Whats wrong with our school programs

Our school system sucks pretty bad I would say. I don't know everything about it so I'm not going to act like I do but in my opinion some things just need to change. First off starting school at 8 o'clock for highschool and 9 for elementry schoolers? really? The kids that get up and run around at 6 in the morning get the most time in the morning while teenagers like myself who actually enjoy sleep get less time in the morning. I guerantee that if school went from 10-4:45 instead I would pay attention a lot better and be way more energetic and ready for the day. Like on 2 hour delays I much better simply because I got way more sleep. On to a much larger topic involving the school system...

WHY do I have to take all these stupid required classes like chemistry, Algebra 2, LA 10 etc. The reason I get from teachers is that oh well its for people who dont really know what they want to do so mabey one of these classes will spark their interest in something. Or its to get a better education and become a more well rounded person. WOW what a load of crap. I know teachers hear this a lot but I REALLY will not need to know ANY of this crap. I think that schools should only require up to the algebra 1 level in math and students should only have to understand the english language in LA none of this shakespeare bullcrap. After the requirements classes should be o fully ptional on what you want to take and their should be more career oriented classes that actually prepare students for their future. A second thing homework. I mean really? why? I come to school to work and than I go home to relax. I go to school 5 days of the week and I get 2 free days. On top of that ratio you also want me to take home work from school? What is the point of it? Most all teachers base most of their grades on homework and this is just ridiculous. All this does is reward students for getting something pointless done. wooo you completed a worksheet, you could have copied it or bullshited it. Grades should soley be based on class participation and knowledge of the material. The occasional take home project is alright but homework is just pointless. alright I'm going to stop ranting now.

Reflecting on blogging

It has been almost an entire school year since I started blogging on this thing and i have come to the conclusion that blogging is not that bad. I would probably not do it in my free time at home but it's probably the best school assignment I have probably ever had. I'm very glad that I finally had an assignment that let me write about exactly what I wanted to write about and not just writing about stupid things that meant nothing to me like Romeo and Juliet. When I first heard that we were going to blog in this class I really didnt know what to think. I had the idea that we were probably just going to blog about boring school related stuff but when I heard that it would be about whatever we wanted I was very excited. Out of my many posts I do have a few favorites. Such as

I would say the only hard thing about this assignment is trying to keep coming up with so many things to blog about and keeping it fresh without boring the reader. Other than that my reaction to blogging is pretty positive. I enjoyed it as an assignment and would recommend that more teachers use this technique.

My favorites

The first image is that of my randall cab. It has 2 criss-crossed celestion speakers with different sounds. the second picture is of my ENGL Powerball tube head and it gives me just about every sound I could ever need. It gives me perfect tone. there are 4 channels w/ 4 master volumes. Another great feature on this tube amp head is that it has a built in noise gate knob in the back. This lets me elimate all the unwanted noise inbetween notes. The final image is of my Ibanez s-series guitar. It is my favorite guitar that I own and it plays very well.

What is up with the summer slaughter tour?!??!?

Ugh.....Really?

that was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this years line up for the summer slaughter tour. Suffokation? Necrophagist?? oh my god it is just terrible. The thought that a band named "dying Fetus" can play amongst the ranks of After the Burial makes me want to give up on music forever. Don't even get me started on "suffokation." First off are you kidding me look at their logo. probablt the worst logo I have ever seen. The band name sucks and they sound like a bunch of middle aged men that didnt give up on their dream like I wish they would have years ago so now all the dirty long haired 30 year old men can have a band to go see besides all their beloved Slayer and Pantera cover bands. Well who should be headlining you ask? It's obvious.. After the Burial.

nuff said.

747 is the Sh!t.

I am currently listening to the song 747 by Knights of the abyss of their EP Decapitations of the Dark ages. And its RAW! I wish Knights of the Abyss would make their new songs more like it!

My anger against conservative values

Ok lets get this straight I am not a democrat. I would say that I have liberal ideals with a more rebulican look at the government polocies. I don't believe in people paying ridiculous taxes to pay for others but I do believe that money from the government should go out to those who need it. Than people say taxes are government money thats where they get the money to pay for stuff blah blah ya i know but I'm talking about the money givin to government officials after they leave office. Some still get a pay check and some are just handed loads of money and free mailing services and all other sorts of payed benifits. That money should be going to the lower and middle class people who need financial assistance not of every wealthy american because believe it or not, not all of them are heartless evil capitalists trying to keep the poor man down. ANYWAY now to the real topic.

My anger with conservative values begin with their fetish with the "good old days." Oh ya the good old days when gays and other minorities were seen as evil or less than a regular white person. The good old days when the white man was the head of the household and the woman stayed at home all day. The good old days where every sunday everyone went to church and there was no questioning the all mighty "God." The good old days where we all obeyed and didn't question our leaders in government. In my eyes conservatives are against progress. Um hello CONSERVatives. They want to conserve the good old days and the values from them. They are against new ways of society that betray their old ideals kinda like a Little kid that doesn't want to give away his bear away so they get all pissy and start throwing their blocks at other kids who have already givin up their bear or never had one.
