The Veteran's Four Day Weekend

Thank God for this four day weekend coming up. The school finally acknowledges that with Veteran's Day on Thursday, nobody ever bothers to go to school on Friday. Good job Highland High School. Our new principal, Stacie Bryant, is the coolest principal ever.

Let's see.. what am I going to spend my four days doing... Maybe.. Sleep? Music. Games. Whatever. Homework?... heck no.

But let's not forget what this Holiday is about. It's a day to commemorate our Veterans. These guys are the ones who fought for us, to ensure our freedom. Doesn't it feel nice to sit down and relax on the sofa with a snack or two, and watch TV? Maybe your favorite show like Smallville, The OC, or some other random awesome show. Or instead of this, would you rather be face down in the mud, and speaking German? Let's thank our troops, past and present. Let's mock and spit at the hippies, and tell them how ugly they are. Nah, don't do that.

Good Job Dumb Liberals You lost Kerry the White House.  Stop blaming it on conspiracies, voting machines, rampant redneck oppression, etc.  Typical liberal response... to blame everyone else for your problems.  It is your own damn fault.  It's called karma, you dumb bitches. 5 months ago, I thought Kerry was a lock to win this race.  Between the failures in Iraq, the scandals, the lack of intelligence in the CIA and the lack of intelligence in Bush's head... how could Bush not lose by a landslide? But you managed to do it.  With your negativity.  With your rabid name-calling and your condescending attitudes.  The multitude of stupid arguments and questions.  The annoying constant yelling and screaming, minus any substance. I can't count the number of times over the past month I've witnessed someone admit that they are voting for Bush, only to be glared at and gang-banged by their coworkers with "HOW can you vote for Bush?!?!" or "But Bush is so stupid!" or "Bush is evil... you can't vote for Bush!"  Way to win people over... by telling them they're stupid. Well, you certainly got a message across.  Unfortunately the message to swing voters is that liberals are fucking irritating as hell. It's funny how many people I ran into today who are just completely stunned by yesterday's results.  People are really baffled.  They can hardly believe that Bush actually won... because all you hear night and day (outside of talk radio) is about how terrible/stupid Bush is. But that's what happens when you shout down everyone else's opinion w/ your stupidity, rather than making an honest attempt to win people over.  You annoy the people that really matter, who just shut up voice their opinions where it really matters, at the polls. Kerry could and would have won this election.  I have no doubt in my mind that a good 1-5% of Bush voters were originally undecided votes who were turned off primarily by the overbearing attitude from the likes of Moore, dumb xangans, retarded hollywood actors and their ilk. But no... you people just couldn't shut the fuck up.  At some point, Bush became less stupid than liberals were irritating.  And that's what lost Kerry the election.  Stupid is bad, but irritating is worse.  Lesser of two evils.

I agree with the above's main point. Liberals are loud and irritating. Well, I shouldn't generalize, because that is surely wrong. I know many respectable people with liberal views that actually know what they are debating over. But on the flipside are the morons who spout out the most naive and ignorant garbage that originated from Michael Moore, some pretty-faced celebrity, or even from their own polluted minds. Some of this nonsense that I audited today sounded something like "Great, now we're all dead!", "This is another Vietnam!" "It's only a war for oil!". You stupid misleaded morons. We've only been in war for about a year. And were not all dead. There is no underground oil pipe in Iraq, as Moore likes to suggest in his "documentary" (more like a fictional film).

To be honest, I respect John Kerry. He presents himself as a good sport. He even called President Bush to congratulate him. I think of that as modern chivalry at its best. Be it a fabrication or not, I respect it. But I honestly believe that George Bush is the best man for the job. He's an awesome Christian. He holds many of my personal beliefs, such as gay marriage and abortion. Although Bush doesn't always do the popular thing, he does the right thing.

When we were attacked on September 11, 2001, our President Bush announced a War on Terror. This meant the destruction of all major terrorist groups. And in that time, everybody agreed. Terrorists needed to be stopped. Saddam Hussein was a horrible tyrant. He was a terrorist, and he needed to be stopped. Even Kerry agreed to this. This war is not a pointless war. This war is not a war for oil. This war is a war to secure our insecurities.

Last night, I didn't pray for Bush to win. I didn't pray for Kerry to win. I asked God to appoint the right man to run our country. I think he answered my prayer, I'm sure along with the other half of the country. Thanks.

Victory Map Charts

Here is Bush dominating in the beginning.

Here is Bush with just one electoral vote away from victory.
(even though FOXnews called Ohio too early)

Final. George Bush wins.

And a Final Word

I am annoyed by all the losers who said that if they would vote for Ralph Nader. First thing, you can't vote. You're still in High School, like me. Secondly, the only reason why somebody would say something like that is that they are cowards who are unsure which candidate is the better. So instead of voting for one of the two, you vote for the third. Ralph Nader. In this way, you are blame-proof out of picking the wrong president if he does a horrible job. But if he did a good job, you would live off the glory of not being wrong, since the person you voted for didn't really "count". I'm sorry for all of the above of it's informal diction. I just need to vent.

In you're face. Our new leaders.

Stupid stupid stupid (yes, stupid x 3)

The counselors at Highland Highschool are INCOMPETENT. Look at my sched:

00 Music SL IB
01 Physics AP
02 English 11 AP
03 Statistics AP
04 Latin 3 IB
05 US History (look at this bs, wtf. REGULAR history)

I spent my fifth period sitting there with the GHETTO-est people. I hate NORMAL classes. Seriously. When I wrote a note to the counselor about this bs, he wrote back "Conflicts with AP Stats and AP Physics". Well, if it does "conflict" with those classes, why the ____ didn't you tell me before you put me into a random class? And when I go to you tomorrow, you're gonna give me the BS that changing classes makes your job harder and shiz, and just give me the general run-around. Don't you dare bs me, you fool. I'll fight. I'm pissed.

Sure happy it's Tuesday

If you see Kay, tell her I said hi. - From AP Stats class. Sound it out. Analyze it. See if you get it.

Bye. No pics. I'm pissed.

My Sunday

I basically spent the WHOLE day at church on Sunday. Starting from 7:30 -

woke up > shower > breakfast >  drove to pick up justin > drove to sams house > to church

At the FFBC they celebrated a filipino thing called a filipino+yana ( I don't know how to spell it). We had service, then we saw a COOL dance. Rhey, Sam, and everybody else (sorry if I didnt mention your name) were dancing and it was really awesome. Then we ate some filipino food, all ending around 1:00. Then we -

dropped off justin > went to sams house > quentin arrived > went to jamies church

At Jamie's church (Bethel Baptist Church).. the speaker there... I COULDN'T understand him! I tried, I really did. Some of the words I recognized were "Samson", "God", "Bible" and the rest were heavily accented with filipino.

And to summarize the rest of the day in one sentence... we ate, we went home, the end.

New Song

Coheed and Cambria - A Favor House Atlantic

This song is one of the greatest songs ever! If you don't agree, then you like boys. And if you are a girl, you have short hair and lift a lot of weights. I love the high emo voice.

Olympics 2004

Hyolee at the Olympics Athens, Greece.

This guy here, Liu Xiang, WON the 110m hurdle finals and matched the olympic record. Amazing. His hair is cool, too.

This guy (Yang Tae Young)...

tried to steal the gold medal from this guy..

Paul Hamm (the real gold medalist)

And... I saw a guy in the Olympics walk across the screen with his HANDS in his PANTS. I can't find the picture but if you have it PLEASE send it to me!

Anyways. bye.
