Essays, more on Litvenko and Tur-pope-in.

Well, havn't blogged in awhile. So I might as well start now. Since it's the last day of November 2006. This month will never come again people. Just my luck it's raining outside.

So, I am supposed to be working on my English essay, which is due tommorrow, but I'm blogging instead, as you can see. This seems to be how I write stuff. The essay is basically me talking about Individualism and the counter-culture using various sources. I'm using Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey, V for Vendetta, by Alan Moore, and the first three issues of Transmetropolitan. I've been working on it for weeks and I need a break. This dosn't look good for any future jobs, but I can't write that essay for much longer.

Let's talk about Alexander Litvenko for awhile. You remember that guy, claims to have been killed by the Kremlin. Well, it comes to my attention that this may be just one of those frauds. I don't know what to read, but Mr. Litvenko's Ghost. If your reading this and you faked this whole thing, then I'd like to curse your grave. I'm against oppresive regimes too, but you could at least blame them for things they've done, and not something you said they did. If you actually were poisoned by Putin, then good on you, but if you facked it, I am really disapointed. I wrote something that I thought was really touching man.

Next, Pope Benedict is in Turkey, trying to make up for saying that Muslims convert by the sword, something Christianity never did. Cough cough Conqistadors, cough cough, Crusades, cough cough. Sorry, about that. Damn seasonal allergies. Anyway, Pope Benny has been in really hot water ever since the whole ancient Byzantine text fiascoe and Muslims around the world are so pissed of about the Pope accusing Muslims of being violent that they've rioted, and killed a nun. Great idea by the way, prove your not being violent by attacking stuff. When you look at it really, the Pope's comments are a powder keg. He's the most powerful man on the planet, not just because he's the leader of the largest religious following on the planet, but because of a long history, he's also the leader of a religious group that has seriously pissed of alot of Muslims, especially fanatics like Bin-Laden, who are just looking for an excuse to kill everyone on the planet.

One last thing. Aparently one protestor at the Pope's gathering hade a sign saying "Haghia Sophia is Turkish and will remain Turkish." To him I say, who cares? Can't we all keep Hagia Sophia. Break down the useless political bounderies and unite in human brotherhood man. That's all.

School and saying goodbye to a hero

Me and my dad hade a talk awhile ago about stuff. I've hade a bit of a bad day today because I was far too stressed out and I have no idea how to deal with it. I yelled at some kids who were fighting to stop and I yelled at my EA who was frustrating me because she was hanging over me all the time and telling me to do things and it's driving me crazy and I just cried and hade to go home.

Dad says that I need to learn a lot of things before I reach my ultimate goal of moving out of my house. He says that I need to learn how to pay more attention to my surroundings and manage my time better. This kind of scares me as I don't know how to do this. However, if I want to reach my goal of becoming independent then I'll have to learn how to do this. Also, this would make one heck of a memoir.

Awhile ago I talked about a Russian spy named Alexander Litvenko...

In recent news, a Russian spy has been poisoned recently in unknown cercumstances. It's a pretty interesting story. There's suspition that Purin, leader of Russia is behind this, because the spy, Alexander Litvinenko, has hade some difficulty with the whole Putin-having-his-opponents-killed-off-thing. The poison of choice is believed to be thallium, which looks like salt or sugar, disolves in water and has no odure, but it may be something else. I find this all very interesting. I hade little knowledge about what goes on in Russia. I imagine since there isn't a risk of the Russians dropping an atomic bomb on our heads we don't have much of a visible reason to worry about them. Still, this is kind of disturbing. If Putin's in the mood to knock of his opponents and risk to his regime, then we may soon see Communist Russia come back like a big atomic pheonix. Anyway, if your reading this Mr. Litvinenko, I'm roughting for youl. Keep sticking it to the man.

I am sorry to say that Alexander Litvinko died today in a British hospital. I give my condolences to Mr. Litvinko's family and freinds, if there reading this. Litvinko is a credit to the human species, and coming from me that is a very, very big compliment. May Alexander's legacy of brining up corruption in Putin's government live long after his death. I was going to give Mr. Litvinko an award for his effort, even if that effort would only be a mention on my blog. I hope that his family would approve.

Bye.

I'm not really sure how this post is going to come out. I suppose that I could just do another long rant about how I'm being flooded with homework and how English is driving me nuts and how I desire a freedom unknown to me at this time, but who want's to read that? Is this what my life amounts too? Me whining about my day at school? Sigh.

This should be about my musings. I should be writing stuff that's important here. Instead I just bitch about English class and how I feel that I am trapped in my current life and I don't know how to get out. I feel so small and useless thinking about this. Do any of you enjoy reading about how much I complain?

Things I should write about...

1. Poems. I write poetry sometimes. I should put up some poems.
2. Photography. I don't have a camera, but some pictures would be nice to have around the blog. I don't have any pictures of me with my Jacket of OK-ness and my new +2 Bandana of Roses.
3. More political and cultural commentaries. This means that I should try and read more about politics. I can do that.
4. Be more honest with people. There are some thing about me that you don't know. I'm not sure I want to go through and tell you today, but I figure I might have to tell you eventually. Might be beneficial.
5. GET A SOCIAL LIFE! I need to spend more time with people. I need to learn more about people and I need to start making freinds. I got freinds at the moment but I want them to be better freinds.

This is a bunch of stuff I heard on my yahoo radio. I'm using this as a list so I'll remember to get them. You can look into it for yourself

• Tomorrow, (album Tomorrow. Song: Three Jolly Little Dwarves). Very psychedelic feel, along with a folkish element. Weird, must get.
• Athletes (album: Tourist, Song: Wires) Judged this awhile ago. Has a depressed kind of sound with a bit of majesty. I can see how it is good. There are some jumps but I don't know if there intentional. Should check this out.
• The Coasters, (album: 50 Coastin' Classics. Song: Charlie Brown) This is a good song. Catchy, has this good trumpet thing going. The lyrics are good and simple and the song isn't heavy. It's a nice light fun song.
• The Rutles, just out of curiousity. There a parody of The Beatles by Eric Idle of Monty Python fame.

I want to be a writer. This damn blogging system won't let me end this as a paragraph so we got a run on paragraph or whatever you call this. Kind of like in lines of Alan Ginsberg's poetry. I got the complete collection of his poetic works at the public library. It's pretty good, but I have some difficulty understanding most of it. I have that problem with poetry.

I'm reading The Glass Menagerie in English. Well, I have read it more or less three times over. What with my feelings of overwhelmingness and lack of control oaround my own life I feel a certain kinship with the character Tom. Tom has to support his family by working at a job he hates and has every detail of his life closely monitered by his mother, Amanda. The only liberation he can find is going to the movies night after night, and drinking alcohol. I'm not an alcoholic or have to support my family, but I feel that I am in more or less the place Tom is in. We both have little control over our lives. God I am so goth today.
