I am very content with my current places I am right now. I almost feel no need to advance in my situation. I must admit, it is always thrilling to add new excitement to my life, but I am perfectly content where I am. I would even consider my neutrality to advancement a state of bliss. Of course I rightfully agree to the terms I may be called: lazy, boring, or even a creature of habit. I see no wrong with these titles I have obtained from doing nothing. It is when I am able to use this super power of dullness for good that I proudly wear the L for laziness on my spandex superhero costume.

How am I able to do this? Useing my identity as a spoiled silver spooner in a different approach. I sat down with my parents and talked about what Santa was going to bring me this year. I asked for nothing. Thats right, the nightmare of a 7 year old. I said I wanted nothing this year, and for what 'santa funds' that would be spent on me to be spent on kids to do not have the opportunity as me. I think finally my spoiledness is trying to even itself out.

I think what i am trying to do is spread my 'neutrality' as a form of 'christmas joy'. I understand that not everyone has the extremely hard choice of playing my personal laptop or xbox 360, so I understand I do not need more then that, ever. I am perfectly fine where I am right now. I do not get bored ever, and I am often excited by what I currently own, so I do not see what more I could possibly have, as it would be purely superfluous.

I wish everyone could be as content as I am in my leisure time. I keep saying I understand this and understand that, but what I want to know is, how can I change the things that I understand that I do not like? Call me miss congeniality, but I want world peace. Maybe by just giving one xbox 360 at a time.

Why would we need to excel past an absolute threshold when the highest we can achieve in this subject is at that same threshold? In non psychology terms, I am speaking about our own personal energy use.

In a response to Mikey's blog post, all I need to say is why would we even want to do more if we are not required to? If someone is going to do my own work, I will gladly allow them to do it without any regrets whatsoever. Call me lazy, but call me conservative. I see no reason to waste this superfluous energy.

I did have a job, but I did not enter it with a normal attitude. I did not acquire this job for financial reasons, I only applied there because I was bored. I needed something to occupy my time. Even when I spoke to my coworkers and told them I worked here only for fun, they gawked at me with their jaw open. But luckily for me, I did have a fun job. When I was working in the kitchen of the fast food restaurant, If I was enough of a sleuth, I was able to munch down on grilled cheeses, cheeseburgers, and chili cheese fries. Of course I was not being paid to eat, If and when we had customers, I always got their food out just as fast as it would have if I was not eating. Like I previously stated, I see no reason to give more energy then what is the lowest amount needed to fire a stimulus.

So is it being lazy? No, only being efficient. If I work harder and sweep the floors more throughly, clean the toilets so they shine bright white, and make sure all those french fries are golden crisp (and not have fallen on the floor) who notices? Most likely, no one even notices. At 6 monthes working there, I did get a raise though. I guess all of us see this as the 'benefit for working hard' But so did half the other employees. But again, this did not even matter to me. I was not working for pay, but for fun so I could talk to my friends that also worked there.
So I see no reason to need to be in a hardworking environment. Good morals are self taught, and self opinionated. When a quota is put, why should I be expected to pass it? I am going to meet it, but with a photo finish.

Cell phones are a form of communication. And unknowingly to some people, it is rude to communicate when someone else is trying to communicate to you. I almost get pissed off when I see someone in class blatantly texting their hearts out. I see it as such a form of disrespect. The teacher is giving their own personal time and devoted their life to, in a radical way, the listener. So why can't the student focus for 55 minutes without this one distraction? I do not understand.

In 1984 (I think it was this book... to be honest I never finished it) they had a concept of humans language becoming quicker and faster to use. The words were slurred together so that the laziness was able to overcome and they were not required to use any energy to convey their forms of communication. It saddens me to see that this insane prediction has become true, just in another form. Texting. No longer are we needed to converge ourselves in entire conversations that we are able to explore each other as we share our feelings and thoughts. Now we are able to suffice with a simple "k" or "c u later". It is a destruction of our language as we know it.

