My "wonderful" Peers

With all the music that people are listening to nowadays its no surprise the things kids are doing these days. And to think that they are kids my age doing things that are so idiotic and life ruining. Seriously I am ashamed to call them my peers!

Starting with the stupid thing that people say "YOLO" meaning you only live once, witch should mean "YO IDIOTS YOU ONLY HAVE ONE FREAKING LIFE AND YOU SHOULD LIVE IT RIGHT! FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR SELF!!!". But instead of being smart about it they turn around and act like complete idiots! Somehow this stuff translates as "Hey dudes we have one life and we should totally mess it up with smoking and drinking and spending half our life's in jail!" this is pathetic!!!

Don't even get me started with the attitude I see some of my friends giving there parents these days! I personally blame television. We see children acting selfish and spoiled and we think it's ok to do it our selfs. It's quite stupid if you were to think about it. I mean our parents clothe us care for us and shelter us for 18 years! And how do some people thank them? By talking back calling them names and acting like idiots! People should seriously be ashamed of themselves!

Oh and now I have friends saying that they NEED boyfriends!! Can you belive it a 14 year old needs a boyfriend or else she could die or something! Hahaha I laugh everytime someone tells me that!

Oh and I have friends that use there phones like its there jobs. I mean I'm trying to have a actuall conversation with someone and I'm being ignored every other word because the person I'm talking to gets a text every TWO seconds!!

Urg my generation seriously frustrates me! We act as of we are everything and know everything!!! We are only freaking kids!!!! It's so idiotic seriously I want to be part of a generation were my peers are into photography, music( and not just the things they hear on the radio), and other interesting things that will actually help you in finding a career and a job that you will ENJOY doing! Enjoy doing art progect like the one I did with my two friends in art class! Enjoy taking lots of pictures with your friends so you can remember a FUN child hood that wasn't filled with drugs and alcohol. Be excited when you get an A on a test! DO SOMETHING WITH YOU LIFE AND DON'T BE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!!

How to Survive The 'One Direction' Infection

     

                                    photo credit to: Eva Rinaldi Celebrity and Live Music Photographer
       KEY WORDS:
     Directioner- someone who loves One Direction 
     Directionator- someone who hates One Direction

          The new topic that all teenage girls are talking about is 'One Direction'. One Direction is a group of 5 boys in the age range 18-20. Four of the boys (Zayn, Liam, Harry, and Louis) are British and the odd one out (Niall) is Irish. But don't worry Niall, we still love you. Don't get me wrong. The One Direction Infection is a good thing to have but in order to have this infection you must follow 5 steps to remain your life as a Directioner.


         The first rule to survive your whole life as a Directioner is "Don't become obsessed". The proper word in this case is to be DEDICATED. One Direction doesn't agree with the word 'obsessed' so its 'dedicated'. If you're going to be a true Directioner, you have to follow this rule otherwise you're just a Directionator. One Direction is currently on tour and their fans are dedicated to see them. On the first day of ticket sales, the Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal City Walk was sold out! These Directioners are dedicated. 


      The second rule on how to remain being a Directioner is "Don't say LLN (laugh like Niall),  but say LNL (love Niall's Laugh). Niall thinks that people are making fun of him when they say "Laugh Like Niall". So why would you tease a member of your favorite band. It may not be teasing him personally but he doesn't like it. Why would you even attempt to say LLN. Yes he may not hear you say it, but it's still disrespect to him. Directioners always Directioners. 


     The third rule is " Don't make fun of any of them including their girlfriends". A lot of people, either Directioners or Directionators, still say "OH MY GOSH! LOOK AT ____'s GIRLFRIEND. SHE IS SO UGLY." Don't be jealous because he has her and not you. It's probably never gonna happen. They need to have a life too and don't criticize them because of who they date or who they hang out with because if you were in their shoes, you would still be stressed out from going across the world to sing everyday and missing out on your life at home. True Directioners are happy for the band and they don't judge. Even through the bad and the good times, Directioners are always there. No matter what. 

   The fourth rule for the One Direction Infection is "love them for who they are, not what they have." People often say " I would date Zayn because he has all the money in the world! " If you were a Directioner, you wouldn't care about "accessories" . One of their songs says, 

"You've got everything you need

                                        But you want accessories                                                                              Got to hold it in your hand                               

                                      If I changed the world for you                                                                         I bet you wouldn't have a clue                                                                  Don't you know that I can't stand                                                                                   When girls say....

