so you want to be alternative?
Feb. 7th, 2008 12:58 amI'm feeling increasingly disillusioned with school (disillusioned is probably the wright right word because I've always had this lovely, Ivy-laced image of varsity life *snorts*) and well, not with life, but I just feel...... empty, well not empty but just absent. Something like that.
Oh wow, my first sentence was so Ron DeLite.I should really stop playing PW3.
I really, honest to God, wish that I had more of my friends in this limbo that I'm stuck in. Something, someone to let me look forward to so that I don't dread getting on the bus and listening to will you turn your fucking handphone down I don't share your taste in music and then repeating the same thing in reverse on the way back.
It's exhausting. Today, just after a mere 2 hours of lessons with Prof Chew, I came back looking like someone who aged 20 years. My mum is all incredulous that I'm so tired, but the fact is that I am. Oh fuck it. Everything seems to be "cheemified" on the pretext of "intelligence". I'm so sick and tired of all the complicating people to do very simple concepts and things. I'm not saying that you have to accept everything as a truth, or be a cynic to everything you hear but fuck, just stop overstretching things.
Why do we read Shakespeare? Seriously why? It's not a complex matter of that his rhyme scheme or his lyrical writing, it's very simple actually. We read Shakespeare, we watch Shakespeare because we find it entertaining. It entertains whoever who finds it entertaining. In my Shakespeare class, I had to sit through line after line of preaches, of how great Shakespeare is, or because he has literary value. All those things hold true, I'm not denying that but arrrrrrrrrgh. I should have just shouted "BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING ENTERTAINING, THAT'S WHY."
Which is why Rach's post on how people just overgeneralize commercialism just hits home. I mean, dude. How is the effort put into producing Transformers or Star Wars any less than some artyfarty French/Iranian/insertNationalityhere film? Argh. I wish I had spoken up like her. I mean, what the fuck. I just sat there in my class and just kept quiet.
Another point. I don't know why I'm so silent this semester. I seem to have verbal constipation and it pisses me off.
Anyway, public service annoucement time: HI PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM ME, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I DON'T APPRECIATE YOUR FORM OF "FRIENDSHIP". IT CREEPS ME OUT. REALLY.
This Chinese New Year sucks. I can't wait for Saturday. T04Time.
