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.

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.
Don't Panic,
Elliot

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.

Don't Panic(again)
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,
Elliot

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.
So Long and Thanks For All the Fish,

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...
So long and thanks for all the fish,

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,
Elliot
