a rant against gym

welcome ladies and germs to one of jason's famous rants. alrite, maybe they're not famous, but once in a while i get really fired up about something and i like to type what is known as a "rant". www.jasonsdictionary.com defines rant n. as a blog posting that expresses frustration at a certain topic using a lot of profanity and strong language. now that thats cleared up, strap yourself in and get ready. it starts out slow and builds up.

so picture me the middle of sophomore year, happy as a clam and ready and eager for next year's challenging courses. yeah rite. bug u get the picture. so i sign up for the pe elective known in the 2006-2007 registration guide as "volleyball-softball-cross training-cross country skiing"

im decent at volleyball and softball, and i love cc skiing. i hate running even tho people tell me im decent at it. (7:12 mile time last time i checked) so i figure that this will be a pretty cool class. the icing on the cake is that eric and erin in it so i know its gonna be awesome.

so i walk into the large gym today already in a bit of a pissed off mood and i sit down and find quite a few people i know in the class. ok good good. so ms bishop starts talking about the curriculum. ok we do cc skiing and volleyball alternating third quarter. ok good. i also find out that we have a nutrition unit

WHOAH!!! hold the phone dora!

nutrition? im thinking what the fuck? bishop starts talking about how we will need a 3 ring binder and that there will be hw. we will be in the classroom for one day a week (wednesdays) and thats for the rest of the semester and our final will be on nutrition.

WHAT THE FUCKIN HELL WAS THE MAN SMOKING WHEN HE MADE THIS CHANGE!!?!?!?!?!?!?

u know what, i dont give a shit about nutrition. i hate those liberal do-gooders who are downstate in springfield that are banning us from buying fries without other food or banning regular soda in vending machines. well ya'no what morons? i am an american citizen and i have certain unalienable rights and among those is to choose what i want to eat what i dont want to eat.

if i want to get fat and eat mcdonalds everyday for every meal, well ya'no what, thats my choice. i have the right to do that.

i personally enjoy an occasional (ok maybe frequent) trip to mcdonalds/pizza hut/taco bell to get some food thats 50% fat and soaked in grease and the meat is a mix of pig, cow, racoon, and boot, but ya'no what, thats what makes me happy.

im getting off topic. my gripe isnt that we're learning how to eat right. my point is that THAT IS WHAT THE POINT OF HEALTH CLASS WAS!!!!!! holy shit people, didnt u realize that when u wrote up this unit? ive studied trans fats and carboxyl groups and all that shit already. we DONT NEED A FUCKIN SECOND YEAR!!!!

i dont like this big government we have illinois. its taking away too many of my rights and liberties and its wrong. see, republicans favor a small central gov't and thats how it should. be a government that governs best governs the least.

the point of PE is to exercise. hahaha it reminds me of the slogan that i see on my mcdonalds cups. "its what i eat and what i do" hello guys. it doesnt matter how much "nutrition education" i receive if i dont get off my big fat ass and move around. WHICH IS THE POINT OF FUCKIN PHYSICAL EDUCATION!!!!!

bastards. i dont care about nutrition and none of this bullshit is in the course description. i read the whole fuckin thing from last years course booklet and there is not one mention of NUTRITION, HW, or 3 RING BINDERS!!!! FOR PE?!?!?!? my gosh. the pe class of the 50s was better. nonstop dodgeball :D

oh, im not done yet, i have not yet begun to fight! name the man who said that and i'll give ya 10 bucks*. so bishop proceeds to talk about fourth quarter. golf on tuesdays and thursdays and fitness games on MWF. HOLY SHIT!!!!

where the fuckin hell in the course description is there one mention of golf or fitness games? i was expecting softball and cross-country running. turns out we're not doing softball. the best thing about this damn course. now golf isnt so bad. hell, my sn is progolfer947, but i golf quite a bit (at least i used to) and i want a change in pe. i want to run and get all of my energy out. if i dont release this energy some way it builds up into the form that you're seeing right now. i dont want to golf in pe. i want to do something i dont do usually. AKA softball

fitness games? meh its ok, but its the whole fuckin principle that im concerned about. i dont like that the pe department can snap their fingesr and say "oops, i guess we screwed up on our course descriptions. oh well, i guess we can always change it." thats not right people. a course offering should be like a contract. i agree to go to this crappy skool if they teach me x, x, and x, not i will go to this skool and be taught x, x, and oh we think that u should know y so lets do xxy

thats wrong. its a cheap shot and a dirty trick and its a fuckin blow below the belt. im sorry people, but if u really wanted to change the curriculum, it shuldve been done for next years class. not this year when we've already got our classes done.

so what do i hope to accomplish by this rant? absolutely nothing. im a stupid kid and cant do anything about anything. gosh, i sound like myself at work. so in summary FUCK YOU GYM CLASS!!! lets just hope and pray that its not as bad as bishop made it sound.

