Superstitions

I myself think superstitions are just a bunch of bologna, they are a way for people to explain when times are just going bad and you aren't having very much luck, but strangely enough, I don't believe in luck either. If breaking a mirror got you sever years of bad luck, then I'm sure more than half of the world would be screwed. And also the one about a black cat crossing your path, does this mean people that have black cats all have bad luck? I don't see any decline in people buying cats just because they would be black. So to sum it up, I don't believe in superstitions at all and I never will.

2009

This past year has been a big year, the number of events that happened is almost limitless. Some of this include, the death of Micheal Jackson, among numerous other celebrities, an African American becoming president and the outbreak of swine flu. This year as included the beginning of the end of my high school career. I'm hoping that 2010 will be a great year and have as many world changing events as 2009 did, but hopefully the won't all be too terrible.

December

December is probably the worst month of the year, even though Christmas falls into this month, the weather is terrible. It's so cold outside right now and very windy, no one wants to go outside. I don't even have a jacket to wear, my other one got a hole in it, and I keep forgetting to order a new one. There isn't any snow to make this remotely fun at all. Everyone is getting a cold or flu or some other sickness because of this, and it sure does make my head hurt.Finals also fall into this month, even if im getting out of four finals, five if they would allow me, its still a dreaded time studying so much that you don't screw your grade up the slightest bit. And to top it off, I have to take the ACT this weekend and it's making me quite nervous, but I'm sure I will do fine this weekend. Only 9 days into the month and I'm already wishing it was over, I don't want to even think how bad January will be, hopefully we will get another ice storm and we wont have to go to school for awhile, that was I never have to leave the warmth of my home.

Santa isn't real

The moment I found out Santa Claus wasn't real was a sad time in my childhood, and after that, my Christmases filled with lots of presents soon came to a close. It happened in December, a few days before Christmas I was looking around in my garage when i found something under a tarp. Under it just happened to be a basketball goal that i was sure was for me for Chirstmas. As Christmas Eve came, this was when i opened presents from my mom, there wasn't a basketball goal in sight, so i just forgot about it. But, the next morning, there was a large boxed, marked as being from Santa, inside was the Basketball goal. I was mad that my mother would lie to me but i tried to deny the fact and thought i could be wrong, over time i accepted that my Christmas was ruied.

November

This month so far has been pretty unproductive and I have so many things to do at once, including my 3 projects at school and studying for the ACT test. Just today I took my permit test for the first time, after already being 17 for 4 months since I didn't think it was all that necessary yet, and failed the first half of the test, which was pretty disappointing, and the next time ill be able to get to take the test wont be for another two weeks. Hopefully next week will be better with Thanksgiving coming around and ill be able to relax for a few days.

November 4th

"Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgiving." I believe this means that you should give to people without expecting to get anything back, but when you take something from someone, you should repay them back. This seems to go with the idea of a lot of Christmas saying and ideas, saying to give to others and not expect anything in return.

Halloween

I'm sad to say that this year's Halloween was quite boring for me. I didn't trick-or-treat or handout candy, or even watch a scary movie, instead I hungout with my girlfriend and we didn't do much at all. After sitting at my house for a few hours waiting for my mom to get home with my niece, we got bored and went to Wal-mart, which was equally boring, but at least I got out of the house. Then we decided to go to her brother's house, who had told her that we would be watching movies and ordering a pizza. After we got there, we noticed he had all of his girlfriend's sisters over and their boyfriends too, even her parents came over. They made shrimp and her brother put in some ridiculous cartoon. So after 2 hours of watching them play with a baby, we went back to her house for awhile then I went home. Lets just say that this Halloween sucked.