So I admit, texting might not ruin society... soon! but as I look at it right now, people are miss useing it in innapropiate places. At a party I was at, a girl took out her phone and started texting when my friend came up to her. My other bud said "ouch you got the phone taken out on you." Cellphones are merely a form of disrespect. I approve of texting in entire sentences and in solitude. If you are trying to speak to someone verbally, and they attempt to text someone else, it can obviously mean that they are not interested in what you are trying to speak to them about. I know how these teachers feel.

So yeah, I do feel that texting can be appropiate, but only in the correct place, time, and diction in order to avoid the downfall of a language. Maybe this is a rediculous claim, but there is no way to what could be appropiate in a possible future etopia. Maybe responding to a teacher with 3 letters could be the correct way to do it some day.

There should not be a drinking age.

The current drinking age in the united states is 21. Everyone knows that, it is a huge year for most. Finally, the age I am legally aloud to get hammered at a bar... right? While many feel this is the age that we are able to make mature choices, and that is when excessive alcohol consumption will not effect our bodies as much as our frontal lobes finally mature, I still feel that the alcohol age should be lowered or even abolished completely.


Picture from Prime Events and Rentals

If this just instantly happened, mass chaos would occur. 14 year old kids all over the country would go and buy a 24 pack of beer and go crazy in celebration. If anything like this would actually happen, it would need to be a slow drawn out process. Maybe the first step being lowered consequences for underage drinking, but a higher consequence for the higher Blood Alcohol Levels for underages. The next step could be lowering it to 18, then possibly 16, and then completely getting rid of it. Now I am sure you are asking, why would we even want to do this? I feel that with this current restriction on alcohol to minors, they feel the need to rebel and binge drink their livers out. Underage Binge Drinking is really an extreme problem. They do not know their limits, and purposely attempt to pass them. Sometimes to the extreme. I feel that if the kids were not given a restriction to begin with, it would avoid their need to rebel against this line. But like I said, it could not even come close to happening correctly if we just opened all their ties to beer instantly.

I think that the kids would learn responsibility without a drinking age. They have time to understand how to self help themselves, rather than listen to a judge tell them what to do and stuff. Parents should also step in on this, teaching that it is not wrong to do, but just wrong without consideration and responsibility. It is true that binge drinking can stunt the frontal lobe development before the age of 25, but what makes my plan plausable is that it is only binge drinking and drinking in excessive amounts. That is why I feel that if these kids did have responsibility, they would avoid binge drinking. This is a problem that leads to many worse things. The worse being even death.

That is why I feel there needs to be a change on this current law. Many problems come up from it, and kids directly disobey it. That is why over a long process of time I think it should be abolished, with little tiny baby steps along the way towards this goal of a better horizon.

So I volunteered at Usher's Ferry's Safe Halloween and I got put in the 'Scary Story House' (that was haunted by boxelder bugs and lady bugs... seriously they were everywhere). Luckily I got to make up a scary story and scare little kids all day. It was fun. Heres the story i told;;;

So about 40 or 50 years ago, all these houses used to have families living in them. And on one halloween night, all the kids were out trick or treating. When they came up to this house and looked up at it, all the lights were off. But these kids wanted candy. So they went up and knocked on the door. knock knock knock.... and no one came to the door. These kids were brace though, and the bravest of the group decided that they wanted candy so he opened the door with a screeeeeeee. it was a screechy door. (i try to teach kids to enter random houses when trick or treating)

As they walked in the house, it was empty. No one was home. So they were standing right about where you guys were.. and they started hearing footsteps up and down the stairs right here. (here is when the girls i was volunteering with in the other room started making noises like footsteps.. they had the easy job). The trick or treaters decided to check out what that noise was, because someone might be upstairs. So as they started to go upstairs, at the top of the stairs was a door. Under the door in the crack they could see a light was on. But on the other side they heard voices. (again the girls made ghostly voice noises). The kids thought someone must be up there so they opened the door. But again, the room was empty.