*cracking up*

a long overdue post

so ive been meaning to blog for a long time, but finals came up and i had other excuses and i hadta help a lot of people study so my fingers were pretty exahusted after all those aims to have the strength for a blog. oh shit, i said strength and that reminds me of my gym final today and muscular strength. hahaha we got the grades already and LYKE OMG I GOT AN A ON IT!!!!! i'll laugh if anyone actually failed that final....

hmm so how have i been lately? meh, miserable as usual. nuthin outta the ordinary altho i dunno who would actually ask me a stupid question like that. altho the good news is that now i dont have any more finals to study for i can finally put sum more music on my ipod becuz according to kevin its lacking

first semester is done!!!!! WOOT!!!! i'll talk more about it in my year in review blog in june, but overall it was pretty good. i cant say that im exactly looking forward to second semester. lets hope that this weekend lasts as long as possible.

so i finally sit down and type up this daman thing and i realize that i have little that i want to actually blog about. sure, i culd talk about how angry i am at the world or i could talk about the random shit that happens in my day but i doubt that anyone wants to hear about either of those.

hmm crappy post overall. *sigh* i'll do a better one soon. i promise. oh and the numa numa extended remix edition is probably the best one of all time. i must say.

i think i'll go play AoM a bit. that usually takes my mind off things. after all, whats better than using a titan to destroy every living creature on your screen?

i haven't come across this before

interesting interview with the only fullly commissioned officer who publicly refuses participation in the iraq war. i am very impressed by this man.

hes standing by his ideals and beliefs even tho he faces possible prison time for disorderly conduct of an officer and refusing to follow a superior's orders. 6 years in prison is possible. i mean, the war will be over within 6 years, but he is still standing by his beliefs and refuses to go because he feels that this is wrong.

its this kind of thinking that was squashed out in the roman and british armies. if a Roman soldier showed any signs of free-thinking then he would be killed on the spot. you were a faceless slob that had to follow the orders of any superior officer no matter what the consequences.

very good way to run an army. horrible way to run a group of human beings.

one of my favorite quotes is "How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think."

that quote was said by Hitler, and sadly its true. the majority of americans dont think when it comes to government. they blindly accept the actions of their leaders as god-like and shuld't be questioned. i may side a lot of times with republican party and george bush, but that doesn't mean that i dont think about what im supporting.

the patriot act is a good thing to a degree. i'll blog about that later.

so i didnt mean to get into this big ol blog entry. just wanted to share an interesting story.

i disagree with your beliefs, Lt. Ethren Watada, but I respect you greatly.

let all hell break loose

saddam 1937-2006



yer heart may belong to Allah, but your ass belongs to GW.



well I must say, congrats W, you did the right thing for once. my only complaint is how long that trial took. we put up with his crap for too long and this shuldve been done last year. we caught ya 12-13-03! it took us three years to kill you! when we captured him, he shouted out "I am the President of Iraq," — to which an American soldier replied: "The President of The United States sends his regards." priceless lol.



ive spoken to numerous people who put up very persuasive arguments against the death penalty for him, but I disagree with it all. I am a conservative guy, and im a firm supporter of the death penalty. after all, the Bible supports the death penalty greatly and it makes sense. send the man to God who is the only judge. I'll stop the religious lecture before people start yelling at me for expressing my beliefs.



the mid-east is a region that is the opposite of Europe. if u want to use the terms liberal and conservative in their pure, ideological context then western Europe along with the US would be liberal and everything west of the urals, south of the caucuses, above sudan, and east of India (thanks to the US' influence on India) would be considered conservative. they are very traditional and value religion above all else. we never would have gone to war with the USSR. it was absurd to think that we wuld. this is the true problem people. religion. it causes just as many conflicts as it solves.



so getting back to the death penalty. this is a land that is ruled by tradition. they don't understand our liberal judicial system. I remember in bush' state of the union '04 he said that an Iraqi man asked a soldier why we were giving saddam a trial because he was such an evil man. bush chuckled at this and said that that is the American system. innocent until proven guilty. in the middle east (and the whole world before 1700 AD) it is guilty until proven innocent which is impossible to do in saddam's case.



SO the Iraqi insurgents saw this long drawn out trial as a weakness on our part. it showed fear on our part for what they would do after we killed their leader (everyone knew it wuld happen) they don't understand democratic values. are we trying to instill these values in the Iraqis? hell yes we are. but we are also fighting a friggin war that has to be finished first.



life imprisonment for saddam? well, besides the (I'd say 70,000 a year of taxpayer money) amount of money it wuld take to house that evil man in a maximum security prison (like what we did to Noriega. yeah, that evil dictator is serving a life sentence in a prison in downstate Illinois. in our backyards.) this too would have shown weakness on our part in the eyes of the Iraqis. we were afraid to murder him (hell, the man murdered thousands, maybe millions, of his own people, whats one more life?) we wanted to keep him alive for our own purposes and this is not the message we want to send to the middle east.



the world is beginning to doubt the strength of the US, and the death penalty for saddam made things rite. sure sure, the Iraqi judge declared death by hanging, but don't give me the bullshit about it was an entirely Iraqi decision cuz it wasn't. that region understands violence. so we must answer violence with violence.



I am happy about the method of execution. hanging is a very traditional way of execution, and it fit the crime. these terrorists understand violence and death. we had to send a clear message to them that the US does not tolerate their crap. I am glad that saddam was hanged and that news agencies filmed it and took pictures of it. im sure it will be all over arab tv within days. they understand this kind of thing. they need to see that their leader is dead. the mighty eagle has come to cleanse the lands of Allah and it is happening. saddam will hurt no more people.



I highly doubt that the US backed gov't in iraq will last more than a few decades after we leave, but at least we have created chaos in that country and it wont be able to settle down to make any WoMD or chemical/biological weapons for a while.



im going to end this post by saying that the US has killed an evil man. justice has been served. im sure there will be an increase in violence over the death of their leader (not literally, but a figurehead of power). let all hell break loose in iraq, but justice has been served.
