Slavery in the Cereal

One of these days, someone is gonna have to expose the slavery in the cereal campaign ads that keep popping up. So my friends Clayton and Jason and I are just eating lunch in the CAF when the question of the old cereal cartoons comes up and with it the slogan for the ad for Golden Crisp that puffed up oat cereal that I used to hate when I was little. And with it that little brown bear that used to come on and sing: "Can't get enough of that Golden Crisp," and we realized how depressed and repressed that bear sounds everytime he sings it. So now we've come to the realization that there's slavery in the cereal. Everytime you buy a box of Kellogg's or something you're giving more money to the Man so he can enslave more people and make more animals for satisfaction.

Yeah so that's one thing. On the good side, the negative balance is gone thank god, however seems like Germany is putting the ultimate death grip on my situation with the school. So they've cornered me into a complete and utter surrender. So Tina's put the hold on my transcripts and my registration meaning I can't send the transcript out to Greensboro and I can't register for next semester until this shit with Germany clears up. I've managed to get up with Ronnie a week ago, but it's taking them some time to get this check out to me and all of that so that's only complicating things. I need them to come on and move a little faster.

I had to drop American Novel class even though I know that thereoretically I cant, but I really didn't have a choice since I was already failing the class and it would've been far more devastating to keep it than trying to move it around. So I suppose that means I'll have go back and do the class again sometime around next semester, if I'm still here. We'll have to see. I know now that I have a few options in mind for this coming semester. If Ronnie sends the check by the third week in November, I'll have time to pay off the Greensboro stuff, pay off Tina, and get my transcripts and stuff in. If the check doesn't come in till after the third week, I'll have to pay off Tina and register for the Spring here at Pembroke and plan to make my move in the Fall of 2007, which wouldn't be a horrible thing but I'd have to go through and look at the English classes which transfer to Greensboro so that way I know in advance what does and does not work. If the check doesn't come in till REALLY late, I'm gonna have to work something out with the school so I can come back here in the Spring.

So yeah...I bought a new CD the other day and a few new games like Diddy-Press Play, Ultimate Marvel Alliance, Gears of War, and Midnight Club for the PSP though I waiting for Gears till Wednesday. And fopr the ultimate thought of the day: I'm considering cancelling this year's Fire and Ice Pageant.

The reason? well as of Thursday I was told that two more girls dropped out because they "aren't feeling it anymore" or whatever the heck that was supposed to be. I don't understand it and I don't get it. Why someone would continually come to practice every week practically since the week of September and then stop? doesn't make sense, but hey if they don't want to do it, I'm not gonna force them. But the problem is now I'm officially down to four contestants and I know they're not going anywhere. However I don't see the point in putting on all of the Ritz and the glamour just to do a show with four people. There's no point in having my parents come down here and selling all of these tickets and stuff if there's only four people and enough show for like an hour! So I'm gonna talk to CJ and Tanya and see what they suggest since I'm at the crucial part of the month where it'd be easy to reverse all of the plans and cancel the show without too many bad reprocutions.

We shall simply have to see.