At this point, the trick or treaters were freaking out so they left the attic. As they returned to the living room where they heard the steps, a man was standing there turned around with a broom. He slowly turned around and looked straight at the trick or treaters and said....
























BOO!!

That was the end of the story. I scared so many people it was halorious. I almost felt bad because pretty much all the kids there were like 6 or so years old. The funniest part was the person that jumped the most out of all the people that I yelled that too, was a mom.

It was fun scaring the little kids, I can't wait until I get to mess with my own kids.

Being social is easy. I like doing it also. Just recently I started talking to anyone who is around me. Because recently I was at a concert, and the older brother of my friend was randomly talking to the people behind us, and it was cool seeing how some random people who have never met each other interact when one is super friendly. So I took this initiative and starting being randomly nice and social to random people whenever I have the chance.

Like just last friday, while I was waiting in line at lunch to get those mediocre school burritos, I overheard the two girls behind me wondering if they should get this burrito or king chicken. I butted in and told them deffinetly the burrito, specifying it was no panchero's, but still pretty good. Later they saw me and thanked me for helping them make the right food choice decision. I felt really good, not that they choose the burrito, but that I influenced a random person merely because I was social to them.

I feel bad for people with these so called 'social disorders'. People that are just shy I guess. I think they are missing out on important things, and are relying on others to give that to them. They are missing out on social connections. Maybe it is a lack of serotinin or dopamine, I don't know, but what there really is a lack of are those social connections. I wish that everyone could be as social as me.

Sometimes when I try to talk to random people about something, I get weird looks. They think it is awkward that this random dude is talking to them. Nothing makes me more angry than these people. They treat me like crap only because I am being friendly. If they had their way at this time, there would only be like 3 people in the entire world, so no random people could come up and talk to them. For someone like me, that is the opposite of what I could ever want.

Sometimes I almost prefer being around people I have never met before. People that know you have all kinds of false pretenses and already have a set of impressions they put towards you. Maybe that is why I had such a great time at this random xavior halloween party I went to. (or maybe it was because there was like 5 dudes and 25 girls) but I was talking to almost everyone and it was really easy for me to go up these people and just start talking. I even talked to a german foreign exchange student and pretended like I understood what she said!

Maybe the reason I like talking to random people like this is because I like making good first impressions for myself. I am not sure, but either way, I just like being open.

One of my favorite shows growing up was Even Stevens. Like the only episode I remember was when ther older 8th graders had an annual day that they would pick on the 7th graders and put them in trash cans and stuff. louis, the main character was a 7th grader and organized all the fellow 7th graders to stick up to the bullies. He was being very inspirational and he led them against the 8th graders. He had a lot of courage with his posse with him. When he stood up to them he said that they were not gonna put up with them this year, the 7th graders cheered for him as he was their leader. But then the 8th grader antagonist of the episode told him that they wern't gonna pick on all the 7th graders, just one. Him. Louis laughed because his he knew his horde of 7th graders wouldn't stand for it, but when he turned around, they were all gone. This made me so angry, it did not have the comical effect on me. It makes me think that the world is selfish.

I also think of a line in one of the songs by one of my favorite artists, bob marley. He says that "is it a sin for a man to condemn all mankind to save his family"? I don't think that people are able to use their abstract reasoning to see the views of others and walk in their shoes. People tend to save their owns kin when given the possible risk of it being damaged. I do not feel anything is more cowardice.

I feel that the 7th graders could have taken on the 8th graders, not in physical combat, but something funnier like negotiating. It would have made me happier at the end of the episode if they were able to all work together to avoid having even one 7th grader put in a trash can.

When these kids decided to choose louis as their leader, they should have followed him till the end. General Patton in ww2 told his troops that individuality is crap. And no man is left behind, and other motivational stuff that in general said that when all these people were going towards their cause, they are one big wave of movement, and this unstoppable force doesn't leave anything behind. The only 7th grader who should have earned the purple badge of honor was louis in this episode.
