Junior year, the most infamous in the American education system, is in full swing. My first year at Kempner High School is going alright.
The only thing I'd change about the school is pretty much everything. This school compared to my old school is like a prison. Can't go to the bathroom first ten and last ten minutes of school, doors to the classroom are locked if you're late, no free periods, if you're caught walking the halls without a pass you get written up, if you get seen with a cell phone you get your phone confiscated, can't call your parents even in case of an emergency (you have to go to the clinic to make a phone call), and so on and so forth.
I understand that the reason that school is so strict is because the majority of the students don't seem to give the slightest fuck about the school. There are those types of students I would broadly assume are at most schools but the amount of them at this school is mind-boggling. The problem with having so many rules is that they don't have any measures aiding students who actually appreciate the learning process. It's frustrating but there's nothing I can do about it so fuck it.
The classes are alright, most of them are getting better by the day so no point in ranting about any of them without without knowing what's going to become of things.
I used a program called i-Doser today after I got home from school. Don't know what it is? Click the link and find out i'll be doing a review on my experience with it sometime.

The past few days
The past few days I've been pretty inactive. Haven't really been doing much other than playing video games and reading. Just started The Testament by John Grisham. I'm liking it a lot so far I'll let you know how it is after I'm done with it.
I've been thinking about new posts to make... I have a few ideas that I actually had in a dream hahah maybe I'll make something of them.
Ahh not feeling in the mood to blog right now. Haven't been in the mood to do much lately. Will write more about it later.
Peace

Feeling shitty
That's how I feel right now :'(
Last night was playing Call of Duty with some friends having a good time, then my throat started feeling sore and my nose started getting stuffy. Had some medicine in hopes that I'd be fine to go to school (I'm one of those kids that hates missing school because I hate having to make up work)
I slept very poorly through the night and when my alarm woke me up I knew there was no way I'd be able to go to school. Head was hurting, I was sweating like crazy, my throat was killing me, coughing sporadically, nose was stuffy, and my eyes were watery as hell.
So I told my mom I wouldn't be going to school, I went back to sleep and woke up in four or five hours still feeling like shit. Made myself a quick breakfast and made a cup of hot tea. Then had some more medicine, went to sleep again, and woke up in like 2 hours STILL feeling like shit. And now here I am feeling shitty listening to music and not having a good time.
How has your day been?

Here we go again...
Alright ladies and gents, here we go again with the most entertaining YouTube videos I've found recently.
Up next we have GoodNeighborStuff...these guys are absolute legends. This channel is the channel of one of their members. Their stuff is epic sooooo funny so go check them out.
Another SimplePickup video! Hahah I posted one of their videos in an earlier post but this is a new one. They never fail to amuse me as they get up close and personal trying to pick up random girls.
Last but not least, here is a video a friend of mine made. It's his second video ever and it's him freestyling. Admittedly he doesn't have the best microphone or anything but he's just getting started and has some sick rhymes/flow. Please check out his video, leave a like or something on there and show him some support :-) Cheers
So that's it for right now. If I find any more worthwhile videos I'll post them here. Stay tuned!
Let's start it off with another Parkour/Freerunning video... easily one of the best I've ever seen in my life, and trust me I've seen plenty. I've been meaning to get back into Parkour but I've just been so lazy recently. I also need to get new Parkour shoes as my mom threw out my old ones. Been trying to make some money in order to do so.

Recap of the Day and Q&A
SO! Today was the beginning of a glorious new school year....... *sarcasm*
It really wasn't anything special. In the morning I had to go through this completely pointless and unnecessarily complicated process of getting my shot record updated which was a pain in the ass I had to sit in the auditorium for about an hour just waiting for this lady who seemed like a prison warden to tell me what to do.
This new school is about twice the size of my old one. My old school being one of the best in the the state of New York, and this one being twice the size of that one. I feel like life would be a lot easier with a car...but of course there's all the trouble with insurance and all that so it sucks.
Whatever though I'm done talking about that. If there's anything you want to know ask me in the comments as usual :-D
Q&A
Glassroof asked...
"If you had to choose, would you be good looking but poor, or rich but ugly? Both have their pros and cons so... you choose."
I think I would be rich but ugly. I think it depends on how poor I would be. If I was like destitute without a place to live then I would definitely pick rich but ugly because I would have a better life that way. However if I was able to get by and live my life comfortably then I would choose good looking but poor. :)
Talerfuchs asked...
"Would you rather be deaf or blind?"
Hmm.... I think I'd rather be deaf. I think life would be easier for a deaf person because they could learn to read lips and whatnot but for a blind person it's not like you could learn to use echolocation or something...or could you... *click here*
Pieter asked...
"How long does it take for the sun to rise?"
2 minutes. And yes, I did Google it.
Pieter MD asked...
"What do you hate most about school?"
To be honest, I love learning, I like the social aspect of school, the only two things I hate is the work that you have to do for school outside of school, and the fact that you have to wake up so early. If those two things were gotten rid of I'd absolutely love it. :-D
aLH3x asked...
"Kebab or Sushi?"
Kebab definitely 100%. I have never had any real Sushi I've always been kinda scared about the idea of raw fish... It just doesn't seem like my type of food. Maybe one day though hopefully I'll get the chance to have some really good Sushi.
Aaromn Stink Sell asked...
"Would you rather poop or piss your pants?"
Hahahah good question. Definitely pee. I feel like it wouldn't be as disgusting and it would be warm...and stuff... the poop would be absolutely disgusting.
Dragmire asked...
"What is your favorite movie of all time?"
I really couldn't say. I have seen lots and lots of good movies. Fight Club, The Illusionist, the Bourne movies, and lots of others. I really don't have one absolute favorite.
Michael Westside asked...
"What inspired you to make a Q&A post?"
I think I saw something similar on someone else's blog while I was surfing the net one day. So I thought it would be a good idea to try something like it. :-)
ThingsYouWant asked...
"Would you rather live forever or live to 50?"
I think I would live forever...I feel like placing an expiration date like living to 50 on my life would put too much pressure on me to do something with my life so I wouldn't enjoy it that much. So immortality would seem the way to go I think.
The Rev. Archimedes asked...
"Batman Begins or.. Dark Knight?"
I don't know... I think I would say the Dark Knight because it was the most recent one I saw.
Yes, this is in fact how I dress on the first day of school. I'm just darker skinned. :-)

Let's Play a Game
Hello everyone
3:53 a.m. here, still not asleep. I really think that I've somehow reversed my sleep cycle and am completely nocturnal now. Doesn't help me considering school starts in 5 days.
Anyways, let's play a little game shall we. I propose whoever reads this takes time out of their day to ask me a question in the comments. It can be about anything at all. It can be a personal question about myself, it can be my opinion about something, it can be in the form of "would you rather", or anything along those lines. After I get a bunch of questions I'll make a new post and answer as many of them as I can.
I feel like it can be an interesting way to interact with you all and I look forward to it.
