RICE CAKES!!!

These things are probably the most terrible tasting food on the face of the earth if eaten plain. It is like saying, "here, eat some styra-foam." The name itself is even contradicting, Rice cakes, it does not taste like rice or cake, it doesn't look like rice or cake, it has no resemblance of either, yet we still call them rice cakes.

Words

Words. What are they, really? Just sounds that come out of our mouths and apparently mean something, but to who? To who I ask. Is the queen of Englands word much different then the word of the homeless guy living three miles away from the castle gates? What makes her words so special amongst people, she may make good decisions of running a country but is she smarter then the town folk she oversees? Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Benjamin Franklin were some of the greatest minds in history, but they never ruled countries.

Words seem to mean so much to us but in reality they mean so little. What does honesty even mean? We give these sounds a reason for having meaning, but what is the meaning of the meaning? When we see the color red, what makes it have that name maybe the real color is blue and we just got it mixed up for all these years. If nothing can be something, then everything can be nothing. What is reality itself? Maybe we aren't alive, we could all just be imagining this and sooner or later something else wakes up?

right now I have no clue what i am saying, sooo you probably shouldn't read this

I also think I have finally gone kookoo

Males and their Minds

In the book "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge there is a really good little snip it that i guess really hit home with me about how the guy wants to impress and or rescue the girl and have her fall in his arms. Every guy has had these dreams probably at about the age of twelve where they either beat up the school bully to save here or were there to comfort her when something was wrong. Here is a paragraph directly out of the text.

A Beauty to Rescue

Romeo has his Juliet, King Arthur fights for Guinevere, Robin rescues Maid Marian, I will never forget the first time I kissed my elementary school sweetheart. It was in the fall of my seventh-grade year. I met Debbie in drama class, and fell absolutely head over heels. It was classic puppy love: I would wait after rehearsals were over, carry her books back to her locker. We passed notes in class, talked on the phone at night. I never paid girls much attention, really, until now. This desire awakens a bit later in a boy's journey to manhood, but when it does his universe turns on its head. Anyway, I longed to kiss her, but just couldn't ever work up the courage- until the last night of the school play. The next day was summer vacation and she was going away, and I new it was now or never. Backstage, in the dark, i slipped her a quick kiss and she returned a longer one. Do you remember the ending to the movie E.T., where the boy flies across the moon on his bike? Though I rode my little Schwinn home that night, I felt like I was never on the ground. (end paragraph and back to blogging schpiel)

See girls don't realize how much power they have over us, or the stereotypes of males where all we ever think about is sex and how to get it, but it has actually been proven that that females between the age of 16 and 24 think more about sex then males do. I am not saying that we don't think about that, i can't even remember the percentage i think it was like for ever 1 time a guy has thought about sex a girl has already thought about it 3 times, but that could be wrong maybe it was only twice or could have been a number greater then four. But what I guess i am trying to say is that when a girl whether it be the first one or the tenth, when the first physical connection is made or even a great emotional connection the male goes into shock not knowing what to think. For some guys with commitment issues, this is when they get scared and run, but what about the guys who stick with you going into this blindly. Love is like a train going through a tunnel, either you go right through it with no problems or there is the chance of another train coming from the other direction you can't see.

To all of us guys who are amazed by a girl and can't ever get her out of your head, just go for it what is the worst that can happen. I mean we have probably already lost our dignity so we currently have nothing to lose.

For all you girls who think we think are trying to get anyone that is easy that isn't necessarily what we go for or look for in a girl but there are some exceptions to this, I am just glad I don't fit into that category of sleezy guys just looking to get laid. But on a more happy not then that one, we are just as scared of relationships as you are. We are still afraid of being hurt. Even if it were a simple thing, we sometimes having the confidence to doing things on a whim dealing with love because half the time we don't know what we are doing.

Complications

In middle school all you look forward to is high school, and relationships but why? All These things deal with is more and more drama. Relationships are a great thing to have if you know what you are doing. We don't. We think we do but sooner or later someone is breaking someone's heart by making out with someone else in the corner. Think of the people waiting to get the chance to date someone, imagining that they won't ever get the chance. They know that they don't mean anything to you, they go day by day being invisible and unwanted

Conferences and Intercession

I was totally dreading the fact that conferences were tonight, knowing that I was going to get yelled at or scolded for not doing homework. I was especially not looking forward to seeing Mr. Hodgson for Literature or Mr. Nemecek for World History. Mr. Hodgson really needs to get on top of putting things in the grade book, because the reason why I have such a bad grade is because he has only put in one assignment of mine into Powerschool.

Other then those I would say my conferences went really well, all my teachers said I was good in class and said I totally understood the material, but I think the thing I heard most that night is that I need to do the homework.

But on a more serious note, I have to go to Intercession for a class that I am passing. It is ridiculous. The only reason why I have to go is because I don't do the homework, I have aced almost all the tests and quizzes and past all of them with an A, but when my Adv. Alg. teacher, Ms. Dreckman says that homework brings you up to the next level of learning, I don't believe her. It might help you remember how to do the procedure, but for people who understand the material I think homework should be an optional thing if you can prove that you know what you are doing.

Choir

I just joined choir this year and surprisingly enough, no one can see me being in choir, when most of my friends in middle school told me i should have joined, but i am excited that for my second concert I get to sing a Lion King Medley. I am not so thrilled about the other broadway songs, but I guess i am just going to need to put it behind me and tough it out. After talking to Mr. Avery, I have just recently found out that I have been switched to baritone for choir after being a tenor. The first concert of tenor seemed to go alright, but not being able to have the range that a tenor made it a little hard to sing, hopefully after being switched no and having my voice matured this next concert will go a lot better.
