My new motto

Okay, I know I haven't been on here in a while, but I've been busy with Final Exams. Ugh, I HATE finals. I'm not built to remember things after I take the initial test. Like in science, I learn the stuff, take the test, and FORGET EVERYTHING. So yeah, been pretty busy studying and stuff. But there's only 4 days of school THANK GOD. Because all year everyone has been bugging me. I dunno, I just hated this year. My best friend and me got split up this year and the kids in my class, not that cool. So I've decided I have a new motto: Everybody can suck it. Yeah, stolen from Miss D-List Kathy Griffin. That's the name of her new comedy special, which is SO funny, by the way. But, back to my new motto. Wanna know what turned me on that motto: Boys. Boys suck. Boys are the dumbest species on the planet. Like a monkey, only I'd prefer monkeys because they dont talk. So yes, my new motto, stolen from Kathy Griffin, has worked so far. I'll keep you posted.

Bush Countdown

Thought some of you'd like to know how long 'till our hell is over...

Heather Martin

This cute little 6 year old girl has been buzzing around YouTube since December and her video tribute to her older brother, Shaun, in Iraq, has gotten over 2 million views. This kid is so cute and a really good singer for a little girl. Here's the vid:

And here's the lyrics:
You were almost sixteen when I came into the world.
Mom and Dad had you first then 3 more boys I'm the baby girl.
I sure have a lot to look up to in you, you're really smart and funny with a big heart too.
After one year of college you knew what you had to do.
It's just like you wanting to help with the war.
So you joined the army when I was only 4.
This time of year we talk of big plans but you're over seas in some distant land.
You can't be here for Christmas, I don't understand.
Chorus:
When are you coming home, Shaun?
When are you coming home?!
We lit up the house like we always do but it doesn't seem bright 'cause we can't have you.
In my prayers I ask God to keep you safe.
And I'm trying to be really brave.
Tell me that the fighting's through.
Come home!
I really miss you.

It's hard to enjoy the holidays without you.
But we're so proud of you and all the red white and blue.
Remember that Jesus is your best friend,
And someday our families will be together again.
Wow! You know we'll have a great big party then.

Chorus

I want to show you how tall I've grown and introduce you to my new friends at school.
Maybe we could go and get some ice cream together but I really don't care what we do.

Chorus

What really happened on 9-11?

Okay, so I know I've seen this episode of South Park about 65 times. I Tivoed it and watched it repeatedly 'till my mom deleted it because the 9/11 song annoyed her after the 31st time I played it. But I always wondered, do 1/4 of Americans think 9/11 was a conspiracy? Are 1/4 of Americans retarded, as according to Kyle. Here's Cartman's explanation to 9/11:

"Remember that there are, in fact, 2 towers. 2-1 is 1. 1,1: 11. 2-1 is 1. 1,1. And there are 9 members on Silverstein's board of directors. That's 9,1,1: 9/11. And take 2-1 + 9/11 and you get 12. Which leads us all to the master mind of the 9/11 attacks…Kyle! Twelve contains the numbers one and two, just like the toilet yesterday where somebody went number two instead of number one! And one and two with 911 and you get 914! Drop the 4 and it's 91! Exactly the score Kyle got on his spelling test twelve days after 9/11! Who has the most to gain from 9/11?! Kyle! Who was nowhere to be found the morning the towers fell?! Kyle! "

Well there you have it. A 9 year old cartoon did it. Hmm. Interesting. I coulda sworn George W. Bush said it was terrorists. But then in the middle of the episode, Bush claimed it was a government conspiracy. Then they said the 9/11 conspiracy was a government conspiracy. W.T.F.?! Who did it? George Bush, Kyle, terrorists?! I went on 911truth.org which is the most confusing website since the FreeRepublic.com. I don't understand these politics sites but I'm guessing these people who run it are the 1/4 or retards who think it was a conspiracy. I tried reading an article titled '40 reasons to not believe the official 9-11 story' or something. I dunno, but it was so confusing. What do you think about 9/11??

The Midnight Walker of Wyckoff?

