Work:

No more! No more soul-sucking work! The soul-sucking is now being done by school. Unemployed and proud!

School:

So I am taking Fire Combustion and Behavior, Hazardous Materials Technology, and DC Principles. They all suck. Not the fields of study, but the form in which they are presented to me (namely, school). School is one of the most profoundly destructive and backwards ideas ever conjured by the insidious and flawed mechanisms of the human brain. It assumes that

  • I am not curious, and
  • I need to be pushed in order to learn
both of which are not true. I cut class this morning and learned twice as much as I would have in class, got my finances done, and read 20 pages all before my class that I would have been in was a 1/3 over.

Personal:

Bored, angry, lonely and depressed. Occasionally something good will happen. My life is going no where. Waaah.

Programming:

I am doing some volunteer coding for the EFF. My grandparents think that what I doing (for the EFF) is "awful." My mind has been under siege by a variety of fascinating and complicated subjects in CS and it's underlying memes.
