Oh loving Internet.

Or.... just because I'm a
loner with no life

I'm baaaaack! It's been like... eternity since I've been here! Oh my Internet friends, I'm sure you all are disappointed in me. In fact, I am disappointed in myself. So disappointed, that I wrote a poem to show my feelings.

I'm kidding.

I didn't actually.

But that's what improv is all about!

Oh how I yearn,
for my steady hands on the keyboard.
Typing out my thoughts,
(that no one ever reads anyways).
But guess what?
I am back, refreshed,
proving to you that I actually do have a life.


Not too shabby!

So, what has kept me so busy that I am unable to spare a minute to let you know I'm still alive? Well, I haven't been that busy...

First, I had exams.

Blah.

I was a complete and utter mess. And then it turned out to be pointless... I did alright, I guess.

THEN I got to go to fiddle camp.

As a keyboard accompanist. Because I suck at the fiddle. Because the violin for dummies book IS REALLY COMPLICATED =/

My favourite part you may ask? Sitting on the roof in the middle of the night playing card games. Awww yeah! Oh and swimming in the creek.

So a quick summary on fiddle camp; I got 20 hours of sleep over 6 day, I had a lot of fun, and I didn't want to leave.

I got home and I slept. And I slept some more, and I slept some more. The first day home, I slept 19 out of 24 hours!

Then, last week I was at family camp. With my G-ma and G-pa (I feel so gansta). Fun? Yeah. I felt like kind of a loner though, I didn't really DO much. Well, I will update you more on that later.



And now I'm home. And finally ready to return to the world of the Internet. So hello, my friends! Good to see you again! I hope you don't hate me for deserting you.... I didn't mean to! TTFN!!!! (ahhh good ol' winnie the pooh)

Grenades

So I have been listening to the radio lately, and this song has been fairly popular. So, because I couldn't think of another "G" word, I'll show you my thoughts on the song

Grenade - by Bruno Mars

Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give (ok, so I have to admit, this is pretty cool)

Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss,
Why were they open? (seriously, dude, in order to know her eyes were open yours would have to be)

Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked,
Cause what you don't understand is
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah) (Uh.... I don't believe you!)

Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah) (Ok, maaaaaybe this one)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah) (No way man, he has way too much money for that)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,  (Sure buddy, you just keep thinking that)
Yes, I would die for ya baby; (Oh I'm sure you would. Nice try.)
But you won't do the same (If only.)


No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue beat me till I'm numb
Tell the devil I said “hey” when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman, (Obviously, you don't love her. She's bad.)
That's just what you are, yeah,
You’ll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my car (This verse is amazing! Best in the song)
(I just skipped the chorus again)
If my body was on fire, ooh
You’ d watch me burn down in flames (Yes, I would. And so would she.)
You said you loved me you're a liar (Can't you take a hint?!?!)
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby...

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!!! =)

Hmmm

     I don't really like to post this early in the morning, because I would rather be SLEEPING!!!! (as she trys to drop a hint to the inside of her brain...) Sleep thou not come if thou drank coffee, damn it. I like to think it was because I went to bed so early that by now I am fully rested.... but I don't think that's the case. Since it's like, mid-morning for some people, I guess I shouldn't be complaining. I just like my sleep, that's all. If it's after 6:00am I don't mind, but anything before that is like WTF? Ummm, hey do you know what my favorite song is? I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS!!! Seems appropriate here, since no matter how little I sleep, it is still Monday. Monday's are stupid. So here are the lyrics to that song, and really you should look it up! (Oh btw, this is one of my favorite YouTube videos... it's House if you didn't know!)

THE BOOMTOWN RATS
"I Don't Like Mondays"

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload.

And nobody's gonna go to school today,

She's going to make them stay at home.

And daddy doesn't understand it,

He always said she was as good as gold.

And he can see no reason

'Cause there are no reasons

What reason do you need to be shown?

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays.

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays.

Tell me why?

I don't like Mondays.

I want to shoot

The whole day down.

The telex machine is kept so clean

As it types to a waiting world.
And mother feels so shocked,
Father's world is rocked,
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl.
Sweet 16 ain't so peachy keen,
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat.
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?

Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
I want to shoot
The whole day down.

All the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while.
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die.
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain crackles,
With the problems and the how's and why's.
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die?

Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
I want to shoot
The whole day down.

