreet is liter with cars heading to work. Luckily, with my fine expertise in the art of speeding and switching between lanes I made it to school with a five minutes left to find a parking space. I found one; it wasn't the easiest to park though especially with traffic still going. Took some patient, but I finally did. I got my car to be perfectly spaced between the car in front and behind me. Now, I was little disorganized, I almost left the car with the key in the ignition and still running. Luckily enough I didn't. So, here's the interesting part of this whole story...So I got out and this one man standing up on that walk way connecting oliver hall sci department with the edu department yelled down...

"That deserves an A!"

Freaked me out...and all I could do was utter a nervous laughter and hurriedly head to class...

feb. 14, 2008: Exhaustion of a day work

I feel like dying today...I've been at school since 7 in the morning to 9:30 at night...I'm completely pooped out for the day. And I have yet to go back and reread the chapter for Dew Breaker before tomorrow class discussion. How the hell am I going to make it through the night?

feb. 13, 2008: Oh to woe of an Umbrella

Today I feel retarded...I couldn't get my umbrella to open up. So I spent five or more minutes trying to get to open...it’s one of those micromini umbrella. According to a dear friend, you have to get the handle to be straight and push it up from the bottom. They had quite the laugh at me, because they thought I was in trouble...

insert whinny voiceIt won't work...why won't it work ToT

Yes, quite the laugh at my misery...I found if you make a whooshing sound, it works better than fighting with it.

feb. 12, 2008: Non-patriotic duty @ polls

Primary day is here and the poll opens up at 6 o'clock in the morning...sadly to say I chose parking over my civil duty as a citizen to vote. Parking space is precious, especially one for free all day without any restriction. And I did get my space...

Anyway...while I was simply sitting, doing absolutely nothing of importance I decided to check the current standing of each candidate in the Potomac primary...as expected Obama was leading on the democratic ballot. As I was browsing, I stumbled upon this one piece of news...some VAians republican have admitting to place their vote on the democrat ballot instead (which could be the very reason why the at certain precinct the democrat ballot was running out, especially in places that tends to be heavily populated with Republicans). Now my first thought was, that is just so wrong...and secondly do they not have the faith in their own candidate (which most likely will be McCain). But it shouldn't be that big of a surprise, for one VA is an open ballot (or whatever they called it) state and these kind of things have been going on for decades.

feb. 10, 2008: Politicals and than some

Politics...it’s all we've heard on the news now a day. Turn the channel to CNN or FOX and it’s on every hour on the dot. With the coming primary on Tuesday for Virginians, I sadly would have to say I would not be part of the political process of electing a candidate for the up and coming actual presidential elections. Oh how disappointed my government teacher would be of me. While most tends to vote based on party line, one cannot honestly do that in a primary now can they. Despite it being on the news 24/7, I feel that I do not have enough information on the candidates to cast that first ballot on who I want to win confidently. While I do hope Hillary win, I can't honestly said that I want her to win for political reasons, in fact I don't really like both Obama and Hillary political stance all too much on particular points that actually matter to me. While I did want one of the lesser-known candidate to get the democrat nomination, it’s sad to say even if they did win, they are just not as known as Obama and Hillary to actually win in the main election that matter. Because we all know, some people would just vote base solely on name reorganization more so than anything else. I still believe that is why Arnold won in California.

Despite my absent at the poll this Tuesday, I hope whoever wins the democrat nomination will have enough sense to actually run the country well (if they win). I really do think that the United States is in need of a change. Even though democrats won big during the previous election, I’m not too sure that the people of this country are too pleased with them. They promised change and getting things done (especially in Iraq), but so far none of that really happen. As of now, I’m not as positive as I was a year or two ago that a democrat candidate will win the presidency for this coming election. The country is in need of change (after all isn’t this every candidates’ slogan of the year):
  1. the war in Iraq needs to be resolved (whatever that maybe),
  2. our economy needs to get out of this slump (the check thing Bush is sending, I’m not too sure how well that will go),
  3. gas price needs to go down (it really, really does I can’t afford it anymore),
  4. college affordability (how do people expect us to do great things when we can’t even pay for it in the first place),
  5. And whatever else that needs remodeling.
Now I can’t say I’m an expert in politics, dear god does it confuse me so, but I’m pretty sure where I stand on certain issues that I care for…which just happen to lean quite far to the left. I’m sorry if this blog sounds bias, actually no I’m not. Every blogger is bias when it comes to politics whether they have a stance on it or not. To be honest with you, the list above only a few points I made actually matter to me.

The thing that I actually care for are:
  1. Stricter gun control (I’m sorry all you pro gun people, but I think that a stricter gun control can help with fighting crimes and prevent massive shooting of people…because honestly if you have nothing to high than I’m sure a few day wait on background check can’t kill you…notice that I’m not calling for the abolishment of the right to bear arm…simply just precautions before one do have the right to bear arm)
  2. Woman right to get an abortion (but based on trimester)
  3. Same sex marriages (I honestly don’t see how two people getting married will affect someone they don’t know…you know who you are…damn zealous people)
  4. College affordability
  5. Gas Prices
  6. Universal Healthcare (I think everyone deserve a chance to go to the doctor without having to worried if they can afford it or not)
  7. Reforming social security, Medicaid, ect (because its running amuck and no longer really benefit anyone especially the poor)
I can’t think of anymore at this particular point and time.

*BTW, I mean no disrespect to Senator Clinton for refering to her as just Hillary, but whenever I simply just say Clinton, I think of Bill...
