That's how I felt in high school English. I hated having poetry shoved down my throat and being forced to write poetry.

As soon as I dropped English, I developed an appreciation for Virgil's Aeneid in my Latin class and began reading some other poetry. This is because, being an artform, poetry is something which shouldn't be force-fed and isn't something that you can squeeze out of someone.

And so now I enjoy poetry, but I do consider Latin poetry to be superior to English poetry. It's much more complex and interesting - there are so many intricacies.

I went to work saturday and got forced into single-handedly setting up a TV wall display. Over half a dozen LCD's and plasma ranging from 32''-52''. It took me like 8 hours but it looks damn sweet, but no so much as a thank you from management. That's working at Wal-Mart for ya.

Laces Out Dan!

Just got a fuckin 110 dollar ticket for not displaying my N on my car. I was driving like fuckin 5 minutes to the school to grab my basketball shoes..and I took my mom's car cause it was warm cause she just drove it..and I didnt even think about putting my N on her car cause it was so close...ends up I went through a road block..and I hate cops. So many of my friends have gone through roadblocks without their Ns and they say they forgot. I actually had a pretty valid excuse. God damn. 110 bucks..thats like a speeding ticket!

pardon me for being incredibly stupid but what exactly is an "n" in regards to vehicles?

In Canada...when you are a "new" driver. Which is what you get after your learners. You have to display an N on the back of your vehicle. Its just a little magnetic green square.
