Wednesday, 17 August 05 :: i don't care anymore

i'm so sick of trying to save the world from a bunch of people who just don't care. fine. the world is going to go to hell in a handbasket, this country is going to become a theocracy that is unfriendly to anyone but the white, upper class, christian men, and me, i'm just not going to care anymore. i will be ensconsed in academia, in those ivory towers where the real world just doesn't matter anymore.. and the rest of y'all, because you don't care, and because when a hard working activist approached you and asked you to care for about 3 minutes, because you couldn't be unselfish enough to get out of your own fucking head.. because the rest of y'all are uncaring lazy assholes, while i'm happily dancing with the academs, you will be riding to hell, in a handbasket.. a tiny little vinyl handbasket... tiny because the corporations who have bought our politicians don't have enough money to make it comfortable. yes. have fun. i'm done trying to care for the rest of y'all.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
