Look

I'll blog about cell phone service.

I mean if there's anything more frustrating then cell phone service I'll blog about it next.

Can you hear me now? NO! NO I CAN NOT HEAR YOU NOW! You want to know why?!

BECAUSE I DON'T GET SERVICE ANYWHERE I GO!

Erm...I had to get that out. Seriously though, Tmobile is all like "Here's a map of all the places we have service." And the whole US is colored pink with only small patches of green.

I would like to say that it is most certainly the green areas that are covered.

Not the pink.

Evil Tmobile.

Seriously I can be walking around with five bars but God forbid it let me make a call!

When I have no bars I can call like no one's business!

So you never know what you're going to get!

Thirsty

I'm going to blog about being thirsty.

Why?

I don't know.

It seems relevant...Somehow...We're learning about Africa...Kinda.

ANYWAYS! No one really reads my blog other then me so it doesn't matter! HAHAHA! Excellent.

I really am thirsty though.

I should get a drink.

But I won't until I finish this.

Why?

...Because I want to finish this first.

That's right I put homework above my well being!

-cough-cough-cough-

...I'll just keep thinking that.

Wow, that was a dumb ramble.

I'm ashamed to call it a ramble.

RAMBLES ARE FUNNY AND JOYFUL!

That was dumb and...Dull.

Oh well.

I'll live.

Somehow.

...Maybe.

Unless I die.

Probably from thirst since I won't end this blog.

At least I made it more rambly and pointless...

ENDING THIS NOW!

I Drank That Coffee Waaay To Fast

I think I'll blog about Romeo and Juliet.

We read this book last year but I think it'll be good because it's relevant to the topic(for once) and I can make fun of it! Erm...I mean, discuss how I felt about it...

-Coooooooough-

Frankly I don't understand why this book is considered to be one of the greatest plays ever.

It's just...Ugh.

I mean it talks about how the two families have hated each other for so many years and blah blah blah and how they're fighting in the city and stuff. So you if you think about it there has had to be some past casualties and city disturbences but apparently the King or Duke or whatever he was just gets angry at this last one.

Why?! Why is it that last one?! Is the ruling guy all of a sudden like "Man, I wish those guys would stop fighting, it's really irritating. Someone should stop it."

Then one of his ad visors would be all like "Well sir...You are the ruler."

"OH YEAH! Hahaha! Totally forgot about that for the last few years! OOPS! Haha."

That alone in itself has got to make you wonder if he's been walking around with a paper bag on his head. Or maybe he was just like "Oh look, two of the most powerful families in the land are fighting...Well, it's not like it's my job to get involved or anything. Oh look they killed more innocent bystanders! Haha! Those jokesters. Always know how to make me laugh. Oh haha! They've destroyed more public property! Now I can oppress the peasants even more to pay for all that!"

And if that isn't enough to make you wonder about what these people were thinking Romeo and Juliet certainly are.

If anything I think they're parents would've been trying to hook them up. Why you ask? TO SAVE THEIR MORONIC LITTLE HINIES! Yes, I did just say hiney.

Hope I spelled that right.

Didn't people use marriage as a way to stop fighting or at least prevent it?

I know they hated each other but if the families didn't want to die they could at least sacrifice the stupid lusty children.

Oh pancakes

This is going to be difficult.

Colonization isn't all that funny.

And I can't even use my book! Curses.

AHA! I know what I'll do. I'll rewrite Pocahantas! ...I think Disney made it into a book.

Wow...I did that and it totally summed the movie up...Kind of. You know what I think my work was pretty darn funny so I'll post it and say that's my blog. And don't get me wrong...I love the movie, but I couldn't help myself. I'll just use this as my 'MLA' -coughcoughcough- citation...I sense failure coming my way...I mean...I was creative and interperted the Disney movie with the history of Pocahontas's life...Yes. Exactly.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocahontas


Once upon a time there was a woman named Pocahontas, well in reality she was a little girl but age isn’t all that important so we’re going to ignore it. Anyways, she was very pretty and had long flowing hair that blows in the wind, and even in the absence of wind. Pocahontas enjoys jumping off of 500ft. cliffs, talking to shape shifting trees, and breaking out into song.One day she met a man named John Smith, luckily for her John Smith also happened to be very pretty. His blonde hair does not have the power to randomly blow in the absent wind, but it does have the power of never being messy. Even after people shove him around or he dives into the ocean to save those ugly morons he sails with. John Smith likes guns and little girls...I mean nice well aged woman.

Anyways, back to story. So Smith convinced the Pocahontas to meet him in the woods several times, not like that’s shady or anything and they talk and bond. That must be pretty interesting since neither of them can speak the other’s language, but then again seducing innocent children-Erm, love knows no bounds! Especially when catchy songs about not being racist are being sung and danced to!So while Smith and Pocahontas talk in the woods there’s a fat evil guy who has pigtails held together with cute little bows trying to find a bunch of gold. Somehow he gets the idea in his head that the Native Americans have all the gold. We’re not sure how he made that jump, but he did. It probably has to do with all the fumes from the purple dye he uses to dye every inch of his clothing, other then his cape. Instead, it’s a manly pink!

