Ho, ho, ho, merry new year, a jolly kwanzaa, and whatever the hell else made up holidays they have at this time of year. I thought I would share with you all some of the merriment of the last few days. Well...to be honest there really hasn't been any merriment. I'm another year older, another Christmas and year has passed us by, and I'm still surviving, so there really isn't anything to complain about. Strange isn't it? Not having me complain about anything, well give me some time, I'm sure I can come up with something...
Just saw on the news tonight that NASA landed it's new rover on the surface of Mars, and everything went as planned...take that ESA!!! HAHA American superiority at its finest. Although you have to admit, the fact that out of all the shit the world has sent hurtling towards Mars, only about 20% has actually made it there. The rest has either crashed or simply disappeared, never to be heard from again, kind of makes you wonder what's really out there...Maybe it's the Taliban, or terrorists, at least that's what Homeland Security would want you to think. Do us all a favor if you're reading this, pick up an international newspaper, read the stories, see what actually goes on in the world. Can't trust the US press because they only write stories to sell newspapers, seeing as how capitalism is the driving force in our economy. Not necessarily a bad thing, but can be when it gets out of hand, as we're seeing many examples of lately. I refuse to watch the news on TV anymore, because if I did, they'd have me cowering in a bomb shelter with a gun and a statue of Jesus waiting for the end of the earth, rather than living my life normally, realizing that things aren't as bad as the news stations would like you to believe. Well enough of my rant...I could go on for hours.
School starts up again in a little over a week, and I get to retake two classes, yay for me, I'm an idiot. Oh well, look at it this way, at least I won't have to pay that much for books this semester. Now, my only birthday wish is for the administration at Purdue to play a nice game of hide and go fuck yourself.
