Alice falling down the hole…
While just my freshman year, I can understand now the stresses involved with finals time in college. With professors being vague at times about test, assigning work that seems pointless and overwhelming, and an overall feeling that an A is the only thing one will not be seeing at the end of the year, all I can think about is how much I want to burn every one of my school books from this past semester. Is this what I have to look forward to over the next few years. Holy hell, this sucks. That is all I can really day. I feel like Alice, falling down the hole, but this time, I wont be seeing the bottom anytime soon. Just falling and falling in a never ending trip to finally make it to the end. Soon, I will be there. Soon.
On a side note, has anyone seen my mind? I have seemed to have lost it.
Bunny’s revenge…
Random conversation of the day was between myself and my friend Matt involving Easter. Has anyone ever thought of the significance of the holiday, how it started, and the all the crap about the bunnies and the eggs? Well, here is a little history lesson, boys and girls. The idea of the bunnies and eggs, and their relation to easter, comes about from the Pagan religion in Germany, where the both were related back to to the concept of fertility. Since spring is the time of new birth, the common relation was natural. Now, from what I have learned, and could be wrong, when some of the ideas and concepts of the Pagans were mixed into the Christian faith, the idea of continuing on this belief was shared among many Church leaders. Hence, how Easter, the celebration of Jesus’ rebirth, is related back to bunnies and eggs.
Ironic how a Pagan belief, which was scorned and almost destroyed by the Church, shares such practices.
Which brings me to this comic below, that can be found on this webcomic
But soon, there will be revenge ….
Sadly though, the real Easter Bunny has been found dead on the side of a hill….
Have a great night
What I want to see from my President…
Sadly, I am not impressed at all with the candidates of the 2008 Presidential election. As a matter of fact, I am more scared of the individuals involved with these upcoming elections. So, I have come up with a list of the traits that I want to see in a candidate. Realistic or not, this candidate would get my support 100%.
I want to a candidate that would:
- Supports a small government
- Supports women’s rights and their rights to choose
- Supports a strong military, but will not attack unless physically provoked
- Someone that holds the American people accountable for their actions, putting a higher limit on welfare and the amount of time it can be recieved
- Someone who gives back to the country, keeping the people informed of the issues at hand
- Someone who will reform Congress and the Senate
- Hold the elected individuals accountable for their actions in both houses, such as with attendance.
- Limit spending or governmental money that is unnecessary towards the job of the representatives
- Lower the salaries of the individual representatives and make it harder for raises to be voted for
- Someone that will support a “Green” America
- More support for research into eco-friendly technology
- More suppot for eco-friendly companies
In the end, I guess it’s a little too much to ask for a perfect moderate. Someone in the middle. Maybe someday we will see this government stop screwing the American people over. Both parties scare me. Both parties have policies that only come across as failures about to happen. Maybe someday it will change.
