I liked how my Invocation turned out so I thought I'd post it here.

1 Tell me, Muse, a story to end all.

A story, hopefully not a bore at all.

A story of a man more famous than none at all.

With skin so pale, lighter than buttocks of I.

5 With hair so great, point and laugh old men do, no one can relate.

With a voice smoother than a donkey of the fringes of death.

Eyes more blue than the night sky times negative dye.

Hero of females, yet “friend zoned” always is.

Knower of all excluding logic, reason, common sense, French, math,

10 reading, science, and basic heterogeneous skills.

With facial hair manlier than a twelve year old girl

Talent so few, reduced to the line of offense.

Youthful still, laughs at jokes of own,

mother still picks garments to bestow upon her own.

15 Tamer of the horseless carriage, always give, never thanked.

Jealous of all, for no hockey he plays.

Sing to me, muse, for I need a fright,

a story of a man with no delight in sight.

A story where he conquered all in end,

20 glory and fame in future, yet still sleeps in single bed.

The Champion of Edina School of High.

a story, still, not as big as his thigh.

A story of a man simply known as:

Stad Number Two.

E=MC^2

For the last three years in my science class we have watched E=MC^2, a video all about Albert Einstein's famous equation. Every year we had to fill out the same yellow packet, with the same number of questions, while watching the stale, boring, and over the top acting. Not only that, but I have seen this video outside of school twice! Why? Why do teachers enjoy torturing us? Why couldn't we watch Bill Nye the Science Guy instead? Do the teachers not hear how we cheer and cheer when they announce we are going to watch an entertaining episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy, and do they not hear us cry and moan when we watch a long, boring, uninteresting video we have seen the last three years? And you know what really grind my gears? THE FACT THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT E=MC^2 EVEN MEANS! I HAVE SEEN THE VIDEO AT LEAST SIX TIMES AND I STILL DON'T GET IT! WHY WOULD TIME SLOW AND EVENTUALLY STOP AS YOU APPROACH THE SPEED OF LIGHT? SINCE WHEN ARE LIGHT AND TIME RELATED?

On a side note, Siddhartha, there is such a thing called time. Your example about how the river is everywhere at once doesn't prove a thing. In fact that whole long speech you gave at the end of the book to Govinda made no sense at all. Just because you use big words and run on sentences does not prove that you are smart.

Back on topic. After watching E=MC^2 for the sixth time I finally asked my science teacher what it means, why is it important, and when will I ever need to know this in every day life, she told me it was a theory.

...Are you kidding me...

I have spent about nine hours of my life watching a video about something that isn't even proven!

Why was the PLAN test such a pain?

Today sucked, to put it simply. It was because of the PLAN test. Why did we need to take this test? It started out really slow, write you name, school ID number, and address. Then we get asked all these stupid questions about what we like to do, and they are so vague that you really don't have any idea what to write, or are just so random that you have to wonder if the person who made these questions pulled paper out of a hat with different jobs written on them. "Would you like to be a tour guide?" No, I would like to make money in my lifetime. "Would you like to watch for forest fires?" No, I would want to have a job where I actually do something. After that long and tiring process, we finally start the actual test. Why weren't we ever told what was going to be on the test? It would of been helpful if I had some idea of what to look over, I mean, this is my future we're talking about. And why is this thing timed? If we are trying to prove what we know, then why are we being pressured to answer fifty questions in twenty five minutes? How long did it take Einstein to come up with E=MC^2? If it was under a month, then I'll be impressed. And why was the "Science" portion of the test really more like "Read a bunch of tables, graphs, and charts about useless information"? I thought the questions were going to be like "Why is the sky blue?" not "Read table 3, what happened to the tomato after the third day?"
