Goodbye Double 0 Decade!

So, this year hasn't been a good one in terms of this blog. Since it began I got a whopping 3 posts, and 1 comment. But 2o1o is coming, so perhaps things will change!

I was watching a Smosh video the other day, and Ian had a good point. What are we supposed to call the next year?

Two Thousand Ten

or

Twenty Ten

?

That question will bother me for the next 9o years...

On a more personal note: A friend brought up yesterday that not only will tomorrow mark a new year, but a new decade, and this past decade has brought A LOT of change in my life. I've been from 3rd grade, all the way through high school graduation, and to a freshman in college in this decade, and that can only happen to a group of people every ten years, to be able to hit every level of schooling in one decade. I find that pretty amazing. Thanks for pointing it out Corey ;) I've moved to North Carolina and back, and have had 5 different addresses. I've made the best friends that will follow me for the rest of my life, and have also met the love that will follow me for the rest of my life.

Yes, that was more personal than my posts usually are, but those are some pretty big things to me, that have happened in the past decade.

So tonight I will ring in the new year with my aforementioned best friends and for the first time, I've made a lot of resolutions:

1. To be a bit more creative with my style- I really feel like I've been wearing pretty much the same kind of stuff since 8th grade.

2. Stop getting mad and stressed out so easily- seriously I could get mad about something right off the bat, and (most of the time, not all) about 5 minutes later I'll think to myself, "Why did I get so mad about that?"

3. Blog more on this site, and make graphics more often on my Xanga site- I know, I'm really falling behind.

4. Do as good as I can with school- I know, this is classic and everyone says it, but I'm taking a hard major and even though I'm doing pretty good, I've still gotta buckle down.

5. Exercise more and try to eat better- the biggest classic of all, but it's a good one.

6. Actually start keeping a budget- I'm so broke and poor...

7. I was going to say complain less, which I guess I could try, but face it, there may be no blog if I didn't complain as much as i did, and I just wouldn't be me.

So what's your resolutions? Maybe this could have given you some ideas if you haven't made any yet, but there's only a few hours left of 2oo9, so I'd jump on that if i were you.

There will be more to come in the next year.

Happy New Year, and Happy New Decade!

Hopenhagen: Use Your Voice

Everyone is talking about climate change and how it seems as though nothing is getting done, well here's a chance for people to actually do something.

Everyone should sign this. I know a lot of people think:

"This is just some stupid internet thing that no one is going to look at, why should I waste 5 minutes to sign it?"

Well guess what, your voice does matter!

I'm sick of people being afraid to say things because they don't think they'll be heard. If Rosa Parks thought that way, imagine how different our country might be, and the only people who heard her was 4 at the most, but that was still enough to influence a movement across the country. So speak up everyone, and use your voice, because you can make a difference whether 1 or 1,000,000 people hear what you have to say.

Two things we were born with is a voice and an opinion, so put them both out there and try to make some positive changes in our world, please. (if by chance you were born without a voice, write a letter)

So yeah, everyone sign that petition, it takes less than 5 minutes out of your day. Make yourself heard. Because one person can make all the difference in the world.

One Kind Of Person That Really Gets On My Nerves...

Cheaters.

So I received a voicemail a few days ago, from a guy whose voice I didn't recognize (so, definetaly not my boyfriend). The number was 'Withheld', so I thought it was a prank at first. But after asking around I realized, it was someone who seriously got the wrong number. This how the message went:

"Hey baby, why haven't you called me back yet? I said I was sorry for cheatin' on ya."

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

There were just so many things about this that got me mad.

First of all buddy, your girlfriend is not going to call you back anytime soon. What guy forgets his own girlfriend's number? Twice! Yes, this jerkface called me twice before leaving a message. I can see why she wouldn't want to talk to him.

Second of all, why do people have to cheat? This guy thinks just cause he said sorry, his girlfriend is supposed to just forget all about it? Girls don't work like that! You've gotta get down on your hands and knees and buy like 1o dozen roses before a girl could even consider getting back with a cheater.

Seriously though, this guy really annoyed me. And I don't even know him. Not to sound judgmental, but if he cheated on his girlfriend, he's probably an idiot and I wouldn't even want to know him, because no one deserves to be cheated on. If you have a problem, talk it over or break up, cause cheating is just gonna make everything worse. I really don't get why people don't understand that.

I actually know someone who cheated in a relationship, and even though I was really close to them, I lost soo much respect for them after that night. And it didn't make it much better that they pretty much bragged about it instead of even trying to act guilty.

So to all you cheaters out there, grow up. Seriously. Because you can really hurt someone bad who doesn't deserve that kind of emotional abuse. Be mature and talk about stuff, or just cut it off, because cheating will break a heart more than breaking up. And to those of you who've been cheated on, I pray to God that you didn't get back with that person because you deserve a whole lot better.

And to the guy who left that message on my phone, you are a jerk. And I wouldn't be surprised if your (ex?)girlfriend never talked to you again, because she probably never even got your message, and you know what, good for you. Because even though I don't know either of you, she deserves better.

A little bit about me:

I complain a lot, but I still try to look at life with an optimistic attitude. Basically, I'm just a big contradiction. (who makes a lot of typos, so forgive me if it ever happens.)

I'm currently in college and have a part time job at the place where no person would ever willingly work unless they were desperate, (yes I'm talking about you McDonald's), and for some reason I enjoy having too much stuff to do with so little time.

I tend to procrastinate but believe I'm getting better at avoiding it... sometimes.

As I said, although I don't always enjoy it, and others most definetaly don't enjoy it, I find myself complaining about and criticizing the most random things, and that's pretty much what this is for: just my random thoughts and complaints of the day. Or week. Or month. Or however often I feel like typing.

Peace&Love:)
