Oops & The Improbable, Stupid Theory of 2012

Allow me to first say that I apologize. Why? Because I forgot about you dear blog! D: I'm terribly sorry. School has been unbelievably hectic for me and I've been having friend trouble and yadda-yadda. All that stuff. I believe that the reason I'm piled ten-feet-high with homework is because we're starting a new semester and year. Ooh, HAPPY 2011 EVERYONE! :DD

I probably should have started out like that but it doesn't really matter. I apologize for my absence once again and I've decided to keep at it again! I really hope so because I really started off this blog really well and I want to bring it up again so...

Let's begin!!

Just like always, let's begin with a scan of my day.

It's Friday and thank GOD that it's Friday. For some reason I've been really pessimistic lately which is basically going against my personality. I’ve been waking up at 6:20 every weekday morning, not-ready to go to school... I wake up and my first thought: MORE SLEEP! MORE SLEEP! I’m not really sure if it’s that I’ve been going to bed really late... or I’m just getting internally irritated. And I wouldn’t blame my body for becoming irritated because my conscience is DEFINITELY irritated. Though, I’ve forced myself to get out of bed. My friend Abby made a good judgement a few days ago as we were en route for school on an extremely bouncy and creaky bus. “You know, the only thing we’re looking forward to anymore is the weekend,” Then I added, “Yeah and the breaks!” But, frankly, she’s right. That’s all I’ve been longing her anymore. It’ll be Monday and I’ll say, “I can’t wait for the weekend,” And not only do I want it because I don’t have to go to school and spend time with my friends and I get to do things when I want to; I also get to sleep in! I’ve been valuing that lately.

American History –

It was a pretty straight-forward class. It wasn’t strange or abnormal in any way. Though a guy in the class called me a liar because he asked for a pencil and I said I didn’t have one. Which was, in fact, not a lie. I didn’t! I didn’t even have a pencil for today, I had just a blue pen (which is, thankfully, acceptable.) Not only have I been deprived from sleep – just like every teenager on this planet – I’m also deprived of pencils. It is a strange world...

Band –

Band class is always a blur to me, it merges with... just time and blurry-ness. It only sticks out whenever something strange or out-of-the-ordinary happens. And it wasn’t one of those days.

Lunch –

I don’t normally include lunch in my day overview but it was relatively “unusual”. My nose started bleeding. I was in the stall and as I was going to flush the toilet, I felt something warm trickle from my nose. I didn’t really think it was anything until I walked out of the stall and caught a glance in the mirror. It was actually really random and the only explanation for it that the weather here in rural Texas has been so topsy-turvy. It’s been bitterly cold by Texas standards. I’m cold constantly, it’s either my fingers, toes, or nose. And currently my nose is cold as I’m typing this. And it’s been pretty dry so that’s probably why I had a bloody nose. It was embarrassing... somehow...

P.E. –

First of all, I’m sure you know or remember that I have a hatred with the very dark passion of heart for anything that physically tires you, makes you cram, or ache. I am not an athletic person and if you want some proof, read one of the blog posts: The Second Worst Mistake of My Life. Though, today it was actually pretty good. We directly went outside and didn’t do any stretching. I was in as much heaven as I could be in P.E. We ran the shorter sides of the football field and walked the longer. Me and my other two P.E. buddies, Annie and Jennifer, decided to race but we only raced once. I won; surprisingly. Annie was second and Jennifer was last because she has a knee brace. After we did the same pattern of running/walking for a good twenty-five minutes, the teachers blew the whistle and everyone in the class rampaged for the netted bag of assorted balls sitting in the corner of the field. The three of us, once the mob cleared, picked a bright yellow, neon soccer ball and decided to kick it to each other. We later found out the ball’s color was called “Screamin’ Yellow”. Ha. But... It was a lot more complicated than we initially thought.
We would either kick it too short, too long, went between or legs, or you just completely missed the ball and kicked the air uselessly. We were positioned in a triangle and I had my back to a trench-like area and across from it was a sidewalk... well, Annie must have had a devious mind because she made Jennifer and I run after the ball. It would often – actually 90% of the time would roll into the trench and it was a good twenty feet away from our triangular formation. So, one time, Annie kicked it and I was so ready to kick it and I kicked the air and the ball shot underneath my foot. I didn’t even run after it at first, deciding that I would watch it stop before I would run. But... it didn’t stop rolling. It dipped into the trench, rolled through it and rolled down the sidewalk, FARTHER away... Ugh, I don’t like running...
It was an interesting class period but today was like... abnormally pretty. The sky was a deep blue and there were a few specks of clouds lingering in the sky. The sun was warm and the steady wind was cool. It was a nice day... for once...

