You CANNOT be SERIOUS

Wait.. this isn't forreals is it? There's no way! This class has not been going on for a whole semester. Paris has been such a blast. At the beginning I didn't expect to get much outta Paris to be completely honest. I thought hey this class will be a breeze and I can just blow through this class like I never took it and still get the high school credits I needed. Yet when we started to write on our blogs I realized for the first time how much writing can be a stress reliever.. I had a bad day where nothing was going right and I wasn't excited to have to write on my blog about anything, then I started writing and everything just kinda cleared up like nothing ever happened. It was crazy. It sounds cliche but seriously I never realized I could enjoy writing this much. It doesn't matter whether or not I was good at writing because the times that I felt most at peace with Paris were the times that I was actually writing for myself rather than to please my audience.

"Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky;

And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.

As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back;

For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack."

--In the novel The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling--

Another Siri

Sounds to me like "Siri" is getting ready to take over the world.

 Believe by The Bravery

the faces all around me they don't smile they just crack
Waiting for our ship to come but our ships not coming back
We do our time like pennies in a jar
What are we saving for [x2]

There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins.
The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins
We sit and grow our roots into the floor
But what are we waiting for? [x2]

[chorus:]
So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe

Something's always coming you can hear it in the ground
It swells into the air
With the rising
Rising sound
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors
What are we waiting for [x2]

[chorus]

I am hiding from some beast
But the beast was always here
Watching without eyes
Because the beast is just my fear
That I am just nothing
Now its just what I've become
What am I waiting for
Its already done

Oh

[chorus]

I am so lonely

FIFA

This is the most wonderful gift from god. If there was no such thing as FIFA I don't even know what I would do. It is such a time waster but such a fun game. You need to give me a challenge in FIFA to earn my respect.

Goosebumps every time

Instructions on having a fun weekend

First off, to have a good weekend you need to get some friends together. Boys, girls, whoever! Just get some people together who know how to have a good time!

Second, find out something to do. Something that just stands out to everyone when you say it. If everybody isn't okay with the idea then they could ruin it for everyone else!

Third, go out and do whatever activity it is you are planning on doing. Be outgoing! Maybe invite people you haven't talked to very much but you would like to know better to come and do the activity with you! You never know what may happen and how much fun it could be until you try it!

Fourth, Have an open mind about doing the activity. Whether it be something you're scared of doing or just something you don't want to do. Just be open and have fun with it! You may end up liking it more than you think.

Stolen from Jeff Bethke

Now back to the topic, one thing I think is vital to mention,
How Jesus and religion are on opposite spectrums,
One is the work of God one is a man made invention,
One is the cure and one is the infection.
Because Religion says do, Jesus says done.
Religion says slave, Jesus says son,
Religion puts you in shackles but Jesus sets you free.
Religion makes you blind, but Jesus lets you see.



This man is an utter genius. Why do we discriminate against everyone when we are all worshipping the technically same god? It is in our human nature to so strictly believe that we are always right and perfect when in all really we are not. I just wish people would start realizing this and make the world such a better and more pleasant place.

November teen pregnancy at an all time low

This November has been one the best months ever for teen pregnancy's and the main reason many teenage boys are claiming is that Halo 4 and Call of Duty Black Ops 2 have both been released this month.

All the teenage boys are too lazy to go and actually hangout with girls this month because they are busy playing these two amazing video games.

To all you ladies looking to hangout with your boyfriend or boys in general this month, I suggest you start making plans without them at least until after Christmas when the complete awe of these well made time wasters start to wear off.

Thank you for your time and hope you enjoy!

Title-less(Like AF) *ZING*

The brown cow says moo to the chicken. The chicken laughs like a hyena. The man sees a moon and howls like a werewolf as the moon light burns down upon his outer extermities.

That is the stupidest post you will ever read in your life. And honestly I hope I didn't make you read that because I totally just wasted some of your time.

Memories

My "I remember" post is a piece of crap. No literally though.

So I went down to Lake Powell on a trip with my family. Some of my aunts, uncles, and cousins came with us as well. When we got down there we were all really excited to have a week away on the lake and to find the perfect slot canyon to go park our houseboat in and just explore and have fun. Except for the fact that the houseboat that we rented out with it had one problem.

That problem was that the "poop tank" as we called it, was completely full... We only figured this out too once somebody had to go to the bathroom and went in and after they finished their business noticed that they could see the all the previous "jobs" complete that everyone with the houseboat before had finished.

