Daily Critique

I'm back finally.  Here's another loser thing I do each day.  I come up with a social critique each day that does not necessarily have to change society, but make the observations necessary for progress.  As you can tell from February, these are usually angry speeches criticizing post-modern romance.  Also, my English is improving (Jajaja, for those of you who get it).

To continue my rants, I want to share a short excerpt from the film (My life is not a book.  It's more of a film) known as life.

Sputnik : Estoy enojado.  ¿Por qué?  Pour quoi?  Why does life beg me to rise and command me to fall?

Angles : Err... [shifts uneasily in seat while reaching for water bottle]

Sputnik: There are opportunities... and not the kind you're thinking of. [tries to imply something to Angles, but fails]

Angles: Okay.  I have no idea what the heck you're talking about.

Sputnik: Я–очень одинокий!  Я–свободен!  I'm lonely!  There.  I said it.

Angles: What?  Are you trying to "break" me again ?

Sputnik: No.  I'm saying that I'm tired of dangling opportunities [meaning chances to ask the unnamed girl out].

Angles: Well take those opportunities.

Sputnik: Yeah, yeah.  Carpe diem and whatnot... [Takes Angles' water bottle, but returns it after flipping it thrice]  You don't know the consequences of "opportunity".

Sounds rather pointless without proper context, but this dialogue represents an internal struggle within each member of Poly society.  While Poly should be known for offering more opportunities, in many cases outside of academics, we are depriving each individual of them with our isolation.  Each individual at Poly has become beyond self-aware in isolation.  It becomes the obsessive self-consciousness that bites away at the heart.  Why can't we be like public schools?  Asking someone out is not the bureaucratic system it is at Poly.  There should not exist the model "Become friends for 6 months, ask out, date for 2 weeks, stop because of 'the value of preexisting friendship'".  Bullshit.
