breaking news!

Originally posted on Wednesday, April 19, 2006

I just want to say as a preface that I don’t hate all reporters. I bet there are some really good ones out there. Apparently none of them were in my class. I didn’t like those reporters in my class because they were cliquish, boastful, loud, obnoxious, and snobby.

Ok well I know I had been stressing out about my wrestling paper for my comm. class. Well today was the day to present your work. I got lucky and drew a good number so I won't be able to present it until at least next class maybe even the class after that if I'm really lucky. That loud reporter girl was complaining about how she had stayed up all morning until 3AM editing thier presentaion. I was hoping the projecter would be broken so we couldn't play videos or DVDs. That reporter girl was so mad because she wanted the whole class to see what she did. Um...ok -_-

Then she changed her story and she was up until 4AM editing it. She was so mad she called that dreanged reporter teacher on her phone to get another room so she could show what she had made. So we had to go to another room.

The room we went to was my old stomping grounds. Well it was the room I used to have that deranged reporter teacher's class in. It brought back old memories. Of me coming in on Fridays after I had watched Smackdown and was busy thinking about Cena than listening to her anyway. Good old tweener Cena. I remember one time I chewed gum in there and it was upsetting her a lot. She kept throwing me dirty looks.

The good thing was that teacher wasn't in the room. That would've sucked. And me with no gum Finally that girl gets her show going. She was complaining about how they could've done something better with another person. Oh so sad.

Well they did a newsboradcast of news stories from the school. It was so bad it was funny. In the interview segments the people talking were being dround out by background noise. And they did a report on St. Pattie's day which was like a month ago. At the end she got mad and said we would know more about the school if we read the paper...-_-

No thanks!

Than she said that she kept flubbing her lines and cursing. My, my how unprofessional.

I know I took the title of the blog from a Cena quote. Really before now I never really thought much of it. I just thought it was just another stupid quote he was using so they could put it on a new shirt design to sell. But now for some reason it’s speaking to me. I just want to also say that this blog is not about Cena. I was going to write about what happened all week, but I decided that this blog needed to stand alone. This happened on Tuesday.

I just want to say that I’m notorious for living in the past. I like reading old magazines, playing with old toys, watching old tv shows and listening to old music. Hell if I could I’d still be wearing round toed platform saddle shoes and some wide legged pants. But one can’t live in the past forever sometimes you just gotta look forward to the future, and tell yourself that the past is over and move on.

In the morning before school. I told myself I was going to the club rush and meet new people. This new feeling came over me. I can’t describe it. I feel like I’m willing to take risks. I’m not willing to take extreme risks like skydiving. I mean like talking to and meeting new people or trying something different.

I stayed where I was because I was in a comfortable rut. You can’t wait for things to change you have to make it change. Before my motto use to be "something will happen eventually" which is a bad motto to have.

In class I was using my prior knowledge of 11th grade chemistry. I got all caught up in thinking about ionic bonds. I mean that was like one of the few things I learned in chemistry. Even though I had taken chemistry like 7-8 years ago I was still confused. She had us do a work sheet. I did it wrong at first, but then I spent a long time working on it. I got too caught up in how to read the periodic table in a certain way. Like the noble gasses and the most stable because they have the most electrons and really don’t need anymore. I was hoping I would get out of class early so I could go and see the clubs.

When I got to the club booths I was thinking of going straight to the anime booth. The funny thing was there was this guy talking to somebody else and he said he watched 80% of all the anime. Does he realize how much that is? I’m there to join a club and meet new people and not "out fan" them. I realized that risk of running into clingy otakus or even running into the otakus from the Japanese class I took last year. I’m willing to take that chance. I thought nothing was going to happen if I just sat around and waited for something to happen. I signed up. They wanted your email and phone number, but I only gave my email address. If they want they can contact me by email. I’ll go to the meetings if it fits into my schedule.

There is a person from my past who hurt me and I just want to tell them I forgive them. I don’t know why you did what you did and maybe I won’t ever understand it, but I’m ready to put the past behind me. And if you are reading this my door is always open if you want to talk there are no burned bridges here.

"Don’t forget your roots, but also don’t rot."- Move On by No Doubt.

This blog is talking about things that happened 2 weeks ago. I also want to say that the old video I talk about belongs to my teacher and I will not steal it and post it on youtube or anything. I remember once I posted on a message board about an old Slimgoodbody poster that use to be in some room in my old school like in the early 90s and somebody wrote back to me to go to my old school and steal the poster because they loved Slim and educational programming so much.

I’m riled and fired up! A lot of things happened to me and I want to talk about them! I really didn’t want to go to the lecture part of my class. I really feel that I don’t need it anyway and it’s not that important to me. The funny thing was I almost got a twisted wish because the bus almost broke down on the way there. I got to class late and somebody was sitting in the good seat I like. I sat behind the seat I usually sit in but the desktop was too small so I ended up sitting in the next row.


