Dave matthews

"And if along the way you are growing weary, you can rest with me until a brighter day... you're okay." -Dave Matthews. I don't know this song at all. I know of the band somewhat. I know that Dave matthews does a lot of things with aids awarness and stuff over in different countries. Also I know that they were a kinda big band during the 1990's and early 2000's. This quote makes me think of something a grandmother would say or a bunch of friends would say. I feel like if I was having a bad day then my friends would say that I could rest my head and stuff on them until I got better and happy. This reminds me of a scary story or something like I read the quote and I think of someone who is in fear and they go to someone who will help. I wish I could firgure out this quote more and understand it a little better. I wish I knew the song it came from so maybe the rest of the song would be easier to figure out. Well I think I'm out of ideas to write about for this quote. I still wish my thought processing was better.

yourself

"People always say how you should be yourself, like 'yourself' is this definite thing, like a toaster or something."-My so-called life. I agree with this quote because I often hear people telling other people to be themselves like they truely know how the other person is acting isn't themselves. People are always changing so they really don't know themselves so how are they suppose to to act like themselves. If people didn't change the world I think would be boring because everyone would be stuck to their ways and never compromise with anything. Most people in high school are different in school then they are out of it. Some people are different their friends then they are to people the just met. I know for example that if a girl in the senior class was herself then no one would like her because she acts nice then talks trash behind their backs and she wears way too much makeup to be herself. I think she's scared to be herself because she wants to be popular and have people like her for what she is and what she looks like instead of who is she on the inside. I think people should always be themselves because that way you can never be called fake.

Free write

So tonight is the JCL convention and it's the second time in history that it'll be at Sacopee. Well actually it's at the middle school. I'm kinda nervous because I'm not taking latin and I have to take a latin 4 test. I only got to latin 3. Latin never came easy to me at all. I struggled in latin 2 and 3 because I can't translate. I just never comprehended how to do it. I studied really hard most of the time and I still either failed or passed with a low grade. In latin 1 Mrs. O is really nice and easy going but once you hit latin 2 she's not so nice as she was. Outside of class she was back to the nice teacher that loves to talk and help out people. In JCl she's pretty much the same. Now that I'm a senior she expects alot of me and the rest of us seniors. I know that tonight at convention she's going to be down our throats to make sure everything goes to her plans. Last year at conventions she would get so mad at us if we did something out of the ordinary because we were her star pupils and we never do anything wrong usually. I don't think she realized that we're human and do act up sometimes. Everyone does it normal.

Free Write again

So today I'm fresh out of ideas for a free write. Nothing has been really going on in my life. I get up go to school, go home, go to practice, go home again, eat, and go to bed. My life is really boring actually. I wish I had people to hang out with when I'm at home but I live in town where there's a bunch of old people or little kids. My parent's said that when I got my lisence that I would be able to hang out with friends more and do things with them. Well they got that one wrong because my friends can't always hang out with me. I also can't go do things with them. I'm always too busy to do anything with them. I'm always running around doing sports or helping out with younger kids play sports. Don't get me wrong I love doing all of these things I just wish I had more free time too. Hopefully in college i'll have more free time then I do now. I plan on having more free time but ya never know. I know I want classes to start at like 9 or 10 because thats the time I usually get bored and want to do something.

talking without thinking

"To talk without thinking is to shoot without aiming." 18th century British proverb. I actually get this quote somewhat. I think it means that people are dumb and say things without thinking what they say. They just keep rambling because they think that they will get their point across. Basically the quote is saying you wouldn't shoot something without aiming if you were trying to hit it so why do people talk so much without thinking of what they are saying. Of course I'm one of those people that sometimes talks way to much and I never think of what I'm saying or what I'm about to say. Most of the time it's when I'm really ticked off at someone or something but that doesn't happen all the time. I think that most people don't think while they talk because they're scared that if they think about it that they might actually be wrong about something or say the wrong thing that will make someone else mad and talk without thinking. They people that I think talk the most without thinking are celeberites. Oh my goodness they don't think at all. They just say whatever is on their mind at the time and it usually ends up with them making a fool of themselves.
