7.2 // day two of this grand venture

It’s only been what, a week or so, since the highly disputed Iranian elections, and already this hot topic seems to be fading into the woodworks (relatively speaking). Such is the fate of any international news item… [Overshadowed by Al Franken's Senatorial (haha) election and the Marines' attempt to gain control of that Afghan valley [...]

6.22 // An interesting point…

From NYT:
“Mr. Qashqavi drew comparisons with American election results.
‘No one encouraged the American people to stage a riot’ because they disagreed with the re-election of George W. Bush in 2004, he said.”
True, so true. This goes to further my point that our current culture is a degenerately complacent one. (Although on this particular subject, I tend [...]

6.22 // On cultural revolution and the wars (and thermite)

[Started this post about a month ago and never got around to finishing it off, so with all my free time I've finally done it. Social activism stuff after the thermite. Oh, I'm not sure, but some stuff may be outdated by now... I don't know. Let me know.]
Such a good day. School – who [...]

Billy Joel // We Didn’t Start The Fire

Amazing song. It makes you think (or it does me, anyway) – it’s so true. People always talk about how terrible the world is and how we’re all screwed; blame flies, fingers are pointed, but really, it’s always been this way and always will be. That’s not saying we should be apathetic – just the [...]

6.14 // and how do YOU feel?

I’m hoping today will be my RECOVERY DAY! (It’s supposed to be really nice out, plus there are like 5 grad parties today…) Throat still kills, but no fever 
Oh, ok, and what about the Iranian election? Seems pretty fishy, doesn’t it? I mean, Ahmadinejad was behind in the polls, then suddenly he comes [...]

No moral dilemma

“…a group of young officers said there was no moral dilemma for them in fighting the Taliban, most of who are fellow Pakistanis. “They are not Muslims despite their claims to be so,” said Lt. Asad Hanif. “A true Muslim cannot slaughter people like the Taliban have been doing.” -NYT

5.13 // I am hot, and when I’m not, I’m cold as ice…

Ah, finally! Someone used “comprise” correctly (as opposed to what people say – ‘is comprised of’ – it should be used like this: China (3, comprising 1 in Hong and 2 in mainland China)” – NYT). So there you have it. Grammar tip of the day.
Back to school today. Of course, it rained on the [...]

5.12 // Who says no to a day off?

Home sick today… although in reality, I probably could’ve gone to school and survived… but it’s nice to have a day off of life sometimes, don’t you think? Especially one as nice as this – about 65, sunny, and hardy a cloud in the sky. Parfait. And although the Cloud of Make-Up Work is looming [...]
