(Insert Title Here)

This is the part when I start complaining about how crappy my life is, and how terrible things are for me.

This is the part when I talk about how another girl has played me for the fool.

This is the part when I start questioning the purpose of my life.

This is the part when I say "What's the point any more?"

This is the part when I start talking about how depressed I am.

This is the part when I complain about my teenage angst, the thing that infects countless others on this planet.

This is the part when I start asking "why is this happening to me?"

This is the part when I start begging for the reader's sympathy.

This is the part when I continue to talk about how depressed I am.

This is the part when I quote someone because I'm not smart enough to come up with original material.

This is the part when I start venting out all of my frustration because I have no other place to vent this very second.

This is the part when I say "I'm so sick of everyone's drama."

This is the part when I drown my sorrows in the lyrics of a song because I'm not clever enough to comprehend my own feelings, so I lean upon a song because of my emotional problems

This is the part when I start complaining about my pointless emotional problems...

It's amazing really, how the outcome of a single event can leave you on either an emotional high, or an emotional low. I'll let you guess on which one I'm on. These emotions cannot be trusted. Non of them do me any good. I feel I should be exempt from dealing with all the dumb stuff that every other human being on this planet has to go through, because I have the logical reasoning to break everything down into cause and effect, and other psychological reasoning. Too bad I'm trapped in the same dimension as the other 6.7 billion people on this doomed planet.
I thought I could change the rules and still thrive.
In order to succeed on this earth, you must abide by its rules.
I can't do anything without the all mighty dollar.
I can't get the all mighty dollar without the help of the evils of advertisement.
And then what? I become what I am trying to fight against. Corporate America. There is nothing worse.

How can I disrupt the established order without causing physical harm to anyone, and without long-term negative consequences? In short, how can I break the rules?

This is the part when I say something clever, and then stop typing

Rules of the Road.

Just to let you know, this post is not really about the rules of the road, or about roads at all. It's not really about rules either, but whatever...

-I update whenever I feel like it, so don't wake up early on the 3rd Wednesday of the month and say "OOH! That Alex kid wrote a NEW BLOG!" Because I probably didn't.
-Every time, in previous posts, when I said things like "I'll tell you later" and "I'll put that in another post," I was Lying! I vary rarely update things from previous posts on new posts, nor do I start up a subject that I already talked about (Rule subject to change under my discretion)
-From now on, I shall update previous posts on the post itself, that way you suckers gotta go back nd read em again to see if I changed anything. I already changed two of them, but I wont tell you which one of theM I changed.

-I don't know any good blogs to follow, so if anyone wants to send me a link (excluding the ones I already follow)

New Email

So I changed my email address, because it was not sophisticated enough for someone who is now a legal adult. And now I am well on my way of being a complete and utter computer nerd. I now have a Google Wave account, two emails, one Gmail, and the other AIM mail, a facebook, twitter, AIM, Skype, myspace, youtube, evernote, a blog, and probably more.
Thank goodness we have all of these technologies to make our lives easier. Too bad we have to remember all of the different login information for eevverryy one of them. And if we keep the same password, it just takes one person with luck at stroking the keys, and they're in to EVERYTHING.

People put their whole lives on the computer. It's the 21st century. It's expected. Who actually keeps a journal any more? That's why we have these lovely blogs! No one wants to keep their thoughts to themselves any more! They have to update their status, and tweet it and blog about it with their friends, or perfect strangers! We NEED to know what someone thinks about the fact that we just got home from school! We NEED to know who "Likes" the fact that we just made a ham sandwich. I swear, it's impossible to try to keep things to yourself these days. Once you hit send, or save, or publish, it's out there. You might as well post it on the TV's in Time Square, because if someone wants to get into your stuff, they can. Easy.

Isn't that why we have all of this security for our information? Isn't that why we have to do those stupid CAPTCHA things every time we reload our page? No.It's not. You're stupid. Go away.

The internet...

A great invention, one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind. Right there next to the wheel and religious crusades. the only problem is that people are too addicted to it. I myself should be studying for a calculus test I have tomorrow, but instead I'm writing a dang blog!
And, of course, there's all the idiots on here.
Stupid people...
I could go on for DAYS about stupid people
I will one post...
But not today.
What was I talking about again?
Oh yeah! The internet!
I also hate how the government has yet to fully embrace the internet.
And by the government, I mean schools,
And by schools, I mean MY school.
Every day I have to work as if I'm living in the 70's, and the fastest computers fit into single rooms and couldn't out-compute my cellphone.
The tediousness of highschool...
Guh...
FOCUS
INTERNET
Infinite information at will of my command, or in the case of ME and my NEW iPHONE, infinite information in the palm of my hand.
My iPhone...
Wow...
It is the KING of all smartphones. All of you Blackberry people, or you Droid people, will never win out against the all-mighty iPhone. It is just too amazing.
It is the GOD of all phones.
If God was real, he'd have an iPhone...
Oops. did I just say that??

