What is with this whole elietism that goes along with Live Journals. If you think that there is something wrong with people's journals dont bitch and call them stupid and posers, or whatever the hell you call them just DONT LOOK AT IT! Jesus Christ, simmer the fuck down. It is a journal...people write their thoughts in them. Just because they arnt all like "I hate my life, and I am so indie" doesnt mean that they shouldnt write about their lives.
We are reading Macheavelli in poli sci and of all the phillosphers that we have read so far he makes the most sense. People have called him a pessamist, and evil before, but if you ask me he is a realist. The Greek philosophers, like Plato, had their heads in the clouds. They were trying to talking about a political system that could never exist in the real world, weather it be in the 8th century B.C. or in 2200. Also he was one of the first to write about a secular state. There needs to be more of that in the world. If we combine religion and politics in the most minute way there is going to be lots of problems. His main idea was that insted of trying to do what is right, do what is needed to keep power. If you ask me this is the best way of going about doing it. The nature of people is to try to get the best, and the good thing isnt alway the best so to keep the nation together one has to maintain their power. Okay that last sentece didnt make sense. It just amases me that it took so bloody long before someone took a realist view of politics and applied it.
I think I isolated the cause of my 'problems'....haha...riiight
This whole school business needs to stop. I am so fucking stressed out, but I guess that is what I get for being so damn lazy. One would think that by now I would have gotten over this whole 'procrastination' thing. Nope. Still salcking off as hard as ever. I wonder if I can find a job doing that. . .
This is the start of week 4 of being sick! yeah! I think this is the longest cold ever.
I was really thinking today. Someone said that I need to simle more and that really got to me. I was thinking about what makes me smile. There are only a few things. This is kinda like that movie I saw this weekend too, Win A Date With Tod Hammilton. I smile when something really is funny, or when I am around Ali. She can make me smile without having to do anything. I love you. :) See I am smiling as I write this. Thanks for everything Kitty.
I hate getting in the middle of things.
I wish I could rewind time.
Okay now this is just getting stupid.
