2 Times 10 or 4 times 5
Well, I really don’t have anything enlightening, funny, or even worthwhile to share. I guess that’s what happens at the end of the term. I’m suffering school Burnout™ and that’s stressful. Upcoming events include a 20 month anniversary, Valentines Day, and a chance for the rich and famous to show off winter semi-formal. These events have the potential to be enjoyable seeing as they have the ability to remove my mind from school. Also included is the possiblity of a Ben Kweller concert, but the details on that have yet to be ironed out. Luck needed, eh. Regardless, I am predicting the writing here to either drastically improve or become quite sparse when English class starts. Either option is an improvement over the limbo that this front page has been in since senior year began. People tell me its time to start having fun. Maybe my idea of fun is different than others. I sometimes wonder. I just read this article about reality shows. In some ways, it could be seen as scary and a sign of a decline in the quality of culture that these reality shows with stupid premises would hold a wide and varied audience captive. Then again, in this self-proclaimed information age; people are really looking to unhook from pop culture, the media, and information itself and just ‘vej’ out in front of the tube. Some argue Renaissance people were more cultured; but they also died earlier and when they weren’t worried about nutrition, plague, invading nations, or problems caused from the above - they had time to immerse themselves in culture. Because we are literrally bombarded everyday; I think we seek respite. Perhaps not. I gotta remember to think of a point before I start writing.
