Shout out to Tim Deshay!

       My best friend, no, my brother Tim is like no guy I've ever met before.  Despite issues and a severe lack of appreciation he has managed to stay proud with his head held high.  Because of this I have decided to share a story with you about dear Tim.  
       Last weekend Tim stayed at my house with me for a few days, and on one of those days my mom decided we needed to get exercise.  I know, I know, lame; but what we did with this lame task was actually pretty cool.  We walked on the train tracks to the grocery store and got some food.  As we were walking out of the store we were attacked by.. wild scout moms! No joke, we are leaving the store and these pushy ladies are yelling about cookies and all the ways that you can pay for them etc.  Me being the charmer I ask, "Does money work?" Famous last words.  Tim's groan at my awful humor was ended by his telling me which cookies were best.  I am not quite sure if the actual girl scouts ever said anything but the cookies were good, Tim knows his cookies.  
       The "new experience" of Tim's was we took some eggs under a bridge and threw them.  As they splattered and transformed from eggs to bits of goo Tim and I laughed and walked home, it was a great adventure.

The Interview

       So, I had been freaking out all day about this interview I had to transfer schools.  As soon as school ended I rush to the restroom and make sure that my hair looks perfect, my teeth aren't yellow, and that I just look all 'round presentable.  As I leave the bathroom I manage to avoid a verbal altercation with an annoying individual and get down the stairs, grab a few good luck hugs, and leave.  I hop into the car my mom is talking but all that I can think about is this interview.  We get to the school and the campus scares me because it's like a college campus.  I'm all, "Wow, this place is sweet," and my mom is all, "Now don't get intimidated by the way things look!" So I got intimidated..

       We get a little lost and my mom tells me to get out of the car and find where I need to go, she is going to find a parking space.  I play it cool and get out, start walking, and realize I don't have any idea where I am going.  Just when I was about to give up hope I see someone I know and ask them where the building is where my interview is being held and the conversation was like this:

Me: Heyy, so where is Presley Hall?
Allison: Just go that way, its the kinda big building.
Me to myself: which one.....

       Well, I found it and got to where I needed to go.  I did some socializing and loosened up and was all ready and they call all the kids for our interviews.  I thought I was about to have my interview but no, I had to fill out this little piece of paper and wait for around 45 minutes.  By that time I was so done that the whole thing took maybe half the time it should have and I was ready to go.  I really hate waiting.  I hope I got in..

When people don't respond..

       If I see you are online and I think you are cool, pretty, funny, amusing, or any other positive personality trait then I will message you to see what you are doing, how you have been, and the rest of it.  When you don't respond it really confuses me, because I know that I haven't said anything offensive to justify your rudeness, or said anything creepy to allow you to shy away from me.
What the hell people! If someone wants to talk to you and you don't, please have the decency to respond saying that, or that you are doing something else.  When you just don't respond it sends a message saying:

Dear Individual,
You sir suck, go away. I not only don't want to talk to you but I think that your existence is a waste of my time.
Sincerely,
Douche

       It's not a cool thing to do, it just makes you less valuable because whichever trait caused me to message you is now ignored just because of the fact that you are a rude person.  In the end, what are you trying to accomplish?

Why do people always..?

       Why do people always feel the need to make up rules as to what I can and cannot do?  I am pretty sure that you can't actually control any part of my body, so what the heck do you think you are doing telling me what to do?
       Especially if you are some kind of hypocrite, "Don't eat so much, you'll get fat!" says fat people.  "Don't interrupt!" says the person who just interrupted you to start their conversation. Seriously, guys?  Stop. Just go home.
       If you want to have the right to tell me what to do, buy me food or coach one of my athletic teams, if you can't or won't do either of those things then I'm sorry, you can't boss me around because I won't listen.
       That being said, if you smile as you say it I will probably listen.  Who doesn't like to make people happy?

Top three TV shows you can learn from.

       In all the time I have spent watching TV I have found that some shows are more helpful then others, and the following shows are by far the most helpful in daily life:

       First of all there is "How I Met Your Mother".  It is a wonderful series where a guy is telling his kids the story of how he met their mother, and all the events preceding that. It gives great insight into the lives and minds of young adults in their element and all the relationships and kinds of relationships that they happen to have.  The character that is most interesting to pay attention to is not actually Ted (the father of the kids) but Barney, because he is aw, wait for it, some. True story!*
*Reference to the show, you have to watch it to get it.

       Next there is the show "Lie to Me".  This is a drama that shows a lot of psychological "hints" based on a persons body language.  Of course not everything done on the show can help, or be used, there is enough to where you will be stunned with the results.  Not to mention that the entire show is ironic because.. well I won't spoil it but you'll see.

       Last and probably not least, maybe, is the show "White Collar". Now I know what you're thinking but it really is a great show.  Although it is entirely fictional and seems to be just for entertainment it teaches people that pay attention about the human response, the human condition, and different "survival modes".  There is no such thing as coincidence and this show helps to make that apparent, so don't miss your chance to watch it!

Valentines Day Post.

       How ironic is it that on Valentines Day I rediscover love?  I know I hate it too, I am so sick of hearing about love and the horror that is Valentines Day.  I mean seriously, it's initials tell more about the holiday then its mindless consumer worshipers.  Back to me, I rediscovered love on VD and I don't really know what to do about it, nothing happened it was just kind of a realization, is this the end of stupid worthless hookups?  Maybe.  I wish that life had a manifesto to love with a very good table of contents and went into an impressive amount of detail.

A day in the life.

     So my parents decided that they wanted to go to Florida, and me being stuck in school I got to stay at my Grandma's house.  I enjoy doing this most of the time but unfortunately it was during a homework filled weekend, making the majority of my stay exhausting and miserable.
     On sunday afternoon my grandmother took my cousin to the orchestra, no I don't know why he wanted to go, I'm not into that sort of thing.  When they left my uncle came over and picked me up so we could hang out.  We had some good talks and decided to go get this book about finance for my uncles new acupuncture and chinese medicine practice, and went to one of those chain bookstores that everyone forgets exist.  Once we got in there we found the book and got in line, I was thinking about how I could show my uncle I was in his corner when an idea came to me, I could pay for his book.  I pulled out a twenty and handed the cashier the money when the following dialogue happened:

Uncle: What do you think you're doing Noah?
Me: Paying for your book.
Uncle: But why?
Me: Because I can and I am trying to show you that I'm behind you!
Uncle: Now I am going to have to buy you a hooker or something!
Cashier: Wow man, you better pay for everything you can!

     Most interesting time anyone has ever had in a bookstore.  Ever.  How sad is that?
