Oh look, stoopid people…

This week has been very dull. Very few stuff happened (if not nothing at all) and I still continue to be fascinated with my generation’s odd behavior (Oh no! He’s writing about society again!), but don’t worry, today I write of something else [(relief)].

Well, as I’m using this blog to criticize many stuff, let’s talk about my school again.
I don’t know if nature hates me, but the way it works surely does. No that our grades for the trimester have been posted, I noticed that not many people who chose sciences (I chose humanities), have easily passed their subjects. I think that about 8 (I don’t really know) out of 35 passed physics and chemistry. (Geez, ain’t those two a pain in the ass) Not to mention that math class wasn’t at its best. Oh yes, and here at humanities things were better (I flunked.One of the few that did, but what the fuck, I don’t care a shit for math). The thing is, many who are at sciences suffered a nasty confusion. In their fret to get away from subjects like history and Spanish (they still see that one anyway) they went into a different kind of hell, physics, chemistry and rough math. Ahh, math. What a bitch you are. What master of horror and doom you look to me. Some in sciences would’ve found it better at humanities. Does economics ring a bell? Administration? (Yes, perhaps the only reader of this blog is insulting me right now).

Chemistry and physics are maths in essence, and there can be no more horrible stuff. I know that math runs the world. I’m here to say why I hate it, not to blaster it in hopes of it disappearing it. That is utterly impossible. Math is a use for everyone, until certain point. Everyone needs, adding, subtraction, multiplying, division, potencies and even square roots, but equations? Functions? ALGEBRA? What the FUCK? This is only useful for those who are going to make a living out of it, but what about people like me? Writers, journalists, artists....Fuck math in the effing face. The only thing I like about the Spanish educational system is indeed the chance to choose between sciences and humanities. The last two years I passed physics by grace of the holy spirit, Muhammad or Quetzalcoatl...A miracle, a miracle in hell.

I don’t like math because I like to be creative and diverse without boundaries, I want a explosion of possibilities and thoughts, the experience of life and my human capabilities. For this, there are the arts, paint, music, writing, cinema.... But maths, maths are the total opposite. Plain and sometimes endless progressions of the same characters. Rules that only let you do something until certain point. There is no experience in math, no feeling or sensorial idea. Yes, math goes in different directions, but it always reaches an end, inevitably. Yes, everything goes according to it, but itself cannot be more than a logical system of nature that doesn’t evolve from it’s state of concept. In other words, you cannot experience math. Merely understand it.

Hmmm. Gives you a thought doesn’t it?

To end today I say something else: It didn’t rain today.
