I Kissed A Boy
Okay now why was I like seriously the last person on the Earth to listen to this song? I love Cobra Starship, I love Katy Perry, and I'm like half gay so why didn't I learn about this until like a week ago?
Okay so I know that most of you aren't happy with me for this and won't agree with my opinions on tanning but I'm going to write about it anyways.
In my opinion tanning is not an entirely bad way to start doing a couple of times before Summer starts so you aren't completely starch white when you go to take your shirt off at the beach. I mean seriously people, I love you, but sometimes you are sort of blinding and after I look at you I have to close my eyes for a while. I mean when I sit in between two of my best friends I feel much like an Uh Oh Oreo, and it's kind of weird. So my main point in saying this is that I feel that I am completely justified in going tanning a couple of times before Summer starts so that I can get some color before and so that I don't blind people.
Yes, I do know that a long term effect of tanning is the possibility of getting skin cancer, but seriously what doesn't give you cancer, I mean it seems that one generation does something and then we find out it had horrible long term side effects in the generation after. I mean if you want to fix something that is really killing millions of people go fix the AIDS epidemic and leave me alone. Or in my opinion we could be trying to fix something that will eventually cause the human race to no longer exist and is leaving our planet devastated. Umm, lets see, what could this be??? Pollution of course. And btw the polluting that we are doing is depleting the ozone layer and thus causing millions of people to be overexposed to UV light and is causing the temperature of the Earth to increase. I'm pretty sure that it would be a lot worse if the majority of the world got skin cancer versus just me getting it. So before you worry about me, please worry about the millions of other people that will exposed to UV light that don't want to be.
There are much worse things that I could be doing or could do again. I brought up this point with my dad after he made a big deal about the tanning thing and it got him to shut up. Well, that and the fact that my mom used to tan all of the time and doesn't really care that I'm going even though she thinks it's a waste of money, which I have plenty of.

Beethoven For A Cat
Okay this is by far the cutest thing I have ever seen my cat Hunter do.
I was walking downstairs when I heard a noise that sounded like a tiny piano. This kind of shocked me because I didn't think we had a piano. So I walk into the pool table room which was where the noise was coming from. I peer into the closet just in time to see my cat sitting in front of the baby piano that I had forgotten we had. He was batting the keys with his paws and making his own little song. I snuck upstairs to grab my mom and the camera, but we made way too much noise coming back down the stairs and unfortunately scared Hunter off. My mom says this was like the third time she's heard/seen him doing this. I am now determined to get a picture to put on facebook lol.

Old Friends
Recently I've been hanging out with one of my old best friends, a kid I've hung out with for a majority of my life. He was probably my best friend for about ten years. We had our first beer together, which was Coor's Light (disgusting stuff). He was also the kid that got me kicked out of Walmart twice, once for playing shopping kart tag and another time for an incident which I will not mention, it just included partial nudity. Needless to say he's gotten me in so much trouble I don't even know how I survived without getting killed by my parents. Basically I'm gonna take you through the history of our friendship, leaving out parts that I would be way too embarrassed to mention, stuff that he and I have done that we don't talk about.
So I met him when I was about four, the Summer before Preschool, after I moved here from Missouri. He, his other friend, and I became instant best friends, also having to drag my brother along with us. We hung out every single day after preschool for like six hours a day and on the weekends you couldn't keep us apart. We would play soccer, kickball, or tag in his yard, and then we would ride bikes throughout the neighborhood, I live on a dead end road in Robins so our parents didn't have to watch us, especially since everyone on the street's parents were really good friends and we had eyes on us at all times. By the time we were about eight, we were even better friends and this is the point in my life where we started to suffer injuries playing together. We were walking his dog, which is a pretty good sized Husky. He handed me the leash for minute, at which point the dog decided to take off after a squirrel, dragging me through the gravel on our street and giving me a pretty big gravel burn on both arms, my chin, and almost breaking my wrist. Another time we were having a "battle" in my pool, he decided to kick me while I was by the edge of the pool. My head hit the deck and I got knocked out and started to sink to the bottom of the pool. He told me that he screamed for my parents and then my dad came racing and pulled me out of the pool and took me to the hospital. My friend was beside me the whole time I was there. I had to get stitches on the back of my head. The second time I got knocked out with him was when he, my friend Michael, and me were playing golf in my yard and he I started an epic battle with our golf clubs. He pushed me right into the swing of Michael, who accidently hit me right above my eye, knocking me out before I hit the ground. Suprisingly this time I didn't have to get stitches. I got him back plenty of times, though I ahve never knocked him out. My dad made both of us Nun Chucks, we were playing with them one day and I wasn't watching what I was doing, of course, I accidentally crack him really hard on the head and gave him a gigantic lump that stayed for like a week or two.
As we got older it just became him and me after our other friend moved away and now goes to Jeff., we only got closer. We started to talk about everything and I mean EVERYTHING. I mean puberty is a lot easier to go through if you have someone to talk to about it and that's exactly what we did. Also he was the one that helped me discover that I was bisexual and he supported me throughout the time it took for me to figure out who I really was. For my entire middle school life we were inseperable and hung out every night after school even if we were grounded, we would find a way to hang out. Many times we would sneak over to each others houses around 1 AM and we would play video games til we got caught or passed out on his couch.
Entering high school was an awkward test for our friendship. We started seeing each other a lot less, and the time we spent together just kept getting more and more awkward though we were still as close as two guys could be, believe me when I say this. I'm not gonna go into anymore detail than this but when he and I hung out we didn't just play video games or jump on my trampoline anymore, anyone who really wants to know can ask me in private.
So... eventually we just didn't see each other anymore, and when we did it was like once every four/five months. But now he and I have been hanging out lots and are a lot closer than we used to be, so that's what has basically sparked this post.

