countries of choice

Ok, what do you think of when you think about Japan? Is it the history and culture, the great technology, and entertainment? Or is it the bombing at Pearl Harbor, and the atomic bombings in Japan?Bombings, bombings, bombings! Wars, wars, wars! can we please talk about some thing else in History class?!
I also totally found it both hilarz and childish when, in fourth grade(worst year ev, but that's a story for another post), people in my class hated British people. You know, because of the whole revolutionary war thing. Soooooooooooo stuck in the past. I truly hope those kids grew up(they know who they are).
As another example, the whole Australia thing. Alot of people automatically think of the outback when they think of Australia. Even though it has lots of ultramodern things in it!
Hey!, let us not forget Paris! If I hear the "Paris is for lovers" cliche one more time, I will vomit all over the place. Ugh! I'm gagging right now just typing about it.
Anyway, my point is, if you are on board with the country stereotypes, do some research!!

ice blue eyes

(This is a song i wrote.)
I don't have anything
to say to you
And yet I want to say everything
but I cant
Find myself
to say a word
Do you know how frustrating
that is?
Sometimes I wonder why......
Why
Did I.....
Fall for the guy who is never alone
you're always surrounded by people
Fall for the guy with a bunch of girls
always around
I wonder if he realizes
that I know I'll never measure up
Why
did I fall
for the guy
with the ice blue eyes?!
ICE BLUE EYES

I always want
to be around you
And yet
I never am
Close enough to reach out
to you
Fearing rejection


Sometimes I wonder why......
Why
Did I.....
Fall for the guy who is never alone
you're always surrounded by people
Fall for the guy with a bunch of girls
always around
I wonder if he realizes
that I know I'll never measure up
Why
did I fall
for the guy
with the ice blue eyes?!
ICE BLUE EYES

Where do you go
when you are alone
I want to see there
and tell you
anything
everything
Where are you
when you want someone else around
I want to see you there
see you there
see you there
see you there



Sometimes I wonder why......
Why
Did I.....
Fall for the guy who is never alone
you're always surrounded by people
Fall for the guy with a bunch of girls
always around
I wonder if he realizes
that I know I'll never measure up
Why
did I fall
for the guy
with the ice blue eyes?!

names on the ground

Why is it that when people (mostly girls) are with their friends, they talk about their other friends alot? It's, like, name dropping, except your not using celebrities. I find this strange. It's competitive, naming all of your friends, seeing who has the most. Not everything in life is a competition. Don't you realize that?
Weirder, still, even though I'm tired of listening to this name dropper crap, I find myself actually doing it when I'm with my friends. It's almost a big race to see who's life is better, and, without knowing it, I've started running to catch up with the other competitors. It's worse with friends you don't see every day. You hang out, get to talking, and suddenly, they mention their friends at school or something, and describe the clique that their in, and all the clique members. Then you launch off into this monologue about all your school friends, and the cliques, and so on.
What I've realized is that when you drop names, they just end up on the ground, you are discarding people when you name-drop, dismissing them as another collectible friend. And it's nothing but crap.
Consider yourself warned,

this is a love song, this is a breakup song....

Ah, dating. Getting together with someone and making out and going places together. Being a "couple". Sound familiar? i hear it every day in the halls at my school, and with friends, and on T.V, and the internet, and books, and just about everywhere else. And to that I say "UGG! I get it! Dating, is great, dating is fun, dating is for EVERYONE!! NOT!" Do you know how many kids/teens/young adults/adults get soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wrapped up in the dating thing that they become wierdas?! Alot!
And the imfamous breakups. The crying, the "Please don't leave me"s, the "I can change"s the "It's better this way"s . It doesn't have to be this this dramatic, people!!!!! I know it's hard, and it can crush you, but really, to quote another breakup line, "It doesn't have to be this way"!
Yeah, I'm all for finding the right someone and getting together, but it doesn't have to be crazy competitive compulsive, or make you leave people behind or completely stressful. It can be fun. All I'm saying.
This is my stand,

lables, tags, or identities?

Singer
Dancer
Rich
Poor
Fun
Boring
Imaginative
Plain
Smart
Dumb
Blonde
Brunette
Young
Old
"Is this who I am?" some people ask "Does this really define me?" Well, I say, the answer is yes and the answer is no. It is who you are, but it does not define you. If your name was a dictionary definition, would it look like this?:
[Insert name](noun)-A smart brunette who wears jeans and T-shirts
I say NOT! Those sound like half- labels to me. Now lets try some controversial ones:
Gay
Straight
Black
White
Biracial
Racist
Sexist
Autistic
Now, don't some of those sound like accusations to you? How many times have you heard someone say "You're gay!" in a mocking tone? As for the race ones: where I go to school, the word" racist" is thrown around like a cheap dart. Being African American(or Black, or Negro, whichever you prefer) I don't hear it in reference to me, but I have heard it once because of me.
Ok, please please PLEASE don't confuse my message with political correctness. That is just stepping on MAJOR eggshells to please everyone. Not gonna work, someone will always be offended.
