if all ur friends jumped off a bridge would you?

the title of this entry is the one question that bothers me. a lot. when i say a lot i mean i have many reasons for not liking this, but first i must tell you a scenario. If all your friends favourite colors were blue and yours was pink but then you changed it and your parents said "if all ur friends jumped off a bridge would you?" you could give them the following arguments
I. yes i would, because i would be bungee jumping, something thats totally safe and very fun.
II. no, because changing your favourite color is not life threatening, while jumping off a bridge is (this can only be used if you dont use argument I.)
III. no, because im just doing this to better my social situation and that means i wouldnt be jmping off a bridge because i wouldve graduated from hanging with the suicidical people to hanging with the normal people, all because i changed my favorite color to blue. Therefore it is life saving because you have a higher  chance of killing yourself if you hang out with the people who actually think about doing it than when you hang with the normal people.
there probably could be more arguments but im really tired an i am definetly not in the mood to think

JBIEEBS

Hello,
first off im SSOOO sorry for not posting in a week. It's been crazy lately. First we had a long weekend, then we had a two-hour delay, and now im posting. to be honest i have absoloutly no idea what to post so i guess i will talk about the Justin Beiber movie that i saw the other day. To be honest i think his story is great, and i do think he's very talented, and the fact that he's doing this as a 16 year old is pretty awesome, but it just depresses me when i see those screaming fan girls with those signs that say "the future mrs. beiber", or "i <3 JB", etc... It also depresses me when i see people walking around with justin beiber's head on their shirts, like really, do you really want to walk around with someones head on your shirt. And the fact that he's not completely weirded out by these people shocks me the most. If i was in his position i'd be like, "do me a favor and stop walking around with those shirts, it's just kinda stalker-ish and obsessive." As for the signs, he's not gonna marry a groupy. sorry ladies but he's not gonna marry you just because you know all the lyrics to his every song, and just because you go to all his concerts, he will probably think your really creepy and file a restraining order against you. Saying that, i do think he is really really talented and i do like his stuff, i just think people should stop obsessing over him.

Valnetines Day and Everything In Between

Hi
sorry this post is gonna be one with crappy grammar and spelling but im in a rush and i dont feel like cleaning it up. anyway sorrry i havent posted in a couple days i've been busy. anyway for our first item of the day: Valentine's day: a day to pointlessly give candy/flowers/chocolates to your friends and that "special someone". But to be honest i think Valentines day sucks, i didnt used to think that, but then my science teacher (one of the Mrs. B's), said she hated Valentine's Day because if someone id going to love you they should love you everyday. That started my change in views, the next thing was that in lower school, and even last year, people gave me stuff (candy, cards, etc.) but this year noone did, thirdly im single, i mean i have been for every valentines day of my life so far, but i feel like less people were single this year, and lastly i ended up spending valentines day at my grandparents, doing homework, eating yesterdays rice, shriveled up steak, and these cookies that were $3 each and my grandfather started freaking out because he thought they were so over priced, so now i have converted to the valentines day hating team. I think part of that was also the fact that im sick of reading about love from R&J and its just been getting on my nerves lately.
Now for our second item of the day: everything inbetween. actually to be honest not much has happened "in between". ttommorrow the quebec and puerto rico trips are leaving, and i cant hide the fact that im a little dissapointed im not going, but whatever, i get a whole 4 days to just chill, and possibly shop. For sspring sports i will do waterpolo, unless im the onnly person doing it, then i'll do softball. I played once in 5th grade and i wasnt too bad at it, but i really love waterpolo, especcially because it preps me for my swim season in the summer, which is ussually brutal the first week or so.
once again sorry this post isnt grammtically or spellingky correct but im kinda in a rush

