Life of Andkon: Tragicomedy Thru AIM (Part II)
Apr 13, 2005 @ 11:03Continued from Part I.
the assignments
assignments?
thats a part of life
you'll get those till you retire
it's the assignments! nothing has CHANGED from freshman year at high school
it's the same drivel... it's getting BORING
every job has its things... if you work with food, you'll have 80-person catering parties... if you work in an office, you'll need TPS reports or whatever... if you work construction, you'll need due dates for buildings
assignments and deadlines are a part of American Society and the shit of life
but it seems to be the ONLY part of life, making it life itself
its a sidebar
an extremely big sidebar
as in taking up most if not all of the space
no, its just a necessity that has been overkilled
and continues to be beat like a dead horse, only the damn thing won't fully die
i havent done anything fun or productive, as in ever
as long as you stick your ass in your room and only come out to listen to some guy/chick/priest/coach lecture about something they've spent years doing (so they have no passion for it anymore), thats the only thing you'll see [AK: I really can't help that people are superficial and boring.]
i haven't been able to do any of my projects, like the damned html tutorial, which has been stagnant since September 2002
fuck the tutorial
that's just one of the many things I've never been able to do
so1and1so: I'm just saying
i wanted to write a fiction book and I have outlined it, but guess what? I can't write a fucking full-length book going to school and all
but you have to realize one thing... [AK: I will not let finish!!!!!!]
I'm incredibly pissed that instead of writing something that might matter, I end up having to write BULLSHIT day in and day out for all my classes
I understand, and I know the feeling
and it's never going to get ANY better at this rate
yes it will [AK: completely unsupported hypothesis]
how many hours are you taking, and what classes?
i mean i go to college, waste another three years masturbating the eyes of teachers when they read my bullshit, and then I'll go onto a shitty job or more school
LOL, answer the question
im taking 15 hours... YES its LESS than ever... but I still have to spend inordinate amounts bullshiting
what classes?
international study shit, english, human person, honors with [reference to a certain Jim Carrey movie], and macroeconomics
yes, it's relatively easy, and certainly a ton less than in high school, but I'm not sure 7AM-10PM (high school + sports + busywork) is a good measure of what's little and whatnot [AK: I spent more than half the day in/around/with school. All for nothing. Fucking ridiculous.]
first of all, when it comes registration time, make sure you land teachers that don't do busywork (if possible), land the lecture teachers that kill you at test time... cause then you only spend 2-3 days a month cramming for tests, because all tests are in the same week
I also feel terrible days before I write essays because I'm honest and writing bullshit is completely and essentially lying
but if I don't lie then I get a bad grade, because "those ideas" "determine me to fail"
your ideas are too left-wing extremist
WHAT? I hate the left-wing... I'm a no-wing commentator
you want everything to work your way, and you can't see how things that don't work that way work out for the best [AK: being screwed over day after day hasn't worked out for the best...]
sure I want W to hang on a meathook, but I feel the same about Clinton :-)
good for both of them
drop the politics
ignore the politics
I'm serious... ever since I stopped caring about that shit, I'm a lot better off

[As silly as it sounds, I actually do feel terrible having to write things I don't believe in. It's like writing mindless propaganda for all my classes. It's not just a complete waste of time but also wrong as it teaches lying against myself. It teaches that if you have an idea that's contrary to others, you ought to be docile and back down. Or else. I feel like Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: I realize the bullshit and nonsense, but I still go along with out of fear of failing courses. I wonder when I'm going to snap and be placed in an asylum. At least I get a hot chick before that.]
TO BE CONTINUED! Should Andkon stop caring about politics? Is that even his problem? Find out next time on the amazing conclusion to Life of Andkon: Tragicomedy Thru AIM (Part III)!

Your doing busy work b/c ur in a major that requires no actual knowledge, therefore the teacher are forced to beat u with busy work. Choose a science if u want knowledge.
And I will nominate myself to be ur book-master making sure you put out at least one chapter every 2 weeks in the summer.

Maybe, but science and medicine, that's a real joke. The "study for 15 years to be a doctor" sham and still have no commmon sense. Or the "here's some facts you have to memorize."

Being a professional student (gag) I have to agree. Medicine, Law, Business or any field that the goal is to make money is an aimless gesture. It accomplishes nothing but self loathing and a perpetual longing for something better.

Making money is pointless. Why work hard only so that I can have fun later? I can do what I want now.
FYI- Pre-med programs run 10 yrs, I'm not sure where u pulled 15 yrs from, probably ur ass.

I pulled it from the knowledge base that is my brain. Your forgetting about residency, Siberian slave labor at minimun wage for 4/5 years working 80 hours a week.

Andkon, I am curious. How in the hell do you know these things? I consider myself a fountain of useless information, but you, my friend, are an ocean. A rare breed, those fountains of useless information... a dying race... however, critics are born everyday and they keep multiplying.

When my fourth-grade teacher retired, she gave me her old set of encylopedias. It had words like Negro...
At any rate, any time I went to take a crap or bath, I read some. It's fortunate I had that set since I didn't have Internet access until July 2001. (My parents were the paranoid kind who resisted technology at all costs. My mother for example types her email address AND password into the browser's address bar and wonders why it's not working...)
Yeah, I remember those days. I did use an old computer w/o Internet until 2001... 66Mhz and 8MB RAM... I kid you not. It had a dot-matrix printer that went EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK EK EEEEK EEEEEEEEEEEEEK EEK EK. I had to manually feed each page as well.

I value your comments. However, if it's intended to show off your idiocy through a completely unrelated topic, I will ban you not only from never posting but also from the entire website. Simply put, I will never go ape because I disagree with you. (Actually, all this depends on my current menstrual mood.)
