Well, the front page really is a good example of how much free time I have. Back in August, and even when school started in September, I had free time up the ass. I had nothing better to do that to bitch and moan on this webpage. But October and November have been hell. Still many times better than any given time in high school, but incredibly stressful all the same. Oh, I'd be a complete ass if I didn't mention that the above 'Right now I am...' thing was inspired by the great Purity site. Seems like an interesting addition to entries.
You may have noticed: I've sold out! There's a little AllAdvantage.com button on my page. I decided to check out one of those "get paid while surfing the net" dealies. I made $.75 last night from browsing. I can't say I can complain. Imagine this. What if someone signed up with AllAdvantage, NetZero, and got a free monitor from BroadScape... There's be no screen real-estate! All those ads would be insane. The things we do for a buck. Anyways, if you click on that link and sign up, I'll recieve some money every hour you're online. But I'm not one of those losers that seriously thinks he can make real money off this, so if you want to be a dick and sign up without my referral number, I'll live (it's GTV-368 by the way).
I am so fucking lazy. I'm not joking. I wont do anything if I can get away with it. I'm a big procrastinator, but I'm also very high-strung and stressed out. So when I have three major school assignments at the same time, I basically run around like a chicken with his head cut off, and I never get any real progress made. Right now I have two papers I need to write (both had first drafts due already, and I haven't even started), and chem and math homework. So what am I doing? Typing this worrying about how royaly fucked I am. I'm not going to get into this school's pre-graphic design program with just the minimum 2.5 GPA...
The other day I went on this weird internet trip. I looked at Slashdot's "Your rights online" stories, and now I'm seriously disgruntled. I hate the government, and I hate politics. I hate capitalism, as well. This gov't is made to fucking serve large corporations, not people. Last year the term on copyright expiration was expanded another 20 years so Disney can protect Mickey Mouse. The entire country was too busy wondering if Monica Lewinsky really sucked Bill's dick to care about some silly copyright bullshit, though. Do you realize that when copyright laws were first enacted, the copyright only lastest for 14 years?! Now it's 90 for corporations! NINETY. Democracy is fucked, capitalism is fucked, communism is fucked, socialism is fucked. No matter how we do it, it doesn't work. I'm not proposing revolution. I think our system is pretty much as good as it gets. But we need to balance it. We need to push back the Wal*Marts and Starbucks. Free enterprise my ass, companies use underhanded techniques to protect market space all the fucking time. Mom and pop stores are constantly going under. When (if!) I graduate with a BA in graphic design, I'm not going to become a little corporate whore. I may at first, to get on my feet, and to get experience. But in the long term, I want to be...free. Design and communication fascinates me. I want to find people like me, who see design as an art and a science. I'd like to work (or start) a business that's privately owned. Fuck this IPO shit.
Christ. I should give this shit up. All of my entries are sounding the same... But fucking nothing is going on in my life right now. School, stress, and homework, that's it. At least next semester I can ad a job to that list.
I just saw the movie Pecker. I highly recomend that you rent it! It's by the guy who made Hairspray and Cry Baby (John Waters). The movie is hilarious, but it's also very...thoughtful. There's a part in the movie where Pecker thanks his sister for making him realize that "Life is nothing if you're not obsessed." It's about human quirks. Our fetishes and obsessions. And the fact that I think Christina Ricci is one of the most attractive actresses I've ever seen doesn't hurt, either. ;-) I don't think you'll ever see a strip scene quit as amusing as in Pecker. If that sounds weird, just rent it already. There's also another quote I liked, "Let your mind go and you'll be free forever." Words to live by, eh?