Then we watched an old video while the teacher was queuing it up there was an old PSA on it and she fast forwarded past the speaking part of it. There was an old graphic that said "Don’t let your lungs go to pot". It was white lettering in like a orangey yellow circle. I thought this PSA was funny and intriguing. I wondered how old that PSA was. I wondered if I could find it on you tube or something. Then after that there was an old KLCS station ID bumper. Personally to my recollection I had never seen a KLCS logo that looked like that. It was gold lettering on a blue background and a voice said something like "this is KLCS channel 58." When I saw that it made me think of that old logo they use to use with the red and green light beams that they use to use for Body Buddies and It Figures. I was way more interested in the old tape and when it was recorded (year) than the boring old chemistry film on it. The tape we were watching was on an old tape and the film that KLCS was showing was an old film at the time the tape was recorded. The film looked like it had to be like from the 50s or 60s. It was in color. It was like those old science films they make fun of on Bill Nye. The bad thing was that we also had to fill out a study guide and answer questions about the video. The video went really fast and I was still feeling distracted. The teacher told us we could only use the video to fill out the study guide and you couldn’t get the information from anywhere else.

Before my lab test I just wanted to eat and have my "breddy" food. Which was a sandwich. I was also planning what I was going to do later in the day. I was trying to figure out when the CSUF game would be on. I had no idea, but I knew it would be .. school since it was on against the Laker game. I had to get prepared for the test, but I wasn’t really. I was just sort looking over my notes. I made a few doodles before my test because making doodles or drawings before a test really de-stresses me. I drew a silly little doodle of Cena. I thought the test was hard even though you could use your notes mine were not that good. After the test you were to group up in random groups in order of when you finished the test. I think I finished in the middle not too slow and not too fast.

I ended up working with some girl I didn’t know. She was so mad about the fur we had to use. But we had to use real fur because fake fur doesn’t have the same properties as real fur. The teacher said it was bunny fur. I’m no expert on fur or anything (I don’t own any), but I can pretty much tell real from fake. Real fur feels like petting a real animal and the ones we were using had skin on the back. Fake feels like a plush stuffed animal like a Care Bear. The girl refused to touch or use it because it was real bunny fur with skin on the back and because she’s a vegetarian. She wouldn’t even touch the stuff that touched the fur. Ok I know fur is bad, but you gotta get the work done which meant I had to do practically all the work by myself. I do believe some animal rights things like the irradiation of the handsome cabs, KFC and the conditions of the chickens, and cows being killed for leather and being left to rot. When she told me all of that it made me think of this funny episode of 5 Questions (the November 24, 2006 edition) where Cena tells a vegetarian who is also named John Cena who wants to bulk up to go and kill an animal to eat. I also thought about the Reel Big fish song "Say Ten" that is a really silly song. My cousin and I really like it. Song and 5 Questions episode not recommended for vegetarians or the faint of heart. Then 2 other girls come and work by us and she tells them the deal with the fur. One of the girls asks her if she is a member of Peta, but she says she’s not. We had to build this thing with PVC pipes and she couldn’t pull them apart, but I could because I eat meat. Ok maybe not, but for some reason people think I look burly. I’m not I just have fat arms. She wasn’t much help at all even with the non fur stuff. I caught her texting at least 2 times.

That girl is really shallow because she said she doesn’t like the teacher because she’s ugly. The more and more she talked the more I didn’t like her. I mean just because your teacher is ugly doesn’t mean they are unapproachable. I think the teacher is somewhat approachable. She wanted to quickly finish up the work and leave.

It was funny when another girl came up to her and told her she had a nice hair cut. I personally thought it was too trendy and ugly. She was dressed way too trendy with her skinny jeans and canvas flats. To me I don’t know she just seemed fake and shallow to me.

I don’t even know how this happened, but she managed to finish before. I had to stay another 15-20 minutes because my answers were "wrong". I don’t even see how they were. We wrote like the same thing. Then I really started to lose it. I don’t know if the teacher thinks I’m dumb or something, but this has happened to me like 2-3 times. I’m including this incident. When I finally got it right I noticed as time progresses in the class the teacher becomes less lenient on your answers. I was happy because I could finally leave and watch basketball. I was just waiting for the CSUF game.

When I got home I checked to see if it was on. I had no idea when it would start because there is no real start time for those games especially one late in the day. They start a little after the next one. I kept checking. The USC Trojan game was before theirs and it was played at the same place. So I had to wait for that one to end first. The Trojans lost. Then it was time for the CSUF game. All kinds of basketball was on; college with UCLA and CSUF and the professional Lakers. The feed on channel 56 KDOC started at 6:30. They had to put the KDOC logo to show that was not CBS. Before the game started 56 KDOC and 2 KCBS were showing the same feed. The game started off good at first CSUF was ahead, but they only were for like the first 5 minutes. If I looked hard enough I could see Tuffy in the corner of the court in the background. The bad thing was that since Wisconsin is a more well know school than CSUF they were showing more love and camera time to the Wisconsin cheerleaders, mascot and band. When the CSUF band was shown they were on for like a second and they covered up by advertising graphics. CSUF is more of a baseball school even the commentators said that. They never came back from their deficit, and they lost. So that sucked. When I was watching the UCLA game I was rooting for them because if I would’ve been smarted and had better grades in high school I would’ve gone there. But you know what they UC students say about the Cal State schools. "Cal State schools are for the UC rejects". Which I think is partially true. I was exhausted from everything that happened that day I fell asleep at 9:30.

In my personal opinion that lab activity is outdated and should not be done anymore due to the use of fur.

Can you believe I’m actually blogging about sports? Real sports. Well I just want to say congratulations to the Cal State Fulleton Titans who got the number 14 seed in the Big West Conference. They haven’t been in it since 1978 which was way before I was born. Even though they are a Division II school they play Division I schools.

Even though I only went to that school for 1 year I always root for the Titans.

Go Titans!
