racism
If there is one thing you should know about me it should be that the one thing I truly believe in is karma. There is nothing in the world I hate more is than someone who thinks that their actions will not effect them. And I don’t mean karma as in “if you say something mean to someone you’ll get hit by a car” but more that if you do something to someone that is negative you should accept that they will in return be negative to you. It doesn’t mean right then, it could be years from then, but it will happen. Racism falls under that category of karma to me. If you are racist, obviously its going to come back and bite you in the butt. Like with stereotypes. People who stereotype other people because of how they look usually are not the kind of person people want to be around. It is all just so pointless. What has it done for anyone? I mean, other than make them look like pompous idiots. To me the whole difference in race thing is a joke. We are just all humans. We all came from monkeys, we all ac like morons, we should all just shut up and get along. But that’s just impossible because of the whole need to be superior thing everyone has going on. I don’t get how we think we are any better than any other animal on the face of the earth.
Half way done
It’s so weird, half the year is gone. Idk, I’m probably alone on the whole being shocked thing. It doesn’t feel like half a school year has gone by and then again I still think its freshman year. I have to admit that English is my favorite class (sorry Olmstead). I am also sorry for pissing half (or all) of you guys off. I know I’m loud and annoying. But seriously, this class is the best. Wasserman, though it pains me to do so, I have to admit you are one of my favorite teachers. I know our class drives you insane and everything, but we all really do love your class. It’s weird, it feels like we haven’t learned anything because we mess around so much, but I was going over stuff for midterms and I can remember everything we have done. I hope I’m not the only one, because then that would put a damper on the whole “our class is the best” theory I have. I hope the rest of the year turns out to be as good as the first part, and Wasserman I hope we don’t convince you to stop teaching because you really are one of the best teachers I have ever had.
p.s. I apologize if this sucks, I am writing on my sister’s laptop, so it’s kind of throwing me off.
just to prove my bunny point ( if you werent sitting at our table during english today, or you didnt hear me talking you wont get it)
This is the kind of rabbit i was talking about.
slave narrative post 2
“To be a man, and not to be a man–a father without authority–a husband and no protector–is the darkest of fates. Such was the condition of my father, and such is the condition of every slave throughout the
United States: he owns nothing, he can claim nothing. His wife is not his: his children are not his; they can be taken from him, and sold at any minute”
For some reason, out of everything I have read on slavery, this one statement makes more of an impact on me than anything else. It is probably because control is a huge part in my life. If I do not feel in control, I panic. I can not imagine what it would feel like to watch everything I love be taken away from me before my eyes. I would go crazy. I can easily see why Jim ran away in Huckleberry Finn. The idea of being taken from my family against my will is one of my biggest fears. If I had had to live like that, no matter how drastic it is, I probably would have killed myself. I would be in a constant state of fear and anxiety at the thought that at any second my family could disappear.
That will teach you george washington!!

Oh man, I love this. Yes its dumb, yes its awful, but where else can you find a video of someone making fun of George Bush AND Jedi powers?!
update
“Bush wants $100 billion more for wars, report says”
Well…. so much for getting out of the war.
Well… idk what else to say….
“President Bush said Wednesday he would “not be rushed” into a decision on a strategy change for Iraq, saying that in a round of consultations he heard both some interesting ideas and some “ideas that would lead to defeat.”.” Oh man… oh man… what can someone say about this. Ok first off, our presedent is a MORON! God, I just hate the man. How dumb can one person be. It would be funny if he didn’t have such a strong rule over our country, but sadly he ended up as our president. But come on, how highly does that speak of us. We elected him not once, but twice. No wonder everone thinks were idiots. Its obvious there really isnt any plan for Iraq, and they have no plans on leaving. Its rediculous. Please, can we just get this guy out of office?!

No more lost files for me, from this second on I’m lost file free.
I just did a final recheck of my computer to hunt out any other files who manages to evade being posted, just incase something else had managed to wiggle itself deep into my computer. But, after a long and tedious 30 second search I’m proud to say my computer is wiggle file free, and you are all the first people to read all posts created by me.
But just incase you thought that was good, it doesnt really matter. It just means you wasted like 10 minutes of your life reading this blog.
Whos pumped for my second attempt at getting this post up.
I swear, sometimes I wish I could kick the internet in the butt. I feel like if it were a person it would be a very annoying 10 year old boy. The kind that, at the most inconvenient moments, decide to do something stupid. Like kick you in the leg, steal something, or make loud noises with obnoxious toys. Yeah… so pretty much i wrote my entire blog about satire. I was about to post it when i had a grand idea, i decided to add picture to add to the fun of my blog space thing. Literally the second i got them up, the Internet shut down erasing the last 30 minutes of my life. OK, now that I’ve told you all something that will never effect you, and you really didn’t want to hear, ill go on to try to rewrite my satire post before my Internet decides it hates me again.
