Suck on that

Fuck school.

Thats right, I said it. The F word. (Sorry Adam, if you wanted to keep this blog PG) I do not hate school, because, call me a nerd (Nerd) I like to learn. I feel all tingly inside when I grasp a concept then I can talk to my little sister about and feel like I am passing on a torch of knowledge. I'm not entirely sure that that sentence I just wrote is grammatically or politically correct. But here I am learning things that are irrelovent to my whole 'being'. I know, schools all important and shit, education is worth more than the moon or whatever, but I feel that if I have already made a conscious decision that I swear on my Great Aunt Betty's grave that I will never ever use this material in real life, don't you think I shouldn't have to put myself through the agonizing pain of learning it? WHY is it that to measure my intelligence I have to take tests over things I'll never use in real life? Thats not smart if you ask me! This is preparing us for college, not life. This is crushing our imagination, not inspiring it. This is sparking our anger and the reason why we will have to pay thousands of dollars to shrinks in the years to come! Revolt I say! Leave before you get sucked into the slippery slope of books, and thesis', and calculations!

Also, the ACT? ACrap. I have absolutely no room to talk about it at all, I have not taken it. I should probably stop right here, because I don't really have evidence to back up my claim but I won't. In all honesty, I'll probably get a good score on it (they say if you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything. I believe I will kick ass. good luck with that one), however I think taking that test does not measure how smart you are, it measures how much you can memorize shit, how you can priotize your time, and how good of a test taker you are. While all three things are smart people qualities, they don't qualify to take all the room for the definition of being smart. Albert Einstein was a supposed idiot or something, like he failed a grade I don't really know, plus he had really weird hair, but look at him! Shear genius. Another good example is my mom (oh, and mom if you read this, sorry for the saying the F word, and ya know I love ya mom! p.s. my mom will never read this) ya see my mom passed her, lets call it a-small-attention-span and sort-of-ditzy-qualites onto her children. But, she was just fooling everyone. Everyone thought she was just a ditz in highschool, and any of her highschool classmates are absolutely shocked to hear she is a doctor. But she is, and it didn't take a high score on her ACT to start her own health care practice or raise 4 psycho daughters.

What I am saying, which I think Adam has also said before me (I think, my memory sucks) is that grades and test scores are cool and you feel all proud inside once you see the good score, but guess what? There not everything. I doubt, that when you look back in highschool, that the things you want to remember is that bomb ass paper you wrote and you got an A. I'd rather remember anything but the grades I got. Even though I get good grades, even though I always do my homework, I absolutely DESPISE learning this suppressing stuff.

I feel a little bit better, now back to the english I was ignoring!

Unfair, unbalanced, and first,

Believe it or not

"I know it, but I don't know if I believe it."

Words spoken by an idiot. What the heck is that supposed to mean? But its all simple isn't it? There are somethings that we know, but if we stop and think about it, do we really believe it?

"When we get older, it gets harder to believe. Its not that we don't want to, but too much has happened, and we can't." -Now and Then

There is a million things thrown at us by people, trying to convince us one way or another. But what is right and what is wrong? When less then perfect situations arise, are we always using our better judgement by listening to our hearts? Or is that the worst voice to listen to? Should we be more practical and listen to our heads, even if its not our hearts desire...?

Course, nothing thats thrown at us at the ripe age of 17 matters all too much. We're still young, and we don't face many life-altering decisions just yet. But these little decisions is like a prep for the big ones....and I have to wonder....are we making the right choices?

Where I am going with this is anyones guess. But I am choosing to stop.........now.

The Chicken or The Egg?

Well, Adam has put up some bomb ass posts. Isn't he delightful ladies and gents? Theres a reason why I'm letting him share a blog with me. Hahhaaha. (I'll keep my day job)

I am tired, but I wanted to post something but I am tired, as I said. So I thought, why don't I repost what I posted before so it'll be like 'the best of' of my posts? Ya know? Not that any of my posts are actually all that great. I don't know, I'll just try it out. So here it is...the republication of the Chicken or the egg!

You know the age old question: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Well with that same theme in my mind, I have to ask:

Which came first, the slut or the pervert?

We all know that mainly teenage girls wear about as much clothes out for a night on the town as many normal people wear to the beach. They show a lot of skin, and flaunt what they got. Obvious, they want the much needed attention from men. And lets face it boys, you adore it.

The ladies defend themselves saying, I like to look sexy. I'm comfortable with my body. This is my style, I like the way I look. But a girl who wears non sluttly clothes is probably just at comfortable with her body as the 'slut' is. But, is it really wrong that girls like to show off their physiques? Guys like the way they look, they like the way they look, whats the big deal?

