I'm So Dawk. I'm So Emo

It's been such a long time since I've posted anything. I was just so occupied by the stories I'm writing and playing video games.. or video game. Yes, I made yet another character in Oblivion. But that's not what I'm going to talk about today... I could talk about Oblivion some other day.

"I'm an emo kid; nonconforming as can be. You'd be nonconforming too if you look just like me. I have paint on my nails and make-up on my face. I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs." -Adam and Andrew: The Emo Kid Song

Emo. Oh my god, emo. This is one topic that just keeps on bringing its self up all the time. For some reason, I feel like my job in this world is to extinguish the emo stereotype in the world. People would probably start saying now, "Geez, man, just leave them emo kids alone. They're not doing anything wrong to you. They're just emo kids being emo kids because that's what they are: emo kids."
Now, I say to you, shut up. The supposedly "emo kids" aren't the main problem, it's the people who take the idea of emo people as a reality.
A lot of you would be very lost and won't even see where I'm going with this. That is because you are too delusional and blinded by the media and idiots. Also because you are one of those idiots.

Here is my point: There is no such thing as an emo person.
There it is. Very straightforward and quick to the point... (actually, not that quick)
Idiot: You're stupid. Of course there is such a thing as an emo person.
Me: Yes, there are people in the world who just love cutting themselves and crying themselves to sleep, and have no friends, and love to engage in homosexual intercourse at the age of 13. (yes, sarcasm)

First of all, let's start with what the emo stereotype really is, then I'll ridicule them one-by-one.
1. Emo kids are depressed all the time.
2. Emo kids cuts themselves because of their pain
3. Emo kids are really different form the whole world
4. Emo kids are very dark and mysterious
5. Emo kids wear skinny jeans and small shirts
6. Emo kids always cry
7. Emo kids are all about heartbreak and emotional situations
8. Emo kids wear make-up and paint their nails black
9. Emo kids listen to My Chemical Romance
10. Emo kids have no feelings
11. Emo kids are deep and poetic
12. Emo kids have no friends

Now, time for the ridiculing:
1. Can you possibly imagine someone being depressed all the time? Hm, yes, maybe someone with manic depression, but they're not called emo. They're called bipolar. But even they can smile once in a while. And if you have no psychological disorders and yet you are always depressed, you either must have a shitty life, or you are doing it on purpose. But I mean, come on, even Quasimodo was a partly happy guy.
2. Yes, self-inflicted pain. This is very common within adolescent children. Why? Because emo is such a fad. Kids would feel down, cut themselves and doesn't even put any effort in hiding it. For some reason, they think the pain would make things better. Pain + pain = happiness. What the Frank?! This isn't multiplying or dividing integers! But self-inflicted pain is a common case, but it isn't for depression, it is to fix numbness. Remember this: cutting yourself won't make yourself cool.
3. Different? You see, here's the thing: everyone is different. Just imagine a world where everyone was the same. That would be really shitty. How would you ever love someone for their personality if that personality was in everyone else? Everyone is different, but everyone keeps trying to be what everyone wants to be. And if "emo kids" were so different, how come they and their friends all like clones? Why would there be an emo stereotype if they were so different? Loophole there.
4. I'm so dark. I'm so emo. How could someone be mysterious? They wouldn't be mysterious if you were close. This "mysterious" description is just a simple-minded alternative to anti-social. Think about it: if you find a person mysterious, do you think that that person's friends find him mysterious too? Of course not. You just don't know that person enough. And as for dark, that's more of a gothic description, really. They could be doing it on purpose or they must just have a poetic mind.
5. Emo fashion. This is acceptable. Emo is a trend, a genre of music, but most certainly not a kind of person. Get this straight. (Not so much of ridiculing there.)
6. It's good to cry. It's good to let feelings out. That's kind of a hypocritical thing for someone like me to say, but this isn't about me. If you cry a lot that doesn't make you emo, (mostly because there is no such thing as an emo person) it makes you open, or sensitive, or comfortable of how you feel... Or a used tampon. (I'm just kidding.)
7. Heartbreak. Usually heartbreak comes from stupidity; from the kind of "love" I mentioned in one of my past posts. If all you talk and think about are heartbreak and your sad emotions, that doesn't make you emo. That makes you either a flaming homosexual, a love-obsessed kid, or an unlucky bastard.
8. Again, emo fashion. It's alright, but this doesn't apply all the time. Let's say someone wears make-up and black nail polish, please do not call them emo. Because that person just may know me, contact me and you would get an hour-long sermon about this same topic.
9. Like I said a little while back, emo is also a genre of music. But trust me, My Chemical Romance is not emo. They are punk. Get your facts straight. If you want to listen to emo music, listen to Death Cab for Cutie, or things like that.
10. Bullshit. Everyone has feelings. (I was too lazy to write more stuff in here.)
11. If you're deep and poetic, that most certainly does not make you emo. That just makes you.. well... deep and poetic.
12. Everyone has friends. A friend doesn't necessarily mean a peer who is not related to you. Your mom could be your friend. Yo mama.

