SONG WEEK!!!

Take a stab where I am right now.... come on guess!!!! Damn, you got it right, I'm in math class! Lol I love this unit so very much because I'm done and don't really care about the fact that I can't figure out the stupid guess in check.... oh well, I'm sure I will figure it out when the time comes =) So, now I have to think of a meaningful topic to talk about.... uh.... This is almost harder than actual math! Ok maybe not... oh oh oh I got another song for everyone! I think I shall rename this week song week! This used to be my favorite song ever!!! I just found it on my Ipod again.... and when I get off the school computer's I can put a youtube video up, but it's blocked on these computers!!!! Urgh! Anyway here, I will explain it after =):

Letters to the President, By Hawk Nelson

 When we were younger we used to sit on my porch

And talk smack about girls and professional sports

There's a lot of things I wanted to say

But never got a chance to find a way

(One) take a good look at all of our high schools

this is the first reason that I want to write you

it must be tough when society is messed up

Gotta save money, please don't take it out on us

Do they even know? Do they even know?

If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president

And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament

But for now I won't say nothing

From all the kids who would stand in my residence

Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence

But for now I won't say nothing

Now that we're older a brand new story unfolds

About God and the laws that we've always been told

And there's a lot of things I wanted to say

But never got a chance to find a way

Same-sex marriage in a state where they don't care

Murder is wrong but the jail time's not fair

Not to mention date rape, felony and car theft
Break it down and tell me what we've got left

Do they even know? Do they even know?

If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president

And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament

But for now I won't say nothing

From all the kids who would stand in my residence

Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence

As for now I'll start with something

Take a good look at Tommy, he's a track star

Good role model, has a chance to go real far

Then the school made a budget-cut

Cut out the track team

Now instead Tommy is a crack head

Same-sex marriage in a state where they don't care

Murder is wrong but the jail time's not fair

Not to mention date rape, felony, and car theft

Break it down and tell me what we've got left

If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president

And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament

But for now I won't say nothing

From all the kids who would stand in my residence

Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence

As for now I'll start with something (Woah, Woah)

As for now I'll start with something

     Ok, now I am going to completely analyze this song in the way I see it now. First it talks about just growing up and being a little bit hesitant about going further into life. Then  it explains how in the states, when money is short they stop funding high schools. If he could write a letter to the president, these are some of the things he would say. Then how growing up is so hard when your trying to fit in. It goes on to explain that the government is not really noticing how many imperfections the world is growing up in. It says same-sex marriage, which I don't really agree with. I guess if that is what some people want to do, it's their choice. "Murder is wrong but the jail times not fair" Ok, so I guess this would be true if it wasn't on purpose, like 2nd degree or whatever the degrees are, or if your mentally ill or something and then get better. But, if you had planned it and went out and did it, especially more than once, then you deserve a life sentence! I know the side that says, "well, one life's already gone, but why waste another in jail?" But you didn't just kill the person. You killed the entire family. Did you know, if their children are killed, the parents have a higher divorce rate? They can't deal with the grief. And the person probably had friends, or even just people they knew. So, if you commit murder, in my opinion, you kind of deserve a life sentence.

    Next line is "Not to mention date rape, felony, and car theft" Yeah, these things happen too. Lots of bad things happen in countries where they make things to kill people (ex GUNS!!!!) I hate guns. They scare me to death. If I had to choose I number one fear, as of yesterday, it would be guns. I have absolutely decided that a gun is more of a threat to me that a whale or a bird. But, to look on the bright side (Jennifer how could you?!?!) but, there are more kids dying in third world countries than murders and thefts here. But I do agree, they make the places we live in scary and should NOT happen!

     And my favorite part of the song (drumroll please.....) Is this line!!!: Take a good look at Tommy, he's a track star (so, he has worked hard for the past how ever many years to gain that...) Good role model, has chance to go real far (yeah, I'll say!! scholarships.... awards....) Then the school made a budget cut, cut out the track team (so, however many kids were on that team just lost inspiration) Now instead Tommy is a crackhead: =0.... My favorite part of the song. Because it's so true! And people don't often realize that. I, myself, cough cough ok this is hard for me to say.... Uh, if it wasn't for basketball.... or cross-country..... or music....  I would have gone that way too. I think. Possibly. Ooooh I'm really nervous about posting that.... Just ignore it, I just had to say it!!!! So, that's why this was my favorite song. That verse, just gets me every time. People don't often realize the amplifications of their actions. Like that could have happened because somebody decided to do all there work under the table so they didn't have to pay taxes... and when enough people do that, then the money in taxes the government gets goes down, so they can't fund schools as much as they do, so the school can't afford "luxuries" like a track team. Which means more kids go into drugs, requiring more police, and more jails, and more jail guards, and so on. Anyway, that's all I have to say. That only took like 45 mins to write!!! Damn, another half an hour of math class. Well, feel free to post what you thought. It's not like I have anything better to do lol. Wait, I have exams in less than a week... AHHHH I BETTER GO!!! SEE EVERYBODY LATER!!! =)

Negative Energy

     Today I am going to rant and rave about negative energy/hating people. I am sure that there it at least one person on earth that you really really don't like. So, what's it like to be around that person? Come on, I know you know!!! Ok for those of you saints out there, I will describe it. It's one of those things where just seeing that person puts you in a bad mood. If it's bad enough, even thinking about seeing that person ruins your moment (or writing for that matter..... blah) Well this year, I finally stopped having to talk to this person (now named Miley... haha that actually fits) but then she has to do something stupid and show up at our basketball tryouts. Wow. And that whole time, it was bad. I couldn't stand being in the same room. And I have to survive another one on Tuesday. Stupid Miley (friend: *elbows me* me: what was that for? friend: be nice me: I can't!!! she's such a ditz friend: I actually kind of like her me: ..... -_-) Ok, so yeah, that's like the first time I have actually talked about my life without having much to do..... ok wait it does have something to do!!!!

    So, now I am going to feebly try and explain how to deal with your negative energy. First of all, try to not put yourself in that position in the first place. But if it is unavoidable, then you will have to follow some tips. So, if you hate that person so much, it's pretty likely she's not so fond of you either. But the NUMBER ONE THING TO REMEMBER IS don't do anything just to piss them off. I know it is sooo very tempting, but a good rule of thumb is to ask yourself before "why exactly would I say/do that?" and if the answer is to make them mad then don't to it!!!! Another thing to remember is keep the contact to a minimum. Or make sure you are with a group of people so you don't have to talk. That's also a good one. Negative energy, at least I find, is something that is really hard to deal with. It will come and go, but you just gotta push through and try not to let it make you upset. Don't cry over spilled milk, or don't lose sleep over something not worth it. Oh and one last thing, try not to make enemies, because the more you have, the more negative you are. And I found this poem in the printer at school, and I thought it was quite fitting: 

Hate

Hatred it like a rainbow, it never ends.

It's the madness of the heart.

It flows through everyone.

You cannot hate others, without hating yourself.

Why waste your time hating someone when they don't care?

Petty glares, and snooty faces.

All just a waste of time.

Why make the effort to hate someone,

When you can just pretend they're not there?

Hate is pointless, so get over it already.

And one last shout out to my viewers, thanx so much for reading! I really appreciate the amount of people and hope you all enjoy it!! Feel free to leave a comment if you have any suggestions or questions.
