[RANT=450]So we're looking at some cars - Volkswagen Tourag (which is overpriced IMO), Infiniti FX3/45, Lexus GX/LX - and the Mark Levinson name pops up on the Lexus site. Somehow, I start rambling about how Bose is beaten by Mark Levinson and contrary to popular belif, Bose isn't the best and not good at all in some respects. She then says, "Bose is good, millions of people are buying Bose, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't good". And here I thought she knew more about marketing than my classmates. So much for that concept...
At least this isn't as bad as the guy who said Infinity (the audio one) uses crappy quality parts to build their speakers, and that Bose is far, far superior. Well, at least he hates Bose headphones. But he's never heard of Sennheiser, and he thinks because he hasn't heard of them, they suck. Stupid Juniors*
(High School)!
I'm fed up with people not understanding that a flashy ad/product doesn't mean its good/better. Come on, KSC-35/75's are wayyy better than those iPod buds (and KSC-35's aren't from the trash/5 bucks either). MP3 (and all lossy formats) at something like 128 isn't better than CD. Ever. And yes, CD IS digital, its not analog because its spinning. Vinyl CAN and often DOES sound better.
I LOATHE being the intellectual at our school. Example: I have been talking about the upcoming stuff (DS, PSP) for a while now. Whatever they're drooling about now, I've been looking at for a year or two (in the most extreme cases). My philosopical and analitcal nature really hurts me sometimes. I try to look at things in a different and inventive way...and I get ridiculed for that. Makes me wonder why I even come in 50 feet of these cretins.
I write with a lot of vocabulary words in my reports and things, and I also write with detail. Some kids usually end up getting a hold of my paper and then laughing at it for the rest of the week (they thought motif was motive, etc.). I'm small, timid, and very respectful of others. I don't like to fight back when not needed.
I detest my 9th grade class...[/RANT]
