Up to here

Yes I know I have not blogged in quite some time. However, I believe this is because I was enjoying my summer and got slightly busy with school. Why now you ask? Well because I'm well into my semester of school and Its all starting to hit me. All those little things that bother me OH so much in my everyday life are starting to eat me alive. Bit by bit, all those people in my life whos little annoying habbits are interfering with my very sanity! That is why I need to blog again. Because if I can't let it all out then im going to explode !

Ah, more to come.

Karma Police

Do you believe in it? Karma that is.
I do.
I mean - I really really hope that it exists. For good and for bad. I believe that people who do great things for others, will one day be rewarded - if they haven't already - with complete happiness. Whatever happiness is to those people, it shall be theirs. On the other hand - what about the people who hurt others? I define "hurt" as anything you want it to be. From manipulation to murder. Do those people deserve to have karma thrown in their faces?
I do.
To what extent? I think that if you have hurt someone, you do not deserve to live a happy life with everything you want and no repercussions. You don't deseve love. You don't deserve fame. You don't deserve everything that, that person you hurt, should have. You do not get to live their life. YOU hurt THEM remember? How is that fair?
This is why I HAVE to believe in karma.
It has to exist - for those people - who know people - that don't deserve what they have.

I'm not going to say that those people deserve to be miserable for the rest of their lives. Only until they realize that what they have done in the past has come full circle to make them feel as awful as the ones they have hurt have felt.

Then again, how do we know when they're going to feel that awful?
Ugh, Karma is complicated.

hey...teacher...leave those kids alone!

In my recent experience of some college classes I have been exposed to many different teaching styles that I was not exposed to in University. Some have been good and some have been absolutely terrible. Lets start with the terrible shall we? I do not understand how SOME, im not saying all, but SOME college "professors", if you want to call them that, actually land a job as a college professor. As a student - of both university and college - I am paying to learn about a certain subject as much as I can possibly stand to soak in about the wonderful world of psychology, or philosophy, or recreation or whatever it is that i enjoy learning about! And im not just paying chump change here, i'm talking loads of money. But hello, im preaching to the choir right? We're all paying through the nose for education. So whyyy is it that some "professors" college and university (although my experience has only been with college thus far) are teaching certain courses that they are clearly so utterly unqualified to teach? Tell me why am I paying all this money for some quack to stand at the front of the room, read off the slides that he or she may not have even put together themselves and appear to me like they actually know what they are talking about?!
I don't understand - if a teacher or prof is teaching a subject shouldn't they be able to answer general questions about the topic at hand? The logical answer would be YES of course, but in my experience some of my teachers have not even been able to do this.

Anyway - I have a lot of studying to do - and packing for the weekend, so I'll continue this blog at a later date!!!

Holiday from Real

It is a known fact that more car accidents happen over this holiday season, than any other time of the year. Between the Christmas holidays and New Years, there are many motor vehicle accidents that occur. Now you might be asking yourself why on earth I am bringing up such a morbid topic at a time when we should be thankful for our family and friends health? Well my friends, I am concerned about this mostly because the past few days I have been a cautious driver, taking into consideration weather conditions that must be dealt with. HOWEVER, it seems like a large percentage of people don't give a crap about the weather conditions. They feel like they can just boot about like its friggin July and not be cautious of the road and of other drivers.
"Why the hell are these people, who don't know how to drive on a nice day, out in this weather?" I ask myself as It takes me 1 hour to drive to a normal 10 minute destination. Seriously, if you can't drive, or are nervous or unsure about driving in snow, PLEASE STAY HOME.
I can't describe how annoying and frustrating it is when people with no common sense decide to risk the lives of other drivers just because they cannot admit that they don't know how to winter drive!

Most of these people are heading to the mall to finish their last minute shopping! It's all well and good if you want to leave it to the last minute, but for god sakes, take A BUS!

