Ode to the 90's

Ok, so I wish I could be one of those people who are cool and don't love facebook, but I'm not. That is right, when I turn my laptop on to start my homework when I get home afterschool, I go to the stupid facebook and look at stuff. I do not know why it interests me so much but it does. Anywho, there was this group I joined that is called : If you grew up in the 90's. I loved it so much I copy/pasted it here. If anyone enjoyed their childhood in the 90's, they'll probably like this. Or maybe I'm just weird.

.Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.Class field trips.When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.When Toys R Us overuled the mall.Go back to the time when:Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!''Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly.'It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.Being old referred to anyone over 20.A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.It was a big deal to finally be tall enought to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.Another Baby Sitter Club and Little Sister (Karen) book came out and you put your name on hold for it at the library.When Aladdin was new, before the trilogy was complete.Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much?

Today a stupid comment was said to me in passing that I can't stop dwelling on. Just a few words and my mind can't stop thinking about it. The thing is, these words said by a friend questioned something that is important to me. That person doesn't know what they are talking about, yet a few choice words and I doubt everything that I thought before. Why do other people's opinions matter so much to any of us? It's amazing how much time and energy we spend thinking about what other people are thinking about us. It's this uncomfortable feeling that we are so used to, we become comfortable with it and we let ourselves believe that it's okay to feel that way. I say screw it

Battle of the Sexes

It always kind of entertains me how different guys and girls are. And how we are so adorably clueless when it comes to trying to figure each other out...just in general. Girls are just crazy, if you ask me. We obsess about things so much and then we have talk about it, ya know, the only reason we bother learning another language is so that we can repeat everything we said over again but sound like we're finally changing the subject. And guys, well from what I've learned about them, are pretty simple. I mean, yea they have all the same emotions as us rollercoaster girls, but since society puts so much pressure on them to act all tough they don't, or just won't show their "feelings" as much. Which makes them hard to read, and when something is hard to read, it make a girl think. And when a girl starts to think, she starts to talk, and as I said above, when a girl starts talking she usually can't stop. An excellent example of this would be the blog that I am typing right this second. I am a girl and I just can't seem to stop talking about how different guys and girls are even though I think I've made most of my point. My point is that I think girls are crazy, I think guys are confusing and I think we'll never fully understand each other ever. And I think I like it that way.

World issues

The US population just reached 300,000,000 people. To me this is a cause for concern simply because that is way too many fucking people.

You might recall a certain country having a nuke test in the recent past. You also might remember that this country tested a ICBM that failed miserably. The country that I am talking about, of course, is North Korea.

I would like to first say that I am looking forward to the impending showdown with North Korea because I played the video game and it makes me feel involved. Yes, “Mercenaries,” a game created by Lucas Arts is about a crazy North Korean military dictator who has nuclear weapons. A war breaks out and a bunch of really cool things happen. China rushes in to fight and gain territory, the South Koreans get the shit blasted out of them and the Russian mafia moves in and does really cool mafia things.

I should probablly tell you that should this war break out there’s nothing to worry about. I beat the game and it turns out that we end up destroying the crazy dictator’s nukes and, if you’re me, taking him down alive for a cool 100 million.

But the point is that having a population of 300,000,000 people is pretty much an open invitation for the North Koreans to nuke us on the grounds that we have way to many fucking people.

Homecoming apparel guide

Homecoming is just around the corner for some and probably over for most others. But I figured that I’d give our two readers some advice on how dress for the big dance.

Adam’s guide to male homecoming apparel:

1) Never wear khakis. Pants should be black, gray, maybe brown, perhaps with a pattern. Black is your best bet. Exception: If you have an entire khakis suit then it is ok.

2) Have at least one piece of jackass wear: Nothing says fuck you better then a loud tie or pinstripe pants.

3) Pinstripes: Feed your mobster fetish. Pinstripes are the most stylish of the patterns. Make use of them.

4) Accent your striking features: If you have beautiful blue eyes, wear a tie that matches. It dose not have to be the tie. It could be your shirt. Also if you have a nice ass make sure your pants accent that.

5) Avoid monochromes: The black tie black shirt bit sounds cool in theory but it actually just reminds people of Green Day. Exception: Monochromes are generally acceptable if they are from the waste up. Like, if your shirt and your tie are the same color. In this case it might help if the tie has a pattern or is textured.

6) Have a good belt and shoes, this is a given. No woven belts.

7) Don’t be afraid do speak your own sense of style to a certain extent. If something speaks to you as totally awesome, wear it, but don’t talk about how cool you think it is while you wear it.

Adam’s guide to female homecoming apparel:

1) Wear a dress if you have to.

Let's Talk About Love, Part Deux

Lately, in my life, everything has been about timing. In some cases, incredibly good timing, and yet in other cases, suchs as relationships, inexplicably bad timing. It is insane how God works.

Heres the thing, they say when you meet "the one" that you will just know you are meant to be with that person. Now, I ain't talking about "the one" because I am 17 years old and I don't want to get married for at least 12 more years (I have a lot of shit to do before I want to put up with someone else's shit for all eternity). I'm talking about...the one person you are supposed to be with at the present time. Basically any guys I would date now is just preparing me for the one unfortunate fella that chooses to marry me. What if these present relationships teach you something so crucial they influence you on choosing your future spouse? And what if you have bad judgement now and choose the wrong relationship? I've heard it said that what we do now will reap our benefits later, it seems natural that that statement applies with relationships too. What if a girl is constantly choosing the wrong guy over and over again? Will she learn or will history repeat? It is all so unimportant when a senior girl has college, grades, activities, parents, cars, and jobs to worry about right now, add in relationship troubles and you got a break down. Why can't we just know who we are meant to be with right now?
