AmCon Day 6.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000100001

Whoopie, we get another day of sentence de- and re- construction. More after ZA BREIKO!

Today in AmCon History

Well, not exactly history, to be more accurate. In fact, to be precise, not exactly history either. More after the break.

Explanation

Before anything else, I would like to say that yes, I am aware that the location says "posted from Hoyme Hall Showers". This is entirely accurate. Ladies, I am very sorry, but I am not posting pics, especially on Singles' Awareness Day.
You may ask "why are you posting from the shower?" I respond by reminding you that recent scientific research has proven that men do their clearest thinking while in the shower.
I am writing to give my excuse. My blog post for today is going to be delayed because it happens to be about something that is a major focus of an online community that I am part of. The summary of the summary is: what we talked about in class today is VERY similar in idea to an anime that I am a huge fan of. Neon Genesis Evangelion. In the post, I will talk about Apocalypticism and Evangelion, and will include clips and pictures. The show is famous for what is known among us otaku as "mindrape", so be aware that you're going to be treated to an in-depth analysis of something that might be considered to be slightly disturbing. I can go on for DAYS about Eva.

Wait a minute.

I am in Minnesota. That should be implicit to most people reading this. However, it's 47 degrees ABOVE zero right now. Could some one please explain this blasphemy in the comments section? Thanks

AmCon 102–Day 2

We started early today. After this was pointed out, we had a deal: start early, leave early. More after the break.

~750 Words Arranged in a Cunning Order - Essay Due Today

In 1871, America was in the midst of post-Civil War reconstruction, and a lone Englishman wrote a long essay about the dangers of Democracy. This prompted Whitman to write a long essay about the dangers of writing long essays about the dangers of Democracy, but in a roundabout manner. Dave Brooks admired this essay because it speaks well of America and Democracy and because it shows a person change his mind halfway through. I wouldn't know if I agree or not, seeing as the essay was sideways when I downloaded it. After nearly shattering the screen of my laptop, I managed to read it, though. Whitman's dream of America was that of a rich and prosperous nation always looking at the bright side of life. However, this changed as he began to think about his home country and look around, and write about it. So far, judging by his mood as the essay goes on, his dream is kinda unfulfilled. Well, nothing's perfect in this world, deal with it. I would say his dream still stands in remote corners of this country, mainly in those who haven't paid attention to the news since the end of the 1950's. I'll get the quote out of the way now. The T-Shirt quote for me would be "Literature has become the only general means of morally influencing the world." as it would probably be the best way of inciting a reaction from those who disagree. I know for a fact someone will disagree at some point because there are enough differing positions on the planet that somewhere there is someone who is the precise opposite of me. Makes for a great conversation starter, am I right? Going back to the thread of the original 750+/- word essay, the dangers to Whitman's aspirations were the problem of that little slap-battle that occurred ten years prior to writing of his essay, as well as those who disagreed with him, details after the break. Anyway, major issues occurred later on as he discovered that his cheerful optimism was kinda baseless. All in all, I found the cheerful reading to be very interesting and will certainly look forward to the in-class discussion one hour from now. Ciao!

AmCon 102B Day 1

Today, we discussed Democracy, but not just in America, but also in Egypt for some strange reason. FYI, Links are GreenText.

Anyway, we all discussed how Democracy does and sometimes doesn't work. Over the course of several people speaking, including myself, we came around to the conclusion that America is a republic trying to make other countries into democracies. Maybe, just maybe, we have a log in our collective eyes. Just a thought.

After going over everything about politics and how that relates to Athenian and American versions of Democracy, I realized that there was a major issue that no one was voicing. I tried to voice it, but we ran out of time, so I'll write it here.

The big problem with Democracy and Republics can be described with two words: Politicians Lie.

I'm willing to bet that the discussion would've gone far differently had someone stated that and opened the floor to discussion and civilized debate.

I will later post my thoughts on our reading homework, in the meantime, check this out!

OK, Here we go.

Semester begins tomorrow, so HERE'S MY PLAN

We're required to post at least three a week. We have class three times a week. Does anyone know what's on my mind yet?

Yeah, I'm going to post right after class each day and enjoy the flames in the comments section. What fun. Please refer to my other blog (just plain old ClariNerd, you know) for everything else, such as the content that has occurred over the past several posts. My other blog will probably turn into a You Laugh You Lose/4chan general news thing....or anything I'm interested in at the time. Good Molasses or Bad Molasses. Also, be sure to refer to my Steam profile if you wanna join me for a round of CSS or CSSbeta......or MOULa. Yeah, I'm so bored I'm plugging for Steam friends on an AmCon blog......I am so dead tomorrow....

IT'S FINALLY OUT!!!

And in what will probably be my final non-AmCon blog posting of all, the famed To Aru Majutsu no Index II OP 2 has finally been released. Judging by the content, Episodes 17-24 won't just be Punishment Game/Accelerator vs Kihara/ZOMG TEH HYOUKA!!!, it will also include Team GROUP's formation as well!

Gandalf would'a had something to say

And so begins the great Nor'easter of our time.


IIIIIITTTTT IIIIIISSSSS HHHHHEEEEEERRRRRREEEEE!!!!!!!!
