Despite being late and not posting for a month I still am capable of thought. To prove that I'd point out a few important ideas spawned by the infamous film.
Instead of discussing the details of the plot all over again, I'd rather scrutinize the final moments. Yesterday was one of those rare days on which I happened to be watching TV. I'm not sure of the channel but I looked up the film I had watched. It was called "Stranger than Fiction" and it presented a rather curious problem. To summarise the plot, it is about a writer trying to finish her book about an especially insignificant man, Harold Crick. For no apparent reason, such a person exists and actually lives through everything the writer typed. This brings about a moral dilemma, should the writer finish the book by killing the protagonist and by that create a masterpiece, or write a mediocre happy end as to save the man's life.
The idea, which i found worth pondering, is too of the ending. As we all now, the finale was one of failure, the boys carted off by the police. As I am still human and suffer from all the side-effects of being attached to the protagonist, I found myself wishing for the boys to make it. On the other hand there is common sense explaining that Rass and others are common criminals nothing else. The emotional and involved side of me is crying for him to be released to live a happy life with his new-found woman. Naturally he would go back to school and eventually become a doctor. Then again, who would believe such a conclusion? It too would be mediocre if not poor, art and intelligence lost for a piece of petty hope. On the other hand it is not a bit more moral to create a character of immense appeal to the audience just to make him miserable. What could one do as a writer, the twin evils of human nature make an intelligent yet emotionally involving piece almost impossible to produce.

Hey guys, I'm special!
I'm rather surprised that as soon as the results were announced everybody started making up excuses. Is it truly not possible that we actually are satisfied? The notion of students agreeing with school in general or the dreaded perioodõpe in particular, seems so alien that our consciousness simply rejects it. We start searching for actual excuses such as skipping school often or simply having had lunch. The latter is especially dubious as if I am not mistaken, we had this survey during the 7th lesson.
It is rather difficult to make general statements as the data is apparently absent from our fancy new website. Still, I'd like to use this page to make a little statement of my own. I actually am satisfied with the system. If one would take the wonderworld of orkut as an example then everything wrong has something to do with the system. Someone will probably even blame the late arrival of trains to The Hague on perioodõpe. Some teachers enjoy being a pain in one's side regardless of the system. The schedule was messed up in the old days as well. Oh, and what do you know, being absent for long periods of time such as two weeks still messed up your grades, only in all the subjects. Let's no forget that the system is a foreign one and probably devised by a joint committee of Jews, neo-Nazis, communists, Illuminati and the very same aliens who went on a mind-controlling spree in the sixties. Simply put, school is without doubt a little messed up but let's not blame something for everything just because it is new.
That being said, the genuinely nice aspects of balancing a schedule as in having less lessons on the periods leading up to the exams, having intensive studying periods instead of long arduous process consisting of two lessons a week or simply the lovely aspect of not having to attend the not-so-fine lessons every week; are rather enjoyable. Besides, it even feels better when one only has seven weeks to count down instead of more. Even the dreaded idea of having a test every week seems a little less intimidating when taken in perspective. Though the tests will probably be grouped closer together, the material will be as well. This is where the questions comes in, if we take in roughly the same amount of information simply divided on a different timescale, would we rather have the tests on something we learned in the course of last week or enjoy the benefits or having a test on something learned a month ago. Besides, we only have about 8 subjects as opposed to double that number. That naturally means that the number of subjects we can have tests on immediately drops by half. That too is something I cannot object.
The idea of us having a partial perioodõpe and that being the reason behind all our problems is also a little curious of an idea. The only actual part we are apparently missing is the final week as an examination-only week, the idea of which I personally object. Though that will probably be discussed in another post sometime in the future, I'd simply like to point out the obvious. Having a few tests on material studied in the course of a single week in more or less of a continuous stream is a little better. The other option would demand digging up stuff from day one and still remember everything. This is not to mention the extra strain of such a week. Another curious aspect would be the attitude of some. Pointing fingers at a certain someone and a certain post on a light blue website, I'd claim that the opponents of the system are trying to play on both sides of the field at the same time. A person complains about the new system being harsh on absentees and making the last week of the term stressful and then in the very same advocates having all the important tests in the course of a single week. If that's not conflicting then what is? Once more, let's not oppose something just for the hell of it. And if we do, let's try not to contradict ourselves, shall we?
As a final note, let me declare that life would be so much nicer, if we would simply consider the merits of something for its own worth. Just because Anu-demon is promoting it does not mean something to be utterly rotten and bad. Furthermore, don't be afraid to admit that you were wrong. Simply because the original statements were made with limited information (oh, how typical), does not mean that they still have to be defended. I, myself was a vocal critic of this perioodõpe, when it was first mentioned. Now, however, After having experienced it for a year, I am not afraid to stand up and admit that I was wrong in the first place.

