Unacceptable

The date: Sunday, September 26th, 2010.

The time: 7:30 pm.

The sun had set. I was going to Ralphs to pick up some chips for the dinner.. I don't have a car and, respectively, I can't drive, so I ride my bike down to Ralphs whenever I need anything. It's right down the street from my house so it's no big deal.

Well, California has decided to go through another heat wave. And just a little tidbit of information: When there are heat waves in California, people go insane. I guess it would be worse if it was this insanely hot in Boston or someplace cold, but Californians are already nut-jobs and adding heat to the mixture is just a bad idea all together.

.. Ha, sorry. I got distracted. I'm watching my dad and my uncle play the Playstation Move...

Oh, if only I had my camera on me to get a picture of this. It's fantastic.

Anyways. If you have been watching the news or listening to the radio, you'd hear that today, September 27th 2010, Southern California had record-breaking heats of up to 115 degrees. Average for around this time of year? Mid-seventies, sometimes low eighties. Not to mention last week it was only 78 for most of the week.

This heat is driving everyone insane. I swear. On the car ride home, my dad and I had the windows rolled down (his A/C doesn't work. Well, actually, it does... We're too scared to use it though. It makes weird noises) and we were stuck in traffic. The sun was beating through the windows, and being inside the little truck cab just seemed to amplify every single blade of sunlight. I was drenched in sweat- Literally, I haven't sweat that much.. Ever. It was disgusting. Everyone else on the freeway was either in the same sentiments as us- Not wanting to overheat their car by using the A/C, so sitting on the road with the windows down, feet hanging out and music blasting.

My dad and I were going to walk down to the beach to cool off after we got home (we only live about two blocks away) but once we were inside our house (without A/C as well) and sitting in the shade with all the fans on, there was no way you could get us out.

It's almost ten at night and it's still blistering hot outside. I can't wait for this heat wave to be over.

Let Us See

Life about now.. Is crazy.

I know, it's only six weeks into the school year. And here I sit, procrastinating doing my late math homework.

It's not like I have anything against math... Oh no, wait, I definitely do. Math was made up somewhere along the line when they deemed electric chairs and limb stretchers inhumane. So they came up with mathematics. Math is torture that does not screw up your body, it just fucks with your brain. (Pardon my French)

These math teachers stand at the front of the class preaching to the crowds of poor, suffering children/young adults, expecting them to not only understand but to PAY ATTENTION. What can I say? This whole "math requirement" to graduate is a cruel and [un]usual punishment.

And then, these evil creators of torture (so-called "mathematicians") decided to make everyone's life even harder. You want to know what they did this time? They used their insanely confusing brain functions and created the internet. And not too long after that, they created Facebook.

Pure, pure torture. I can just picture my own math teacher, so cool and collected on the outside, sitting at his desk during his student-free period, laughing maniacally as he works on the Facebook subliminal messages, making that stupid webpage more and more addicting as his math assignments grow in length and difficulty. He knows us students have no clue what is n equals, and he also knows that we do not care. So he decides to screw us over by giving us crazy tests that we have no idea how to do and end up FAILING miserably.

I'm not really sure if this makes any sense at all to anyone reading this... I'm multi-tasking as I write this (music, Facebook, math homework) so it's more of a mental explosion on the page. Enjoy this as you sit there attempting to do your own math homework, and realize that your brain is slowly melting out of your ears.

Welcome to the party.

PS- Here's a little picture that somewhat relates to math, but would make everyone's life so much better if math was actually this simple.
