14. WHAT IS UP WITH GTG?

I know all you must have at least one source of messaging your friends, whether it is Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, Myspace IM, or any of the others not mentioned. Anyways, maybe this only happens to me because I am a loser, but have you ever been messaging with someone, and they say “GTG” or in another words “got to go” and you say something like, “okay, cool bye ttyl” but then after a while you notice this person never gets offline? leaving you with doubts about whether this person was really leaving or was just avoiding you. A lot of things go through my mind when this happens like maybe this person was gonna get off, but started another conversation with someone else and caused the prolonging of his leaving, because I know that has happened to me. I also start to think about how maybe this person is just a jerk and decides to not talk to me, and being the jerk that he or she is lied to me leaving me thinking he or she was going to leave, yet it never happened. This is just cruel people, so think of the person on the other side of the screen. Who knows maybe next time it will be you.
PS: Please join me so you can tell me that I am not the only loser, and that is has happened to you, and what do you think of this and what have you done about it!

13. WHAT'S UP WITH PHONES AND SENDING TEXT MESSEGES TO THE WRONG PEOPLE?

For all those phone owners out there, I have one interesting question to ask you. Has your phone ever decided to act rebellious and has made you look like a fool by sending a text to the wrong person? I know my phone always does it. I am constantly texting people and at times some texts are sent to the wrong person. This little error not only confuses me because the person replies with a what are you talking about feedback, but it also ruins the conversation I had with the meant to be person because we get off topic, or I just never sent that meant to be sent text to the correct person, not continuing our little chat. For a long time I thought I was the only person whose this happened to, but I have asked around and apparently I am not the only one. In fact I have a funny story to share, which also shows how this phone incidents can be DANGERIOUS! One day my friend and I were texting about some dude, she was telling me about what a jerk and how stupid he was. And here is where the funny thing happens, she texted me something like this “Ugh NAME is so stupid blah blah blah blah” and the thing is, this text was obviously meant for me, but guess what? YES, she sent it to the person we were talking about! This was extremely funny at the time, but it was also one of those OMG moments, she panicked, but it all worked out for she is an amazingly good liar, and told him she was just fooling around, as if she sent it on purpose. Funny huh?
PS: I would love to hear your funny stories, I am sure you have some, so join me, and comment me. Peace!

12. WHAT'S UP WITH ALL THIS RAP SONGS MAKING NO SENCE?

Now in days songs don’t really make sense at least most rap ones. They are really catchy and a lot of people like them, but they simply don’t make sense. “Walk that walk”, “Turn my swag on” Etc. these are some of the famous lyrics of famous songs. People say that music is the poetry of now in days, they say back then people used to write poems for fun, and that music is the same fun for us except, well, modern. From country songs to pop to even hard rock, songs have a story to tell, and for us to listen. Now rap songs that's a different story, some do have the greatest blow minding lyrics I've heard, but there are just some resent ones that are very, very catchy like I said before, but the lyrics just don't make sense, or maybe they do, they just don't tell those stories I'm looking for. My little brother seems to love this songs. Me personally, I like music not by the genre or the year, but by the lyrics. Now this is just my opinion, I am not saying that they should stop or anything like that, for these songs make great club songs to dance to and well like my brother there are many fans. All I wanted to say is what's u with that, no story but great hits.
PS: Here is something to think about. Have you noticed how little Wayne is always talking or always mention toilets or going to the bathroom related lyrics in his songs, I know I have, just think about it, I find it funny. Maybe it's his favorite symbolism.

