SHOES!

I have noticed that there has been an increase in the shoe population of my closet floor. I am running out of room. Now, if a guy were to read this he would think I was insane because he most likely has plently of room on his closet floor. On the other hand, if a girl were to read this, she would most likely be nodding in agreement. (I know you are, aren't you girls. I can see you, stop it.) Shoes are one of the largest barriers between boys and girls. Meaning, girls really like them and have fifty pair, and boys where two of them on their feet. I know that anyone who is reading this is nodding in agreement, becauseI am. Why? Why do girls crave to have another pair? Well, I'll tell you. They're cute. No, seriously, it's the only reason we like them. They're cute. Females take much pleasure in finding that perfect pair of shoes to go with that perfect skirt that matches that new purse they just bought, oohh. If guys were to say that his shoes match his new purse, I would be a little disturbed. Another question you "men" might have that I would like to address is, "Why do they have so many?" Shoes are stylin', but not only that, they are fun to go and buy. Girls don't NEED to go buy shoes every week, but we WANT to. A girl finds joy and serenity in buying new shoes. It is important to them. It makes them happy. And when the girl is happy the guy is happy. So, now that you boys know the secret of shoes and girls, what are you going to do? I know what I am going to do, go SHOE SHOPPING!

"Americans" the Beautiful

America: A nation of pride and patriotism. We live in a land of freedom and democracy. We are the idol nation. We are top notch. And yet, we are very disliked. In this world we livein today, Americans are looked upon as the snobby, war-causing, obese country. But, to most Americans were are supreme and mighty. Why are some countries so against our beautiful land? Americans have offered so much to the world for which we are not acknowledged. For instance, we were right there in WWII, sending in supplies and troops. The Berlin Airlift was a great success because American pilots were flying in food and supplies. After WWII, soldiers were sent to Vietnam to help them with there difficulties, and they weren't even acknowledged. Now, our soldiers are risking their lives in Iraq, fighting against terrorism. I think the rest of the world has been oblivious to the great efforts America has pu forth. Another great thing about America is its advanced technology. U.S. scientists are searching for cures for diseases and researching for ways to improve the enviroment. The light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison, an American, Bill Gates invented Microsoft and he is an American. Even though Microsoft has little importance in smaller countries, it has made communicating and researching so much easier. And, it has a future in those smaller countries with the rate at which it is expounding. Americans may seem like snobby, unkind, obese people, but the amount of help it has offered the world is incredible.

Communication Between Males and Females

Just in case anyone missed highschool guys and girls are different. Not only do they look different, but they act and communicate differently. (Note: the title) In my very short highschool career, I have noticed that most highschool education can be learned from interaction with the opposite sex. Dating. In this particular blog, I would like to analyze, not the dating aspect, but the stuff that goes on before hand. Let's pretend we're in make believe land again like kindergarten. We are pretending that a certain girl likes a certain boy. How does she let him know without it being too obvious? Alright girls, what do you do?? What is your first move? Here's a hint: guys have short attention spans. If the girl is always talking about her and her problems, the guy will not want to listen. So, ladies, talk about the guy. Ask him QUESTIONS about his life. A boy will communicate with a girl, if the girl is making conversation that he can relate to. Now we are going to switch perspectives. A guy wants to ask a certain girl on a date. Fellas, don't scare her!!!! I know of many situations where the guy liked the girl so much that he was always near her and always following her and always trying to talk to her. The guy that does that will only scare her away! The right thing to do would be to say hi, have a polite conversation once a day, and make her want more. But, don't be too aloof. The relationship between males and females can be blocked by bad communication. Don't act like fools!!! And of course, just be you!

"but I still love technology"

Computer: is it man's greatest or worst invention? Most of the time computers are fantastic! They are a huge success in the technological world and are improving everyday! BUT recently in my life there have been many unfortunate experiences with this masterpiece of software. The problem was that technology decided not to work with me that day. The angry forces of computer chips were against me. My printer decided not to print and my internet decided not to work. How many times has this happened to any of us? I'm sure that there have been plently experiences where the computer wouldn't print a paper or not access an interet site. So, is technology really that lovable? The good thing about technology is the amont of work it does in a matter of minutes, that would have taken us perhaps hours to accomplish. With Microsoft Word alone, it is easy to type and edit papers that could take a long time with a quil and piece of parchment (not to mention the sore wrist afterward). Plus, the internet has provided a new world that our grandparents never dreamed was possible. We have the abilty to access almost ANY information we want with the click of a mouse. School work suddenly becomes easier, communication is faster (i.e. e-mail), and it's all right in front of our faces. So, is technology a friend or enemy? I guess that depends on the day.