Reason and Emotion

I have realized that there are two main categories to divide everything that someone does, thinks, or says. The categories are "Logic" and "Emotion."
Everyone tries to think logically, instead of senseless.

It's the logical thinkers who built Rome, created the internet, and put man on the moon.
It's the emotional thinkers who had sex and gave birth to those logical ones.

It's a never ending battle between logic and emotion.

Logic lets you survive, but Emotion lets you live.

No one can ever live and be completely logical. That person is a robot
But no one can ever survive and be completely emotional. That person would probably run into traffic.

An educated person has logically concluded that to optimize their life to the fullest extents, they must only think logically in every situation, 100%. They're too smart for their own good...

This, however, will not allow the person to be happy. Yes, happy. An emotion. How can a logical person allow emotion to infect their plan for a logical life? Simple. We are not robots. We are human. Regardless to how much the logical thinkers hate hearing it, we are still human beings. We are incapable of programming ourselves to be completely efficient. We are still infected by the same emotions that an average twelve-year-old girl has. Although the logical thinkers are capable of suppressing some of the more unnecessary emotions, like rage, gluttony, jealousy, sadness, ect.

But sooner or later, the logical thinker will come across a situation that would make a computer start to buzz and screech "ERROR," something that just doesn't fit in a nice pattern of Zeros and Ones.
The rational thinker.. comes across Love. Maybe not love as in true love, maybe just lust, or 'liking someone' or whatever. If the logical thinker comes across such a situation, they are stumped. They have no files in their databanks to handle this new influx of raw data.
Then, suddenly, the heart, or 'emotion' jumps in to try to handle the situation.
The logical thinker can either allow this, or continue to try and maintain situation logically.
It is impossible to attempt to keep a logical mind in an emotional situation such as this.

The brick wall of reason is not the logical reaction to the open arms of love.
The emotional part of the brain continues to try to take over the situation. It knows what to do, and how to steer the person in the right direction. Continuing to ignore the emotional thoughts may lead to confusion on what to do next, or a belief that the 'emotional' thoughts being had are 'bad.'
The unfortunate result to the Rational thinker...

But then, simple. We think logically, and then whenever we get confused, we get emotional, right?
No. That's the philosophy of a Sixth-Grader.
One must create a balance of logic and emotion to be truly happy. They must always keep their emotions in check, but not completely caged up. Emotions are useful from time to time. Shocking. And thinking with pure logic only leads down bad roads. Have you ever seen the movie iRobot? Yeah, that's what'll happen.
Vicki the Robo-brain: "My Logic is undeniable."
Will Smith: "You have so got to die."

I know first hand what it's like dealing with both kinds of people, one of my parents is a logical thinker, and one of my parents is an emotional thinker. The logical one usually gets his way, since he evokes reason in the argument that she cannot deny. This works most of the time. Then, other times, all she has to do is delve into her emotional thought processor and make her emotions apparent, and she will get her way easily. The logical thing is to let the emotional one have what she wants, to lower the risk of further emotional trauma.
Sometimes, he, the emotional thinker, doesn't budge so easily, resulting in, what we'd like to call, a fight.*
*I may or may not have swapped him/her to keep the true identity of the parents hidden.

There are serious problems that people have when they can't properly balance their feelings with their logic. Various things can occur. The person may go into s temper tantrum, the person may go into the "I don't know" phase, where the battle of logic and emotion reaches its peak. People generally enter this phase when they are thinking about Love, and the things surrounding Love. People attempt to put logic into Love, the one place that logic does not belong.
A man hops on a plane to go hundreds, if not thousands of miles to visit his ill mother. There is no calculated logic in the reasoning of these actions. The actions are based on Love.
You know that phrase "the heart wants what it wants"? Well that's translated into "My emotional processors have overridden the logical ones and have now exclaimed that they desire something that logically makes little to no sense." Roles off the tongue, yes?
The important thing to note is that if you reach a phase of continually repeating "I don't know" about something having to do with a boy or a girl or a man or a woman or whatever, the 'logical' thing to do, is to divert the logic receptors in your processor, and allow the emotion program to start controlling the situation.

THE Æ has SPOKEN!

Alex Goes to Ohio; Writes a blog about it.

Part One: Friday
My dad got us tickets to the OSU-Minnesota game a month ago, and this weekend, we flew up to Ohio. Before we hopped onto the plane, I went to the crappy convenient-store type place at the airport where the gates are, after you go through security. My DSi is dead and my iPod is at home, so I figure why not find the book I really want to read, Jane Austen and Seth IDRC's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Unfortunately, this crapshack excuse for a bookstore did not have the book, it did however have Glenn Beck's new piece of kindling. Instead, I select a book that I saw an aquaintance read, and enjoy, about a year prior. I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, by Tucker Max. I start reading it on the plane, and immediately realize the graphic nature of this literature. It is, in short, about a guy telling stories of his life of being an alcoholic man-whore. It is rather entertaining, although I refuse to allow my father to even look at the book, because I knew he'd start lecturing me about it being vile filth.