Back to our slightly creepy lovers. Smith keeps convincing Pocahontas to meet him in the woods (shady as ever) and her friend is concerned about her. FOR GOOD REASON! Think about it...Meeting up late...In the dark...In the woods...With a guy. If there were more friends like this there would be a lot less crime in the world. Unfortunately the friend sends the guy who wants to marry Pocahontas which wasn’t really smart.He ends up going into a jealous rage and trying to kill John Smith, who is saved by his lackey Thomas. I think Thomas was jealous of Smith so he was really aiming for him, but whatever.

If you watch the clip it doesn’t seem like the Jealous/Angry lover gets shot...But he certainly does die so I guess he gets shot somewhere...I mean they only show from the waist up so his heart and head didn’t get shot, so what could’ve brought-...Moving on.

He dies and the Native American’s take Smith prisoner. Thomas is apparently too much of a loser to actually admit to what he did and take the punishment...Either that or Smith decided he didn’t really feel like running right then, and would go for it later. Too bad for him a bunch of Native Americans get there first.

So then the colonist (oh yeah the blog topic!) and the Native American’s break out into song because that’s what most people do before war/execution. Nothing gets you in a blood thirsty mood like singing.

And Smith is about to die but then Pocahontas jumps on him (told you those woods activities were shady) and tells her dad not to kill him.

So he doesn’t.

Forgetting all the pain they’ve been caused they decide to let him go. Which was good since he didn’t do anything really...They should’ve gone after Thomas but whatever.

Then Mr. Manly Red Bows gets all angry and tries to shoot the chief. Oh yeah, because that’ll get everyone on your side. Starting a war so people can watch their friends die, mhmm that’s the way to rally everyone.

Luckily Smith realizes Pocahontas expects commitment so he leaps in front of the chief and gets shot instead. Earning him a ticket back home to London...Which doesn’t make sense...”Yes, let’s send the almost fatally injured man on a several month journey in the rough and unpredictable sea, which will most certainly guarantee his safe return.”

Then they wave goodbye and it’s depressing because that’s the end of all the random epic song singing...Until the sequel with a much more feminine version of John Smith named John Rolfe. Let’s not get into him though.

Aww poor Ed

Zusak, Markus. I am the messenger. New York: Random House, 2002.

I'm doing the same book, so that makes the citing a lot easier!

Okay so my global issue that I'll ramble about is how people don't care enough about each other and don't think they can make a difference.

I think this book shows this problem wonderfully, especially in the end.

I mean the author pretty much made a character who isn't bad or anything but he isn't in any way different from most people.

Most of the time books will have characters who have powers and what not or are special in some way or have at least done something great. Not Ed, Ed was pretty much a loser.

BUT HE STILL DID STUFF!

And at the end of the book he was still Ed, just a better version of himself. He was an Ed who knew he wasn't worthless and that he could help people.

Wow that was cheesey, oh well!

xD

Crap.

Okay, so this first blog will be a make up blog from Wednesday...I don't know if it counts but I'll give it a shot anyways.

So the book I just finished was 'i am the messenger' It was a freakin amazing book to!

Since this is suppose to be about holidays and stuff I'll talk about how Ed(the main character) and his family interacted on Christmas.

His mom was a jerk to him because she thinks he should do more with his life so she treats him like crap and swears at him and calls him names.

I can't imagine having a mom like that...Seriously it'd be all like...
Me: Merry Christmas mom!
Mom: Shud up @#!#%!@$^%$
Me:......I love you.
Mom: -glares-

And that just isn't fun.

He's not very close with his brother either, and barely ever sees him and so when his brother's all like "I'll call you so we can get together" Ed is just honest about it and says "No, you won't."

And the brother agrees! I mean it's just sad!

I do like the honesty though, I mean people always say you should be honest but how many of us are honest about stuff like that?

Not many!

My hands are cold

Okay so I can't MLA cite this...And it's not really a culture...

But I'm going to say it is. It's cat culture.

http://www.colddeadfish.net/internet/catthoughts.html

If you don't own a cat you won't find this funny.

Anyone who does own one should read this.

It's so totally true!

Cats are super different from dogs. Most dogs will not randomly torment a creature.

Cats will for sure torment something for the fun of it.

Dogs will also smuther you with love.

Cats will smuther you because you won't let them scratch the furniture.

I mean I love both cats and dogs..But...Wow.

It is pretty funny to watch.

While I was trying to write this blog my cat kept laying on top of my computer, which can over heat it and make it crash and bad crap like that...

I had to take him off of that thing three times before I finally let him off away from the computer and he ran away.

Cats are evil.

Adorable but evil.
