Rehab for catholics – “we’ll brainwash your kids for a fuck load of money”
Firstly, before I go into my usual bitter rant, I would like to point out that I am not disagreeing with the idea of “time away from it all” – What i disagree with is the idea of forceful enlightenment.
Sure, some people enjoy the idea of getting close to nature, speaking to people you have never spoken to before, becoming closer to teachers – The ideal of ultimate escape.
To me, retreat is about forcing people to open up – on a schedule. To get people up early and go to bed late – after mulitple “sessions” – Retreat makes those, who do not feel the need to join in with a bunch of over the top, screaming and dancing people, feel like dirt. Spiritual enlightenment? At which point will I find spiritual enlightenment? Whilst you crush the spirits, and shake your head in disapproval at those who don’t need to change to have a better sense of well being.
Where are the joys of retreat that were proimised to frequently? Where they the many sessions in which we prayed – I’m not even sure why, or the group tasks – which seemed to revolve around simplistic aims (do you assume we as females are incapable of analysing feelings or reflect without the use of drawing or painting?)
I hate the fact that on the last retreat of year 12 – of school – ever – I could not find anything to be serious about. There was nothing to analyse. No real issues. Nothing to “pray” for. I’m guessing the main reason you were unsuccessful in your attempts to somehow change my demeanour was due to the fact that I simply cant involve myself in that which has no real point. Yet I felt like a bad person – for sitting down while everyone was jumping around, dancing and smiling.
I got home – feeling nothing different – no sense of well being (that i was promised), no sense of being somehow useful, ultimately no sense of release – life just goes back to the continuous push for better marks at school.
The memories that I wont forget? The prayer? The tranquility? Highly doubted… Rather the way we pressed ourselves against the glass door of our room, screamed at the “friendly” possums, went psycho about walking into a spiderweb and ran down the walkway jumping and hitting each other, our “out of control” imitation 2 stepping and the best hand made fort – which was soon ruined.
Me and Jesi
The Fort and Mal
The fort being crushed by me and Emily… anddd then Emily crushing me – we pride ourselves on being over dramatic (the teachers had the room next to us… oh shame for them.)
Rehab is for quitters – I guess I don’t like to quit.
Im sure a majority of people (at least those who will bother to read this) have heard of the Virginia Tech. Massacre. For those who haven’t I will attempt to briefly outline the event.
16 April 2007, a 23-year-old Korean man Cho Seung-Hui, murdered 32 people, injured 29 and then went on to commit suicide after what is being called “the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.” (wikipedia)
Up until today, I had ignored the fact that this man slaughtered so many unsuspecting people – not even wondering what could have caused this.
Then it occured to me – no human being kills for no reason… I guess thats my logic. So i searched a bit (online because news on TV as i have decided is useless) and came up with this, the most recent “discovery” i assume. My enlightenment came in a package that the murderer mailed to NBC. More shocking; the Postal Service time stamp showing that it had been mailed at a Virginia post office at 9:01 a.m. Monday, about an hour and 45 minutes after Cho first opened fire (he had stopped fire to send this package and then returned to continue). The package contained a video manifesto cosisting of 1,800 words and 43 photos of himself brandishing weapons.
You had a hundred billion chances and ways to have avoided today… But you decided to spill my blood. You forced me into a corner and gave me only one option. The decision was yours. Now you have blood on your hands that will never wash off.
How does one man become so completley detatched that, not only does he resort to murder and suicide, but also pre-meditates a video giving reasons?
You have vandalized my heart, raped my soul and torched my conscience… You thought it was one pathetic boy’s life you were extinguishing. Thanks to you, I die like Jesus Christ, to inspire generations of the weak and the defenseless people.
A fourth year english major with a point to prove, i wonder if, in his eyes, his life and the lives of 32 others was a just price to pay for 1,800 words and 43 photos of fame.
The absolute wonder of Myspace: Whilst scanning random Myspaces (instead of doing copious amounts of unappealing work and study) it occurred to me – a majority of them are the same, yet disguised by a layout or numerous HTML codes.
In a way I am ashamed that I ever let myself get sucked into this ideal of “friendship on the internet”, yet I still find myself on myspace on a daily basis. I’m not going to lie; I rely on myspace a lot of the time. Yet as I scan these pages, for lack of something better to do, I find myself disgusted with who these people become just to “fit in”, and thank my dignity, pride and self respect that I am not at this stage (and never plan to be).
a) Firstly, the addition of “ers” or “s” onto random words, making them not actually words – does not make you cool, but rather illiterate. Stop it. Example 1:
I DON’T LIKE
- Fat Ass And Light Pole
- Hipocrits
- Two Facers
- Talk It Up’s
- Better Then Everyone Elsers
- Shit Don’t Stinkers
- Laughing Drunks
(note that the word hypocrites was actually spelt “hipocrits”… a laughing matter in itself.)
b) Then there is the range of people who think talking in third person is an invention of their own – you are not the only person on myspace who talks in third person – its more like your one in 4/5, and honestly, reading it doesn’t impress me nor your “friends”, however it does give me the urge to slap some sense into your moronic mind.Example 2:
She is 16 year’s of age
She loves to wear tight straight legged jeans
She has black hair
She has very ice coloured blue eyes
Music is her life
Note to 16 year old female, you may as well write “she is just like everyone else, and she is proud” fuck you and stop bolding your words – we get the point, you’re just like every other girl that is too young to sell herself in reality.
c) Noticeably, there are many amateur photographers out there. Somewhat disappointingly – Campbelltown seems to breed shittiness in terms of what these “myspacers” view as photography:
Endless photos of feet, in circles, in pairs, of people holding hands, of hands making love hearts, of shadows, of grass, fences, trees, sunrises and sunsets at some “artistic” camera angle.
How any of it is passed off as Art is beyond me – it falls just short of my disgust of the well known “top 8” and how your “friends” will be moved every 10 seconds. A fake reality that many seem pleased with.
d) And finally, in relation to the many photographs you try to pawn off as artistic, is the number of people who pose and sell how “unique” they are, perhaps attempting to gain more friends in highlighting “individuality”. The sad thing is these photos are merely to promote their new hair, clothes, or some four letter word that conveniently fits across their knuckles. And more pathetically, there seems to be some belief that writing “fuck”, “rawr” or “cunt” across ones knuckles makes you hardcore or “in.” I look at these and think, honestly, what kind of fuckwit stands on a bath, and wastes their time, taking photo after photo of a friend, for the sole purpose of myspace. And on top of that, what kind of person takes these photos, edits every flaw out, then posts it on myspace, just to sell themselves and beg for strangers to comment?
A lengthy post, yet it still only covers ¼ of the reasons why I despise myspace – In general, the fact that some “myspacers” would sell themselves for little to nothing, all over the internet, does not say alot for “our generation.”
Pauline hanson – oppinions of muslims – “They wont assimilate”
- Heres my oppinion for you: Why wont you just do us a favour and fuck off.
Anthony Callea has “come out” and admitted he is gay – He did not say anything before because he thought it could damage his CD sales
- Is anyone seriously shocked?
Sarah O’hare (Bonds model) has become a news reader – has had the job for im guessing a maybe a year or a little less - yet still continues to smile and nod… has said a total of 5 words including “yes” and “mhmmm”
There is a bra size HH – enough said
I got a “demerit” for having purple nailpolish and got told to “remove it by tomorow” - then the teacher nicely asked my friend to take out her coloured earings
- i still have the nail polish so nerts.
… wtf?
