Jimmy Tango's Method
Hey, once again I am faced with the prospect of having to live up to the previous entries by making yet another long post, good thing I have some stuff to talk about. :P
To start off with, I am safe and very much alive, besides the obvious threat that I would "have my head knocked off", I love it when people act big online then hide away in public, although Ross did take to shouting Scum at me, funny, I didn't see any scum nearby... Oh wait, isn't his hair multiple colours? Maybe...
Anyways, that's out of the way. Now to return to your regular broadcasting:
Sunday was a pretty boring day to be honest, I woke up pretty late for a weekend, twelve-ish, or around then. Can't really remember, just went about my morning routine (Even though I know it was noon by then), made my lunch and got stuck into some homework for English, just some textual analysis questions, pretty easy to be honest. After that I finished reading "The Industry Of Souls" by Martin Booth, it's the book I am doing for my personal study in English, it is pretty damn good. It's about a man who goes to Russia on a business trip during the USSR period, and gets falsely accused of crimes against the Communist Government, and quickly sent to the gulag (Russian Prison/Mining Camp) without a trial, the book talks about his experiences within the gulag and when he left it to live in a small Russian village after the collapse of the USSR. It is a very good story, the characters are all amazing and it is littered with hilarious jokes.
Besides that I just spent Sunday lazing around mostly, doing my usual chores so I can get money and what not. Ah well, easy pickings. Oh yeah, I have been discussing it with my parents and the chances are that on November the 12th, not long after my birthday, I will be going to see the legends BoysNightOut! Woot, my first gig! Legendary, apparently it is at Barfly which is an open gig with no barriers or anything, just the crowd and the band. And after seeing Connor's antics on the "Dude You Need To Stop Dancing" DVD, I am definately looking forward to it. Should be amazing, I will be going with Pollo and Scott hopefully, but I bet I will see a few other people that I know there.
Monday was pretty fun, I must say, I am definately a Monday-person. Graphics was actually enjoyable, for some weird reason. We are now onto measured two-point perspective which, although it appears complex at first, is pretty easy to be honest. Art was good fun, a little boring, but fun. I am getting used to my new seat, it is alright I guess, Michelle is nearby, so I can kinda talk to her if I get the chance, but I have Design tommorrow so I will be back with Jenny, Shiona and Michelle, fun! (Note: That is a genuine "Fun!") We finally got split up in Computing, thankfully I am with Paul and Thomas still, so there should be a lot of laughs ahead of my Compuing course now, although saying that I do have Mr Purdue. :\ Started Social Ed. today, well, I didn't really, we got our class but I just joked with Pollo and listened to Mrs Kincaid moaning about some fat woman with hairy armpits who got her ass grabbed. (I am not exaggerating, those were her actual words!) History was amazing as usual, no one makes the Cold War any more amazing than Mr Roberts, he is definately a legend. We got to watch a movie and I was witness to Lucy having her reproductive organs threatened very violently for talking too much to Pollo, while she was blowing bubbles with her chewing gum. English last period was alright, I told Ms. Jones my plans so far for my personal study, she seemed alright with it but somehow a little annoyed that I had planned most of it out myself, as if she wanted to have more of a say in it. Ah well, she is the best English teacher, I guess if she changes it a little I can trust in her decision.
Also, just to finish this post off I would like to end with a little rant, about nothing other than "Online Arguments". Seriously, I used to be a major producer of these things, and it is that large amount of experience that has led me to hate them so much, I mean, Hell, I will debate with someone, but the minute someone resorts to swearing, I am bored and out of it. I mean, what is the point of arguing online? You can't see emotion so you can't be witty or sarcastic without being plainly obvious, SHOUTING LIKE THIS HAS NO EFFECT EITHER, IT JUST MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT WHO CAN'T TAKE OFF THE CAPSLOCK BUTTON (I did all of that with the shift button down, just to clarify :P), and another reason I hate them is because no one sticks to the main subject, myself included, it is a never-ending loop of excuses and blame throwing, oh yeah, and it's full of people constantly changing their stories... I mean, sake. If you can't take the fire, stay out of the furnace! Also, use of "Sheesh, it was only a joke" has got to be the lamest excuse ever, it basically translates as this "I am pretty much stuck for the words at the moment, so instead of backing down I am going to throw coal into the furnace and see if I can build up a bigger blaze of anger." Basically, it's just stupid. Also, accusing the other person of being too serious or angry for no reason after you start an argument which seems to constantly make them look like the bad guy is a fucking stupid tactic, it just shows that you are too stupid to keep yourself serious so you have to resort to discrediting the other arguer.
Man, I hate arguing, but ranting is great fun, mostly because no one can slip a comment in until you are finished. :P Which I am, adios.
