You’re Getting Ripped Off!!

Hey this is Matt McEachern and I am guest hosting on Alex and Eric’s blog.

PEOPLE!!! Wake up! Don’t you realize what the Apple Corporation is doing to you? If you want an Ipod, what do you do? You ask your parents (many of you rich kids getting it), and if they don’t give you the money you have to save up for it (some people actually have to work for things). Once you get enough money, you buy the Ipod only to find that they come out with a new Ipod the next week or month! If these new Ipods were different at all that would be okay, but they have one or two very minor changes but those changes are enough to make people consider your Ipod “out of date.” I personally have a second generation Ipod and it works fine, but many of my friends call it a “brick.” I couldn’t care less but many people do. If your Ipod plays songs and works, WHO CARES!! You don’t need the new 60 gig Ipod that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to fill up completely. Not only do they rip you off, they know that you are going to try to get the new ones and what does that turn into, AN ENDLESS CYCLE!! Don’t you realize what is going on? We all want what we cannot have or at least something better. Why can’t people just be satisfied with what they have so that the rest of us don’t have to listen to those who complain when things aren’t handed to them. If you don’t get something, GET OVER IT!!! You can do what the rest of us do, WORK for it!

HEY ERIC!

SHUT UP! (Nah, I’m just kidding, but that argument in your last post sucked.  I understand where you’re coming from and we do have to help people in need, but it just wasn’t right.  You’re still cool though) (By the way, don’t reply to this)

Stress and Emo are two different things?

What Alex wrote was amazing, but I do disagree that stress can cause kids to turn Emo. I believe some people are Emo not through stress but mostly depression, some of them were traumatize or even hurt by others since most of them can’t turn to anyone for help, they did the next best thing hurting themselves because they think they aren’t good enough. Instead of disliking them we should try to help them, If they enjoy being Emo bless their soul. Although stress can cause pressure, and that leads to depression. Just remember to help those who needs help. This is Eric hoping you have a wonderful day.

Stress…It’s your Choice

The other day as I was walking to class, I saw Eric laying on the grass. I was wondering why he was doing that seeing as how the grass had just been watered, but that’s not the point. All of a sudden, I see an acorn (I’m pretty sure it was an acorn) fall on his head. I was wondering what he was thinking of and I remembered last year, how Eric used to talk about a kid who sat next to him in one of his classes. He said this kid would dress in the weirdest way and all he ever had on his mind was death. I’ve always wondered why these kids would think in those sort of ways, why they become angry and socially inept or the even bigger question, why they become Emo. I believe I came to a pretty reasonable conclusion. I think it’s because those kids are STUPID and IDIOTIC. They have nothing better to do in their lives than to think about death, hate and anger. Sure, some people may say it’s stress and that they have too much to do. Well thats one of the most retarded arguments I have ever heard! I am a very stressful person. I become so stressed over the dumbest things, but what I DON’T do is let that stress turn into hate or anger that slowly builds up over time until one day I go crazy and kill myself or blow up the school. It may be harder for some people to manage stress in their lives, but it’s YOUR CHOICE to take that stress and turn it into something negative. This is what I don’t understand about Emo kids. Most of them have completely normal lives with family’s that love them, yet they are the one’s that go around cutting themselves and being depressed because they think their lives are horrible. What I’ve noticed is that the majority of the people who lead the horrible and crappy lives are the people that learn to appreciate the good and beautiful in the world. Stress is something that we as humans need, but when we take it too far it can ruin our lives. This is Alex Barbarian, hoping you see the good in the world.

Stress……can lead to death!

I was laying on the grass waiting for class to start, when something hit me. It turns out it was an acorn (I think it was an acorn.) All of a sudden I had this flashback, I remembered this kid my freshman year, he always looked like he was dead. I don’t usually make fun of peoples appearance, but this kid just took the cake. He would dress in the strangest way and his pupils were shaped like a tigers eye. He would wear this appalling shirt, and all he could think of was death. I decided to talk to him one day and all he would talk about was that abortions should be more dreadful, after the conversation, I just went to class. Well after my amazing flashback, I thought to myself why are people become mad? Or the bigger question, why do some people become Emo? I don’t understand why some people want to shun the world and be alone? I lay there on the grass trying to think of an answer to these questions, and the answer I came up with is STRESS. I think to cure stress, we just have to enjoy life although it is easier said than done, but its possible and being alone is never a good thing, NO ONE LIKES BEING ALONE and thats a fact. Sure you want some alone time to think, but thats different. Don’t let these little things bring you down, for example lets say you got a 90% on your honors calculus test and started crying and having an emotional breakdown because you were 10% away from a perfect test. Stress is a hard thing to deal with but it’s nothing to go crazy over. Although being Emo does not always derive from stress, it can be a huge contributing factor. In the end stay happy, this is Eric hoping you have a wonderful day.

