Quite Possibly the Last Pair of Sandals I May Ever Wear Again...

The Nike Air Max Sandals

These are truly comfort. And normally I couldn't care less about looking up shoes, or even sandals for that matter. But since I now own these bad boys, I love wearing them around the house. Perfect feeling after throwing the socks and shoes around the floor to slip these puppies on. Just another slice of modern heaven :)

Facebook & MySpace

For Facebook users, you already know it. Starting June 13th, +all the other timing crap that I have no need for, Facebook will have usernames!!! Which is a disaster. The line between Facebook and MySpace has only begun to blur more. I am saddened by this fact, because it only drops Facebook's greatness another two points, like when Channel 7 created a Facebook. Towards Twitter I urge closer and closer to...revolutions, sometimes they just really suck.

Tracks

Tracks...they're something you follow. From the ones in your mother's head, to the ones animals make in the ground, even to train tracks, something follows them.

Animals make tracks in the ground, not purposely, but of course **** happens. Not the best thing when a hungry man-bear-pig, or any part of it is 'tracking' you down. You can follow animal tracks, most likely they'll lead you to an animal, or away depending on which way you follow them.

Train tracks lead trains to their destinations. Which leads to damsels in distress because the villan has strapped them to the predictable train tracks.

Tracks on a CD or Vinel (spell check please...because I'm too lazy to do it myself). The song would play by the needle 'following' the indent in the disc, producing mucis. Now CD's don't work the same way, but we call a song a track because of old habits. And besides the songs follow one another in a similar way.

My favorite : Hair tracks. These are my favorite because of how they get into someone's head, and how they can come out. Don't know why females put them into their head, but whatever floats their boat. And these tracks, you don't need to follow, when you pull them out, they follow the direction your hand is pulling; unless they're in extra tight, but you'll hear shreiks x100 by that point.

Seatbelts

Seatbelts...they don't always keep you safe. Today, I demonstrated this by handing out birthday punches to my friend as he was trapped down by his seatbelt. So, remember, seatbelts don't always keep you safe.

New Word!

This isn't really a new word, especially for ebonics users, but I think it deserves a post for the shear variety of ways to spell the **** word.

(my spelling) iight (adv or adj) : look up alright

Basically 'iight' is the short-hand of 'alright', which is short-hand of 'all right,' lazy aren't we? But through text messages and IM chats 'iight' has been spelled many ways, such as 'aight', 'ight', 'eyeght' (this one is just weird though). What I've found in common is that each ends in 'ght' so people understand the word.

New Friend Request

Yes, this is another rant upon current social networking sites.

Lately, as within the last 3 months, every week I get 7-10 friend requests for Facebook. I'm not that popular. And frankly I don't care for everyone at Dillard, or went there. The same goes for those going out to UF. If you start contacting me and you speak then it's another story, but if you're making Facebook into MySpace and counting the number of friends you have...get a ******* life. I don't care.

I want to use a social networking group for it's use, to have contact with people. Sure I won't talk everyday, but hell at least use the damn thing (no pun intented). I've been getting requests from people I didn't even know existed until they asked for a friend request. At least it's a quick deny. Anyways I wish stupid people would quit it. Though I doubt it.

What I find to be truthful of some of the social networking sites I do use:

• MySpace: Desires to become Facebook. Tom has a secret profile on Facebook, watches the updates made, copies the code and applies it to MySpace. Part of why MySpace has declined so rapidly recently.
• Facebook: Is becoming much more popular. More so by straight n00bs who know absolutely nothing about web design and navigating pages. Yes, this includes everyone's mother. Only thing that kills me is that people are begining to abuse some of the things I loved about Facebook, and it's pushing me more towards Twitter.
• Twitter: Pure and simple status updates. I love it because you can follow whom ever you'd like (parody of "Whatever You Like" anyone?) without them having to follow you back, or accepting them to follow you. In addition you can still block stalkers. The open access of commenting towards anyone without the need of following or being followed is key I believe, it's gonna take Twitter else where that previous social networks have yet to explore.
• YouTube: It makes rockstars.
• G Talk: No it's not just for gangsters..."I got a G-mail"("So Fly" feat. Yung Joc). Nice chat room curtailed to associates and friends if you'd rather not E-mail them, but still provided through the G-mail services. Plus new things everyday from the 'Labs ' tab to check out and to use.
• Blogger: Another way to rant about social networks.

Purgatory

That's how I feel right now, in the middle of everything.  Though I'm 18, graduated from high school, and even taken some college classes, I still feel young.  There are many things that I am still, and I still have growing up to do.  Thus, I feel in a state of pugatory.  Seated in the middle, I'm an adult when people choose me to be.  I do something wrong, I'm an adult.  I want to stay out all night, I'm young.

