A state of mental Retardation.
"have you ever had your heart broken? and if so are you over them ye?"
"do you still have feelings for an ex?"
"R u smart"
"Y did u spell hi wrong"
Listen retards, First, don't think just because I can't see your name doesn't mean i can't figure who you are. Secondly, you guys are retarded. lol.
If you think you're going to stir me up to get all mad and do something I'm going to regret, you're wrong.
Now, lets get to the good stuff!
"Y did u spell hi wrong" this made me lol. I didn't spell hi wrong you idiot. I'm sure you're smart enough to know that people like to spell certain things differently (as seen by your poor excuse of the written english language). here are some examples of "hi" that don't really look like the word "hi".
There's the infamous "Hai".
There's "hey", which is just a different variation of "hi".
There's "yo" which looks nothing like "hi" but means pretty much the same thing.
Then there's my personal favorite, "hye" which is like the word "hey" only the second and third letters ( 'e' and 'y') are swapped. If you follow basic english and correct word structuring, you'll find that "hye" and "hi" have the same pronunciation.
NEXT!
"R u smart". I like this one, obviously it came from the same person that asked why i spelled "hi wrong". Seeing as they actually took the time to capitalize the first letter in the sentence, "R". (by 'R' they meant to say "Are") However their grammar and correct usage of, again, the english language fell apart from there. We see incorrect usage of the letter 'u' as apposed to the correct form of the word "you", then the sentence simply ends without correct punctuation. The correct punctuation mark for this sentence should be a question mark (?) seeing as it's obviously a question.
NEXT!
"do you still have feelings for an ex?" Not many people know that i actually have an Ex, only my closest friends, the Ex herself, and the Ex's friends/boyfriend that she cheated on me with (lol). This question is well composed, contains proper grammar (for the most part, the 'd' in "do" wasn't capitalized) and sentence structure. This also makes it easier to see who asked what. the same person most likely asked the following questions as well:
"have you ever had your heart broken? and if so are you over them ye?" Obviously I've had my heart broken, this question was written by someone who A) had a lot of friends over and wanted to bug me, or B) likes to see themselves talk/wants attention. The missing 't' at the end of the question tells me that it was written fast, excitedly, and sent without it having been looked over.
"are you looking for someone right now?" This is a stupid question, everyone is looking for someone.
Those three questions (and a few more) seem to have been written all by the same person.
You know who you are, and I know you're reading my Blog. Go away now, and try to work on your grammar usage and mechanics (there's classes for that).
- people, sometimes they don't know when enough is enough.

That time always comes....
The time where you have to make a decision, the people before you were fine, but still. Every part of your body is screaming at you not to do it.
"what if something goes wrong?"
"what if i miss and hit the rocks?"
"what if i drown?"
Your feet seem to plant themselves in the rock, unwilling to move. Your body tenses up, all you can think about is what you have to do, what you've been taught. You jump, the adrenaline rushes through your body, you've just denied everything that keeps you alive. Your thoughts are simple, hands to your sides or crossed, keep your legs straight.
You hear cheers, a crash, the low drone of water rushing around your ears is calming.
there's no bottom, you start flailing your arms, reaching for the surface and the precious oxygen you need to breathe. Once you hit the surface, you take that breath, you swim faster than you've ever swam or else the current will take you into nothing.
You've done it, and now you can say you've done it.
- Because saying "i jumped off a cliff" is just plain boring.

from: The kids. To: The parents
Dear mom and dad, it's come to our attention that there are a few things we should explain, to make both our lives easier.
First thing first, us kids seriously hate it when you say "you know what it's like" because frankly, you don't. You know what it's like to be a kid, sure, but you don't know what it's like to be US, "us" as in this Generation, you thought YOU had problems as a kid, with every problem one generation has, a new one comes up with the next generation. So no, you don't know what it's like to be us. WHat can you do about it? Nothing really, we'll explain it to you in our own time.
Secondly, you have to understand that we won't always tell you everything, you won't know all our secrets, and you won't know why we do some of the things we do. The reason we don't tell you is complicated. leave it at that.
Also, we hate it when you question our decisions. Sure, we're immature, but you were too once, and how did you mature? You did it by making stupid choices, we can't learn from your mistakes, and we know you just want to protect us, but please, let us mature. We can't spend our lives not making mistakes, we wouldn't learn anything. So let us make decisions, if you've raised us right, then we'll try to make good decisions, if you've done a lousy job, then it's on you.
Love, Love is a touchy topic for us kids and you parents, you guys remember what it was like to want to be in love. For those parents who think that you're all your kids need. stop. that's a load of batcrap, Growing up, the only people we needed to love us were our parents, then we got a tad older, and we needed our friends to love us, then, we hit this horrible spot where we want to be "In love". You were there, you do know what that feels like, otherwise, we wouldn't really be here... Anyways, it's up to you parents to support us in our boyfriends or girlfriends, don't shun us for wanting to love someone, that's mean.
Rules, we've made a rhyme for you guys to remember, it goes like this:
"The more rules you make, the more rules we'll break"
Don't set us up to fail and get in trouble, that's retarded and we hate it. Obviously we're going to break a rule like "no talking to your friends anymore", we see it as cruel and unusual punishment, and seeing as we're all independent Americans, we won't follow rules we don't like. So here's some advice, let us make CHOICES. We'd much rather have a CHOICE than a rule, choices have consequences, and we're more willing to accept the consequences of our own choices than your rules.
"well breaking our rules would be a choice, and it does have consequences"
Don't get smart with us, we can do the same thing. You know what we mean.
How to love us: We act like we don't want you guys in our lives, but the truth is, we do.. to a point. We can't have you guys smothering us, we can't have you jumping in our Kool-aid and not bringing any sugar. A hug when we're feeling down does the trick, or taking us out to ice cream every now and then, don't be afraid to ask us how our day was. Other than that, I'm sure you know how to love us effectively.
Dads: If you're wondering how you connect with your sons, playing video games is a nice outlet, or picking up some other type of father/son hobby.
Moms: if you're wondering how to connect with your daughters, try taking them out shopping, having them give you a makeover, you'd be surprised how much style has changed over the years.
Asking questions: If you want to know about our lives, don't interrogate us, we don't like it and when you start doing that we shut down and close you off.
Interrogation = not a good thing. (ya dig?)
Instead, try TALKING with us, you'd be amazed at the stuff we have to say. And if we seem like we don't want to talk, we probably don't, so just give us time and we'll open up to you later.
(We secretly like talking to you guys)
School, our education IS something we take for granted, that's just a fact. Stop smothering us with crap like "You need all A's", it's stressful and works against us. When we do get A's, be happy, if we get a bad grade, don't shun us, ground us, disown us, or ground us again. It's rather unfair, because we don't TRY to get bad grades, grades are given to us, and half of the time we just need help in the subject.
And lets face it, you shouldn't be mad at us for doing bad in a subject you don't even remember how to do.
"When I grow up"
remember when we were little tiny kids, and we said stuff like "When i grow up i want to be a monkey trainer"? remember how you would say stuff like "a monkey trainer!? that's an excellent job!"
Since when did you decide to make what we want to be your business? If we still want to be a monkey trainer, let us be a fruggin monkey trainer! It makes us feel bad when you say stuff like "how would you live being a monkey trainer? you know you'll have bills to pay!" or "You can't support a family doing that". Should i remind you that we're in America? and there's always a way to make money doing what you love.
With that said, we love you most of the time, even if it seems we don't, and we just want you to love us and support us. We have to start learning how to be an adult after all, and we can't do that unless you let us start taking control over our lives.

