last day of summer, pretty much.

listening to some stuff about blink 182, as usual, i come to realize that yet another summer is gone. with today being my last day at work, for a while at least, i also realize how fast life seems to go by sometimes. i find it very interesting for how when you’re having fun, time seems to go by within a blink of an eye and when you wish time would go by, it seems like times goes backwards.

in general, this was a much better summer than last year. not just for one thing, but for quite a number of reasons. it could have been better and it could have been worse, considering that i was completely stressed out at the end of the semester last year. hopefully it won’t happen again. the way that i look at it is that as long as my GPA gets pulled up, everything else should fall into place. also, i know for a fact that i’m a good computer person (geek), even though i really want to do something with music, like production or even musician. i just need teachers that actually teach, not just fall asleep during their own class and don’t even have notes of their own. and that’s where a bit of my rant starts:

how can you have a PhD and yet suck at teaching? i mean, if you use other’s notes and even you fall asleep during your own class, you’re probably not a good teacher. i’m sure he/she’s a nice guy. great! kudos! but that doesn’t count for much when you’re trying to prepare the future workers. but what else can you expect with this screwed up economy. i mean the main way people get their jobs is by have connections from the inside. is that really equal opportunity? ummm… not really. great job America! i’m not saying that i hate the country and i’m in no way saying that i love it. all i’m saying is that there are way too many stupid people in the world and most of them are in America and most ironically, most of them are in some sort of “high authority”, in other words, running something. and they’re not even stupid, as in with no common sense, but they’re also arrogent. great job!

i realized a while a go that my school isn’t really good with education. okay, it’s educationally cheap and yet they charge 300 dollars for a used text book. yeah-ebay.

anyways, not to seem like this post is a rant, let’s go back to the summer topic. in general, i have no complaints, i just wish it could have been a bit longer. i won’t say exactly what happened because

a-i’m sure you’re quite aware that i can’t really open up to the world that much.
b-it’s summer, a lot happened.
c-i just don’t think you NEED to know certain things.

what’s next? well, mostly just focusing on my GPA and just trying to live life.

what did i learn this summer? life is like an album, no matter how crappy the song is, the metronome keeps ticking and there’s always another song.

until next time. laters!

BLINK!!!!!!!!

Watching some videos of my beloved band, blink 182, i came across some stuff from their night with jimmy kimmel. on specifically caught my attention-the feeling this video. first off, why would people even think that you’re the one singing on stage? now i understand that the brother is recording it, but whoever was recording should have kept their mouth shut. all through out the song i was thinking that mark and tom were having trouble harmonizing, which they rarely do. even if you’re singing in tune, keep your mouth shut because you’re trying to record someone else’s performance. if you want to record yourself singing, go home, put the camera on a tripod and record yourself. i understand your not a professional, God help us all if you were cause you’d make a mockery of videography. i might not be a videographer myself, but there are some common sense rules:

rule 1: if you’re recording, don’t make noise, don’t even answer a question.

rule 2: don’t forget any copyrights.

rule 3: use warnings if material contains such necessities.

i’m sure there’s more, but those are just the common sense ones.

as an added note, never underestimate the level of stupidity that people bring to the table. it’s one thing not to be able to retain that much information and this isn’t for you, i’m taking about those that try to do things without thinking. it’s also another thing to be a jackass [immature] you can be the most immature person, but have wisdom and knowledge of a couple of things. immaturity has to do with actions, wisdom and knowledge both work with a mental status. so immature people can also be underestimated, let’s try not to do that so much, understanding these facts.

to conclude this post, i just want to say that i wish i could have been to one of blink’s shows . i know it must have been fun, but did they seem like they worked hard to sound like they did before angels and +44? any ways, we all waited for this to come pass and now it did so let’s just be content for once and stop complaining about the sound. that’s not why we go/went to see blink, we go/went to see blink because of the energy and the message of the songs, not because of the sound of the songs. take guns and roses for example, great rock band, one of the best sounds, but after a while people stopped going to shows because of axel’s hissy fits. so it doesn’t really matter about the sound, it’s better to have a high energy and have a sense of fun. when it comes to sound, that’s more for selling records, which doesn’t really happen now a days, but to really make money in the music world you have to tour and nobody will go to shows if you don’t have the charisma. i’m not saying that you have to suck or anything like that. you should know how to somewhat play, but when it comes to live shows, it’s better to get the fans into the songs as apposed to hear them say, “man they sound great”. so it’s great to have blink back!

until next time. laters!

School

American school system-go in stupid come out stupid as hell. congratulations America, no wonder society is hilariously dumb.

but why do i say this you ask? well, just think about it, before you go into school where you are polluted with politics and crap like that, one has the innocence of knowing what is right and wrong, in a way. i know many say that as a child, it is easy to lie and hard to do the “right” thing and this is mostly true. as people, we don’t have to learn how to lie, but through maturity, we lie less. that’s the difference, maturity is making mistakes in life, accepting the consequences, and learning from the experience.

in school you find people that think they know a lot and teach it with strong passion, but in reality, don’t really know all that much.

yes, reality is relative, but facts still exist. for example, there is fire, there is cold, ect… that being said, if a teacher only gives busy work, falls asleep during class (yes that’s right, even the teacher falls asleep during the class) and almost the whole entire class (cept for maybe 2 or 3 out of 10) fail, then you’re probably not a good teacher.

another thing is that you can graduate knowing the steps to manage a 5 trillion dollar franchise, but don’t know how to even turn on the computer. not to sound like a jerk because i know a thing or two about computer, but the fact is that we really are working more with computers and media, so one should at least know how to use the Microsoft Office suite. all in all, school is to open up the minds of students to inspire them to learn things on their own or at least knowing the steps on how to better themselves if they hate the situation their in.

anyways, that’s enough of my rant on how sometimes school makes you dumber instead of smarter.

“it’s so nice to have you back where you belong” i can’t help adding this into my post because i just found it a big coincidence considering the certain present situation. all in all nothing lasts forever, absolutely nothing and you can add that to the facts list.

until next time. laters!
