'Tis The Season...

Ah, finals... man, I just love that feeling when I'm running all over the place trying to get a paper started... Yup, procrastinating is the shizzits.
It's weird, though, that you come up with the best stuff when you're under pressure. I remember having to write this short story once for my English class in high school-- left it for the night before. In the end, I wrote five pages too many and landed me an A minus. O_o I found it really weird because that teacher was a BITCH and looked more likely to give you a double F minus than an A.
Still, I think that I'm losing that edge. Right now, I'm stuck with THREE papers to write.
Three papers!
Sucks balls, but what can you do? I don't know where to start-- and yet here I am, spending what precious time I have writing a blog post instead of working on a report about the Rastafari, ganja, and drug policies in Jamaica and a kinship report. Fucking anthropology (can't live with it, can't live without it).
Registration time is also around the corner, so even more shit to figure out. I'm thinking of taking Italian next semester (thanks a lot, Ezio-hehe, geddit? Ezio, Assassin's Creed...meh, whatever.) and maybe another class on writing or something. For some odd reason, though, the school says I need permission. Now that's just fucking great-- I have to wait for the entire holiday break to end until I sort this out. Curse you, Thanksgiving!!
Anyways, I guess I should stop ranting about these petty misfortunes and just get these chores over with...
In the next day or two...

A Time for Thanks...Or Not

Thanksgiving's coming up, and I'm once again surprised to see that there are already commercials put up for Christmas celebration and specials at stores and everything. Mind you, I've been seeing these commercials since right after Halloween. What the hell?

Is Christmas really that big that it just overshadows the other holidays preceding it? I have to say, this is really fucked up. I know that this is all done for the holiday sales and everything, but jeebus! Right after Halloween? Are you kidding me?!

Also, what is up with disney making yet again another remake of A Christmas Carol?! That movie has more remakes than King Kong. Well, at least this happens once every decade (by the looks of it) and not every single fuckign year. For that, you have Broadway.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we should give Thanksgiving some credit, since it does come before Christmas and is the times that we should give thanks. Some of you might save the giving of thanks for Christmas dinner, but it's really around Thanksgiving. Christmas should just stay as the holiday where we all get some cool shit ffor gifts. Or crappy, depends on what the gift is.

Hmm, I guess I'm done with the ranting now. Happy holidays!! :D

An Act of Desperation

It's been a really long while since I've posted up anything on this site. Gah! I've been so distracted with other things that it's hard to keep track of anything these days. I've been putting up some posts at a couple of sites, trying to get my work noticed one way or the other. So far, it's not going so well. Audience as dry as a desert. It's kinda hard, though, since I can't come up with anything to write! If there's one thing I hate, it's trying to look for inspiration when you can't find it. That and you head going off in three different directions at once. It pisses me off a bit.
So far, I found out that my school newpaper is hiring! I'm so excited about this so I'm thinking about writing something for the newspaper. And then I'm stuck.
Again.
It's the same thing with my reports that I have to write for my classes. In a sense, it stresses me out a bit, but getting writer's block for a report is pretty much common for everyone. Still, it doesn't cange the fact that I'm once again in bed with procrastination.
Well, time to get cracking on the things that matter. I need to find some things that might intrigue me for my next post. Wish me luck!
