I'll get the 'non-post' part of the blog out of the way first...
sorry for not posting as often as had once been possible, but i do have a legitimate excuse, firstly there has not been much to post about, and other people had taken the few possible subjects and posted about them already. So, i decided to not blog at all, rather than go through another complete 'non-post' and leave you unsatisfied.
Well, as i said just then, there hasn't been much to post about, and that's still true, with people ignoring their set subjects on this blog and posting about whatever they feel like... but hopefully everything will go back to the way it should be soon.
Not much has been happening socially around school or the surrounding territories, but there has been some interesting news coming over from Iran which you should of heard about...
well, i'll give you the backstory to these protests:
the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad held a Presidenial election on a recent weekend, and supporters of the opposition, a large chunk of the population, have claimed that it was rigged and are demanding a re-election and an inquiry into the first one. And who can blame them, when the president won with 63% of the votes, all which were apparently counted within an hour of closing the polls...
Most of the protestors are under 25, and the riots mainly consist of students, so there are currently a lot of very angry ruffians protesting in the streets in Iran's capital, Tehran. As soon as the protests started news reporters flocked in from around the globe, but they were sent out of the country quite urgently, seems like the president doesn't want the world to see what his next move is.
But, technology prevails as usual, and the young, tech-savvy students protesting in the streets have used their knowledge to show the world what is happening through phone-recorded youtube videos and twitter has become like a military radion, with protests being planned, but this soon slowed down with claims that the military was using it to set fake, trap protests.
There have been some videos showing the violence by military personell, and there have been some deaths, including three uni-students, shot dead by police who stormed a university...
Hopefully the measures pulled by the government won't be too drastic, but you never know...
Well, This is DJ Needles signing out, dimming down and leaving you all alone, with an ever-expanding pool of information which we lovingly call the 'internet', you should try to learn something from it, like how to tie-dye, or fire-proof a blanket, you never know when tie-dye-ing could save your life...
Out

What do they mean?
Seamless dirty dreams.
Why must you scream?
Please don't make a scene.
She thinks she plays,
Is it all a game?
No need to be tame,
Sugar melts the acid rain
