I want to start with this quote from one of my favorite books:
"We're all going to die.We know that on an intellectual level.We figure it out sometime when we're fairly young, and it scares us so badly that we convince ourselves we're immortal for more than a decade afterward.
Death isn't something anyone likes to think about, but the fact is that you can't get out of it. No matter what you do, how much you exercise, how religiously you diet, or meditate, or pray, or how much money you donate to your church, there is a single hard, cold fact that faces everyone on earth: One day it's going to be over. One day the sun will rise, the world will turn, people will go about their routines-only you won't be in it. You'll be still. And cold
And despite every religious faith, the testimony of near-death eyewitnesses, and the imaginations of storytellers throughout history, death remains the ultimate mystery. No one truly, definitely knows what happens after. And that's assuming there is an after. We all go there blind to whatever is out there in the darkness beyond.
Death.
You can't escape it.
You.
Will.
Die.
It's a bitter, hideously concrete fact to endure."
Felt like sharing that.
Now to the real post, if any of you thought that was it. Lately, I've noticed a lot of lack of attention in our lives. No not ADD, but lack of truly opening the eyes.
If you read my previous previous post(Not the bread liquification transfer, that's a different matter), I have a strong belief that not a lot of people understand that we're on a giant lava-encrusted hunk of rock, inhabited by almost 3 billion humans and over triple that to get the amount of animals.
We inhabit a land in which we are supplied with tools for survival. Water, food, etc. Of course we have so,so much more. We can watch moving pictures, send messages to friends from miles away, and can even communicate to people in Russia. I'm even amazed as i type this.
I'm not trying to say that humans never appreciate life, or the earth, or any of that, but we don't always watch the skies to find shapes in the clouds or run around in the fields with family. We don't always see the beauty in everything. Not to be too much of an optimist, but we should be able to see beauty in a trash can.
Ignorance is bliss.

Today, in Latin, we questioned if we could turn bread into a liquid. Throughout the day I questioned this, so when I got home, I experimented. Bread can, in fact, turn into a liquid. With some moisture, of course.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG_g1p33B2s
As you can tell, without moisture, bread would remain a solid. I plan on blending more things, such as onions, dog biscuits, and many other products you can find at your local supermarket. Thank you for your time and patience. I bid you farewell.

We are the Dreamers of Dreams
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.
Don't Panic. Grab a Towel.

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.

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,

Pointless Non-Necessities That Do Not Matter
I've spent three days trying to think of some witty topic I could write or gripe about, but sadly to my despair, I've come up with jack-diddly-squat. I've typed enough words to make the dictionary seem short but later deleted them to their lack of flow. My thoughts have jammed together and created a pile of sheer mediocrity. All in all, it's called writer's block.
Right as of now, I'm basically procrastinating on finding a topic. I might just need to randomly type something,filled with random adjectives and weird nouns. I might just need to find a topic.
I cannot think of anything. I won't bother with religion,politics, books, movies, or books. You probably wouldn't care for my opinions. Actually, I doubt anyone reads this. Basically, I use this to vent my emotions or anger.
Wait!Egad! I think I may have a topic.
Never mind. That was nothing.
....This is sort of awkward, I'll admit.
Maybe, next time I'll have a topic.
Maybe.
Probably not.
I think I might be talking to myself.
Schizophrenia. Woo.