Every day on the way to and from school, my good friend Sammie and me read her big Weird NJ book. And yesterday I found a legend I hadn't ever read in the two years we have been doing this; the midnight walker of Wyckoff. Now of all the legends in the book, this is one of my favorites. There are many varitations of the story, but I'll summarize the best I can. This guy in his mid 50's or 60's walks along a busy road in Wyckoff every night at midnight. According to the legend, his daughter was killed on that road (some said she was murdered others say it was a hit and run accident, and one said she was with her father and was hit). Also, the Midnight Walker either has no eyes or is blind. Here's one version:

"Tonight I took a picture of something weird that you probably have never heard of. There is a man that walks along a road off route 208 in Wyckoff. There is a story behind him. His daughter was walking home one late night. She wandered aimlessly into the middle of the road for some reason. She was struck by a truck and was killed. Her father found her that night after a life changing phone call, and couldn’t stand the sight of his dead daughter, so he gouged out his own eyes. After that they sewed his eye lids shut. He now walks up and down the road every night, at midnight, hoping to see his daughter once again."

Intresting. I've read each entry a few times and I've concluded this; Dude, I gotta see this guy! I'm totally into this weird NJ stuff because I thought my poor little state was boring as anything, and after reading about the Jersey Devil, the Albino Midget Cannibals of Essex and Split Rock, the Midnight Walker of Wyckoff and the Gates of Hell up in Passaaic, I think NJ rocks!

Freedom of speech is fine...as long as it's not done publically

I've seen 'Shut Up & Sing' roughly 19 times, and at the begginning I always wonder, is Rightwingsparkle happy or mad that they read her blog? I'd be estatic because ever since I could sing, I wanted to sing the Dixie Chicks. And I want to follow in Rightwingsparkle's footsteps and write what I think about the George Bush/Dixie Chicks thing. Ah yes. Remember the little comment Natalie Maines said in 2003? The one that sent the poor band from the top of the world to the bottom of the charts? I do. I was always a dedicated fan. When it happened (I think I was 7 when she said it) my mom said I couldn't listen to them in the house for a while. I was shocked. Why couldn't I listen to my favorite band? It made no sense to me. Who cares if she was ashamed that George Bush was from Texas? If Bush was from my state, I'd be ashamed. I'm ashamed he's from the U.S. to be honest. Actually, not so much ashamed as much as saddened. I mean, he IS in charge of the troops and could start World War 3 or start a nuclear war and , you know, has the IQ of toaster. That saddens me a little. But back to the Dixie Chicks, I think what happened was unfair. I think that Natalie should be able to say whatever she wants to without being protsested, banned or boycotted for it. It's not right and it's a total contradiction of what America stands for; FREEDOM. Freedom of speech, you know? But the media loves confrontation. So the day after Nat said what she did, the London media had to tell EVERYONE. The media loves doing that. As soon as someone well known says something, the media has to twist and make it something huge. A joke meant for a few laughs, escalated to death threats. I, for one, am always gonna stand by the Chicks. They were my first favorite band (after Spice Girls and Hanson, of course...I was 3, leave me alone) and I like them WAY more than I like Bush. I've always thought of Natalie as my hero. When I was little I wanted to sing like her and when I saw Shut Up & Sing, I saw she's a good rolemodel, too. She never backed down. She never gave up on what she believed in when things got kinda hard. I totally think that's awesome. I'm the same way. I'm stubborn and I can admit that ("Angela" , I know if you're reading this you are totally agreeing with that last sentence.) and I wouldn't back down either. Why should she change her beliefs because the Republicans don't like it? But on the Dixie Chicks music, I love it. I have only bought 3 songs from their new CD on iTunes. The one song, 'So Hard', my favorite part is: "Sometimes I don't have the energy/ to prove everbody wrong/ and I try my best to be strong/ but you know, it's so hard." I can relate. I totally can. When I was younger, I used to listen to their songs like 'You Were Mine' and I didn't know what they were talking about. But I'm older and I get what they were saying and how good those songs really are. When I heard "Goodbye Earl" (my favorite song in kindergarten) I didn't even know what a blouse was. But to go back and listen to all those songs now, I realize they are really sad, some of them. I don't know why people are still mad about the Dixie Chicks thing. Why does it matter what they said? Like in the moive, some fat hillbilly looking lady was holding her ugly little two year old and says to the camera "Screw 'em" then says to the son "Right? SAY IT"...dude. Hell hath no fury like a fat hillbilly repubilcan. I dunno, that's what I think.