                                                              I want, I want, I want,

                                                           [Louis]

                                                      But that's crazy

                                                             [All]

                                                  I want, I want, I want,

                                                           [Louis]

                                                    And that's not me

                                                            [All]

                                                  I want, I want, I want,

                                                            [Louis] 

                                                     To be loved by you "
        
    The fifth rule is to not hate but just appreciate! A lot of people always hate on One Direction because true Directioners love One Direction. When people hate on One Direction, I just feel like saying 'get a real life. And if you hate them so much, stp talking about them'. It gets on everyones nerves. Trust me. 
    
    These 5 rules should be followed if you want to be a true Directioner.
 

         

How to survive a day with my sister

One of the things that I have learned to survive and commonly go through in my life is a day with my sister.Don't get me wrong i love my sister but at some points i have to sit there and wonder ow on earth me and her are related.of course being an older sister im oing to go through some problems with my sister but if I know m going to be spending a day with her i have to make some percautions, but knwing nmy sister this is advice for everyone that I know.

Make sure your not already annoyed.
My sister is a loud person. with a personality like no other. some people like her and well some people CANT STAND HER. But if you are already annoyed don't be around her. She is a very loud person that likes to cling to people. Some times i have my friends go up to me and ask that i have my sister stop texting them. Its not her fault she is a very social person. But i think the age diffrence between her and the people that she tries to talk to is to big for them to tolerate.

Have plenty of sleep
My sister is not just loud but she is active to. if you spend a day with her you better be ready to be doing stuff all day. The child id not even restful when she watches tv she has to change the channel every five minutes. which I don't mind because tv is probably the stupidest invention in the world but she can not stop being hyper. She is active child who can get board easily so you must be prepared to change fro tag to soccer to kickball to tag agi in the matter if minutes.

Have your phone and ipod fully charged
My sister is most likely the biggest Justin bieber fan on the earth, there are days when she runs around singing his songs over and over and over again. i still pray everyday that she doesn't remember her Justin bieber cd that i smartly hid for safety precautions. When she dose have him on her mind you better have your ipod or mp3 player ready to be usedall day at full blas because it is the only wall between you and the idiotic lyrics to his song "Baby". Not only should you have you ipod chareged but have a phone to so at any moment you can pick it up and text someone so you can get 20 seconds away from her and be in youe own zone.

Have a book ready to read
My sister is a..... diffrent person that likes to be active and sometimes I cant handle it so when ever I am with her I make sure that I have a book. When ever someone had an intersting book my sister knows not to bother them. She also thinks that its pointless trying to talk to someone when they are trying to read. And honestly my sister will read anything as long as you tell her that its the best book you have ever read. when ever my sister sees someone with a book she automatically know that you have intentions on reading it. she also realizes that she should find something quiet to do instead of listening and singing Justin Bieber because it is a huge disterbance.

Last resort
Ok Im not saying you should start off with this move but always keep it open as an option. if she has been bothering you all day and you cant handle it anymore just simply reach down take off you're shoe and not her out cold. I mean if you have an annoying little girl that wont stop singing the Justin Bieber song "baby"  knocking her out with a shoe is very satisfying. I know how rude it sounds to just hit her over the head with your stinky old she but once you have been put in my position then you will definatly see the benifits of it. But seriously dont be a mean jerk and just go to to her and hit her over the head wait a while. Worn her about five times. Take off you shoe and act like you gonna do it about three times. And if she still dose it then she is still bothering then she desurves to be hit with a shoe.

My sister is a diffrent person that would be cool to talk to if she knew were her boundries were. this ios exactly how you should handle a day with her. Dont start iff with the last resort first though. Giver her a chance. and if you ever spend as day with my sister. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How To Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

How To Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

              Civilization as you know it has ended. Only few uninfected people are left. Most likely all your friends are zombies, your family is a zombie, and your dog is a zombie. You, on the other hand, have not been infected. Here are a few simple tricks to survive a zombie apocalypse.

Step 1: Stay in a confined area.

 It is important that you have a place that you know like the back of your hand. You need to know all of its exits, tunnels, rooms, and so on. That way if there happens to be a break in, you know the nearest exit. There should also a numerous amount of exits and escape routes throughout your confined area. As long as you have a way to escape, then you are somewhat safe.