We land in Ohio, meet my grandparents, have dinner, and go to their house. They live in one of the smallest towns I have ever seen. It has one single stop light, and a McDonalds. That's.About.It.

Part Two: Game Day (Saturday)
Now, I have never lived in Ohio for more than like two weeks, and that's only because I was on an extended vacation, because my life is oh so hard. My father, however, has successfully brainwashed me, since birth, to like, and support Ohio State over any other team. And when I go into full on support mode, it means red. and lots of it. I have collected a full on costume of Ohio State clothing and accessories ranging from Ohio State underwear, to a wrist band that says 'Beat Michigan,' to Ohio State socks that go up to my mid-shin, to an Ohio State blanket that I use as a cape. I, of course, wear all of these things along with everything else Ohio State except for my Jeans. My favorite part of the outfit is the socks that I wear with my Ohio State flip flops. Sounds like a good idea, sort of, but add in the 49 degree weather with a wind chill of the last layer of Hell, and you get some problems...
We arrive in Columbus and find parking in some company's parking lot with a man in front collecting money to let us park. Not uncommon on game day. However, this man appeared as if his last warm meal was in a soup kitchen and that his favorite sport is to sit on a corner with a paper cup filled with nickles! (For those of you who don't understand what I'm saying, he appears to be a bum)
We give him the fifteen, yes FIFTEEN dollars to park there, and he gives us a ticket that could have been bought at a staples no less than a day ago. I smelled a scam, which, if it was, I would have applauded the man for such a successful plot to get money, and would have gladly bought him a hot dog, or some shampoo...

I look around as we walk, seeing everybody wearing their OSU clothing. Generally when i wear the full outfit, I feel rather out of place, especially when you live in (State far form Ohio) when everybody supports (Football team that Ohio State lost to a few years ago) However, even though I'm redder than an apple, feel at home. Although I am the only one at the game wearing flip-flops. Force of habit I guess...
We walk to the Horse Shoe (The Ohio State football Stadium) and take our seats. This, however, was quite difficult since we were ion the C deck in the nose bleeds and there was a line for the elevator filled with old people. The game begins..There is a Sea of Scarlet and Gray..The kickoff..ooooooooOOOOOOOO O-H-I-O!!

The first half is a bit of a drag, but when that second half came, Tressel turned them all into a higher gear, because they just creamed em! The final score was 38-7. It would have been a shut out, but the Golden Gophers manage to make a touchdown late in the fourth. We watch the band do script Ohio, and walk back to the car. We get to stop by a book store so I can buy my own copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. We get back to the car, and go back to my grandparents' house. My sister(3) and her boyfriend Brett have driven up here from Virginia, or wherever they live. Brett separated his shoulder playing touch football with a team that's filled bunch of girls. He is thus renamed Brettany. (Clever, no?)

We eat dinner, and play some Blokus. (For those of you who don't know what Blokus is, figure it out.) After slaughtering everyone, we all head in, and I keep reading my book. It makes me want to become a cocky a**hole, but then I realize...I'm already a cocky a**hole... oh well...

Part three: Alex gets hit in the face with a football; hilarity ensues.

I get home, go out to eat with my parents, aunt, and uncle. I take S with me to Frizbee. I want to date her but I'm stuck in the friend zone...typical...
We're playing football, i'm on defense guarding a guy, i know the ball is getting thrown to him, i put my hands in front of his, and BAM! ball hits me right on the right side of my eye. It sucks but I'm not a pansy. I get laughed at for the rest of the game, and the rest of the time there. Idc.

I'm done with this blog

Snot nose

I've been needing to update this, so I am, (obviously)

Well. I've got a cold. So that sucks. I also broke up with the french girl. Reason? She was just...annoying. My mother says I'm heartless. She, however, has forgotten that I am nearly , and can run my own love life. She has decided to turn all my sisters and my cousin against me and have them call me a terrible person.

But anyway... So now I'm 'single'
I'll give you more info on a later post.

Right now I'm watching Lady Gaga on SNL singing Poker Face via piano. She's a weird little transvestite, isn't she?

I should be doing my online classes right now...too bad I'm really lazy...
I apologize for the lack of a good story for this post. My illness has killed my memory glands.

OoH! I remember what I did today!
I want to a swim meet!
That's right, I'm on the swim team at my school. I'm only good at the 50 freestyle. Sometimes the 100 freestyle...
But I AM the fastest 50 freestyler on the team. My fastest time being 24.13 seconds. Hopefully I will beat that in a few weeks. I'll let ya know. Btw, we won the meet.

What else is happening? Oh! I visited MLA, well, she visited me at the swim meet. Then we walked around town for a while... I'll finish the story later...

I named this "Snot nose" because that's what I have right now. TMA, right?

Update on BFT: So i talked it out with P and it's cool now with us 2. Always a good thing.

Also, sometimes I go through my old posts and change them a little bit, so you aren't going crazy.