Let Me Be Me
I may have never mentioned this, but I despise my grade. Or at least most of it. Around 98% of it. Okay, 99.99%.
Most of the grade is filled with obnoxious, perverted, idiotic, moronic cretins. Rich. Arrogant. Pointless. Disrespectful. Critical. Brainless. Opinion-less. Wasteful.
Careless. Shallow. Snobby.
I really don't like them.
For example, I was walking to class, and I heard someone say behind me they could go for a "dip" right now. If you don't know, dip means dipping tobacco. First off, why would you want to dip tobacco. It ruins your health. Secondly, why would you say this,out loud, in school. At least,for the sake of our younger students, keep your tobacco issues to yourself.(Note: this wasn't someone in my grade, but a senior.)
Another thing, there is a slight bit of race issue in our school. A friend of mine, who will remain nameless, is black. He really doesn't like people disrespecting his race. Today, while in PE, he was told, and I quote,"Go home, ni**er." I was extremely angry when I heard this.
Also, almost my entire school population, is rich. I mean, completely loaded. Iphones,full wallets, flat-screen televisions in their rooms, flashy cars. You know, the REALLLY rich ones. Yes, my parents earn enough to put both my sister and me in a private Christian school, and I am thankful so much for that. But these people constantly shove it our faces.
I have had a kid literally count the amount of money in his wallet and promptly tell me. I have to admit, I am jealous of those who never fear poverty or emptiness of a wallet. But material possessions mean nothing. Absolutely nothing.
So, exams are next week. I think this go around, I'll do well. Or at least better than the previous years. Hopefully.
This school year has been pretty good so far. my classes have gone great, a few bumps here and there. A few laughs, a few cries. Life moves on, and the earth continues to rotate.
Now, I have truly nothing else I want to say. I mean, if I think of something, I'll probably do another post. But until then...

I Need a Book
I have almost absolutely nothing to read. Mainly because the library is lagging on the books I want, and also, I've read everything I own. And re-read them. And re-re-read them. You get the idea.
I'm also lacking any book recommendations. Sadly, barely anyone in my grade reads, except for those select few. By them not reading, I have no one to discuss, recommend, or criticize books. It's rather depressing.
Speaking of reading, recently, I read a book called "Physics of the Impossible". It. Was. Awesome. It talked about equipment,such as warp drives, laser guns, and hyperspace. You know, the equipment in Star Trek and Star Wars and Doctor Who and Sanctuary and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And The Men in the Moon. And Stargate. And Player Piano. And any Rudyard Kipling novel.
(That was my science-fiction speech for the day.)
Any way, the book was really good and spoke of someday, we might be able to have these nifty gadgets. It was imaginative,and the author clearly knew what he was talking about. I quite liked it.
Also, I've been reading a number of diverse books. One is Prey by Michael Crichton. I scared the living daylight out of me. Literally. Oh, probably because I read it at 2 a.m. on a school night, but anywho.
"Prey" is about a laboratory in New Mexico that invents chemically-altered particles for the army that seek and destroy any threats. Innovated idea, actually. But then, the particles are released to wreak havoc and chaos to the United States. The book is incredibly suspenseful, creative, and slightly disturbing. All in all, a good read. So, if you have a recommendation, comment. Please. For the sake of my well-being so I do not have to resort to television.
So Long and Thanks for All the Fish,