Latin Project and a Cold

Hello,

So recently I have been working on this Latin project thingy, and to be honest I have never been more stressed/upset about anything ever before. I made a model of the Parthenon, except it didn't really go as planned. My original idea was to make everything out of clay including the inside, and the statue of Athena (I made the model look like it had when it had just been built). That idea quickly morphed as I was faced with a time limit and many obstacles. First I decided instead of clay for the columns I would use wood, and I would only make the outside. I got the columns all ready and then I tried to glue them down. With a hot glue gun. Bad idea. Apparently hot glue melts foam board, so I would blow on the columns and they would come tumbling down. This happened about twenty times. I was a wreck. Yesterday I finally got help and started using wood glue, which though it did take forever to dry, did the trick, and now my model Parthenon is finished and I am happy. I know I won’t win the city-wide contest, but I don’t care. That thing has given me so much trouble when I get it back I am going to smash it to bits and then burn it. I vowed I would never cry so hard again. Here is a picture of it.

The other thing that has been stressing me this week is this cold I have. It is so annoying I have a runny nose, and watery eyes, and i keep getting a little itch in my nose and then I feel like I have to sneeze for like a minute and then I can’t sneeze. It’s so unsatisfying. Do you know how annoying it is to feel like you have to sneeze but to not be able to? It’s very annoying. So that’s all for today.

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet, the classic story of forbidden love; there are too many references made in pop culture to name, and everyone knows the story. Before this year I really didn't think too much about the story, but now that my school is giving us an overload of Romeo this, Juliet that, I am being forced to think about it. To start out we are reading the play. It’s okay, I'm not really pro-Shakespeare, but it’s not horrible. On top of that we are watching the old Romeo and Juliet movie and the 1994 one with LEO DICAPRIO <333. In addition we just saw the opera Romeo and Juliet. It was bad. It was in French. It was four hours long. It was on my half birthday. Teachers still assigned us homework. Let’s just say that I really did not enjoy the experience.   

To be honest though, I don’t know why everyone makes such a big deal out of the story, I mean halfway through I get sick of it and just want them to die already, everyone’s happier that way. Their death is actually a good thing. Why couldn’t they have just killed themselves in the first act? It would have saved the world a lot of time. I just don’t understand why people make such a big deal out of it. I know Shakespeare “created” the forbidden love idea, but really do you HAVE to worship him? It’s almost as bad as Justin Beiber (I mean how people are obsessed with him, not how he sounds/looks).

Okay, if you really want my opinion I think the story is a waste of time. I mean they just die in the end anyway. I also think it is way over-referenced and way over-used (as in pop culture references).

After the Super Bowl

Hello,



So as all of you should know the Packers won!! Though I probably should like the Stealers (my dad’s dad grew up there or something). Anyway I just watched the halftime show and a few of the ads, my favorite was this one for Audi and it was mocking Mercedes. You should YouTube it if you have the time. The other thing I watched was the Half-Time Show, which featured the Black Eyed Peas, Usher, and Slash. I have to say Slash definitely preformed the best out of all of them. The cheerleaders were also very good though too. Usher’s dance routine was good, but I don’t think he was singing. Will.I.Am and Fergie’s mics glitched the whole time, you could also tell that they were auto-tuned somehow. Also in the beginning when Christina Aguilera sang the anthem she screwed it up. When the girl who plays Rachel from Glee sang America, America she did a good job. Umm… theres not really much else for me to say, so ttfn

The Super Bowl

Hello,

So today, as most of you know is the Super Bowl: an excuse to have parties, eat fattening foods, and drink a lot of beer/soda. As some of you may know we had some English exchange students here around Halloween, and they asked why we make such a big deal out of Halloween. I thought about this question for a while (more like 30 sec. but you get the point) and said, “It’s an excuse to have parties.” Of course, it’s also an excuse to dress up, eat candy, and act like a kid again, but that got me wondering, do Americans make big deals out of little things as excuses to have parties? That is what I believe happens with the Super Bowl.

I do understand football, but something I don’t understand is why men like it so much. What is it about the sport that draws all males to it? Anyone care to answer? Thanks.

I have also realized that the Super Bowl is the world’s central of advertisements. I think it’s probably the most watched program every year, so there’s always HUGE competition to get an ad in. This competition also makes the ads some of the most memorable/funny/talked about the next day ads ever.
