Kids should want to learn.  That's fundamental.  No kid is going to gain a great deal from an education they don't want.  Of course, we have to convince kids in this country to want an education usually, since we offer the ability to get a good one.  Everything that is available is usually taken for granted.

I'm not sure about the future of ( Read more... )

I've lost interest in these online writing sites.  It's bedazzling in a way to watch people hash out their lives, but the fact is their personalities are like fossilized sap, preserving themselves just as they are, completely protected from time and change.  They're all Encino men.  It's not hard to change, is it?  Why is it then, since I think ( Read more... )

The incident at Virginia Tech bothers me on many levels.  Probably too many.

On one level, we look at this student as a madman, a lunatic devoid of reason.  His works cycled on the internet seem rudimentary and poor, but as such, that seems to make me think that his mind was simple and under-developed, but not as others say psychotic.  I believe ( Read more... )

What does everyone think of this?  Let me know.  I'm curious.

If you don't focus on something acutely then you're never going to know the true answer. There's sense of procrastination constantly in your entries, which is an interesting quality that I've never picked up on before from a persons words...hehehe. Delaying yourself is just giving ( Read more... )

It happened again.  Another random person blocking me and instructing his friends to do so as well.  Hehehe.  I laugh.  It's not that funny.  It's silly.  It's funny in a pathetic way.

Look, either I'm important enough to be hurt by, or I'm not important enough to go through the trouble of blocking.  Either you should disagree with me so strongly ( Read more... )

A short short short short story:

When I was little I remember going to the beach a lot.  I went a lot with my little friends who I went to a little school with.  We liked the ocean, it was special to us in the way it seems to only be special to people who are our age who are tourists to here.  I remember a young girl by the name of Kelly.  I was not ( Read more... )

If you can't fight with fists / Then do it with words / If not words, then fists./ If you will not fight when a challenge is given / Then kneel so they may trod you down the quicker. / There are no heroes who have no heart. / There are no champions who have no soul. / There is no glory, no pride, no truth / That has not been bled for in our youth ( Read more... )

I guess people just don't like anonymous notes.

See, I find it delectable, reading other's lives, hunting them down online and in person if possible.  Sometimes I know them, sometimes not.  I always know them in the end.  But like so many sites before, the anonymous noter just doesn't get his respect.  People can't handle not knowing things, which ( Read more... )