So, I hope this sets you straight. Emo is a kind of fashion and a genre of music. If someone claims they're emo, slap them across the face again and again until the make fades. If someone calls you emo, give them the ultimate punch (Hot Rod reference)

Oh, and just to clear things up with My Chemical Romance. I love MCR and I don't want anyone mistaking me or them as emo.
"I think emo is fucking garbage, it's bullshit. I think there's bands that unfortunately we get lumped in with that are considered emo and by default that starts to make us emo. All I can say is anyone actually listening to the records, put the records next to each other and listen to them and there's actually no similarities. I think emo's a pile of shit." -Gerard Way, MCR vocalist

~~ ~~

That felt good.
Starting now, I would want the idea of an emo person disappear,
if not completely, then at least a little.
And if you want to see something awesome,
go to youtube, and search in "I'm so emo"
and watch the video by Onision.
I'm not promoting him, I'm just saying that this is what
made me want to talk about this topic today.
And by the way, his video is a mock. It's an insult to the people who think they're emo

Love Schmuv

12/8/10

For the past few days, some very amusing things have been happening. But they're the kind of things that people have different opinions on depending on who they are or how the think.
I personally find it amusing, and some people would label me mean and insensitive for doing so. Some people, on the other hand, would laugh together with me.

As the title suggests, this blog post is about love. And if you're a clever thinker, then you could say from the title that it's me ridiculing love, or something like that. It isn't rocket science.

Just before I start, I would like to say that I won't be ridiculing love. Some of you might misunderstand and jump the gun. I'll be ridiculing how people nowadays treat and see love.

~ ~

Love.
Usually the word that comes hand-in-hand with hate.
But why? People say hate is such a strong word, but so is love, and people just say it as if it's nothing.
Love is something that is really hard to find. It's not something that you'll find in every girl or boy that you happen to like. You see, there is such a thing as infatuation, and it's very far from love. Infatuation is the "special" fondness you feel for another person. It's a very common and familiar feeling for everybody, but it's very often that it be mistaken for love.

Love is not something to be rushed. Love is something you should always be sure of. If you like somebody, you don't automatically love that person.
A lot of people, especially among the younger generation, always want to associate themselves with love. They would always want to be connected to the people they fancy. Even if it's just simply affection or infatuation, they would jump to the conclusion that it's love. They would start doing silly and over-the-top things to "express their love". They would start saying things that are supposedly "sweet and romantic". They would start being so lovey-dovey and mushy.

Then one of the two gets sick of the shit or realizes that it was nothing but a misunderstanding.
>>"It was never love. It was just a huge crush. I overacted and I went too fast. Now, how do I get out of this mess?"
>>"Wow, boy was I wrong. I need to get myself out of this, but I don't want to come off as a jerk. Maybe, I could get him/her to break up with me. Time for plan asshole to come into play."
or, if they're both just too delusional:
>>"I don't love him/her anymore. The sparks just went away."

So, then the unluckier (or the dumber) of the two gets broken up with. That unfortunate person would feel really down in the dumps and feel like it's the end of the world. They would start hurting themselves (yeah, that's sure going to help. [yes, sarcasm]), crying, or take it out with a BF (bitch fit. yes, white chicks reference) or a rage.
>>"Oh, my golly gee whiz. What am I to do? The love of my life broke up with me! I want to die! Life isn't worth living anymore. Oh, what's the point?! Oh vey!"
>>"Aw, hell no! Oh, no she/he didn't! That bitch gonna pay."
or the occasional ball-pass:
>>"Oh, my god! I can't believe that bitch/asshole stole my man/girl! That douche is gonna pay!" (This is what I think is the most ridiculous. Would it really be the fault of the person who stole your partner, or your parter who wasn't loyal enough to stay with you? Think about it.)
and if you used plan asshole:
>>"Mission accomplished"
or, if you're like me:
>>"Aw, bogus"

P.S.: About that 'aw bogus' crap, yes, that has happened to me.
But it was a different because it was love and it was my fault it ended.
But this blog is not about me.
That's a whole different topic.

