Man, I feel like total shit today. I'm having one of those days where the voice in my head is screaming that I'll never be able to finish all the work I have to do, that I'll be a total failure and end up working at Burger King for the rest of my life, that I'll be a giant disappointment to all the people I love and that I'm just going to drag on ( Read more... )

Ris gave the homework assignment on his journal to write a short letter to something that makes me happy. And now, I invite all of you to do the same. ^_^ It could be a thing, a place, a food, and idea, but no people! And now, without further ado, my letter ( Read more... )

Because I said I would....here is my personal evalutation form. Fell free to leave the completed version in the comments section. hee, yes, I know, I'm leaving myself wide open here, but I figure I deserve whatever I get. Preemptive surrogate vengence and all. ^_ ( Read more... )

You know, very few things make me really go feral. Oh sure, I rant, I argue, I spew diatribe the way trashcans at the jersey Shore issue forth a boiling cloud of hornets whenever someone approaches with a sno-cone... But despite all that, I am generally a logical person and I can be reasoned with ( Read more... )

This is the prompt: I need an idea of what schools will become in the future. Extreme views are fine. Originally I was just going to ask for worst case scenario of what schools will degrade into ( Read more... )

Okay, I have now deleted the beginings of the original journal that I wanted to post here. Let's just say that I was upset, and that it was whiney and full of self pity. Also livid anger. But, as I usually try to do, I am making the attempt not to say things I don't mean in a non-rant post. More about my rants later ( Read more... )

Ris is going to the yearly Convention on Organized Resistence in Washington DC this weekend. I'm kind of torn over the whole thing. On one hand, it's the sort of thing he'd really enjoy, at least in theory. (Assuming the participants are other anarchists like himself and not hippies.) He's very interested in current politics and government ( Read more... )

Really, I doubt that anyone but myself is going to have any interest in this little soliloquy. Please realize that all the blathering gibberish that follows is based on the supreme arrogance: A) that my novels will eventually be published, and B) that anyone will care ( Read more... )

This is largely about religion. If you are uniterrested or easily offended by discussions on this topic, go elsewhere ( Read more... )