     Wow. Amazing. Anyway, some background on it. It's written about a really sad true story about this girl who lived across the street from an elementary school and one morning went outside and started shooting at the school. I think she killed two people (police officer and the principal) and injured eight children. When she went back into the house, the police surrounded her and she was talking on the phone to reporters. When they asked her why she did it, she reportedly said "Monday's are always so boring, I just wanted to add some excitement to it". IT'S SO SAD!!!! *tear* Anyway, this song is a true work of art, because hearing it for the first time, you wouldn't really get the meaning of all the lyrics. But trust me, there is a lot of meaning, to those lyrics. I probably better go, I can use this time to study more for French! I can't believe I am not excited for that! (heavy sarcasm =)

TeeHee!

Ok, SO, have you guys ever seen Nigahiga on youtube? He is a freakin genius!!! It's like this guy and he started video tapeing himself doing funny things and now he is famous and has like 3,000,000 subscribers! I have seen everyone of his videos, but then youtube deleted the best ones because they contained copywrited material. Uh yeah! So they you can watch his video about being copywrited, which is also very good because he just makes fun of them. Check it out here!

Anyway, so I was thinking how fantastic the internet is for bringing out all these hidden talents. How else would I be able to laugh at some guy in Hawaii? Youtube is fantastic, but there's alot of crap on it too. So I just thought I would point out someone actually funny so your not stuck watching "I am cow. Here me moo. I weigh twice as much as you. And I look good, on a barbicue" (I know all the words to that song....) So yeah. This is me. Making the world a better place.....

(Oh and by the way, for all the frequent NigaHiga followers, there is a new one!)

Forced habits????

     Ok, so, this is about maturity (somewhat). Half the time, I think younger kids are more mature than older kids. I was sitting on the bus this morning, and there was frost on the windows. The kindergartners and the grade one-ers were busy making hearts and writing I love you in mirrored image so people on the outside could read it. While, as you moved farther back in the bus, the messages started getting worse. A few were stuff like "Levi is Gay" or "Billy likes dick" or whatever. Honestly, I would rather read I love you than messages like that. But all teenagers were like that... right? Once a kid. I think it's like one of those really messed up transition phases.
    Ok, I know you are either killing yourself laughing or being completely lost at that last paragraph. But to finish the topic, I have to tell you the most horrific news. Ok, you remember me talking about the little kindergartners on my bus? Well they are like my best friends. The one that is my favourite though, her name is Chloe. She is 6 years old and has flowing blonde hair. Now, whenever I am on the bus, she always sits beside me and we listen to my ipod together (now, don't get horrified, my ipod is completely swear-free and all christian music!!). Then one day, she brought her ipod and insisted we listen to it. It was one of the really old nanos with no screen. So were were listening, and at first it was stuff like crazy frog and "i like to move it move it" and stuff. But then there were a lot of songs that weren't. I started listening to the words of those songs, and in ever song, within the first verse there was something that offended me. It was full of niggers and bitches and whores. I had asked her where she had got this music and she explained it used to be her brothers ipod, and other than the fact that she didn't particularly like the songs, she saw nothing wrong with it. So here is this 6 year old girl, learning her manners from songs that I would be embarrassed being caught listening to. Now, thinking about this, I was trying to find out who her brother was. The only brother of her I know of is in Grade 4. That's right, 9 year old. Now, I don't even want to know where HE got that music, but I just wanted to point out, that some kids learn there habits from that stuff that happened when they were little. It might seem perfectly normal to them.
     Now, to change the topic I little, I have another "theory" I would like to share. So, over the years of going to school with the same people, you learn quite a bit. Now, I have to admit, some of my peers aren't the best people in the world. I mean, they are into some pretty bad things. But after being friends with them for a while, I would argue it's not their fault. They have told me stories of when they were as young as 7, being offered a smoke. Or by the time they were 10 they were drinking at home. Ok, you might not get the point yet. How many of the people in the world, do you think, have the same religion as their parents? A lot, right? That's probably because as a kid, they were told that the religion was what was right and their parents probably took them to church or other forms of religious practice. So, now, relate that to something like drugs. If you grew up at home and were told that this was right and your parents even offered you a smoke, you would probably believe them. It's not only the parents, it's the family friends, siblings, siblings friends, and soon their friends. So, with that explanation, how can you possible say that it's their fault? Just some food for thought. Ok I better go now, this post is getting quite long.... LATER MY DEDICATED VIEWERS!!!