For the majority of our trip down in Lake Powell, we had our houseboat parked next to a pumping station where we could slowly remove some of the waste in the poop tank. We spent several hours on it each day for it to only go down a couple inches.

It was one of the best and worst trips i have ever had but truly I will never forget this trip.

Mistakes

Had a good talk with a pretty close friend of mine today. This person was telling me about this personal story going around about them that they have no control over. They are getting harassed daily and called some pretty nasty things for ONE mistake that they made that went public.

Nothing is more frustrating to me than this. I don't mean to get all religious here but honestly who hasn't made a mistake? So why do people go around shoving other peoples mistakes back in their face when they know that they have made mistakes during their life too? It's so frustrating that people can be so blind to the feelings of others.

Sorry for the venting session but I just felt it necessary in this situation right now. Now please take my words of advice, Don't go out and be a jerk to people, you never know what they have going on in their life and what could happen if you said something.

The Unknown

This is the most general post. There are so many unknowns that I can write about. I can write about my unknown future. I can write about my unknown friendships. about my unkown challenges. I could write about so many different unknown's that it is unknown what I might even be talking about.

Right now I am so lost as to what is going on. I am stuck in the middle of an argument and I can clearly see both sides of the argument and why they think each other are at fault. So I just have no idea what I am supposed to do.

You & I

You & I
We are both humans. Aren't we?
I'll admit it. I'm not perfect. I've made mistakes.
Done things I wish I had never done. But that doesn't make me a worse person than you are.
And it pisses me off when people think they are better than you because of the mistakes you made.
Are you trying to tell me that in all the time you have lived here on this earth, you have never said, done, or recognized that you have done something wrong? That's just straight up garbage.
I don't mean to be on the downer side of things but its frustrating.
Stop looking down on me. "Just because I sin differently than you do"-bumper sticker from the big GenConf.

Orders from the big guy upstairs.

I sat there for a moment and thought about what I spell out using the letters in "Direct & Orders" that would kinda relate with what I could give orders too.

But that was an utter failure. So anyways, now onto something that actually matters.


I give you direct orders to party harder than LMFAO does. (JK don't. That might get you screwed)
I give you direct orders to fall in love. You can't experience life's ups and downs if you don't.
I give you direct orders to go out and do what you WANT and not what is "normal".
I give you direct orders to go out and go HAM to some dubstep cuz dat shiii*** gets intense!
I give you direct orders to use that brain of yours. You have it for a reason.
I give you direct orders to sing Justin Bieber loud & proud.
I give you direct orders to completely disobey that last line.
I give you direct orders to #hashtag# at least once a senetence #Partyatmyhouse?
I give you direct orders to chase after that special someone. Either way it always works out.
I give you direct orders to listen to "EYES FOR YOU" by The All Ways

For my grade.

Tonight is just one of those nights where I feel like I'm writing just to get the points. I couldn't care less what I write about as long as I get those 10 points. I don't like when it has to be that way but honestly I just am exhausted right now. It happens to even the best of us though, when we just do something because we have to, and it ends up being a HALF A**'d. Too bad it's not something you can just change. Or do quickly.

This blog post sucks. I make no sense. Its too late. Been a long weekend. I'm done making an idiot out of myself. So peace out my homies. #YOLO

The most interesting man...

The worlds most interesting man once wrote a whole english blog simply by throwing a brick at it.
He once saved the planet earth from a nuclear bomb by making a net out of duct tape and catching the bomb.
He once used duct tape to keep all the rappers (especially @T.I.P) from going off on the H$$D aka HOOD.
He once used a brick to stand taller than his girlfriend.
He once used a brick as an iphone and downloaded angry birds on it... He beat it in one sitting.

I walk out the door with everything in hand. Trying to get focused and ignore all the worldly things going on at the moment. Get my phone and headphones, "plug" myself into the phone through headphones and bump to some Eminem, 50 cent, J cole, Kanye, Jay Z, etc.

The car ride there is all about focusing and imagining. Imagining that you are going to play the best game you have ever played in your life. Focus on scoring the game winning goal, setting up the perfect ball for the assist, & beating the defender so badly he trips over himself.

Now we are at the field. It's time to put all of the focusing and dreaming to use now. Focus as the first warm-up cross is rolling to you, take a deep breath, picture the corner where you want the ball to land, and hit the ball with the perfect balance of pace, curve, and power.

Walking off the field in the last few crucial moments before the game. Get some water, take a few deep breaths, thinking about what you are going to do this game. Walk to the circle, putting your hand in and offering encouraging words to the rest of your teammates to help motivate them to play their best just like you will try to.

