The Cure for Hurricane

Shut up about cancer.
Yes, it's a horrible disease. It kills people.

But what we really need is something to stop hurricanes. That's what I call a spiffy discovery!
There must be something we can do to stop them from forming.

Of course, you will probably respond with one or more of the following arguments:
1. No, there is not.
2. Even if there was, it would upset meteorological balance and [blah blah blah blah blah blah], ultimately destroying the world!
3. You're an idiot.
4. I hate you.


I'm not going to argue with the first two, because I'm not doing a lot of (or any, for that matter) research on this, which is odd, because it's the sort of thing you'd expect me to know about.
So basically I'll take your word for it, provided you actually know what you're talking about.

If you used argument number three, well, that's subjective. If being an idiot means making ridiculously uneducated statements and giving you a hard time about it solely for my own enjoyment, then, well... it'd be pretty silly to deny that I am one.

Now, regarding number four: Words cannot express how little I care.



So now I'm going to talk about things that are happening, in the news and such. I really should do this more often; I want to make it a point to do this more often (if you guessed that this has something to do with all the Dave Barry I've been reading, well, you'd be right), possibly in every post. I have an RSS for BBC... er, sorry. RSS is Really Simple Syndication, it's a constantly updating bookmark sort of thing that's rather handy. BBC is the British Broadcasting Corporation... they... broadcast things.
So let's see here....

First off, there's the election. Astoundingly, it's still going on.
...Oh, wait. That's not astounding at all.
I hate how it eats up the media. Apparently not just in the US, either; see? There's several items on the BBC feed about the election, and this is true at pretty much any given moment.
Anyway, I narrowly missed being able to vote, but even if I could I would write someone in. I don't want McCain to win, and I really, really, really don't want Obama to win.

A handwritten (and apparently unfinished) score by Mozart was discovered in a French library.
Ooh, snazzy. I hope someone comes along and finishes it, although apparently all they have is the melody....

The Large Hadron Collider has still not destroyed the world. It hasn't found any evidence of the Higgs Boson, either.
...Then again, it wasn't supposed to have done either one of those until much later (and in the case of global annihilation, by "much later" I mean "not at all").

Piracy in Somalia is getting pretty bad, and... Oh, tomorrow is Talk Like a Pirate Day, by the way. Yarr!

A sea battle took place between the Sri Lankan navy and Tomali rebels...
41 people died... The navy managed to scuttle their mangy oppresors, as near as I can tell. My, this is all scheduled oddly, isn't it? Obviously, everyone is celebrating. I wonder what would happen if there was a "Talk Like a Terrorist Day" (let's not find out, shall we?).

19 people were killed in a Mexican jail riot. Obviously, the problems could be solved in one of the following ways:
-Get rid of all the jails.
-Get rid of all the riots.
-Get rid of all the prisoners.
-...Move out of Mexico?
That's all I've got.

The economy is still in deep trouble. The banks are trying to sort things out by doing... all that stuff they try to do.
But I'm guessing that either everything will blow over without anyone's help or we're headed for the Great Depression: Part II: The Movie: Unleashed.



...Right, then.
Now, you may be wondering why I rarely post anything about what I've actually been doing. Well, I'll tell you.

Now, I can't speak for anyone else, but personally, I find this kind of thing boring:

Today I went to band. We played music.
Then I came home and studied for the ACT. Then I read some comic books. Then I worked on a computer game. Then I went to bed.

...And that's what most of my posts would look like. If I ever do anything unusual, I'll be sure to let you know.
But since it's something I wouldn't want to read, it's something I'm not going to write, either. I figure you would much rather read about my opinions, and I certainly would if you had a blog (which most of you don't, but if you did I'd probably read it).


At any rate, here are the posts I still owe you, if you'd forgotten (it has been modified a bit, anyway):

-Cartoons
-Everywhere Else
-C.S. Lewis
-J.K. Rowling
-Vigilanteism
-Culture

Right, then.
I'm done for today.

(By the way, I have surpassed 400 hits... w00t! I wish I knew how many different people those came from, though.)