The Ghetto, Ninjas, and a Headache
Today, while working in the wonderful city of Memphis, I saw a variety of peculiar things:
1. An upside pedestrian on a sign
2. A spray can that said unscented but was called OderAway.
3. A ghetto child swing(A lawn chair tied to a piece of string.
4. Several skinny cats and dogs.
5. A crack addict
6. A prostitute finding a way to pay for her taxes.
7. Some many 'gangstas' who can't afford a belt, so they keep their pants up by grabbing their pelvic area.
8. Around 50,000 beer cans, 42,000 soda cans, 89,000 cigarette and cigar cartons, over 100,000 wrappers for numerous fast food restaurants, and 23,000 newspapers.
Litter. I have seen several commercials stating that Tennessee is tired of it. I've seen a chain gang clean up the street. I've even seen a garbage man pick up the abandoned beer can tossed out by a driver.
We cannot escape it. It's unbelievable how much trash as a community we throw into our environment. it disgusts me.
On another note, I saw Ninja Assassin, the Japanese version of Rambo. It was okay. Way too many deaths. Anyway.
I have a headache like no other. I think it's because of the 67,000 gory deaths I've seen today. Or how my nose is full of mucus. Or whenever I cough, my back aches in pain.
Since no one probably reads this, or for those who do, don 't know me, I will share some "fun" facts about myself.
1. I play the piano. Sort of.
2. I am gargantuan Douglas Adams fan.
3. I think 87% of movies made after the late 80's fail.
4. I'm a sci-fi nerd. HHGTTG, Player Piano, Flash Gordon, H.G. Wells, Star Trek. These I things know.
5. The librarians at OB know me by name.
6. I think Buckethead is the best guitarist.
7. I don't care for sports.
8. Coffee doesn't appease to me, but a cup of Earl Grey tea does.
9. The original Disney movies are amazing(Hercules, Aladdin, Robin Hood) Also, Finding Nemo and Cars are freaking amazing.
10. I like to randomly quote things. If you ever hear me do it, don't be scared.
There. While I am typing this, I am on the cult-phenomenon website that is Facebook. Everyone seems to have one, even grandparents. It scares me.
Also, there are many Facebook addicts. They have everyone subscribed to their phone,so when a person updates their status, said person knows it and comments or 'likes' it. It also amazes me how many quizzes and applications there are. And everyone seems to like showing everyone their results. Constantly.
I am guilty to this. I had a Quiz Era once. It was depressing. So many questions, so little time. I still believe there is a super computer that makes all of the cursed things up. I plan to find that computer and destroy it.
I'm also guilty of joining a lot of groups. Some of the stupidest things are groups. Example, there is a group called Amish People. WHY? When people find a group and add that group every day, it irritates me. Actually a lot of things irritate me, but I'm not going into it. So now I'm off to go watch a movie. Either Eeturn of the Jedi or Ferris Buehler's Day Off.

A Little Rant
SPOILER: If you are hard-core Twilight, I wouldn't read this. I probably just urged you to read it.
I went to the bookstore Saturday night. The book I purchased was in the...gulp....Twilight Book Club. I was petrified. They have a club for books somewhat related to the Twilight Saga? The book I bought wasn't even like Twilight. It didn't even have the words 'vampires' or 'dazzling' in it.
I might need to note before a billion teenage girls and mothers attack me that I have nothing against Twilight or Stephanie Meyer. I've read the series many times. First, I liked it. Second time around, I found errors. My main complaint that her version of the vampire follows nothing to the cult classic, Dracula.
Vampires are supposed to be blood-thirsty creatures, burned by the sun, and found in the horror classics. Not a sparkling, animal-drinking seventeen year-old. They ran were strong and agile. I don't really know if they could read minds or change emotions. There. That's my rant.
My other complaint is the phenomenon it is. I understand liking the book. A book is for enjoyment. But when you say you and Edward are going to get together and you want him to watch you at night, then it gets creepy.
"The difference between the fans that enjoy the books and rabid fans that take them much too seriously."
So yeah,

Wow. Two posts in a day. I'm on a roll!

The Harbringer of Doom(2012)

2012( Yes, I know, grammar mistake). The year of the apocalyptic chaos. The penultimate Armageddon. Fire from Hell itself shall rise from the ground. Massive hurricanes and tsunamis. Tornadoes the size of skyscrapers will roam the earth. Asteroids and comets will tear through the atmosphere. The sun will go into supernova and obliterate life as we know it. Apparently.
Allegedly, the Mayans,who made the calender by the way, predict that on December 21 of the year 2012, all life will die. Many people have grown accustomed to this fact and have even made a shelter for it: http://www.hardenedstructures.com/apocalypse.asp
I find this people to be paranoid.
The truth is, there will be no apocalypse. It is just huge propaganda society has established to make everyone quake in their boots. Many theories have been theorized(Yes, it's a word) about the "apocalypse".
1. Sun dies(It might. That one's a tad truthful)
2. Atmosphere rips open(Global warming. That's another matter entirely.)
3. Earth's core erupting(Yeah, it's a freaking volcano.)
4. Tsunamis destroy everything(Well, you never know.)
5. Continents shifting(This is the only with scientific fact to it. Yes, the continents shift constantly.)
6.And, my personal favorite, zombies(The devil might get angry.)
Sure, they could happen(maybe not the zombie idea, unless someone proves necromancy.)The sad, cliched thing is, whomever made all of these theories, made them occur on December 21, 2012. Which is the exact date the Mayans thought. So basically,
people have ripped away a myth merged their own little thoughts to make it more catastrophic. So, to quote Douglas Adams, don't panic.

