Top Ten Best Thing in the World.


I've done a few countdowns on this blog, but today i figured i'd step it up a notch. Mostly due to the fact that this might be my last blog. Ever. Period. So today I will say the top ten things in the WORLD. These aren't really in any specific order I suppose. Except probably the ones towards the bottom.

10. Video Games. I'll be honest, I am not really into video games, I play them occasionally but I get really really bored with all games easily. But it's still nice to have the option of controlling the person who kills everyone, rather then just watching it on the tv.

9. Cars. Not like super fast cars that cost millions of dollars and I'll never be able to afford, ever. But just the good old fashioned kind of car that just gets you from point A to point B. I'll be honest and say that I hate cars cause all they seem to do is break, but it is nice to have upgraded from having to walk my virgin wife through the desert to have a baby to just bein able to hop into my hoopty and take her to the hospital.

8. Computers. Basically along the same lines of how I feel about cars. They break alot, but it's nice to be in touch with the outside world. Whether its weather, sports, news, random things noone cares about, videos of a group of cheerleaders beating a girl, or other things, they can all be found on the Internet. These definately break alot, and it seems like you have to get a new computer every month in order to keep up with the Jones' but everytime my Internet goes out, I always realize how dependent I am on the dumb thing.

7. Ipods. I remember a time when only like 5 kids had one of these things, and all 5 of them were spoiled brats. Now it seems like everyone has them even though they have yet to drop the price to anything reasonable. It's nice to be able to put your whole cd collection onto one small portable machine and listen to it. Or if you're willing to go all the way, you can put your whole cd collection, your life history, you're entire computer's hardrive, your cat, a couple more songs, and your baby pictures on the thing. Personally I'm waiting for the 1 Terabyte Ipod before I consider upgrading.

6. Family. I apologize for the lack of comedic twang on this one, but I'll go ahead and say it is a pretty good one. It should probably be number one, but let's be honest, it just wouldn't be me to put a serious one for number one. Deal with it.

5. TV. Alot of people say they don't watch much TV. I think I probably do. It's not really because I have a lack of other things to do. It just seems like the only real option whenever I just get home from school and I'm the only one there and plans for the rest of the night have yet to be made. I think I like TV shows better than movies. My tiny attention span seems to appreciate when the thing I'm watching at most goes an hour rather than like 9 in an uncomfortable chair with drunk women next to me.

4. Africa. This is definately my favorite continent. It's got sweet stuff like all the exotic animals, and monkeys. Apparently the locals hate monkeys and they are extremely obnoxious but since I'm just an ignorant American teenager, I'll feel free to go on liking whatever I want to like. Seems a bit unfair that a country full of sweet landscape, and jungles, and sweet animals has to be getting the shaft like that. But what can a young boy do I suppose other than write a blog for a school project and hope that one of my million fans sees this and takes action. Save the place people.

3. Sticking it to the man. Being a rebel with a cause. Can't say I approve of rebels without causes because thats obviously pointless and if they don't have a cause, thats usually because they are only rebelling for attention. Be a hippie, belive in something that doesn't hurt anyone, fight for it. Trust me, I'm deep.

2. Chipotle. Probably not the most authentic mexican food due to the fact that it's owned by McDonalds, but hey, fake things seem to do the trick for me. Lots of food, for lots of money. People complain about gas prices being so high because it's a necessity and they have to buy it and it's so expensive. Well Chipotle is a necessity and I have to buy it. I'm going to start complaining that they need to lower the cost of rice per barrel, and tortilla shells. Drop the prices big business, quit keeping the hungry man down!

1. Opposable thumbs. Let's all be honest, putting me forcing my relgious beliefs on you aside, this is probably God's best idea. Without them I wouldn't be able to play video games, getting on the computer would be harder (not impossible but definately harder). Eating Chipotle would make me look like an animal and how am I going to attract a mate of the female species with my face dug into a burrito bowl with sour cream all over it. We definately wouldn't be able to use Ipods. This one might actually help out Africa because it would be harder to wage war with guns n' such without opposable thumbs. However if we didn't have them, the monkeys would be superior, and might take over Government and enslave us all. Plus sticking it to the man would be harder, it is definately harder to paint a sweet down with Government sign if I don't got the thumbs.

Well thats it. If the teacher continues this biggotry she calls a project and makes me do another one, then I shall. If she is gracious and lets it die since school is almost out then I won't. If I don't see you, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Night.

Top Ten Worst Predicaments to be in.


Well as life goes on we'll all encounter many different experiences. Same may be good, some may be bad, and some may end up getting the best of you. But no matter what happens to you, you should always perservere. So here it is.

10. Going on a blind date and your date turns out to not be what you hoped for. Maybe a dude. That would be bad.

9. Moving in with a roommate who does not have the best hygiene.

8. Living in the wild, with bears, when one turns on you. Ouch.

7. Being in a large body of water without the ability of swimming.

6. Being in the desert.

5. Being in the desert...... with no water.

4. Being in the plane about to crash with your tray table down and your seat not in its upright position.

3. Running with a pair of scissors and falling. You imagine what happened after that.

2. Having total strangers make you feel awkward by talking to you about things that you probably wouldn't even talk about with friends.

