Well you see due to our demanding curriculum and what our administrators call "poor writing skill" at school* (particularly English) our English teachers have started forcing us to strengthen our sentence structure skills. After a few weeks of well structured paragraphs a large mass of text is hard to read.

Also at the time I was helping a fellow student partition their hard drive for a tri-boot machine.

I know, excuses excuses.

*State writing assessment, the reason why our school did so poorly is that our teachers don't teach for the tests, but what is need for that student to know more about the subject. Most of them do that is.

The erroneous beliefs that they can effectively do many things well at once (multi-task) and that the reasons for their perceived short comings lie outside of their own limited capacity to pay attention or retain detail.

Sorry, Nappa... You wanna swim with the big fish, you may end up in water that's over your head. :p


P.S. - Honestly, I don't mean to pick on you. I just couldn't resist. If my light hearted jab offends you, please feel free to rant about it in the "What old people do" thread.

Oh, yeah... that one got shut down for some reason... hmmm... :D

But seriously - no hard feelings, man!

Multi-task: a phrase coined by the ADD crowd that refers to the starting of many tasks and the completion of none.

I hate it when young people blame others for their own problems.

What passes for comedy these days.
.....
Seth Rogen is going on my "Ignore" list, along with Dane Cook, Katt Williams, Lisa Lampanelli, Will Ferrel, Carrot Top and a few other so-called "comedians".

Give me the Marx Brothers any day. Or Sam Kinison. At least he had some wit to go with the bad language.

Most of the last remaining good comedy died with the passing of George Carlin.
