An Idealist's Downward Spiral...into cynicism

I have a lot to do today and not a lot of time. I just finished one assignment and, hence, am taking a little break before beginning the other MF.

The last couple of days have been weird, but filled with interesting conversations. I will share some thoughts that have popped into my head that i can quickly recall:

Used textbooks do not have GST. This is weird. Why should i pay taxes because the publisher decided to come out with a new edition to make more money. This thought is in response to Lisa's previous blog on taxes on tampons. I think this is weirder to be honest.

I was thoroughly ashamed to be a white anglophone under the age of 40 on the metro last night. The crudest, most offensive and ignorant group of teenagers got on the metro and the stuff they were discussing made me sick. White trash is infinitely worse than any minority.

I dreamt that i was in a Harry Potter video game. Are there Harry Potter videogames? I was looking for the items needed to confront Voldemort, but somehow the author of the series was in the game - but it was a man! I know damn well J.K. Rowling is a woman. There was also a weird Watership Down-like adventure precluding this, but it was with bears not rabbits. I also performed some sort of Aerosmith song on swinging ropes over a river. I think i am going to take a blanket off my bed. I have these odd dream sequences whenever i am overheating and i know this particular only lasted about 10 minutes of real time. I was very perplexed upon waking up.

Chocolate cake should not be eaten for both breakfast and lunch. At least, not by my who was thoroughly ill (as i feeling horrible) all yesterday and this morning because my body was overdosing on the empty calories. Maybe that the chocolate cake had been left out all night without being either saran-wrapped or refrigerated also contributed. I do not know.