1. Being in the movie theatre, watching a good movie, when a drunk woman sits next to you. She then asks for napkins when you have none, asks how to turn off her phone when its her phone, and then staring at you saying some nonsense about white boys. Also she is talking very very loudly with her boyfriend so you can't pay attention to the movie.

May the gods have mercy on your soul and not give you number 1. Trust me, it's not fun. Basically some of the others you can get out of. Actually most of them your going to die in, so do your best to avoid these things, and if you ever end up in one of these situations, remember my blog as your dying thought.

Happy Holidays?


As I've gained years to my life, not many compared to some, I've realized that most holidays are a waste of my life. Christmas seems to be the only holiday even worth noticing. All the other holidays, I don't get any presents for, and I don't get any cards with money in them. All I really get is another lousy day at work. Here's a list of holidays and how I feel about them.


Halloween- Waste of time, don't even get school off and if you go trick or treating you're usually insulted.


St. Patricks Day- Results in many drunken fights and car crashes and I'm not 21 yet so how is this any fun for me. All I get is pinched because I never remember what day it is.


Valentine's Day- Sucks.


Easter- From a religious perspective I suppose it's not to bad, but after that one year when I was five and got a robot gorilla for Easter I've never received another Easter present since. Just lot's of eggs that I give up looking for after 2 minutes.


Christmas Eve- Taken it back a couple months. This day does nothing for me also because it just so happens that Cracker Barrel is open on Christmas Eve so I have to work. At least they order us pizza.


President's Day- Gets me out of school, not to bad I suppose.


Memorial Day- Why can't we remember our troops earlier in the year and give me a day off school?


4th Of July- I suppose this one is all a matter of opinion because I personally get pretty bored with blowing things up after 4 hours of blowing things up.


TheEth Day- This holiday i admittingly love. We get off school, I get money and presents.


Thanksgiving- Me and this holiday have a love hate relatioship. I like the food, but that day at work is a horrible one.


There you have it, TheEth Day and Christmas, the only one's you should even consider celebrating.

Uncomfortable



Today I've chosen to list the top ten most uncomfortable things that I can think of. The list never stays the same for long due to the fact that there are many uncomfortable things on this rock we call Earth. I'm sure the list is different for every person but these things that I've thought of have to rank on every person's top 50 at least. These aren't really in order from worst to least worst just a random collection of bad things.


1. Having a tummy ache and being stuck in a hot classroom which you cannot leave.


2. Getting a weird pain in the corner of your nose which hurts alot.


3. Getting a porcupine's quills stuck in you.


4. Being slapped on the lower back.


5. Falling on your side and landing on your keys. Girls may not relate to this one due to the fact that they generally keep their keys in their purses rather then their tiny unuseful pockets.


6. Being poked in the eye.


7. Getting in a minor car accident. One where your just sore from the crash not dead.


8. Having a tummy ache in general.


9. Having a headache behind your eyes.


10. Getting punched in mid section when you're not ready for it.


Life brings many joys and many pains. But when it comes to these ten things, thinking about them almost scares me enough to make me want to just stay at home for the rest of my life. And actually some of these things could happen even if I do stay home, so I suppose the only solution is to plead insanity and be locked into a small white padded cell where no one ever gets to see me and my arms are tied to me in a straight jacket making it so I can't accidently poke myself in the eye.

December 2012.....Doomsday?


As many people know the Mayan calendar along with other ancient civilizations calendars end December of 2012. Many people assume that this means that it will be the end of the world. Whether it be the poles of the earth changing, a dust cloud messing the world up, the sun getting to strong, or the super volcano underneath Yellowstone Park many people believe something will happen ending all life on the large rock we call earth. I'm sure that as 2012 approaches we'll see more and more fanatics holding up signs in streets and going and stocking up on canned food and water. However to me it seems like all the other 5000 times the world is supposed to end.



With the poles changing, they are said to change every 700,000 or so years. Scientists can't pick an exact date one when it will happen. It could happen tomorrow or in 900 years. For the super volcano it's the same scenario. The dust cloud wouldn't kill off everyone on earth, can't say that a giant cloud of space dust really worries me. And scientist know that the sun won't explode for another billion or so years.


January 1st, 2000- Many computer programs were having glitches when they were working past the date of January 1st, 2000 so everyone assumed all electronics would shut down and we'd all die. Didn't happen.



June 6, 2006- Date of 06/06/06, the mark of the beast in the bible. Many people thought we would die then. Instead a movie called The Omen came out making this the closest guess to the end of the world.



These are just two examples of when people said the world will end. Many more times has a "prophet" or two come along saying we are all going to be burned to a crisp and live in a everlasting hell. I feel like at this point everyone should realize it's pretty tricky to figure out when we'll all die. Besides the Mayan calendar was based off of moon cycles and what not. Who says all those other civilizations didn't base their calendars off the moon, seems like it was a pretty effective way to do things. 2012 could just be the end of a cycle. I mean they couldn't make a calendar go to infinity at some point they had to stop and what better time then at the end of a cycle. They didn't need to go much further due to the point that they wouldn't even come close to seeing past 2012 as we all know now that there aren't anymore Mayan tribes sacrificing their virgins and worshipping their gods.



So will the world end in 2012, I doubt it, but if I am wrong then we'll all be dead, so noone can call me out on it.
