ok, cooled down a bit from the SAT rant, so i will now address the strange-ness of our town's halloween alternatives. i can understand how our christian community might be a bit apprehensive about holloween falling on a sunday, but i ask you what is the harm in allowing a bunch of little kids to dress up and go trick-or-treating? its not like boone has a large satanist following among the wee ones, or even among the not-so-wee ones, so why the shift of the "offical" halloween celebration to saturday? true, sunday is technically a "school night" to most parents, but halloween is a holiday, an ancient tradition that dates back to when jack-o-lanterns were still made out of turnips by superstitious peasents...so why the huge fuss about halloween occuring on a sunday? if you've got any theorys, don't hesitate to post them under comments, i'd like to hear them.
Ok, on to more sane topics...like the concert occuring at ASU tonight, right now in fact... i'd like to say right now that i'm extremely proud of brent, anna, Z and any of my other friends that are playing tonight...i'm sorry i couldn't be there, but you guys rock! it is so cool to see "young folks" taking the go-ahead to do something so cool, and something that requires such talent. you guys are my heros...really, you are!
Oh, and anouther thing to you people, Horn in the West is looking for volunteers to scare some folks thursday, friday and ESPECIALLY saturday... i'm doing it, so is jason, more of ya'll need to come out and do this with us..its from, like, 7-12, and they provide make-up and costumes..com'n it'll be fun!!

and folks, the SAT sucks!

Well now, here we go, you pay almost $30 to sacrifise your saturday (and the weeks leading up to it if you're studious) to go take a test that counts for absolutly jack-shit in the real world...ok so you made a 1300 in high school, big whoop-de-doo, you still flipping hamburgers in real life... you might be able to tell your kids about it one day, but still, what did it accomplish??? NOTHING! Colleges should come up with a better way to judge academic talent! yeah, yeah, i know that's what all the essays and that kind of bullshit are for, but really folks, anybody can fake those suckers given a valid internet account...so, what does the score do for YOU? Most of us have been tested so much by this point in our schoolastic careers that we feel like chunking the whole system out the window. You might be in every goddamn Advanced Placement class under the goddamn sun, but does that count at first glance? Nooooo...making a 1400 or 1500 on the fucking SAT does. You know what test I support? the goddamn ASVAB. Thats right all you fucking hippies, the goddamn ASVAB. Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. it tells what you're suited for, and what you need to improve. not some damn generic testing format that wouldn't even be clear to a damn physic. Now this might be getting a bit Brave New World-ish for some of you, but think about it... i know there are others out there who have been screwed over by the SAT and were part of the intellectual elite...not that i'm saying i am, but i know for damn sure, i'm better than a goddamn 1160.

sooo...here's my virgin blog! whee!

Ok, so i admit, Claire got me hooked, and intrested in blogging, so i shall try to be worth reading. As of now the Han is getting ready for colleges and the end of her reign as WHS Drum Major, otherwise known as the "uber-nazi-band-bitch" (thank you, lilly). I'm missing quite terribly all of my friends scattered across North Carolina ( I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOOOOO MUCH!!! PROMISE!!) And i do intend to visit you all SOMETIME before i graduate..you know who you are, oh, dearest, if not nearest, to my heart...i love you all passionately (heehee jon, look! i really do!).
Sooooo..yeah, senior night tomorrow..woot! Looks to be quite amusing, my lovelys, so come see! i'm trying to disengage from the IM-ing spree that has been going on for an hour and go to bed, so this shall be it for my first, shining, wonderfully penned..err...typed, blog! :)
oh, and i made a 96 on my ASVAB..hell yeah baby! go me, go me go me !
