weird few days
So, its been a while since I have updated, sorry guys.
I have a weird few days though. On Saturday I was working and a man got killed at the carwash across the street. Somebody was pulling out of the garage part and their pedal stuck so the accelerated, hitting two people and three cars. One of the men that they hit was killed. It was really weird, like just seeing them trying to give him CPR and like knowing that he was dead...
Then the next day at work I was being my usual fakely happy self to customers and an older man told me that I was very pleasant. He said he had to go out to his car and he would be back so I was just like "ok". When he came back in he had a stuffed animal beaver and gave it to me. He told me that I was very pleasant to work with and that he has a car load of stuffed animals because he gives them to people at hospitals but he thought I deserved something for being so nice. It was really funny and cute. Made me not hate people so much, there are a few good people in the world.
The next day (we are at monday now)I saw one of Colby's old roommates, john. He used to be a huge superficial asshole and generally not a good person. But when I saw him he was like "hey, come over here" and so I sat down next to him and we started talking. He is an entirely different person. He was telling me how he has been through a lot these past few years and he has a totally different perspective on life. He has become very cynical and philisophical. He was talking to me about how thinks most humans are just not good people and stuff like that. He said he was sick of the superficial people that surround us here at Quinnipiac. It was really nice, I mean he still said a few things that made me be like "oh john" but its nice to see him changing. We talked for a long time and it was just really nice.
Then yesterday, we had an FBI agent as a guest speaker in my sociology class. It was terrible. He was straight up spitting out propaganda. We watched a 7 minute video first talking about what the FBI is and stuff and it was rediculous how it was edited together. First they showed clips of agents crying being like "I was there the day after 9/11" blatantly pulling on peoples heart strings...then they said that the FBI is very diversified so they showed ONE Asian man graduating from the FBI training but EVERY OTHER PERSON in power in the FBI that they showed was a white middle aged man, yeah you are really diversified. So then the guy was talking about the patriot act and how things are different now and I mentioned how it sounded a lot like the "prevention of terrorism bill" that allowed innocent Irish people to be held with little to no evidence just because they were Irish and might be related to the IRA (ie: Guilford Four). When I said that he goes "what, so you support the IRA, they were supposed to give up their weapons!" WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?!?! I was just making an example. Then whenever I said or asked anything he was like "I can't answer that" or "I dont understand your question"...it was really reidculous. I wanted to walk out so bad, I was just heated. I mean really, how convenient that the FBI is making guest appearances at schools right now, when they are getting a bad name because of all the wire tapping stuff (which I dont even really think is a huge deal). Oh he was also talking about the media and how terrible they are and stuff and I just wanted to raise my hand and be like "umm media production major right here...so you think the media is bad because they do their job and dig up the dirt on you guys? Sure they don't know everything but at least they bring awareness to the people. We owe a lot to the media actually. In fact your propaganda filled video you showed us earlier would never have been edited so well if it wasn't for us media majors"
I hated that man.
Then I was supposed to get up early today and write a paper but instead I have been downloading an automatic page refresher so I can cheat and get a lot of gold on Gaia and make my character cool. Now I have to leave for school in an hour and I still haven't written my paper. Awesome. I totally rule!
Now I need to watch the end of this show with Sir Michael Clancey
BTW St. Patty's Day Party on March 10th at my apartment, be there or miss out