Yet both men and women complain that they hate seeing people like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera strutting around in barely-there outfits. They plead it disgusting, yet the guys are secretly undressing what may be left of their clothing in their heads, and the girls are wishing they looked that good.

And what is the deal with the guys saying they don't find the slutty girls sexy? Maybe they don't find it sexy, but it does turn them on and every guy knows it. Face it, would you look twice if a tan, blonde, big boobed chick walked by, or if a conservatively dressed woman walked by? Yeah.
Guys, its hard for some girls to get any attention when you respond so faithfully to the sluts over the non sluts. And girls, when you dress like that you make it hard for women to actually have some integrity.


Its a hard question, whos to blame?

The guys for responding to these showy off girls, or the girls giving them a reason to look?

Hey don't ask me, I'm just throwing it out there.

Think whatever you want.


Yes, I posted that almost a year ago, and I still agree with myself. Good. Welp, I think thats enough scandal for this website for a week. Maybe I'll write something new and worthwhile soon. Don't count on it, though.

Supreme Prom Court Hearing

One girl(her name will not be given for her sake) decided to ask me to vote for her in the prom court elections.
Yet, I cannot simply approve a candidate without knowing some things first, especially with something as important as porm prom.

The following is the transcript from that hearing. Some spelling has not been corrected to maintain the accuracy of what was stated.

***Start transcript***

Adam: can i ask you some questions
Prom Court Member Candidate(PCMC): suure

PCMC: because... u know its like eveyr girls thing u know to want ot be on court.. u know actually be recognized.. i was really shy in grade scool.. nice ot be recognized.. and I feel that im a good role model
Adam: what do you think you will gain from it?
PCMC: i feel it would be a good experience in itself to spend time wiht people i wouldnt normallsy spend time with.. and to be recognized a lil more

PCMC: and based off that
PCMC: i wouldnt get on...
PCMC: so just kinda want it
Adam: say if you agree or disagree with this statement then say why: Prom court is a superficial popularity contest that actually doesn't mean anything at all but used by the popular to make the equally as worthy but less accepted feel less accepted more.
PCMC: dont completely agree
PCMC: some truth behind it tho.. i do believe people vote by who they think should be on it.. whether they know them or not
PCMC: like homecoming i voterd JP on court i didnt really know him
PCMC: but like i feel the crowd all voted the same
PCMC: well some
Adam: i don't think you answered the question
PCMC: haha umm
PCMC: yes i think its popularity contest
PCMC: no> becaus ei think there is mroe meaning to it then popularity
Adam: what is the other meaning that you refer to?
PCMC: hmm just liek hah this gay... umm every like girls "dream" or whatever.. and gives a role model
Adam: ok, now explain the value you place on popularity
PCMC: on me being popular?
Adam: i ask the questions
PCMC: haha
PCMC: ok umm
PCMC: i dont personally care about being popular.. but idont wanna be a shy person no one know.. and i dont want to be like kdisliked or hated.. i enoy people liking me
Adam: you say that you consider yourself a good role model and yet you admittedly participate in illegal activity
PCMC: ... say wha?
Adam: how are these not conflicting statements
PCMC: umm i have drank underage i wont lie
PCMC: but ive never
PCMC: like
PCMC: benn durnk tipsy
PCMC: or even had a full glass
PCMC: ive maybe drank 4 times
PCMC: 3 of those with family
Adam: the law dosent differenciate
PCMC: for weddings
PCMC: and things
PCMC: 1 time had red wine with my cousin
PCMC: never even had a full glass
PCMC: so
PCMC: im just saying i wont deny that ive done it

PCMC: umm i dont respect people who drink and get drunk and stuf.. i dont do drugs... and i only drink ( excluding 1 time) with family permission
PCMC: i dont have sex
PCMC: i focus on school
PCMC: i dont let everything material takeover... idunno i have life goals
PCMC: that i plan to reach an succeed
Adam: you say that you don't focus on material and yet you seem to really want to be on prom court, explain this
P: i want tobe on prom court, to be better recognized.. and have a special memory, and maybe be a role model to like people not that popular such as myself
Adam: I think the fact that you drink would have been the best qualifying criteria for appointing you to the supreme prom court but you say it was only four times and only with family(still illegal in most cases)
PCMC: u want me 2 drink
PCMC: ...
Adam: let the record show that 2 min. Elapsed with out a response from the candidate

The candidate then signed off just when I was about to ask for her closing statements.

