oh yeah, i just figured out how to change the text color. SWEET!!! anywayz, i actually came on here to rant, but BJ just told me how to do that. hee. i was always typing my posts in "edit html" when i needed to be in "compose.

okay, now for my angry rant.

why the fuck does everyone HAVE to find someone to hate??? i mean like, i don't necessarily like some people, or get along with them, or want to talk to them, but i don't HATE them! it's so absolutely aggrivating! i mean, come on people! don't you have something better to do with your life instead of HATE all the time???? to be perfectly honest, i cannot find a good reason to really HATE anyone, even Logan Gooch, who is so ignorant and pitiful that someone should put him out of his misery, even if he doesn't know he needs to be put out of his misery. (the most preferable way for this to happen would be...i don't know...tossing him into the aligator tank at the zoo, or maybe just drop him off a helecoptor in the middle of the ocean...) (now, don't go taking me seriously, i'm not going to go murdering anyone. don't cart me off to an asylum. **shakes head and rolls eyes** sheesh.)

anywayz, my QUOTE OF THE DAY is not at the end of the blog this time, because i want to discuss it:

"If men could only know eachother, they would neither love nor hate."
~Elbert Hubbard

i think that's totally true. i mean, if you really know someone, knows what goes on in their head and really understand them, then maybe we wouldn't hate or love anyone. of course, it might be a good thing that we don't fully understand anyone, because love and hate make us feel ALIVE. if we don't have the ability to feel ALIVE, why would there be any reason left to live?

of course, there's also another quote, from the book "Starship Troopers" by Robert Heinlein. now, i may not be totally right because i don't have my quotebook right in front of me:

"that old saw about 'to understand all is to forgive all' is a load of tripe. some things, the more you understand them, the more you loath them."

that could make sense, too. that part comes after one of the army men ran away from the army camp, broke into someone's house hundreds of miles away, and killed a two-year-old girl.

the thing about that book is that the story is tediously boring and typical and dull, but he has a lot of good ideas about society. i'd recommend it for anyone who's hungry for new ideals, even though the book isn't exactly new. i think the first copy was published in 1959.

also, it was really interesting because a lot of the things that are invented in the story are actually becomming real, along with other "science fiction" books like Farenheit 451. the soldiers in the Mobile Infantry in the story wear machanical suits, and guess what else has a VERY similar (if much more flashy) mechanical suit? Iron Man. pretty cool, huh?
