Its a bird its a plane its...

This blog has nothing to do with superman sorry...



But I saw the movie 2012 today. I thought I was pretty good...



(sorry if i give away the movie.)



But there was only a few mob/riot scenes and if you think about it that ruins the the feeling of "this could actually happen" in the movie. Seriously the suicide rate is going to skyrocket in 2012, the looting is going to be crazy, or stock market is going to crash, crime rates are going to go up. Global warming, or some freak weather wont kill us. Were going to kill ourselves in fear.





There was a scene in the movie where a huge volcano is exploding and ash,lava, and rock are flying everywhere. Theirs one of those guys who holds the sign " the end is near" sign on the side of the road, long hair, beard. the whole deal. On top of a mountain, his arms wide open yelling " HERE IT IS!" and" OH MAN I GOT GOOSEBUMPS" pretty much saying " I feel it. I feel death" in a bunch of different ways and i decided...if I'm gonna go out, i wanna go out like he did. Some crazy way, and me just accepting it on top of the world. Crazy stuff man...

LIVESTRONG

LIVESTRONG.

That word to me means a lot, I don't really know why though. Because I don't have cancer, Or none of my close relatives have cancer.

But that shade of yellow...how the Strong is cleverly cut deeper into the rubber. Or maybe it because it says live strong. Meaning live your life in a strong manner, never let the weight of the world bring you to your knees.

These bracelets mean a lot to me, there like a sticky note on the fridge, or a string tied in a bow on your finger. Live strong, mentally and physically. And keep moving forward.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger - TI

Really?

You turn on the Television. Its the evening news the anchor man says in an exciting voice "Stay tuned to here the sad story of how (insert name here) killed for Innocent people on (insert day of the week) "

Really? To have people watch the news longer we put the "juicy" stories at the end? Is it just me or is that sick?

Edward Cullen is a synonym for "perfect guy". Really?


Thanksgiving has turned into a holiday where you meet up with people and eat food. Americans have a national holiday where they say thank you a lot and eat until they almost barf. Really?

...

I am STRONG because I am weak.
I am Beautiful because I know my flaws.
I am a LOVER because I am a fighter.
I am FEARLESS because I have been afraid.
I am WISE because I have been foolish,
and I can LAUGH because I have known sadness.

Purple.

So a long time ago someone told me " Mike your a leader not a follower. The crowds behind you, and your future is in front of you"
I thought that was the coolest thing...

But last year i decided to stop being a leader. I decided not to be a follower either. I decided to be me.

I decided to stop listening to music that didn't mean anything to me. Stop dressing like everyone else. Be DIFFERENT.

So most of my Ipod has what i think is really good music on it, that most of the school has never heard of. I rock out in sweatpants and sweatshirts. And talk the way i want to talk.

So i noticed not everyone knows my name, and i could care less. I noticed that people liked me for who i am. Not for what i look like.

I call myself Purple, because that's who i want to be. Not that I'm not proud of what i am, Its my proof that i can be whoever i want to be..

School.

Have you guys noticed that our history teachers teach us about the government, then probably go home and complain about health care, and our president. But they only teach us about the government 100s of years ago. They don't dare say a word about stimulus plans or recessions.

No one teaches us about music. But music has shaped our culture. So shouldn't it be? I mean there is music class...But you sing songs no one has ever heard.

Satan's hand begins the end And frees the world forever Gomorrah's dream to live in sin Has reached it's critical mass Man himself has become God And laughs at his destruction In which we trust a secret government Is now in total collapse. - slayer.

I mean lyrics tell us more then any "educated" person can.

Or we read story's about urban environments where people are being bullied or raped. But does anyone tell us how to deal with that if it happens to us? What if our dads get drunk and hit our mom? What if someone offers you drugs? What do we do? Find X? Learn how to spell words?

Its a different world out there then what it used to be.

So why don't they teach us differently?


Our grocery store clerks didn't finish college.

We need math why?

Its predicted that a 4Th of our population first language is going to be Spanish in a few years.

We need English why?


The only science people know is how to grow pot.

And history...why waste our time when were killing ourselves?


