Maria Callas - Casta Diva
You know what fucking bugs me? Obvious-to-God Liberals hiding under the "cool" and supposedly "neutral" label of Libertarian. There's this anal, prissy little group on Facebook, (which I was sadly invited to), called "Abolish Ignorance (on Facebook)". The insecure twit of a creator, let's just call "her" X, clings to the title of Libertarian to escape accusations of P.C. liberalism. X is the antithesis of a Libertarian. Libertarianism promotes, over all things, little to bordering-on-zero government intervention, which would include those "Positive Work Space" conferences which attempt to reconfigure one's mindset so that it adheres to the Liberal perception of "equality", which X praises and promotes constantly. Does that sound like a non-interventionist Libertarian tactic? Uh-uh. That's pseudo-fascism.
Liberals have adopted a blatantly discriminative and yes, ignorant perception of people who do not adhere to their mindset: these free-thinking individuals must be stupid or immoral, but most of all, ignorant. Yes, "ignorant" is a carefully selected word to convince people with differing opinions that they've been misled by "society"; an ambiguous term used to shift all responsibility off of humanity to form the popular "victim of the system" concept.
Honestly, I don't know what to call myself anymore. The Liberal and Conservative Parties are merely two different wings on the same party. With the exception of their views on social issues (i.e. gay marriage, anti-smoking laws, etc.) and political correctness (guess which party subscribes to this). And I honestly believe that regardless of whether Canada is under a Liberal or Conservative government, it will sooner than later convert to a two-tier healthcare system, similar to the system Britain has now. Possibly for the best.
I've become relatively apathetic to and increasingly uninformed about the social politics these two parties toil over. I'm apathetic towards gay marriage, however, I believe that there should definitely be religious rights if it remains legal. Abortion, ultimately I'm pro-choice, but I don't think it's that big of a hot topic in Canada. And, I'm not exactly a connosseiur of drugs, so I can't really speak for the legalization of marijuana: however, I think it's a little odd that smoking is practically being edited out of social consciousness while marijuana is being elevated into it's own community and political entity.
The one issue that, although I'm not terribly informed about, I sense is of importance is the environment: conservation, pollution, climate change, etc. And I don't believe that either party has outweighed the other with their pathetic efforts.
Madonna - Deeper and Deeper
I'm back!!! Well, one more month left of City School, but in that time they're shoving in all sorts of bullshit that I have to get started on in a couple of days. I'm too used to this holiday to start writing and thinking again! Grrr... Oh, FYI, I got an 84% on that test I was bitching about and a 95% on the latest test in Sean's class. It's all about bullshitting. It was a pretty good Christmas, although I've inevitably fucked up my sleeping schedule with all the free time I have. I'm so exhausted I can't even begin to think about schoolwork. All I have to remember is that I have less than one month.
At least I did something remotely productive this holiday so far with the creation of this new layout. Mostly I've been slowly but surely progressing in my Scarface: The World is Yours XBOX game. The Freedom Town Redux mission is a bitch.
Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
I want to murder my World Issues teacher. Our latest test was absolutely inconceivably unfair in content. The designated chapter for the test was 'Hunger' and 'Agricultural Development' yet 50% of the test was on stuff we hadn't even formally discussed or studied, i.e. Iraq war, climate change, NGOs, etc. I think it is more than fair to say I pay attention in class; I've proven myself by getting a 98% on both my big Catherine II project and first West & the World test. So, it isn't that I haven't studied, haven't taken excessive notes on everything he's fucking said, etc. ... What the fuck is his fucking goddamn problem? I'm gonna get a fucking 65 at best on this fucking test.
And now I have no alternative options for schooling: Virtual School and Night School applications were due a month ago. I need these four credits. And I'm not gonna let this fucking freak demon shit on my fucking goals with his fucking bullshit. I won't be able to look him in the eye anymore: I won't be able to restrain myself around this fucking apathetic cunt-faced asshole. And if you think I hate this jerk, ask the rest of his students. Fuck, I could start a fucking mutiny against this dickless fuck.
Sean's (a.k.a. Fuckface) Marking Scheme
[Answer] Bt-crops emit a toxin which repels certain insects and pests but is harmless to non-threatening insects, animals and humans.
[Sean] Why are they crops?
[Answer] Because people need to eat, you fucking blunt shaft.
[Sean] Why do people need to eat?
[Answer] They will DIE moron!
[Sean] Why will they die?
[Answer] Because there is a continuous loss of fat and muscle that the body breaks down for energy. This leaves the individual susceptible to diseases which are fatal when the body is weak enough.
[Sean] But why?
[Answer] *defeated whimper*
[MARK] F-
Fuck you dickface, I hope you choke on your genetically-modified Thanksgiving turkey.
Christ, I'm still angry. I took the time to write this specifically to let out some steam in a form of catharsis, yet all its done is accumulate whatever anger I'd forgotten about. Fuck, I have fucking work to do, dammit! Fuck... Well, schooling ends February 5, 2007, if not earlier. I will be counting the fucking milliseconds.
