Frowny Face :(

No posts in like... forever. Soon I promise! (And this time with pictures from NY!) I've been super busy lately, but I'm trying to make time for everything... (fail).

Ouch.

This won't be long; I don't even think I can type that much. My back & arms are extremely sore from playing Just Dance 2 for a good 3-4 hours yesterday.

Kill me now; I am in so much pain.

Access Denied!

May I say... I HATE these school laptops! I understand it is a blessing that our school was able to distribute a computer to every student here, but good lord I swear they block EVERYTHING! I also can understand that this is school and we shouldn't be on them to play around, but I mean come on... there are limits to somethings! All to often scholarly websites are blocked will MLIA ( My life is average) is up for students to waste away time on, reading about ninjas and how everything is "epic" (Yes, I just stereotyped a majority of internet users). I am just trying to read an article... about a video game. Again, I'm in school, I should be learning, blah blah.


Switching gears here; I have to work everyday this week... It's only Thursday, meaning I've still got today, Friday & Saturday. My back hurts so bad I feel like my spine is going to give out and shove into my brain. I am also beginning to struggle in both Chemistry & Spanish (Spanish only because I waste time on the computer instead of actually learning and listening to the teacher; much like I am doing at this very moment haha :)). In Chemistry I have a 92 (And I'm unhappy... Excuse me C+ students.). That is an OKAY grade in my book, but I want the A and I want to understand why I am getting this A! I don't get half of what we talk about in there.. The more that I think about it, I hardly get anything I take at all. Geometry, Chemistry, Civics & Spanish. They all feel like classes I'm just sliding by in... I hate it :( I never thought I'd whine about high school, yet here I am. To be frank, it's hard. I have to balance a job, grades, (here comes my mile-long list of extra-curriculars, half of which I CAN'T even be active in...) Student Council (Soph. VP :)) SADD, FBLA, Creative Writing, & Charger Hearts (my own (unsuccessful) committee :D). Maybe that wasn't that long, but I feel like each and every one of them rules my freaking life. I tell myself "Next year, I will lighten up, take easier classes", but I'm not dumb enough to do it, I must impress colleges (COLUMBIA!!!) When is there time for a social life? Never.

Enough whining, but it is hard. That is another problem of mine... I have a bad case of being a Negative Nancy. My own grandmother told me last night that I am always negative. I have a lot of work to do on reinventing myself, because it really is time to change. Anyone want to grab a wrench and help me get this disgusting layer of myself off? Much appreciated!

If I wrote a note to god...

Dear God,
It really is not nice to tease us with 80 degree weather on Monday and then give us this freaking freeze-wave only 2 days later.

Love,
Brandon

Just a short post today. I feel like I need to post more; Although practically no one reads this, it's still a resourceful way to vent my thoughts. That's all for now!

Freezing & Addicted

Oh my good god... I am sitting in the hallways around 7:40 waiting for school to begin & I'm FREEZING TO DEATH. There has been an incessant draft and it's driving me crazy! (Aren't I articulate? :) Haha, I wish! I just had to look up both incessant & articulate...) I don't know if the school is stupid enough to turn the AC on in the middle of February but something is going on and it's coldddd.

Speaking of incessant, I had a very incessant weekend... of work & playing Sims 3! I have a problem; I swear! I don't know what it is about that game, but I can have it on my computer, downloaded, and play it for a month straight. Then I will miss playing one day, forget about it, and months later, I'll find it again and the cycle will repeat. My friend Michelle has had the same problems, and we love it!

I'm going to cut this one short, Carsons getting a little attitude with me & is threatening to unfollow me... Can't have that!

Poison & Wine

I don't intend on sharing a song with every post, but this song is an absolute exception. Poison & Wine by The Civil Wars is a really great song that I found recommended by Taylor Swift, who's music I also really like (well some of it... she's been writing a little too much about real boys lately, instead of the anonymous "Drew", "Stephen" and "Cory... Dear John? Really? Wonder who that's about...). The song is about the pains of love felt between the two. It's a duet, and the compatibility of their voices is scary amazing. I will say that when I first listened to the song it was nothing special, but once I actually sat down, alone, and pressed play, it was like a completely different song.

As Youtuber-esque as this may appear, im considering doing a cover of the song with my good friend Cassie; whom is an amazing singer herself. I don't really sing a lot, except in the shower. I don't know why, but I don't like singing in front of people for some reason; especially not A Capella... Maybe one day I'll get over this stage fright but, eh, It's not really an obstacle in my life.

That's all for now! Until next time bloggers!

Photographs.

Listening to this wonderful song "Photographs" by Rihanna & Will.i.am on this disgusting Monday morning... Why is this a disgusting morning? As I said... It's Monday.

