Wax and Dry

Grinds my Gears---- How is English still a subject in Universities around the country? I understand that the language is something to get on and learn to communicate; very useful. I give props to the writing part of English also. It is necessary to know how to write and to somehow form an essay in an understandable format to present to others. Compelling stuff.

The part that really "grinds my gears" (shout out, Fam Guy), is the Literature part of English classes. When will I ever use the symbolism of Anna Karenina in my life?! My English teacher gave this example in class about

Math as a subject. He said that he had to learn it in in High school and college but has never used it in his profession. I could very well say the same thing about the things I am learning in his class. I understand that English lovers all over are passionate about this stuff and they love it. Well I love Seinfeld but I'm not forcing you to learn the reason why Kramer doesn't go by his first name! Give me a break.

I would like to do something for my blog where I copy Keith Olbermann's show where he chooses 3 of the worst people of the day, BUT since I have a life and he doesn't I just stick to doing it weekly BUT I wanna do a more optimistic look to it, sooooo without further Ado.....

Presenting.....

World's Best People of the Week

Good

Jason Mraz

Africa Trip

No, I'm not a crazed Mraz fan of his music but his work in Ghana working with the people down there is notable of my nomination, surprisingly he wasn't there for the World Cup in S.Africa like the rest of Hollywood's celebrities. Read about it. Mr. A-Z is on my list!

BP eyes Kevin Costner-backed oil clean-up tech

Yep, our Waterworld, Robin Hood hero is now making an impact on the Environment with his $24mil machine of which has been approved by BP to clean up that dang spill. Finally all those Dances with Wolves fans out there can say they made a difference. Well... unless this is a way for him to make the best out of a bad situation in the millions he is earning back from BP's investment. His intentions are good.
