100'th post

but yeah. The movie "Once" seems amazing too. I don't know. I really have nothing else to talk about.

hmmm....the protocols of zion. HMMM. Absolutely terrible. Well, the movie is good. So apparently, there are people out there who believe that on 9/11, when the world trade centers fell, 4000 jews didn't show up to their work at the WTC. Wow. Could people be more obsessive. People try to find a reason for everything, a cover-up for everything, even if it does not exist. I know over 3,000 people died. I know people are frustrated and want someone who they can personally take revenge on. I know many people are grown up with the idea that "jews are bad" cemented into their brain. But there is really no one group of people to blame for 9/11.

Speaking of embarassing...look at this race. The world-class runners were on track to getting very, very good times, but the officials lost track of the number of laps! A tragedy only a runner can truly understand.





And don't forget

to wear sunscreen

Mexico Trip




I'll post more on this later.

p.s.
I am amazingly happy.
oh yeah, and you can see, I changed the maps on the right hand side. Now they show the current lightning strikes and radar in the United States.

so many things

ok, so just got back from Mexico, which was amazingly sweet. I saw pretty much everything. Starting with Merida, I had a good mexican city experience, then to Chichen Itza to get the historical background of Mexico, (along with exploring a rainforest), then to Playa del Carmen and Cozumel to view the marine life of the Gulf of Mexico. Overall, it was quite sweet.

Only two weeks into summer. It is amazing so far.

Yeah. Basically.

and, oh, the iphone. Absolutely amazing. Except for the price. But, still...maybe in a year I'll buy one. I'm a loser and watched the whole 20-minute guided tour of the iphone from apple, but there are other shorter reviews on youtube and such. But all of these videos can't do the iphone justice. I actually accidentally ended up going to an AT&T store and actually tried it out, and it is better than any of the videos portrayed it to be.

so, yeah. I actually am sorta splitting this post up oddly, seeing that I am like writing it in pieces over like 4 days...but it was nice in Mexico. The Mexicans saw us as one thing and only one thing. TOURISTS. So, basically, we stood out a bit. Everywhere we went, people were hassling us to go into their stores. For every cab ride, if we didn't ask the price up front, cab drivers would double and even triple the fares if we asked what the price was once we stopped. The last day, we got charged 10 dollars to travel about a mile and a half by cab. It was pretty bad. I would have liked to do a service trip to Mexico with my church or something so that I could be viewed as someone who is solely there to help. Oh well.

But, in a way, being a tourist wasn't the worst thing. What I hate (and this is really random) is when people stereotype me by my looks. Well..not even looks...for some people, if they see a teenage guy on the street, they will cross the road. When I was walking home from fireworks tonight, I was just like walking behind this mother and her kid, along with a million other people, and the mother kept on blatantly turning her head and staring at me. Then she crossed the road. I mean COME ON...I'm not the type to mug people. Why are people so afraid of me?

Soooo....the songs I am loving right now...Breathe in (Frou Frou), Hey There Delilah, and Snow (Hey Oh). Oh yes. Frou Frou makes such good music videos, too.



excuse meee too busyyy writing your tragedyyyy

heheee...time for a Garden State quote
"Even though the past makes you numb to life, make a spontaneous decision to live your life now in the present...because you only get one chance at this thing...everyday attempt to do something that will make up for all this mess."

haha, I used to think quotes like this actually had some significance to me. Except I used to try to apply it to the littlest issues in my life. My life isn't a mess. And I have to stop thinking that quotes like these should have any importance to me.

OH well. Hmmm...running out of things to sayy...launched my rocket today...and lost it in the trees...lol, couldn't have guessed that one. It was pretty sweet, though. OOO and I got my ACT scores back and did wicked well. I am going to college after all!

so, yeah. Summer is sweet. Life is sweet. Everything is sweet.

Peace
