Checking in...

Hi everyone!
I figured I'd write something more positive today, after writing such a fun poem yesterday. :)

Given you're reading this, unless I inspired someone enough to print this out which is highly unlikely, it means you have the internet. That alone is marvelous, something to be thankful for. Second off, you know me or know of me (just kidding xD ).

Anywho given the scheme of things us general population with internet access have it pretty good. We have indoor plumbing. I was reminded of that when I had to walk by a porta-potty. And it smelled like crap. Literally. I've learned tons of random stuff off the internet. Internet access is marvelous.

We have access to a lot here. Being a Christian isn't a crime, and trying to get others to be as well isn't one either.

Yesterday's poem was rather anti-capitalist, but if you look at in in a more selfish perspective, you don't have to let others that learn slower or something drag you down if you don't want to. You can rise up and then help them. Freedom to pursue whatever...

Us people in the US generally have it pretty good.

As for myself, I'm thankful I'm pretty healthy, no major disorders that I can identify. I believe I have a bright future being a Christian, and I have ample opportunities to succeed. I'm fortunate enough to be able to pursue a lot of random hobbies and stuff...

Anywho more ranting later, but I hope if you read this you can boost your mood a bit. I posted this because homework was getting dull and I needed some positive vibes xD Okay back to work! seeya everyone.

Yoke of Modern Education

Okay I guess I can say that this is the refined version of the homework epic. Written today during Math, and I did some illustrations during art, but too lazy to scan now xD

Yoke of Modern Education - By Alan Wong 11/14/07

From zero to one, from one to two
From dawn of day till dusk is due
From 5 AM to late at night
From when its dark till when its light

I awake each day, fresh and new
I step outside, see morning dew
Upon my back, a burden I hold
In hopes of a future, rich with gold

Thus begins each school day
And that routine is here to stay
Day in, day out, repetition
Never changes, no revision

To work and get good grades
Try real hard, get all A's
Take AP, more than one
To succeed, neglect fun

From this work, derive satisfaction
Don't lose pace, don't lose traction
To give up, means to fail
End up homeless, or in jail

Get to college, get there quick!
Learn the facts, and make them stick!
That is what they told me, that is what I heard
Their promises of riches is what has me lured

I'll take the tests, I'll pass the class
I'll study hard and learn it fast
But when I'm old and look to the past
Will it matter, will it last?

Childhood spent in hopes of fortune
I could have had a lot more fun
Time is lost, can't be regained
All to try for material gain

What is love? What is life?
Is my time worth this strife?
Tests and books, pens and pencils
Makes us students drawn with stencils

From this yoke, shall I be liberated?
Or my self to be obliterated?
Will I die with a PhD
But no love in life for me...

Homework Epic part 1 start

Okay off to do homework... Here's my start to the Homework Epic

Homework Epic 1: By Alan
---------------------------------------------
Another day, the daily grind,
Prepare the body, prepare the mind,
Get to college, go succeed
Learn to write, and learn to read

From an early age that's what they said,
If you do this, then you are set
From all of this, you won't regret
The satisfaction that will beset

Hard work! , ethics ahoy!
Let good study habits now deploy!
Take a pencil, now time to waste
You must start now, begin with haste!

Leave behind your childhood,
All those lessons have done their good
Now its time you must apply
For if you don't, you won't get by!

-To be continued.
