Humans, over time, have evolved at a frightening rate. Once, we spent our days collecting fish and picking flowers, but now we can talk to people from Dubai to Antarctica at the click of a key. We can send pictures of an Eskimo to the burning sands of the Sahara. And we don't realize this.
We're sitting on an enormous, volcanic hunk of rock in the middle of the a galaxy containing hunks of rock similar to ours. We could be hurtling through space, colliding into anything nears us if it weren't for gravity. We have so many laws that help create our planet become a pile of rubble. Our world started out as nothing, and now we have a massive amount of technology.
Sadly, our world is dying. No, not global warming. Our nonrenewable resources are dwindling away. And they are, in fact, nonrenewable. Sure, our renewable ones can come back, time after time, but slowly. We can't stop it. We need the resources to walk through life, we can't change that.
We don't stop and stare at the beauty of the world. We don't see that, through the heavy smog, lies a beautiful land. We don't notice the way the snow blankets on the trees, or the noise the rain makes when it drops to clash with the earth. Our world is truly amazing, and I wouldn't like it any different. Earth is what makes us humans, humans.

As you may have read in my Doomsday post, I think very low of the so called apocalypse. Or not necessarily the apocalypse, but its cult followers. I don't like the people warning you constantly about it, telling you to build a nuclear protected ark or something like that.
Similar to my disliking of Apocalypse Prophets, I also have a strange anger generated from Jehovah's Witness. They constantly knock on your door, handing you pamphlets, encouraging you to join their brainwashing cult. Among other things, I'm not a fan a televangelists. I don't mind them, but I don't like the really picky ones. The ones that state you have to pay some fee just to join or you can donate $100 to a child in need, but really it's going into the pastor's fund for his new Lamborghini.
Anywho, I don't feel like discussing my other dislikes, so I'll try to talk about something else. School's good, band's good, weather's meh, my music collection needs improvement, and my room is currently being renovated.
Lately, I've been writing a lot. I write many a short stories. I plan to combine them all into book and make them into a collection. They aren't bad, but that's just from my opinion. I really need a trustworthy editor/ opinionater(Not a word, sue me) to help me see if they're any good. If you think you might(if anyone out there, which I doubt very seriously) just ask. Don't be shy
I've decided to shorten my little farewell. Typing 'so long and thanks for all the fish' is really tiring. So, I'm going to stick to the basics.

Hello(if there's anyone out there), happy late Christmas and new year. I hope you had a good holiday with family and friends, I know I certainly did.
Now that the holidays have ended and everyone has shut up about their Christmas presents and the New Year's Eve kiss they've received, it's time back for school. Woot(no sarcasm intended). Literally, I'm ready for school to start. I'm semi-tired of staying home, slacking off. School will challenge me, and I'll learn new things hopefully.
So, lately, I've noticed weird obsessions going on in our world.

1. Television
2. Facebook
3. Horrible mainstream music( I don't want to go into detail).
4. Disney stars with bad priorities
5. Reality shows.
6. Fast food.
I could add so much more to this list, but I'm texting it, and my fingers cramp. When I get home, I'll probably add more or go into detail, but as for now, it's like a blogging cliffhanger.
So long and thanks for all the fish,
Elliot
