Thanks to Larry the Cable Guy for the title! Anyways, I'm going to rant a bit. Christmas Holidays are to long if you ask me. 2 weeks is way to long. Now 2 weeks ago I would have said that 2 weeks wasn't long enough. But I'm ready to go back to school. I spend my days sleeping in till 10, watching syndicated tv shows, napping on the couch, reading 1984, and filling out a multitude of applications for a multitude of things. The last two things are the only two productful things I've done lately, and it's a good thing I started doing them. However I'd rather be back in school, even though when I'm in school I'd rather be anywere but there. But at least when I'm at school I have to wake up early, do a fair amount of useful activities, and don't end my days thinking that I've wasted a day. I'd like to go back to school so that I can do my provincial english exam and the math exam. I dread the thought of doing either one of them but I'd like to just get them over with and rid myself a great deal of stress. As well once those two exams are over and done with I'm one step closer to a change in scenery. Don't get me wrong I love this farm, Shoal Lake, and the whole area, but it's time to see the world! Consider this rant concluded.
I'm going to go read 1984 now, which by the way is an extremely strange book. TVs that watch you, no freedom, socialism, and a world where propaganda rules supreme. Oh and what happened to that band Treble Charger? Damn, they were good.

omg 2 weeks was totally not enough! at the start of the holidays I was like "this is going to suck so bad" but I don't think I've had a day where I haven't done something.. its pretty sweet
i miss treble charger!! they were great.
brad i think you need to start reading new books. that one sounds just a little weird.
I don't have much choice. I have to read it for school.
I have never heard of 1984 but it can't be as bad as "Fahrenheit 451", we had to read that in High School and then watch the movie....REALLY REALLY BAD!!! I feel for you Brad!
Our English teacher told us that Fahrenheit 457 was to boring to read so we only watched the movie. 1984 is by George Orwell who also wrote Animal Farm.
i liked Fahrenheit 451. lol i thought it was good
I actually enjoyed reading Farenheit 451 as well.
1984 was pretty weird, not as weird as Animal Farm, but weird nonetheless.
Did you ever have to read Brave New World during your high school career? That one is a trip and a half. The movie version that we had to watch was really different from the book, because apparently the one that stays really close to the book version is x-rated.
I thought Animal Farm was great. Brave New World was a trip probably because Aldous Huxley did mescaline and injected himself with LSD on his deathbed. I still prefer Brave New World over 1984 though.
Maybe I should go back and reread 451...I hated it in school but 12 years later...maybe my thoughts would change! I still hated the movie! There was another one we HAD to read...I can't remember the title but it was about kids stranded on an island and had something to do with a pigs head on a pole! Also a very strange book!
Lord of the Flies! Awesome book!
Anonymous - Thank you....It has been awhile since I even saw that book!
I'm not 100% sure who these latest anonymous people are but for once it's pleasant to have them around. :)
