Quite frankly I've had enough of uniforms. "Take the sweater off.", "Button it up." Seriously? If it's 90 degrees in the classroom and your poor school can't afford air conditioning, don't tell us to put our uniforms on. If it's 60 degrees, and we are freezing, don't tell us to take the sweaters off.

I've noticed that all the "specialized" schools in NYC don't have uniforms, while some normal schools do. Maybe it's a conspiracy, but I see it as a stereotype. We are stupid, so we must wear uniforms. Is that right? We are not smart enough to wear our own clothes? We must follow your stupid school rules just so the school rating goes up?

"Health first?" Not. If looking organized to no one but yourselves is more important than a student's health, you might as well change it to, "We are adults. You are children." Then again, the school DOES contain some 18+ students, so that is out of the picture.

Today in "muster" -- a time at the beginning of school when we all come together --  this visitor came to our school and began to blabber about black power and segregation, and about how much suffering African American have had to endure. I  feel pity for what African American have gone through, but today some have learned nothing about their ancestors heinous experiences and have decide to become attackers themselves.

Teens nowadays are starting to become sexually active at such a young age.  Some, believe it or not, at the age of 11! It angers me though to know that such young kids that should be playing with toys and stuff are starting to do adult things.  I don't know why they are doing it; is it like a game to them? Does it make them cooler to say "Oh i had sex."?  Before a kid talking about sex was never heard of.  They were never told about the consequences about it or were educated about it.  Why are our teens taking risks while their being educated? Is it because that we are being talked about sex that teens have decided to start doing it?  Should we have been told about it?

I have yet to understand some of these people who call themselves Christians. People that go to regular churches, sit there, listen to the Word, and go home reflecting on what they've heard, are so quick to judge people. One topic that comes to mind in particular is homosexuality. I know, as a Christian, that homosexuality is a sin in God's eyes, but where do people get off talking about them as if they are not human?! This highly upsets me because some of these "Christians" are so damn hypocritical. They have a LOT of nerve walking around cursing, yelling, and screaming, verbally abusing the homosexuals, then going back to church to clap and praise God for all he has done and stuff like that. To sit here and read the Bible that basically says that people shouldn't be wicked to one another, and then to physically, emotionally, and mentally hurt someone is absolutely ridiculous. I can't stand sitting around and watching these "Christians" ridicule someone for what they believe and obviously feel strong about. It urks me and makes me want to say something in the protection of the homosexual.

Let me just get some things out of the way.
1) Naruto does not belong to me. The entire Naruto franchise belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.
2) The pictures used in this post came from onemanga.com, thanks to SleepyFans, for the scans
3) that's about it, i guess....

    Okay, now that that's out of the way. Those of you out there who've been keeping up with the Naruto manga, have most likely read or at least heard about the new chapter. The basics, Naruto gets carried back to Konoha by Kakashi ^\\, where he is greeted by the entire village that shunned and hated him as a child, now cheering and praising him. Meanwhile, the most important part of the chapter (in my opinion) was the big meeting between the Daimyo of the Fire Country, his advisors (I think), the two elders of Konoha, Shikaku, an ANBU and of course, Danzo, in a the council room. Oh yeah, and the cloud nins arrive at Konoha, but they don't matter. Then there's the whole Tsunade's-in-a-coma-and-we-don't-know-when-or-if-she'll-wake-up thing.

    Anyway, the Daimyo was there to set up a budget for the rebuilding of Konoha and everyone

    Vampire novels have been popping up like crazy. In book stores there's whole sections devoted to just vampire books. But classics are good to read some times and Dracula is a great start to vampires.  One of my favorite vampire novels  is Twilight.  This is also a vampire book. There's a difference between these vampires though.  In Dracula the vampires have sharp teeth, red glowing eyes, could walk on walls, and suck human blood with the abilities to control the weather around them and transform into any shape and size. There are limitations to them to, they can't enter a house without being invited the first time, no sun light, hate holy things and can't cross running water. In Twilight they don't have sharp teeth, can have red or amber eyes, can climb up things, can suck human or animal blood, some have special abilities. Instead of being weakened in sunlight they sparkle and holy things have no effect on them. There are other things these vampires can do and are restricted to do, but the main things is that they are different.

Why is it so hard for people to understand other people? Why is it so hard for people to understand themselves? Sometimes I feel like a person doesn't care about who they are, what they do, and why. And when i feel like that, i feel like they don't pay much attention to themselves, or not as much as they should. And as for me, everyday i want to know how i feel and what i will be like for the rest of the day. It sounds crazy and understandable until you really think about it. I mean a lot of people are bullied, hurt, and some that don't fit in. Some people are not satisfied with themselves they want to be popular or pretty but what can you get by doing that?