Step 2: Have a maximum amount of weapons and ammo. 

 The preferred weapon for a zombie apocalypse is a firearm. If that happens to be your weapon of choice, you can never have too much ammo. You should have a gun on you at all times with at least 2 more magazine refills. You should also have weapons scatter throughout the area which you will be staying in. The weapons can be melee or lethal. The best melee weapons should be something that is lightweight, but won't break when you hit the zombie. Knives are not a good choice because you can get the zombie's blood on you and then you will be infected.

Step 3: Stock up and keep food, water, and supplies in bag. 

 The best kind of food to keep on you is rations or MRE's. MRE means Meal Ready to Eat. You should keep them in a bag, or backpack, that you will have on at all times. This backpack should be a Camelbak. Camelbak is a company that makes backpacks with water bladders for storing water. You should keep your ammo and rations in that bag so that you have everything with you. You could leave the compound anytime you want to.

Step 4: Be medically and chemically prepared.

 Being medically and chemically prepared is key to survival. First aid kits can be found at almost any store. You would want to get a first aid kit with: bandages, alcohol wipes, medical tape, scissors, needles, antibacterial cream, and head bandages. Being chemically prepared is also key. For example, say you have no more water, but you know where there is a river. You have a portable filtration system. You pump the water through the filters and now you've got clean water.

Step 5: Know how to use your weapons. 

 What good does a gun do if you have know idea how to use it. Melee weapons are self explanatory, all you have to do is raise the bat and swing. You should go to a shooting range once and a while so that you can get experience in the field of firearms. You should have at least 3 firearms: an assault rifle, a shotgun, and a sniper. The greatest ammo you could have are called hollow points. A hollow point is an explosive bullet that explodes on contact. Now you're ready for a zombie apocalypse.

How to Survive a Little Kids Birthday Party

Have you ever been to a party that is for a little kid? It can be the most boring thing ever. I can't take being at those at all. If you are wondering why it is so bad, I will explain in a few steps on How to Survive a Little Kids Birthday Party.

Don't talk to the kids
When I say don't talk to them I mean all of them. Trust me little kids say the weirdest things. Then can also talk about random things that will bore you but, you can't make them stop talking. Sitting by yourself and being alone can be one of the safest things to do at a kids birthday party.

Stay with your family
Don't wander around because you might end up getting lost or you might get trapped with the little kids. People sometimes tend to not like their siblings but, when your at a party where you don't know anybody then, your gonna talk and stay with your siblings the whole time. Trust me i do this a lot because I don't wanna get stuck talking to people that I don't know. At these party's family can be the most precious thing to you.

Stay away from the pinata
Kids are crazy! When they see the parents hanging up the pinata they go crazy because they want the candy. Kids are like little race cars when there hopped up on candy. So, when the see it fall from the pinata they rush for it and grab as much as then can. Also, sometimes people put blindfolds on the kids when their hitting the pinata and when that kid is swinging and your near him/her you might end up getting whacked rite in the face.

Act like your having fun
Parents hate to see their kids bored at a birthday party trust me. They probably hate it because there are so many activities and fun stuff to do at a party. When they look at you they  want to see a smile not a zombie  slouched in his chair. Even though  kids  party's can be boring you gotta hang in there.

If asked to play with the kids don't do it
By this I mean if a kid comes up to you and says hey you wanna come play with me respond no. The reason I say that is because your gonna get thrown around like a rag doll. Especially if they have a jumper. I have been in a situation if where when i went in a jumper I got rampaged on by a bucket load of little kids. You make think well I'm bored so, I might as well go play with them but, you're going to regret it.

Even though some people throw amazing birthday party's a kids one is the worst. So if you're ever in the position where your parents ask you if you want to go to a kid's birthday party just walk away from the question. Hopefully if you get stuck at a kid's birthday party you will find these tips useful because you're gonna need luck to survive a little kids birthday party if you mess up one of these rules.

