I feel unhappy with my layout...I think it looks very cool, but I just feel...odd. I want to bust it around some. I either need to make an Intro banner, or change something... cut it all down to the bare basics even. I don't know. What is this inspired by? I don't know. I got a new desktop on my home computer, which is virtually a polar opposite in style and colour to my last one. My last one was a machinist, dark red piece, whereas this new one is very white, and pale blue and abstractist flower. I just feel...itchy. But it isn't that physical itching, it is that burning kind of itch inside your chest where you just feel really reckless and rash and feel like some god damn change.

I just feel really discontented with my site at the moment. It is boring...it looks good, but I want something else.

Anyway...pheeew.

My science teacher is still away, and so we had a replacement. Her name is Miss Mackay...and she is one psycho bitch from hell. I hate her! She has no damn clue what she is takling about and...aaarrgh. It is hard to put into words, but she is a psycho bitch, can be so....nasty. Bleh I hate her!

I just feel very... something today...I have this burning kind of feeling in my chest...no, it isn't like something physical,m I just feel restless, like I want to dman well do something. Something I probably should do is type up a paragraph on the differences between individual and collective wnats for next period...but I am too procrastinatory. lol. Is that even a word? Should be.

Anyway, here is an article I found on ninemsn.com. It details a comment by KISS member Gene Simmons. Tell me what you think...do you agree or disagree with his view, and what do you think about his timing and place of commenting?




KISS bassist offends Muslims
13:46 AEST Fri May 14 2004


KISS bass player Gene Simmons has caused an uproar among Australia's Muslim community by launching an attack on Islamic culture while in Melbourne.

The lizard-tongued rock god who is touring Australia with the world's most enduring glam rock band launched an attack on Muslim extremists during an interview on Melbourne's 3AW radio.

"Extremism believes that it's okay to strap bombs on to your children and send them to paradise and whatever else and to behead people," he said.

The Israeli-born US musician went on to say Islam was a "vile culture" that treated women worse than dogs.

Muslim women had to walk behind their men and were not allowed to be educated or own houses, he said.

"Your dog, however, can walk side by side, your dog is allowed to have its own dog house... you can send your dog to school to learn tricks, sit, beg, do all that stuff - none of the women have that advantage."

He went on to say the west was under threat.

"This is a vile culture and if you think for a second that it's going to just live in the sands of God's armpit you've got another thing coming," he said.

"They want to come and live right where you live and they think that you're evil."

Simmons said the United Nations approach did not work and the west had to "speak softly and carry a big stick".

The radio station fielded calls from Muslims upset at the comments, including Australian Muslim of the year Susan Carland, who said Australian Muslims rejected extremism and did not fit Simmons' stereotype.

Ms Carland said she had two degrees, was doing her honours and "certainly do not walk behind my husband".

Chairman of the Islamic Council of Victoria Yasser Soliman said Simmons' comments were "very unfortunate".

"He's very famous obviously and popular and, as a result, influential," he said.

"Mixing the entertainment world with the political and religious world is a minefield."