Personally I feel she did poorly.

Crappy Music Generator Generates Crap Generator, Needs Cloths

Former No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani is pregnant with her first child. Reportedly, her baby’s daddy is Gavin Rossadale from the rock band Bush.

The story goes that when Stefani went to look for clothes for her pending baby she couldn’t find any with the proper amount of cleavage or that went well with her fetus’s pink hair. So, giving up on shopping she decided that she would make her own baby clothes, and by that she means that she felt like having someone else design and make the cloths for her baby and millions of other aspiring street corner walker babies all over the nation.

Stefani’s baby line will be the hot item at this year’s baby showers so I figured that I’d warn you.

The Crisis

Today being the 18th day of January, in the year of our Lord 2006 a great dilemma hath descended upon me. I have an orthodontist appointment today. Now, orthodontists, being the spawn of the anti-Christ sent from the fiery depths of the inferno to smite people who have teeth that would probably have gotten along fine with out them, have a disposition of creating problems. My orthodontist gives each patient a t-shirt baring his logo when puts their braces on. If you wear this t-shirt to your appointments he will give you a grand total sum of $1. Now, if you happen to have been a good brusher since your last visit, which I have, and have chewed your proper amount of tin foil then he promises to give you an additional free $1. I have never worn the t-shirt. I am what you would call too cool, or above such nonsense.

But times have changed.

The last time my boss called me to work was before Christmas and one really awesome guy is short on cash (hint: not Donald Trump). I am still way too cool for the loud red shirt that displays the mark of the Beast. Yet every man has his price and mine seems to have fallen to $2.

I feel like such a whore.

Politics as Usual

Before I start talking about anything political on this weblog I want to say some things about disagreeing with me. I think it is highly important that people have opposite opinions. Personally, I think dissent is central to any political discussion or to any discussion. Disagreement makes people rethink what I say and more importantly it makes me rethink what I say.

Everyone has their own beliefs and those beliefs are usually based on two things: upbringing and personal experience. I tend to think that upbringing is more effective mostly because opinions and values that you are brought up with can affect the way that you view your personal experiences. It'’s great for me to hear other sides of an issue because maybe they bring up a point that I haven'’t thought of yet. I would like to say that I can always see both sides of an issue and I should try to acknowledge both.

I just want to make sure that when you post comments, regardless of your opinion, you'’ve thought your feelings through and know why you believe what you believe, so that I'’m not just getting a bunch of party line following people idiots. Because that sucks.

*Let's Talk About Love* part I

I am sorry, I am just in such a mood lately, im going to WRITE about it.

I have this feeling of....um.

I should just delete what I just wrote because it is a complete waste of bandwidth. But I'm not going to. This whole post is going to be a waste but why waste life talking about waste when the waste of life is to not express yourself at all?

Ok, so I was thinking about past relationships or lack there of. I am not going to entertain (bore) you with details on my past boyfriends, even though you are dying to know (no you're not, you're wondering why you are still reading). I am going to delve into the mind of a crazy person when it comes to love (a highschool girl) and spill everything out for others to make fun of.

First of all, I'm not talking about luv <3.>Not the girls who have "3 and 1/2 days.....I love you baby!" in their profile or the girls who make out with a guy, confess their luv to him, and make out with another guy, confess their luv to him, make out with a different guy....

I'ma talkin about love.

I highly doubt that a lot of people our age have actually been in love. We're all a little too self centered and in love with ourselves to want to share that love with another person. Or we all hate ourselves too much that we can't find love for another person. But, on a rare occasion, us teenage people can love someone.

From what I hear, love's pretty tight. Spose to be all magical, sunsets, fireworks, kiss in the rain, music playing that no one else can hear. And all that is, ya know...fuzzy.

But what about life after love?

When you break up. After being in love and you break up....where does all the love go? How do you really let go of a person? Millions of heartbroken people ask the question...where do I go from here?

I have the answer. Yes, I have the answer. I am all-knowing. I know all. I deserve a trip to Hawaii because I have the answer.
Here's the answer:

You have to find the answer.

After anything that happens in your life that leaves you a little unbalanced, the way to find your balance, your stable happiness again, is to listen to yourself. Cuz, I suppose you're about as happy as you make yourself out to be. You can't make someone love you. And you can't make yourself love someone. All you really can do, is love when you can and cherish what you have while its there.

But, if its gone, let it go. Just wait for the next heartbreaker to make you lose your balance.

And one last thing, boys will come and go, your heart will get broken and put back together, but you will never make it through without your friends.

