School Sucks, Mmhmm Rocks

Guy 1: "I went to catholic school for twelve years."
Guy 2: "If you went to catholic school for twelve years, why aren't you catholic?"
Guy 1: "Because I went to catholic school for twelve years."

I've gone to school for over twelve years and I am downright sick of it. If I could only function outside of the classroom (some might argue, as would I, that I don't function inside the classroom either) I might consider dropping out of school. But I couldn't do that because I've always been taught in school that I need to stay in school. "You never stop learning", they say. I argue that you stop learning somewhere around the 9th grade. School just seems like a waste of time right now, but my lack of effort is a waste of mind. If I'm going to stick with this, as it seems I am for at least one more semester, I might as well do my best. I better start salvaging this semester, I've only got about 2 weeks left before finals. Good times...

If you haven't already gone out and bought Relient K's new album, "Mmhmm", you really need to. It is simply incredible. By the way, it debuted at #15 on the Billboard Top 200 Album's chart. That's pretty amazing, considering all that was pretty much accomplished by an 'independent' band. It will be interesting to see what happens when Capitol starts to push the album.

Later...
