bus blogging

you know whats great about having a laptop? bus entertainment. seriously. i think of it everyday but usually i'm not in a position to haul it out and make it work. but today, everything is working out in my favour! i wrote my tutorial response question thing for my philosophy class. i didn't send it because i have no internet, but its written. i waste 2 hours a day on this damn bus. not to mention walking to and from the bus stop. i wish busses had internet access. that would be superb. imagine what i could accomplish then! the only thing that's creepy is the woman who isn't directly beside me, there is one set between us, she keeps trying to read my screen. does she think i don't realize she's doing it? it makes me think of that commercial for the screen cover thing and the guy is on the airplane and the 2 guys on either side of him keep trying to read his screen. haha that's such a funny commercial.

speaking of commercials, my ethics class today was about living the good life and what does that actually mean, the "good" life. so obviously we got into a huge discussion about consumerism and all of its negative aspects. that's one thing that i'm realizing about philosophy [this class anyway], it's so negative. all this class does is talk about negative things. how horrible people are and how fucked up our society is. it brings me down. anyway, i'm not saying that we don't all lead overly commercialized lives. we do. but i don't think that there is anything we can do about it. we live in the society we live in and that isn't going to change. sitting in my philosophy class with a bunch of people who think the same thing is pointless. its like preaching to the choir. we know there is a problem. the preaching needs to be done to the people who don't think there are any problems out there. but maybe i don't get it. i never claimed to be a philosopher. today the prof asked the question, who feels a sense of fulfillment?. out of the whole class, i'd say 3 people raised their hands.

i don't know where i was going with that.... is this me having a non-argument with myself? wow. that's pretty bad. its bad enough when you have non-arguments with other people, but with yourself? yikes.

the people sitting in front of me are being all kissy. i'm gonna puke.
