[QUOTE=YDload]This guy listens to "Frances the Mute" and loathes every minute of it. It's hilarious, especially if you've heard the album and like/dislike it.[/QUOTE]

Haha, that was great.

I have to take an ACT prep test today. gah.

ACT?

It's like 5 times easier than the SATs.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]This Pilotdrift cd that was posted is amazing.[/QUOTE]

Hell yes! I'm glad you liked it. I'm actually listening to it right now.

I have to register to take the ACT soon.

Hahaha, I'm listening to a japanese cover version of Bohemian Rhapsody, this is hilarious and genius at the same time

Amen. The ACT so stupidly easy.

[QUOTE=AndreTheHyena]Amen. The ACT so stupidly easy.[/QUOTE]

Yeah the ACT was money.

The ACT let me go to college for free. But then I dropped out anyway. :upset:

I'm afraid of becoming a fanboy :upset:

I've been listening to it nonstop.

Who are these guys, and do you have any more of their work?

It's not for everyone.

Word to that. I don't think a college degree is necessary for an individual who enjoys pursuing his own intellectual endeavors by reading nonstop, traveling, and just surrounding himself with people who know more than he does. I'm sure I'll go back to school someday, but for now I'm a ramblin' man.

Well college isn't really 'learning', all of it is just for the short term. No one really learns any thing unless they read outside of the class room anyway. In alot of ways, college 'eduaction' is a joke.

I think public education as a whole is a joke. I really don't think I learned anything in high school. I'd like to send my kids to private school, but I'd worry about their social development. It's kind of a lose-lose situation. It's all built around priming people into fitting neatly into automatonical niches, and it scares me.

My father is the smartest and most individualistic and well-read person I know, and he didn't go to college until he was over 30 and I had already been born, and even then he just got an agricultural degree. I like to use him as a shining example of self-education.

college to me is just a piece of paper that gets your resume' read ahead of those without. i know tons of people who went to the best colleges in the country and they are complete morons lacking common sense or a sense of humor. what's the point of going to college, well that's just to give yourself a shot in the arm, i learn more from going places and doing new things then i will ever learn from a classroom.

I like to think of college as a kind of learning help: It makes your education easier, that is if you want to be educated.

I like to think of college as a good excuse to not have a full-time job.

Me too.


I mean, do people actually think they're getting ready for a job when they go to college?


Because they're not.

I don't. But then I'm studying philosophy.

Yeah, my roommate is changing his major to philosophy.

I told him to find the best cave he can find and claim it as his own because good luck getting a job.

It's all about having a degree, not what it's in. ~repeats this to self~

As someone who has graduated University and is now working, I can safely say that in my daily work about 5% of the skills and knowledge I use come from my course content at uni. As people have said, getting a degree simply gives you a better chance of getting a job in your chosen field. I hope that I can continue to learn and maybe even one day find something I am passionate about outside of music.

My degree is going to be in Music & Popular Culture.

Hopefully I'll just sort of slide into that music journalist role.

What I've been told by business people I know through family is that a degree is a representation of some modicum of devotion. All it shows is that you have the willingness to stick by something, see it through to the end. Dunno if that's how all business folk see it.

Yeah, that's true.

You mean I could have been doing that degree in the Simpsons after all? :(

Learn how to talk god dammit.

I'm depressed as hell now. One of my freinds had 3 Libras on their 'now playing' thing on MSN, so I dug out Mer De Noms. I'd forgotten just how many bad memories I had from that album.

So now it's up to someone to cheer me up. I've entrusted the task to De La Soul.

That's right, good sir.