One Million Acts

So i have recently taken a liking to the new campaign implemented by CBC and George Strombo, One Million Acts of Green. I personally think it is a great attempt to motivate people to be more "green". I know a lot of people can go absurdly overboard tending to the necessities of the earth. However, these are just simple everyday habits that take no effort at all to change and surprising, when completed by a large sum of people, can actually make a difference. I can understand that all you environmentally friendly skeptical people are probably thinking what you always think ... "what a crock" right? Well maybe, but maybe not? A lot of people think that a small change that they make can't make an impact on the environment. Well you're right, you can't. But together ... we probably could make an extremely small change. But a change nonetheless.
I was explaining to my father the idea of one million acts of green, and although he was intrigued byt the marketing of the idea (hes always looking for good marketing tips), he was skeptical. He asked me "how do they actually know that you did that act of green". Well chuck ... they don't know. Nobody knows. Only you know. I would hope that people aren't lying to themselves to make themselves feel like they are making a difference. In the end my friends, it is only the human race that will suffer.

I'm no tree hugger, but I do have extreme hope for the human race, that one day we can come together as one, and helping the environment is a small, but good start.


So go. Be green.

A blog not worthy of a title

Word.
Ah, yet another attempt to procrastinate from that which is exam preparation. I owe this to my new blog buddy (and roommate) Crash and Burn Girl. If you haven't already, visit her domain. You won't be sorry.
Not only am i procrastinating from my academic studies, but also from the tedious event that is packing. I don't have far to go... once my exams are done I will just reside in my hometown of Hamilton for about a month until school resumes. But the process of packing, even if it's not for a tropical vacation is so mundane.

I'm procrastinating so much that I don't even have a blog topic in mind.
Here's one.
Do you say Boogers? Or Bugers?

haha like my penguin?


okay. enough of the fun and games. I do have a blog worth story.
Today I was at Michaels ( you know..the handy dandy craft store) with a couple of friends, and we were waiting in line at the checkout counter. The lines were not ridiculously long, but they had seemed to be moving like molasses. So, like any store, another employee kindly opened an additional till and announced that she would "help the next person in line". At that moment, a woman standing 3 people behind me and my friends, claimed the spot. " Oh good, i'm late for work" she said. And the employee helped the coustomer like she just didnt bypass 3 god damn people in the line.
Now this woman, wasnt just your ordinary late for work person. She was the bitchiest, most dreadful bus driver any St.Catharines person has ever had to deal with. If you're from around here you know who im talking about. Shes tall, with salt and pepper hair, eyes like ice. She looks at your bus pass so closely that one of these days i'm going to offer her a magnifying class. Shes an A class bully on the streets and apparently everywhere else too.
Why did this lady figure that because she was late for a shift, it was her duity to rudely cut into line and assume that it was her right to be first. I mean, i could have waited all day in that line, i had nothing better to do. But the point is, if you have to work -- why are you at Michaels when you should getting yourself to work? And why are you so friggin mean?
If you want to be a huge douche bag to the bratty university kids on the West Brock Commuter, FINE. But do me a favor and lay off the poor old women who are just trying to buy some craft supplies.
baaahumbug.

This City's a Mess

So it seems I have run into another "blog block". Sounds kind of painful, but it's mostly just a mental pain. Every single time I sit down at this dreadful dell laptop, which i would love to spontaneously combust, so that I cant ask my father very nicely to assist me in the purchase of a MacBook, I cannot seem to find the words to explain how I am feeling about the random crap that urks me oh so much.
Its not like these things, or people, or situations are hard to come by. They fly by me daily, but for some reason these past few months I have found it extremely difficult to even relay into words. I suppose it could be because these situations are becoming more ludicrous than ever before. Or perhaps it is because I am becoming immune to all of my moronic surroundings, in so far that I am immobilized from my ability to gather any sort of opinion about anything. Either way, it is becoming rather irritating.
Anyway, i hope this irrelevant post will help me to break through my block.

You only have 17 more shopping days until Christmas by the way.
Hurry the Eff up.
