Not to Boast, but.....

Alright, today is Sunday, and I have quite a bit of homework, but first I have to boast a little.
Yesterday was National Qualifiers for Congress Debate, and I went in expecting to get nominated, but not win any award. Well, it just so happened that i got first place in my house, and I am going to Congress Nationals in late June!
Whoot! Whoot!

Here is a picture with me showing my joy and my plaques that I received at the tournament.

As you can tell, I also have laser eyes!
By the way, this is my first picture blog. Yay!

If Nudity was Legal

If nudity was legal, i would like it a lot because many of the problems people face with buying clothes and whatnot would be solved.
If nudity was legal, i would like it a lot because i would not have to worry about what other people thought because I would know they look the same.
If nudity was legal, people would not always associate nakedness with sex, and this would be good because Janet Jackson does not deserve the amount of attention she got.

I'm a slightly bitter liberal when it comes to nudity. Personally, i would love to be able to wake up in the morning and not spend ten minutes of the day trying to find a clean pair of underwear. This irritation has led me to the ultimate realization of the ridiculousness surrounding nudity in our culture. Not to say that a hot naked chick doesn't turn me on or that I am above my culture (because i certainly am not), but if nudity were legal, some of the problems surrounding it would be eliminated.
Sorry to say, but i don't think the law is going to change any time soon, because i think the United States would fight a war against a naked country before it adopted its culture. I'm not naive, and i realize there are politicians in this country who cater to the majority of prude americans, but i thought i would spread my political message as a subversive tactic to undermine our holy laws!

Today was 4/20

In honor of the day, 4/20, i wore a hemp necklace (which i never wear) and a green "Atlanta Botanical Garden" (you know what's going on), and i wore green shorts. Boy, i did everything a pot smoker would do on 4/20.............except toke up. Sorry to say, I have never gotten high, but it is fun to become swept away by the free-spirited and lazy culture of marijuana use.
Samara told me that she wants to decorate her house with bongs when she is an adult because she finds some of them beautiful. I don't know if she realizes that there is beautiful glassware available that is not intended for smoking marijuana.
So I talked to my #2 data match partner yesterday. She should be number one, but morgan copied my data match sheet with 97% accuracy, so, once again, #2 should really be #1. We have started to look at good buys for houses, and we have a baby on the way. Those data matches sure were right! I am the happiest man alive! Thank you data match! (Here's looking at you Chelsea).
Soooooo.........prom was, uh, exciting and hilarious (not at the time, but in retrospect). Most of you know who i went with and know the situation, but to those of you who don't know, i basically told my prom date i never wanted to talk to her again. Today I got a two page, front and back letter describing her feelings about that night. Wow. I'm never going to go out with her again, but i think i have to write her a letter or something.
Once again, i had track today, but there were no exciting stories involving invading armies or machine guns today, i just had to run.
Well, i think i have run out of stuff to say, and I am just babbling, so i will let you people get back to your lives. Sorry for wasting your time.

Life's never gonna be the same

When I start feel as though I've gotten a grip
My hands grow weak and I start to slip

I've given up falling, but I'm still going down
And under a smile I still wear a frown

I'm starting to heal, but I've so far to go
This life, on occasion, seems like a show

And it occurs to me in this numbness of pain
That my life will never be the same again

Blog Because You Love It

Well, the title doesn't really describe the blog, but I thought it was a good motivational statement.
I have found a new weekend activity. That activity is basketball! It has been a long time since I have played basketball in my leisure, but now it is something that I find great fun. I especially like the fact that I can play with people that are as bad as I am. Before basketball, weekends would become boring, and finding something to do would often involve thinking of illegal activities or spending tons of cash. Now, all we have to do is grab a ball and play. No cost involved. Now I understand why all the brothers in the ghetto play ball. Anyway, that's all I have to say about that. Peace. (I really have put some pictures on here next time)

America, Land That I Love (a.k.a "The Deanna Laney Story")

Ah, America, a place where a poor child can grow up and become wealthy, where oppressed people around the world can seek asylum, and murderers can be acquitted for blaming god on their crimes against humanity. I am referring to Deanna Laney's killing of two of her children and severe injuring of another--all in the name of god. She was acquitted of capital murder. Instead, she was deemed crazy, and she could spend as much as 40 years in a nuthouse. This sounds like an interesting and horriffic story, but it is one that raises a question in my mind. If killing in the name of god is crazy, then why haven't many of our presidents and military leaders been committed? If killing in the name of god is crazy, then there aren't many sane people on this planet. My conclusion is that Deanna Laney is not crazy, she is a genius. She did cite correct bible passages to support her side, and by doing so, she proved she couldn't have committed a sin....er, crime.