English –

When I swung by my locker to deposit my P.E. uniform into my locker and to retrieve my stuff for English; I knew somehow, that I was going to die in the class. Why? No, there wasn’t an axe-murderer waiting for me... but I forgot to do my homework!! And not any homework, I forgot to ready some chapters of the book, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee since that’s the book we’re reading now... obviously. And at first, I knew I had forgotten to read three chapters – no biggy. UNTIL!! My good friend Lisa told me that we had to read to chapter 18 and I was currently on... 11...
At that point, I spazzed out! I’m not the type of person who just FORGETS to do their homework! When I stepped through the door of my English class, I knew it was over; I would be found out!
I nearly screamed with joy when I saw a sub stroll out of the classroom and down the hall. I was screaming in my head, “THERE’S A CHANCE!!!” And... here’s what the board said:

AP Practice
Annotations

Not only do we have to READ to book, we have to annotate for various things like character traits, discrimination, and foreshadowing/imagery/suspense. Y’know, all those school-y-type stuff.
We did this AP Practice which has no significant in the blog thus, I don’t want to get into explaining to you what it is because frankly, I don’t understand it myself. We also did an Annotation thing where we had to write down some of our annotations on a notebook sheet of paper and then turn them in.
SOMEHOW, I survived the class and it was over... I don’t want to really get into much more detail because I think my time is running short and I really want to get to the topic for today.
Yes, woo-hoo, that was my awesome-tacular Friday.

NOW, to the topic:

I’m sure you and I – WE all know the theory of 2012. And I mean, THEORY! According to this stupid theory, the world is suppose to “end” on December 21 or 12, 2012. First of all, and excuse my French, but, BULL SHIT!

I have not idea what is getting people so ruffed up and worried about 2012, seriously?! I have a problem with people making a bigger deal out of something that is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

If you can’t tell all ready, I don’t believe it one bit... not even more a moment – millisecond. It’s all conspiracy to get people scared and hyped up about. It’s worthless. You can tell me all you want about how there are “signs” that the world is going to end or other things but, you’re not going to convince me otherwise with this one...

So, apparently, one of the signs of the world coming to an “end” is one; global warming, two; the Mayan Calendar. Those are the most universal well-known signs. Let’s discuss them.

Global warming.

Okay, people are getting worked up over nothing. “Ooh, the world is going to end because the ozone layer is disappearing! Oh, we’re all going to burn and the world will be forever corrupt!” BULL. I’ve been learning about meteorology in science class currently and my awesome science teacher said that our planet goes through periods of warming and cooling. This warming explains that global warming is a natural thing! But... the production of pollution is just speeding it up. And... really guys, we can’t help it. It can’t be avoided. There can be as many protests and Acts amended to the U.S. constitution telling us to cut back of pollution-producing activities or whatever but we just simply can’t avoid it. We’re only human.

Also, the cooling of the Earth explains the Ice Age. We’re just coming out an Ice Age and we’re descending into a time of “warming”. So, no need to flip out and quit your jobs for...

Mayan Calendar.

Yes, yes, the many Indian tribes that inhabited our continents were very intelligent and I think it was the Mayans that created a calendar that was by day, month, and year and since the calendar ends on the 2012; that’s means all time will suddenly cease and we’re all going to die. WRONG.

Did we ever consider the fact that MAYBE the Mayans got LAZY and decided not to finish it? Or from their primal knowledge they had then that they thought we wouldn’t last that long... No one knows! But what I know is that even direct Mayan descendants say it’s not going to end...

I think I rest my case. I don’t know a lot out the subject myself and these were all of the opinions I’ve reached through my silence observation... but guys:

THE WORLD ISN’T GOING TO END.

Enough said.

As a conclusion, I am going to try to get back into my same blogging schedule: Monday and Wednesday. Hopefully, I can keep this up again but I have some pretty good topics coming up. Here’s a sneak peek:

I plan to blog about the Dugger family (look it up), entry titled: I’m Sorry But May I Ask You, What Is Wrong With You?

I also plan to blog about the history of the toilet, entry titled: Thank You, John Crapper.

There’s are some sneak peeks and you all know that request for topics are always accepted because you know, we can all get a bit side-tracked and air-headed. Or other various... diseases that come with memory loose?

BUT! Before you leave, a dear friend of mine, Megan, is starting up a blog, here’s the link: http://cuzucare.blogspot.com/
