   Sorry, everyone needs to rant every once in a while.
*sigh* Nobody checked out yesterday's post. *tear*

I'd appreciate at least a look at yesterday's post if you missed it. It took me a butt-load of time to type, so it'd be cool if it wasn't for nothing (it has some fun stuff in it, and it details my latest art-submission).

As for how Logan-kun's doing on the Otaku, things ain't goin' so great. >=P
Remember that issue thing? Yeah, it died down for a quick while, but now it's back with a vengeance.
Believe it or not, a few people (who contribute to how bad the issue is) unknowingly mentioned it in their comments on a few posts ago. I of course kept my mouth shut about it, but it probably won't stay that way for long.
What set me off on a particularly bad mood was that it was mentioned in one of the Otaku News Stories that they posted a day or so ago. Now that made me angry....

As for school life, things are goin' straight-down the sh***er as usual.
This weekend we're supposed to pic our classes for next year and turn them in tomorrow.
This is stressful enough, since I'm deciding what my entire school-year will be like next year in one already stress-filled afternoon, but guess what....
Our School Board, in their infinite wisdom (utter sarcasm, by the way), has decided that starting next year, we'll have 4x4 scheduling.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, let me explain:
This year, we have A & B-Day scheduling. This means that Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have my A-Day classes which are Civics, Sci. Vis., Algebra and Business. And on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have my B-Day classes which are Art, English, Spanish and Chemistry. (The week after a week like that, my B-Day classes would be on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and my A-Day classes would be on Tuesday and Thursday. Basically, whatever the last day of school was today is the opposite.)

But next year, the School Board will start "4x4" scheduling for us all.
This means, I'll have my 4 A-Day classes every day for the first half of the school-year. Then, at Christmas, I'll have my B-Day classes every day until school lets out.
I can tell you right now, it's going to suck.

Having the same classes every day ruins the entire point of classes that are 1 hour and 1/2 long.
In exchange for having hour and 1/2 long classes rather then 45 minute classes, we get an extra day to do homework. But with the same classes every day, that little perk gets taken away.
On top of that, hour and 1/2 long classes are already hard to sit through. Now that I'll have the same class day, after day, after day, it's going to be Hellishly boring and monotonous.

Students and teachers alike absolutely hate this idea (and the School Board, for that matter), but just like anything the School Board does, we don't get a say in it.
Everybody hates the School Board, and there's nothing we can do about what they decide.
Ain't that just lovely? Making up for their incompetence with discomfort and excessive effort...it's just great.

My mom and I got in a fight earlier this afternoon.
Well, more like a disagreement we just yelled over, if that makes any sense.
In short, my mom dropped a bomb-shell on me today by going back on everything she's ever said by somewhat implying I should hit my brother when he smarts off to me.
Of course, she said "You'll still get in big trouble for it, but it'll be worth it, won't it?".
No, no it won't. I work my ass off to earn what little I have, and she expects me to risk it all over something I know I'm right in.
You can't say "it's OK to hit him, but you'll still get in trouble for it". Hitting him is the only thing I can do to get him to stop something. You can't reason with him, and my parents refuse to help.
Wouldn't it be a lot easier if my parents just stopped my brother from doing his little obnoxious routines? It seems like that should be their job, doesn't it?
My parents are full of sh**, and they always have been.
I'm the closest thing to a perfect son I've seen compared to the other pot-smoking, shop-lifting sh**s that torment their parents with their behavior.
But do I get any recognition for it? No.
Guess that shows you what you get for doing the right thing: sh**.

I'm sorry I'm being so down, everybody, but life's hitting the sh**s for me right now.

Prayers would be really cool right now, if you could spare the time.

Thanks to anybody and everybody who sat through that long post.
I do have a few bits & pieces of good news to share with you all, but I think it's best to save those for another time.

I'll see you all later.
