Scientology

Scientology is way awesome. Friends and I have always said that we should start a religion, but now I'm really serious. Look at Scientology, Mormons, the many, many cults out there, and of course good old Christianity, if those schleps can pull it off then I'm sure that I can get famous people to give me their money. Apparently L. Ron Hubbard had a really in depth documentation for all of it, so maybe that's the key. I just need to make a super detailed story and then tell people that it's real and that they need to pay to find out more about themselves and their god. This is gonna be sweet!

The Modern Buccaneer

I've been sailing the seedy seas of internet piracy for many years now. I was into Napster before it was on the news, I found Kazaa and Morpheus before they were filled with crap and viruses, I jumped on the torrent bandwagon before the RIAA started randomly suing people for using the default ports that torrent software uses. My upload is measured in terabytes and I always upload to at least a 5.0 ratio, sometimes up to over 100.0. Now I find myself studying to become a game designer, my dream is to make a living in an industry that I've been stealing from for years. Does that make me a bad person? Should I stop downloading software? I've been thinking about this for awhile now and I really can't come to an answer. I've never downloaded out of malice, or because I thought that these people that toil away at their craft don't deserve the residuals they get form the games, but out of my desire to play games without having the financial backing to buy every game that strikes my fancy. But does that really justify it? Or should I just get a job and save up like a good little wage worker? Oh morality, why are you such a burden sometimes?

Two to go

I can't believe i've been in this class for an hour, i really thought it had been two :( this class is the dullest thing i've ever had to do. Even if i were starting college this stuff would be totally worthless. I don't know what they plan on teaching us but it shows how disconnected and fucked up the whole "Do everything in chicago" system is. Before committing to this i should have looked into some other colleges like westwood or something. Oh well, maybe i can take courses there after this or something. Unfortunately the lame ass prof is back.

Lost in a sea of ignorance.

Here we go with another in class blog. funny how the most time i've ever got to sit around is in this class. I think the worst part about this school is how damn stupid people are. We're doing one of those "you're gonna die, rank there items that you need to live" things and one of the items is a sextant, now i have no idea how to use one or even what one really looks like, but at least half of the people started giggling and saying that was the most important one. I guess i just expected more of higher education, but that's what i get for going to a school that accepts anyone that could pay and probably a few that can't.
