I received this amazing gift from a friend today:
But now...
Who's ready for the angry?
Act I: An Open Letter to the Purdue University Administration
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
To whom it may concern:
I would like to graciously thank you very completely destroying any urge that I
ever had to continue in furthering my education.
I wasted one year and thousands of dollars taking part in classes best
suited for possibly the Freshman class of a local high school in order to have the chance to
be able to enroll in some meaningful classes. That is somewhat acceptable. However,
when, as a Freshman, I was offered an on-air intership at THE largest Chicago radio station
(The now defunct 94.7 the Zone), and was forced to turn it down due to the fact that I was
a Freshman at a time, that is where I lost all hope in the educational establishment. When
did it become the standard to hinder those students who make a meaningful attempt at striving
to learn and participate more? I must admit that I was utterly speechless when I was informed
that I would not be able to accept this internship. It's absolute blasphemy (not in the biblical sense).
Was there possibly a Junior or Senior that deserved it more than me? No. How do I know this? Because they
did not get accepted! I was sat down at a table with students from some of the top schools in Chicago.
I was working face to face with Chicago's top Radio Personalities experiencing exactly what
I hope to do as a career one day.
This was the pinnacle of what ANYBODY in my major could hope to achieve, and I was DENIED due to my freshman categorization.
The only comfort given to me was the "I'm Sorry" from the internship director. Is it honestly out of mental reach to
realize that a blow such as that IS enough to break any spirit that someone trying to learn once had?
So here we are... one year later and that little hint of spirit is trying to relight itself.
Just to find out, for two semesters in a row that any classes that I would actually like to take
and that would actually be relevant to learning something are completely full due to lack of classes,
offered at incredibly ridiculous times (530-720?! Who can make that class besides someone who does
nothing for a living?!), or I can not take yet because there is a pointless prerequisite.
Due to the fact that I refuse to take any more classes that teach me nothing, it appears that
there is nothing left for me to take, and I do not know where to continue.
Just as every year, I will come back to register next semester, most likely to be disappointed once again.
So I would just like to thank you, once again, for absolutely denying someone who has the
drive to attend class to better himself a chance to learn.
Sincerely,
A very, very angry member society.
Act II: The Disease Plaguing Those Who Surround Me
SPOILERS! (Click to view)It has come to my attention that there is disease spreading throughout those who have to make contact with me.
It's symptoms are quite simple.
No matter what I say, or how easily I explain things... somewhere in the field of communication, whatever I say turns into incredible bullshit, even though it was complete truth when it left my mouth. I'm not sure what causes this sensation, but it's quite irritating.
Nothing I say is believable to whomever hears it. All I get is vain attempt to command or correct me, when in all actuality, nothing needed correction. So I am very close to succumbing to the apparent truth that everything I say is wrong, no matter the actual truth.
If anybody happens to know where I can find the cure for this disease, please to let me know.
Had you read this far, you deserve some sort of congratulations. So... Congrats.
My new website of nonsense is now up with very little content, feel free to peruse.

The End (Until I find something else I'd like to add)
