Man, what the fuck is up with cartoons these days? I just watched Woody Wood Pecker a few hours ago...but it's not the Woody I watched when I was little. Some buttfucking executive somewhere thought, "Hey, lets take the classic Woody Wood Pecker cartoon, and make it really sucky! The kids will love it!" Woody now looks like he's rabid, the animation is shit, and I didn't even hear his trademark "Heh-heh-heh-heeh!" Woody is now just some generic cartoon "with additude" and he's "in your face." WHAT THE FUCK? The part I saw was about Woody stealing his neighbors cable! What the fuck kind of dumb ass situation is that? It doesn't stop at Woody Wood Pecker, either. I loved Voltron when I was little...hell, I still love it! So what the fuck possessed some dumb American to make a new 3D rendered show based on the Japanese original? I'd say money, but I don't see any benefit to re-doing an old TV show. It's not like some five-year-old has any idea what the fuck some cartoon from the 80s is. Why can't they just leave old shit alone? If you want to make sucky cartoons, make your own! Why must they drag some classic name through the mud? Whats next? Chilly Willy and his niggas gonna pop a cap in some bitch's ass?

Man, if you ever needed more proof that I'm a freak, here it is. I'm 18 and I love racing games like Sega Rally 2 and Gran Turismo...but I don't even have a license! Why would someone not immediately get a license when they're 16, you ask? My old excuse was that if I got a license then I'd become my family's fucking chauffer, which is true. I have a permit, and I've had behind-the-wheel lessons, and yet I hesistate to get a license. I think it's because I have some kind of anxiety problem. I don't really have any problems while I'm driving, it's before. I get panicky and worried that I don't know some obscure law or something else stupid. I've had no problem driving in the inner-city and on the high-way, but fuck I'm a mess before I get in the car. Can you imagine how I'd be before the actual behind-the-wheel driver's test? I've just decided to put off getting a license, and I got a state ID instead. If anyone gives me shit for not having a license, they can suck my dick.

Well, I sorta did this online journal thing backwards. It turns out there's fucking thousands of online journals. I never really thought that many people would do it... Well, here I am, and I decided to join the journal web ring (even if it meant fucking with the link colors on my front page). Hell, at this point I don't even really consider this much of a journal...more like a collectin of my opinions and rants. I suppose once college starts and things actually worth writing about start happening things will start to pick up.

Okay... I kinda didn't want to talk about this...but I guess I am anyways. So some school district somewhere (Kansas?) has decided to "de-emphasize" the theory of evolution in their schools. So naturally everyone gets their panties in a wad and all hell breaks loose. I'm not sure what they mean by de-emphasize. Are they just going to not talk about the creation of man at all, or are they going to preach a particular religion's theory? It doesn't matter, really. The problem is WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FUCK MAN CAME FROM. There's evidence, theories, faith--it doesn't matter. We still don't know for a fact...so why must we teach it that way? Why can't schools say, "Here's the theory of evolution. It's a very popular theory, and there's even some evidence to support it. You should talk to your parent's about your own family's thoughts of the beginning of mankind." Yes, I know it's very radical to think that a person would learn their ideas or beliefs from their family, but just bear with me. I remember in biology in HS we went over all of the theories of the atom...even the ones that have been disproven and are outdated. Why can't we do that for evolution/creation? Well, there's an assload of religions, and if one of them is over looked, they'll be hell to pay. And whenever religion enters public schools, things get messy. I just think we should be frank with our kids. We don't know where we came from. There's the theory of evolution, and there's the myriad of religions. Draw your own conclusions. We're so obsessed with controlling what our children think. It drives us mad to even think they can have their own independant thoughts. They have to think how we think! Well, fuck 'em. I don't give a shit. I'm just waiting for some catacylsmic event that will proove that everyone is wrong. Even if one particular religion was 'right' at one point, the truth has probably been so diluted and polluted with corruption that it doesn't even matter anymore. I think that religion is the root of all evil. What good has ever come of it? Nothing but death and tyranny. Religion is responsible for most of the world's atrocities. And the saddest part of all is that it's all for nothing. So many people die 'in the name of God' that it's disgusting. We're all gonna die, so just shut the fuck up and leave everyone alone.

Well, now that I've pissed everyone off, I feel better!
