Overprotective Parents...

on Media.

Skins is being criticized for possibly breaking child pornography laws within the United States. It is wrong for those to be broken yet these kids are professional actors with their parents informed of the certain things they're expected to do. Still, look at the big picture. Ever since the radio, parents have blamed the media for most of teenage problems. It started in music with rock, then hip-hop, eventually video games and shows. Those are some factors that help create the problem but the problem starts at home. We see our parents most of the time, hear their crazy high school stories and sometimes feel the need to out do them. Some can't name their teenager's teachers yet they can name the cast of Jersey Shore or Desperate Housewives. Face it, parents can also be couch potatoes and what they watch may affect our decision making. Desperate Housewives is full of sexual content and when we see our parents watching that, we may think, hey, when I'm thirty with sexy abs, a nice smile and a long shlong, I'm going to sleep around every housewife I find... If this ever gets read by parents, I'll be criticized for my grammar, spelling, lack of class and whatever minor things but the big picture is that what I say is true. They can say, my teenager isn't like that...well then good for you but truth is, not everyone is your teenager.

Why is Johnny smoking dope?

His home life sucks, his parents don't listen to him. They just think that giving him everything will make him happy.

How did Mary get pregnant?

Her parents are relaxed because she has good grades. They don't want to hover over her because its unhealthy but at the same they don't pay attention to her actions.

Why did Eddie get in a fight?

Daddy said that to be a man means winning a fight, showing everyone you are worthy and strong.

Everyone blames something else for their mistakes and instead of blaming the media parents, blame yourself. Its hard to see reality and face the fact that you did something wrong but its not too late. Things can still be repaired. Have a talk with your son, your daughter. Try to be more involved and watch the things you say around us.

DAMN ITS BEEN FOREVER!!

A few years ago, I visited the Air and Space Museum at DC. Turns out that a long time ago, when I was still in my fathe-there were standards to become an airline stewardess. Basically its the same standards models would have to fulfill. Have to be a certain weight, have to be a certain height and have to look a certain way. Why did this thing get abolished, repealed, thrown out or deemed inappropriate.

I believe that those standards, no matter how unfair and sexist they are helped the US economy. Now keep in mind that I'm only a high school senior but I think I'm on to something. With the growing amount of fat, perverted men in the United States, money can be reaped but no, not in sleazy strip clubs. NO!!! I'm talking about classy, high altitude fashion shows.

Admit it men! You would pay $100 to fly anywhere if flight attendants were hot like in the old days. It might even help with promotions at work. Yo! Adamson, I need you to fly to Japan to talk to some boring Japanese dude about boring business deals...

Today's response: "I'm sorry but I have a family emergency, my Great Aunt Sally is very ill and she might kick the bucket soon"

Today's response if there's a hot stewardess: "Is it a connect flight? Nevermind, yes sir, I'll take care of it."

See, it boosts initiative in the work place.

Don't do it, you still have a ...

So, where I live, there is this bridge that occasionally becomes a suicide spot. Now, first of all, I don't support suicide because everything can be fixed (maybe not AIDS), so ending you're life is pretty stupid. If you do try to commit suicide, at least go out with a bang (not, literally, I hope not literally).

I mean, lets face it, hanging you're self, come on, where's the originality, the creativeness, the excitement? The exciting part is finding out that you're already peeling and collapsing ceiling is supporting you're weight but other than that, its pretty boring. Then there's the trigger happy idiot. So, its a quick and painless death but think of the mess! Brain, blood, skull fragments everywhere! Man, that is just lame.

Now, jumping off of somewhere, now that's dare devilish! You got the cheering for you to jump from annoyed, impatient business men going. Then the jumping part, the adrenaline, just imagine that shit. Must be fun.

Sky diving without a chute. Thats another fun thing, at least you got to do something fun before ending you're life. Imagine what the obituary would say, "He was a bold man challenging himself till the end!"

But seriously, you're life is too valuable to end, and you only have one, unless you believe in reincarnation, then have fun being a cow! So, what if your girlfriend dumped you? Go suck it up and enjoy life. Go to Paris, London, try extreme sports, buy an expensive car, punch an abusive co-worker, cuss out that asshole of a boss. Try to learn something you've always wanted to learn whether its playing a guitar or flying a plane. Life is full of adventure and opportunities, so go and take advantage of 'em. Don't just go killing yourself because you lost you're house, one of you're loved ones that was close to you died or you're special someone broke up with you. Yes, it hurts and true, emotional scars never heal but it can be buried and replaced with a special memory.

Seriously, I think people who try to end their lives are stupid. They're so close minded and too blind to see the world and enjoy it. They rely too much on one person, or one thing. I think the most ignorant suicidal maniac would be the person who think they can't do anything or can't make a difference. "Oh, well I lost my job and my wife and kids, I'm no use, I'll just die!" Good job, now you are definitely no use. At least if you stayed alive, you could've tried to start a movement or a hobby that might raise awareness about an issue. You could go around and help people who can't help themselves, listen to their problems and who knows, you might find a new friend in the process. So to all the suicidal people in the world, don't be stupid and pick yourself up and try to talk to someone. Misery loves company, so go find a miserable person and help them and in the process, you can heal yourself by seeing that anything is possible and that whatever happens, you can still move on as long as you apply yourself!

