I have the best history teacher in my entire school

I'm sitting here in my history class on one of the school computers, and I've realized that I am a very lucky guy. My history teacher, Mr. Copeland, is one of the few adults at the school who actually treats me like I'm somewhat self-reliant and intelligent. He's also one of the few people I've met who loves history just as much, if not more, than I do. He's also one of the most intelligent people I've ever met. Anyway, right now in class, the seniors in my class are at a town hall meeting, and Cope is playing us this series of short films called "Subway Stories." Most teachers I've had, in this situation, would just forge on ahead with the lesson plan and damn the seniors. Not Copeland. Not only does he slow us down temporarily to help the seniors, he plays an entertaining series of films for us. I'm not sure where I'm goin' with this, so I'll end it here. In all likelihood, more to come.

Why school is a fucking pile of shit.

I'm sitting here in my English class, and my teacher has made the mistake of asking my class' opinion on something. He asked what we'd like to listen to from some bullshit NPR program, This American Life or something. Out of one corner of the room, someone yells "GANG WAR!" even though there's no piece entitled that or anything fitting that description. Then, some of the girls in my class say they want to hear a piece about a teen mother. They probably want to hear it to give them some pointers, because they're morons, and they'll probably run into the same problem. But, there are redeeming things to English class. I sit next to a senior named Kousuke, who's probably the nicest guy I've met in my school thus far. I don't know where I'm going with this blog, it's just stream of consciousness stuff, but I need something to do to vent my anger, so I wrote this. That's all for this time, and I'm sure I'll have more to post later.

And so it begins.

Well, here I am. I never planned on making a blog, viewing blogs as little more than evolved LiveJournals. But, I've decided to make one, and I plan to use it to ram my opinions into your heads. If you don't want to read my opinions, then kindly fuck off. But if you want to read them, then please do, and please comment. I always welcome others' opinions. However wrong they may be. ;)
