Seve Savoie Teruel's Journal  After a certain age, education isn’t really all as important as everyone says it is. Actually, I believe that education is actually going to end up trapping us. Sounds weird huh? Think about it, we go to school because we want our degrees and diplomas, which will then automatically mean we are qualified to do what ever job that our program was related to, and nothing else. If we want to try a different field of work, we have to go back to school so that we can be qualified for that other job. Some of us take course because we honestly enjoy it, but others take it because they have the pre-defined idea that a good degree means a lot of money. Who cares if you hate the field your in, at least you’ll have the money to buy happiness right? Wrong. Degrees and Diplomas won’t make you rich nor will it make you happy. A “good education” so to speak will only put you in a job where you are always one step below someone, where you will always have someone watching over you, telling you what to do, and no matter how hard you try, you will not go up, or at least, not significantly. Why, you may ask? Because the owners of the company and yourself have one major difference between the two of you, he/she has initiative. He/She had an idea, marketed it, made money off of it, and now he/she owns your ass and can make you do anything he wants, since he’s your source of “happiness”. If you keep doing what he wants you to do, you’ll never be on top. Look at Bill Gates, he had been accepted into Harvard University, and what did he do? Dropped out. Why? Because he realized he had something big going on with his garage gang of programmers and took a chance with it. Look at him now, filthy f***ing rich, and nothing more then a high school diploma to his name. A good idea, well marketed, a few evil tricks and now he’s got more money then most third world countries combined. Education has lost its true meaning. In the past, people traveled far and wide to speak to wise men and women, to learn philosophy and science, because they genuinely wanted to learn. Now, the pursuit of money, which brings happiness, has caused so many young, growing minds to believe the only way to be happy is to be rich, and the only way to be rich, is to get a good degree. No one goes to classes anymore because they want to; they go because they feel they need to. I’ll be honest, I do plan on going to University, but I see it more as a backup, I plan to start up my own company, I’m not sure what yet, but that’s just minor details. I go to my classes not because I feel the need to go, I go to them because I enjoy learning about computers and programming, about writing and making websites. Sure, I go to the classes that I don’t like, it’s a price I have to pay for the good ones, but I don’t see my diploma as the holy grail of money making, I see the experience and knowledge that I am gaining to be much more valuable, and if one day I decide that I’ve learned enough, I’ll stop going, no point in being unhappy. Sure, it’s a lot harder to find work when you don’t have a diploma, but imagine the feeling of starting something from the ground up, it could be something as big as a recording studio or a simple as a coffee shop. There’s no better feeling then watching something you create flourish. And think about it, if you start up your own company, you’re the boss, how does that sound to you? Sounds like happiness to me.

Everyone believes they know the reason why; blame drugs, alcohol, parents, teachers, video games, movies, television etc. etc. The list seems to go on and on, but no one is certain as to what the true problem is, but here's my theory. Natural Selection has been completely wipe out. For those who don't know what natural selection are, here's a little explanation. In nature, if you were slow, wether it was physically or mentally, you most likely would end up being dead, wether you fell of a cliff or you got eaten by a lion. This rule used to apply to everyone, animals as well as people, but sadly, we have found a way to avoid nature's wrath. Who is to blame? company like Fisher-Price. Everything has become so safe. From children's toys to household paint, with warning labels and child proof locks, too many dumb kids are still alive. Sure, it sounds morbid, but it's not that kids are getting dumber, it's just that I believe there are more dumb kids now then their were in the past, back when we had lead paint and toxic silly spray foam. Just look around, everything in this world has become idiot proof, remember those jungle gyms that we all used to play on when we were younger? the one's made of old splintered wood and stainless steal slides that could fry an egg on hot summer days? the ones that if you didn't watch were you were going, you'd fall 7 feet straight down head first? Gone, replaced by plastic and padding, with safety bars that are twice the height of most average 8 year olds. Or remember when firecrackers were legal? The smart kids would go blow things up at a distance, where the dumb kids would end up blowing off their fingers. And don't get me wrong, i don't think that because a kid is dumb, he should die, but in the past, and I mean a long time ago, their were no safe toys, they had sticks and rocks, they played with what they had, no matter how unsafe it was, and the kids who made it out alive were the ones who used a little common sense. Ask your parents if they had all this safety stuff when they were younger, or go back even further and ask your grand-parents, and I'm sure they'll tell you that they didn't have any of this, the only thing keeping them alive was their brains. You want further proof, check out http://www.dumbwarnings.com , a web site dedicated to warning labels found on everyday products to help prevent stupid people from ironing clothes while they are still wearing them, and to help them remember that, and i quote, "Wearing of this (Child-Sized Superman Costume) does not enable you to fly." Matrix 3 Trailer Baby BEST......CAMPINGTRIP.......EVER That's all i'm going to say Current mood:  horny.