I know we need this stuff... But seriously, whats the point anymore if there not going to teach us stuff we need. We cant do math when every ones losing there jobs...

-.-

OK I'm sorry but I have to say something,

Has anyone noticed that the more horrifying the death, the more news time it gets. If some amazing woman dies in a car accident they will get on the evening news for a few seconds and might get in the paper. But if some sick man goes out and rapes and kills 4 people shoves them in a bag and throws them in a lake. Everyone cares...

Are we that sick? To not care enough to respect people who die of natural causes and treat people who are cut into pieces like movie stars?

I hate it. I HATE IT I HATE IT!

“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.”
- Popularized by Bob Marley in the song War

Hmmm?

So there are 1000s of religions in the world. And many, many gods and higher beings.

But most of the world all believe in one religions end. The Mayans.

2012. Were all going to die?

But we all believe in different things. So why should we freak out about a calender, that we hardly follow.


Does that make sense?

QUESTION:

Why are we so racist?

We brought black or colored men and women to our country.
But we don't want them here...

We let Asian me and women immigrate to our country. But we make racist jokes about them..

We put up a fence between our country and Mexico.

Why? We let them come here for what? So we can discriminate against you?

And you come here to do the same?

I don't understand...

=]

- The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington engineering mid-term. The answer was so "profound" that the Professor shared it with colleagues, and the sharing obviously hasn't ceased...Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or Endothermic (absorbs heat)?Most of the students wrote Proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let us look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.So which is it?If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you.", and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze."This student received the only A. - Unknown

LOVE?

I've thought for a long time what I thought love was. Is it just a word? Is it a feeling? Is it something so much more?


What if the person who invented the word thought that if you were in a relationship with someone, instead of liking them you loved them. And if you weren't in a relationship with them you liked them... What if its just a word. What if there is no love, that would explain why theres so much war and hate.

And if its more then a word...

How can we ever know for sure if were in love. What if you marry someone and think you love them for years. But they die in a car accident and you morn there death for a time. But you start dating again and soon marry someone new. And you realize you love them more then your first partner. If love is such a strong emotion then if you love someone more does that mean you never really loved the first person? How can you ever know if your truly in love...what if you think someones perfect and they pass and then someone new comes. And there even more perfect. and then then they pass. And then another person comes and there even more perfect... and so on. How can you know?


What if no one knows what love is... What if its just another thing we cant explain.

What if love is when you get butterflies, and when you only want to hold someone forever. Or when you trust someone, and love them like a friend.

But someone explain this to me!

Another way to say sex, is making love. And then "fuck" Sorry for the language.

F-u-c-k
L-o-v-e

Thats what this world has come to...

any questions?

What if...

What if we all just stopped...

The world stopped turning..

The war stopped.

The global warming stopped.

And we all sat down and thought for a second. What if...

What if we started over. Not ALL over, but go back a few decades. So we can stop ourselves from well...killing ourselves.

What if Abraham Lincoln decided he shouldn't stop slavery...

What if those men didn't fly the planes into the world trade center...

What if we never invented the wheel? Would we be able to fly that plane? Would we be able to build those sky scrapers?

What if we didn't know about fire? Would there be war?

What if... we didn't talk of peace. We lived it.

What if everything STOPPED. And we realized what we have become?

OK so I don't know why I do this. But I follow most blogs twice on accident. So sorry 0.o


So the swim meeting for school is on Tuesday. And I don't want to swim last year.

I was the 20th fastest swimmer in the state. And our relay team was 11. I would be the captain on the swim team this year. And probably go to states again like i did last year. But I don't want to swim. I don't even know why, I just don't want to...

I've been asked many times if I'm going to swim this year. People try to convince me to swim. But they all say the same things "The teams going to suck without you!" or "swim practice is going to be no fun without you"
I really don't know what it is...Maybe its the fact that no matter how hard I try I will never be able to do my best. You can never be perfect in a sport. But in swimming every millisecond counts. I can stand in front of hundreds of people in a little tight swimsuit without a worry. But the war inside me, the constant thought in my head "you could have done better" I cant take.

Today was a good day. I'm starting to have peace with myself again. I'm speaking in a softer tone. I'm listening to people. Its nice =]
