Its all cultural...or is it.
today it was discolsed to the phil 104 class that the previous and regular dr. gorr will no longer be with us. instead we will have the crazy and eccentric dr.simon for the rest of the year. for me this is good since he talked about anthropology twice today wich has never happend in any class outsied of said department. but for everyone else.....lets just say they failed to fine the brilliance in his hour long rant about the hutshut vs tootsi (?) and ethnic cleansing in rowanda, something that was started buy german anthropologists and a badly placed biblical reference. he's the only "white" guy i've ever met who graduated from howard univresity. i had fun and there was no talk of democracy or philoshpy or the pages upon pages that noone read in the assinged text.
i turned in my paper and am starting on my next one... its not going so well.
but if i work all day tomarrow i can go see the lovely local band featuring one of my fellow students......
although he and most of his friends think i'm a big dork and having reread that last sentance, i must agree.
well see. tonight, its thai food and hockey?
akasnuggles:
What's the band yr going to see and what genre do they tightest fit into?
I dont say this to very many people...so dont spread it around...but, i could learn a lot from you.

I have no doubt that the underlying problem is apathy. But, as you probably know, apathy runs hand in hand with the great American past times of comfort and consumerism (you cant have one without the other). We're taught from a very young age that goods is good. Were you sickened by the Great Oprah Car Giveaway? By the orgasmic reaction of the audience?
AIDS is on the rise again, thanks to the apathy of my generation.
but its all about commodity. the problems not in marketing, its in the apathy, but the commodity IS our generation. We've all bought into it at one point or another. Suicide Girls is a prime example, you know? You can say that this site is different because the girls are punkish or goth, you can say that it's edgy and rebellious and that the girls on the site are going against the norm, but what it comes down to is selling an imageand we all bought into it. You go thru the profiles and you see the same thoughts, Favourite TV ShowsI hate television...smash your tv...tv sucks etc. it's a canned response, it's the way this sect of our generation is supposed to act. We're supposed to hate TV, we're supposed to hate fashion and the radio. I'm not saying that everyone that hates the tely is parroting the sentiment, i'm just saying that not all tv is bad. Infact, some of it downright rocks: Six Feet Under, South Park, Law and Order SVU, the Daily Show.
We are sold rebellion...in tiny...incriments. If you remember a while ago, MTV was sponsoring a Korn tour, the tour was called Pop Sucks. We're apathetic because we've been sold everything, because our youth culture has been boiled down to Red Bull, studded belts, tattoos and hair dye. They made a Fight Club video game for Christ's sake. I'm not condoning apathy or trying to rationalize my own apathy, i'm just saying that i can completely understand why we're apathetic and, honestly, i cant think of a reason NOT to be. It's comfortable. It's easy. And damnit, it's hip.

But it still kills me when i go to a show and i see 8 or nine punks wearing the same studded belt and such.

Nice quote, btw. very few people quote "Singles" anymore wink kiss biggrin confused
