So i'm back once again...i realised i haven't posted here in quite a long time, so i figured it'd be best if i do.

Christmas is approaching quickly, and it's the time of year where everything gets really hectic and people start rushing around the place like headless chickens out buying presents for family and friends or themselves. It's been a strange experience lately...my home town has gone from it's usual emptiness to this mass explosion of people everywhere, shopping, rushing, pushing you out of their way because they're on their way to a shop to get that one gift they're scared someone else will buy about 30 seconds before they get to it, and thus, if i got in their way, i may be the cause of someone being unhappy this Christmas. It's a strange thought...but i think we're all in a similar mind set.

The internet social networking site i mentioned last month (Bebo) ...the battle is still continuing to have this shut down or something, personally i feel that this kind of behaviour from a school principal is slightly out of line. It's like an invasion of privacy and human rights, we should all have our rights to have a page online, to say what ever we like without a SCHOOL principal telling us what to do, what to write, what to say, how to act, how to dress, what pictures to have online, what music to like, what relationships to have, what friends to have. It's maybe a bit extreme...but there is some megalomanical behaviour going on in this persons mind. Bebo is merely a social networking site...a place for friends to connect, talk, share music, pictures, comments, thoughts. The latter is what i think this certain person cannot stand...thought...modern thought is never something this person has been a fan of and i think that any modern thought he or she experiences, possibly even concerning themselves is too much to handle for them....the way the child views the principal is something he or she cannot handle.

Maybe i'm rambling a bit, but we'll see what comes of this whole 'battle to have bebo shut down' ...i think it's stupid and a delusion of their own power that makes them think they can control pupils outside of school.
