A famous orchestra conductor once said: "Never look at the trombones. It only encourages them." Double that for bass trombones.

Hmm.. Updated scedual!! No updated life. Life is still the same as ever. Went to work today from 9-4. Then came home as sat around the rest of thee evening doing nothing. YAY!! Ohwell... I don't even know why I bother posting the same thing day after day. Maybe is give my life some meaning, or at least it give me something to do each day. Sorry to the few people to read this that it has gotten to be so borring. No rants like older posts have. Oh well... I will try and think of something interesting to post. Hmm.. maybe I will post some of my stupid essays from school that I wrote. I gave Maya my globalizaion essay, that she says she might post. Ok. I found a stupid one. This was one truth that I wrote of english. This essay is nothing spectacular. Just something to fill up space.


Truth Essay
If ignorance is bliss, then why do we attend school? If ignorance is bliss then why do we have newspapers, radio, and television? It is human nature to seek answers and to know the truth. This instinct is part of what separates human from other animals. I believe being ignorant is to ignore one of the central parts of human existence.
In Oedipus Rex, the central character, Oedipus, has a truth unknown to him. He has ruled over Thebes as king for many years in bliss and happiness. After these many years of happiness, the kingdom starts to be afflicted by a plague. The secret is still unknown to him yet he lives without bliss. Ignorance can only be bliss while bliss exists around it. Once the bliss starts to fade ignorance is no longer an option. Human instinct takes over to want to learn why these hard times are upon them. Learning the truth is the only way peace can be obtained again. Once Oedipus learned the truth about himself and his fate, the plaque is lift from the kingdom.
The world today is by no mean peaceful. This is rampant disease, war, malnutrition, and other pestilence. Since ignorance can only exist in a peaceful environment, discovering the truth about ourselves, and the world around us, is the only other option. Our world realizes that. We build schools, labs, and test facilities, to learn more about the very nature of our being. Television and newspapers bring world events to the average person. Much of the news in the medians is about death and suffering. People want to know about everything even the bad things. The world today is based of learning the truth, nor ignorance.
Many people would love to live in a Utopian society were everyone can go about their business being ignorant to any major truth. They never have to worry about who, what, where, when, why, or how. Some people would find that world perfect to live in. To me that world would be torture. I love to learn about everything good and bad in the world. What you do not know can still hurt you. Oedipus would still have the curse of the gods upon him even if he still did not know the truth. Just because a truth in unknown does not make it no true. Only when you know there is a problem can you do something about it.


Ok enough with the stupid essay. Just sitting here counting the days till something interesting happens. 10000000000, 9999999999.....