Back to the main topic:

The best medicine for 'heartbreak' is time. If you were on the receiving end of the break-up, then time will let you realize that it wasn't love and that it was all a mistake. You'll also start regretting the silly things you did for your love, but time will make you forget that as well.
And if you were the one who ended it all, time will make you stop feeling bad. Time will erase the awkwardness between you two.

Let's talk about where this even comes from:
For the youth, it comes from media. Seeing or hearing about romance in TV shows, movies or songs would make them want to feel those feelings as well. That's the pathetic thing. Sometimes, it comes from the need to look good. Some kids tend to think that relationships would make them look good. Then in the process, they become so delusional that even their minds aren't set straight and they would be able to fool themselves that it is love. There are more reasons, but it's 10:32pm and I have school tomorrow.

Now, we're at the closing remarks I always have:
This post could be hypocritical.
I used to be like that, but I learned my lesson.
The thing is, be calm and don't rush.
Take things slow and let time shed light on the situation little by little.

If you're affected by this, I don't care.
If you think I'm an insensitive jerk for writing this, I don't care.
If you think I'm so right on with this, I don't care.

These are things I learned from experience. And trust me, when I did learn it, all I could do was drown my thoughts in video games.

That's it for tonight.
To sum up the lesson:
Love is a strong thing. Not everything you feel is love.
Don't be an idiot and quickly jump to conclusions.
And when you do find love, take care of it.
Don't try too hard to come out as sweet and caring and loving
You'll find love when you just be yourself, because love would be when your partner loves who you are, not what you come off as.

The Social Flu

12/4/10

The Social Flu.
What is the social flu? Simple. The social flu is a highly-contagious disease that spreads through social interaction. Once it reaches you, it eats you up inside until you're completely pathetic and moronic. Then when you can't stoop any lower, you'll pass it to someone else and the cycle starts over again.
Symptoms: Idiocy, gullibility, stupidity, shallowness and a shitty life.
Causes: Envy, hate, shallowness, lack of a life, lack of intellect, or hunger for attention.
Common name: Gossip

Fooled you, didn't I?

~~ ~~

People. Social interaction. Crowds. Rumors. Gossips.

These are things I hate.
I hate people. Why? Because you can't control them. You can never know what they're thinking about. You can never control what they do and what they don't do. You have no idea what goes on through their minds. That's the kind of thing that pisses me off. People are always going to do things that you don't like. They're uncontrollable. Not everyone can have wisdom, discipline and consideration. They're always going to upset you.
Why do I hate social interaction? I just hate it. I don't really like conversations going on too long. But there are exceptions, of course. I love talking to the wife and my friends.
Crowds. I'm claustrophobic.
Why do I hate rumors and gossip? Simple. This is why:

~~

Gossiping and spreading rumors. These are things I really hate. I really wished other people could be wise, considerate and disciplined enough to think before they say things.
Why do people spread rumors? Why do people spread gossip?
There are a lot of reasons. Let's try to enumerate some I know of.:
1. A person is jealous of a certain person, so they start bad, insulting and image-wrecking rumors about that person.
2. "Love". Let's say a girl likes a guy, but that guy happens to already have a girlfriend. The girl would get her and her bitch friends to spread lies about that couple. Their motivation would be something like, "But I love him! She doesn't deserve him! I do!" It's very pathetic and shallow. This is kind of just like the first reason. And the reason I chose the girl to be the bitch for the example is because it's more often that girls start rumors, and not the boys.
3. Hate. I have a saying: "Hide it with hate". It means that people would feel something they think is pathetic or despicable and just hide it with hate. Let's say guyA idolizes and desperately wants to be guyB, but doesn't want to show it. GuyB would say that he hates guyA and would start bad gossips about guyA. Also similar to the first reason.
4. People have no lives.
5. People want to get noticed. They just want to at least be able to say something. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, they just want to speak. This is why I hate it when people open their mouths and nothing but stupidity comes out. (Wag magsalita kung tanga)
There are a lot more reasons, but let's just stop there. I feel that I just keep rephrasing the first reason. It could be pretty obvious why. If you don't know why I keep emphasizing the fact that envy is a reason why people spread gossip, then you must be as idiotic as those who spread it.