Shuddering At The Thought Of Another Year Of Band
I have been feeling so burnt out with band it's not even funny. It's not just regular band, it's Jazz band too. It's not that I hate band, it's just that I hate having like ten band related things that I am pressured/forced to go to every month. I absolutely hate our band director for wind symphony. He is the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen. He just plain sucks at directing, and he never gives us anything to be motivated about. The kennedy band program is going down the toilet and I really don't want to be associated with it anymore, the only thing keeping me hanging in there is that I really want to do marching band one last time. I swear to god marching band was the only thing keeping me from dropping out before midterm this Spring, and god I really wanted to drop both band and jazz band, which is a complete waste of time because we suck badly. I know I am going to quit after marching band season is over and I'm pretty sure my parents aren't going to be happy about that but screw them, my life I can drop band if I really want to. Everyone is saying that I'm going to be missing out on so many great opportunities if I drop band, but I really don't care. I don't want to be a music major and I will not budge on that no matter how hard anyone tries to push me *cough* private lesson teacher *cough*. If I really wanted to make shit money I would do something that's actually helpful aka become a trashman, that's way better for society than a crappy musician would be.
So I basically have my mind made up on this and I am NOT going to budge.

Quotable Quotes
Okay here is a list of funny quotes I have found
Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils ... - Louis Hector Berlioz
Hilarious but unfortunately true, it seems as people gain enough wisdom not to be stupid anymore they die, but people mostly die from doing stupid things
Men are like parking spots, the good ones are taken and the free ones are handicapped.
I'm not exactly sure whether to be offended or impressed, but this does express most of my feelings towards other guys with one exception, not enough are gay or more specifically out.
I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.
Proving women are truly evil lol, and this isn't funny I'm claustrophobic =)
Girls are like phones. We love to be held, talked too but if you press the wrong button you'll be disconnected!
So true, So true. I feel the same way even though I'm not a girl, but if you make the wrong move you lose it with me too.
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
I'm not sure why I laughed my ass off when I read this, I'm not sure if I'm morbid or not, but I do laugh when people die in movies
Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers. - Homer Simpson
HAHA IT FUNNY CUZ IT TALK BOUT LOTTERY LOL, i don't get it =( OH HE TALKING TO HIS SON ABOUT WORKING YET HE LAZY AND BUY LOTTERY TICKETS, I GET IT NOW =)
You laugh because I'm different...........I laugh cause I just farted!
AARON in german class, ughh I don't even wanna think about that nasty fart last week
What are the three words guaranteed to humiliate men everywhere?'Hold my purse.'

