OK, this note's for the girls tonight.

What makes a guy try to win a girl who is already taken? Here we have the guy who's nickname could be "desperado." He finds a girl who is perfect in every single way imaginable...but she likes someone else. Desperado talks to the knight in shining armour(guy the girl likes) and gets a slight idea of how shiny the knight's armour really is. He then thinks "Ok, if I show her how shiny my armour is, maybe she'll choose me over him." This is followed by Desperado doing everything and anything imaginable to get the gal's attention. There are two choices at this point, girls: a) ignore it or b) acknowledge it but say it still doesn't change your mind. Choice A is sometimes the easier route to go. Eventually the guy will get tired and just go to another girl. Sometimes, however, the guy just tries even harder which means you should go on to Choice B. Say "Ok, that's cool, but it still doesn't change my mind. I would love to have you as a friend, but this is just going to far. I've told you countless times that it isn't working, but you refuse to listen. If you continue this, there will be consequences." This sounds harsh, yes, but sometimes, this is the only way to get through to the guy. Then, if worse comes to worst, just tell the guy that this is making him even less attractive. Again, sounds harsh, but, in the end, when he looks back, he will most likely thank you for being the girl to give him a good smack in the right direction.


Author's Note: If you do try this and it doesn't work, DO NOT SUE ME! These are my own thoughts and opinions, not a definite plan to get rid of the annoying guy in your life.

How, when, where, and why?

OK ok ok...all I can say is I have been butt lazy. I had plenty of chances to post, and I never did. My apologies. Moving on....

Music has been keeping me on my toes. I am trying to overcome the "mountain" of expression. When it comes to expressing my music, I feel like I'm in my birthday suit. Not cool. But, hey, so what. I might as well just get over it...psh, easier said than done. My recital piece is a lot of fun however. The notes aren't very interesting, but I find I'm enjoying it because it means that I HAVE to express it, otherwise my audience will drop in a dead sleep...don't want that. So, basically, I get to make a soap opera. I love my music.

School...oh where would we be without it? I am still plugging away at it. I have a busy summer lined up already, so I need to get done before June or hopefully in the middle of June. Speaking of a busy summer....

OK, in the month of July, I am literally swamped. The only week I have free in July is the week of the 4th...that's it. My second week is taken up with the 4-H County Fair. The third week consists of doing a guitar camp. My fourth will hopefully be spent in Wisconsin doing a Catholic youth camp. Oh yah, to make matters even better, I need to get $185 if I want to attend the camps. Then, it's August and I'm starting Lakeland Comm. college and my jr. yr of high school. Oh boy....

Also, as a sidenote...I have, in the past, talked about an offer I received of becoming a computer programmer of sorts. I do believe that I would love to do that. I would learn something that would benefit me in the long run and I would get better pay for it than making sandwiches(no offense to my dear sister). But, we'll see how that goes. Still need to pray about that.

Oh, and this is a little something for a certain someone...it's one of my favorite songs, and I hope this gives you the little pick-me-up that you need. Love ya, girl! :-D

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand

Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place - "Stand" by Rascal Flatts

Hmm...it's so weird how for some, life seems to be passing by in a slow motion, while others seem to be stuck on the fast track.

For those in slow mo, it's kind of nice, isn't it? You can just watch others go by. Almost like your own movie. You can learn from them and their mistakes. On the down side, you also feel the slight jealousy that they are growing up ahead of you. That you are no longer on the same route. That should subside at some point.

Now, for those on the fast track...wanna grab the reins and pull the horse back a bit, huh? Well, I would like to say that you can do that, but I'm sorry. This horse you'll just have to grab on to and let it ride itself out. Eventually it'll get tired....and then before you know it...it's just plodding along.

So, at the moment, for those on the slow mo, it will speed up. You'll prolly fall flat on your butt when it does. Those on the fast track...all I can say is just enjoy the ride.

Laterz!

A List?

A friend of mine was talking to me about lists...for what a guy should have if he wants me to consider him. Well, friend, here it is.

Centered on God

Fun, random, ready to do things at a moment's notice

Willing to listen, respect, and consider my opinion

Willing to let me do things on my own

Good with kids and not afraid to admit or show that he loves his family

Willing to put up with my personality

Has loads of patience

Loves animals

Loves music

Being Yourself

Just be yourself. What is the meaning of that phrase? How can one be himself when one is influenced by experiences and people? One does not know right away how to act, how to speak, how to do things. One looks around, sees what others are doing, and tries to copy what they are doing. What I'm trying to say is, how can someone be himself when everything about him is influenced by those around him? A person is one being, yes, but as a baby, one looks up to parents or siblings or both. One's actions are influenced by family and friends. So, what does being yourself truly mean?

Laterz!

Blah...

My philo. notes are not mentally inspiring. I just feel mentally tired. I have nothing interesting. I do believe that this is my most boring post. I shall do better tomorrow.

A Compliment to the Sexes

Here's a long awaited, albeit short, philo. note.

For the past few days, I have been pondering a question. Why does a compliment from a person of the same sex seem to be more light-hearted, while the same compliment from a person of the opposite sex is taken to heart? It seems that this phenomenon can be traced back to one person: God. In His infinite wisdom, He planned every minute detail of man's and woman's relationships. I know, that at times, when one looks at the personality of man and the personality of woman, one thinks God must've been having a fit of hysterics as He planned this all out. I can be included in this bunch. However, man was made specifically for woman and vice versa. Thus, when a person of one sex receives a compliment from the opposite sex, it is taken to heart because that is simply how we are wired.

Laterz!
