Hm, 3 day vacation, now...

Had yet another political type discussion in history today... and yet again the same people show the same blunt 'everything the usa does or has done' attitude... *sigh*

I wasnt really participating in this one, though at one point, at random (this was before the debate) the teacher just asked me, after mentioning that norway had a socialist government, "Which is better, socialism or capitalism?"... if I had known that kind of a question would be asked, I would have had an answer, but its not something that can be answered spur of the moment, as its really just an opinion... depending on your viewpoints, one or the other might be better.

We then had to write about who we think the one most important person in history was... something which I REALLY dont get. I mean, hes a history teacher, yet he thinks single people make a difference, overall? Some people may cause changes, and such, but most of the time those changes would have happened sooner or later, anyways. And languages, religions, might be different cause of some people, but in the broad scale of things, those are rather trivial...

So I kind of alluded to the discussion in my essay. I dont think he will notice it, but it still felt satisfying... lol (one argument was whether the USA was a 'conquering' nation, so I wrote about how one person in history proved that in order to ocnquer you did not neccessarily need to claim it as your own, it was conquered if you converted their beliefs, their government, their way of life, to your own. Except then it was part oppression, as well...)

Ugh, enough politics. What else is there to blog about... hrm...

oh, I know, Ill post this. I didnt write this, by the way...



Run, wolf warrior, to ends eternal
Through the wreckage of the death of the day
Scent of silence under starlight spinning
A captured beast within a human skin

Are you searching for long lost landscapes
Lit by flowers and crystal cascades?
Where the lamb lies down with the lion
Where the wolf is one with the wild

Run, wolf warrior, through kingdoms' chaos
Senseless cities and ghost towns towering
Howl, O hunter, though few know you're crying
Face upturned into that midnight moon

Are you hunting for mystic mountains
Where the air is like liquid laughter?
Where the beasts inherit the earth
Where the last again will be first

Run, wolf warrior, to hide your hunger
The rain will wash away the pains of the day
In your eyes there are cold fires burning
Tongues of flame that can never be tamed

Are you running from Man's delusion
Majestic madness and your exclusion
To where the lamb lies down with the lion?

Are you running down ancient pathways
Through this dark and deserted land
To where man is once more a child?

Are you running to freedom's fortress
By the side of wide open seas
Where the wolf is one with the wild?

Run, run, run...

Run, run, run, run, run, run on, run on through the rain...