Political partisanship anyone?
While watching TV, something I rarely do, I spotted something odd. The piece itself was called The American President and is of no particular artistic value. However the political or moral values caught my attention. Not the part concerned with bombing Syria nor anything with the French. The stances on environmentalism and gun control stood out.
Though the plot revolved around the feasibility of a First Girlfriend as opposed to serious issues, the stance on those was remarkably familiar. Practically every film brought to us from Ameerikamaa, which even remotely mention the subject, has the same point of view. Global warming not only exists but can be stopped by simply using less gas. In addition to that, gun control is the perfect way to make crime obsolete. The only thing in the way preventing us all to live in a global village called happiness is a strange cabal consisting of pork-barreling republican senators on the pay-roll of various lobby groups. That's it, no sensible character appearing human at least in some part, fights against these ideas.
Now the problem here is not whether the points made are valid or not, I am trying to highlight the political bias behind it. The naturally liberal and free-spirited folks at Hollywood cannot grasp the possibility of mentioning any opposite arguments for a debate. We occasionally like to presume that we have no problems understandig American culture or attitudes, simply because we have seen so much. We are stunned by those who claim Jesus created everything and abortion should be banned on all occasions, those folks appear to be on the fringe. Actually it is not the case. We simply haven't seen any. Though I rather not call the media communists, there is a strong bias present.

Vaata aknast välja
Ma ei mõista. Nii vähe kui meil seda tõelist suve siin ongi ja me magame selle lihtsalt maha. Igaühele ei pea meeldima kaheksast kaheksani päikesepõletuse püüdmine, kuid veidi päikest poleks ju ometi liig. Vihma, pilvi ja muid vabandusi leidub ju veel augustis, aga nädalat ilma ühegi pilveraasuta ehk mitte. Paluks mitte olla pidurid.

