They want to drop me like an awkward subject

Word.

So today has put me into a particularly sour mood all things considered. Granted, it's only ever the stupid inconviniences that ever really upset anyone, but I've caught a couple that are just supremely irritating. My phone decided it's just not down for working anymore for one reason or another, which is just no fun at all. That, and it seems like I can never own a single computer with a working cd burner, which is a pretty mild inconvinience. What's really put got me over the edge today is how brutally retarded my advanced expository class is.

Firstly, the name of the class alone should signify that there should be more writing than the amount of reading required. This is clearly not the case in this class. Secondly, it should be expected that the readings that are required are by talented writers, and if not talented writers, writers with some grasp of the concept of effectiveness.

But no. Instead, the only fucking thing we've read about has been bleeding-heart, please-pity-my-fucking-struggle-against-the-overtly-masculine-society feminists. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm all for equal treatment of the sexes, and all for women's rights (reproductive and otherwise), but reading all of thise garbage by writers who should be relegated to writing drivel like Twilight makes me honestly despise anything feminism ever stood for. I'm a forward thinking person, and this shit is making me turn caveman on these navel picking dumbshits who honestly think they are changing anyone's fucking minds. Most people who would read this shit would probably end up becoming so infuriated by the end, that women would end up living in crates and eating moldy bread soup. Internment camps? What is yes?

But I know that's not right. I'm down for equal rights and all of that. So if we're going to have equal rights, then toss a few bones our way and look at how privaleged some women have it. Why shouldn't a father get paternity leave? Why is it mostly a dude who has to pay child support to his wife, yet in the rare case that the father wins custody, the wife normally isn't relagated to pay it? Doesn't sound very fucking equal from this side of the table.

So feminism can shove it for all I care; it's about as equal as it will ever get. And not for nothing, but why does it have to be feminism? Women if women are looking for equal rights, why give it such a male disclusionary name? I understand that only a faction of feminists are man-hating lesbians, so why is there any need for it? I just don't understand what I'm missing

Since this was such an outwardly negative blog, how about a round of some of the most comically terrible bands I can think of? I think that's a great idea actually.

Coheed & Cambria
Okay, so yeah, they do have a couple of good songs. A few. Very few, as a matter of fact. The saddest part about Coheed though is the fact that they are being heiled by so many as the future of music, and claimed to be doing such revolutionary things when their last album was a mess of saccharine pop hooks, Van Halen hair metal rip-off moments, and recycled riffs from the Alan Parsons Project. And that's just the music. The lyrics scream "40 year old virgin" more than most early morning weathermen do. I mean really, sci-fi worlds of total fantacy are okay if you are like 13, but once you get through middle school, it's kinda time to give that shit up.

The White Stripes
I've never understood the appeal of the White Stripes. Ever. Even discounting the fact that there is some weird, kinky Hannibal Lector-esque relationship going on between the brother-sister/ex-husband-and-wife/father-daughter duo, this band just makes no sort of concievable decency between the two. So they don't have a bassist? And the drummer is a girl? What's the point? They make flaccid post-grunge radio-rock with a limp-dick, pre-pubescent sounding vocalist, and uninteresting and flaccid choruses. Overrated, and just terrible in general.

Slayer
I think I'm one of the few dudes who both likes metal and has drank High Life on a regular basis for the good part of a year and a half who doesn't understand the appeal of Slayer at all. Yeah, they made really fast thrash metal with lots of arpeggios. But so does Municipal Waste. And the difference between the two is that Municipal Waste is actually fun to listen to, whereas Slayer just comes off as a bunch of 45 year old dildos who are trying to be satanic to retain any semblence of bad-assery they ever had. Fail. Give me lyrics about beer bongs and santanic wizards any day of the week

I'm sure I could think of more, but maybe I'll expand this list later. Right now, I'm about to go make some chicken teriyaki and fried rice. Mmm how I love fried rice.

I need a hair cut,