~~

This is exactly why I don't like attention. There would always be people who would try to know what you're up to. That's what people are like. They keep minding other people's businesses. They're just never contended enough with their own lives, that they'd have to butt in others' lives. That's why I never want to be known. I never want to be liked. I just want to be there, just living my own life without being bothered. I just want to be left alone. But apparently, that's too much to ask. People just don't leave each other alone.
That's the problem with "friendship". If people are "friends", then they would keep trying to butt into each other's business and say that it's fine because they're friends anyways. Then if their "friend" has some beef with somebody, they would "have their back" and help them make bitches of themselves. Bitches = gossip.
And these people who gossip? Why do they find joy in this? What kind of lowlife idiots find joy in spreading lies, or at least things they can not be certain of. How can they be so contented by mere possibilities and lack of facts? Is this what atheists always criticize theists of?
What kind of abominations did God create?

~~

If you want to know what exactly happened to me, I'll tell you the whole story in a short poem:
The cloth in which behind we hide
In my grasp, I'll never let go
Such a casual request that got its answer
From a slutty white hoe

Through the teeth of a land whale
Green mist as she speaks
A mistake, inside and out
Nothing but jealous lies comes out of her mouth

The ritual for our end of the deal
To fill up every space we see
To make more breaths in the air
As we gasp for more under the sheet

What is a white lie?
From those who can't properly see
Try and dump a perfectly nice scene
They hate what they want to be

Every whisper in the air
Close your ears. It's all a lie
So far from the truth
But you won't see the honesty in my eye

~~

That would probably sum it up for today. I'm just glad I was able to get that off my chest.

Let me try something else for a change:
If you're reading this and you're guilty of the things in here,
then STOP doing it. Or at least stop doing it to me.
And if you're one of the people included in this whole situation I'm in right now,
Then fuck you. Leave us alone.
Get a life.
And if you're affected, insulted, or hurt by this,
Good. You deserve it, you lowlifes.

Ossum Blog, Pre! :bdbdbdbd :)))) =)))))

12/1/10

It's been such a long time since I've posted anything. Lately, nothing has come up that ever pissed me off or affected me enough for me to write about it. I don't really like letting anything affect me too much.

But there is something that I want to write about now. It's a topic that would take a huge jerk of a person to talk about. It's a topic that would most probably affect so much and would make them hate me. But so what? Do I care? I don't think so.

But to be honest, I really lack both inspiration and motivation to write right now. I just want to write because I haven't posted anything in a long time and I want to get this small thing off my chest.

Let the obnoxious, arrogant, insensitive and merciless ranting begin:

Guys. There is a thick line between masculinity and femininity, but these days, guys just keep crossing that huge line with such simple acts. The perfect (or probably only) example is how they use the internet. And no, I'm not talking about guys watching gay porn. I'm talking about how a great deal of guys right now seem to be so annoyingly queer in the way they communicate online. Even in texts probably. And some guys even go as far as being the same way in person.

Sigh. I wonder what their fathers think. But their fathers probably don't notice it because, well, they're old. How girls acted then totally differs from how girls act now.

I just want to give a few examples of these unnecessary acts of un-masculinity:

1. "OMG. I'm so lazyyy!"
** I'm fine with the, "OMG". I'm cool with that, but not with the last word. Why, tell me, why does there need to be three y's? That's two more than necessary. Is there a certain reason there are extra y's? Is it supposed to make the word sound longer? If that was supposed to be prolonged, that would make it sound whiny and extremely queer. Was it an accident due to that person holding that certain key for a longer time than needed? If so, then why do people keep doing this is almost every post? Or is that supposed to make it look cooler because it's different from the original word, or because it's slang? I don't see the awesomeness in improper English.

2. "Pare, you're so hawt. :"> :"> :*"
**Oh, my god. Really? Now, I'm not saying that guys can't kiss each other, tell each other they love them, or compliment each other. I respect the people who have the guts to do that. But there are four problems I have with this:
1**. Hawt. There is absolutely no 'hawt' in the English language. Is the misspelling supposed to make the statement cute? Trust me, it's not working.
2**. The fact that the person gives an overly gay compliment while addressing that person as, "pare". If you want to be gay, do it completely. Don't address him as, "pare". That's like adding a supposedly manly word to an absolutely queer statement. It's like adding making cold water to water that you've heated for no reason at all.
3**. The very unnecessary amount of emoticons. This is something that really ticks me off. First of all, why add two blushing emoticons? One for each cheek? That's really retarded and senseless. Is it also in an attempt to look or seem cute? Like I said, it's not working.
4**. The ridiculous choice of emoticons. Will you really kiss and blush for your friend in person? And if you tell me that it's just Facebook or a web messenger anyways, I could punch you in the face for such lame excuses. If you use emoticons such as these, there are only a few explanations. You're gay, you're seeking attention, you're a people-pleaser, or you just really want to piss me off.

