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).
