If there’s no point in anything then what’s the point of complaining about everything? A crusade against the world may roll a few heads, but will ultimately turn no tides.
Keep this up and the voice that constantly tells you “There’s no point” will turn into “It’s not worth it,” a hop, skip, and jump away from “I’m not worth it.”
(But you are.)
Nihilism will eventually lead to this conclusion, which is a pretty stifling mindset for a writer.

I recall in college some years back taking a history course in which the professor took the view that the Age of Reason was a ploy in which the entire GCOB was used to explain the entire universe and therefore there was a definitive explanation for all things and a “Reason” for this order therefore no great need to explore this philosophy beyond the dictates of the GCOB. Not to be confused with the Enlightenment where the GCOB gets into trouble with the peasants (neo capitalists or capitalists in waiting).

You began by stating that you aren’t going to begin the blog like everyone else. When you say “like normal” on your fifth line is basically saying that the day started like ususal. So technically you maged to contradict yourself in what looks like your first sentence. Then you do it again in a later line when you say “I sarted eating my USUAL first period lunch”. I love how well you keep youself away from the norm.

@Adrian, I must have misspoke. It’s actually 288 population centers for 1 submarine. We have 14 that we know about, which makes for a whopping 4032 nuclear warheads that can be detonated over major cities or military installations. Which means with just our submarine missiles alone, we have the ability to end all civilized life on earth. (Though, through our treaty arrangements, we are supposed to only have supposed to have 2688 warheads altogether on the submarines). Let’s hope we don’t ever have to use them!

Acutally, my comment about my dog was not “out of nowhere”… I promise. I know I can get off track sometimes… or what appears off track. But it was in reference to my conversation on the phone with Ms. Navarette when I said I could not cover a 7th period today b/c I had to pick up my dog from the vet since she had had knee surgery. I was asked about my dog and so I answered the question. And it wasn’t that Ms. Sumerall let you set where you wanted, but that you were seated with your friends. Oh the details! So many, so difficult. They connect everything together. (Lastly, what was the worksheet and what were my instructions? They definitely belong in the notes, too.)
