new month, new ideas.

let me start off by saying that tye-dye thursday is an amazing idea, and well "no shave november", that whole idea really isn't. i don't know what is compelling half of the school to participate. i'm just waiting to see how long they last considering the fact some people have already cheated. cycling on thursdays is amazing because cori teaches it, and she's the only instructor under thirty. the music is so much easier to cycle to. like we warmed up with "porcelain" by moby, then went to "lose control" by missy elliott, then "mr. brightside" by the killers, and then a song that i didn't know, and then "hallelujah" by jeff buckley was what we cooled down to. granted all of the songs were nine minutes long each so i didn't really know the verson, it was a good change to the '50s and '60s music they play most other days.

now to my main concern. i don't understand what has compelled the students of glynn academy to believe that taking naked pictures of yourself has become the new trend. when four people send nude pictures of themselves to majority of the student body, it is not cool. it's trashy. no one thinks you're hot stuff, however most people do think you're a whore. the fact that one girl has been heard saying, "hell yeah, that's me. everyone is just jealous because they wish they looked this way" is just ridiculous. when the most respected literature teacher in perhaps the entire county talks about it in class and says how disappointing and disgusting it is, you know it has become an epidemic rather than a trivial problem. the final straw for me was when i heard that one of the girls was called to the office and asked if the picture was her, and she said, "oh they're talking about brielle*" talking about an entirely different picture that was sent out because she didn't want them calling her parents. the situation in general is repulsive. the fact that two more glynn academy students have died within the past month has not been forgotten but has been pushed back in the minds of many individuals because "naked pictures are so much more dramatic". sorry but it's all ridiculous. to the girls and boy that the pictures are of, people don't respect you anymore, and i'm sorry that you can't see that. maybe you should watch the documentary called the lost children of rockdale county and see how ridiculous you truly look being proud of what you've done.
*names have not been changed due to the fact they are proud of their action

lastly, i am ending this post with possibly the funniest thing i have ever seen dealing with harry potter. there is a series about the characters as puppets which i will try to put on here after every post until all of them are up. i want to say that there are around six of them. all are totally inventive and different, and i applaud the creators of this imaginative video.
