Forever Better

**HA! I mixed two song titles mentioned in this post to come up with something else! Brilliant!**

Allrighty wonderful people out there. This post is going to be strictly MY opinion of the world. Well, at least certain people in the world. If you don't like how I talk about Michael Jackson or Taylor Swift/Joe Jonas or Democrats, then I'm sorry! I am not trying to offend anyone here. ;)

So. First topic is Michael Jackson. I think we all know that he died several days ago, and that was sad. It's sad when anyone dies. But honestly! The media just won't let any of us move on. Turn on the TV? Michael Jackson. Turn on the radio? Michael Jackson. Have a conversation with anyone over the age of 12? Michael Jackson. There have been several reports of people committing suicide BECAUSE of Michael Jackson's death. Look people. M.J. was obviously a huge MUSICAL legend. But let's face it. He was a freak. He was a very messed up man who, yes, was an amazing singer/dancer/performer, but he was NOT an amazing person. People should not be taking their own lives just because someone else died without his choice! When you commit suicide, you are choosing to end your own life. Michael Jackson is believed to have suffered cardiac arrest. I know what that is because my own mom nearly died from it seven years ago. It's your HEART. And you do not control it. But if my mom had died from that, would I kill myself just so I could be with her in heaven? No! I would live the rest of my life to the fullest and hope she smiled down on me. The death of a celebrity is no reason for someone to cause their own death. Believe me, Michael Jackson isn't worth it.

So Blonde, you know how we were talking about the Taylor/Joe thing the other day? (What are they called anyway?! Like there is Niley and Brangelina and all those other famous couples abbreviations...so does that mean that they are called, what, Toe...?) Wow. Anyway, I don't think you can say that Joe is the mean one. I like Taylor Swift, too, but let's face it, she CAN be a bit of a drama queen/brat. All you have to do is listen to her songs. She is ALWAYS the "victim", at least that is how she tells the stories. All of her songs are either about:


a) Her being mad at a guy
b) Her being heartbroken
or
c) Her wanting a guy to notice her.
(and occasionally she will have a song about being happy with a guy.)

In what song has she EVER, EVER apologized?! Um...I don't think there are any. And we all know that "Forever and Always" is about Joe, but it's a pretty harsh song. For example:


Was I out of line?
Did I say something way too honest
Made you run and hide
Like a scared little boy
I looked into your eyes
Thought I knew for a minute
Now I'm not so sure

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when he said forever and always


So, she is the victim here? Apparently so. And that might be true, but she really couldn't have been a perfect angel and the big meanie Joe decided it would be fun to break her heart. Let's take a look at Joe's response to her, called "Much Better."


I get a rep for breaking hearts
Now I'm done with super stars
And all the tears on her guitar
I'm not bitter



They said in an interview and in their lyric book that this song started out as a story about one specific person, but they ended up making it a sort of song for their fans. That's why the rest of the song obviously has nothing to do with Taylor. And also, if you've actually listened to "Much Better" and not just read the words, you will have noticed that it is a very fun, energetic, but sweet song, and Joe does not sound in the least bit angry or as he said, bitter.

To further prove my point that Taylor can be a bit of a, um, brat, let's take a look at some of her other song lyrics.



"Picture To Burn"

State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine, I'll tell mine you're gay


Cause I hate that stupid, old pickup truck you never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn

Yeah...the rest of the song is pretty mean too. But the point is that Taylor obviously takes blows pretty hard, and she tends to blame other people. Ugh there is someone I know who is like that, always the victim, and believe me it's insanely irritating. BUT all I am saying is that we need to take what Taylor says with a grain of salt.

I'm wondering why you said that you "hate" Joe. Why? Because he and Taylor broke up?! I never thought they were a good couple anyway, and it definitely didn't work out. So we can't blame him. A relationship calls for two people to put in equal input, and a breakup needs to be between two people, for whatever reason.

Those are some of my ramblings of the day! I am almost finished, don't worry. ;)

BUT BEFORE I SIGN OFF!

Has everyone heard?! Oh my Jonas! Everyone knows who the Jonas Brothers are, but there are bound to be a few broken hearts this week. Why? Because Kevin Jonas is officially engaged! I am so happy for him and I think it's great that he is willing to make the commitment of marriage to, quote from him, "the most amazing girl in the world." How sweet! Congratulations, Kevin and Danielle!

