education is honestly fundamental. without this right, people wouldn't know how to comprehend the world around them and our lives would be dictated by fascism, communism or even capitalism, but never the democracy we have today. with education, people can fight for what they know is right and know exactly how to get it across.

majority of the teens in this society are fucking stupid, to put it blunt. everyone seems to complain about how they don't need it, yet they really do. if i were a figure of authority in the supreme court and one of them came up to me to argue a point, i'd take one look at them and dismiss them -- justice is supposed to be blind, but someone uneducated trying to make decisions is about as attentive as helen fucking keller.

the only people who can complain about education are those who are actually perceivably smart.

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

--Douglas Adams

Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.

--Lawrence Krauss


I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.

--Isaac Asimov

Although the time of death is approaching me, I am not afraid of dying and going to Hell or (what would be considerably worse) going to the popularized version of Heaven. I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism.

--Isaac Asimov

And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence.

--Bertrand Russell

I. CONFIDENT INCORRECTNESS.
when people try to act as if they're right, and get really smug about it, but there are so many fallacies in what they've said that i have to bite back my tongue to not get involved. i hate smug people. i like to knock them back down.

II. COMMONSENSE QUESTIONS.
is it even necessary to ask? it's worse when you can tell it's coming and you know it's going to be stupid/literal.

III. FALLING ITEMS.
i hate when things fall. like, if i'm picking something up and it falls again, or hair falls out of a clip and onto my face. it makes me feel hopeless and i want to cry.

IV. LOUD NOISES.
when people shout, scream, or just talk loudly, i really hate it. i grew up in a house where we yell at each other more often than italians, so i find the volume threatening. loud noises generally mean i have to hide, but outside of home, i just want to block it out.

V. CHARLATANS.
a model representation of everything i hate: that damned brown preacher in my religion class who constantly misuses words and terms in an attempt to be smart. he's constantly pretending to be something else and it just doesn't work for him, honestly. today, he said "asparagus" when he meant "asperger's" (and then corrected himself by pronouncing it, "az-pehr-jirz" when it's simply "ass-burgers"). really, you're just making yourself look fucking stupid, hamza.

I. HORSE HEAD MASK.
II. other creepy animal masks.
III. jesus action figure.
IV. money. a lot of money.
V. peter pan paraphernalia.
VI. navy blue shorts with four or six golden buttons down the front in pairs of two

VII. polka dot tights
VIII. a pocketwatch
IX. a raccoon-tail hat
X. UNIKEYS!

XI. A NIFTY ASSORTMENT OF CHEAP GOODS! C:

i hate when people only listen to the radio. they spend so much money on buying fucking like 35GB ipod touches and filling it with whatever they could probably hear by switching the fm on. what's the point of that?

i hate how mainstream music doesn't make people go to the trouble of specifically finding music that means something to them, you know? they don't get the pleasure of falling in love with a new band or artist, downloading the entire discography, and just listening to them for ages. they don't feel proud when their favourite song comes on the radio, they don't even think, "they've come such a long way since i've first heard them!"

all they listen to is the new stuff. the ugly rap, the pop, the club. they wouldn't even think about listening to a classic artist, like bowie or brahms. they couldn't even recite some meaningful lyrics -- ones that don't sound like they've been written by a little kid with a rhyming dictionary.

it's shit.

OUT OF THE SEA
WISH I COULD BEEEE
PART OF YOOOOUUUR WOOOORLD

yup yup yup
okay
i wish we were still friends
because even though you were awkward and bashful 80% of the time, you were such a sweet kid omg. you broke up with me in the nicest, sincerest way ever -- so i really don't know why we don't talk now... uh, yeah. we didn't have a falling out or anything (as far as i know)
but i guess you're changing and i guess i've changed, too
still, i really do wish i didn't have to look elsewhere awkwardly when i see you
it's pretty sad that we lost so much
our relationship was build on a friendship
and when the relationship went up in quiet flames
it took the foundation with it
one day, i'll find an opportunity and seize it.
i sincerely miss you.

probably paper towns. if you've ever borrowed it from me, you'll see just how immensely i love it.

homosexuality.
honestly i don't understand the trend that goes about protecting it so much. kids these days seem to find themselves so deep and intellectual just by saying "love is love!" but they'll:
a) say "no homo!"
b) make gay jokes
c) use "faggot" and "gay" as insults
d) constantly defend their own sexuality
like, seriously, stop defending something half-heartedly just because tumblr is all pro-homo. if someone doesn't like gay people, that's up to them, but don't fucking tell them off for having an opinion on it. maybe they have a good reason for being against it, aside from following some noh8 trend.

also, religion.
why is it that atheists are most discriminated? in all respects, most other religions are appalling with their histories, yet an atheist comes along and everyone directs their scorn and troubles to that individual.
atheists have never:
a) sacrificed an animal
b) caused a war/genocide
c) dictated matrimony
d) took advantage of altar boys
e) played favourites.
once, i said i didn't believe in god and someone told me, "fuck off, i hope you rot in hell". is that was catholicism teaches people? to be a group of haughty elitists that reject the beliefs of everyone else in favour of a god they find supreme? christians discriminate a lot of other religions. they find ideas like energy reincarnation and a blue cow god preposterous, yet they believe in a man/woman who invents day and night two days before he/she invents the sun! this god who takes lives and punishes for no reason, they love so much, and when someone questions his acts, they say "GOD WORKS IN STRANGE AND MYSTERIOUS WAYS!"

yeah, and 2+2=5, bro.

I. give me attention and recognition, but also go a while without talking to me, just to confuse me.

II. be charming. make eye contact, look down when you laugh, address me by name, smile -- little things.

III. be intelligent to the point where conversations with you enable me to speak my mind, knowing you'll understand, but not so much so that i don't even feel on par with you.

IV. be yourself. really, i hate when guys are constantly trying to make me see in them what i want to see. defy all these methods if you want.

V. give me tight, long hugs.



Handy in the real world manipulation of objects and events, you are easily enthused by practical projects. You often ignore or conveniently forget rules and boundaries that limit your freedom. This need for freedom extends even to the personal sphere and though you are kind and gentle, you will often be hard to pin down to a monogamous lifestyle. Because you tend to verbalize so seldom, you can be seen as phlegmatic or impassive. In moments of high tension you can often surprise those around you with a lighthearted or humorous remark. Because of your facility with the physical world, you are often engaged in sports that require dexterity, such as motorcycling or hang gliding. You will rarely have time for flights of fancy or unproductive discussion. Constraints on your freedom will be regarded as a personal attack.

The intellectual hippie

You love to help people, but usually find unconventional and subtle ways of doing it. You're fascinated by what the human mind is capable of creating, and seek the world for moments to enrich your life. You love psychology and philosophy. Your respect for all living beings makes you a humble and likeable person, and the biggest reward is when you get to impart your knowledge to those around you.

Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a distrust of others and a constant suspicion that people around you have sinister motives. People with this disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close relationships with others. They search for hidden meanings in everything and read hostile intentions into the actions of others. They are quick to challenge the loyalties of friends and loved ones and often appear cold and distant to others. They usually shift blame to others and tend to carry long grudges.
