greybeta: (D2-Sempai)
What makes D2 curl into a ball
And cry like a spanked girl?
Poetry, poetry, the horror, the horror,
Handcuffed sex does not bore her.
At this point you may wonder why
D2 is talking randomly about girls and kinky sex.
Well, first off, he's a guy!
Secondly, BDSM be a Baptist hex!
What is forbidden entrances us
Like watching a child getting run over by a bus.
(No sex before marriage
Will avoid any miscarriage.)
D2 always wondered why feminists wrote poems
Until he realized the power of words.
Nobody reads pompoous academic tomes,
But people do like reading about turds.
The Vagina Monologues made D2 feel odd
As many girls screamed cunt
Like they screamed "Oh, oh, oooooh, God!"
When someone's penis slammed their rump.

Anyways,
D2 must explain why he hates rhyming lines,
Says,
D2 as hands and feet of a girl he binds.
Way back when he was a senior in high school,
He thought taking senior AP English would be cool.
So he naively took AP Literary Analysis with Mrs. Kropp,
Which he should have been smart enough to drop.
But he wanted to be valedictorian so bad,
And wanted to make his parents glad,
And avoid making his elder sister mad,
So he went to that class like a foolish lad.
Lucky Andy and Random Jameson sat to his right,
While D2's scheming roommate sat to his left.
They would all learn that poetry was a blight
Upon those whose command of English was not deft.
On the very first day,
the very first day mind you,
D2 walked in expecting Mrs. Kropp to say,
Nice to meet you all and good day!
Instead, D2 knew this class blew,
When Mrs. Kropp assigned a timed writing (that was so gay)!
(Political correctness is overrated,
Especially if you are outdated.)

For Mrs. Kropp, D2 wrote two essays a week,
as she tried to get D2 to his writing peak.
The meaning of the author he did seek,
Yet the author's meaning always eluded your favorite geek.
Inevitably, Mrs. Kropp always complained,
That D2 needed to write much, much more.
For Mrs. Kropp had to be pained
To see D2 unaware of his powerful writing core.
[Sheesh, I may be facetious to say she was a whore,
But these days, I am strenuously strained,
Whenever I even think of poetry (what an eyesore!).]
Simile, metaphor, alliteration, assonance,
Synodoche, metonymy, onomopeia, consonance,
The jargon of literary analysis,
Makes D2 in his pants piss.

You may have heard of "The Convergence of the Twain",
A poem about the Titanic's sinking.
Poetry would become D2's bastardly bane,
Since it caused him mindbending thinking.
Throbbing with headache the first time he analyzed it,
He turned in that timed writing full of bullsh*t.
Mrs. Kropp drew a beautiful sunset,
To let D2 know he was full of pretty sh*t.
She made the entire class write their analysis again,
And again,
And again,
AND AGAIN!!!
Yes, D2 had to write about the same stupid thing,
Not once, not twice, not thrice,
but until D2 was not so nice.
Indeed, out a window Mrs. Kropp he wanted to fling.
(Defenestration is such an unusual occurence,
That it would be great deterrence,
Against those like Mrs. Kropp the slavedriver,
Which is what D2 truly thought of her.)

Shakespeare is supposed to be an English master,
But in Mrs. Kropp he provided D2 only disaster.
Hamlet, his longest work, we had to read,
Hamlet's uncle did the dirty deed.
Brevity is the soul of wit,
Yet D2 thought Shakespeare was a twit.
It wasn't because Shakespeare sucked,
It was just that D2 got f*cked,
When Mrs. Kropp gave them a quote test.
She didn't warn D2 that he would need no rest
If he wanted to pass that piece of crap.
Yes, yes, Mrs. Kropp knew she had a bad rap.
(Five essays in five days over a Danish prince,
Would make anyone wince.)
And then there were the Shakespearan sonnets,
Which were sort of mundane, to be quite honest.
D2 had to go over Sonnet 129,
In which Shakespeare wrote about S-E-X sublime.
Then D2 knew what preoccupied everybody over thirty.
They all eat, drink, dream, and think dirty.
(D2 wonders if this is because many
Of them aren't getting any.)

Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment punished D2
As Christ figures D2 would come to rue.
There a Christ figure, here a Christ figure,
Even a prostitiute can be Christ figure.
(Go figure!)
Konrad's Heart of Darkness ripped D2's heart apart,
Selling his soul as well at S-Mart.
(Army of Darkness reference, ain't I smart?)
Ibsen's A Doll House had an alternate ending,
That might have been more heartrending.
Flaubert's Madame Bovary,
Had more than one promiscious ovary.
Camus's The Stranger resonated with D2
Because it struck the pessimist as true.
Hesse's Siddhartha was the favorite of D2
For it made D2 think about what he would do.

Two other "great" writers D2 did analyze
Though those that call them "great" are full of lies.
The first was some guy named John Keats
Whose famous odes are considered literary feats.
D2 had to modify one,
So he chose "Ode on a Grecian Urn."
D2 wrote "Ode on a Fortune Cookie"
A sad poem about how he wasn't getting any nookie.
The second guy was worse than the first,
Even if D2 is not sure who is the worst.
D2 thinks his name was John Donne,
He was not a lot fun.
Donne would write about the sun.
And it would be a sex pun.
It could be about a gun
or how someone liked to run,
or why a baker makes a bun.
You could say it was all about sex and be Donne.
(Yeah, that guy wrote about sex a ton.)