3. "Yeah, dude, that was soooo awesome!! :bdbdbdbd :)))))) =)))))"
**Really? Why? Oh, the repetition. First of all, why so many bd's? How many thumbs do you have? 10? And the usage of both the LOL emoticon and the ROFL emoticon. Why use both? Is it for emphasis? If it is, doesn't the very unnecessary number or )'s already take care of that? Is it really that funny? Did your finger get stuck on the ) button? Or is your keyboard busted? Or are you not satisfied by the original amount of symbols following the colon?


And you know, I would find it way better if the guy who were to do these things was actually. It would be understandable. If you're not gay, then why act it?

That would probably sum up today's post. To be honest, I have no idea why this pisses me off so much. I'm not really in any position to care or anything. Maybe it's just because that nothing really gets my attention these days, so this thing will do for now.

But just like what I've said before, don't care. If someone thinks you're gay or an attention-seeker, then tell them to mind their own business. Am I hypocritical? Maybe. Do I care? No. Just do what you want and live your life the way you think you should. No matter how much I may insult you, just remember that you're not the only one in the world who is like that. Nobody is ever one of a kind in the whole world. If you're hurt or insulted, just remember that so is somebody else. That is how people think, anyways. (But that's something I'll talk about some other time.)

I Bang My Head Back and Forth

Nov. 25, 2010

Music. Music is probably the most important thing in my life. I wouldn't care if I lose my intellect, or my arms, or my legs. As long as I can listen to my music, everything would be alright. But the thing is, the most famous music is usually the worst music. It's called mainstream. Mainstream is the fad or the trend for a certain period of time. Or, according to wikipedia, "Mainstream is, generally, the common current thought of the majority."
Now, the problem with this post is that I might get a little biased. You see, I have probably embedded in my mind the thought that mainstream would always suck. I always like being different from other people because it makes me feel unique. But I know that not everything mainstream is automatically horrible. It's just that horrible trends just keep coming up, one after the other. But my main topic for today is mainstream music, so I won't get off topic.

Mainstream music. If somebody would ask me what mainstream music is, then I would tell them that it's the currently popular music. But the way I see it, mainstream music is music that adapts to the current trend instead of trying to start a new fad.

It's the mainstream right now that really ticks me off. The current trend right now seems to be partying, clubbing, falling in love with random bimbos, and the likes. I'm so sick of all this crap. The worst part is that they all pretty much sound the same and they're almost all RnB. I really wish this RnB trend would die out already. It has gone on for too long. Also, majority of mainstream songs are so simple-minded. I mean, songs never had to be smart, but stupidity just really pisses me off. I mean, since when did an iPod ever have a replay button? The last I checked, an iPod's back button was called previous, or at least loop.

Also, mainstream now is just filled with voice effects. Auto tune is what they call it. It's an effect that automatically tunes your voice no matter how you sing into the mic. So now you know how Kanye West, T-Pain, Lil' Jon, Lil' Wayne and other artists do it. So tell me, why get into these artists? How can you be so sure they're even talented? Heck, how can you even be sure whose voice it is when they're all done by the same special effects. The only way their music would be better than the others is if they have a better machine, probably.
Getting into the music business isn't easy, but these people make it look as if it is. They make it look like all you need to get famous is a good machine and you're all set. What's the point in even having famous artists when they make it look like anybody can get famous. They make it look like you don't even need talent to make money. All you need are machines and a simple-minded audience of seals who would clap at your every word.

Majority of artists who have gone mainstream, like I said, have no real talent. That is why once people get sick of them, they are forever forgotten. Do you still see a thousand girls cheering and crying for the Jonas Brothers in one place? No. Because right now, they're all cheering and crying for Justin Bieber. But to be honest, the Jonas Brothers actually wasn't that bad -- compared to Justin Bieber. But if you talk about artists who went mainstream because they did have talent, they still have their hardcore, loyal and loving fans. Let's take Adam Lambert as an example. He isn't talked about that much anymore in TV and in radio stations, but my mom still talks about him pretty much every dinner time. Paramore is another example. Back in 2005, the charts were kind of topped by hip-hop and RnB, but they still rocked it. Now, they still have a lot of fans -- including me.
But if you look at artists and bands who didn't go mainstream, they all have their loyal supporters. Let's take a look at Slipknot -- one of my favorite bands. They really weren't very famous worldwide before they released their 3rd album. But then they kind of changed their style. They went a little softer and a little nicer. All Hope is Gone came and they started being shown on MTV and played on the radio. I was pretty happy for them at first, but then a lot of people started talking about them. They would call themselves maggots (term for Slipknot fans) without even knowing more than one of their albums. That was something that really pissed me off. But then, they died out and became forgotten. The people who supposedly "loved" them forgot about them and they loyal fans remained.

