One advantage of America is that it doesn’t have all the foolish historical baggage behind it that nations of Europe will always carry. For instance, the appreciation for noble blood.
America has always had a keener eye toward merit than any other means of determining worthiness.
You know, if there’s one thing I hate, it’s waiting for food. I don’t care what the food is or how nice the place is—it’s not worth it. I’d rather just leave for Wendy’s or something (at least it’s food). If I weren’t ready to eat, I wouldn’t be at a fricking restaurant! So either feed me or I’ll go eat elsewhere.
I’m really unsure what the heck I want to do with myself in the next few years. At the moment I’m holding on to UTD, hoping the time goes by slowly and that I will have all the answers by the time I am done here (yeah, right).
The issue that is troubling me right now is work. I work for an Austin-based webdesign firm called AO Design. At first I was hired on as a lowly XHTML coder, but I quickly got into more serious programming work, and now I am quite critical to the operation of the company.
Marriage is love an artificial, government-created union.
I would be completely in favor of same-sex marriage, however, there’s one little problem—I’m not even in favor of heterosexual marriage! I personally think the whole thing is crap1. Since when did the responsibilities of the government extend to legal recognition of loving relationships? As a general principle, I think it is a good idea for government and love to stay as far apart as possible—one is bound to fuck up the other.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
This is an essay I just wrote for English [class in high school]. Any opinions? It’s nothing important…just some little thing. The assignment was to write an informal essay about three events that have greatly shaped my life. Enjoy!
It is extremely difficult—if not utterly impossible—for an individual to isolate a range of particular events that have molded him/her into who (s)he is today. Attempts to do so suffer from the same fallacies of generalization as the stereotypes that humans have been battling for centuries.