HOW to SURVIVE being the YOUNGEST:

Oh being the youngest of 4! What a great experience... if you know how to handle it correctly. Everyone has their little secrets at being successful in any given situation, luckily mine is being the youngest. There are 5 crucial steps in surviving...BEING THE YOUNGEST!!!! I know being the youngest can suck BAD, but my steps will help you honest. You ALWAYS need to be as sweet as possible, learn the DADDY line, don't let those older siblings get to you, remember you will always be younger than them, therefore prettier, and last but not least be happy that you'll get to do All the stuff they did but FASTER!!!! Listen to me and being the youngest will be a breeze.

1. You ALWAYS need to be as sweet as possible
   




2. learn the DADDY line
   




3. don't let those older siblings get to you




4. remember you will always be younger than them, therefore prettier




5. be happy that you'll get to do All the stuff they did but FASTER!!!!
   

You ALWAYS need to be as sweet as possible:

The key to being as sweet as can be is FAKING it, I know seems crazy but its true. Well unless you actually ARE sweet which I doubt, we are all mischievous in our own ways. What we all do is act so sweet in front of our parents they could never believe that we would do anything bad, and that is exactly where we want them muahahahahaa!! So NEVER ever show your lets say dark side to your parents (it will foil our plan). Just be sweet don't talk back and well basically be the perfect child.

Learn the DADDY line:

Oh the DADDY line, a true wonder of the world. Now if your as good of an actor as I think you are we will do JUST fine with this next lesson. Now honestly I do the MOMMY line way more often than the DADDY line. So it doesn't matter exactly who you use this line with but HOW you do it that is key. So onto the actual lesson, you need to be able to get (said parent) alone away from the other, it is too much of a risk to try to do them both at the same time ( you might be caught as well). You sit them down and try to start off as sweet as possible, than do a little pleassssse and either MOMMY or DADDY than BAM you've hooked them and now just use your awesome persuasion skills that I know you have and it is all smooth sailing from here. :)


Don't let those older siblings get to you:

Older siblings are the WORST, they have no idea how horrible being the youngest is in general and than they come in all bigger and all mighty!!! So my advice and this one is short, get even (SOMETIMES) every once in a while those siblings need to learn a lesson, and who will be there to do it YOU, yup that's right. Now this isn't permission to go all sorts of CRAZY on them but yeah maybe a pie in the face or items like that, NOT anything that will danger their life or yours. Be safe with your pranks,( I am NOT liable for anything that happens, you were warned) they can be funny but not cruel, there is a fine line between those two. Hey maybe getting even isn't your style great, I commend you for that, than oh different idea, kill them with KINDNESS!!! Yeah I know you must think I am crazy but it works, the older siblings get the power because YOU let them, if they are mean to you, you be nice to them. They will be all "whaaaaaat?" yes they will get all confused because of your more superior intellect and you were smart enough to come and read my AMAZING blog so I know you have good taste. So do as I say and you will be grand. :)

Remember you will always be younger than them, therefore prettier:

Honestly this is the only TRUE benefit I see about being the youngest. When your older siblings brag about what they can do I come out with " well whatever, I will do that eventually too and I will ALWAYS be younger and therefore look prettier" and always end with a smile and walk away. Keep reminding them of this and they will shut right up aha. Short little lesson, hoped it helped you all.


Be happy that you'll get to do All the stuff they did but FASTER!!!! :

I can't necessarily explain the knowledge of this, but all I know is that its TRUE, 100 % (in most cases). I believe it's because your the last child and most parent's want to spoil you (BIG benefit) and well at least I say this: because you and I are both AWESOME! But according to your parent's you are their "baby" (ugh I hate being called that) and so you get to do ALL the stuff your siblings did but earlier! I love that fact and I felt as if you should know this, make you feel better.


Now I have taught you all I know young grasshopper and now I leave the AWESOME advice I gave you and pray you put it too good use. I have done all I can, use your talented gifts for... I WOULD say good, but bad is more fun, but you shouldn't do that either so use them for IN BETWEEN! Now off you go and so shall I, I know you'll do great. :)

Stop blaming your parents

Kids have been blaming thier parents for as long as we know. Parents are not to blame though. Yeah maybe some parents have treated there kids poorly but, in the end it's not their fault. People blame their parents for all sorts of things that you can imagine at the top of your head. Parents do nothing but, love and support you no matter what they say to you. Parents have been the scapegoat for this situation for a very long time. You people need to accept the fact that it's YOUR OWN fault that your childhood sucked. Overall, they probally tried their best to keep you happy. Go here
