What Grinds Your Gears? :)

Fair enough, but I meant who couldn't you mourn?

All I can say is, anyone who thinks mocking the death of someone famous or silencing others who only watched or listened to that person shouldn't say anything to silence anyone. With every celebrity, we often get a smile out of them; whether the beauty of music or their filmography these actors leave an impression on you. Sure, some may not be the greatest of human beings but we at least can respect the dead celebrities or simply offer our condolences before moving on. To anyone that says we can't, well too bad because they still meant a lot to us. That's ultimately how I feel in general about the dead, respect their influence or offer condolences, not poke fun at how how we feel about them.

Common Core in education is my gear grinder, enough said. Just a lousy excuse of cramming in material not required for how we move on in life. Off the drome, I have mentioned this to a few of you and my friends, but why do we need such things that we don't care for. The only things to me that matter are technology as it's gaining further usage, health to take care of ourselves, a second language in addition to further English writing, mathematics for finances and whatever we want to do as a career.

"Duh, let's just give them history, science and anything else that would be of help!" If I were to be a politic, something in the science field, or a teacher then I understand I would need to take these courses. However, if my career were say to be an athlete, how would these help exactly? It just drags everything down outside a college degree.
