OH MAN
I just got out of my developing world class where we had a nice discussion about marxism. It really gave me a great deal of hope for my generation. There were actually people in this debate that thought marxism was a good idea and that the U.S. should socialize! I, of course aspiring to be a socialist theory based poltician, felt a great deal of hope for the first time in a while for the intellectual future of my young compadres. There was still your gung ho all American boys who were saying how amazing capitlaism is and how nothing could ever be better. The simple fact is that capitlaism supports inequality. As a basic theory it basically stated "Everyones trying to be better than everyone else". And inequality among people in the country was written off under the premise that eventually when the country gains enough wealth those problems would work themselves out. First off that is a lazy and stupid approach. The constant rape of third world countries and the economic imperialism practiced by this country is absolutley horrendus and we as a country of free peoples must see that Capitalism is the direct link to all of these atrocities. Capitalism kills and destroys hundereds of lives each day and poverty even in this country is on the rise. The highest form of capitalism is imperialism when we try so hard to be better than the next that we take over every other country and use the rape of that country to our advantage and to gain more wealth for us. If you think it's not already going on then look at all of the shit in your room and see if its not made in some foreign country that we exploite their workers to make goods for cheap just so that we can be the best capitalist we can be.
Well I say to hell with that. If we adopt a democratic and mostly socialist system we can ensure the economic and political freedoms of everyone all over the world like Mr. Bush always says hes going to do when all he's managed to do is kill alot of Iraqi's (oh yeah and alot of our own country men too). Americans have to wake up and realize that communism is still the red menace but socialism definitley is not. It's working well in countries like France, Canada, and Denmark who have see great economic growth and a much better human rights situation than the US is promoting around the world.

| my weekend |
[19 Sep 2006|07:22pm] |
so here's how my weekend went.
Friday night: went out with brittany, brewer, kristan, and tyler to the movies and saw a horrible movie called the black dahlia. After that we went to Krogers where Kristan bought a box of wine for us. Afterwards we proceeded to Brittany's house where we drank with all of the aformentioned people plus Alice(Brittany's Japanese friend), Justin, and Kaleena. While there I decided to get super trashed. Apparently so did Brewer and he drank about a liter and a half of wine. While drunk him and Brittany got into an argument, the details of which I cannot speculate upon. It eventually got really heated and we ended up following the two of them back to Brewer's apartment. While there for one reason or another i raised my voice at Brittany. Some guy comes outside on the upper balcony and starts yelling at me and telling me to "never fucking yell at women". I get angry immediatley, of course, and say "Fuck you man, you don't even fuckin know whats goin on... You wanna fuckin go?!". Yeah I know... STUPID. Anyway the next thing i remember I was getting punched in the face and the next thing i remember is me spitting blood into brittany's sink. I don't remember walking to Brittanys or even fighting the guy but apparently I got my ass beat. So my nose is still a little sore from all that but i think it brought me closer to these guys that I was kinda weary about hanging out with like brewer and jansen cause i thought they hated me. Well anyway I guess I really need a good ass beating to knock me down a notch and tell me that I can't beat most people up under most circumstances. Definitley a sobering experience.
My weekend

today might be 9/11 but for some reason no one seems to know about a seperate 9/11 that also lived in infamy.
A day in which the democratically elected government of Chile was overthrown by a dictator that had the full backing of the U.S. He went through and killed over three thousand people that day that were leftists or questioning of the government. All of this happening with weapons from the U.S. and troops that were trained using U.S. dollars. The United States had full knowledge of this events and continues to suppor them to this day. Why is there no moment of silence in for the 3,000 chileans openly slain by Augusto Pinochet and the 130,000 that were kidnapped, detained and tortured by the dictator that we still to this day support.
If we are such a freedom loving country and hate all those who try to take it such as those who commited those horrendus attacks on 9-11 then why did we allow a 9-11 of an almost equal scale go on in chile and why do we still support this dictator who takes freedoms from these people everyday.
I'm not saying that even the amount of people that died on 9-11 died that day in Chile or that this is a worse tragedy or that we shouldn't mourn those who were killed that day. But just think about where your allegiance lies first and actually make an effort to know what your government is in support of. And go watch loose change on youtube, it will chang your life.
God rest the souls we lost on both 9-11's

throwing down was about the highlight of my week besides one other thing.
Other than that nothing but stress and sadness. Breaking up was supposed to be over a long time ago. Why's it still happening... It's like ripping a bandaid off a milimeter an hour.