11. WHAT'S UP WITH PEOPLE FAINTING AT WEDDINGS?

The other day I was once again browsing in Youtube to ease my boredom, and I found a very funny video of weddings. Apparently people seem to faint at weddings. It is very funny when the ceremony is going on and BAMM, there is that he or she falls to the floor. Most of the time it is the guys who faint or so I saw at the video. I also noticed that the main fainter seems to be the groom. This leaves me with many questions on why they faint. I have to admit that wedding ceremonies are extremely boring, so that could be a reason why they seem to faint. Also have you noticed how they don't really have food for you until everything is done, so maybe the lack of food is the reason. Or Perhaps it is as simple as the nerves, and excitement of the wedding. But then again I read the comments down below the video on Youtube and people mentioned something very interesting, they said that the burning of the candles, like the smell or something like that seemed to be a cause of the fainting. I tried browsing this on Google but had no luck, so you can try if you want to, you might have more luck than I did. Now I want to go back to the fact that the groom seems to faint a lot. And I came to the conclusion that maybe the guy's got cold feet. Maybe someone is having doubts about the HUGE decision the guy is making, and he is afraid to commit. So fellas out there my advice for the day is to be sure about your wedding, you don't want to look back at your wedding video and see how cracked your head open.

PS: Here is something to think about, maybe the guy is PRETENDING to faint!

10. WHAT'S UP WITH PEOPLE WITH MILLION PET PEEVES?

My topic for today are pet peeves. Now I do not know whether we only get to have one or be like some people and have hundreds, depending on the place you are. Every person has their own different pet peeve; some share them and are annoyed by the same things. I know lots of things annoy me, but I have only one pet peeve in particular. If I am out, it doesn’t really matter where I am at, whether I am, at a store, a restaurant, at a wedding, you name it. My one and only pet peeve has got to be children who don’t behave, I am sorry but I just can't stand them, I do love kids, specially the babies, but there has got to be discipline (cough… PARENTS…cough) I remember that when I was younger, if I dared to do a stunt on my mother she would give this pinch on my arm, it sounds a little mean and harsh, but now I see why she did it. There is nothing uglier than a little brat acting spoiled in public. But enough about me and my pet peeve, what I have to say is, what is up with people with hundreds of pet peeves, people always tell me of their main annoyance and they seem to have a bunch, so what I say, is there is nothing wrong with choosing one, one in particular u hate and detest the most, one that just grinds your gears.

09. WHAT'S UP WITH PEOPLE WHO KEEP TEXTING YOU EVENTHOUG YOU DON’T THEM TEXT BACK?

There are times when people text me, and i don't text them back either becasue I’m just not in the mood to text back, or because what they wrote is boring for me, I know I sound like a jerk, but it is true, and I bet you reading this do it as well so don’t judge. Anyways as I was saying people text me and I don’t text back and decide to ignore them, but in less than two minutes they send a few more texts, and once again they are boring so I still don’t answer. And then the impossible happens and this person decides to call me, in shock, and with the feeling of guilt of not answering the texts, I decide not to answer the call either. Who knows there is that chance of them reproaching to me on how I didn’t answer the uninteresting texts. So here is what I want to say: people if you text someone and if they don’t answer back, then fine you stop texting them, I am sure you have more friends to bother.

08. WHAT'S UP WITH MY LITTLE BROTHER TRYING TO RAP?

I might have mentioned before about my three brothers, well Jonathan my little brother always finds a way to annoy me either by making a mess in the house, borrowing my belongings, or bugging me with that soccer ball of his. But lately he has decided to be more proactive and take the annoyance to the next level. He has a weird obsession with rapping. Apparently one of his friends, I believe his name is Victor introduced Jonathan or Joni as we call him into the style of rapping. Joni is constantly writing raps, some of them rhyme, most of them don’t. I think it is a great idea for him to do that, but it gets extremely annoying when he starts singing them to me, YES, he actually SINGS them to me, they all have the same beat or sounds very close the same. Now these raps are in Spanish, and that’s weird because I don’t usually hear any raps in Spanish, they do exist and there are such singers, but they are not my thing, but apparently they are his, and Victor’s as well. I have tried to make him stop, I actually told him that rapping is a modern way to write poetry which is true, so he would stop because he doesn’t like poems, but he didn’t believe me. The irony! He even said I was jealous because he can write songs and I can’t. And that’s where he is wrong because I have actually written some good ones; I just don’t show them to everyone or sing them to annoy others. All I hope is that this is just a phace; better yet that he gets better at it, or simply for him to stop singing them to me.

