While I'm At It (and full of opinions)

Political-Why does it seem like our politicians are intent on sinking the whole freaking country? it disgusts me. stupid people. like seriously, we dont need health care! if you want socialized health care, move to freaking canada. hello?? Also, the Republican retaking of Congress... it can be a good thing. But I just happen to think that we need to get rid of ALL of the politicians that have lied to their constituents. All of them. And, we need to cut pork out of the bills. And return the TARP money, FREEZE spending, and also reduce the deficit. Easy ideas. They can be accomplished, but the wonderful idiots on Capitol Hill have decided that it is a good idea to spend like money is going out of style.

Fake people- Hmm. This is a topic that I am always happy to talk about:) I go to school with a bunch of these people! People who act like they are your friends, but then the next second, they are not. It never ceases to amaze me. People, act like who you are. It is SO much easier. It really is a simple idea. If you act like who you are, more people will like you. AND you don't get caught up in a lie:)

Events- everything happens for a reason, even if we do not know the reason. everything works out in the end. we just gotta keep believing... if you stop, then what do you have? A LOT has happened recently, and I am trying to keep a positive attitude. It is hard, but I have to try. Things happen. It is your lot in life. You need to make the best, and try to see the good in what has happened.

Snow- Over the past 2 months, it has snowed three times, and two of them have been pretty good snows. I personally love snow. Not enough to live with it all winter, but enough to enjoy it every time we get it. Where I live, life slows down for snow, which can be quite annoying. But, I love how we get some time to sleep and relax, and the cleanness of the snow. It's pure white. Like washing away the bad there is. It is pretty, and the air is crisp outside when it does happen to snow. I love the smell of snow. and the way footprints look in it. I also love the way that flowers look under snow. It's just a cool thing. Every time it does snow, I try to take pictures if it in some way, shape, or form. I just like it:). There are the losers who whine about snow. They need to move to California or Florida. Snow is part of winter. Enjoy the season! (:

Valentines Day- What is the big deal with this day? Call my cynical, but I really don't have a strong love for Valentines. I prefer Singles Awareness Day, or SAD. It really gets on my nerves to see all of the happy, lovey dovey couples draped all over each other, in their happy bubbles, while those of use who are single, or those of us in high school who haven't found the love of our lives yet, get to sit and watch them. It really gets annoying. Lord forbid you be single on Valentines. It's one of the only days of the year that you really get to see how single you are. Yes, there are the people that are older, and supposedly wise, who say that being single is good. It definitely has it's advantages, but then there are the people who treat you like an untouchable because you are single. Or the people that subconsciously look down on you because you are single. I know a few. And then there are the people who ask you why you are single. I don't know! Ask the girls at my school. They would know, as they are the opposite sex.

College- Recently, I have begun to look forward to college. In a way, I dread it, but I kind of look forward to it. I look forward to seeing colleges, I look forward to experiencing something new. But, at the same time, I kinda fear losing the pieces of childhood I have left. I dread leaving a school I will have been at for 13 years. That is a huge chunk of my life! I have over two years left to go, but there are a lot of people who ask where I want to go, what I am thinking about doing, where I am thinking about going. So, I have to think about it. It's just one of those things. I have gotten a lot of info in the mail about colleges, and letters, and emails, and packets. I am starting to see what is out there, which is good. It's just scary to think about. And then, there is Junior year, which is starting at me, with its evil math, and its APUSH. Yikes. I just need to survive the next few years in high school, while looking at colleges. So much to do. So little time. And life is kicking into high gear, so that will make things more interesting, for sure.

Drivers- Yes, I am a new driver. Yes, I do not have a ton of experience. But I do have shreds of common sense, and I have parents who let me drive a lot, and who are good drivers. And grandparents who can drive. So, here it goes. What is up with the pokey drivers? Maybe it's those wonderful southern drivers in Charlotte, but seriously, one of my biggest pet peeves is people who can't find the gas! It is not hard! I may speed a tad, and I may be a tad aggressive, but slow drivers are more dangerous. People who poke around on the interstate are DANGEROUS. I think that people who go slow should be pulled, not the fast ones. They usually can drive. I honk at the slow ones, but they still need to go fast! Just go 5 over. It is not hard to do, and it helps traffic move along at a good pace. I know people think that speeding is dangerous, and it can definitely be, but keeping up with traffic, not holding it up, is good! It is safe! It also doesn't drive fellow drivers to insanity:) Also, people need to put the phone down, quit texting, or call the person, and keep driving. Don't watch your phone while you are driving. It distracts, is dangerous, and makes you slow. Go through the light, don't sit there!:)

You Guys vs. Ya'll- I prefer You Guys. It makes you sound more educated, and it not dragged out. Just my opinion.


Frustration- I feel kinda unappreciated at the moment (or I did earlier today...) at my student run newspaper. I am the editor, which I love, don't get me wrong. But I have given them a lot of ideas, and new layouts, and I feel like they don't like them because they aren't the original. I came on board to give it a facelift. I did not like the layout that much. Then, I find out that they don't like where I put events, and my letter from the editor. It was apparently too long. I did that to fill in white space. Well, I had a chat with a few members, and we had some pep talks, so I feel a little better now. We shall see how this topic develops. (Written on 2.15.10. because I did not feel like it was enough space to justify its own post.)


Blogs- Yes, they can be pathetic, but they are a good way of venting, sharing, getting word out, etc. I enjoy it more than I thought I would, so if you are considering getting one, get one, and I will follow it if I think about it! It really isn't as lame as I thought it would be!

There will be more blogging to come in the future. I really enjoy this:) These are my opinions of the moment. I definitely have more, this is what I am sharing today! How do you share yours?
