William Howard Taft on Foreign Policy

So I ended up getting one of those "tag 16 friends" whosemawhatsises on facebook, and at the time, I didn't feel like doing it, so I'll do it now!

1. When I grow up, I want to be Gregory House, Bruce Wayne, or Tony Stark

2. I enjoy dancing, I'm fairly good at it, I'm straight, get over it (I can dance if I want to)

3. I read at least a book a week, but I tend to reread books

4. I want to make a pun of legendary proportions one day, regardless of consequence

5. I enjoy sentiment

6. Tetris is the most amazing game ever created, all other games are just imiatating

7. I believe in magic

8. I always leave my music on shuffle all.  I enjoy the spontinaity, as well as how it always seems to play the right thing

9. I've stopped counting the number of times people have called my playing the flute "feminine" or something of the sort, I can't imagine my life without it

10. Or the piano for that matter

11. I'm a sucker for Star Wars quotes

12. I hate being sick

13. I've only lost a game of mercy to one person, but multiple times

14. I can ignore a lot of pain

15. I spell phonetically

16. I don't forget, it's somewhere between not wanting to and being forced to

People try to shut us d-d-down

Just 'cause our music gets around

Old folks act like total noobs

Get off our net; you block the tubes

Why don't you all just d-d-disconnect

And don't try an' grock our d-d-dialect

i'm not tryin' to cause a big s-s-sensation

I'm just bloggin'

'Bout my generation

(with appologies to The Who)

Hows about them apples?

I just found something huge out, you can access blogger in school, so I'll be updating more often.
Sadly this doesn't lead me to my next point, like my introductions usually do.
I am going to list my various sayings, their meanings, and how I came to say them, I however am sure that i will be updating this often.
1. epic - http://www.dictionary.com look it up; it just happened
2. how 'bout them apples? - well how bout that?; inherited from my father
3. My God - holy shit; got from someone saying it in Russian
4. He seeks to evade me (can be made plural) - no real meaning; kill dialog from halo 2
5. Squadala we're off - used when going somewhere; YouTube Poop
6. It is said that only Link can give the king regular prostate exams - whenever i want to make the situation awkward; YouTube poop
7. Fun (fun, fun) - either something is fun, or being sarcastic; made it up myself

well thats about it.
Squadala, we're off

well then.

I didn't exactly hold true to my vow to write on this reguarly, but I am going to start taking my friends idea, and start putting my random poetry on this when I don't have anything to post, rather than put it in my writing workshop (lol). Thank you. Thank you very much.

Heres a sonnet, sadly I'm not well versed in iambic pentameter, I'll just write it in the rhyming pattern.

With so very few standing beside me,

After they have left me down in the dirt,
I need someone to hear my silent plea.
Resounding within me, no one alert.
All of their lives are spent without a point,
I hope that mine can be to give them one.
To make them see from far beyond the joint.
And I see that I am quite far from done.
With so little progress on any front,
I see the pitifulness of my plan,
And so I push with all my strength and grunt,
One last, painful effort to bridge the span

So the curtain closes behind my back,

The whole entire world fades to black.

Soh, here's teh earth...

Well, I don't really have anything to say now, but for some reason, I feel obligated to write something. So I'll discuss the views of nerds, my people, from the bigger picture. The biggest things I have against the stereotype of nerds is the lack of athleticism, nerds are not bound to their computers, calculators, or homework. They have all the abilities to go out and exercise, and I know many people who have done this. Another thing is nerds being good at math, nerds don't have to excel in math, but rather they can excel with the command of language, or with computers, or with music, or with general, random facts. I have many more points to make, but I am falling asleep, so I will leave you with a quote that a very wise woman once told me. "Good girls go for nerds."

Emos.

For starters, I have nothing against teenage depression, I myself have experienced it, and the maelstrom of hormones, social advances, and other stuff we go through can lead to it. I simply am against the expression of it through the act of becoming or acting emo. I classify emos as any person who dyes their hair excessively, wears clothing made for the opposite sex, and/or publicly, and while out of place, comment about how depressed they are. I have a lot against this, first of all, I don't understand the concept of even dying ones hair, why would you want to change how you look, we're all given a set of genes that give us a certain color hair, and why would you ever change that? On the clothing note, I dislike it when i am forced to view anything completely strange worn seriously, I can enjoy it if it's worn comically, but rather when one tries to wear things such as tight jeans and a sweater, as a guy (coughcoughdanielcough), I am thoroughly disgusted. As for publicly displaying their depression, if they were actually depressed, they would be to consumed in self-loathing to believe that anyone would care about their depression, hence feeding the cycle.

As for other things that are related to being emo such as the music, the art, and the cutting, these all can be completely unrelated to it, some emo music is good, not most of it, but some of it, for some people, drawing in the "emo style" is the only way they can express themselves in the ways that they wish to. Cutting ones self, though a horrible act, I cannot group with being emo, because even though its thought of as the definitive act of emos, it is too widespread outside of the emo community to warrant such a grouping. If you are, or know someone, or suspect that someone is depressed or cutting themselves intentionally, get help, or confront them, show them that you not only care, but you're willing to help.

VoIP and Phone over IM and Texts

I, a relatively quiet person, prefer to actually speak with someone face to face over any of the four previously mentioned forms of communication. Why? Because I can see their body language, hear their tone, and see how they react to what I am saying. Of the other forms I have mentioned, i prefer the ones where you can hear the inflection and tone of the other(s) you are talking with, those being VoIP and phone. With IM's and Texts, it is very easy to misinterpret sarcasm and seriousness with truth and silliness, and it is very difficult to accurately portray emotions.

Sadly, over the next few days, i may not be updating this as much as i like, because the time I'm not at school, doing homework, eating, and sleeping; I am now spending at lacrosse, so for all you junkies, get your drugs elsewhere.