But there is good mainstream music too. Here is a list of how I think certain mainstream music would be okay.:
1. If they actually have talent.
2. If they are the ones who start a new trend. If they can go against the current trending style and do their own thing and succeed, they deserve credit. It doesn't matter what kind of music they play, as long as they're original. But that doesn't mean I would listen to it even if I didn't find it good. I'm just saying they deserve kudos.
3. If the song actually has a message or at least strikes a good chord. (Not literally.)
4. If they are distinguishable from other artists of their time. (You know what I mean. Don't give me any crappy-ass answers.)

I tried my best to avoid any biases.

Now, let's talk about my title. You guys know that new song, "I Whip My Hair"? Well, of course you do because that's your thing. Anyways, there are two reasons behind this title.
1. I bang my head. I headbang because I love rock and metal music. And as you know, rock and metal aren't really mainstream right now, so that means I don't care about trends and fads. I listen to what I want and rock out to it.
2. I bang my head against walls back and forth? Why? Because wherever I go, everyone is playing the same horrible crap again and again. I'm so sick of it. So, I bang my head on walls again and again just so I could get the crap out of my ears.

That is it for today.
Like I said, I tried my best to avoid any biases.
If anyone was offended by this, then I say to you:
SO WHAT?!

The Evolution of Man Actually Ends with Dead Drunkards

First of all...
I would like to correct my first post. Abortion wasn't really part of anything, but it was about the RH bill here in the Philippines. I don't think it has anything to do with abortion, but it deals on population control and proper sexual education for children, I think. I don't really know much about the RH bill yet. So, if you read this before you read the first one, just be sure to not read the two points as two parts of the same story. Just read them as two different topics. Sorry, my mistake.

Nov. 23, 2010

Teenagers. Today, I witnessed a scene out of a horrible dramatic teen television series. It was a simple example of the kind of thing I ridicule everyday and laugh about to myself. Of course I can't just point it out in public and make fun if it because nobody will get my point since they're all so blinded by their vanity and fantasies.
You see, people like what they see on TV. They love the drama, the promiscuity, the romance and the puberty. They want to act like those couples and teenagers in movies and in television shows. They want to be in relationships and be able to do the things they see. They want to be in relationships and be able to say the things they want to say that they probably got from those movies or TV shows. It's monkey-see-monkey-do. (Not because we're Filipinos) In other words, teenagers today feel like they need to do the things they see other teenagers do. They would want to kiss, be in relationships, protect their relationships as if they're married, get in fights because they're partners are supposedly being seduced by another person, drink beer, smoke and party. I find it all very pathetic, really.
Friend: "Yo man, let's go to a party and get drunk!"
Me: "No"
Friend: "Why not?"
Me: "Because you're a douchebag and we're 13."
And that's really the most pathetic thing. These "teenagers" I'm talking about are mostly just 13 and 14 year-olds. They feel like they have to do these "grown-up" things to be mature and supposedly, cool. Yeah, drinking, smoking and partying would so totally get you cool. Sometimes, they would think them so hardcore and badass when they do these things. Tell me, what's so cool with getting drunk, barfing your intestines out, getting a massive headache, losing your wisdom and being a complete idiot? ..Oh wait a minute, that's so totally amazingly unbelievably cool! (Yes, sarcasm)

Let's take a look at what these cool teenagers usually start saying.. by gender:
Girls:

