illegality...bite me, RIAA
The RIAA has brought a suit against more people, and one of them goes to my school. Will this make anyone stop downloading from Limewire and stuff? No...it just irritates. Reeaally strongly.
Speaking of musical illegality, you may or may not have noticed that my profile song is by a group called India Enjoys. Yeaaaaah...no. It's just songs I like. I think I'll use it to post my musical likes and dislikes as well. I'm not even sure which one I have up at this moment. If it's "The Blacksmith," it's by Steeleye Span, whom I highly recommend.
Also an irritating thing I have discovered: Fahrenheit 9/11. It had its funny moments, but overall, I had this sense of "Fuck you, Michael Moore." He's very self-important. Or maybe I just don't like documentaries: we also watched "When We Were Kings" in that class (CTCS 192m: Race, Class, and Gender in American Film) and I didn't like it very much either.
The professor is also irritating, mostly because his lecture style is very...bombastic, I guess. He rags on Bush for his awful speaking style, but his own is not so great either. He is a very repetitive speaker. And he will sometimes fluster himself up and say something like this: "They killed themself, dying in the process." Huh-what? That's a total Bush-ism! When he said this, he was talking about terrorists, the Columbine shooters to be specific. He was trying to make the point that people tend to think of only Arabs as terrorists and ignore or do not really think about other terrorists right here. He also used McVeigh as an example, which I feel was much more accurate than the Columbine kids. They terrorized, but they weren't terrorists. Terrorists have an ideology; the Columbine shooters had sociopathic personalities and access to guns. I was going to bring that up, but I didn't really get a chance. And I got too distracted in whatever game I was playing.
So, I guess this blog can be summed up as "Suck it, RIAA. And Professor Boyd."