I've been thinking
Paavo ütles kunagi, et meie mõttemaailm on talle võõras. Ta ütles, et meil polevat seda mässumeelsust ega soovi ega soovi väikeseks stick it to the Maniks. Milleig pärast on see mõttekild kuskile sügavalt sisse jäänud ja ma olen hiljem sellele korduvalt oma mõttejõudu koondanud. Mis kõige hämmastavam on, Paavol oli tuliõigus.
Meie rahulikus ei tule sissesöödud kemikaalidest või ropust tarbimisühiskonnast. Lihtsalt pole vajadust süsteemiga sõtta minna. Miks? Meie olemegi süsteem. Meist saab see vana kaardivägi, keda järgmine põlvkond kõigest hingest kiruma hakkab. Me ei lärma, sest sõja kuulutamine praeguse elukorralduse vastu tähendaks sõda iseendaga. Väikeste mööndustega oleme praeguse elukorraldusega rahul.
Miks jumala pärast ma üldse nii arvan? Kahel lihtsal põhjusel.
Esiteks enne meid tulid suured lammutajad, kes juba eksisteeriva olukorra pea peale pöörasid. Enne meid oli tühimik. Me oleme uue tekkinud süsteemi lapsed ja meie usul pole piire. Kas süsteem on meie nägu või meie süsteemi nägu, omab minimaalsest tähendust. Pigem on oluline harjumine olukorraga ning lausa rahulolu. Inimesed, kel kõht täis katus pea kohal ja tulevik silme ees, ei jookse leegitsevate tõrvikutega ja hangude märatsedes ringi. Lihtsalt pole põhjust. Kui siis vaid äärmise igavuse peletamiseks, kuid ka see meelelahutus kipub ära tüütama.
Teine lihtne põhjus on ühiskonna tsüklilisus. Igale lõhkujate põlvkonnale järgneb ehitajate põlvkond. Igale reaktsioonile järgneb ja kõik muud uhked väljendid. Elu lihtsalt käib nii. Kuna enne meid tulid isikud, kel hinges põles hele leek ja selge eesmärk maailma muuta seisis silme ees, siis meie oleme paratamatult stabiilsuse poole pürgijad. Elu lihtsalt käib sedaviisi. Meie elu saabki olema süsteem.
See kõik tuleviku kohta lubatu kehtib eeldusel, et üldpoliiitiline ja majanduslik olukord hetkega kardinaalselt ei muutu. Ehk see idee ei kindlusta ida sõpruse või lõuna põgenike vastu.
I think this might qualify as an epiphany.

The decision
I'd vouch for Aksel.
I came upon this decision after a thorough review of our current blogosphere. I noticed that everybody else the deep analytical posts about current issues, the higly articulate language and simply the number of posts. There never was such an intellectually prominent blogger as dear Mr. Erik.

Highway Robbery
Firstly, I'd like to state my ultimate disgust for the phone companies for pulling of all these stunts. Because of an episode of "Pealtnägija", I managed to catch a glimpse of, this post has sprung out of my glorious mind and onto my blog.
Asking money for services not provides is called fraud. Our laws state that up to three years in prison are granted for people committing fraud although companies can only suffer from a fine. Having said that, I would further distress how disappointed I am with this. I should not be charged for services with I have neither ordered nor received. It makes as much sense as your local supermarket charging you for yogurt, if you milk happens to go bad. To be perfectly honest, it
puzzles me, why should they do it anyway. Though I too saw the figures explaining how a phone can blast a little less than 200 000 EEK of a hole in one's wallet, how many people actually pay these bills? Not only are these cases rare but what's more, they also help to build up massive amounts of negative publicity. Nevertheless, everybody seems to be content with sitting on their hands and waiting for some miracle to happen. As a result we, the ordinary folks, have to be increasingly vary of these deceitful companies, hence we are less inclined to look further into various new services provided. Not only leaves this course of actions the consumers dissatisfied but it also is bad for business in general. Thus, I am left puzzling on the motivations of keeping this circus going.

Primaries are stupid
Why? Because they pit candidates mostly on person appeal not merits or policies. The major issues in the democrat campaign have been whether Obama really can understand poor gun-loving folks and whether Hillary is actually a machine. The republican issues, if one still remembers them were quite a lot about how god created earth and how religious one is. This amounts to the idea of us having elections and the main debate would be whether Edgar's eyebrows are pointy enough. There are absolutely no discussions about policy whatsoever. Are the candidates really so similar or the Americans so dumb for them not to realise that? You can count this as another reason why I'm glad I live in Estonia.

You infidels
It seems the muslims are once more expressing their utter disgust and resenment towards us. And this time, it does not even have anything to do with insolent cartoons and whether it is moral for us to break Islamic laws and ignore their customs.
Apparently His Holiness, Benedict XVI, the current pope residing in Rome, Italy, has insulted the muslims by baptising a muslim. And no, not tule ja mõõgaga. Hey guys, I understand that your religion forbids anyone to renounce their faith but as far as I know, I does not order one to switch off ones brain. The Pope, with all due respect, is the head of another religious movement. Another religious movement, which too believes in enlarging the number of its followers. If he would not do so, then who else would? What is the Pope without religion? Just an Old German fellow. Running a rival religion is all he is about. It is his job to convert others. How can you accept the fact that he exists without accepting the fact that he does the utmost to spread his version of God and friends.