Life of the ordinary.

The bell rang, it was time to go home. When I got out of class I decided to go to my English teacher for some missing work. As I was going to my classroom, I saw my friend Erica just standing there alone and depressed, I asked her what happened and she told me she was mad at the fact she sees every other students kissing and hugging. I figured out she was depressed because she didn’t have a boyfriend. Well I don’t know much about love, but I think its nice to have a relationship, although if your single you can’t let these little things bother you. Sooner or later when the right time comes you will a chance to shine (well i don’t know if I’m the right guy to say that, but I’m trying to stay positive.) This is Eric hoping you have a wonderful day.

A Little Bit of Happiness

I know I usually talk about things in school that get me angry and stuff that pisses me off, but here is a little bit of happy news from me. As usual, no one in my class was paying attention. They were all just talking to each other and screwing around. Near the end of class, as the teacher was talking about the homework, her husband (who is also a teacher at my school) comes in the class bringing their little children. The moment he brought the children into class, everyone who was talking immediately shut up. As I looked around I saw everyone smiling as they were looking at the children. I have yet to see anything like this happen at the time I have been at Edison High School. Like I said, it’s really not my department for these kind of stories, but this was one incident that I just had to tell. Until next time, this is Alex Barbarian, hoping you have a good day.

Teenagers and Parents… gasp!

My mom drops me off at school every morning, and today I had this odd feeling. I know of course that my mom loves me, even though we don’t always agree with each other. Then later in the the day I noticed notice that many teens don’t really appreciate their parents or wont even listen to them. I’m curious as to why we teenagers do that? It was told to us since we were young that we should always listen to our parents, but when as we grow so does our brain, and our brain tells us that our parents are wrong.  I can’t really answer why we do this to our parents, but we must keep in mind that it’s probably their first time raising a teenager, and most parents really make up things as they go along. They use their common sense, previous knowledge, and right from wrong ideas to keep us safe, healthy and happy, I’m not saying I am the perfect child either, but we should just learn to forgive them and appreciate them for the things they do. This is Eric, have a wonderful day

How Can You Fail P.E.!?

I believe many people will disagree with me on this, but I find it impossible for anyone to fail P.E. (Physical Education.)  Yet somehow people manage to get super F’s.  I just don’t understand how.  You barely have to do anything at all!  If you just show with everything in order, the lowest grade you can get is a C.  It’s actually harder to get an F in that class than it is to get a B or an A.  If you even remotely try, you’ll get a B in the class, but for some reason people get F’s.  The sad part is is that they get raging mad at the teacher asking why they got an F in the class.  I don’t why you got an F, maybe it was because you didn’t show up to class half the time. You don’t have to be athletic to get a good grade in P.E. All the teacher wants you to do is to be there and pretend like you’re doing something.  How do kids get an F in P.E.? Well I think there are just some things in this world that man was not meant to find out.  Until next time, this is Alex Barbarian, hoping you show up for P.E.

Chocolate, the candy of love…..or is it?

Hi, my name is Eric, on my trip to Arizona it was freezing, one of my friends saw me shivering from the bitter cold and offered me a piece of chocolate, she said it would keep me warm for a short time. When I got back home from the trip I wondered if chocolate is really the candy of love? Some people say chocolate is the candy of love, and I wanted to know if it does truly represent love in some sort. My curiosity got the best of me, soon after I went out and gave chocolate to my friends (girls of course.) All of a sudden they felt comfortable and safe. I simply asked if they wanted a piece of chocolate. They replied without hesitation. After my little experiment with chocolate, I got curious again and ate many flavors of chocolate, in result, they were all delicious. I favored the strawberry dipped in chocolate cream, I also liked the truffles and Bon Bons (French chocolate), but I digress. It is not only I that like chocolate, most of the world favors it also, France, being a big chocolate carrying country has Nutella, Bon Bons, chocolate logs, and chocolate cake. Not only is chocolate a great comfort food for stress and emotional breakdown. It can be a great break up gift, for the guys that are sweet and heart crushing all at the same time or it can be a great romance dessert. I’m still pondering if chocolate is this the candy of love though? I’ve heard from a friend there is a chemical in chocolate that gives a sense of pleasure throughout your body, I guess that is why many people like chocolate. Also, stressed spell backwards is desserts so I guess that is one of the many reason why people are into chocolate. In the end I guess chocolate itself has a lot of meaning to it. It has been around in history for thousands of years and it will always be a mystery as to why people are so addicted to it. Always remember to share your chocolate.

Thanks for reading this post , this is Eric hoping you have a wonderful day.
