Interlude

1 exam and 1 paper down, a crapload of exams and 1 paper to go. Here's a summary of my thoughts this week:
-Damn
-Damn
-Damn
-Damn
-Crap
-That Arizona immigration law is really oppressive and racist.
-Damn
-Mother fuc***
-Sh**
-Rousseau is a douchebag.

Aside from that, my dad forwarded me an interesting quote from Noam Chomsky that I found to be a bit...foreboding.
“I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime,” Chomsky added.
“I am old enough to remember the 1930s. My whole family was
unemployed. There were far more desperate conditions than today. But
it was hopeful. People had hope. The CIO was organizing. No one wants
to say it anymore but the Communist Party was the spearhead for labor
and civil rights organizing. Even things like giving my unemployed
seamstress aunt a week in the country. It was a life. There is nothing
like that now. The mood of the country is frightening. The level of
anger, frustration and hatred of institutions is not organized in a
constructive way. It is going off into self-destructive fantasies.”

That's all for now,

Spring has sprung and pounced on an antelope...

Damn. Just damn. It seems like the weather is diametrically opposed to what it was last week. I think that people with seasonal depression will be so shocked to feel the warm weather and see actual leaves that they may just faint or, even better, stop being depressed.

Ah, Spring. For college students, it is somewhat of an annoyance and a hindrance for two reasons: 1. It reminds us that there is very little time left in the semester, essentially creating a latent sense of giddiness akin to being a kid in kindergarten. I, for instance, am writing in my blog instead of doing my god damn physics labs, which, god damn it, I will do (eventually). 2. Girls. You know what I mean.

Anyway, for my generic diatribe on politics...eh, screw it, I'm going to go run outside like a crazy kid. Enjoy some new music from the Flobots off of their new album, Survival Story.
