I can't think of anything I want to yell about now. If you have any ideas mail them to me.
Ok, this is my first rant so it'll probably be unorganized, sloppy, repetetive, etc but who cares? My problem is people stealing my hat. It's pissing me off. Actullay, I didn't mind as much a little while ago. I've had hats stolen for like a couple days and I wasn't too mad. But now I just get really mad because for some reason all the girls' nails are getting sharper and their aim is getting worse. The last 3 times someone has taken my hat I've been jabbed in the eye twice and had my face cut. If you must take my hat then fine, but please don't take any of me with it. I think I either need to stop wearing hats or I need to wear one with a very wide brim to hide my scarred face. Or I could simply get a gun, 'cause hey, would you steal the hat off the head of a guy with a gun? No, no you wouldn't, because I'd shoot you in the face.
Probably twice.
Ok, I have a bone to pick with the rest of you web site owners out there. How many of you know HTML? Do you know Java? Script? Do you know ANYTHING? If your hand is down then you are a lazy, half wit hack who should stick to plowing fields and flipping burgers and stay the Hell out of web site creation. It’s not that I think you’re stupid, it’s just that you could spend the 30 minutes to learn it. It’s not hard. I’ll even loan you my HTML guide book if you ask. I don’t even mind if you use the easy programs. Web designers use them. You should just learn what you’re programming first. It takes no effort start by using one of the non-raw HTML programs like GeoBuilder but then again, neither does flipping burgers. So get back to work, and yes, I want fries with that.
Ok, I got beef. But that isn't my problem. My problem is what the beef is on. Potatoe bread! I hate that stuff. Ok, so I was really not hungry today but my mom kept bugging me to eat something so finally I was like "If you want me to eat then you can get me something....BITCH!" except without the bitch part because I value my life. So she comes back with this sandwich. It looks like an ordinary sandwich on the outside but once I took a bite...I'm telling you, potatoe bread is baked by the Devil. So my mom keeps trying to get me to eat the sandwich which is like saying, "I know you don't like running 20 miles a day but it's good for you." where upon I offered her the potatoe bread. This is where for some reason she'd open her mouth and stupid things would start falling out. Like "it's an aquired taste". Y'know what? Another bite and I think I'd have started aquiring muscel disorders. Just sitting next to it was giving me a headache. So I warn all of you: you may like potatoe bread but I don't so just get me an ordinary white bread sandwich.
I was abducted! My parents told me I had to go to a wedding in Chicago that would make me miss a couple days of school and tech. I didn't want to go but finally I had no choice. I decided it wouldn't be so bad. After all, it would be in Chicago and that's cool. And my freshman friend Kelly who loves Chicago begged me to bring back some dirt. So I went to Chicago...or so I thought. We drove FOREVER and when we finally got to Chicago guess what happened? We drove around it! We didn't even go in. Aparently I had been the victim of misinformation, lies, and parent-supported propaganda! The real destination was Wisconsin, AKA The State of Nothing. "It's like an author wrote a story and placed it in Wisconsin but he forgotto describe the setting." The wedding itself wasn't bad, although it was cold. I got to see a lot of relatives I hadn't seen in forever. That was cool. Then I got the joy of another eternity riding back home. On the way, however, I managed to get them to stop in Chicago so I could get Kelly the dirt, so that turned out ok. I am NEVER going anywhere again.

Many times a person will ask me some silly question beginning with, "Why don't you..." such as "Hey, you have quite a bit of chocolate. Why don't you share the chocolate?" This presents me with a delema. I have two choices and I can never decide. My first choice is to reply "Why don't you shut up?" but that just isn't strong enough sometimes. Sometimes I need something more shocking. That's when I use, "Why don't you burn in Hell?" which I am aware is incorrect seeing as how the Pope now claims that Hell is, in fact, not burning. I, howver, am not Catholic so the question is still valid. Unfortunately I find this response can cause shock, hurt, and anger. These are all things I wish to avoid. So what am I to do? I need a middle ground, a non-offensive yet solid response. Please help me. "Why don't you think of one yourself?", you may ask. Well why don't you...DAMN!

What in this world comes from the Devil? Some would say war, others hate, and yet others would point to the obvious conclusion of Barny. This answers are all correct but as my AP Euro Hist teacher would say, "They're not the MOST correct answer." The "most" correct answer is PreCalculus. Not only is it a source of hate but they say that idle minds are the Devil's...something-or-other. Workshop? Something like that. Anyway, I can tell you that no where in the world are there more minds being more idle than in that classroom. Especially mine. Hey, I wonder what the Devil is using my mind to make. I hope it isn't PreCalculus books.

Summer of '00 I went to NYLC, a program that was kind of loike a politicol training camp. The people I met there were all very intelligent individuals but sometimes even the best of us have very...questionable views. I got this in the mail:
THE NEW SCHOOL PRAYER
This was written by a teen in Bagdad, Arizona.
This is incredible!
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen
If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus said, " if you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
I decided that required a reply:
Ok, I'm not going to rant or anything because once I start ranting I end up not stopping until the mail is like three pages long and no one cares anymore. What I will say briefly is that I strongly object to the wording, connotations, and overall theme. That whole "religious persecution" thing is what sent the first settlers to America in the first place...well, at least the people up North. Us Virginians came for the money =) We didn't find any though. Anyways, that's not the point. The point is that while I agree fully with being able to bow your head and pray silently, as soon as you start preaching verse and encouraging prayer in others than it becomes all different kinds of bad. That's the entire idea behind secularism. If we're going to all pray in school than every church sermon should be started with the Pledge of Allegiance. If you want to put the Ten Commandments in class rooms then the Constitution should be hung in every church, nice and big where everyone can see it and marble in it's glory. The other thing that really bothered me about that poem is the line, "Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles." What is that? That's like saying we're being exposed to the KKK, the Green Party, and Canada. One of them is bad but the others have absolutely nothing to do with it. Who wrote this poem? Did they live their life in a convent or not allowed to read anything but the Bible? The mere implication that native American religions and Wicca are in the slightest way tied to a Christian devil that they do not believe in is atrocious and shows a profound lack of research, tolerance, and understanding.
If you would like to be a guest rambler then you can mail me your rant and I'll rate it and post it.