Dead Poetic "Modern Morbid Prophecy" |
] |
I've met some history majors that are awesome people
but I've also met some history majors that are the biggest fucking idiots ever. They have seriously made me consider changing my major. Like those stuck up faggots that claim to know absolutley everything about the worlds history but have no idea whats going on around them. Yeah them, they get on my damn nerves because even when I do know the answer they sit there and spew out some answer from their mouths that is incredibly vague and neutral that could be the answer to anything and the teachers like "uhmmm do you mean the mongels?" and they're like "Oh yeah thats what I meant by those kind of asian people!". I swear to christ's virgin asshole they get on my nerves.

Class is going well
I'm really looking forward to my developing world class today he taught us about Columbia and how we pay so that they can kill 3000 people every year and consider Venezuela an enemy because their president believes in redistributing the wealth there. Good stuff

4. You're an ignorant bitch, everyone knows your not as standoffish as you come across as. You think that everyone thinks you're so cool and so indenpendent and such a strong person but really you just come off as a bitch to everyone that is not a bitch themselves. You think that everyone owes you so much but let me tell you something, nobody owes you shit, especially not me. You complain about having to raise me and doing things that a mother does but if i had known that i would be such a burden i wouldve stayed in your stomach goddamnit.
5. I want to show you how you are to people and how bad your constant betrayl hurts.
6. You are a two faced asshole. I don't see why i even really liked you now. I just hope you know who you are and stay the fuck away from me, you're the one person whom I endulge what I've become with. Fuck off
7. I feel like total and utter shit that we don't talk anymore. I really was hoping that you would become one of my bestfriends ever. I hope that's still a possiblity. Well I guess there's always next year.

List up to ten (10) things you want to say to ten (10) different people. Do not state who these people are. Do not confirm or deny any 'comment speculation.' Tag five (5) people.
1. I seriously am completley incapabable of understanding you anymore. The times we had together were admittedly very much fun. I can't tell if I have changed so much over these few years of it's you. Sometimes I'd like to think it's completley you so that way I don't have to feel guilty, but if were being honest, then honestly, I've changed for the worst and everybody knows it. You can see all my flaws and probably know me better than most, that's probably why I pushed you away because I don't want to hear about the angry spiteful bastard i have become. Please don't do me any favors because I'd like to see you do yourself a few.
2. I feel the entire spectrum of emotions when I'm around you most times and I don't know how to feel about that. When it comes to you, I'm always worried to be hones and that scares me cause i usually don't worry about anything at all.
3. You are a stupid bastard. You have no idea what you are talking about with almost anything that you say. Maybe you're one of the reasons why im such jackass... No that's my fault... Either way I can't stand you anymore and it honestly really does tear me up inside to know that i could have so much contmept for you. Go get a life.
More to come, when I have time.

