Final Blog :(

Dear my many, many followers,

I regretfully announce that this will be my final blog post. I want to thank you all for being so loyal to me throughout my ups and downs throughout the years; in a way, I feel like we've grown together. Thank you to all my sponsors, and again, my beautiful and plentiful followers.

Just kidding, this thing sucks. Thank God this is the last one. Screw you, bloggy blog.

My literature cirlce book of choice was... hold on, I forgot; I gotta check. Oh, that's right. My book of choice was The Politcal Mind by George Lakoff (pronounced LACK OFF, seriously).

I read a post by Hana Becker where she responds to her literature circle book of choice, Thinking In Pictures: My life With Autism by Temple Grandin. The book is about how a woman with autism goes through life and has learned to "replace emotional complexity with intellectual complexity".

People with autism often have a difficult time relating to others on an emotional level but may sometimes possess incredible intellectual capabilities. The Political Mind states that people often vote based on how the candidates make them feel, often favoring conservatives. My book was biased as hell; that was to be expected based on political views of a certain individual in the classroom. Anywho, George Lakoff did make a few solid claims.

Progressives tend to run their politcal debates using facts and statistics as their plan of attack, while conservatives tap into the human unconscious to sway the votes in their direction. A person with autism would be more likely to vote for the candidate with the better policies, rather than the candidate with the better feel. Maybe we all need a little autism.


That's it. I'm done.

Not yet. I have one last ranty rant.

GOD DAMNIT PEOPLE. Stop trolling on Rebecca Black. Okay, yes, her song "Friday" sucks major ass. It may be the worst song ever. But it's not her fault. Make fun of the song, not her. She's 13 for Christ's sake.

She is not the one to blame for her crappy song, it's her parents. The girl is signed to Ark Music Factory's record label, which is a legitimate record label... sorta. They've been making music videos for a while now, but only within the past week, with the release of "Friday", have they gotten any real publicity. It's basically a record label, which lets super rich parents shovel out huge amounts of money to get their prissy teenage daughters in a music video. Blame the parents for spoiling their children to the point where they get their children embarrassed on a national scale. The girls obviously have little to no talent, but they have to keep their little princesses happy. Everyone just wants to be Justin Bieber nowadays.

Wouldn't it be cool as shit if this blog was read by a crap load of people because of the keywords "Rebecca Black" and "Friday"? Just in case that happens, THIS IS FOR A FRIGGIN' ENGLISH CLASS. LEAVE ME ALONE.