Not to mention It's also Valentines Day... Which only makes it even worse. Valentines day is probably about the dumbest holiday invented; only if you're single that is. And when have I not been single? Never!

Okay, I've had a few girlfriends my middle school and high school life, but nothing serious nor that lasted until V-day came around. All respect to the previous women in my life (well, most of you) but I consider myself to have been single all of my life. I'd rather lie and tell myself that I have been single all of my life than admit to dating with some of the (lets say "Lower-Grade) girls I've been with. Most of the time I only dated them because I got teased by the other kids and wanted something to clear my name, which is wrong but hey, what are you going to do? I'm not perfect. Which leads me to another great song and the end of this post for I have spanish homework I really should've done yesterday... The song is F**king Perfect by P!nk, and I love it! It's so true! Carson's here and I don't want her reading over my shoulder...

With Love...

Whomever gave me this flu, watch your back. At school with a 101 fever, NOT FUN. I'll start ACTUALLY posting once I get rid of this stupid flu... however long that may be. :(

-Brandon

Sick = Sucks!

It's been 3 days, and I haven't posted a thing. I had to miss out on school today thanks to what I'm starting to think is the flu! I definitely don't want to go to school tomorrow, but I also want to remain eligible for exemption from my exams at the end of the school year! I've been resting all day long, just watching the first season of Jersey Shore (quality TV, I know). This post isn't going to be too long, I feel like I'm about to pass out! Until next time,

Ferris wheels are not my forté...

HA! And here I was, almost 6 hours ago telling myself I would have a relaxing and peaceful Saturday.... HA! I repeat, once more, HA! I decided to get started on a Geometry project in which we are to construct a Ferris wheel using the DUMBEST computer application. It may as well have been designed by Satan himself. Me + Ferris Wheel= STRESS. I won't bore you with the geometry terms that I don't even understand myself, but to place it simply, DIS IZ HARD. Maybe my trip out with friends will do the trick to cure this annoyance with the weekend. Lets hope so! Till then,

How to : Live with a Control freak

Meet my step-mom, Tina Edwards. She has been my step-mother since I was 2 years old. She is a mentally deformed psycho.

I was about to delete that all, and pretend that I was over it. As much of a drama king as that makes me look, I decided to keep it. If I continue to keep things like this that i feel like I HAVE to say, then eventually it's going to eat me up inside. I was always taught that if i had nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Some days, you just can't take it anymore. This is one of those days. I have no intention to bore you all with the boring story seeing as how #1: I'm really bad at telling stories #2: What's it going to do? Complaining about something may get the weight off of your chest, but the problem only becomes farther from being solved.

I'm just going to try and enjoy the rest of my day home alone (which wasn't what I intended to do, but thanks to "You know who", that won't be happening). I sometimes wonder, when I am in an argument with my parents, if I am just being too extreme. I say to myself "God I hate them; I just wish I lived somewhere else; I have the worst parents ever; etc.". You know how the routine goes. I mean, think about it. There are millions of children without parents at all (although sometimes I envy them). We should be grateful for what we have, which is something I really need to work on.

Thanks for listening in while I complained about my day, readers. I hope your Saturday becomes as relaxing as mine is about to. Love you all,

-Brandon

And the winner is...

Unfortunately, not me. But I did get an honorable mention! I am very appreciative of the work put into the county science fair, and as lame as it is to say this, it was a lot of fun! Congratulations to Carson Caprioglio for 1st place in applied technical! If you don't know who she is, you should really check out her blog! It's pretty cool! (http://carsoncaprioglio.blogspot.com) This whole experience with the science fair has made me want to really focus more on school (not like I don't enough already) because instead of making the A's and B's that I currently make, why can't I just make straight A's? I've got some serious buckling down to do obviously.Well, the day is almost done and I have to finish a Civics project I haven't even started... So much for getting my act together, haha! Until tomorrow,

-Brandon 

Today was NOT a fairytale...

Science Fair. Chemistry Test. Geometry Test. Civics Test. Break time? Hardly. Extremely stressful day's do not mix well with me (If they do with anyone else, I suggest medical attention). Not only was I entered into the County Science Fair, but of course I was the one who got the judge who had a problem with testing on animals (My experiment was with mice). The worst part about it was that I had to just listen to her criticism and nod politely.... Definitely NOT the way I wanted to react... I can only hope for the best, and think that maybe I placed at all. We'll find out tonight! Until then;

Into the rabbit hole

Here I go, onto my first adventure into blogging. I honestly cannot tell you where this blog is going to go from here, but only that it will reflect me, myself and I in only the most passionate ways. Please keep negative opinions or judgements inside your brain and enjoy the ride. Thank you!
