This one's going to be a long one...

ah, there are so many differnt titles I could have given this blog such as: Empty promises; Sluttiness rules the school; dissapointing out come; I hate glencoe's student body; Our school is full of morons; You really can't make a differnce; The world is skrewed up and backwards..... and the list just goes on and on. I'm going to warn you now, if you haven't already figured it out, this is going to be a rant. Just so you know...
.Our fore-fatheres thought that the masses should not be able to vote, because the masses were stupid, and uneducated people who weren't capable of making sound decisions. Well I'm going to have to agree with them. This has only been supported by the outcome of today's elections. Little do the masses know how much certain individuals on student council do, and little do they know how much nothing certain individuals do on student council. So today we had our speeches, and all were decent, there was not one bad speech.... well I take that back, there was one, but for the most part they were all quite good. While some had quite a bit of creativity most were good, but dull. Nothing that hadn't been said before, or that was special. Katy is one of the hardest working people in student council, and gave a great speech, full of sweet dance moves, and great impressions. Now would it not make sense that the hard working one with the good speech shoudl win? no it woudl not, because of the simple fact that we go to a high school full of dumb asses. I am still amazed at our fourth place winner. He got up and began his speech by stating how he was tired of seeing the same people run every year, hmmmm... interesting: 5 out of the 9 people were new candidates, and the other 4 were all first year members. Then he goes on to tell the Jr. class that he's tired of not being able to drink pop at lunch and that if he is ellected he will get them to turn on the pop machines. Well that was a district decison, and he has no athority what so ever to be able to do that. I don't know why these people who haven't been on student council make all these wild promises, like I'll make your lunch longer, and I'll have your teachers give you less homework, adn school will be more fun! It's rediculous that they make these empty promises. But what is more amazingis how the student body believes these lies.
For the most part I was disappointed with the rest of the election as well. Deserving people got cut, while other much less qualified and deserving people stayed on. LAME! Good luck to us next year trying to decorate or have a deco day, because all of our artsy people got cut.
Glencoe will suck next year. Seriously there will be nothing that we are good at. Look at our varsity sports. Most of them have a 97% senior team. Baseball, all but like 4 of the guys are seniors. Our track team all our good runners, with the exception of Ashley are seniors or sophomores. And I don’t know if we even have one Jr. guy who actually runs for our track. Foot ball, we have like 5 guys who play, but none of them are superstars. Even dance team, what Glencoe has been known for is totally up in the air. We don’t even have a coach. It’s insane. The one thing we have a chance of actually doing decent in is girl’s basket ball.
I’m also so tired of well off kids bitching and moaning abut how hard their lives are. I’ll admit it, I have a really great cushy life. I am so lucky. I have been given the world, and yet I still find ways to complain. I don’t even see how it’s possible. I should have no worries in the world. And truthfully I don’t have any serious ones. And I am very thankful for that. But I look around and the people around me have pretty good lives. And yet all I hear about is how hard their lives are. I sit back and see, a good family, which provides you with food and shelter. You’re not being abused. A loving family, a nice house, a good neighborhood, and an affluent life style. Then all I hear about is how hard life is, and how crappy it is. I don’t understand that. Yes I can understand the kids who’ve lived in shitty foster care their whole lives. Or the kids who have meth addicted parents who have neglected them. Or the kids who have parents who have to take on 2 and 3 jobs just to make ends meat. Or the kids who are being beaten and abused. Or the kids who live on the streets because their parents are too drugged up, and kick them out. Or the kids who can’t play in their yard because it’s too dangerous. Those kids I really think have something to complain about. But these kids who think their life is bad because they are made to get jobs and have responsibilities, I don’t think they have anything to complain about. It’s very easy for me to sit here and ridicule others when I don’t have a job, but I just can’t stand these people who think that their parents giving them responsibility means their life has now become just so full of stress that they cannot handle it. And they resort to drugs, or talk of moving out. It makes no sense. Why not see what you have and be thankful? You know what? If you want to live your life in misery be my guest! I don’t care, just don’t bring me down with you!

Hypocrisy

This word is so often thrown around, and pointed at people, when in reality most if not all of us are guilty of it. So in essence the word embodies its meaning, and turns on the user everytime. It's quite frustraiting, because the things that make me the most belligerent are the faults I see in myself. It's like I can't stand the fact that I know I have faults and weaknesses, so subconciously I try and fix it in other people. I think that's part of the reason my sister and I get along so poorly, I see so many things in her that I don't like about me, that at times it's just too much to take. It's like looking in a mirror and seeing everythign bad about yourself. And I feel this way when ever I see people who have the same faults as me. My amazement never ends at the level of hypocrisy we live with everyday. I hear so much all the time about what people can't stand in their friends and others, and I see the exact same things in them. And they don't even know that they are guilty of the same crime they just acused their neighbor of comitting. The strangest part of all of this is that the people I see myself in, most of the time I can' t stand them, but... when everything goes well, there is no one in the world I would rather be around. Go figure!

And so our Journey comes to an end (day 28)

I will no longer be numerically counting down the days in my blogs because I will not have a reason to. For today is the last day of my imprisonment. After today I am a free person, free do to what ever I want (as long as my parents say it's okay). But now the question becomes what do I spend my first day of freedom doing? so many choices, only one first day of freedome. The sad part is that I will probablly spend this day much as I spent most of my grounding, go to school, come home, sleep and eat a little, go to dance, do my homework. Well after the AP tests I will have more fun.
