Introduction

The original title of my blog was "15 Reasons Why I Love English Class." I figured whatever I lacked in writing, I could make up for in the "ass kissing" department. However, there was one minor problem: I couldn't think of 15 reasons. As a matter of fact, I couldn't even think of one.

Three hours and two joints later, I still had a blank page. While my original list stayed at zero, the number of reasons why I hate English class kept growing in my mind - hence the new subject for my blog. Hopefully, my English 1A colleagues will be able to relate to this blog.

So without further adieu, here's my list:

1. English is not my native language.
Most people find this one hard to believe. I don't have any traces of an accent and my vocabulary is quite substantial. But it's true. I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. Before I go on about my illustrious history, I need to answer the pressing question that is, without a doubt, bothering you at the moment. "Is it North or South Korea that's the Communist country?"

Hahaha... no.
When people tell me that they're American, you don't see me replying, "Native American or a descendant of one of the people who partook in the genocide of Native Americans?" Not so funny anymore, is it? Stuff is always funny until it's about ourselves. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to preach about philosophical matters nor am I an angry Asian venting hatred towards the rest of the world. I'm just a humble student going off on a tangent so that I'll be one step closer to fulfilling the 300-word-per-entry requirement. By the way, North Korea is the communist country.


Anyway, I've derailed off-topic long enough. It's time to enlighten everyone with my amazing life story. I lived in Korea for the majority of my life. It wasn't until I graduated from high school that I moved to the United States. I was accepted into the pre-dental program at the University of the Pacific, but I realized that was not my destiny when a vision from God told me that I was born to save the world and not just people's teeth. Actually, that's just a blasphemous way of saying I had a career change. Unfortunately, I still don't know what I want to do in life, but I do know what I don't want to do. Picking out last night's dinner from people's mouths is not something I want to do. Nor do I want to do anything English-related because I spent most of my life in Korean mode. Despite how fluent I may be in English by national standards, on a personal level, I feel far more secure when I'm speaking and writing in Korean. Nonetheless, there aren't enough Koreans in the United States to warrant our own automated language services when paying bills through the telephone so I'm stuck taking English classes. That's right. You heard it here first, folks. I'm taking English 1A so that I can pay my bills.

Interlude

Recently, a friend of mine quit playing World of Warcraft. For those of you who have been living in a cave for the past decade, World of Warcraft is one of the most popular online games at the moment.

Here's a post about it dedicated to him. I wrote it awhile back on my other blog.



Quitting

SIKES! I changed my mind 5 seconds after making this thread. SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!


Sorry, I just wanted to be part of the cool club since being an indecisive attention-seeking whore has always been my childhood aspiration. Although, I wouldn't mind settling for just whore. But I'm rambling off-topic.


However, before I continue this rant, I would like to make one thing clear: this is not a personal vendetta towards anyone as I've had friends pull the "I'm quitting" stunt as well.

The purpose of this thread is to help identify the cause of the fake quitting trend and explore ways to prevent this disease. With my guidance and help from this simple two-step program, you too can be as cool as me.

The Root of the Problem


For those of you who took sociology classes, you've probably heard of the Nature VS Environment argument. However, if you skip school, I'll give a brief summary of it. The Nature VS Environment argument questions whether people are conditioned by their environment or if people are born as who they are. I prefer the first scenario because then I have something else to blame for being less than perfect.




So what does this have to do with WoW? My point is that people aren't fully to blame for doing stupid stuff on WoW. The truth of the matter is that the game, itself, is the root of the problem. I
Don't believe me? Check these facts out:

• one of the first quests in WoW reward you with a razor; clearly a sign for things to come
• Check the various YouTube videos of people who get hacked in WoW
  

But don't worry! There's no need for drastic measures such as completely removing WoW from your life. There are alternative measures that enable you to enjoy the game without going emo, which brings us to the next section.

Fixing the Problem

If you're still reading this, you must be incredibly bored or just downright desperate. Quick, go cut yourself. I kid, I kid. The best and quickest way to undo the damage the Emo Waves have done to you is adopt the "Who Gives a Fuck" attitude. It's a useful tool in both WoW and in real life, especially when your parents want you to do some annoying chore or when you blow up your super godly +14382942 Staff of Ownage. No matter how pissed off you are, just play it off cool and be like "I don't give a fuck" then follow it up with the middle finger or something.

Disclaimer: I don't recommend the middle finger if your parents are Asian as they usually counter the "I don't give a fuck" with a "I'm-a beat your ass."

This act of teenage angst usually repels emoism and instead of turning into a sulky depressed loser, you become one angry bitter kid ready to crush some trolls.

Congratulations!
