Ranting : Hypocritical Vanity Opinion

What the hell is with women who pluck their eye brows ? I for one find it disgustingly disturbing to
see a hot chick draw her brow line; why can women not look more natural these days. Granted, I at
one point was somewhat a fan of breast implants, but I've grown to be more interested in women who
are completely natural, then again, sometimes they could use a boost--if you know what I mean. When
I say natural, I'm not saying they can be a obese Java the hut, but rather all that truly matters is
the face. Anyways, that's just my worthless two bad pennies.
Life : Damned Computer

Yesterday, I'm watching an episode of NCSI, and suddenly, about 3 quarters into it it suddenly
freezes up--picture and sound. I hit the number key to see what type of crash this is, whether or
not it is fatal--the number key flashes, i say to myself, just hit ctrl-alt-del and kill the
process, I do, the dialog to get to the task manager comes up, but the task manager never officially
shows it's purdy face. I hit ctrl-alt-del again and again, suddenly, a full blown lockup. I think to
myself, this is rather unusual, i hit number lock again, this time nothing. I go to turn off
computer, it shuts off. I turn power supply back on, i hit power button and nothing, but i notice
while my case is open that my LED on my built in Ethernet card is lit up, which is rather specular.
Now i start to worry, I test computer with a separate working power supply unit, and it goes down
hill from here. cries
School : News to the Ignorant, no pun intended

Yes, I go to a community college, which is not such a bad thing. I go to community college not only
for the financial savings benefits, but also due to my poor performance in my highs school
years--sleeping in class was my specialty. Anyways, because of that, my ability to self motivate has
been subjected to a lot of brainwashing as far as procrastination goes. My parents haven't exactly
drilled into my skull that procrastination leads to poor performance in anything, unless your name
is "little man Tate"--like in the movie. Anyways, I'm in school right now and I've had to retake
many of the courses I took in high school and as they say, the third times a charm; I passed them
all without too much effort, I mean, I put effort in, but not like now. So now I'm taking chemistry
101 and Calculus 1. I'm struggling like no tomorrow, in due part because what I didn't mention was
that when I was younger, I did not learn to read--to read well--until I was probably in 6th grade.
My dad spend probably upwards of sixty thousand dollars, I kid you not; they diagnosed me with
dyslexia and supposedly I'm what they call a visual special learner and that I supposedly have a 152
IQ--I'm not trying to brag, this by no means judges a persons true intelligence.
Fast forward say 10 yrs and I'm now in college for my 3rd year, I fail 2 tests, both chemistry and
calculus tests; both on the same day. So I think to myself, what is the ultimate problem I have when
taking tests--anxiety. I talk to several people: my friends, my family, and some professionals;
every one I know thinks it couldn't hurt to look into getting myself some extra time for tests and
to rid myself of the retched 8.5 x 11 inch desk chairs I have to use in my Calculus course. So I
signed up for I believe what they call D.P.S (Disabled Persons Services) or something to that
effect. I talk to a councilor and tell them my sob story and guess what, they give me a consult to
meet up with a professional Psychologist--yippy, not! Remember I said I have major anxiety, they
tell me I'm going to go through a battery of testing just to prove that I have anxiety impairments
and ultimately, dyslexia inhibited learning problems. I almost regret ever doing it just because of
the idea of taking more tests. Ugh! Why do I have to be considered disabled in some way to be given
a get-out-of-jail card to get extra time for a damn test, but then again, I also get to take the
test in an Air-Conditioned room with lovely ergonomic chairs that is incredibly quiet with
ergonomically designed desks to avoid bending my head too much. Yippy, I guess it's worth it.
Ranting : Music > *

Ever get the need to hear some new music? Me too, more often lately than before, I find music
inspirational, but can also be a hindrance on that which you would try to get from it-a sense of new
being, to instill some new brought wisdom upon thy thought of grandeur. Anyways, back on track, my
brother got me some new music, and it just gets better and better. I've found some old artists and
some new artists, all just pure joy and disappointment. *chuckles* Anyways, message me some time and
I'll stream some new tunes. Just let me know what you want to hear.

All I can say is this; I failed my Calculus test, and possibly my chemistry test as well. At this
point I can only blame myself and the true culprit--the professor. My calculus professor doesn't
give us any preconceptions on what he will expect on the test, he just says know everything, period.
My chemistry professor thought, hey, I should give my students a pre-test, make sure they have a
pre-set expectation as to the difficulty, the commonality and variety of problems which will be
placed onto the exam. But my professor decided that he would throw the biggest curveball you could
possibly conceive as far as tests go. But then again, so did my calculus professor. I know, everyone
probably thinks this is my entire fault, but if I make it all my fault, what do I have to look
forward to. I have to place some of this responsibility on some shoulders which are more accustomed
to taking the blame--wink, wink.
On another note, my mental status is like the
humming of the big bang ambience in all radio frequencies. It's just there, and will keep on going
until the end of time--doubt I'll live that long--but you have to admit it's an interesting
possibility. Anyways, failing a test is not the end of the world to me, but I've been ever so
interested in looking into the Community College disabilities Office. Possibly look into seeing how
to get some extra time for tests, possibly even tested for some kind of anxiety issues, not to
mention a fact which never seems to amaze me how present it really is--dyslexia--the curse that I
live with. Why can't I just take a pill and fix this fine-oiled-brain of mine. Bah to all that is
mighty in this world; bullocks to the existence of a being which would allow a disability to impede
upon those who strive to succeed.