All Hail, the King of Romanticism
Though Keats truly is a great poet and all, characterising him till half past 3 really is not my kind of entertainment. Furthermore, trying to be productive with something like 3 hours of sleep is also somewhat of a challenge. The best thing is that the only time to rid myself of the sleep deficit is during the weekend or during the lessons. Thanks to MEP, I’ve managed to get myself quite a big pile of work left to do before the period ends. This included the achievement paper as well as the big German test, some poetry for Merka and I haven’t even mentioned Russian yet. AND I am quite willing to murder anyone, who is going to lecture about time management.

The Tinfoil Hour
Conspiracy theories are for some fat ugly men who don't know how to bathe? I haven't done anything bad so I've got nothing to worry about. The police and the secret services are all about catching bad guys. If all those apply to you, here's something. Though I wouldn't consider myself libertarian, there still are somethings, which worry me. So like an ugly fatso I am, I'll just try to convert you. If some guys wearing gray coats and shades take me along for a chat, you might consider this my will.
Oh, feel free to pay no attention to the commercial announcement in the beginning. Apparently, this is just necessary evil.

and my vote goes to...
Guess what happened.
Though I may agree on that notion, I am quite sure that the result holds practically no value. Mr Savisaar would probably have been chosen even if the press enemy would be substituted for public enemy or any other title with a negative connotation. If you manage to amass 100 000 signatures on some petition to recall you, it is beyond doubt that you are toast. If one compares the e-votes, e-polls, orkut communities and naturally delfi kommentaarid, one might be able to spot a pattern there. So the competition has to put in shedloads of extra hours to catch up.
Though the method is unreliable, the result is beyond doubt. How many others do you know who make a living by claiming that the press is partisan and hates him? The only exception is his own oh-so-very-independent party paper, which is known for being the shiniest example of good journalism in this god-forsaken country. Oh yeah, using municipal papers, that is our own tax money, to spam us is also notable.

Well done Al
As we all known already, Mr Gore is the co-recipient of this year's Nobel Peace Prize. Though he is only known for his popular film explaining the risks of climate change, it has done more to arouse public interest than all the other efforts combined. I strongly support the decision as the climate change is something that probably will not affect us personally, but our offspring most probably. Like Mr Gore pointed out, the idea of what would happen if the world's most densely populated areas are to be flooded is terrifying. The exodus of all those chinese and indians will probably have the same effect on our society as the exodus of the huns had on the Roman one. I am as sure as you get, that the most probable safe haven the refuges aim for, is Europe. There is not much we could do about it. Actually there is nothing we can do about it but prevent it from happening. Unfortuanately that is not an option as long as there are people denying the obvious around.

Leave me alone, please do
The lovely film by Man Ray, filmed in 1926, France.
I have always wanted to be sophisticated and cultured. Enjoying art at it's finest is an integral part of it. But here's the catch, something are NOT art. Getting high and covering the canvas with one's excrement is not art. Dumping molten glass into cold water is not art. Combining random images and effects is not art. But if put next to a sign which says art, people will be more than eager to dish out ridiculous sums of money to see it. Then they will claim to have seen the meaning or experienced enlightenment. Sorry, just because you saw something you didn't understand anything doesn't make you neither sophisticated nor smart. Just because it does not make sense and has not been done before, does not mean it's art.
I am not sure about the rating but unfortunately this piece cannot be graded. It is not a film, it's a cinepoeme. I am not sure what should you watch next in case you liked this film. I am sure however if it looked familiar to real life, you really need to go to rehab.

