Favorites (Richie Read This One)

Everyone has a favorite of everything; favorite colors, foods, music, etc. Why are there so called "favorites" in this world? Does what someone thinks about something automatically make it better because one person likes it above another? Does it make a difference on the value of the object to someone else? When someone has an opinion about something they think that they are obviously right and that everyone else who has a different opinion is wrong. I don't think that in any way that what someone thinks is any more important than another's. It all depends on the way that people will look at things. Everyone will always have different likes and dislikes. If someone else likes something and someone else doesn't, oh well, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. To someone if they don't like something, that thing will automatically have a lesser value to that person when in all actuality it hasn't really changed it just depends on the way in which it is looked at. It is really actually is quite interesting how everyone will have preferences that change how they look at everyone and everything.

School Must Return

After returning from the band trip in California I can honestly say that I am so ready to go back to school. Why you ask would I want to go back to school when I could still be in Cali? Well it's truly simple really, I am tired of people and I want to come back to school to have some work to do to get away from people. I'm not tired of anyone in particular but I do just want to have some alone time with myself. I need to chill and breate deeply for once and just relax and remember that school is only for a month and a half and then summer will come and I can just do whatever for three months. I really need to also go to school to see some people. Kind of ironic, right? Yes, but I do need to see the people that I haven't seen for over a week. I need to see them to remind myself that they still are there and are my friends. While I want to get away and back to people there is also another reason: I'm deathly bored and I need something to occupy my mind or to get my mind off of other things. All I need is to have school back and I'll be just fine again.

Vacations as Energy Releasers

This week I am about to go on band tour for part of spring break and I also get to miss two days of school. I'm way excited about having a longer break then most people are, but I want to know why does everyone get so excited over vacations? They just make the school year longer; if we didn't have any our summer would start a lot sooner and be longer. Even if people know that or not they still always want a good long break. Vacations are so fun and exciting especially when you go someplace exciting like Disneyland and the beach, which the band is doing. getting away from life and school always feels so good a refreshing hopefully preparing us for another long stretch of school without a day off. Vacations usually get out pent up energy that needs to be released(typically unless you just sat around all vacation) and you will be ready to come back and work on schoolwork. The band is going to have a great time and we will all hopefully come back with some energy to survive the 6 weeks left of school.

Mean Little Games

Why do friends enjoy doing mean things to each other even if it is out love? Is it because even though they love you they just feel like funny mean things are necessary? It might in a weird way strengthen the relationship of friends, but it also will, for a moment, not make things very good between the offended and offendee. The strengthening comes from when after the deed is done the friends must apologize and forgive each other which makes friends understand each other better. This may sound cheesy and all, but the bond between them is made stronger after each time they make up and forgive. But the forgiving may not be right away, the offended person may feel like they've been greatly wronged against and could feel bitter and angry. When these feelings pass over then the forgiving can begin and the friendship is once again restored. So mean little games are really truly a good thing that needs to be in every relationship unless, of course, you are the unforgiving type.

Serendipity

I happen to be the luckiest person that I know. I don't know why but when I think everything is about to fail and turn out for the worst something happens that makes it turn out very well. While this mainly happens with school things it very often happens in other aspects of my life as well. Now during this week I thought that many things were to go wrong but as usual I just have to wait until the last moment and something good will pop up. Why am I so incredibly lucky? I think I just so happen to be the least deserving person of this luckiness because I am a horrible procrastinator, very forgetful, etc., etc. Good things just gravitate around me and I don't even know why. Even my friends will agree that things will eventually turn out for me but I probably am not as deserving of this as they might be. We have tried to figure out why me but it is one of those unexplainable things that happen to people. I have an indescribable serendipity of attracting amazing happenings. But I think the reason that I have this luck is that I am around people who used to be lucky but now it seemed to have rubbed off on me and they no longer have it anymore. This really does not sound logical in any way but it is the only reason that I can think of because it definitely is not because I am an amazing person no matter how much I wish this were true.