.....Hopefully she actually loves him and is not simply a) wanting to get filthy rich, FAST or b) suffering from a case of OJD - Obsessive Jonas Disorder. Heh, sorry, a bit of sick humor there! I know she must really love him! :)

Okay, last bit before I go. My video is ALMOST done, hopefully I will be posting it tomorrow. I'm glad that some of you voted! I hope you like it when it's completed! I've worked really hard on it...so if you don't like it then, um, just pretend to.

LOVE LOVE LOVE,

brunette.

Disturbia (random I know, but I was listening to the song as I was typing!)

Hey you, my stupid philosophical Blonde! (well that's how you put it, I'm not going to argue) :) I am SO SO sorry that I have left you to do this silly blog by yourself! FOUR POSTS?! All by one girl? CRAZY! CONSPIRACY! I've just been so busy lately....I haven't had time to do anything on the computer. That reminds me, I have to respond to Emi....she emailed me! A few days ago too -- I haven't responded because, well, I already said it. Busy! Hahaha I am feeling guilty though, so I will definitely try to respond to her today. Or this afternoon. Or tonight. I am actually supposed to be doing schoolwork, cuz Mom and Mo and Mic are doing P.E. I already ran this morning so I am not doing it with them. I'm getting back into running....it was weird though, the reason I stopped for a while was because of the whole eating thing. I was just using the running as a way to burn more calories, but it hurt to run cuz when you don't refuel properly your muscles get really sore. But I kinda ignored the pain cuz I was dead-set on losing weight. I was kind of used to it by then, because honestly it hurts a little to starve yourself. But anyway...........hahahahahahaha :) Oh yeah speaking of that, I got my test back. I got a 92! Yay! Hahaha :) Basically I poured everything out on that essay question, and my teacher wrote a comment on the paper. This is what she said:

"Wow!! I got goosebumps! I think God has gifted you with an opportunity to counsel peaople with eating disorders. You speak from experience, so you can empathize with their feelings. Have you thought about this as a ministry or even a profession? I think you would help a lot of people!

I hope you over came your disorder to your satisfaction!! Praise God you're dealing with it before it's too late!"

I thought that was pretty cool! I never thought about counseling...I think I want to be a director when I grow up -- like direct movies especially. I've been thinking about it a lot lately. I mean it's always been something that I've enjoyed learning about, but I want to pursue it more seriously. For my electives for SM, I want one of them to be Beginning Film-Making. They offer it for freshman and sophomores...I'm so excited! It sounds like a lot of fun!!

Wow, it does feel like I'm writing in a diary! I write a lot of stuff that i WOULD be writing in a diary, if I had the patience to keep one. I always start one and then I keep it for a few weeks, then I get bored with it. My life isn't that exciting most of the time. Well, actually it is. But I don't like repeating it. :)

I called you last night to see if you were coming to EYG! I needed to know so I could pick you up....by the time you called my mom and I had already left hahahaha.... But you should have been there! We started learning the dance for the talent show....wow it was a blast! Verrrrry funny heheheheheeeeeee.... Oh yeah I get to be a guy, or maybe Martha (you know, the really big cheerleader girl hahahahahahahahahahahahaha lol!).

About the stuff with your friends/ex-friends.....there's a lot I have to say about that but since you love getting comments so much, I will save it for that! Bye for now.....I willl definitely try to post later today to make up for lost time! :)

Love, your insane friend,

Brunette.

P.S. Funny story...you know the test? Well Mrs.Tamez always gives whoever gets 100 on their test a candy bar. Well Paige of course got one cuz she aced the test (she's a total genius, I love her), but I got a candy bar too even though I didn't get 100! I think it was probably cuz of the essay question.....poor Mrs. Tamez wants to make sure I don't have a relapse! :)