Finding out who's the genius in the group

So, everyone has that friend who has a 3.5+ GPA right? Well, these days, GPA's just don't cut it anymore, the public demand common sense! So, want to find out who has common sense in your group of friends? Follow these instructions:

1)Find a spot to practice a seemingly dangerous act and practice the act flawlessly without you're friends finding out, (ie: Skill-less skateboarder (you) attempting to do a kickflip, the you practiced in secrecy and as far as your friends know, you know nothing about the fundamentals of pulling off anything)

2)Ask a friend to (or you do it yourself) Bring a filming device (cell phone, iPod Nano, camera, etc...)

3) Invite all you're friends for a hangout night

4) Tell you're friend to film you doing said stunt (everyone has that friend who really wants to see you get hurt for entertainment value)

5) IMPORTANT: Fake wiping out (or not, get bonus originality/stupidity points and an awesome scar if you're lucky)

6) Lay down as if you're dead (if faking) or watch the video and see who asks if you're alright and keeps asking it after getting no response or someone who immediately says "Call 911" after asking if you're alright

Obviously, the dude who asked if you're okay repeatedly is a dumbass since it should hit him that you're unconscious after the "accident" and the smart one is the guy who reacted by trying to save you're life.

Weird

So, I had a dream last night. I don't if it was dream or not because 'tis actually horrible which may turn it into a nightmare but its funny to some degree if you picture the whole thing happening which makes it a dream.

Anyway, here's the dream.

I was talking to a girl and she was very beautiful, almost model like. So we talk and then suddenly she pulled out some deadly weapons and tried to kill me. Using my Asian ninja skills, I quickly dodged her attacks and punched her in the face, knocking her down. Then, she said in a sweet, angelic, playful voice, "Ben! You're horrible" or was it, "Ben, you suck!" but anyway, she did say that. So I said sorry and picker her up, carrying her. I walked up the stairs and everything turned into a girly fantasy of princesses and princes, the prince being me. Now, the lighting becomes so intense that the girl almost looked like a glowing angel. As I look at her with passion in my eyes and love in my heart, she looked back at me. We stared into each other's eyes and she said in her soft voice, "I Love You!" Surprised and angered, I drop her onto the stairs and said, "YOU BITCH!" and I walked off.

T2 or New Moon

Okay, so who won in the movie battle of 2009. Obviously, Avatar but we'll throw that option away since, its still in theaters and its 2010, the two main movies have been Transformers and New Moon. Wait, what about Harry Potter and Up? Well, Up is a kid's movie and Harry Potter got old after the first 3 movies so back to New Moon and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Everyone knows that Megan Fox's sexy body and Taylor Lautner's ripped physic are irresistable, so who exactly won. According to Yahoo, New Moon came in 5th with a total gross of $288,548,185 while Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen relieved $402,111,870 placing it 1st. Who cares about numbers, lets ask the fans...um...me...well the bias fan.

Makayla (Megan Fox) vs. Jacob (Taylor Lautner)

40% of guys said that Megan Fox is Hotter

35% of guys said Taylor Lautner is Hotter

15% of guys says bullshit

10% of guys are undecided

Clear winner, Megan Fox but I'm worried about the 35% of guys saying Taylor Lautner is way hotter, because 1) they watched New Moon 2) are they straight?

Optimus Prime's waxed body or Edward's (Robert Pattenson) glowing body

Okay, seriously, who the fuck makes a vampire glow when exposed to sunlight? WHO??? What the fuck people! I swear, Twilight ruined everything about vampires, yes they have feelings but no, they're not crazy romantic. Enough about my rant.

Car enthusiast say that Optimus Prime's waxed body is way better since they can see their big chinned, Italian reflection on it. Kristen Stewart said that Robert wasn't supposed to glow but his uncontrollable sweating and the lighting on the set made it so that he glowed. So, its a disgusting tie!

One more thing, anyone notice that Megan Fox's white pants in the movie didn't seem to get dirty until the fight sequences and believe me, rolling in sand and desert and huddling in mud huts will make white pants dirty. Seriously, its like, clean, clean, clean, hey! a smudge, clean and wtf happened, theres burns and dust and sand and mud on her pants, how did it get dirty that fast?

You Know What...

You know what I never get, Asians that don't appreciate their culture. Now, lets get one thing straight, I love styled hair and drifting as much as the next guy but thats not the Asian culture. Im talking about eating the food, absorbing the history and being proud to be what you are. I don't really know where I'm going with this...Seriously, I don't even know the Asian culture because Asia is a continent. I'm not going to cover every thing.

Okay, Chinese people...um...fuck, what is the culture for Chinese people? Like, making crappy products and shipping it to the U.S.? Making crappy condoms? Aha! No wonder China is over populated!

Japanese, dude, okay, first of all, they also lost their culture. Damn, the freaking disturbing crap they do. That is just sick man. Funny though. Ah! Cars! Yea, Japanese cars are great, really reliable but that not their culture, its more like eating sushi and rice, singing karaoke and drinking sake.

Man...I don't know why you're still reading, I mean seriously, this post is going nowhere. I could do Tiger Woods joke but all the late night comedians used them up.
