Teacher

Recently, on a project, I would have gotten an 100% becuase she miscorrected a problem. Now this was fine as she collected the ones with the mistake and at the end of the period handed them back. Exactly the same. She then lied about them being wrong to cover her own ass. Even when confronted with the textbook she wouldn't budge. She requires us to call her with Dr. instead of Mrs., she is a chiropractor. Not any educational degrees, a degree in chiropractics.

Another separate project, actually this was even the next day, she called me and two other students up to her desk. She yelled at us, not talked to, yelled, about how we only turned in 4 power point slides (We were supposed to do 10 but the day it was due upped it to 15) Now sure, I was expecting it the night before. But when my four slides were more then the whole classes, no one else turned one in, I expected a bit of leniency.

As a side note, on the day before the project was due my friends grandfather (R.I.P) died. You wanna know what she said before even anything like "I'm sorry for your loss." or something? She said "Oh, Okay, then he can hand in his project on Thursday. It was due Wednesday. The day before his grandfather died and she let him have an extra day for his project.

How the hell is this teacher getting tenure this year?!

I'm going to need a bigger blog...(Yes, I had to make that very bad joke.)

Posers

I am going to forgo the Saturday Song Special since my last few posts have basically been filler or a S3. So today I will rant on, getting back to my original music blog idea, of people who say they like a band, but then when you ask them what their favorite song is they say the bands most popular song.


Now, people say I am posing when I say my favorite song from RUN DMC is "My Adidas". Now for a bit of background information. I am a scrawny white male with shoulder length hair. I look like I doesn't even know that Ice Cube was a rapper before he started making family movies. Everybody always calls me a poser when I say that, until I name other less known songs; such as "Peter Piper" or "Hard Times". Songs someone who isn't a fan would know, nowadays.

One such was the band AFI when "Miss Murder" was released on Guitar Hero 3 (see my rant about Guitar Hero). Before that, most didn't even know about them. Some didn't even know they were a punk, even though in my opinion some of their songs were kinda Emoey.

Library Minion

As you will not know I have a twin brother. We are not identical but we do look allot alike. We often go to our Public Library, from which I am currently writing. Normally, I just loiter around because my brother works there. I really hate it when people interrupt me reading, or being on the computer and tell me to shelve a book. Now if they ask nicely, sometimes I will do it because I have nothing to do. But normally the forcefully tell me to do it and when I say that I don't work here they get all annoyed...I hate people.

Saturday Song Special

Even though nobody reads this, I am sorry for not updating with a song on Saturday.

 

"Death Is the Answer" by Early Man

 

In 2005 Early Man released its new Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne style song "Death is the Answer". I say Ozzy style because the song starts out slow, like The Wizard or Iron Man, but then speeds up and becomes a song that would sound what Sabbath would sound like if Ozzy wasn't stoned all the time, or British. Thus the Brooklyn based Heavy/Speed Metal band Early Man made their first single.

Guitar

Not really pertaining to music, but nonetheless is really cool.

It is a guitar with a puzzle piece finish made by using different types of woods. Or maybe stains, I don't know.

Saturday Song Special

From now on, on Saturdays, I will profile a band or song.

"Boten Anna" by BassHunter

Boten Anna, literially Anna the Bot, was written by a Sweedish Eurodance artist, Jonas Erik Altberg, better known by BassHunter. This song is, oddly, about his friends girlfriend. BassHunter thought Anna was a bot because the friend said he would make a bot for the BassHunter IRC Channel. But he didn't tell him he also gave his girlfriend Admin privileges. Seeing a new member with those powers made him think that that was the bot. This peaked European song charts getting first in the UK, The Netherlands, and his native Sweden. Their now is a bot called Anna in the BassHunter IRC channel now, as well as a channel, #Anna, that has 'em.
