Allow me to walk you through life in the eyes of a minority; attempting to keep up with the trends; sometimes starting some of my own. The struggle.

K or B?
So can we talk about the different ways to "break the Internet"? Apparently nudity will revolutionize the way people take their news, and can draw audiences away from surfing the Internet and push them back toward paper formatting. Does this sound confusing or stupid? Well tell Kim Kardashian who recently volunteered to commercialize her naked body parts, once again, to bring attention to Paper Magazine. A basically pointless endeavor. This petty cry for attention was no match for the way Beyoncé shut everybody down. With hardly any effort at all, Beyonce turned a fun day at the hotel with her girlfriends and daughter into a viral music video and hit single. I don't think Beyonce was intentionally trying to shut Kim up, but I have fun thinking that she did! I mean it's really just like "boom young floozy have a seat, buckle up, and see how it's done!" Beyonce has effortlessly created a fun, lady's night out anthem "7/11" that has exploded on the internet, passing Kim's fading spotlight moment and actually lasting. People respect the great Yonce because she does things no one else can. She's amazingly talented. Poor Kim, female has boobs, and a butt (especially with a little technical retouching or surgery). Nice face though. Good job, you go girl...I guess.

For Laughs.

This one's just for laughs folks. (Christian upbringing probs)

Waffles.
"Make a waffle" she said "It'll be quick" she said. Because of these misleading prompts by my own mom, a perfectly good morning twisted into a whirlwind of inescapable lateness. I know, that as a mother she was just trying to make sure that I had something to eat for breakfast. She means well. I just wish that she would have started the waffle for me since she thought I should have it! But no, I'm "too old for her to be making my breakfast". Standing at the waffle maker, fully dressed for once, I was so sure that I was ready to go and would be in the car on time. Well, minute after minute passes and the waffle maker doesn't beep. I'm tapping my foot, backpack on my back, still optimistic. A couple more minutes pass. Still no beep! By now I'm irritated. When I finally hear the stupid noise and see the green light I just rip the waffle out and fling it in my container and storm towards the door and turn on the alarm. I throw my things into the car but of course I'm still not ready! I forgot my phone! Now I have to go back inside, turn off the alarm, grab my phone, set the alarm again, and try to actually leave my house. The adrenaline from my hearts aggravation makes me gas it while I'm driving; it's a miracle I didn't wreck. I eventually pull into my park and walk up to my class, waffles in hand. Late.

Love/Hate Relationship: Texting.
You don't truly know what I'm trying to say or how I'm reallly trying to say it, but at the same time I can say it to you so darn quickly. Does that make it worth the miscommunication? Let's dive in. First of all, the power to look down at your phone and see someone trying to reach out to you and straight up having the option ignore them is disgustingly strong. I'm sure that it's such a good thing to be able to escape conflict so quickly. Is it a cop out or a life saver? Ultimately your decision obviously, but it is definitely something to think about. I mean it is nice when you can be the one like, "HA, you sucked at school today and were rude so therefore I'm going to ignore you, peasant." But if you are the one being ignored, it's just punishment. Miscommunicating is all too common with texts. Sure, there are dozens of emojis and you can do exclamation points and all caps yattah-yattah but I am sorry (not really) to burst your little bubble but NOTHING can translate sarcasm like a face-to-face confrontational voice fluctuation and eye roll. And what if you tell a joke via text and the person replies "HAHAHAHAHA!!! OMG!!!" with all these laughing emojis but in reality thought it was the stupidest thing ever? Then, when you go somewhere thinking you're about to tell this amazingly successful joke and even as you deliver the punch line your audiences face never changes you'll either be confused or hate that other guy for pretending to laugh. Texting: can't talk with it, can't breathe without it.
High School (Moral Slaughterhouse).
What's even happening right now? Honestly, someone tell me what is really wrong with people. Okay, so maybe you can't judge people without knowing their entire situation or whatever, but some of these humans are just nasty. Calm down. No one thinks that kids that smoke are cooler. Smokers aren't bad people, I mean some of my best friends smoke, I just need to throw out there that it doesn't make you "The Hot Stuff" (for lack of a better phrase). Switching gears here: hooking up with a bunch of different people is not cute, or even normal LOL. (Sidebar: am I allowed to "LOL" in a blog?) It's not that I'm one of those FIND YOUR SPOUSE IN HIGH SCHOOL advocates or freaks but come on. Admittedly you never know if it's hurting anything until damage is done, but you have to know random hook ups aren't necessarily beneficial. If you don't know, may God bless your weary soul. "Man, Q is just this egotistical Pharisee slaying everyone behind a screen." No people, remain calm. Anyone who knows me will tell you that as for my opinion, it's ask and you shall receive. I'm an open book for the most part. (And for those of you who have a sarcastic mind, I consider you clicking on my blog and reading my posts as asking/inquiring my opinion so boom.) I just find it interestingly unfortunate that virgins no longer have a population, but are quickly becoming an independent tribe. Oh well, who am I to tell you how to live your life? Get off my blog. Love you mean it.
P.s. Sorry for over parenthesizing.

Time Change!
I am really loving this time change. Who wouldn't love an extra hour of sleep? Not only that, but waking up with the sun brightens my spirit in the morning. The way the natural light hits my mirror illuminates my bedroom making me feel like a character in a movie (I may or may not hop out of bed and burst into song). When I can wake up and see the sun rising, it's a lot easier to have a good day. Getting in the car and having a reason to put your shades on and ride off like a boss makes the irritatingly frigid weather not so bad. Something about the sun encourages you to use your "Get Me Hype" or "Wakey Wakey!" playlist (or whatever you name your happy songs) and have a great ride to prison, or school. Finally you can take a break from those mellow songs that fit those cool rides in the dark. Start off with a song in your head and ultimately a cheesy grin on your face! I'm pretty positive the average person is more likely to be nice to someone coming into homeroom grinning. Me personally, I like to force the grumpy kids into an awkward smile by blasting them with abrasive kindness; but not everyone is on my level.
