Wednesday has been cancelled due to lack of interest. So go away.

Irony

Answer me this: what in the hec is irony? `Cause I don't get it. Pathetic, isn't it? I know.
But it still confuses me. Like the concept of the universe being an ever expanding ball of matter, zillions of times bigger than earth. And it's all made up of a gazillion-zillion-million microscopic atoms!

Anyway,

irony's always confused me, but most of the time you here it on T.V., like when I heard it on Spongebob Squarepants. But I don't care. It's not like I really need to know what irony is.

Blog Evil Blog

So I have this friend and she has a blog too. But it's about the most random things. Well, maybe I should say evil things. Here: www.blogevilblog.blogspot.com It was really sort of crazy.

I think I'm going to give this blog a makeover. =P

FINALLY!!!!!!

I asked him out today.

This is exactly how it went down:

My friends and I were walking to the spot where we get picked up. When we got there, I waited for him and his friends. when they got there, I took him aside immediately, tired of my friend clawing at me to ask him. I asked him. He said no, and that was it.

I was so relieved! This whole sticky business was finally done with. But you know what? I actually sort of wanted him to say yes. My other friend who was tired of this too, told me that if I'd asked him earlier, he would have said yes. Whatever. It's not like I wanted to ask him in the first place.

Artistic Expression

Who's heard of Green Day? I have. And it seems to me that in all of their songs, they make fun of the government, or say it's stupid. Like in Holiday and American Idiot.

In American Idiot, Green Day claims that our nation is controlled by the media, and that's how the government keeps everyone here and convinces other countries that we're the best country in the world.

In Holiday, Billy Joe (I think) talks about nuclear war and things like that. He also talks about killing gays or something like that. Those songs are loud and very confusing.

Green Day's songs include the most judgemental and rebellious of most artistic expression in songs. But then there's the thing about cussing. Both those two Green Day songs have some sort of cuss word in them. And even in James Blunt (which really surprised me, James Blunt is such a wimp)! It sucks for kids who want those songs and can't find clean versions. Like Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.

My shift key's all sucky today. Just thought I'd share that.

More surprises

Remember that guy I used to like? Well now he likes me! And my friends want me to ask him out because he doesn't want to ask me. But I didn't. And now they're probably going to force me to on Tuesday, and I'm totally freaking out.

Maybe this'll all work out, maybe it won't. I just don't want him to hate me more then he already does. Or did, now that he likes me.

If only I had the courage to ask him!

Coincidence?

Today I went walking with my dog and my brothers.

We walked by my old elementary school and guess who was there? The guy I used to like. Which made it crazy strange, because normally, I would think about what would happen if he was there. But this time I didn't.

Coincidence?

I think not. Things happen when you least expect them, and this time, I didn't expect it. So coincidence be it not.

But he still made my whole walk strange, and now I wonder, why? If it wasn't a coincidence, it had to have happened for a reason. What was that reason? If only I could ask him, but I can't do that. It's basically social suicide. And I cannot afford that right now. I'm already on shaky ground with my friends for being a butt head. (No comment!)

That still brings me back to my original problem, why was he there? He wasn't there with his best friend, he was there with his older brother's friends.

Why?

Why?

WHY!?!?

POLITICS! (for real this time)

Our political system in the U.S. is a competitive popularity contest. And none of the candidates ever do what they promise, it's common knowledge! The battle between republicans and democrats has my head spinning sometimes.

Have you seen that commercial where there are a bunch of kids wearing half-donkey half-elephant symbols? If we just combined the democrats and Republicans to get something like demolicans or republicrats, and conjoined the best ideas from both parties, we would probably have a better collective government.

Personally though, I don't think either party's better. But I do think they may have their own pros and cons. And what about those political parties that no one pays attention to? Like Green Peace or something. Maybe one of their presidential candidates should win the '08 election. I wonder what would happen then.

That's it then.

I wasn't made in China and the chain reaction theory

We are so totally dependent on other countries it's scary.

Like China. If China had a great depression like the one back in the 30's, our economy would collapse. We would have nothing at all because most of the stuff we own comes from China. Just take a look at the tag on your favorite shirt, I'll bet you five bucks it says "Made in China" on it. And if it doesn't, it probably has the name of some other over populated country, like Mexico. I bet the other half of all the things you own come from somewhere south of the United States.

Even though most of our food doesn't come from other countries though, in a few years, store will probably start selling kung pao flavored baby food. Hold me on that. And at my school, there serve Asian food for lunch. Which most people eat, but.... I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.

But my point is, is that we're so dependent on countries like China, if they had a depression, we would all suffer a lot. More than you can even imagine.

Music: What would we do without it?

I love music.

It's like water for the soul.

Everyday when I come home from school, I listen to the radio or my Ipod. Most of the time I read a book at the same time, and I change the songs around to fit the mood of the story, like if something sad happens, I play a sad song.

And most of the time, songs came make you feel better too. Like fast songs when you're hyper (or high! =P). And when I listen to some songs, I can feel the depth of the feeling the artist was trying to portray, well if the song has any feeling!

And most people play an instrument. I play the saxophone, and it's exciting to play songs I really like and a challenge when I get to play full-page songs. Or when I figure out the tune of a song like "Take You There" by Sean Kingston. That was fun to play.

But most people only play an instrument to get famous, like the huge amount of people who play guitar. Do they really enjoy playing? Or do they think it's cool, and want to be famous like their favorite rock star. Maybe you could point that finger at me too though. I guess I mostly play so I can join the jazz band at my school, then shove it in the faces of all the people who make fun of me and think I'm worthless. But I do enjoy it. That has to count for something, doesn't it?

They also say music soothes the savage beast. Although I don't think that's entirely true, if you say that AC/DC soothes an English teacher. But in some cases it's true. Remember what I said about songs and your mood? You could play a cool, calm song that could, in theory, make you stop jumping around and calm you down. And probably make you less tense. If your mom's in a bad mood, you could just turn on something quiet and calming, like jazz, or something else nice.

POLITICS! (jk)

My brothers are overweight.

So today I started a health log, to help them lose weight. So far, so good! But I wonder if they'll be able to hold out. My younger brother can't even run properly! Which is bad. Hopefully they can do it.I'll keep you updated on how they do, and as soon as I can, I'll put up the chart.

If time is money, what's money?

Hi. Y'know, I thought the weirdest thing yesterday,

Time is a mental barrier we have built for ourselves to prevent us from doing fun stuff, like going to Disneyland. Ex: you ask your parents if you can go to Disneyland, but what do they say? "Sorry, but we don't have enough time." or something like that.

Money is a physical barrier we've built for ourselves too. Like, "Sorry, but we don't have enough money." blah blah blah. Which made me wonder, what if we didn't have time? What if time didn't exist? And money? What about it? That made my head hurt. So I stopped.

But what if we didn't have time? We would still measure months/days/weeks/years but not actually hours. Ther'd be no such thing as 12:45 PM. It just wouldn't exist. We would be able to do anything we wanted because we had time. Or rather, not, because it wouldn't exist. Do you see how backwards this is? Whatever. I'm starting to get head cramps anyway. Just go back to looking at the totally unrelated picture of the dolphin.
