Book learnin

After careful examination of ancient literature, I have concluded that Agamemnon's sacrifice of Iphigenia, as alluded to in the Odyssey, is the earliest demonstration in Western culture of 'bros before hoes.'

Ok, ignoring that unbelievably awesome statement I just found in my Google Notebook, I don't really have a lot to talk about today.

I went to the optometrist earlier today, and for the most part my vision is the same, but something always gets me. There are very few things on this planet that can make me feel more mentally handicapped than going into a building and purposefully letting someone make me sensitive to light. For the love of all that is right how the fuck do they come up with shit like that?

I'm currently straddling the line between an engineering major and a business major. I can't decide how that makes me feel. Being an engineer always seemed like what I wanted to do, what I should do. But I just don't care anymore, I just want it done. Why do these institutions, these places I pay for book learnin at go out of there way to make it terrible to go there? Shouldn't they want me there? Shouldn't they want more engineers to come out of them? I don't get it, I just want my piece of paper so I can go home and sleep.

I had a conversation the other day about how Tool has ruined music. Not because they're terrible, because they are SOOOOOO GOOD. There's a few things the capital letter and italics are reserved for, things like Zelda, Halo, Lost, and Battlestar Galactica. Tool is in that group. It's amazing. I listen to something else and it becomes forgettable almost instantly. It doesn't have those progressive riffs or the amazing vocals or the deeper meanings. In a way it's good, I like to know that I've found music that I connect with, but everything else is just amateur in comparison.

Also, putting images up into blogger with Picasa/hello has proven strangely difficult. This is not something I am used to seeing from Google co.
