Goodbye ://

Okay so I know we're supposed to do your blog on something in the news but, I want to do mine on the Seniors that will be gone in 3 days ://

This year went by really fast. And now, looking back i'm kinda wishing I would have taken more time to have fun. A party here. Hanging out there. Just being with my friends.

I really hate this time of year. Because, over the course of the year, I'm bound to get close to at least one senior. However, this year, I'm particularly fond of 2. I really don't want them to leave. I mean, I know its good for them to get out of this school and away from this town but I'm gonna miss them a lot. They make my classes fun. They are (some of) my best friends. Both of them have been there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to. <3

Just cuz I've gotten close to two of the seniors this year doesn't mean I'm not gonna miss all of you. Seniors were a big part of our sports teams. They add to the character of this school. I know that next year a new flow of seniors will come in and the story will repeat. ://

And, this year is really hard. Not just because of the Seniors leaving. But becuase of a lot of my other friends moving. Everyone who I openly call my "brother" will be gone next year. These next 2 weeks are the last I have with them. ://

So, heres to all the Seniors. Special mention to Eric (Teddybear), Trevor (smexy mexican), Seth (Sethaluffagus), Johnny (my short buddy), Stetson (my other lover), Caity Lynn (my dumb blonde Texan),and Marissa (bestest friend). I love you all very much. And I'm very happy that ya'll are a part of my life. You have helped my through some rough times. And, I know not all of you will read this. But, it still needs to be said. I really don't want this year to end... Cuz I don't want to lose all of you. I just hope that even though your're leaving, we don't lose touch. That would honestly kill me :// Not all of you are moving far either. And in that case, I hope that we can still hang out sometimes (:

I love you all <3


Just so you have something to comment on, what seniors are you gonna miss? Do you have any friends moving away? Are you moving? If yes, where to? And who (in general) are you gonna miss next year?

What Have The Schools Come To?

On Friday, a track coach in suburban Boston was fired becuase his boys track team weren't wearing their shirts on a 75 degree day. He was let go on the spot and escorted of school property. He wasn't even given a reason for his firing. And all this because a few girls felt "uncomfortable" about the boys not having shirts on.

The team was undefeated with their 2-year coach. However, when he was fired, they lost their first meet.

Alright, this is a high school team. So, there should be high school girls. Last time I checked, most girls like guys without shirts??  And, if the boys are in track, they should be fit, yes? So, whats the issue? Are the girls seriously THAT prude that they freak out over a guy not having a shirt on?? Just wow. It's those kind of girls that annoy me endlessly.

Also, if I were the coach, I would be pissed. Beyond it. Fired in front of my team because of a few annoying prude little girls. Not to mention that my team was probably very hot. I mean, 75 degrees outside & you're out running around. Thats just cruel. Besides, it's not like it was a girls team going topless. It was boys!! You see shirtless men in public ALL THE TIME.

Just... I honestly can't explain how mad this story made me without using quite a bit of "Unappropriate School Language." So, I'm just going to go.

Views?

Read it for yourself.

Mrs. Flikkema,  I'm sorry. I mean, this isn't a story about what happened to Osama Bin Laden. It's a story about how America celebrated but still... I couldn't find anything else.

Anyways... As the whole world knows, Osama Bin Laden was pronounced dead last night (5.1.11). And the US finally has something to celebrate. Major crowds gathered at sites like Ground Zero and the White House last night and many other smaller groups around the USA. Spirits have never been higher. It had been 10 years of frustration building & building. We all wanted this guy dead. We wanted him to pay for what he did to this nation. And finally, karma caught up with him.

The Phillies & Mets were in the middle of a game when the chant "U-S-A! U-S-A!" camedown from the crowd. New Yorkers gathered in Times Square waving American Flags, chanting "U-S-A!", singing the national anthem. I think this is a great showing of how well we can band together and how everyone (no matter what differences we have) can celebrate this news & finally get a bit of closure.

I'm happy for the families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks, for the ones who have had loved ones die over seas in search for this SOB. Finally, the USA has something to be proud of in such a rough time.

Idk, I'm just proud of this country (for once.) Thoughts? How did you find out? Did you believe it at first?Where were you when you found out?

Go USA (: Link
