The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.
He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others that have been tried.

I'm listening to Ladytron's "Destroy Everything You Touch". I love that song. =] I noticed that I haven't been listening to music lately, except maybe the ones that I listen to when I go to sleep, I need it to sleep faster. lol.
When everything's so mainstream it's nice to listen to the music that I truly love and enjoy. =] Moving on, it's finally Thursday and I can't wait for Friday. I'm drained, physically and mentally?! I could really use a break, but then again, we all do. Ah well, Thanksgiving next week, so that'll give me some rest.
My dear friend and big brother, Rob, finally have his webcomic up. He's the writer, you should take a look: http://theproject.net.nz/ They say it makes you cooler just by reading it. :P
As of now, they only update once a week. But I wish him the best of luck.
It was raining real hard today. I didn't mind, I love the rain after all, there's something mysterious and beautiful about it.
We had 4 tests today, 1 of which was easy the other 3 well, I felt that my IQ decreased just by looking at it. Especially Spanish II.
We had an interesting discussion in English today though. The quote that we had to write a journal about said:
"Humans can live 40 days without food, about 3 days without water, about 8 minutes without air and one second without hope."
I disagreed with it, although our English teacher was pretty determined to prove me and the others who disagreed wrong. We all have our opinions, but I don't need someone shoving their own opinion down my throat.
Anyway, I said I disagree because, when you hope for something and you hold on to it, it hurts twice as much when it doesn't happen. It's such a "positive" word, so they say but will the outcome of "hoping" be always positive? If you want to accomplish something, don't hope, just do it. Shrinks say "don't lose hope." But when you're hoping it's like expecting something and like I said when it doesn't happen sometimes it will destroy you emotionally, mentally and sometimes even physically. Why would you tell a girl with cancer who's about to die to "never lose hope"? Why would you want to give her a delusional happiness? What is hope in the first place?
I'm frustrated because I can't seem to put into words what I really want to say about the topic, what I really want people to understand. But oh well.
Ciao.
Rain.
