Paranormal Activity........*snores*

I just watched Paranormal Activity. I read that it was so terrifying and scary that i thought it was worth watching. I was really wrong..and anyone who can say they enjoyed this movie and was scared by it...doesn't know what it means to be scared. It was too long and all the paranormal activity consisted of mostly weird noises, a little wind and a small fire. The most action packed moment *rolls eyes*, was when the 'spirit' pulled her out the bed and in the end when it caused her to kill her husband. I just lost 90 minutes and some seconds of my life on this nonsense....yet it beat out SAW at the box office. i am no fan of SAW but at least it can make me cringe and look away from the screen, whereas with this i had to fight to pay attention. This movie's popularity is based on word-of-mouth and and i definitely wont be recommending it to anyone unless they need to be put to sleep. The poster says "Don't watch it Alone", i say don't watch it period!

You Learn Something New Everyday

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. ~Chinese Proverb

Today i was in the library with a friend, we were supposed to be studying, but ended up talking more than anything else. We talked about boys, friends, shared funny stories and boys some more and when we finally did look at our books...well my book...she was on her Mac Book, i taught her that Walt Disney owned the ABC network and that General Electric owns NBC. Neither of us previously knew these things but found them a little odd but interesting. I was reading all about business strategies and by these companies acquiring businesses that are unrelated to their core business processes, they have adopted the unrelated diversification strategy =].

We learned something new today...and whoever reads this will too :p

Unnecessary Frustration

Every semester since I've started university I've had at least one group that just cant get their act together and do what needs to be done. They'd rather fool around, be lazy and and as a result cause unnecessary frustrations, and they just don't seem to care. Why must I always be the one to do everything? Why must I be the one that has to tell people they are wrong and be disliked for it?
How can members of a group, all of which will share the same grade, sit back and let someone submit pages of nonsense with their names attached. No one has criticisms till I say something is wrong, then they all fall in line. That doesn't help anyone.

And when you try to help people, why must they always act as though they were attacked? People that I have come across have no idea how diplomatic I try to be when telling them what I think about their work. Sometimes it seems like if they were given a good cursing, they'd take that much better and get the point and do what they are supposed to do!

Darkness

When darkness consumes the mind,
It weakens the soul,
But when darkness is all around us,
How do you cope?
You want to be happy,
You want to be free,
But that darkness consumes you,
like a vine around a tree.
That darkness is in everyone's future,
But an uncertain one at that.
So how do you ignore that inevitable path,
While still accepting it as fact.

After a long hiatus, I'm back with my first poem which I'm quite proud of.