When it comes to life, very few things really make me laugh. I can watch the funniest movies and not even giggle. Its not that i don’t find them funny, their just not laughing material for me. But when it comes to things like sarcasm, satire, and people moronically getting hurt I cant get enough of it. I think the main reason I’m so in-love with satire is because of its awkwardness. Not only does satire give the person the power to make a complete jerk out of themselves and make fun of something or someone, but it usually makes everyone else uncomfortably happy. Satire makes making people feel like jerks an American pass time. Just look at South Park. Its one of the best examples of satire around. Not only does it make fun of absolutely anything that breaths, but it has managed to gain both loyal fans, and mortal enemies. Like good old Tom Cruise and his Scientology friends. But satire isn’t just a form of the best quality humor, its a tool to pick at problems that really exist in society. The only reason satire is so amazing, is because it proudly states the controversial things people are thinking, but puts a humorous spin on it. The best satiric (<- is that even a word?) comedians are the ones like Sacha Noam Baron Cohen who uses other peoples ignorance to point out social problems. I mean, when life comes down to it, its fun to make fun of people, but its even better to get them to make fun of themselves with out knowing it.
P.s. To brighten up this really long and random post Ive decided to include my favorite world. If you ever get into a fight with someone, just tell them they have an very bulbous nose. Because come on, what kind of dis can you say back to that. Its just so amazing the person will be stunned by your knowledge of awesomeness. Oh BTW, the definition of bulbous is resembling a bulb especially in roundness. Seriously, the words just plain awesome.
Oh BTW, I’m in a really good mood, If you haven’t realized.
One more great Whoopdy Doo for me!
Oh man, only one more left before I have to write the new post about satire. I’m getting close!
Oh man oh man, where should I start on the Macbeth adaptations. Well, before I get into a rant about how I find most redoes of anything annoying, I should just point out I wasn’t the biggest fan of Macbeth in its original state. The book was way to depressing to start off the year. But please, take no offense Wasserman, I’m not questioning your book picking skills, just maybe your timing or order.
I mean, I guess if I were to pick a redo I like the best it would be the movie the Throne of Blood. I love movies, if you didn’t know, and two big parts of having a good movie are 1) scenery and 2) acting. To me it doesn’t matter if the movie is in subtitles. My favorite movie of all times is a foreign French film. If a foreign movie is good enough the dialect should not matter. That’s the best part of Throne of Blood. The movie is created in a way that you can understand what’s going on by the way the characters move and look. But I have to admit, the best part of this film was by far
Lady Asaji Washizu. I’m sorry, but she is by far the best
Lady Macbeth. In my opinion she is much more interesting that the original
Lady Macbeth because of the way she moves and acts. It was just way too weird. But sadly, even good things have their flaws. Even though the movie was amazing, it didn’t have the same supernatural undertone. In the original Macbeth the three witches are creepy women who either know the future, or use Macbeth as a puppet to fallow through with their plan. Either way they are more prominent figures. But I think that is one of the reasons I liked the movie more. It did not hold on to Macbeth. It used it as a guideline, but was not a clone of it. I have to say, the other two adaptations tied in last place for me. They both felt fake and unnecessary. It is as though the writer could not think of anything to write, so just used Shakespeare to get their work published. If I were Shakespeare… and I wasn’t dead… I would be wicked upset that people were butchering my plays like that. When it comes to uMbatha I understand that reading Macbeth from the perspective of another country is interesting, but not enough to really like its writing. To me that is something that should not be a whole story. Actually, I have changed my mind, that or I lied but you’ll never know which, I do have a least favorite. When it comes to really bad Macbeth redoes I give the prize to good old Travesties. Come on people, its called creativity. The Travesties to me was like reading something a five year old would write, but with better vocabulary. When ever I tried to compare the two writings (Macbeth and Travesties) I felt like I was getting dumber. To me the whole thing is just weird and makes no sense. I was pretty disappointed by how unimaginative the writer was. At least the other two adaptations made attempts to put their own twist into the story. Taking a story and changing the ending so dead people come back to life and everyone has a good laugh about it, yeah… not that deep. Now do not get me wrong, I have a good feeling I’m just being a negative
Nancy about all of this. But hey, I pretty much put a warning at the top of this post that I didn’t like any of the four. Besides, when aren’t I negative?!
p.s. Yeah, i did put a smiley in there. And yes, i am that cool.
Oh man… how do i always write so much with out really saying anything? Does anyone actually read all this stuff?