Screw Destiny.
Since my birthday (In January), my friends and I have been planning a trip to Disney, well, it got pushed back to march, whatever, that's fine I guess. THEN, it gets pushed back to April, alright, a tad annoying. THEN, it gets cancelled and pushed farther back into April. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of waiting, the time is near for us to actually go.
You thought that was it, it isn't.
Cobb ends up having to cancel, because he wouldn't be able to renew his pass in time. Incredigey. At this point, I'm pretty bummed, what's Disney without Cobb? I'll get to hang out awkwardly with Crystal and her friends. FINE, I'll do it, only because I'M FRUGGIN TIRED of rescheduling, and I WANT TO GO to Disneyland.
It's 2 days before we're going, and I get the wonderful news that Crystal is sick. BUT, maybe she'll be better by the time we need to go.
Later, i find out that my parents are going out that night, so I have to find a ride home. No Big deal.. except that I still don't know what time Blue (Crystal) and her friends are leaving. Sunday rolls around (we're going monday), and I still don't have the times of when to show up, and when they're leaving.
I send Blue a text, no response, i send Cobb a text, he responds 15 minutes later. I ask him if he's heard from Blue, he disses me for his band.
This is where i interject and say "Screw your band".
Fianally, at 9:30pm, i get ahold of Blue, and she cancels.
I don't care if you think it's "destiny" (cobb), I'm mad that I didn't get to go.
Since I'm on Destiny, I might as well talk about that too. Destiny is an odd idea, can one control it? I would think you can't, since your destiny would be set. Or, can you control it? by making your own decisions every day. I'll tell you what's real, life, your choices, and your feelings.
So who gives a crap whether or not destiny is real, what's real is right now, here, this second. I'm not saying you shouldn't think about the future, I'm saying you should stop being to fruggin paranoid about what your destiny is.
"I must fulfill my destiny"
"that isn't part of my destiny"
"it is, my destiny"
You don't know your destiny. Where ever you end up, is where you're gonna end up, whether you call it God's plan for your life, or destiny, even fate, it's the same. You're going to end up dead. That's our destiny. We live, we die, and that's the end of us for this world.
My point is, the only reason "destiny" exists is because people have this need for purpose, they must feel that they mean something, that they're a part of something bigger. We made destiny, we created it, so does it really exist?
Lame.
- lame stuff happens.

how many miles?
I've had the same pair of black high top all stars for over a year now, they've walked countless miles, they've hiked, climbed, jumped from heights big and small, they've been through rapids, down waterfalls, through nasty lake weed, up cliff faces, down cliff faces. They've traveled to northern Cali and back, twice, they've seen my first girlfriend, they've seen my first break up. They've stepped on grass, asphalt, fire, rocks, sand, and dirt. They've carried me through wonderful games of paintball, football, soccer, basketball, and baseball.
They've done a whole lot, and i still wear them, with or without socks.
Written on the outside, you'll find "WIll you" and "Carry me far".
Most will only take the time to look at one shoe, and ask either "Why do your shoes say "Will you"?" or "why does it say "Carry me far"?".
Well dummy, if you look at both shoes you'll see that each one has half of the phrase.
Now you're asking why it says that.
Explanation: Most of us don't think about the relationship we have with our shoes, but my shoes remind me of everything I've been through, everything they've carried me through. There is nothing as faithful as a shoe. So when i make new friend's, or meet new people, i ask myself "Will this person carry me far?".
Yup, I'm selfish, and i don't want to invest in someone who's just going to hurt me, trick me, lie to me, steal my Ipod... you know.
So the next time you see me wearing my crappy shoes, and you wonder why they say "Will you" or "Carry me far", ask yourself, "Who's going to carry ME far?".
P.S. relationships.
- walk in my shoes? no, only i do that.
