What happened to the Renaissance man?

Feb 04, 2006 21:27

Today, I caught the last half of 'Canada's Next Prime Minister', in which several university students were competing for a $50,000 prize by debating issues pertaining to our problems as a nation and how they would personally solve them. Initially, I was mildly impressed... but ultimately, I found that these kids were just articulate speakers with ( Read more... )

> Why am I ranting about this when I should be writing an essay...?

I think the answer's in the question. ;-)

Hehehe!

Who're you? ; ) Sorry, but I couldn't help glancing at your interests... Voltaire, dragons, Douglas Adams, KMFDM, CoF, NIN, etc etc.? Snaz!

Gabriel. Pleased to make your acquaintance. :-)

(I'm just up late randomly commenting LiveJournals in a vain effort to avoid having to turn off my music and go to bed!)

I do that often. My music is never turned off.

I'll tell you why! The same reason I'm not studying for my psychotic Psych test and Greek test. ;_; Because clearly the rain is distractive and we can't concentrate on silly things like school.

The internet is way more important! Haha. :P

... Canada's Next PM..? Oh my god, they've offically made a reality show for everything now.

*snickers* True that. Although, I don't mind competitions for gigantic sums of money that deal with Canadian issues. They amuse the fuck out of me. Good quality shitass Canadian TV for yeh! ;p

*high 5s* Blame it on the rain, definitely! I've spent a GREAT deal of time, today, just staring out the window and listening to Tori Amos. ;p

Hahaahaha yay this makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one. :P I've been.. cleaning, reading non-schooly books, music.. ANYTHING but my textbooks. Because the second I sit down the rain goes SO loud and I'm like.. "Noooo can't.. think.. about.. Homer!"

Ahhh the window of distraction.. it's big isn't it?

I have a shitload of books to read, so I'm reading a bit here and a bit there between five-minute intervals. That CAN'T be good. --_--

lnstead of being the next Prime Minister, how 'bout being the next Margaret Trudeau? Your job will just consist of looking beautiful and having your picture taken with celebrities and foriegn dignitaries.

...and speaking shitty French, and partying with various Canadian bands? o.o

If I didn't hate Margaret Trudeau, I'd be on board with that. ;p
