A day full of learning and new lyrics!!!

Hey everyone, how was your day? I hope your day was as "delightful" as mine. I learned multiple things today, which I shal spread over the next few paragraphs. Oh and I wrote some new lyrics for my feelings that I've been having lately, it's more of a recount of every time I've felt a certain way. I'm also going to post a new video on my blog that you guys should listen to, it's one of the latest songs I've been listening to by k-os (he's on the same level of the Black Eyed Peas as one of the best hip-hop artists of all time). Although he's an old aritst, he's still got the best songs that I continue to listen to. Oh and my friend Miko hopefully will finish my blog poster today and I'll post it by the time this post is over, you guys can print out your own copies and I'll give you instructions on what to do from that point on. Well just sit back, relax, and get ready to read.

Did I tell you guys about my opinion essay? The one that was supposed to be handed in today? I hope you remember it, because my english teacher obviously doesn't. When we got the assignment, she "surprisingly" left school "surprisingly" without any instructions on what to do for the essay, for an entire week! I understand that she's Jewish and everything, but come on! I bet 75% of the time she wasn't even doing anything. Anyways, when she came back today people were ready to hand in the essay we have all worked on SO hard for the past 2 weeks (some of us including yours truly stayed up til 12 doing the essay for numerous days) and all she said was "I'm not accepting your essays because they were to be done in class". Firstly, she NEVER told us it was an in class assignment. She even looked in the class log (where we write what goes on in every class and key notes on the board) and she didn't find where she said that the essay was in-class ANYWHERE. Secondly, when she asked for all the people that heard her say it was in-class essay to raise their hands NOBODY raised their hand except some very "smart" kid that felt he needed to be funny at that moment. And then when we wanted to keep trying to solve the problem she just discarded what we said and in the end said "Look guys, stop this discussion. You are doing the in-class essay and I'm not accepting ANY work done at home". Well if I was Jewish and was a teacher of my class what I would do is at least send the teacher instructions so that the kids would know not to do their essays at home, she didn't even do that! All she did was send the teacher instructions about what worksheets we should do, and all these worksheets could be equally substituted for a green booklet that contains what is needed for an opinion essay that nobody decided to use (I don't know the exact figures but nobody I know used it, if you used it that's great :) which was a waste of paper AND time. We could've just gone over what was in the green booklet instead of doing dumb worksheets that half of the class didn't do (no surprise) So now, we're supposed to do our essay again and on the same topic. What I don't understand is how she has the nerve to tell us that we didn't follow instructions and that it's not her fault. Can't she be at least a considerate human being and say "Well I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure that I notified you guys about this" and hopefully realize her mistake. That would soften the blow, but we ALL know that wouldn't happen. And here's the other thing, the kids that didn't do the essay have a chance to write the essay. To me, I think that they don't deserve to hae this chance. Like this kid Duncan, he supposedly didn't know when the essay was due, which was this tuesday when a supply teacher was still here. And now that it's Thursday, he still didn't complete it? Thats 2 days, 2 entire days to do the essay and he still didn't do it. Now he has a history of not completing assignments and getting bad marks. SO you be the judge, does he and other people like him deserve another chance? I don't think so, and I'm pretty sure you don't either. Which is why I'm going to start a petition on Monday so that Ms.Kazman will at least change her ways or does something about the way she teachers. And besides, I've already expanded on my idea, doing it again won't help me learn anything. It's like blogging about the same idea twice, it looses its importance the second time and you don't learn anything new. If anyone has any ideas on how to write a petition, and I've already got the support of the class because I know everyone wants her to change the way she teaches. Le me give you an example why, this kid that left her class a week after I came had marks in the 70's range in her class before he left. Now that he's at his new school his english marks are in the 90's. Now I know that there are MANY factors that could contribute to this, but how can his marks go up so high so instantly? Easy, he wasn't in Ms.Kazman's class so his life was better for it :) And Ms.Kazman, if you're reading this, I hope you realize that you were wrong to just drop a bomb like that on us. I know it's hard to admit you're wrong, I'm no exception and so isn't everyone else reading this. I don't want you to apologize but I want something to happen. And that's it for this post, lets move onto the next one shall we?

