Richard Gellers speech to the graduating class of 11
I started watching this earlier today, but had to stop a minute in because it was too hard to watch. Maybe once I stop tearing.
I watched him give this speech live during graduation back in June….so awe-inspiring. The part that stood out to me was when he said he was doing a new cancer treatment and it was working, and at that everyone was in tears and standing up and clapping. I was so hopeful and happy for him. You could say he was a legend…teaching math until the very end. Rest in peace Mr. Geller.

15 Keyboard Shortcuts for Lazy People
lazy and proud
stupid fucking kids… they baffle me.
i deal with a lot of kids these days… and their parents.
if any of those kids were my kids i would fucking kick the shit out of them for being so stupid and dumb and full of fake ass emotions that last as long as one song on their iPods.
yeah, i was a teenager once. yeah, i was a student. yes i took the same tests and had girlfriends and had gone off to college.
but no, i don’t think i was ever so narrow minded and closed off from the world. no, i was never church-oriented, i never went to an academy, and no i never hung out with only koreans and played in karaokes. yes, i was smarter than all the kids i teach combined. studying was a joke and shit was easy. i don’t think i ever struggled in high school or college and i never went to sleep at like 2 am or 3 am. in fact, i never pulled an all-nighter in high school and the only reason i did in college was because i went off to a party first then did my homework. shit’s a joke these kids struggle all their lives doing this shit and that and won’t admit to themselves that they are fucking lazy and stupid.
they all listen to the same shit, go to similar schools, go home, and if not home to an academy, and if not an academy, they are at church. every once in a while, they go to karaoke with their friends… most of them are from church. and they look forward to a retreat where they pray and sing and play games yet they don’t live life even close to the shit they preach and pray for. makes me laugh.
now, is there anything wrong with that? i mean is that going to destroy their lives if they live like that? not really. frankly, it doesn’t do anything.
but how the fuck are these kids trained to accept the world around them if they are sheltered in flushing and queens all their lives?
once in a while they have a “deep” conversation about the world today while listening to some sensitive music other than K pop, most namely yiruma and shit. the irony is that 99% of these idiots end up in college that leads no where. they have the “intelligence” to discuss about deep issues around the world over perhaps a beer that one of their older friends bought for them, but they have nothing in their minds truly deep enough to achieve their dreams… that is, if they have a dream.
and you wonder why korean society has failed to grow in the past 50 years. it’s because these kids are trained like fucking puppies to go back and forth from church to school to academy. and when they aren’t doing that shit, they are at home on the computer playing games or on some weird ass site. after they grow up they go off to a mediocre college assisted by all sorts of tutors and church friends. then in college they don’t do shit and come back to queens with nothing but a shitty dream they probably gave up on by that point. then they have kids and they tell their kids the same shit they hear from their own parents: don’t grow up like me, work hard and become something.
yeah… but they don’t become shit because these students grow up to be… the same parents that they had.
now, are the parents bad? no… just helpless. they don’t have awesome jobs so i understand they have to work. they turn to the excuse that they can’t speak english, but is that really an excuse? i understand them though as i understand how hard it is to work and raise kids at the same time.
the kids, they understand this… yeah okay. that’s why they don’t do shit most of the time. get on facebook 90% of the time when they shouldn’t be on it. some of them do drugs. others drink or try to drink. some simply make “friends” in church and think that shit is more important than even their entire fucking lives.
sometimes i feel like shit because i feel frustrated looking at these kids.
it’s literally like talking to a wall. they don’t know shit but they think they are wise smartasses. joking around and saying this and that shit and commenting things on facebook and tumblr and whatever, taking pictures and writing shit they don’t understand. simply retarded. simply jaded and blind.
but obviously, i can say this all my life and they don’t listen. why? because they are “too cool.”
i wish for once in their fucking lives they stick to the promises they make to themselves.
i wish for once in their stupid mediocre lives they work their asses off for something.
i wish that they would look at themselves and fucking realize how stupid they look talking about the world and this and that when they never left queens or have friends from diverse backgrounds.
i wish that they would really grow up.
become more open to the world. listen to your own advice. stop being so stupidly shallow. stop making dumb friends who don’t do shit for you and you don’t do shit for them besides go to karaoke and church. stop praying for shit and not putting in the work necessary. stop going to fucking church and truly help the poor and you start with yourself and your own parents. stop going to missions… because really? are you in a position to help anybody? look how early your dad leaves for work and see how late your mom arrives.
and if you are reading this, get the fuck off the computer and make yourself useful. you have a dream? do something about it instead of talking shit. you want to see the world, then start by opening your fucking eyes first. do you feel sorry for your parents? well then help them out instead of going to church and doing nothing.
yes, again… you won’t listen because there is nothing wrong with you and you have a dream and you are going to work hard yadda yadda blah blah.
and then a week later, you are the same shit you are today.
stop making me laugh.

Old People Line Up To Clean Radiation in Japan
Mr. Yamada: “I am 72 and on average I probably have 13 to 15 years left to live. Even if I were exposed to radiation, cancer could take 20 or 30 years or longer to develop. Therefore us older ones have less chance of getting cancer.”
Basically a group of 200+ retirees are volunteering to expose themselves to high levels of radiation so the younger men and women don’t have to.
Making the ultimate sacrifice to protect the lives of their children, and their children’s children. <3
