One Long Year

Well, it's been a long year. Ever since my first post I've loved blogging. I had my doubts before, but they've all been erased.
Today marks the one year anniversary of The Student's Opinion. It' s been a long road, and those who have been following from the start (and kind enough to comment), you've witnessed my wit and humour, my life evolving as I got a job, had family troubles, sparked chatroom and forum-wide conflicts, and made profound statements that should be chronicled in some sort of large bound book called "The Annals of Wisdom".
With this news, I am also sad to announce that this will be the last post (despite what I said before) for The Student's Opinion. It's been a long year, it's been a good year. Now that I feel more confident about blogging, I've decided to move full time to my other blog on Vox, 127.0.0.1, which I was previously planning to only post technical stories on.
I'm glad that you (the reader) could enjoy my writing, and as I said, I love blogging, so I'll continue to update as regular as I have been on Vox, so I hope you'll continue to enjoy it.

Over the past week, I've collected a few memorable quotes from some of my favourite singers. These represent views that I share.

MC Lars - Generic Crunk Rap
This popular subgenre is brought to you by materialism.
We'd like to thank Bentley, Aliz© champagne, and Sean
Jean clothing. We'd like to thank the record industry for
Marketing hip-hop stereotypes to 12 year olds and a pop
Culture that unquestioningly consumes vapid,
Superficial entertainment.

MC Lars - Hot Topic is not Punk Rock
Hot Topic is a contrived identification with youth subcultures to manufacture an anti-authoritarian identity and make millions.

Less than Jake - Rest of my life
If you won't forgive me
The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life...

Less Than Jake - Overrated (Everything is)
Everybody's so afraid to be different
Please excuse me now if I don't get it

I think sex is overrated
So is always getting wasted
Designer drugs and dead end jobs
And classic rock is so outdated
I'm so sick of therapy
And all the things it's done to me
How can I be satisfied?
When everything is overrated

NOFX - The Irrationality of rationality
The guilty don't feel guilty, they learn not to.

Alden Nowland
“The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise”

Pennywise - Fuck Authority
Fuck Authority

Dropkick Murphys - Barroom Hero
Face down in the gutter won't admit defeat though his clothes are soiled and black

Dropkick Murphys - Warrior's Code
You're the fighter you've got the fire
The spirit of a warrior, the champion's heart
You fight for your life because the fighter never quits
You make the most of the hand you're dealt
Because the quitter never wins

Dropkick Murphys - Your Spirit's Alive
We are the ones who will never be broken
We are the ones who survive
This is the sound that brings us together
You are the one by our side

And through it all, and through it all, the spirit's alive
And through it all, your spirit's alive

Dropkick Murphys - Last Letter Home
If I lead will you follow?
Will you follow if I lead?

Depending on people sucks, but we need friends and people to depend on. Being wholly independent for the reason of being not dependent on someone else is as stupid as not loving someone for fear of getting hurt.

The ability to forgive a wise man makes.

Everything we say is a puzzle



Have a good holidays, Merry Christmas.
For the very, very last time on Blogger;
Adios.
