Crazy little Neighbor

Well after reading Us and Them realized there are some freaky people in this world... why? because simply put the story is about a little kid who spies on his eccentric neighbors ,yet apparently what the kid does is completely normal, everyday like a t.v. show. Now you can just put that off as childish antics but come on when I was in third grade I couldn't be outside after dark little less spy on my neighbors just because they did not have a tv. Did the kid's parents never once wondered where there child was at hell if that was me my mom be yelling all around the neighborhood with belt hand just waiting to put to use on my spying ass. Well anyways the story progresses and the kid starts talking about how he finds them intresting and mysterious because they don't have elmer fudd lunchboxes and how they probably didn't understand the pop culture refrences in everyday life, which if he would have asked would have known is not true because there points in my life where I grew up without tv and right now as I sit here and write this I do not watch conventional tv but when people make a joke or imitate a tv character I know exactly what they are talking about. I know it seems like I didn't like the story but honestly what I am trying to say is that author's message is clear and I know everything points to "yes I was a weird little kid and probably still am" the real message is that even though the tomkeys didn't have what the rest of society deemed neccesary they did have something that is more important than television and that was the ability to have meaningful conversation with one another. I know this because the little boy was surprised that they actually talked at the dinner table that they would do things as a family, and when he tried to start a conversation at the end of the story he got a good ole "shhh" and he realized that the tomkeys had it everything especially his candy. No, I'm not gonna talk about this kid weird greedy self that instead of giving candy he instead opted for eating it all at once, so yea I'm not gonna go there because honestly I do not know the message behind that part of the story and I really don't want too

The luck of the Irish

Well I'm a really big fan of soccer you know its something that i have known about for most of my life I love playing it, I love watching it, I love talking about it and I absoutely love the World Cup, but one thing HATE is cheating. Everybody in the world knows the rules of soccer you kick with your feet into the opposing goal and the only person allowed to touch it with their hands is the goalie well it seems the country of france do not understand this rule. If any of you have been keeping up with the WC qualifiers you would know that France one of the soccer powerhouses was forced to participate in a play off due to their poor performances in the main qualifying competition. Well after Fifa had deceided not to seed the teams they changed their minds and deceided that seeds were needed which meant that none of the big teams would have to go against each other. Well France was paired with Ireland for the playoff and by the way Ireland had been doing amazing up until now and just missed out for a direct berth by a couple of points. Well France somehow pull off a win at Irelands home so basically Ireland had to beat France at their home to be able to go to the world cup and they had to beat them by 2 goals or more to go or by one goal to go to penalty shootouts. Nobody expected ireland to do it but they were they were actually doing the imposible they were beating france at home and headed for penalty shootouts and im not saying that Ireland wouldve qualified but their chances were considerably higher when in the 103 min of extra time france scores thanks too a very clear handball that was seen even in the highest of stands but guess what... The refferee deceided to let the goal count effectively knocking ireland out of the competition. Now that really grinds my gears mostly beacause if your excuse is oh well the ref. did not see it FIFA well surely do something about it right? Wrong FIFA is ignoring the whole situation when in previous times when the bigger nation was the victim they had step in and demanded a replay of the game but of course its France they cant not have them at the World Cup thats ridicoulous. Thats not even the worst of it fifa runs a website called fifa.com well usually they post these articles with happened in the games and then they allow user feedback well of course me like any good soccer fan went to the website to yell hand ball but wait when i type in the words fifa or anything that has to do with the game they block me and say i was using profanity when the most profane word i used are shame and fifa. So now I'm done with my rant and if fifa does what is right and do at least something about this situation I will come back and retract this but until then I say HANDBALL!!!

No shave november

I often had wanted to participate and this weird yet not entertaining holiday-esque event. Well this year i finally got too with my tres pelitos on my chin but I am sorry to inform that today i caved. Why? you might ask well frankly because its gross don't take me wrong it was fun while it lasted and I'm not dogging those who can pull off a mean ass beard or stache but I just can't do it I feel too dirty... Yes i said dirty its like constantly having nasty scuzzy shit on your face well at least for me it is. Each time I take a shower I get pissed because no matter how many times I scrub its still there so even though shaving is a pain in the ass I shaved it off. As I shaved i felt a different array of feeling mostly joy and sorrow. Joy cause that nasty scuzzy feeling was finally gone and sorrow because damn I caved oh well I guess there is always next year.

Apple jacks

Every day millions upon millions of people are faced with a very important decision every morning some of us have a wide range of choices to choose from others aren't so lucky but this morning i had three options: cookie crisp, apple jacks or the ever good corn pops as you can see some pretty tough choices but as you can probably guess i choose apple jacks some of you as you read that last sentence stood up yell blasphemy because I did not choose corn pops or the nasty but not really i just don't like it cookie crisp. It was just that I was feeling apple jacks even though they do not taste like apples in the least bit, its more like cinnamon than anything else, but it's all good. Well as I sat there enjoying my bowl of apple jacks I realize that the people behind apple jacks must been pretty sneaky people to try to deceive millions of kids into believing that there product had something to do with apples doing jumping jacks or a abnormally named man called apple jacks either way all of it turned out to be false but in the process they maintain their little charade for many years well at least they fooled me and frankly i feel ridicoulous for believing them. I mean they did not even try to hide it like you know disguising the actual cereal like little apples no they just got a bunch of green and white fruit loops gave it little pimples and called them apple jacks without giving the world an explanation come on that should not go unpunished. At least a strong reprimand because I went my whole childhood under the false impression that they had something to do with apples. Well I can't blame the whole falseness and trickery thing on apple jacks because corn pops ( the retarded yet better tasting cousin of popcorn) has nothing to do with corn with the exception that they are both yellow but that's it they don't even have a corn related mascot well at least not yet. Anyways after thinking all of this all I can is that what the hell they still taste good.
