Class Ring

  I was recently cancelled from an internet service provider for being on too much. Which would be totally understandable if we paid for a certain amount of hours per month. But no, we paid $20/ month for supposedly unlimited use (18-22 hours a day is pretty close to unlimited use isn't it? I thought so too).

 So now were using a provider that's much slower and much shittier that the other, and for some reason my parents like it more. GO FIGURE

   OK, I just discovered a world-wide government conspiracy: frogs. Sounds strange doesn't it? Well, these are the facts:
  * Frogs have all day to sit around and watch people, and nobody thinks twice about them being there. Therefore they make the perfect spies.
  * They can get into the most hidden of places. Which makes them more efficient at what they can do. Think about it, they live high up in the trees, they live on the ground, and they can live in very aqueous environments.
  * They all report back to a higher force that coordinates all movement. (Hey, where do you think they go all winter?) The frogs are a separatist organization, bent on taking back the earth as their rightful home.
  But on the other hand we have our allies! Fish, snakes and birds. They three eat a lot of frogs. Therefore, we must all do our part to rid the world of frogs, and promote the growth of snakes, birds and fish.

       Well, here I am. 2:43:24 a.m. It's seems kinda silly that I should be sitting here so early, but I'm bored and sleeping is definetly boring. But I expect that my mom will come down stairs pretty soon and wonder what the hell I'm doing on the puter so early in the morning.
       I mean I s'pose I could go to bed, but I'm just not tired enough to go to bed.
       I got to thinking about what makes things appeal to different people. Why is it that I like ska, but not rap? And someone else like rap and not ska? What makes people buy Mountain Dew over Surge? (besides the obvious) It's kinda weird.
       Some people like to blame it on the upbringing. I think that's bull. Even the most isolated of people can learn to love being around other people.
       Think about that for awhile before you say you don't like something. You can't truly say you don't like it until you've tried it. Especially when it comes to foods... speaking of which, I'm gonna have some breakfast and go to bed. *L* G'morning to ya!

Allright folks, here I am again to protest this whole school violence issue again. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE?!I don't understand how it's possible for students to be able to get away with shit like this. And what makes me even more upset is that nobody knows where the appropriate place to put the blame.

Ultimately, in every one of these situations, the only groups at fault are the government, gun shows and the NRA. The plain and simple truth is that if it were harder for people to get guns in the first place, chances are really good that kids wouldn't be able to get a hold of them and shoot all their classmates. You may be asking yourself, why gun shows? Well, here are a couple things you may or may not know about gun shows:
1. You can buy guns (illegal or not), over the counter, with no backround checks (which are required by law to go with a waiting period, when you buy a gun from a store.).
2. You can't trace ID numbers through a lot of gun shows. You just never know if a gun you might be buying is stolen or illegal.
3. Guns, ammunition, and body armor is significantly cheaper at these shows than it is at stores.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a proud owner of a gun and a NRA trained shooter, but it's apparent that I must hold a higher respect for guns. But it's people who abuse their 2nd amendment right to bear arms, who make life difficult for everyone else. I do believe that everyone has the right to posses and (properly) use a firearm, however, I do not believe that people have the right to buy illegal, assault-type rifles and use them for hunting down and killing people.

I s'pose I ought to add one more responsible party to the list... that's the internet. Did you know that there are several sites devoted to telling (and/or selling) people information on how to build various types of explosives? Or how to modify guns so that they become automatic? Or how to beat the system when it comes to backround checks? It amazes me. It absolutely amazes me that there isn't someone that can regulate what kind of stuff goes onto the internet.

As usual, I feel the need to give the flipside of the story. Everyone, by constitutional law, has the right to say whatever they want, amass and use an arsenal of weapons, and then use the constitution in their defense. After all that's why it's there, right?

Here's a little bit of something for you to think about... One of the kids shot his friends prom date in the head, she later died. One of the kids was a Boy Scout, unfortunately he was a follower and followed the wrong leader. Both of the kids were in the same separatist, non-conformist high-school group of friends. They were infatuated with Hitler,the Nazi movement and long, black trenchcoats. But aside from three of those things, you know someone just like them, ME. I'm not a follower, I haven't shot any of my friends, and I hate Hitler, the Nazi movement and long black trenchcoats. BUT, I was and am still a Boy Scout, I still proudly associate with a separatist, non-conformist group of friends, and we don't do anything even remotely similiar.

I think that people just need to realize that there are people out there who are just really wrong in the head, and don't belong in society.

I've got my externship squared away with Derek's dad. I'm coming home for my summer break in a little over a week and I'm more than ready for it.

I haven't done anything outrageous like change my hair color, but I might, I still have a week. Unfortunately I have to limit it to natural colors so that the school doesn't freak out. *L* They passed a rule after I colored my hair that "...noone may color their hair a color other than natural shades of blond, brown, red or black. Bastards... Don't they know that if you take a lighter shade of black you can get any color other than white?

I'm so tired of this city. I definetly consider myself burning out on living here. I'm tired of it all. There are exactly 4 reasons I'm still here.
1. I told my dad I would stay till the divorce is settled. (Reason #1 I want to get the fuck out of this state.-I'm so very, extremely tired of being the other parent. There's absolutely no reason why I should be in this position right now.)
2. I promised Steve I would help him get through highschool.
3. I love my job at Muffeletta's.
4. I can't afford to move.
