Make your own title

This past Thursday our Ap Language class took an unforgettable trip down to my personal favorite hang out place at lunch... Our school library!! :] But this was no ordinary trip. Nope! We were given a test on abcnews.com to discover our political matches- where we fall on the political line. Are we liberal? Conservative? or possibly just the monkey in the middle?
As teenagers, (not discriminating against my own age group or anything) we tend to be ignorant towards what is going on in the world today. Especially now, this up and coming election is extremely important. No matter what happens it's going to be iconic.. its going to make history. And whether it turns out our next president is McCain or Obama...how much more controversial can you get?
But more towards my wonderful day at the library.. We were given a 10 or 12 [i forget] question quiz on a variety of areas including Foreign Policy (should the US have invaded Iraq?), the Economy, Society (gay marriage?), Healthcare (universal?), and of course the political process.
I never thought a 10 question quiz would stimulate my mind as much as it did. But it was then that I realized something about myself.. I am completely lacking knowledge about our world today. Though it so important to be informed so that we and I can develop our own views on controversial issues.. but more than that...so that we may know, period.
But I'm glad that I did take this short and sweet quiz. The funny this is I didn't get McCain or Obama as one of my top candidates. Good, lets keep it that way. But I did get Hillary Clinton as my top 2 candidate! Yet speaking of the two left standing, I'm so sick of kids and teenagers and even adults who have a vote in mind-but for all the wrong reasons.
If you know nothing about this person..about their views on the economy, on healthcare, on abortion, on gay marriage.. Then DONT vote out of absent minded foolishness. "He's old and cute.. McCain!" "Hes the first African American that could be President..Obama!" Its so ridiculous. I've experienced this first hand as kids in my class yelled obnoxiously "Obama! Yeah, he's tight. Vote for him. Ey girl did you vote for him?" "Shut up, I did. I ain't stupid"
Ugh. It makes me sick to my stomach. Don't make this a trend. Don't make voting for Obama "cool". Same goes for McCain. If you honestly believe in this person, then go right ahead and vote as you wish, I respect that.
But if you vote and have no knowledge behind that. Then don't even waste driving to the polls, submitting your vote, and allowing a person to win when you had no idea of their intentions. Plus, your making people like me (who is going to work the poll booths on election day) have more hard, and tedious work to do.
Lovedub..out. ha!

i'm

so tired.. so burned out.. missing people

A mac obsession

Over the past three years or so there has been a widespread obsession with one of the most widely appreciated, technological, and just the down right good stuff..apple[s], and in my case, I-macs. From ipods, to nanos , to touch screen phones to.. what?! paper thin Laptops? Yes its true, they are inescapable and have spread across America like a virus as strong as the black death. Dangerous yet forever clinging.
Anyway I'm writing this as in this very moment I am on a most beautiful Imac. Not technically mine, I should mention, but it might as well be. I'm in Media Class right now and as a perk all the students recieve their own personal mac, that we can personalize and make our own desktops and screensavers!! oohh, so exiting :] Let me say that I am no pro on these smart computers, but I use the limited knowledge that I do posses, and I enjoy it. Whatever, all in all this is pointless. But this is my ode to Macs. I love you!
Oh also, this is my first time having a blog since the 7th grade "XanGa'S". I felt that I should start one since some days in Media we are done with projects and I am left with nothing to do, but aside from that I love reading others' blogs, so why not start my own? Though it will most definitely not be as interesting.

Anyway, I'm a newbie, so forgive me for my boringness. Hopefully my life will get better , then I will have amazing things to write about. But as for now, Enjoy living life loveadubbin. Peace