CONTRACT: MY 30-DAY PLAN Goals: 1. By the end of this week, put 1000.00$ into savings account [ ] 2. By the 12th of September, pay off credit card bill (Aprox.Value: 300$)[ ] 3. Lose at least 20 pounds before school starts [ ] Plan: _ 1. I currently have 300$ in my back account, which, added to the 700 I will be receiving from Lafarge Canada Inc. will go into a savings account. Therefore I can’t spend any of that money. 2. Although I haven’t received my latest credit card bill, I have calculated that I have accumulated another high credit card bill of approximately 300$ or so which will be due in about one month from tomorrow (12th of September) Since after this Friday I will have a bank balance of 0$ and the current paycheck that I haven’t cashed yet is going towards the camping trip, I will have to save up my next two EB paychecks to be able to pay off the bill. This means that for the next 30 days there will be no spending of unnecessary money. Also, I also have to pay my cell phone bill for this month which will have to be deducted from the camp money (45.00$) so I will only have 100$ to spend for the Camp Trip, 3. Everyday (excluding Thursday and Friday since I will be at work) I will come home for supper, which will guarantee a healthy supper as well as save money. I will also eat a home made lunch instead of buying my lunch on school days and when I work at EB, also to eat healthy and save money. I will also start walking the dogs more often and bike while I’m playing GameCube as well as start playing Dance Dance Revolution more often. Although this will be very difficult, especially having to deal with having no money until the 19th of September, I hereby swear that I will accomplish my goals without cheating. Current mood:  determined.
Random Rantings Vr.2.0 That’s Right, I’m back, due to popular demands I have decided to restart my column in an effort to enlighten and enrage the masses. I’m sure everyone is as happy to see me back as I am. But enough B.S. lets get started. Fashion I’ve been around for just about 20 years now and I have seen more then my share of fashion foibles; The return of Bellbottoms, Jeans with faded marks on the knees and asses, neon orange hooded sweat shirt with matching sweat pants, but nothing beats the latest craze…hair bands on guys. Now I have been informed that the reason why most guys wear those hair bands is because they are big soccer (football for those who get pissy over these things) fans and are trying to mimic the soccer players. I can understand the players wearing them since they have long hair and don’t want it in their eyes, and it’s probably just to short to tie back, but why wear them socially? I don’t see any Hockey fans walking around the school wearing shoulder pads and helmets. I really don’t mind men that are wearing them to keep their hair from falling in their face, and it doesn’t look that bad if it’s discreet, but why the hell are guys with short spiky hair wearing baby blue hair bands? That’s the equivalent of wearing glasses with no lenses or wearing sweat pants with a belt. Not only does it look dumb, it doesn’t even serve a useful purpose. Diseases Mad-Cow, West-Nil , S.A.R.S, Monkey Pox, and so on and so forth. I’m sick of it. (no pun intended) We are all freaking out about these so called “outbreaks” when in reality not that many people died from it. Hell, there’s this one thing in most third world countries that is killing dozens of people a day. It’s called poverty, but no one cares about that now do we? Sure, S.A.R.S was scary since it was in Toronto and even right here in Montreal, and it did take quite a few lives in Asia but did we really need to have a Rolling Stones concert? Tax payers dollars going towards a rock concert that is supposed to kick start Toronto’s tourism industry when in reality the only reason they even went there was for the Rolling Stones and most of them will probably never go back Toronto, S.A.R.S or no S.A.R.S. Sex I like it. It’s Fun. That’s it for this week, tune in next week for more Random Rantings.