Kinda funny but mostly morbid =(
"Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." - Douglas Adams
OMG kind of the story of my life, except when I hit the ground I stay there, for a very long time
You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'. -Homer Simpson
This is now my new motto, I shall never try a single thing again and thus will never fail, shit just failed that german quiz what's new? Except that I have never failed one yet.
Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.
And I believe I hate APUS
When I was kidnapped, my parents snapped into action. They rented out my room.
Sometimes how I feel, lol, jk
If your wife wants to learn to drive, don't stand in her way
I get it, because women are horrible drivers along with Asians and really old people, I don't really feel this way I'm just stereotyping
Men should be like Kleenex, soft, strong and disposable. - Mrs. White, (Clue 1985)
Tis true, yet a woman shalt stand by their man and be quiet, never seen outside the kitchen unless needed, and never to speak unless spoken too. Once again I don't really feel this way, I just felt like saying it.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
MY Computer actually beat me at that too, I have scars to prove it.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.
HAHA Free speech is a joke
"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." -George W. Bush
OMG one of the smarter things Bush has said
For diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible - and no one can now doubt the word of America. -George W. Bush
OMG just think about how much shit America has done to the rest of the world and then you tell the rest of the world to trust us, what is wrong with that picture
There will be more quotes to come at a later date...

Freaking Crazy Lady
Okay this teacher who will remain nameless gave us an insane asignment that I totally am loathin her for. We have to present a fifty-five minute review session for the class. Not just one review session two review sessions. I totally hate this teacher. She gives us bull crap assignments that don't teach us anything all the time. Like on friday she made us go to the IMC and research and write a two page paper in one period that wouldn't be accepted after the period was over. She is freaking crazy, how can she expect us to do stuff like this. She says, oh it's just getting you ready for college. Um.. seriously no it is not. When are we going to have to write a paper and do the research for it, which had to have a works cited sheet with four book sources in fiftyfive minutes. The actual work for her class isn't hard at all, though she thinks it is, but it just takes so freaking long to do, like the stupid syllabi she gives us to do that are so long it takes like three hours. Urgh I'm not sure if I will make it through this term. Where is my freetime going?
Kajsa
Okay next subject, I'm pretty sure she's gonna get mad at me for this.
Kajsa- Storm, Rogue, Jean Gray(Pheonix) (sorry Kajsa, I know I told you I wouldn't put you as any girl superhero characters, but it just happened)
Why? First off I would like to say sorry again. First Reason, Storm has kind of a bad temper and when you piss her off whe will kick your ass/zap the shit out of you with a lightning bolt, literally. Kajsa is kind of the same way only a little more level headed, there have been countless times when her anger has been directed towards me and I had no freaking clue what I did wrong. Second reason, Rogue gives people this little look like wtf don't look at me I'm a freak and your staring at me I don't like you which makes you a freak because you are staring at me, which makes me look even more like a freak than before and I'm totally confusing myself so I'm just gonna take off my glove and touch you and steal your powers and shit. That basically describes Kajsa's relationship with me, besides the fact that it's more like what the hell Chris I can't believe you just did that/thought of that. I'm probably gonna get one of those looks once she reads this. Okay third and final reason, one that she will hit me for, is because shes a woman. I actually have a logical reason for stating that. Jean Gray when she is Pheonix, is freaking scary because you can never tell what reaction she will have to anything you say and this scares me a lot when I'm around Kajsa cuz she is sometimes the same way. Okay now some of the good things. Storm speaks her mind all the time and is very open, Kajsa is basically the same way. Okay now Jean Gray is like a freaking genious and also drop dead gorgeous, Kajsa is very smart too and helps me out when I'm being dumb, I'm not gonna comment on the gorgeous thing, but some people may think she is. Lastly Kajsa is not afraid to be unique and that's why she is like Rogue, and is definately why she is one of my best friends, and someone I trust with a lot of the crap that's on my mind.

