The fourth blog, a recounting

Yo readers. How goes it? Good I hope. Today will be a glorious day for blogging, as any and most days are. Does this grammatically make sense, and since when did the rules of grammer have any control on the heart and soul of the men who created it? But I digress.

Work was work. Simple as that. Normal stuff, putting pieces of metal in boxes, ect. Chuck and Mauro have revealed themselves to be racists, which is, if nothing else, pretty entertaiing to me. We talked about Manny Ramierez and the big trade and hockey and nascar and other things. Honestly, I'm just not that into sports. I heard a quote a while ago, and I have always thought it was true. Sports are the toy section in the department store of life. It all ust seems sort of trivial to me, and honestly I'd rather go do something--climb a mountain, go excersize, read a book-- then sit in fro tof the tv and watch people I dont know play a sport I don't particularly care about. But whatever, I guess its a crutch for people that simply don't have anything better to do with their time, something to obsess over and stare at whil their lives slowly pass before them.

On to happier thoughts, I got my copy of The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank. I don't think I ever rad the unabridged version of this book, so I'm looking forward to doing just that while I am up in new Hampshire camping. as previously stated, the Holocaust sort of interests me in an odd way, in that I can't fathom it. I hope that by reading and envisioning the experiences of a real live person-- a girl not so much younger then I am--I will be able to better understand it. Also, it i one of those books you ust have to re-read at some point in your life, you know? Anyway, that should be fun.

But yeah, as referenced above, I'm going camping for the next few days. Leaving tomorrow afternoon and will be returning some time on Sunday. Should be fun, I havent gone in a while. Gonna try to conserve as much money as I can though, as its going to be an expensive next couple of weeks for me. But regardless, theres something about the woods, and getting away from sirens and asphalt thats just good for a mans soul. So, that should be pretty sick.

So I'm not gonna name names to protect the identity of the innocent, but someone did something that was pretty terrible to someone else involving a facebook account and a faux confession of emotion. While its not certain what exactly went down, or even what bodies took part in said affair, whomever did it delved to a all sorts of new lows. While the victom and I may not be on the best of terms, no one deserves that kind of stuff to happen. 4 words. Karma is a bitch.

On to the rant, on a subject near and dear to my heart: The Library!

I love the library. It is as simple as that. Its a great resource to get anything you want media related. Want a dvd? They can get it for you. A book? It's a library, what do you think? An obscure 1930's movie starring some old dead actor you vaguely remember? Its a done deal. The original bible...perhaps not. But honestly, its such a magnificent resource ofr a community. Theres a lot of stuff going on, and its really not the dull and boring place people think it is. I only wish I had discovered how wonderful it was at an earlier age, and taken full advantage of it. Oh well, chin up and no regrets, right?

I guess thats sort of a weak rant, as I didnt rant about anything really. So let me think of something worth ranting over for a special bonus rant.

hmmm...

There are a bunch of topics im looking forward to writing about in the future, like obesity, chivalry, potentials, the myth of equality, ect. But today should be a smaller rant, as its late and I already sort of ranted. So maybe a small rant about

Country Music!


Anyone else have a problem with country music? Or perhaps I should be asking if anyone is really cool with it. I understand it has a fan base, but it really strikes me as this souless trash heap of music that needs serious overhaul. For example, all the songs are about the same basic things. god, drinking, southern culture, america, war, ect. There just, isint any originality in the genre. Its all country white guys singing about how much they love America/their wives/sports/drinking/being hicks. And It gets old. There are obviously exceptions, and the older you go with country the more original it becomes. I'd wager to say that old country resonated with something of the spirit of rural white America, the tue voices and echos from the hills and lowland vallys of the old west and rural south. But the stuff they mass produce now? nothing put po music targeted toward people with little respect for themselves, so blinded by icons of americana that they can't open their eyes to see true originality. I dunno, some of the songs are certainly catchy, but I just can't thin of it as anyhting other then mass produced pop music for hicks.


And that....


is that.