Whipped Reality

So we were in Religion discussing stuff that has nothing to do with the Catholic religion (as usual and thank God) we were talking about commerials and the media and how it tries to control you and what not. The topic got shifted to Laguna Beach, and Mr. J. Homan shattered many dreams when he said the immortal words, "Laguna Beach is not real."

And its obvious that its not real, because people change when the camera is on. And lately, reality shows are all the rage. Which I find interesting, because in all reality, this isn't reality. Who has their own T.V. show for one thing? And who gets paid, ya know, large sums of money to do really weird tasks? We all know its not reality, its just entertainment But its weird, cuz we what TV to escape reality, but we have reality shows. I don't get it. And I don't like reality TV shows cuz I think, why does this person have a TV show? Why don't I?

I'm really not that interesting that I deserve my own show. Weird stuff just happens to me. Plus I'm psychic.

I guess I'll just have to settle on my own website. But even THIS isn't my own. I'm sharing it with stupid Adam.

Sorry, lost my train of thought, ValentineLoveBug just IMed me.

So the moral to the story is, tonight during dinner I sprayed my dog with Whip Cream and my mom yelled at me. I was holding the can wrong and had bad aim. So she sprayed the dogs with Whip Cream. Dogs are funny.



I was just kidding when I called Adam stupid. We're such good friends that we can joke around like that. Hahahahahahaaha.

Addiction

Hopefully I'll have something worth reading up soon for the two of you that read this regularly. I haven't had much to write lately because my education has gone back to murdering my imagination and crushing my inspiration. Also my growing DDR addiction is taking up a good amount of time. At least that is fun. Maybe sometime in the next week or so when I get used to the grind again. I haven't fully recovered from the first semester yet and we're already well on our way into the second one. So expect a post soon, nothing great, maybe like a 2.5-3.0 star post on the 5 star scale but at least it will be something.

Short and Sweet

There's come a point in time where the things that meant so much a year ago, just don't matter anymore. Who cares who is doing who in our grade, or if someone said something about you. For once, the center of the universe doesn't have to revolve around gossip and I don't know, people can just...be.

I believe that something happens between sophomore and junior year. People find out where they fit and the petty things from the past vanish. No, not everyone loves each other or likes each other. But, we're here, and we're stuck with each other for another year and a half, so we might as have fun. Cuz highschools almost over, and if we don't start to enjoy it now, we might let it pass us by.

Well geez...

Somebody forgot of something called difference of opinion. Aye, sometimes, not everyone is going interept a writer's writing the way the writer wanted it to be portrayed. It happens. Going into the writing business I hope we get used to that, no? But I think for the particular post, Adam has made it EXTREMELY clear what he meant because a). he practically used the same title and b). he demolished anyone who spoke against it. Don't be scared to post comments, we won't discriminate against you EVERYTIME you leave one, just once in a while when you have your own opinion. :) Kidding. Comment or hold you silence. I can take it. He can take it. We love to hate and hate to love. When in Rome. Or something like that.

The first post of the New Year! I beat you to it suckker.

Speaking of the New Year, what is with resolutions? I asked people what their new year's resolutions were going to be, a good number of people said to get off the drugs. I pray that they are kidding. Stay on the drugs my friend! Rehab is for quitters!

Other people answered me seriously. I think it was because I told them I was researching something for something or another, I don't remember what I said but I sounded professional.

What I don't get, is how this one day sparks about so many changes. Am I the only one not aware of the fact that Sunday Jan. 1 was similar to a Sunday not too long ago? (Thats a bad analogy, because it was my birthday, so no it wasn't like anyother day. Stay on topic Stay on topic) I mean, its still cold outside, we still have to go back to school, it feels like a year has gone by because we actually THOUGHT about the year that has gone by. (Crazy what thinking will do to you). This day is like any other day except theres a 6 instead of a 5 at the end of the dates. If you would of thought about your life a year ago from last Tuesday, it wouldn't blow your mind too much.

Don't get me wrong, I think its cool that people want to all of a sudden change a lot of things, and make goals that they won't follow, by why didn't you do that on Nov. 14? Or May 23? Or any other day of the year? What is it about my birthday, my wonderful birthday, New Years Day, that ignites the ambitious part of people? Well, the astrologist sign is Capricorn, the ambitious goat.

I'd change the title from New Years Resolution to Year Long resolutions, if you'd ask me.

Oh and whats my Year Long Resolution?

Learn how to knit a scarf with my Grandma. Trust me, this will take all year, neither of us are very craft...like.