Continued

Hi!!!! Ok, now I will continue.Oh, by the way, if you are reading this, Audrey, I read some of your blogs and they're good!!! Anyways, back to my story. So, you know how I don't like L? Well, I was kinda in a fight with some of my friends and it was kinda cuz of L and L thought it was because of me and J said I should just tell her the truth and that I am sick of her because she's kinda ruining my life right now! And I thought about it and I was debating on whether to do that or not already, so I did, I just said, L, you know, this fight is kind of about you and J does not feel comfortable with you hanging out with us because you guys fought a lot last year and maybe you hanging out with us is not working. Nice, right? She could've taken different meanings from that. And she didn't like say anything and just went to class. So then she tells the teacher that she doesn't feel well and she wants to go home. So she goes up to the office. By now it is lunch. With this new drama, our old fight is suddenly put on the shelf, and we are all discussing this and M and T saw L crying, and we want to explain and also not get in trouble, so we go up the stairs to see if she's ok. As we go up the stairs, L and her mom are going down the stairs. L's mom sees J and totally pins her up against the rail and starts SCREAMING at her IN SPANISH NO LESS and putting her finger in her face and everything because she thinks this is all J's faulty. Looking back, it's actually pretty funny, but at the time it was a little scary and J was like, I didn't DO anything! And L's mom stomped off with L. So J and M kinda talking and me and T talking by them and then I started crying 4 a reason that is just too long to blog about, you had to know aout everything, and so T and I go to the bathroom and J and M are calling J's mom to tell her what happened and then G(abi, a friend of ours), shows up and me and T are ok now, but still really worried about everything with L, so G says let's go to the snack bar and I will buy you guys ice cream. And so we're like, ok, cool. So we are walking up to the snack bar and J and M walk out of front office with assistant pricipal!!!! And J is walking ahead and she mutters to us, Don't get involved, don't get involved. So we're like ok, and Mrs. R. says, (who is universally hated) says Girls, were you involved? And I said, In what? and T looked confused and G said we were just going to get ice cream. And Mrs. R says ok, go ahead. So we went! So after we had a few bites of ice cream, our whistle blew and lunch as over. So I we went to our respective homerooms with our dear friends still in the principal's office. :( So, as I'm walking to homeroom, L's mom appears and starts like talking to me and saying that I haven't been acting like a Catholic and so on and so on and I say L hasn't either and then on and on we're arguing and my next class has already started and I'm standing outside talking to a angry woman with a thick accent and I can't even understand half of what she is saying and then M comes up and L's mom leaves and M says you have to go to the principal's office and the principal is in a meeting, so you have to write a paper on what happened. So I thought I might as well go now, before someone tells me to, so I went to the principal's office and my former art teacher who is absolutely EVIL is sitting there and says Come in, so I do. Then she says I have to write what happened. And I say what do you mean what happened, because I don't know what to write or where to start-like why I did stuff? And she was like, I don't know, just write it. And I was like Well, I don't know what to write, just my whole day, or what? (and I guess at this point, I was just being a little stubborn and difficult because this is such a stupid situation to be in and I really do hate this teacher). And J is in another room writing and cracking up because she can hear me and everyone hates this teacher. And she's like Just write what you're in here 4 and I was like I don't KNOW what I'm in here 4, I didn't really do anything, (besides, none of this is any of her buisness she just loves to punish people, Bradley always swears the only time she's happy is when she's giving out dismerits, hahaha he is really very funny sometimes), and she said write what you THINK you're here 4 and I said ok, but what is this 4? and she said 4 records and 4 mrs. m, (middle school pricipal), who's in a meeting. So I shut up and wrote 4 and a half pages explaining EVERYTHING, then went to class. Then today, I got called out of class with L and J and we basically resolved nothing with the principal and it was miserable because the principla was totally against us and 4 L, but I must say that it is very nice to have J involved, so I have someone to agree with and back up and someone to back me up too. Anyways, now L does not hang out with us and that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!!!!

And since you wanted details on Cory, well, sorry, I have nothing, I haven't talked to him in 4ever, so nada!!!!! And, if you are still reading, you will have said make up something, but I have already typed too much today and all I can say is the following true story which took place when my friends and I had lunch at Islands before going to see a movie:

AKWARD CONVERSATION:

(To give you background, only M knows who I like)

M: (Glancing pointedly at me) I think L likes Cory, (well, she said his real name, but whatever)
Me: Oh, yeah, she's ALWAYS talking about him.
J: Who does Cory like?
Me: I dunno.
J: I don't know if he likes anyone he's too smart hahahahaa.
Me: Ya hahaha
J: He's so nice.
Me: (Not saying anything, but a casual Mmmm)
(Everyone agrees)
