Adjectives, Nouns, Verbs, Bad Words
What is the point of creating words that are considered 'bad words'? Swear words are just like any other part of speech and they can be used to emphasize certain things. When people are angry or just not in the greatest of mood, words that are 'bad' can help show how someone is feeling. People say these words and use them, but other people think they are just plain ridiculous and shouldn't come out of anybodies mouth. Who even put those certain words into there very own category of 'bad words'? Its extremely unnecessary. I feel like if it's a word that was created, you should be able to use it whenever. For example, I could list the words off right now, but this is a school appropriate blog so I would most likely get into trouble. I shouldn't get in trouble though for using regular words that are just part of this English language. I find it to be ridiculous that these words are frowned upon when they can add extra emphasis on a sentence and show a huge amount of emotion!

Growing is just weird...
Growing is such a strange thing. When you are born you are basically the size of a small teddy bear and by the time you are six your about three feet tall! How does your body actually grow? Bones just magically become bigger, muscles get stronger and eventually you turn into a wrinkly old lady that needs a cane to walk. I know that science probably has all the answers to this, but if you just think about it with no science, no biology or anything you will realize how strange growing is. Nobody really questions how weird growing is, they just always wish they could change how much they grew. Some want to be taller and some want to be shorter. It would be awesome if you could just choose how tall you were. Might be one less thing that people would complain about! Or what if you could just push a bright red button that would make your legs elevate and your arms lengthen out of your body! Instead we just have vitamins and minerals that make us supposably grow taller and stronger. Growing just makes no sense to me and it seems amazing that our bodies just do it.

Weird, Weird, Weird... Normal?
Being called weird is not always a compliment for most people. Weird is a word that gets labeled onto people who look different, talk different, or do just random different things that aren't considered "normal". Here's the thing though, isn't everyone technically weird? Everyone has there own little quarks or things that they do that just aren't normal. With everyone being weird, then what is normal? I know for a fact that at my school there are more people that everyone calls '"weird", than there are normal students. If there are more strange and odd kids, than shouldn't that be considered the norm? The weird kids are in the majority while the normal kids are in the minority. So shouldn't that be the other way around? Weird and normal are two words that get looked into way too much. The meanings should be the opposite these days because people are who they are and so everyone should be considered weird and not normal.

musical memorization
Music effects people in so many different ways. It can make people cry, laugh, or just get extremely hyper. Well maybe that's what it just does to me... Either way it's crazy how just simple words and random melodies can change a persons mood or even outlook on life sometimes. I listen to music at least five times a day. My mind always processes the beat and the lyrics that I am hearing. I seriously love music and relate to it all the time. People quote lyrics that mean a lot to them or just tell the same story that they might be going through. Honestly, I listen to music and relate to the lyrics better than I listen to people or teachers. People always make comments saying that they wish they could remember things in a class as well as they remember song lyrics. Why can people remember so many words in hundreds of songs but not remember two words for a Spanish test? Maybe if school was like a giant musical we'd be able to remember everything that goes on in classes and what the teachers are trying to teach. This post just took a completely different turn, but maybe it got your mind spinning a little bit.

2012
I'm going to be honest, I am a slight believer of the fact that the world may end on December 21st of 2012. That is this year. I'm a junior in high school, by the time it's December I will be in my second quarter of senior year. If the world ends, I'm not even going to graduate. So what is the point of spending all my time in school, when I'm not even going to be able to use anything I learned in school to help my future. I'm basically wasting my life away going to school Monday through Friday, just to die when I'm seventeen. Seriously, I think it's stupid. I want to enjoy my last year of my life by doing crazy things. I don't want to live the ending of my life sitting in a desk listening to an annoying teacher's annoying voice. I'd rather go bungee jumping or just go sprint down the middle of the road with no clothes on! I'd want to live it up. I mean who wouldn't if they were going to die? I'm hoping that the world doesn't end, since I'm going to stay in school... but when it does, I'll be upset that I didn't take the risks. 2012

Food...
All that's on my mind right now is food. I love food. Americans love food. I don't know why food tastes so good or why it fills people up and gets rid of that pulling and pinching in you're stomach. Everyone has to eat, it's kind of how we survive. I just want some food right now. That's it. So hopefully I just made you hungry, if you weren't before. Go eat.

Wondering of Words
How did languages first come about? People communicated through actions and pictures before they really spoke to each other, but how did they figure out a way to agree on certain words having certain meanings? They couldn't just say "Hey, lets make the word cat stand for a furry animal...". So how did they make words or even sentences to make a whole lot of people start to understand what they were saying? Was it just two people who communicated through drawings and then decided that they were going to use their mouths to talk instead of just to chew food? It's just extremely confusing to me as to how a language got started. Not just one language but thousands of different languages in this world had to be started off somehow, and it's strange to think of how it all came about.

Interesting thoughts...
Well i haven't posted in quite a while, I've been busy over break so I apologize. So as I've been on break I've had plenty of ideas to blog about, and I felt like this one that I'm about to type was the most interesting and I didn't want to forget it! So here's the actuall blog:
You know that little voice in your head, the voice that is reading every word of this. The same voice that has random little thoughts sprouting up while you're trying to read a book, but you're really thinking about how much you want to be out of class. The same little voice that tells you what to do or even what you're doing. Well, what would life be like if that voice just stopped? All of a sudden the only thing going on in you're brain was actual thinking; that's it. It would be weird to have a completely silent mind. Would more people go insane, or would less people go insane? With no words scrambling through your mind about what you're doing next weekend, could you still think about those kinds of things? It's something that has seriously been driving me nuts thinking about. That tiny little voice in your head, is actually a very large part of who you are. If that voice wasn't there, I feel like nobody would have anything to really do or be entertained by a whole lot. I know people say that you should always think before you speak, but without that little voice in your head, how would you know what you were actually thinking?
I don't know what life would be like without that little voice in my head, but even though it may get annoying when you're trying to go to sleep... I feel like it would be even more annoying if it wasn't there!
