So the past week has been semi-crazy. I finally got my first check, I finally socialized with some people and I finally turned in a Calc assignment. Crazy, right?
Anyway, I've been contemplating next year. I don't know if i want to stay here or not. It's tough trying to make a decision based on almost 2 months of being at one place. I don't have much time to decide what I'm going to do soon.
I hate being sleepy. It makes is tougher to concentrate.
Anyway, we had long weekend here, everyone got a much needed break from the continuous cycle we call college. It was nice not to have the same people around and I got to talk to new ones. So college might not be so bad after all. It was good to have the smelly sheep out of the way.
I don't know if i have still adjusted to the smallness/bigness of the school. It's big because it's bigger than my high school. It's small because there are a lot more colleges around here that can totally kick some serious butt.
anyway, i have to finish an easy paper. Maybe i'll write later on.
almost 3 weeks until i make it back to the penitentiary.

BREAKING NEWS
Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize.
HE WHAT?!?!?!

the man who invented the internet, gets the Noble Peace Prize.
wtf? is correct

So I was wondering about the time that i've heard about companies using sweatshops in order to manufacture their over priced merchandise, and I came across this: burning Apple G4.
It kind of makes me glad I got my cheap Gateway. Not only will this computer keep me warm in the winter, but it was also not hard on the pocket, and it won't spontaneously give me a campfire. Hurray!
As someone once said: "Ipod [red], made by little chinese kids to benefit little african kids." Then three months later they come out with iPods that have double the memory of the formerly expensive iPod. I was angry when I found out Apple came out with a new iPod three weeks after i had gotten mine. Oh my iPod didn't directly benefit the Apple company, so that's one less thing that I have to worry about.
Companies these days seem to have their own empires. We're all just the little A.D.D puppets that are being played by these companies; they tell us what's popular, what we need, and what will make us more socially acceptable. Buy, buy BUY. Now I feel guilty of going shopping this weekend. I guess the companies got me on that one, they have huge sales so I can go out and advertise them without me consciously knowing. Consumerism is indeed part of the game of life.
Which puts to question: are you really rich when you have a lot of money? Can it all go to hell once you know that you are set for life?
I personally don't like to get involved with big name organizations, just because if i tell someone that i belong to that group, they automatically assume something of me. Early assumptions are something that I absolutely despise. I hate it. Therefore I don't really talk about what I believe to people that I don't know. It'll be hard to explain the real me. Only the people that know me really well know that the reality behind this is probably because I have OCD. or ADD. i don't know, i still have to decide. I guess it's because I don't want to fit anywhere. I like it when we were still back in elementary school, and no one really socialized outside their classroom. And everyone got valentines on the 14th.

I have nothing better to do.
Finally, some time to chill. I'm actually pretty tired, and I don't know why. I spent most of my day sleeping or shopping.
'Twas a good time at the mall. They had a gigantic sale at Old Navy. Before coming to college, I had never even worn anything Old Navy let alone buy something there.
The deals were all over the place. I hit my favorite place, Hot Topic (haha. That place is way over priced, but I decided to drop in as I always do every time I go to the Mall). I actually got some shirts for $5. One of the workers there told me so. I think he might've been flirting with me. It makes me wonder if he would've done it more had I not been on the phone most of the time I was there. I had the urge to say "Yaaarrr!" since he was wearing a pirate shirt. I would've thought he was some random guy wandering around had he not been a worker there. He definitely didn't have the typical Hot Topic attire. Maybe i'll go visit next weekend.
I probably would've gotten more stuff if I wasn't so A.D.D. What I don't like about that Hot Topic is that they don't have any posters. At ALL. aren't they all about the music? Right, like i'm ever buying one of their over priced CDs. I'd rather bum them off someone. Or get the promo ones. Those are fun.
I've noticed that it's the record companies that get mad when people bum music off each other. I think the actual bands/singers could care less, so long as their music is still being spread. The real money comes from merchandise. Say no to pirated merch. But I still don't get the RIAA. Don't they get enough money already? It's not like they can't afford to not buy their expensive coffee and crappy over priced food anyway.
Hmm. It seems to be getting damn cold. I wish they'd turn the heat on soon. It doesn't help much when the temperatures are pretty close to freezing point. Thanks to prior training, I can go out in this weather in just a hoodie. But pretty soon i'll have to bring out the winter jacket. I wonder what there's to do in mild winters. I heard sledding down the hill is pretty fun. I remember I once made a snowman with a friend. He also had a snowdog to keep him company. I think he melted a few hours later.
Is it good to be sucked in by the air of consumerism? Is it good to have a ton of stuff lying around just so it makes an environment? How do you show your personality in a non-material way? That's been on my mind for some time. Maybe i'll think some more about it later. But right now I am still out of it.
No links this time. Take that blogger.

I R blog during teh day!
yes, it's possible.
So i guess i posted up wayy too many links and Blogger was wrongly accusing me of being a Spam robot. So, I had to prove I wasn't and do some e-paperwork.
Well....school is not going to good, I need to study more. I also got a craving for Chinese food which i must satisfy. So I must be off.
Ciao for now.

Communism
I haven't posted here since last month! how sad.
Have your parents ever told you that communism was really bad? Did you ever wonder why?
I did some skimming research on the subject, and i found this:
I finally took a look at Sicko, Good job Moore, we all know of another thing that you hate. How much money did you make on bitching about the government again?
Well, that's enough of that, on to communism...
It turns out that communism might not be so bad, Cuba has free health care, China is loading up on US dollars due to shipping jobs overseas.
I remember this one time, there was someone who called for me asking me if i wanted to open up a credit card with some bank, i really don't remember what bank, anyway, the caller was obviously indian, and he couldn't take a hint that i didn't want a credit card. so, wtf. leave me alone. I had to hang up on the guy because i didn't want to bitch him out over the phone about some stupid credit card.
So it worries me, is the U.S. government as glorious as people make it to be? I have a friend in Denmark who's pastime now seems to be to research anything anti-american and right away send me the link.
hmm, i have some fun with it. Most of the link i get are about the war in Iraq, about how there is no exit strategy, and how we're only there for the oil. What I want to tell him is please tell me something new!
What if America went the way of the communists? What if everyone had the same rights to everything, the same education level, and the same income. Well then, we wouldn't have all these bitchy bloggers complaining about their life and how no one understands them. Hmm. Come to think of it, swaying away from the socialist and marxist paths, it brings me entertainment.
So America! Please keep in your corruptive, stubborn, helpless path. I kind of like it =).
now..for sleep, i must complete the duties of a college student, aka, i need to finish my homework in the morning.
