I Had to Do It to 'Em

I dont know what to do anymore folks.....As we all know, with every new school year, there's also new "fads" that pop up around school like weeds after the rain. Now, some of these trends are hot, but others, ehhhh...let's just say we could do without. One of these "fads" that are growing increasingly popular, (and just as annoying), are the extra small backpacks. Everywhere I look now, theres some highschool guy, (or gal) wearing one of these ridiculous, small backpacks. Now, I started to notice this trend becoming popular towards the end of last year, and I returned this year to find that the "virus" had spread. It's nearly impossible to walk down the hallway without seeing some wannabe walking down the hallway with their mini backpack. But WAIT, the madness doesnt stop at there! Instead of taking their backpacks off like a normal person, the "hipsters" sit in class with the backpack ON! And dont expect them to leave it in the room when they go out for a sip of water. That bag isnt goin ANYWHERE! I find myself getting sssooo annoyed by this "fad" that it has ultimately become a distraction. I earnestly wish that teenagers would stop trying to be like everyone else for once, and just be THEM. It annoys me to no end to walk down the hall and see every guy wearing a G-Shock and every girl rocking a pair of Rainbow sandals. But as I always say, "What are you gonna do?". There are always going to be fads, and there are always going to be insecure teenagers who bend over backwards to conform to the crowd. Now, dont think that I'm being Mr. Uppity here. I, at times, find myself yearning to wear what the "cool kids" wear, but at the end of the day, you have to realize that it's your INDIVIDUALITY that makes you special, not your ability to blend in.

A Refection on Summer '09

Well folks, it's that time again...No matter where you are in the United States, summer is slowly, (or quite rapidly in my case) coming to a close. So with that, I ask, "What did you do this summer?". Did you make new friends? Did you do something life-changing? Did you try something new? Fortunately I can answer "yes" to all those questions. I can really say that this has been one of the best summers of my life thus far. I've gotten closer to God, and many friends. I've tried new things, and made new friendships. So all in all, my summer was great, and it's with great sadness and even greater anticipation that I look back at Summer '09, and then turn and look ahead at the future ahead of me...

In regards to my last post....

Well, I'm sure that everyone already saw the post that I did yesterday on Mariah's performance....Unfortunately, (or not so much), I've been forced to revoke my earlier compliments on this performance. I've watched it a couple more times and have really noticed just how boring and dumb it was. Mariah Carey has to be one of the most most boring performers to watch. Obviously stepping over people was the only choreography that she could manage to do while singing..Which brings me to my next point, the vocals. I'm not sure if Mariah was lip-synching at times but I think she was. To me it sounded like there were 12 backing tracks along with the backup singers which all equaled a hot mess. Mariah still needs to work on her vocals because it's obvious that she's not fully there yet. Hopefully she can get better because I'm tired of watching her perform like this.

FINALLY...She gives a good performance

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Who's Bad???

DBSS is keeping things fresh with the 2009 Fall/Winter footwear...I'm really feeling these kicks, especially the two-tone black/white ones, which give off an ironic "Michael Jackson Bad-era" vibe.
