Answer to the elanor and park questions
Well, I think because of who Elanor and Park's parents are, I think the outlook on their relationship is not so great. I already know that they break up, because its the first page of the book, but I think if they had better lives at home, their relationship would be WAY better. To answer the second question, I think love is... A WASTE OF TIME!!! Unless its like you love your pet fish, or your parents... I don't get it. Waking up and realizing you're still in love, and have been that way for much too much time. It distracts you from fun stuff, and leaves you very unhappy. You might disagree, and thats okay, but this is my opinion. I just think that falling in love will ultimately leave you two options; break up or keep liking them. Whats the fun of that?? Anyways, BYE EVERYBODY AND GO SAY HI TO THE FISH YOU LOVE SO MUCH. I know that doesn't make much sense. Now.... What is love? Something that will make you feeel odd, confused, and happy over the dumbest things, like if the person you like turns around and smiles at you. You know what I mean? And you're all in knots over that one stupid smile. Maybe you realize that they like someone else... and they like them back. So much for that one dumb smile. You thought you had everything when they smiled at you. You felt on top of the world. Not so. Then of course, there is always that one relationship that doesn't blow up in your face. But still, I THINK YOU SHOULD AVOID IT.

Coltan stuff
So in my latest technology rant, I talked about coltan, and then my mom emailed me a link to this whole article about coltan so I will go into depth a bit. Coltan is dull black (it kind of looks like rabbit poo) . Men, women and children are forced to mine it at gunpoint, and are treated horribly. In coltan mines the child labour rate has increased dramatically, and it's (OBVIOUSLY) unethical. And here is the link for you to read: please do... http://cbc.sh/ihcx1Oc yep here it is READ IT
Link and video hopefully
Well I'm gonna try and post a video so I should do that and here is a link:www.cbc.ca/strombo/alt-news/weird-cat-sushi-rolls.html I thought you all should see something really weird. And if you think I'm a crazy cat lady, my mom showed it to me.

Utter and complete randomness
What can I say... Hum. I really don't know. Lemme see if I can insert a picture. Nope, don't think I can. Never mind. You don't have to read this. Stop if you like. GOODBYE WORLD TIL I BLOG AGAIN.
More technology ranting...
Also, to add to my really long previous rant, all electronic devices have coltan which is heat resistant so your cellphone doesn't say, explode into flames in your pocket. Coltan is mined from either Australia or Africa generally. But often, it is unethically sourced and mined. As in, often phone brands will have child labour used to mine the coltan or underpay or not pay at all, their employees. Unfortunatly, not a lot of people know about this, so no one has really raised their voice to stop this. Except for one guy... but I forgot his name. I guess tthat will be its own post... But anyways, it would be really good if people went and asked the companies if the coltan they use is ethically sourced or not. SO YEAH.

technology rant
Well, this might not be just ranting, but I still need to figure out how to put in videos because I think my computer can't handle that... so here goes:
I think that technology and communicating with it is good... and bad. Yes, it can isolate us, but it has also helped us in many ways and opened up new opurtuneties that without technology like today, we couldn't put to use. But I think its sad when I'm with a friend and they start babbling about they're stats on I don't know... instagram let's say. Or when I get texts from my phone network telling me about some new app you can install, and I realize I'd been looking forward to a text from a friend. But its also handy like Skype, to talk with someone who is really far away. But again, maybe you're to lazy to walk down the street to talk to them. So, I think that technology today is great in many ways, but it depends on how we use them.
Oh yeah... the creators of all these cool apps and stuff like that. They're great too, but sometimes they take it a little to far. I mean, as technology evolves and completely changes itself, how to we get to the information on the old devices? I think, we should continue to change, but also have access to old and important information on old hard drives and things we just leave... Now to Apple.
Yes its great, that technology is changing and getting super user friendly, but creating a new iPhone or iPod or things like that really often just to get people to have to update their software, so they can buy the latest iPhone, is just dumb. The first iPod touch is really not that old, so I don't get why people always giggle when they see it. "That's soooo old!" Nope, its not. I think its just greedy to do that. So... maybe I should stop ranting because I'm hungry.
