Ok, I'm vaguely pissed. Technowitch went out for Cheer-leading this year. Last night she earned her second High School Letter for Cheering at basketball. She earned her first letter in the fall cheering at football. I will take nothing away from her. Cheering is hard work, and some of those girls aren't the easiest to get off the ground and fly.

This is more about the awarding of letters and me being bitter about my own High School experience. At the TWO high schools I went to in Two different states, you could only letter as an athlete (Football, Basketball, Track, and Wrestling). You could not get a letter in Band, Theater, Academic teams (Math, Science, and Debate). I'm not sure about all the girl's activity. I think you could letter in Girl's basketball, track, Cheerleader, and Drill Team. However, don't quote me on that.

 Our athletic teams had shitty years except for the Girl's basketball. They boy's got cream during the state tournaments, but they all got letters. I was on The Academic team, Band and Theater. We kicked ass at State Competitions. We came in first for One-Act plays; Wowed the judges at State Marching; And destroy academic team from school twice our sized. We got shit! One of the Schools refused to recognize us after we Won State Competition for Theater. This is even after the advising teachers asked if we could get letters for bring home competition ribbons for the school. Awards the school had NOT seen for over 10 years! The administration said, "Nope, letters are for Athletes only." Well, FUCK YOU!

And you wonder why academic achievement is going down the tubes in American? Simple, no one prizes intelligence in this country. Throw a football? Here have a 120 million dollar contract plus a $29 million dollar signing bonus: Joe Flacco. What! Have President that knows why the windows of an airplane don't open? Why! That's just crazy liberals trying to ruin this great country. Lord I hope the people of China, India, Japan, and whoever else values intelligence give us a good sound butt-fucking we deserve. Anything to get us off our collective idiot asses!
