Me and math got into a fight and I ripped maths lower jaw off!

Usually I would leave some time between my last post and my recent post so that people can respond, but I really, really would like to voice my disdain for math classes. Don't get me wrong. I'm not one of those people that say math is not important or that math is useless. All I'm saying is that I don't need it!! Well let me rephrase that. I don't need to know any math other than basic multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, fractions, and decimals. Other than that it is completely useless to me. Why? How come I'm exempt? I'm a double major in Theatre and Religious Studies. I just can't see at any point in my career where higher math will be useful. "I'm sorry Timmy but I'm not teaching you about Jesus until you can find the slope of this perpendicular line" or "Now to better understand my character I'm really gonna need to know the value of x in this equation." Do you see my plight? I guess my final statement on this subject is math really shouldn't be a core requirement for majors outside of the field of math.

Another thing that has been bugging me is these people who are posting on my blog to peddle their ware! I get all excited because it seems like someone has actually taken interest in my words and thoughts and instead some guy is trying to sell me hair tonic for bald men. I'm not bald, my girlfriend is not bald and she definetly isn't a man! This annoying situation forces me to make a difficult situation. Should I limit my comments to only the people who are registered with blogger or should I just leave the comments open to everyone and endure the annoying salespeople? I guess time will tell the answer.

Thanksgiving break is coming up with a welcomed haste. I'm really, really looking forward to Thanksgiving break. Food and sleep, then more food, some football on t.v., more food and then the family tradition. Every thanksgiving everyone who is home participates in the time honored family traditon of a good old fashioned..........fart contest! That's right folks usually the Jacksons are a sophisticated group but once a year we blow the roof of the house and fumigate each room with lovely Thanksgiving gas. The great thing is my girlfriend is eating with us this year and won't she be surprized. I guess that in parting I will provide for you a great home remedy for choking on ice that works every time. Ready? When choking on an ice cube don't panic just pour some boiling water down your throat and that ice cube will melt right away. Your welcome.

I have to say, I agree with you on the math. I'm possibly going to double major in Creative Writing as well as the Film which I'm now well on track with. Algebra=useless. Thankfully, my school doesn't require humanaties majors to take anything above MAT 101. Upon realization of this and because my Asian Algebra teach couldn't speak english, I withdrew from college algebra and signed up for 101. I passed it with ease and now I'll never have to worry about math again.

...OR WILL I????