07. WHAT'S UP WITH PEOPLE PRETENDING TO KNOW SONGS?

I always see people do this, sometimes even I do it! When a song comes on the radio, or you are simply listening to some song, there is always a person that says “oh I love this song!” and they start singing it, but then it gets to the point where they no longer know the song and what is there to do but start humming it, or just shake the head to the beat. Now I find it extremely hilarious when the person who is singing starts mouthing the song out, but it is better yet when they change the words, I know I do that! Then someone else then corrects me and then I’ll burst out laughing.

06. WHAT'S UP WITH IMPOLITE PEOPLE?

Everyday at school is the same story. Right after the bell rings, the students rush to their other class, and because there are so many of us the hallways are very crowded, people are everywhere! There is the pushing of each other, and sometimes, what am I talking about, ALL THE TIME there are rude people. The pushing of backpacks, I mean what is up with that? The hallways are freeways with traffic, everyone is moving slowly step by step. When it gets annoying is when the person behind you knows how everything is, and they still push you and scream to you to move. You might not believe this, but most of the time it is the girls who do this. Some people apologize, but what for they end up taking it back, yes they take their sorry back, no kidding. I remember one time when a girl accidentally stepped on another girls foot while rushing to her class, the girl obviously said sorry, but I recall the stepped on girl said something like (OUCH, yeah you better be) the rushing girl was like WHAT? And they started having discussions, so all I want to say is, PEOPLE! Be nice! What is up with being impolite, it is just not, what’ the word, oh yeah POLITE.

05. WHAT’S UP WITH HALLOWEEN?

Halloween is really exiting for me this year, one of my friends really involucrated me into it. I normally don’t do anything on Halloween, I usually just stay at home and watch a horror movie or something and later steal my brother or little cousins’ recess pieces, but this year is different. My friend and I decided not to go to homecoming, but dress up and trick or treat around her neighborhood. This is going to be a fun, scary Halloween because this is the first time I’m ever going to dress up; I’m going to be a ZOMBIE, I have the blood and everything. Also on that same Saturday we plan to go watch that movie everyone is talking about “Paranormal Activity” we want to scare the “downstairs” out of us. Anyways I just wanted to make a nice introduction to this blog, because what I really wanted to say was – what is up with people and religious costumes! Seriously! This is Halloween people, in Mexico, the day of the dead. Who would dress up as Santa Claus for Halloween? What are you going to do make him evil? When I was looking for a good costume, I could not believe there were costumes such as Santa, the Virgin Mary, and even Jesus. I mean, I guess Santa is acceptable, but JESUS? Come on people what is wrong with you guys! This is the night to dress up like witches, goblins, you know, evil beings. Vampires seem to be very famous now in days, why not dress up as one in stead. And please don’t get me started on people who dress up their pets, babies are acceptable; honestly I think they look adorable when babies are dressed up, but PETS? I personally don’t want to see a dog dressed like a banana or like a hotdog, yes people do that, it sounds sick and twisted but they do. Well I think I said everything I needed to say, I just want to wish you all the best Halloween, and lots and lots of candy so you all get sick. Oh please send me all your recess pieces.

04. WHAT IS UP WITH THE PEOPLE AND WEIRD TATOOS?

Friday night, bored in my house, messing with my best friend, YouTube. (Just kidding, YouTube is not really my best friend; I’m not that of a loser!) So there I was, first checking out some music to get rid of my dreadful boredom, and then this video attracted my eye (Well both eyes, but people never say that), there was this huge spider on this guy’s back (I was like what the) but it turned out to be a 3D tattoo. So I decided to give this video a chance, which brought the inspiration to this masterpiece (HA). Okay to my point. I CANOT BELIEVE I SHARE THIS WORLD WITH PEOPLE LIKE THAT! It scares me to think that there are really dumb and weird (STUPID!) people in this friendly (polluted) blue planet we call Earth. This is like taking something stupid, (“swimming with socks at the pool”) to the next (next, next, next!) level. It’s scary how people like that live among me. I remember when my brother Marcos (The white one, I call him the white one because out of four boys he was the only light skin) anyways when he turned eighteen, he had done a big, unique, phoenix bird, drawn with a screaming blue tint, of course mom was not happy about it, but her now tainted baby was 18. Back then I was about thirteen, so I thought it was really cool, especially because he had a meaning to it. He said that it represented not giving up and overcoming problems, like the phoenix is brought back from the ashes. I guess that is a good and inspirational reason to have something stupid like a tattoo done. Now I was nice enough to embed the videos that brought the inspiration for you to see, and I will guarantee you will agree with me (100%).

