| I have so much that I want to write. I feel like my life is just slipping away without me doing anything constructive or responsible. I want so badly to be extraordinay, but when it comes to brass tacks, I fail. The only time I am capable of doing things is when pressed. It feels that way anyways. I also feel as if I have lost all intellectual capability. I know I was smart at one time. What happened? I have also realized that my writing style has digressed immensely. My vocabulary has lessened. I want to fix these things, but how? There seems to be a cloud in my mind that prevents me from understanding new things or remembering anything with clarity. How can I change the world if I cannot even think clearly? Sorry that I rambled on into all that. I really hope that I am the only one that ever reads these whiny online posts. I also miss high school english, mainly the one my senior year with Mrs. Schoborg. I read the same type of books but I feel like something is missing when I do not critique and discuss them with someone smarter. Sometimes I even feel as if I should write an essay. Human conciousness astounds me. Why do people even exist to have ordinary lives? What is the point? Everyone is looking for love and acceptance. Some want to feel good. I seek enrichment. That is the word I use to describe the experiences and knowledge I want to cram into the gray matter between my ears. And for what purpose? Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless! (Get the reference?) I don't really even understand the thoughts fully. The real reason that I got on here is because I think I have found my thesis topic and I wanted to comment on that somewhere I would not lose it. This seemed like a good choice. I was talking to my mom the other day about NCLB again. I was getting all fired up about it as usual. She suggested to me if I was that passionate about it, why don't I make that my topic. It was as if a light went off. I am not sure if that will be something I am allowed to write about. We shall see what my topic is when Dr. Bush gets done changing it! :) Besides, I really have to do some research and narrow down what I want to talk about. I will start with actually reading the bill, instead of everyone's opinions on it. Then I will read some books about it. It just frustrates me so much! The bill, which I really don't know much about how they are set up, so I am just going from what I have gathered, I must have been abset the day we were taught that one *cough cough,* has ten titles. The only title that conservative politicians seem to talk about is title 5 and then teachers and the educational system are left to deal with the rest. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I think it has failed to do all that it promised. I believe that this is so, because the bill was written by politicians and not educators. Why have why lost our sense of what education is for? As a matter of fact, what is the purpose of formal education? I guess I should answer that first. I need to do a lot of research and get my facts straight and research what the ammendments proposed by McCain are, but what I have read I have not liked either. Ask the teachers; they are the ones having to live with it. More on this later. Oh, and I have to read this: Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.), because NCLB is a revision of it. | | |
| I have not been on in so long that xanga has changed. I must spend some time on here. I really want to talk about the summer and how I feel. This would be an excellent outlet. :) I am really excited about the chick flicks I have compiled for a marathan. I did this so that in my free time I will not think of China and get sad. Chick flick therapy. It has amazing results, you should try it some time. Watch one every night when everyone else is asleep to keep your mind from wandering to memories that cause sorrow or pain. Or, watch all at once in a dark living room, on the couch, with a starbucks frappucino. I assure you I have been doing both with satisfactory results.

| What happen at 7pm that night definately is gonna allow me some sleep! The only problem is the cause has me too wired for sleep. The origional plan this night was to tell my tornado story tonight but I actually think I am winding down. That is good though. Maybe I will get some useful sleep before the am! I will go into detail late...so much to record and apparently doing it on the internet is better! | | |
| This semester is gonna be crazy. I already want to sleep for a week and I have not been that sleep deprived! I thought this was a funny caricature of cultural icons of our time and that I might want to remember this one day: DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.
OPRAH :
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH :
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...
ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
JOHN KERRY :
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now and will remain against it.
NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN :
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American......
MARTHA STEWART :
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS :
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.
JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side'. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA :
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.
JOHN LENNON :
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
ARISTOTLE :
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
BILL GATES :
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will nevercra...#@&&^<>C% ........ reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN :
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON :
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE :
I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS :
Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY :
Where's my gun?
AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens!

| nI am back in Jackson for J-Term! Yay. I am really excited about this term; I just hope I get some things done between friends, going home on the weekend and class. Oh, and I am trying to work out every day I am in the dorm. Day number 1:check. I need to be on time to class tomorrow. I am starting to get a little tired. I think I am going to bed early! I had a great new years with Amanda. I went to spend the night at her house Sunday night. We hung out at her house and with Levi at his, went to Martin's BCM party and to a party at her friend Taylor's house and slept upstairs. I went home after watching Accepted at Levi's house the next day. It was so fun. Today me and her hung out and went to dinner at Cracker Barrel with Amy Hicks. Me and Amy got to talk a lot and came back to UU and watched Grey's. Karate II this spring will be interesting to say the least. Eeee. lol. I mean... KI-YAP! | | |