If D2 did not have to read all this stuff for a grade,
He would not have read it at all, I am afraid.
Now D2 is thankful that Mrs. Kropp made
Him study about getting laid.
It's made him understand the human condition better,
So he isn't confined by a faith's fetter.
(You know, Magic: The Gathering improves your vocabulary
To the point where you're looking up "fetter" in the dictionary.)
Anime and its prevalent sexual themes,
Can be understood at its seams.
Video games understand the principle that sex sells,
That's why Rated M games come with warning bells.
Blogging about the wildest sex stories you possess,
Will turn you into an instant LJ celebrity success.
(Hey, I have read those stories Ferrett-sensei.
Yet,
I bet,
Mrs. Ferrett is as amused as the rest of your rambunctious readers, I dare say.)

Aesop once wrote "We often despise what is most useful to us."
That is why D2 absolutely hates poetry.
(This is conclusively the end of the story.
Now go watch a child get run over by a bus.)

New default icon
I had this awesome brain storm for my LJ. I needed an icon with a grey Greek "beta" letter on it, with a half white, half black background. The icon master [livejournal.com profile] wolflady26 nailed it. It even has the yin yang thing going with "Grey" and "Beta." It's a perfect icon for me. Thanks, Wolf Lady!

As part of the law of equivalent exchange, I told the Wolf Lady she could me ask any question and I would answer as honestly as I could. I got the following prompt:
How about - a 500 word essay (no more, no less!) on the moment that has had the biggest influence on your life so far. :)

I hate a wolf's smile. It has that "You will do what I say or your heart will know how sharp my teeth are. Seeing as how I am a mere Greek letter, I suppose I will do my best to comply with the Wolf Lady's request. Tune in tomorrow morning.

Careless Rogue
So, the rogue, i.e. anime Mike is sitting in the backseat of my car. As he's exiting, he feels something catch on his pants leg. Instead of turning around to see what it is, he jumps out of my car.

SNAP!

The rogue just carelessly snapped off the handle to manually lower and raise the right backseat window on my beautiful dark blue Honda Accord (which has neither power locks nor power windows). The one I got in 2002 from my parents for graduating valedictorian. The rogue will pay dearly for his treachery. Unfortunately, the Scriptures dictate that my punishment actually has to improve him somehow. The Scriptures can be so limiting sometimes. I mean, if it were me, I'd snap his leg in half to teach the rogue a lesson. I don't care if he's my friend, he needs to learn not to break MY stuff.

Lesson: When you feel something tug at your pants leg, check it out before you snap off your friend's window handle.

What's the deal with language composition?
So earlier this morning I was chatting on AIM with [livejournal.com profile] fourstrifes about language composition. She was complaining how much it stucked because she couldn't understand why she should state the obvious in her junior AP English class. Well, the problem was the she was trying to get at the author's meaning, but the wrong kind of meaning. In language composition, you aren't trying to get at what the author is saying. You are actually analyzing how and why the author uses the words the way he or she does. I understood the theory, but I was not very good at the application. I got a four on the AP Language Composition test though, so I got my credit and that's all that counts.

So I've been banned from a sheepie's journal
So this sheepie, [livejournal.com profile] bohemeg, banned me from her commenting on her journal. LMAO. Sheepies need to grow thicker skin. Saying "I am obsessed with perfection in words." and then proceeding to use inkorrect grammer is JUST ASKING TO BE CALLED OUT ON. Sorry, but I don't tolerate dumbery from an "English" major. Trying to pwn me with sarcasm just means I will fire back with even more biting sarcasm, and you will lose that battle everytime (because I have more hate than most people have in their entire lifetime).

Just to annoy her further, I'll keep her on my friends list to remind me of the type of students I will want to strangle: "sheepies". From now on, I'll call all stupid students "sheepies". "Stupid sheepies" would then become "stupid stupid students." Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

It's not like she's reading this right now. I would say this to her face, but that's hard to do when she's banned me from commenting on her journal.

If you ban me for "being a jerk", I might as well act like one.

(Yes, I am being facetious)

Hey, Jacob-kohai, please tell your friend Meag she needs to take things with a grain of salt on the Internet. Otherwise, she's going to eventually pop a blood vessel in anger some day...

Not that I would mind that happening...

(No, I was not being facetious just then)

Verse of the Day
"For it is by grace you have been saved through faith--and that not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."
~Ephesians 2:8

Convos of the Day
Babysitting spawns of Satan, rules of Magic, and I bet I can make you say black )

Quote of the Day
Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip, asked on his blog who would win in a fight between Santa Claus and jesus Christ. He shared the following response from Guy:
"And as for Santa and Jesus, the answer is Jesus. Because he can walk on water he could drag Santa to the middle of a lake and hold him under while he stayed pleasantly dry. Now if you were to include the nine reindeer and twelve apostles then the fight might get more interesting."
~Guy

Link of the Day
What is Namibia?. Have you ever wanted to read the travails of a fledgeling Peace Corps newbie? Meet Brock Blackburn, a computer science graduate from Tulsa and friend of D2. He was one of the people I looked up to in the BSU, as he made no bones about being himself. He was a big fan of Jeapordy, thus the title of his blog. He's an interesting guy with a lot to say about his situation. So if you have an interest in Africa and would like a well written firsthand account of a Peace Corps volunteer helping establish a school in Africa, this is a blog that D2 personally recommends.

Sports Report
That kick in the Cotton Bowl, that was the ugliest kick ever to win a football game.

They fixed the BCS. I'm serious. I am impressed by this leveling of the playing field. I guess when Congress threatens action, things get done (unless it pertains to the war on terrorism).

The yearly NFL head coach carousel is getting warmed up...

Before Sex and the City
There was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

But it's a well known fact that gentlemen marry brunettes.

I wonder where that leaves the redheads and black haired women.

It does not follow
Non Sequitur pimps Bill O'Reilly.

By the way, Non Sequitur does not get enough recognition for its brilliance. This is by far D2's favorite comic strip in the newspaper.

Curiosity question
Can a year have a New Year's Eve and a New Year's Day?