03. WHAT’S UP WITH PEOPLE NOT KNOWING MY ETHNICITY?

I would like to start this blog by saying that I am not racist, so if I accidently insult or upset someone (OOPS!) I didn’t mean to, hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. Now, straight to my point, if you look to your right you will see a dorky picture of me, there is also one in the “about me” space along with my name; from your knowledge and common sense I want you to ask your self, what is this dude’s ethnicity? For all of you who can’t tell (TIP: get an eye doctor!) I am Hispanic, a full Mexican, born in the state of Chihuahua (yes like the dog!) The only reason I am writing this is because people don’t seem to tell what’s my ethnicity. (Again there are doctors who can help!) When I was in freshman year, my speech teacher, Ms. Gluck (by the way she is now an English teacher, so congratulations) thought I was Indian for some reason. Some students from this school thought I was Asian, I mean I do have small eyes, but let’s not exaggerate! Oh and believe it or not someone thought I was black, again I do have big lips and a big nose, but trust me, unless I was adopted (which I have thought about) or son of a cosmopolitan mail man, I can tell you I am full Mexican and I do speak Spanish, eat beans most of the time, and love spicy food. So let this be a lesson to all, If I don’t have a big “charro” hat over my head or a huge mustache on top of my big lips does not eliminate me from the List of Mexicans. To end this blog I would like to say, that I do love my ethnicity because of its rich culture, but I would love to be half Asian, or Black, or from any other place in the world because we are all the same no matter what (who’s with me?) (PS: I am really not racist, please don’t hate me).

02. WHAT’S UP WITH SOCKS AT THE POOL?

I have this friend, and she told me the craziest story, if I told you, you would not believe me. Trust me, I couldn’t get it pass my mind how people can go swimming with socks on. Did I mention they were made of cotton? Okay here is what she told me, during our summer vacation when she went out for a swim with some other friends, (by the way she didn’t invite me) she saw like three guys swimming with their socks on (I KNOW!) And that it was an occurrence that happened more than one time. When I heard this, I thought she was messing with me, but no, she was actually serious. She saw three guys get inside a pool and swim with their socks on. Now I don’t know if they had ugly feet and were embarrassed by it, or if they it’s simply some new trend we are supposed to do now in days. If it is, then I never received that memo.

01. WHAT’S UP WITH TEACHERS?

Most teachers stay after school. I wonder why. Of course they stay to help out their students, but don’t they have a life? Don’t take this the wrong way, I admire the teachers that stay for their student. In fact, I’m one of those students who need help once in a while. Okay, I know that teachers stay a couple of hours after students are released, but when it is finally their time to go home, what do teachers do? I mean, do they have “homework” and just go home and grade papers, prolonging their job? Do they head straight to the refrigerator like I do? And if they do, what do they eat? What activities do they do? I wonder if they have time to watch television, do they watch The Simpsons, Family Guy, or do they just watch The News? What if they have a MySpace and commented one another. Would they gossip about their students like we do about them? Talking about how brilliant some of us are, or speaking of how dumb and slow we are, mocking our hair, maybe our nose, or the way we dress. Some teachers are really cool and really involucrate their selves in the classroom, while others are very strict and demanding (I’ve had them all). Since they are like that at school, I imagine if they would be like that at home as well. I think someday I will make it my mission to find a conclusion to all my questions and end this quest once and for all, who knows, maybe I'll have to become a teacher to find out.
