Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at.



aloha! I haven't written a blog in such a long time. I've been extremely caught up with schoolwork which I've should've dealt with a long time but being the procrastinator that i am i finish them at the last minute. but on a good note I finished up all my assignments. now for a more considerable topic.

SUPERMAN OR JUST A REGULAR GUY.


As many of you know the inauguration of President Barack Obama was on Tuesday January 20th 2009. My school made most of the classes in my school watch a piece of it. The room never buzzed as much ever since I've been there my four years.
Alot of students divulged out words like change, transformation, black president. The noises they made was a cry of joy. Teachers had big smiles plastered on their faces as they watched the inauguration. For the first time I actually saw some of the students who rarely listen to anyone, meticulously listened to everything Obama said in his speech. They had the look of exhilaration. As if change was coming right there and then. When it ended we all left the classroom we were all bunched up in, kids still screaming out change.

I really dislike the fact that people automatically assumes change is coming just because there is a black president. Just because Obama says he's going to do this or he's going to that doesn't mean it's all going to happen at once. In fact, some things might not happen at all. He's not perfect, no one is. Yes, he is the president but there is so much things he could do for the United States. People have to realize that it's going to take some time for events and innovation to occur. He's not god rather he's not the person you worship. The world has to realize that. He may say this but he could actually do something else. Everybody does it. So why do people feel as if he's not going to do nothing wrong? Everybody's so eager to watch what he is going to do and will back up everything he does. Which is fine, but just remember at the end of the day we all entitled to our opinions. Just because Obama believes something is wrong or right doesn't mean your wrong. That's not the case at all. I just hope people get the chance to realize this.

resolutions and asspot Procrastination

today is January 3rd of 2009. My,oh my!. Usually around these times I have a necessity. It is a " necessity" that everyone else seems to have during these times. This necessity is done the day before new years or for the people that decide on choices the day of an occasion, they do it on New Years day. This little necessity rather huge necessity is to make a resolution. Over the years I managed to make these " elusive" resolutions thinking that I might actually achieve them. Some were getting my first kiss. That resolution is probably one of the most favorable resolution any girl can have. Another one of mines was to stop being so gee Dee(god damn) over sensitive and open up to people. Boy, did I let myself down that year. But then I've come to realize something about myself. I'm such a gee Dee procrastinator. Let's say there is a project that is due in a week. This project is like a midterm or whatever. Or let's say counted as a test. Ack. *notice my distaste in the subject*. I mean not to get off topic or anything like that, but uh, why do teachers count shit as test? That is like their easiest way to slack off. They do this because there are no papers to grades, less time to waste, and just like the rest of us they actually want to enjoy their time away from school as possible. Shit, I find almost every excuse not to be stuck at school.

But that besides the point.
Me, being me, I do this project 2 days before it's actually due. Why? I'm the biggest procrastinator in the world. I'm the girl that studys straight before a test. Like the period before. Or if I'm in a really good mood I study the night before.

Geez, I swear I don't know what is wrong with me.

So this year I decided not to make a resolution. I did this because I know I can't keep a promise to myself. or rather I procrastinate a extreme bunch. I have to stop this.