Today we had an assembly on global warming. And I was so angry after it I just had to make a topic out of it. For years people have been telling us that global warming is an issue, that we need to do something about it. Well what the hell are we waiting for? There's A LOT of talking going on, and very little actions. Now I'm not the best eco-friendly person, but I do my part. I buy local food from a chinese market 3 minutes from my appartement, I turn off the lights and electricity appliances when I'm not using them but I know that's not enough. That's why I propose SO many good ideas sometimes but everyone discards them because they're too expensive or not possible. Well I ask you, what other freaking choice do we have?!?!?!?! Do we really have an option anymore? My generation is the last generation that HAS to deal with this problem or else we are ALL going to die at an early age and possibly won't have kids because of the rising temperatures. And even if we do manage to have kids, they won't have enough time to change the world around because by then it'll be too late. So that's why WE have to do something. Now here are the ideas I had, we can cover up roofs of buildings with solar panels. I understand that they're SOOO expensive and they aren't that effecient, but the Vatican Church is actually running ALL on solar panels, so why can't we? And once again I ask you, what other choice do we have?!?!?!? I know I'm not going to just sit around and let the earth die off. I'm going to do something big one of these days, I just gotta have the right amount of planning and followers. Look, if you want to keep destroying the earth go ahead. But don't expect me to do the same, I'll get rid of your cars if I have to. Because in the end that's how desperate we're going to be to remove all the CO2 in the ozone. I know I'm over exaggerating it a bit, but I don't understand why we should sit and do nothing about what's going on and just ignore it all. 75% of you reading this frankly don't give a shit, well for you people you can just click the X button on this tab you're on and leave. Because this blog isn't supporting you and your ways, I'm supporting the green route on life. Ok I have NO idea why I just wrote it, I just felt it's what I needed to write. Look, here's the bottom line, we NEED to do something before it's too late. I'll cover my entire house with solar panels or appartement if I have to, and I'll clean every single one of them just to save the earth. All I need is the right tools and the money. And if you feel the same, I suggest you do what I do. Ok how about this? What if I can get the entire city of Toronto to bike for the entire day? I know it's near impossible, but what if I could? That would knock out A LOT of CO2 out of the layer and definitely cool down Toronto. All I need to do is figure out how I'm going to do this and when, if you have any ideas please put them into the comments section. But for now, I'm just gonna move onto my next topic.

So recently, I went to my school's library, sat down by myself, and wrote down some new lyrics. It's basically a recap of my lonely days which continue, and I'm perfectly fine with it being like that. Solitude gives me time to think, to reflect on what I've done or regret or going to do or want to do. It's a wonder what you can achieve alone for a few minutes. These lyrics are no exception to that rule. You can be sad for me, but I'm glad I wrote these lyrics because I needed to express my feelings one way or another and I felt better after doing it. Oh and my new stage name is going to be "Mr.Lonely" from now on. That includes my performances that I do that include singing or dancing solo acts. SO here are the lyrics you've been dying for (I know you haven't, it just makes me feel better to think that you have :)

Alone, sitting in the library
Nobody sees me, feels kinda scary
Invisible man, where have you gone?
Ignored and pushed away, the only one
All his life, neglected and hated
He gets no love, even when he dated
Those awful memories, full of sorrow
But then again, there's always tomorrow

To retaliate, and love more than hate
Trying to live life to the fullest, but I can't appreciate
I like it that way, me vs world
It aint easy yeah, but that's how I showed-
my talent, lone up on that stage
Releasing and repping the J-boys, along with all that rage
To fight, bein proud and with honour
Against the devil, lady luck, ya heard
Who else did you think bestowed this upon me
I did not want this, yet I'm Mr.Lonely
Chorus X2: I have no friends, I'm just a joke
You all heard me, so let me soak-
In my lonelyness, I do this for no-one
It's just the way it is, my path is a lone one
I follow nobody, got my own style
I'd rather have this forever than friends for a while
So I say goodbye, on my final exit
Haven't felt that for a while, but that's why I didn't make it

Walking the path of a loner, is no friendly road
You have to be prepared, with no expectations in store
The lonely life, is filled with misery
But that's just one side, one side of me
You can't make a deal, or ask for this life
Have to want it and earn it, just like your wife
It ain't all beauty, this legend of the lone man
Who walked the road of life, holding his own hand
With no-one beside him, helping me out
Had to do it myself, construct it all out
And this life chose me, yes it did
Though I did not ask for it, not one little bit
Chorus X2

These lyrics will probably be one of my first songs that I'll perform with my loopstation that I hope to get in the next couple of months. I'll try to go out in the street to perform, but I still need to practice first of all and the equipment to do it all. I hope you guys liked this EXTREMELY long post, but that's what you gotta expect from me at ALL times. I'll see you guys later, tomorrow hopeflly where I'll try to review a movie or a comedy special. Either way, I'll be writing a new blogpost in the coming 3 days. Until next time: Read it, learn it, live it, love it, and post it!

Cheers, MarkL