Palju see ausus meil tänapäeval kah maksab?
Olla aus pidi olema kõige olulisem omadus siin ilmas. Samas hindame me kõik kavalust ning oskust soovimatutest olukordadest pea püsti väljuda. Kas on õigem minna järeltöösse tühja peaga ning näha veebipäevikus 2/1 või pettusega saada 5?
Mina õpin tööks ja näen vaeva ning saan mõne näpuvea pärast nelja või, taevas hoia, kolme. Minust mõni pink tagapool istuv õpilane kopeerib kogu teksti oma iPodi ning saab 5. Raske töö ja vaev ei tasu ära samas pettusega saab kõike ja palju kergemini. Kas ei ole mitte ülekohtune? Hoolimata materjali vastumeelsusest töötan läbi, õpin ära. Kaasõpilane ei vaevugi, aga hinnete poolest oleme samal pulgal.
Järjekordne järeltöö. Läheb vaja imet, et jõuda kogu materjal pähe ajada. Tööd edasi lükata ka ei anna, seda juba tehtud viimased kuu aega. Õpetaja ei vaata, teen maha, saan oma linnukese kirja. Teiste hindeid see ei muuda, minu oma päästab. Ma nii kui nii ei kavatse seda ainet edasi õppima minna, milleks ma pean mõtetult pingutama? Palju lihtsam on teha kuskilt maha, hinne kätte saada ning asi unustada.
Et Hannes ei saaks öelda, et temast juttu polnud, tuletan talle meelde, et mõttetu sõimamine ei vii edasi.

Teiste hindeid see ei muuda, minu oma päästab. Ma nii kui nii ei kavatse seda ainet edasi õppima minna, milleks ma pean mõtetult pingutama? Palju lihtsam on teha kuskilt maha, hinne kätte saada ning asi unustada.
Et Hannes ei saaks öelda, et temast juttu polnud, tuletan talle meelde, et mõttetu sõimamine ei vii edasi.

Sõber
Kes ikkagi on su sõber? See, et sõpradega tülli minnakse on täiesti tavaline. See, et hiljem ära lepitakse samuti. Teinekord on nii, et pole põhjust ära leppida. Kas siis, kui teine kasutab ära iga võimalust sinu alandamiseks, on põhjust ära leppida. Kutsud sõbra külla, üritad lepitada ja tema vaid sõimab sind. Üritad olla viisakas, aga teine nõuab vaid täielikku allumist. Räägid oma mõtetest ja soovidest ning tema vaid levitab alatuid valesid sinu kohta. Ometigi on ta suurem, tugevam ja, mis kõige olulisem, populaarsem. Kas on õigem alistuda, et lõppeks see piin ja sõda? Või jätkata tülitsemist kuna alla andmisega kaotad oma näo ning jäädki teise jooksu/peksupoisiks?
Kõik arvamused on oodatud.

Tüdimus
Inimestele ei meeldi kui nendega manipuleeritakse. Ootamatult sajab kaela midagi liiga head, et see tõsi oleks. Ühel heal päeval ilmub ootamatult otse näo ette maiuspala. Pikemal vaatamisel pasitab selle küljes mingi pisike tamiilijupike olevat. Kas neelata hõrgutis alla ja loota parimat või lasta võimalus käest ja näha kuidas keegi teine naudib maiust ning kiruda ennast liigse ettevaatlikuse eest? Kes ei riski ei saavuta midagi. Ometigi ka kaotuskibedus võib vahel magus olla. Ussike võib ju hea olla aga konksuke vaevalt sama meeldiv on. Kas suvalise tuttava, kui inimese keda reaalselt ei tunne, pakkumine lühikese ajaga teenida suur summa on üldse kaalumist väärt? Inimeste kõige suurem nõrkus on loomupärane ahnus. Kas kui keegi spetsiaalselt sellele iseloomujoonele suunatud ideega välja tuleb, ei ole mitte tegemist kõige ilmsema petuskeemiga. Idee võib ahvatlev olla aga tagajärjed ei pruugi.