I'm ready for college at some parts, but others I'd rather do without.  Similarly I look forward to the privileges, but shun the reprecussions.  Maybe I should just sit back and chill.  And truly sit within purgatory.  Let life pass by.  Then clense myself for college.  In the direction of acting right, and commiting to obligations, not so much prayer...as that is another subject and would screw up the analogy.

I guess that's just how life goes...probably should stop staying up late for starters...naw it's still Summer, gotta keep my internal party alive. LOL

New Word!!

This is a new word that my friend made up.

Treahumor

(or it could be spelled) Tre-a-humor

(adj, n)- to describe ideology that is pothetically stupid, ideology pothetically stupid

Use it in return of a dumb joke or a question that has previously been answered but isn't rhetorical.  Such as : "You have that tre-a-humor, don't you?"  Attempt to not overuse the word or use it to add insult to injury, cause that's just cruel. 

True Blood

I love the fact I have Comcast a DVR cause I have watched so many first seasons during this begining of summer break.  One of which was True Blood, right before the new seaon starts.  I have a couple of annoyances with the characters though, but that denotes a good show.

Sookie: WTF kind of name is that for a chaste southern belle?  Well at least until she becomes a "fang banger."  Really though, when Bill calls her name out multiple times in quick secession, I feel like I'm watching a Japanese porn.  My other issue is that she is a tease.  "But she gave it up to the vampire!"  She gave that much up, but still strings along Sam as well, so she's not that great.

 

Jason: A kind-hearted horny bastard.  A hypocrite on a large scale, but not the worst in the bunch.

Sam: The lover boy.  Stuck on Sookie, even though he's smashing her best friend, Tara.  I find it ironic that he likes to turns into a dog.  He lives in a trailer, but has stacks of money just wasting away, getting lonely in a safe.  He could get the one he wants, just needs to pay a certain waitress a bit

 more, like a certain bar tender.

Tara: My favorite character cause she doesn't take **** from anyone.  Other than the loud mouth and her being extremely gullible, she's fine.  I still don't understand how a fake witch doctor can get you to cough up over $8000, but what a price tag on being healthy?  Then following what's-her-face to a mansion, and living with her...I'm still waiting for the catch.

Lafayette: He's gay, proud of the fact, deals drugs, is a camera whore, a regular whore, and the list continues.  I'm amazed he was walking around for as long as he was.

Bill: He's just being strung along by Sookie.  Really, him and Sam need to go out and get some together and both get over Sookie.  The other thing he needs to stop doing is calling her name out 20 in a row, "Sookie sookie sookie" ends up sounding like "SukiSukiSukiSuki," which sounds like a porn, granted Jason makes the show a soft core porn anyways.

Those are the main characters of True Blood, trust me the Sheriff and his detective are obnoxious as well.  This post reminded me why I hate using multiple pictures within my posts...it just doesn't work well with blogger.

Summer

For students at any level, Summer is the break of all breaks.  Three months pf not having to do a thing...school wise.  Usually it is my time to not care about my normal life back at home, as I am usually not there.

Summer can mean time at the beach, time to get service hours completed, time to catch up with old pals, time to get a job and spend your own cash, time to party.  How ever you spend it, everyone loves it (except for the Chinese, the only culture I know of that has year-round schooling for all students - probably why they kick our ass in SATs).

First thoughts about Summer is vacation, of course.  The second, it's hot as the devil's underwear, in South Florida it gets extra sticky from the humidity, whereas in California it stays dry and uncomfortable.  The climate change from being tilted a few more degrees closer to the sun can be dreadful, that's why Spring and Fall rule as far as climate goes.  But Summer has it's break through it's break, and it gives kids something to look forward to at the end of the school year.

Graduation

All 13 years pf the schooling I have been through are closing.  The basic skills learned over these years has been a whole lot.  Should I be excited?  Yea, probably.  Am I?  Not really.

I love it when people ask me if I'm excited to finally be done with high school, cause come on, who doesn't want to be done with a structured schedule, and being herded between classes by the bell system?  For me graduation from high school is only a stepping stone.  For others it seems as if they have made it.  As if they accomplished a grand scheme against the system.  I feel stuck in the system still, but it's loosening up it's reigns a bit.  Once I'm out of college though, I have a feeling things will only go down hill unless I make something out of myself.  Or manipulate the system.

"Knowledge is Freedom"...first time I heard this was from Papoose of all people.  13 years of school, pretty ******* liberating.  Yet after all these years, in order to have any type of well off life, more than just flipping patties, you must have a degree., meaning more school.  UGH.

So as I see it, graduating doesn't mean any big accomplishment, but another holiday to celebrate and a reason to change schools.

Even worse, graduation is another event for a large crowd to gather and support a class.  It's worse because the valedictorian and saluditorian both speak in front of this crowd, so when they are bad speakers...it's a bad graduation.  Or it's bad when only the student speakers make an impression on the audience, and the rest of the speakers are like Homer Simpson..."Uhhhhh..." and "DOH!"  So that makes me not a fan of such events.

So toss your hats up for them apples.
