Why now?
I have to admit I don't understand it. You think the world is moving to become a better place, and yet there's things like finals, the economic recession, and Mumbai, India to look you straight in the face and say "fuck you! It sucks and it's staying that way!"
Some people say the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. There are days when I wake up in the morning, get out of bed, and think to myself "can't it come any sooner? It seems so far away... on the bright side, I might no longer be a virgin by then..."
But I do have my guitar. I do have my blues, and my grunge, and my progressive rock, and my psychedelic rock/pop to get me through the bad days. Nothing like crooning out a slow 12-bar blues when you're down, or soloing to an over-long piece to pass the seconds that seem to move like hours.
As a great philosopher by the name of Robert Plant once asked:
"How come 24 hours, sometimes seems to slip into days?"
It's finals this week. I got back from my Microeconomics final today. Not bad. I have two easy finals tomorrow: English 1102 and Music Appreciation. They don't worry me. It's my last final, Accounting 1, on Thursday at 10:30 am (EST) that scares the shit out of me. That is, without a doubt, the hardest class I've ever taken. I know I'm failing. I've already signed up to take it again next semester. Hopefully it'll be easier then since I've already taken it once. I got a different teacher, too, 'cause damn if I'll ever take my current teacher again. RateMyProfessors.com has her as one of the best Accounting teacher's at Georgia Perimeter College. Yeah... well... I'd say the 60% of her class that's failing would disagree. And despite that, she won't give a fucking curve. I mean, she's nice and all, and even funny... but she's really strict, can be a bitch, and doesn't really show us how a concept works... she just gives us the explanation in her notes and expects us to get it. I mean, I know I'm in college, but it's fucking Accounting! NOT EASY!
Our world is in a mess. Mumbai, India? Some friends and I were going to go there when it happened. We had been planning the trip for months, even got rooms booked at the very hotel that was attacked! By some sort of blessing in disguise, though, plans changed at the very last minute due to a lack of funds and we ended up not going. It kinda opens your eyes, though... how close we almost got... your mortality comes knocking on the door to say hi, and that's never a fun visit.
They're saying now that if some action isn't taken soon, we could see another terrorist attack on American soil, and while Obama is still President! I mean, we all know he's going to be tested. Yes, the economy is going to test him, but how else is this man going to be tested? I really do feel bad for him. He's inheriting such a damn mess. And he's under a lot of pressure, too. Why? If he succeeds and proves to be one of the best President's we've ever had, it's the end of the Republican party. They will be gone. But if he fails, even a little, he will cripple, if not destroy, the Democratic party. This is the presidency that will decide the fate of the US political process. Of course, a lot of that is Bush's fault. You can't blame him entirely for the mess we're in, of course, but he sure can be blamed for a whole hell of a lot of it.
December 21, 2012. The end of the world. Or, in Scientific terms, the exact alignment of our entire solar system (planets and moons) with our sun and the very center of our Galaxy. Of course, it could mean nothing (besides the coolest solar eclipse ever), but it could mean the end of the world, too. Personally, what will end the human race is... the human race. We really are our own worst enemies. Weapons of mass destruction, war, hatred, bigotry...
Yeah... we are in a severe mess right now. Everything is fucked up. So when will it get better? When? Because, personally, I'm losing patience...
