scary stuff.

i know the shootings happened yesterday, but i was very busy watching the news that i didnt find, nor did i look, for the time to blog about it. im sure you already know about the shootings at riverwalk. i live right down the street from that "high class" area, according to the news. first i heard about it from my brother, didnt believe it. then i heard it from my best friend, got worried. then we drove past it on the way to the gym, woah. the entry way of the gated community was lined with cop cars and news vans. i was worried. i was even more shocked when i found out that this event actually made channel 9 news last night. it also made the news this morning, and, if you were wondering, my house was indeed on television, from a sky shot of the whole area. i just find it so weird. i mean, i know this could happen anywhere, but this is the first time something like this happened in walking distance from my house. i also find it bizarre that all of the people involved in the situation were, at some point, in law enforcement. like my late grandma betty would say "riversides goin to hell in a handbasket."

oops.

well, i just realized that i forgot to do the question of the week. its sunday. umm, oops. it was just an uber busy week. i had my ap exam on wednesday and the time just kind of slipped away after that. well, im definately going to do the next one. and you have to admit my qows are always pretty good... right? oh well.

osama bin laden is dead?

So Im out walking my dog, Lucy, listening to my music, enjoying my day. I walk into my house and my brother says "hey, look what the screen says" so I look. "OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD". I was shocked. One thing that shocked me was the fact that right under that statement was something about Mariah Carey's twins, she had a boy and a girl!! That pissed me off, but anyway, I couldnt believe my eyes. One thing that gave me chills was all the people lined up outside of the White House singing The Star Spangled Banner. It seems like this is filling America with hope, and it actually is quite inspiring. I do find it crazy how big of an impact one man can have on an entire country, though. Well, maybe this will stop all the news on the Royal Wedding, I sure hope so.

Shocking!

http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/ci_17902924

I actually saw this on Facebook. I scrolled passed it thinking it was one of those annoying virus articles. Then i read all of the comments. Well to start, this kid was charged with starting a fire, punching a female teacher in the face and trying to stab a girl. When I read that, I thought, "why would so many of my friends care about this?" Well, after reading the comments, I found out that this boy went to Villegas Middle School with many of my friends. This shocked me completely, hence the title of this blog. Anyway, yea, it kind of made me sad because a lot of my friends sounded really upset about it and despite the fact that I didnt know this boy, it makes me sad knowing someone that age would do something like that.

vent vent vent

okay. so i know i only use this thing to blog for school, and the only person following me is my teacher, but i am really mad and need to vent. so mr palo, if you havent already guessed, this has nothing to do with anything government, despite the fact that the majority of the things i post have nothing to do with that either.
okay. so the reason i missed school today was to check out the two schools i got accepted to. (niether of which are the school i wanted to attend) so im gettin ready for my day, all excited to miss school and visit some colleges. well i come to find out that today they had the every 15 minutes thing today. THE ONE IVE BEEN EXCITED FOR FOR A MONTH. i didnt know it was today, but i knew it was this month. well i was pissed, obviously, but i kept a positive outlook, ya know the whole "this is my future" thing. well visiting these schools only confused me even more! and i am really pissed that i missed that thing! everyones talking about how cool and eye opening it was. everybodys saying "oh ill never drink and drive after seeing that"... WHAT THE HELL? you thought it was okay to drink and drive before watching that simulation?? NO! ughhh...... i am sooo irritated. its like i miss anything/ everything remotely entertaining at that dang school.
and the thing that really sucks is that this isnt the only mildly interesting thing i missed this year. i also missed homecoming for volleyball. the carnival and the game. and my best friend was a queen. and oh yeah, its my senior year and that was my last one. gahh. well. this didnt help at all and only got me even more irritated, but hey, it was worth a shot. mr palo, if you actually read this whole thing, i am sorry. i guess this will prove that i actually do have emotions, i just never show them in your class. okay. well. bye.

'Sophisticated Pot- Growing'

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/04/authorities-find-pot-growing-operation-crestline-san-bernardino-county.html

There was 237 marijuana seedlings and cloned plants found in a Crestline home today. These plants were grown in a so called 'sophisticated manner,' meaning they were in a room with temperature controls and growing lamps. There was also a small amount of methamphetamine found in the same house. The one thing I found funny about this article was that it said this man was arrested on 'suspicion of cultivating marijuana and possessing methamphetamine.' I thought all of this had already been proven when they found the weed and meth in his house. Apparently thats not proof enough.