Okay, so watching youtube videos with my brother is about the only thing that he and I do together. As a couple of my friends now know, he kind of likes to creep around my friends when I bring them over and as Sam knows from a couple of weeks ago, my brother flirts with any chick that comes over to the house because he thinks he's a player. But last night it was really funny because he had been hanging out with one of the idiots I know from our school, he's a total pot head and thinks he hot shit. So when my brother came home he was looking rather interesting like he had been on something and sure enough he starts bragging about how he had been totally high for the last three nights in a row, right in front of my friends. Well I guess it wasn't him who was bragging it was me egging him on by asking how high he got and shit like that. It's totally cool with them though, they had to deal with me all of last year, it's not like I haven't done stupid shit in my life. I just kind of feel bad now cuz a lot of people are saying stuff like, wow, looks like he's following in your footsteps and I'm not entirely sure I want him to screw up his life and get thrown in ASAC, even though I was basically high for an entire year and never got caught. But he's not quite as smart as me and will probably end up getting caught and then my parents will basically put both of us on lock down. Him for getting high and me for not taking care of my little brother, who is bigger than me, when I should be looking out for him.
Okay, now back to the youtube videos, we found these totally cool series of videos that are basically songs that have had stuff done to their pitch that makes it sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks are singing them lol. Totally made me laugh, though they are kind of creepy in a way, all you have to do to watch one of them is go to Youtube, type in Chipmunks and then a song, they have quite a few songs so you can basically find any song you want. Best part is totally the high squeaky weird voice.
Oh and by the way, I must warn you that the chipmunks are outrageously cute, or am I just a little messed up in the head.

Chet Culver Opposed To Amendment of the Iowa Constitution
Chet Culver released a statement yesterday, April 8, 2009, that he would be completely opposed to a change in the Iowa Constitution in order to ban gay marriage. He said that he will ultimately support the Supreme Courts unanimous decision to allow gay marriage.
"I think we have to be very respectful of the equal protection clause of the Iowa Constitution," said Culver. "This court, in a unanimous decision, has stated that it is discriminatory to deny people rights they are given under the constitution.
There has been a proposed ban on out of state people coming to Iowa in order to get a marriage. There is a fear associated with this that Iowa will have a increase in population, especially amongst gays and lesbians. I am actually kind of in favor over something like this because it will allow them to stay in other states and get active in their states. Activism is the one way that we are going to be able to make gay marriage legal in all of the US not just in the handleful of states that allow it now. If people become active then their government is forced to respond. This kind of reminds me of the sixties. The sixties was a decade of protest and calling for change throughout all of the United States. The initial gay rights movement was in fact started off in the sixties and it died down after things like the Equal Rights Act of 1965 happened which garuanteed gays the right against discrimination in the workplace because of sexuality. We need an active movement to make the world a liberal place like it was in the sixties. If we push the issue enough we will be allowed gay marriage in the United States by 2020. I feel that United States is on the verge of some major reform and protest movement because of all of the tension that is building now days. We are in the middle of a war that is almost as unpopular and useless as Vietnam was, we have the largest debt ever in US history and there is no end of it in site and we have this issue of gay marriage. It feels like the time period after the Great Depression of WWII again and that feeling caused the uproars of the babyboomers generation. Who knows what the children of the new millenium have in store for us, but it promises to be something great.

Me- Nightwing
Okay starting out the lists of who I think would be which superheros/ sidekick/ or supervillian.
Me- Probably Dick Grayson's version of Robin/Nightwing
Why? Because Nightwing is ridiculously amazing, don't laugh. Robin becomes quite cool after leaving Batman. Why? because Batman is a meanie and Dick Grayson get tired of all of his shit. Okay, now time to get serious. I think I'm kinda like Dick Grayson because everyone thinks he was the gay Robin, but the gay Robin was actually like two after him. Grayson and Batman have this awkward kind of border line gay connection in the story anyways, like one of the comics shows Grayson waking up in Batmans bed and I'm just like WTF man. That awkward borderline gay relationship thingy basically is the driving force of my life lol. Okay another reason, Grayson was known as the most acrobatic of the Robins and I am quite acrobatic myself, I mean have you seen my Tae Kwon Do pictures, I am such a stud it's not even funny. Third reason, Grayson after he leaves his post as Robin, becomes Nightwing, and independant superhero. I'm basically the inverse of that, I used to be kind of a loner nerd, not even nerd, who no one liked, and I feel as I have gotten older I have become way more attached to my friends and trusting. Fourth reason, this isn't really a reason I just felt like putting it out there, Dick Grayson was Robin at one time and I currently live in Robins, IA, so ya...

