Welcome, one and all, to DeathBug’s Big Honkin’ Review of Higher Learnin’. I’m writing this post on my laptop as I desperately find ways to kill the FIVE HOUR BLOCK that I have between my last class and my next one. I’m too far away from home to go back for any respectable period of time, and the gas bills would eat me alive anyway. So, every Wednesday afternoon, here I is. This, along with the various other minutiae of the new semester, will occupy most of today’s post.

Granted, it’s a bit of a pain, but I volunteered for this; I might have to go to an out-of-the-way campus, but I only have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, thus leaving the rest of my life free. What do I do with this new freedom? Work, while at the same time, actively search for another jorb. I went to an interview at Bank Atlantic, and they’re very interested in hiring me. ($9 an hour!!!!)

At the same time, I’m sending off my application to the University of South Floridia. I could have done it months ago, but the totally irritating and condescending head of my Honors’ College asked that all students submit their applications to her for approval. I did, and waited….and she finally gave it back to me, having simply looked it over and deciding it was ‘good to go’.

Yes, so glad I waited two months for that input.

And, in another odd little…thing, I have more credit in the school book store than I rightfully know what to do with. I get $650 each semester for books as part of my scholarship, and if I don’t use it, I lose it. I’ve already gotten my books, and more office supplies than I could ever want, but I’ve still got, like, $120 dollars left. I wish they sold iPods. I want an iPod.

My Philosophy class seems a bit depressing, as I’ve finished all the assigned reading for the night and it all asks the same question: is there a place for philosophical discourse in today’s world? I don’t know why my professor imagines that now is the only time in human history where it seems like the masses aren’t educated. It also seems to me like he’s a bit haughty, when it comes to determining proper paths of thought. Typically liberal.

My Public Speaking class is totally mediocre, but it’s required, so, meh.

My other tow classes are European Humanities and Sociology, and God only knows what those will be like. But my Sociology class doesn’t even start until 7 pm.

But enough about school. In other news, I’ve drastically cut back on my manga and comic purchasing, as well as my Yu-Gi-Oh! card purchasing. I won’t be buying any Cybernetic Revolution packs when they hit the stores, because I have all the cards I wanted from that set. (I am a trading god!)

And now, I only follow the following manga series: Yu-Gi-Oh!, Shaman King, Bleach, and Excel Saga.

I only buy the following monthly comic: Spider-Girl. I will be buying the upcoming Spider-Man crossover, “The Other”, as well as Peter David’s Spider-Man title.

I only buy the following titles in trade: Spider-Girl, Ultimate Spider-Man, and the odd mini-series.

The reasons for these cut-backs? I’ve decided that it’s honestly time to grow up. I’m not going to completely abandon my hobbies by any means, but I really have to prioritize and spend my money/time better. I’m still not sure which single night I’ll play YGO!.

And speaking of YGO!, if the updated restriction list is accurate, I am one happy fan.

Now, I must go and begin thinking up topics for a few papers. Ciao for now.

Thought of the moment: I needs me a date.

Quote of the moment: “Well, she was a ho’…for sho’.” –Andy, “The Forty-Year Old Virgin”

Song of the moment: “Kick Some Ass”, Stroke 9

How many people wanna kick some ass?

I used to be a nerd
Grew up in the suburbs
Nothing there ever went wrong
I made it up in this song

I talk about the hood
I say stuff like it's all good
Tell people I'm down with all the cool kids downtown
When I've never even been there

How many people wanna kick some ass?
I do I do
And how many people sick of holding it back?
I am
Well I am too

So don't lay a fucking finger on her
She's mine and I still want her
If you put your hands upon her
You're a goner goner

And how many people sick of holding it back?
I am I am
And how many people wanna kick some ass?
I would if I could

But I'm really just a sensitive artist
Perpatrating like I am the hardest

So spin your cap around to the back
You think you rhyme but you can't rap
Loosen that strap a little more
Till your axe hits the floor

Flip off your fans
Make em cheer
Try to look sincere
Anger today's fashion
So sing another song about bashing someone's head in

How many people wanna kick some ass?
I do I do
And how many people sick of holding it back?
I am
Well I am too

So don't lay a fucking finger on her
She's mine and I still want her
If you put your hands upon her
You're a goner goner

And how many people sick of holding it back?
I am I am
And how many people wanna kick some ass?
I would if I could

But I'm really just a sensitive artist
Perpatrating like I am the hardest
Acting like I'm not the smartest
I'm really just a sensitive artist

Awwwww Yeahhhh

So don't lay a fucking finger on her
She's mine and I still want her
If you put your hands upon her
You're a goner goner

And how many people sick of holding it back?
I am I am
And how many people wanna kick some ass?

I said how many people wanna kick some ass?
How many people wanna kick some ass?
Whatcha gonna do when your sick of holding it back?
I think I kick some ass
How many people wanna kick some ass?
I would if I could

But I'm really just a sensitive artist
Perpatrating like I am the hardest
Acting like I'm not the smartest
I'm really just a sensitive artist
Honest