Underoath*"Casting Such a Thing Shadow"* |
] |
Today we watched a video in Sociology about the rise of the christian right. Basically this video showed two seperate sides of the christian right. That of the christian coalition and that of an anti abortion sect which I cannot recall the name of right now. The Christian Coalition took a position of using politics to advance christianity's goals in advancing society to be more godly or religious or moral or whatever. The other group showed the grassroots groups who believed in social action and rallies and things like that so that the group would not become corrupted by being involved in the political game.
The first thing I noticed is that Harry Reed, the leader of the Christian Coalition, was heavily involved in anti socalist rallies during the cold war before he converted to christianity. He was one of the millions that was brainwashed into thinking that all of the communist party or a socialist in general is the devil. It's this kind of person that got us into Vietnam. He then became a born again christian but he had already had a great deal of political experience with his protest movements during the 60s. Once he became a politcal activist for christians he sacraficed many of his christian "values" in order to better teh christian right as far as their hold on power in the government. He would lean one way or another in order to gain support for more or less conservative voters in order to further the power of the christian right. To me this seems like a perversion of everything that christianity is supposed to stand for. It's a religion based on absolute faith in something that you cannot see touch or hear. To compromise that faith to acheive politcal ends is just simply wrong.
The other guy that spoke was a man that was severly against abortion and even more adimatley against the furthering of gay's in society whatsoever. Although I did support this man's position more than Harry Reed, this man is also someone who I consider to be flawed as far as his views on christianity go. First of all both of these men believed that the seperation of church and state should be a much more blurred line. Lest we forget what has happened in the past under proposed and formal theocracies, mass genocide has occured on several occasions just because someone thought differently than the state does. A theocracy is nothing short of a facist dictatorship, the dictator being the head of the church. Millions of jews and pagans were killed during the inquisition. Millions of jews, muslims and pagans were also killed during the crusades. People are running planes into buildings now because they believe so heavily in a warped view of a non violent religion. I don't think we need whole armies under the control of people like that and if we do not keep church a completley seperate entity from the state believe me that is what will happen. Just because we may never declare ourselves a theocracy does not mean that one day the church may not have more power than the state itself. People are much more heavily swayed by the church than they ever will be by the state because the state of course cannot promise eternal salvation if the people follow it.
The amount of conservative closed eyed and ears christians in ,my sociology class literally blows my mind. These people believe that every word in the bible is truth and comes directly from god even though it says it was obviously written by men. People that exist in this very world. The bible we read to day is not even the one that jesus inteded us to read. There are books missing from the bible that we may never find. One such book was the dead sea scrolls. This book contains information that we have never even begin to have heard of in the others. The bible is at best a corrupt document and should be considered and pondered over in our own hearts before we believe everything that it says. It has been altered and changed edited and cut apart during its many translations and during the many in surrections and corruptions of the midevil church. Those that claim that homosexuality is a sin and is the work of the devil refer to the book of leveticus where it explicitly says that God forbids men to lay with other men. The book of leveticus also condems touching the skin of a dead pig. what moral purpose either of those could have on our lives is beyond me and it simply displays the cultural context of when the bible was written. We touch footballs all the time but you don't see the christian coalition rallying in front of footballs stadiums. I attribute it to the view of women in the quran. Women are told to be obedient in the quran because that is what the custom was in the culture. Just as it was against custom to be homosexual in the old testemant times and apparently against custom to touch a dead pig, probably because they carried disease not because God came down and said don't do that!
We must take everything into context and question everything. I hope that when u read what i have written you question me just as I hope you question to some extent everything else in your life. Close minded people are going to be the majority when we grow up so we have to learn to be more clever than them amd make our own way to open America's eyes. I might have more later

Saw v for vendetta last night, it was definitley a great deal better than i had expected. Hopefully it will open the eyes of people who think it's stupid to be politically active, or people who believe in never questioning their government.

I sort of realized today that there are a few people in my life that wouldn't have half of what they have if it weren't for me. Then I realized how much it pissed me off that they treat me like some passing person that dosen't matter at all. Then I realized that there are MANY people in my life that wouldn't have expierenced half the amount of pain that they have if I hadn't strolled in. So I guess I deserve to give people their place in life and then be dumped because I seem to destroy peoples lives just as easily.
Just feeling negative
And don't worry I've been really happy all spring break, just been feeling negative for like the past 10 minutes.

I miss SHANE.
I miss HOME.
Why is everything that is real and makes me feel truly good is out of my reach?
Show was good as far as the bands that were there. The show did not have any really terrible bands there but some of the bands were definitley below mediocre. I guess just hope for august was. The back crowd was fucking GAY!! We couldn't even dance because ppl were like MOSHHHH and then even the other dancers were being assholes about it. Fuck the monkeybar and fuck that crowd. Done pissed me the fuck off. ++ Chiodos had to cancel for whatever reason. I really felt like hitting one of those goddamn self righteous redneck moshers even if they meant no harm theyhad no concept of concert etiquette.
