Feeling even more estranged from the human race.

I’m really looking forward to the Converge show on Wednesday. They’re playing with The Red Chord (who are grindcore-ish) and Genghis Tron, which is an awesome experimental band from Philly. woot There’s another band, too, but I’ve never heard them. For the past month and a half, Justin and I have had a red-sharpied note on our fridge so that we wouldn’t forget to go, like we did with this one show a few months back. Actually, I think we’ve forgotten twice. We don’t have a damn calendar. blush

Yesterday, we went downtown to the library and checked out some Jack Kerouac novels and a few movies. If you’re introverted or just really hate people, the library is the place to go. We got some pizza at this little mall that is below an office building, and the food court was packed full of “young professionals”. I overheard this guy talking about how his worst grade in high school was in History, and I was thinking “…what a dumbass”. How can you not love history? I know I’m biased, because I want to teach Social Studies, but damn. It’s almost a cliche… students just “hate” history, they find it boring. I wonder why that is. It was always my favorite subject in school, and my father said it was also his favorite. It’s story-time, but the tales are more truthful, more violent, and you get to argue about them. I don’t understand anyone anymore.

I got the ink cartridges I ordered online, and they didn’t work. Fucking ebay. evil

    That sounds really exciting. Not a fan, but I hope you have a great time at the show!!

    I used to have a love-hate relationship toward history. It all depended on what we were covering.

    I know what you mean. I’m fascinated by History though. I guess I love learning about the past. History was never my weakest subject, I don’t know how that could be his situation though. =/

    I don’t find History that boring. But I’ve had three horrible teachers in a row for History. That could be a good reason as to why the whole world (minus a few) can’t stand learning history. There’s not enough great teachers out there who are passionate enough about it to motivate others to be passionate about it as well. Le sigh.

    I’ve fixed WordPress by the way. Sorry for not replying to your email. I’ve been crazy busy lately. Thanks for offering to help me, though. It is greatly appreciated! biggrin