Standardized Testing
Today seemed like a way to busy and stressful day, leading to a horrible night, so far. The ACTS, they call for fear to emerge from anyone who is going to be taking them. Yay yet another standardized test that I am going to take that tells me how smart I am versus other students. So when I get my crappy results back from them test, I will dreading it, just like I dread any other standardized test called by it's acronym name; SAT'S, ITED, and ITBS.
Should the rest of our lives be measure according to one test? I think not, multiple factors affect a person's performance on tests like the ACT. Things like, nerves, sickness, and tiredness. Therefore, based on everyone's "best" effort on the tests and answers guessed correctly by very, very lucky people, these tests are not accurate at all. Though it does measure how much you know, it does not measure how lucky you are. There are infinite amounts of questions that could be asked on the ACT or some other test, that I would know, but it just so happens that they chose to put the one question I don't know the answer to on the test.
I had been quite successful in the practice tests, getting a 34 on both of the practice ones before I went to take the actual test. It just so happens that the day before the test, I get sick with this awful, cold, cough and flu bug that has been going around over the past few weeks. So, sitting in the ACT room, and having to get up every ten minutes or so to blow my nose and cough as muffled as I could make it, I began my test. Of course I was feeling like crap the entire way throughout the test so I couldn't focus throughout almost any of it, besides the math because it is the easiest for me. I actually ended up not having enough time to finish my the English portion of my test. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that they were making us answer 75 questions in 45 minutes. That is absolutely disgusting, we have to have time to read and think about the question you know. On this portion of the test we have 36 seconds to answer each question. Say that it takes 15 seconds to read the question, then you on have 21 seconds to think about the question. Along with that you have to read the article it is asking you about, say that takes 3 minutes to read, and you have to answer 15 questions about, that's 12 seconds per question, take that away from 21 seconds and you get 9 seconds to think about your answer. That is ridiculous and no one should have to answer a question in nine seconds. Oh and I haven't even taken out the time it takes to find the corresponding bubble and bubbling in, plus double checking. It is things like this that make me feel like the government has nothing better to do then bother us with tests like the ACT that just cause us pressure.
Needless to say I am taking the ACT over again, hopefully I will be healthy this time. I am still in pursuit of the perfect score, even though I have a new found hate for these tests.

Is Iowa Smarter Than California?
By now we have all heard about the Iowa Supreme Court's unanimous ruling stating that barring same-sex couples from marriage is un-constitutional, but will we be able to keep it here?
That is the question that everyone is waiting to have answered. Already the same groups that organized Proposition 8 in California have started a similar movement in Iowa. Wow why can't they just let the gays have a few weeks of peace before all hell breaks loose and the major protests start. And another thing, why can't people just leave the issue of gay marriage alone. Even though you may personally feel it is wrong, it's not going to affect you in ANY way if two other people, who truly love each other, get married.
I hate it when people say marriage is between a man and a woman. This is not true at all, marriage is nothing but a commitment between two people who want to show their exclusive devotion for each by being in a committed relationship. There are plenty of men and women that get married without being in love, for example the pregnant eighteen year old getting married because of pressure from her parents even though she never loved the guy that got her pregnant in the first place and might have thought of her relationship with him as one of a casual nature. If two gay or lesbians love each other and have the same devotion for each other as a straight couple does, shouldn't they be allowed to be married if they choose to? Especially if they are going to give each other more devotion than a uncommitted couple that just got married out of wedlock.
I have a similar hate for Christians that say that gay-marriage or even homosexual relationships are against the Bible. People are so hypocritic, the Bible tells them to love everyone, yet they hate gays. I believe the only reason that the Bible considers homosexuality wrong is because of the age that the Old Testament happened in. In those days, people were concerned about making the population grow and as of today two guys or two girls cannot have a child. Therefore back in those days it was quite logical that homosexuality might be looked down on. But in a liberal society like today, where we have billions of people on the Earth, there is truly little wrong with that. We have also begun research swapping DNA from a sperm into an egg cell and then having a donor mother carry the baby. We have to be careful with this because males have both Y and X chromosomes and it isn't possible to live without an X chromosome. Each sex cell carries either an X or a Y chromosome, and if two YY chromosome come together then the fetus will die. Therefore the technical probability of two guys having a living child is 75%, a 66.6% chance of having a male and a 33.3% chance of having a female. Two females would have a 0% chance of having a male and a 100% chance of a female. Thus our gender scheme might become unbalanced.
