"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."

-Charles Dickens

This could be taken into many different perspectives if you try to compare it to school. I guess you could say school did have a good side to it. High school helped me open my mind and realize the atmosphere in front of my face, metaphorically speaking of course. I feel I would of been a different person if I had never gone though my experiences at school. I feel it has helped me become more of a realist, and I feel more honorable knowing that I do not fall for tricks like I use to. Sadly it has made me look like an antagonists but I feel that society tried to hind themselves from the truth too much. I had friends and I'm glad I don't talk to them anymore. It's hard to find smart people anymore when society tries to lie to itself. I'm glad I always got in trouble  I'm glad people treated me horribly  and I'm glad I got the chance to realize that I'm a one many army and that life isn't worth fighting for. I now get the chance to take the time and watch as people make a fool of themselves and truly think that their way is the right one. The only thing I ever learned from school is that everyone is stupid and chooses to be that way. The rest I had to teach myself, and the most helpful thing I've learned is that everything is one big joke.

Words of Advice:

Is he nuts? NO! He's insane!

The day the earth lost it's strength

It was sunny day, the clouds provided shade from the heat. The breeze kept me calm and I couldn't imagine a better day. Everyone went along with their busy lives as I sat in the shade on my day off. Although surroundings were calm I felt uneasy. Like today was too perfect. I started to feel uneasy and somewhat lighter. I felt empowered at this moment because I could move with ease. Then I heard a faint scream off in the distance. The scream was then fallowed by a roar of voices that echoed in the air. I found myself slowly being lifted off the ground by an unseen force. I watched as my beautiful clouds started to dissappear, as though the deep breath I took blew them away. I saw objects floating in the sky above me. I could make out that they were people floating. I was confused with the current events. Beams of light started to torch the city. The air became harder to breath and I was getting light headed. I started to lose consciousness and as my surroundings dimed away I could still hear the faint screams of others panicking. 

The day was perfect.

Investing for your future

If I could invest in one friend to help them succeed in life I would choose my friend Mackenzie Williams. He is currently 17 and has a great knowledge in technical hardware and above average knowledge in technical programming. He is very opinionated, and  belittling but I feel these are issues are caused by his social status. He is very clever and becoming when your at his league and play on his team. I feel this is a security issue and it takes conformation for him to understand that you want to be his friend and support him, not depreciate him. I see great potential for him especially when he gets away from the "student' phase of his life where he can choose his friends and life without criticism. I know he may not be very fond of me or even like me but I do see him as a role model and hope to be as smart has he is. 

So MiniMac you have my support and I can't wait to see you grow up into a successor  Because I want to be just like you.

Huffin Magic Dust

If you could snort magic dust that would age you 10 years older, would you?

No I wouldn't, because to the state I would still be considered 17. I would not get any extra privileges that adults get and I would have skipped out on the years of life in which my body is at it's peak performance. After 30 it's all downhill. The only thing that getting older positively effects your life is your knowledge, respect, and privileges. If I magically turned 27 I would not get any of those positive effects that I listed earlier. 
Everyone has a different perspective in life. Things you consider wrong or bad may be things I consider right. Your perspectives are going to be different then mine and few we will agree on. Our perspectives of morals, beauty  and knowledge will be different. Thus beings a different age means nothing if people already know me as 17. So they will never see me as 27 until I grow to that age over time like everyone else.

I would not want to be magically 10 years older. If I had a choice I would rather be sent back in time then forward. The Future is a mystery, and the past is knowledge. I would rather re-live what I know then be pushed into the unknown.

CRIME FIGHTING!

To fight crime itself is a question. Weather you are a person that would like to watch the world burn or try to lengthen it's inevitable doom. Sense you question pertains to an "if" scenario I will try play the game. If I had to choose three super powers to fight crime with I would have to go with invisibility, the ability to stop time, and the ability to fly. The ability to stop time and invisibility contradict each other but I find use in having both because you can't do everything without motion. The ability to stop time itself would allow you to stop the majority of crime that you know is currently happening, but invisibility allows you to tweek events that you can no long stop. An example would be, the case of a murderer who killed someone when you did not know of it and could not stop it when it happened. You could speed up their death sentence. process. I chose the ability of flight for more of a personal reason, but it would also be useful for fighting crime if you think of it as a use of transportation.

How is school like a prison you ask me. I can only wonder which ways I should ponder about such a topic.

I guess I could start off with reasonable answers. First off the rights as a student are so different then the rights of a citizen that you have to go to school for a different degree to learn about them. Simple things like; staff can search you without consent, no freedom of speech, and many more that are not floating around in my head at the moment. These don't really affect me - I rarely misbehave - but they sure do affect the student at my school. They quote that school is "gay," and "stupid." 

My school feels like a prison because most of the student around me have had criminal offenses, misdemeanor, and many are on probation. Just that type of people you meet in prison. They are loud, violent, and excessively cuss. I dislike them.

I do not believe school is a prison. Just a facility you stay in for the learning stage of your life. It does not negatively impact your life, only the people do. 

Oh the irony.

Luckily I only have one more year of this.

If I were a teacher, my ten class rules would be insensitive and strict. 

They go as fallowed:

1. Don't be stupid.
2. Sit down and shut up.
3. Do your work, or leave.
4. No music aloud. (they made headphones so that no one has to hear your music, keep it that way.)
5. Be on time, you will not be allowed to enter. (unless you have a teacher/parent permission.)
6. If your going to insult someone you better have a good reason.
7. If you mention the words "swag" "420" "weed" "marijuana should be legalized" you will be failed.
8. No smoking, drinking, or any other intoxicating materials are allowed in class.
9. I'm here to help you be intelligent in life so you can get a good job. What ever you waste your money on is not my problem but just and fyi, any rich person that wasted their money on drugs is dead, so don't blame your problems on me if you don't want to learn.
10. Ponies, Ponies Everywhere!

I would rather be able to fly so I could live on the clouds and watch the world burn below me as humanity destroys themselves with their own stupidity. People may think I'm controversial  but I try to think of it as I'm just too honest for insecure minds of today. Just think about our society without your mind hurting. Two people can't walk through the same store without them completely ignoring each other or practically being scared of each other. I don't want to be here and sadly it's not just a town, city, state, or country that I think is falling apart, I believe it's all of humanity. Sadly there's not another planet I could just go to, but the further away the better. The clouds are a pretty place, and should be warm from the sun light. Everyone likes the feeling of having a wall to their back, and if I have the clouds to my back, the world isn't in view.