~"OMG! I love him so much! I'm so in love. OHMAHGAWD I'm so filled with loved. We're so totally going to last forever! This is love right here!"
~"Babe, let's go buy some alcohol -- vodka probably. Then we could get drunk and regret it later, but that's alright. We'll still look cool, anyways."
~"You know, that teacher is such a bitch! She scolded me a while ago for fixing my hair in front of her. What's her problem? I'm so pissed! I hater her so much! (OMG, I can't believe I got scolded. I'm soooo cool. Rebellion ftw!)"
~"Did you do your homework?"
"Nope. (Aw yeaaaah)"
~You're so childish! Ew, ohmahgash. That's not what I watch! I watch Gossip Girl, and Skins, and other mature and cool shows like that."
~"Aww! We have to watch that new cartoon movie! I'm so cool now that I can say that I watch cartoon movies even though I don't like them. I'm so falsely childish, and that makes me so cool."
~"Stay away from my man! That's my boyfriend! You don't really flirt with him or anything, but that still makes you a flirt because he's my boyfriend and you've never done anything to him!"
~"I love this thing so much! When did I start loving it? Well, when I found out that so many people loved it, I did so too. Mainstream ftw!"
~"We teenagers have such hard lives."
~Etc..

Boys:

~"Dude, let's go barhopping, bro!"
~"We so totally made out! It was epic! This makes me so cool. Don't tell anybody, though. (Please tell everybody. This has to spread. THIS MAKES ME COOL!)"
~"Take a look at my abs, bro! Check out my sweet guns!"
~"My dick is 5 inches long! Tell the whole world! This makes me so awesome!"
~"Let's smoke, coz it's cool."
~"Check out those sweet ass and tits! [pretends to grab some butt]"
~"Let's go to a club and party!"
~"Oh man, I look so good with these jeans tucked into my high-cut shoes and this polo shirt and my spiky hair. I am perfection!"
~"Did you do your homework?"
"Nope. (Aw yeaaaah)"
~"That teacher just scolded me! I'm in so much trouble! (rebel kid ftw!)"
~"Did you study?"
"Nah (Aw yeaaaah)"
~"Let's go pick up some chicks."
~"That girl is super hot! I would really do her! Huh? She's 12, why?"
~"I'm going out with my girlfriend and her friends and my friends. This is so totally a date. Aw yeaaaah."
~"Pokemon?! Naruto?! Wrestling?! Comic books?! That shit is weak, man. You guys are so childish!"
~"Uy, solid, tol!!" {haha. ew.}
~Etc..

I hear these words a lot, really. Sometimes, I even say them out loud jokingly, but people probably don't realize that it's to mock them. I'm not saying that I'm better than these people, but I'm just saying that these are the things I notice around me. I really don't pay attention to myself, so I don't know whether or not I actually do these things. Sometimes our mind state is unconscious and uncontrollable and we do these things without even thinking it would make us cool. Sometimes, we just feel the need to because of puberty, I guess.

So, you're all probably wondering what I witnessed today that made me talk about the vanity of youth. If you read the blog very closely, you'll find out. These feelings about "growing up" have been bottled up inside probably since I was in the 5th grade. There was just never really anybody I could actually tell this to without insulting them unintentionally.

Some of you would probably be offended and say, "Why? What about you? Aren't you guilty of these things?"
Well, I say to you, maybe some. Or one, actually. It's quite embarrassing that I admit myself that the one I'm guilty of is listed in the girls' section. Yes, it's the love things. But so what? I love my A and I don't care what anyone says or thinks about it.

To anyone who is offended by this, remember one thing:
It's not your fault. And you don't have to care what other people think
about you. Just do what you want and if someone tells you to
stop doing it, tell that person to fuck off.

Falling Fetus

11/24/10 NOTE: There is a huge mistake on this post. The Rosary Crusade wasn't actually for preventing the abortion law. It was for preventing the passing on of the RH bill here in the Philippines. Please, just don't read the blog as if abortion and the rosary crusade are in on story. Read them as two individual points. Also, don't complain about the mistakes and don't make such a big deal about it. Just ignore it.

Nov. 23, 2010

Today, our last period was taken over by our adviser because our Computer teacher was somewhere else. Oh joy. Anyways, she gave us some reminders for us to copy in our diaries. She told us about this "Rosary Crusade". In this "Rosary Crusade" we were to accomplish praying a million (no sarcasm) rosaries for the law of life and family. My teacher said that if we prayed enough, then maybe mother Mary would prevent the legalization of abortion here in our country.
I literally laughed out loud when I heard this. Other people even laughed at how I broke the room's silence with a laugh.