Allegedly, the Mayans,who made the calender by the way, predict that on December 21 of the year 2012, all life will die. Many people have grown accustomed to this fact and have even made a shelter for it: http://www.hardenedstructures.com/apocalypse.asp
I find this people to be paranoid.
The truth is, there will be no apocalypse. It is just huge propaganda society has established to make everyone quake in their boots. Many theories have been theorized(Yes, it's a word) about the "apocalypse".
1. Sun dies(It might. That one's a tad truthful)
2. Atmosphere rips open(Global warming. That's another matter entirely.)
3. Earth's core erupting(Yeah, it's a freaking volcano.)
4. Tsunamis destroy everything(Well, you never know.)
5. Continents shifting(This is the only with scientific fact to it. Yes, the continents shift constantly.)
6.And, my personal favorite, zombies(The devil might get angry.)

Born.

Middle School.
High School.
(Insert extra-curricular activity here.)

Job.
Marriage.
(Possibly divorce, if so, possibly another marriage.)
Death.
We all follow this pattern some way or another. Truly, we do not control our lives. However, we make decisions that allow different paths to emerge. Different decisions allow different paths. But, one way or another, we all come to a fork in the road. At that fork, we must choose. Sometimes there are several forks in the road.
We all live; we all die. It's our true fate. Those who learn to die, learn to live.

Whatever Happened to Thanksgiving?
I know, I know. I've been lagging on posting, but my computer was swarmed by viruses. It hasn't come in yet(it's being wiped clean), so I am on my sister's computer. Not like anyone would get on here. I'm sort of a latent writer.
I was in Target today. On the ceiling, next to the aisle markers, Christmas decorations were already strung up. Halloween just ended(sort of), and now they're going straight to Christmas? Thanksgiving is day to give thanks for things we have been blessed with. Sure,Christmas is "'apparently" Jesus' birthday, but we don't know. The Bible says it was in the spring, not the middle of harsh winter.
Speaking of which, it's cold outside. I'm surprised snow hasn't arrived yet. Of course, the sun has been blaring for the past few days, to my dismay. I'm not a fan of sunlight. I like clouds. Sue me.
Band has come and gone. We had an absolutely AMAZING year. Fifth overall at bandmaster's was our best achievement yet. It feels as if it were yesterday, I walked for the first time into the band room.
School this year is different. We get to take a language, mine being Latin. It's semi-hard, but not as hard as translating the Dead Sea scrolls into Arabic. Don't ask. We had to read an epic(yes,that is a word) book called The Odyssey by Homer. Homer was the J.K. Rowling of Greecian times. The book wasn't bad, jut very,very detailed. I found some very good quotes that I plan to use regularly. Maybe.
Other classes are fine. I don't plan on getting into details about the rest. same basic classes; Algebra, English, Biology(actually, I'll go into that class at a later point), Bible, and World Geography. It's not a bad line-up, but without a study hall ever, I've got to book it(band quote #1).
Biology. Is. Not. Fun. The class itself isn't bad; it's the teacher that is inadequate. She reads directly from the book. Like, DIRECTLY FROM THE BOOK. She provides personal opinions that are pointless. She demands for us to believe things she believes. In a very vulgar, modern way, she sucks as a teacher. Yeah, I went there.
Frankly, I can't think of anything else to say. So, yeah.