You are walking out on the field. Getting the muscles that need it a quick stretch. Lining up on the line. Knowing that the ball is coming to you at the beginning and that you need to start tough from the second the whistle blows.

And then there it goes, the ref blows the whistle, your teammate passes the ball, you run off sprinting, waiting for the ball to come to you. You look back and see it right there, take a good touch to the middle of the field, and swing your leg back and kick the ball with every ounce strength you have in it. And you watch the ball as it moves in what looks like slow motion into the GOAL.

Death and Life

The title already throws me off. You never hear somebody say it that way. It's always Life and Death.
Is it because we live our LIFE first and then we slowly begin to fade until our DEATH.
What if this LIFE we are living right now is really our DEATH? And once we die we will experience LIFE?

LIFE & DEATH

DEATH & LIFE

Complete opposites yet they almost seem like they are Completely alike to some.
When you experiment with life, you tend to realize how quickly death could come to you.
Or vice versa, when you experiment with death, you realize how precious life is.

DEATH is like the COP. LIFE is like the line you need to walk.
If you are "drunk" at all, odds are you will cross the white line and pass on.
The goal in life is to keep yourself from having this ever happen.

LIFE&DEATH
DEATH&LIFE

Thoughts

With me being a teenage boy in high school, there are a very limited number of thoughts that go through my head everyday. It's just easier to turn off your brain in the easier classes and make it seem like you're paying it attention but have absolutely no motivation to give a hint of effort in these classes, to talk to other people at school you might not want to, or to get to your classes on time.

Some of the thoughts I have going through my head are:

"When will this class be over?"

"Aww dang, she is attractive..."

"I wonder what we are doing for soccer today. Hopefully not conditioning.."

"Finally someone text me."

"Should I fall asleep in this class or not?"

That is only some of the thoughts I have during an average day at school. Completely mindless thoughts that a four year old could easily "up".

Social Norms

Why do we even have social norms? I understand WHY we have them but I don't understand why we follow them. It might be that its just the way I see it but I don't get why we have to be normal. We are all here to be born and work to be anything but normal. So why do we always talk about breaking away and living our lives the way others expect us to live it and NOT the way we want to live it. If you want to be a certain something for your career, why not just BE what you want want to be? People nowadays are always trying to look at themselves from the outside in and correct themselves to be more socially "normal". If you just act YOURSELF, you will have so much more fun living your life here on Earth. So to finish this off, add all the bolds together and follow those words of advice from you to me.

FEAR

Fear is very similar to love in the way that I see it. It can change the way you act around people and it can change your emotions in an instance. It can make you run away and want to hide but so curious that you want to peek your head out and see what its all about. But it might be right there waiting for you, waiting for the perfect moment to attack.

Fear, it can drive man it the hardest of struggles. Whether you are worried about defending your nation from the loss of freedom or something as small as just the fear of your grade depending on this one test. Fear can change the whole game. The fear of it being your last high school game ever, you are down by a touchdown, with 10 seconds left. Fear changes the way you look at situations.

Even Siri has to guess what love is...

Crazy in Love or Love is Crazy?

The definition of LOVE. Love is Crazy. Because you can be Crazy in Love. Even to this day nobody has been able to come up with a real, strong, and appropriate definition for love. It can make you act like a love drunk maniac, it can make you act like you normally wouldn't, and it can make you feel like you've never felt before. They say love is blind. But at the same time its not because you see what you want out of love, yet it seems so far that you can't reach it.

The Wonderful Story of Humans

Whether you believe that humans came from the fall of Adam & Eve or from the evolution of apes, it doesn't matter. Humans are what they are because of how special, different, and amazing they are. They can do so many different amazing things. We are built to be a lasting supreme society that will live on this earth. When times are tough, we work together. And i think that is one of the greatest things humans can do. When everybody is struggling, but they get together and unite for a single cause to help bring peace back to their cause, is just amazing. For example with 9/11 approaching, it reminds me of one the most devastating times America has ever had. But it also reminds of the amazing heart, love, and unity that you could feel all the way across the country in Utah, California, Nevada, etc. Just knowing that we were all in on it together to make America a much more happy and pleasant place after such a tragedy. You could just feel the heartbreak in the air after 9/11. But we helped get through the challenging times together and that is one of of my favorite things about humans.

Humans are awesome

iNTRO

The world is turning everything towards your "i", no not your eye, but your iPhone, iPod, & iPad. Even including me i have started to see things with my "i" rather than my eye. I want to start seeing the world in a different way than the "i" way. This is how I plan on doing it.