Now, I have two points to discuss today. But before I do, I would like everyone reading this to know that some of these statements are just my opinions and I am entitle to my own thinking:

Point 1:
Prayer. This is the problem with most Catholics nowadays. Actually, no, it's not just Catholics, but also the Christians. All they ever do is pray. They think that by praying they are able to make such a big and helpful contribution. Instead of actually making a move or a stand to help a cause, they would just get on their knees, close their eyes and pray. People are either too selfish or scared to help out other people, but with their vanity they would give a prayer and say that they've helped a lot just to look like they actually care. Sometimes, they would dedicate a prayer to a specific cause because they're afraid that God might get mad if they don't help in any way at all.
[Goofy, retarded voices]
"Hey man, have you heard about that earthquake in Haiti?"
"Yeah, I have."
"I've given them some clothes, food and money. What have you done?"
"..I prayed for them."
"Oh man, they're so totally going to get better now!"
"OMG, I know right!"
"You're such an angel, homebro!"
"Damn straight!"
Really? You probably find this funny, but this is reality.. but this won't really be an actual conversation, but this happens. People would pray instead of actually helping out and be labeled as such a caring person.

Now, let's actually talk about this current "Rosary Crusade" issue,
So, we're supposed to pray a kabajillion (yes, sarcasm) rosaries to Mary in hope of preventing the passing on of the abortion law? What's going to happen? Is Mary going to descend down upon the Earth and tell Noynoy to disapprove of the law? Or is Noynoy somehow going to be magically inspired by the spirit and stamp that piece of paper with that huge red reject stamp?
I mean, believe me, I'm a religious guy and all, but this is pathetic. Go sign a petition, or something. Not make people pray a million rosaries!
I admit that prayer does help, but sometimes it would be better to actually go do something about it rather than pray. If you want to help and give the credit to God, then go out there and help people in the name of God. But not like a deranged end-of-the-world bum. Just like Ned Flanders from the Simpsons.

Also, just a little side note for the people who are actually going to do this infinity rosary praying: Do you really think a million prayers are going to help? If you pray something a million times, you would stop meaning it the third time. And do you actually think kids in school are anti-abortion? Kids only think abortion is bad because they are told so.

Which brings me to Point 2:
Abortion. Is it really bad? Is it really taking a life? Is it really a sin? Is it really not going to help the country in any way? Are you sure?
Now, people think that abortion is bad because it is taking a life and it says in the bible that it is against the commandments to take a life. But can you really call an unborn fetus a piece of life already? In my opinion, stray dogs have more right to live than fetuses.. or fetii. And besides, the bible also says that you can stone your wives, sons and sell your daughters into slavery. But isn't that unacceptable now? But why? The bible says you can!
To be honest, those were taken from the Old Testament and those were some crazy times.. probably.
But what I'm saying is that, why bring unwanted children into an overly populated country and not be able to support them? Might as well just prevent it from ever even feeling hunger and pain before death. Besides, can a fetus even feel death? Would they even have any idea they would've lived? They would thank the abortion doctor someday or another not letting them into this painful and cruel world.

Stubborn people would say that instead of having abortion, just stop having sex. That kind of thinking really ticks me off. Do you really think that's possible? Can you check up on every household in the entire country and make sure they keep their pants on?
Then some stubborn careless people would say that people should just use protection when they do it. Well, maybe it failed. Or, maybe they didn't have one that time. Tell me, can you go around the whole country and supply every uncontrollably couple with a condom? ..Oh wait, I think they've tried that.

Let's take a look at the replies of people who are against abortion -- and mine to theirs:
1. Use protection!
Really? Do you think that putting on a condom once your partner is already a huge-bellied whale would help? People get abortions after they do it, Einstein. And if you tell me, "Well, I was talking about before doing it!" Then don't you think that if they didn't want a kid, then they would use protection? Would they get pregnant if they did? ..possibly. At least they tried!
2. Don't have sex when you know you can't support a kid!
If they know that they couldn't support a kid, then they would use protection. Duh.
3. Don't have sex. Period!
Lol. Really?
4. Keep the kid.
And let it experience hunger, pain and hardships because you weren't ready for the kid or you couldn't support it? Then you would just be adding to the heavy load of unwanted kids and street people we need to help out. Smart.
5. A fetus can't decide for its self yet, so let it grow and see if the kid really does get a hard time living.
Then what if it does? Oh well? Or do you kill it then? That would be murder.
6. Banish it to the other world before it lives.
That is abortion.

Now, that probably wraps up today's entry. I don't do this everyday. Just when I have something to write about. After reading this, I hope you see a little of how I look at things. Also, a lot of these statements are just my opinions. If you don't agree, don't get mad over it, but do tell me what you think.

You don't like what you see? SO WHAT?!
