Missing Boeing 370 Theories

Apologies for my last post, I let a bit too much of my emotion out. In my defense, that post was pure emotion smelted into a fine blade made of words. Today I'll talk about something that will evoke a little less emotion. The missing Malaysian Airlines 370 flight, a whole barrel of controversy.

There have been many theories about what happened to the flight, and since there were pieces of debris found this morning there is a possibility that the mystery could be solved by this morning I want to talk about all the theories I've heard.

The first theory involved the plane going above it's working altitude and everyone died due to lack of oxygen. Another spin off to the theory is that the plane flew low enough to avoid the radar. I find both these theories very possible, but very unlikely

A newer theory I heard involved the plane's systems being hacked, causing it to change directions. This is one of the more unlikely stories due it having many holes that can prove the theory to be false. One of these holes lies in the possibility to hack a planes system to change its entire course AND prevent it from showing up on radars.

I had also read on a Reddit thread some people's crazy idea of how it was going to end, and there was one I liked. This theory was that every couple of days one of the passengers will be found in a random country with no memory of the flight. Of course it isn't that likely, but I do like to think that it is possible.

In the end though, everyone knows what happened, they just don't want to believe it. It has to be Aliens, there is no better explanation for an entire plane disappearing! In a couple of days the media will say that the plane crashed into the ocean, but we know the truth, whether they want us to or not!

This World is Cruel

I just finished reading a lot of posts from my classmates and I noticed a trend. Most of the posts were about someones feelings or opinions on a certain topic (college, relationships, future plans). It's good to know that a lot of them agree with me, and the ones that don't I find even more interesting to read. Originally I was going to write a post about the missing flight, but I'll save that for tomorrow (even though it is already tomorrow). I have something I want to get out of my system first.

When I see people's stories they're normally about someone's struggle through life, and how they manage to cope with what is thrown at them. It seems like everyone in my class are doing fine, which is more than a miracle.

Too often you hear the worst thing happening in the white house, the shooting at the school just a couple of states over, the starving country of the day, the country threatening another county for completely stupid reasons, the media only covering the bad things happening in the world because they think that's what people want, and the people who do want to hear it.

It's so messed up.

Of course there will always be good things happening all around the world, but it doesn't come close to making up for all the bad things. Shutting our ears to all the bad things won't work either, not if we plan on fixing it. The only thing someone can truly rely on is friends or family, and some people don't even have that.

Honestly it's a wonder why I'm not depressed. These are the things that are in my head every day gnawing at my psyche, and yet I'm the one cheering my friends up. I wonder if it's because I'm strong willed? Or maybe I'm numb to it?

I was fortunate enough to be raised in a family where everyone cares for each other and a mother who loved me immensely (maybe a little too much). Alas, even I have a sad side to my story, and that would involve my father, but that's for another day. Sometimes though, I wished I wasn't as fortunate.

I think I can take tragedy, I hear sad stories from almost every single one of my friends, why was I the lucky one? I don't want to be the one that has it easy! If I could give someone the childhood I had and take their bad one I would in a heartbeat!

But this was the fate decided for me, so I'm going to use this power for good. I'll be the best friend I can be, if they have a bad day I'll cheer them up, if they get kicked out of their home I'll tell them it can only get better, if they come to school depressed I'll smack the sadness right out of them!

It's the least I can do :)

A Question for my Classmates + Compliments to the Class

This week is going to be painful, I have assignments in almost every class plus I have to write up 3 posts by Friday. I don't know whats worse, having no chance to chill with my friends or that I'll have even more work junior year. I've heard junior year is the hardest, and it would be nice to know the amount of work given on average. For all I know junior year could be the easiest year, people have also told me senior year is the hardest. Now that I have a class with all seniors, I can ask, what year was the hardest for you? Everyone's answer will most likely be different from each other, but I can put my faith in people's opinions.

I also want to mention my new class. It's only really been about a month and everyone seems really awesome and full of personality. At first I almost felt intimidated being in around people who had far greater writing experience. What I didn't know was that I wasn't completely alone, many of my classmates I've had in other classes before. In the end what helps is that everyone from the teacher to my classmates never take anything seriously, they simply do what is asked, no complaints (or at least not much). I can tell you now my other sophomore classes are not as great; everyone complains about everything, hell I end up spitting some snarky comments simply because its infectious.

I guess to sum up that wall of text I just want to thank my class for making days like these feel a little bit less like the nine circles of Dante's inferno.

So I still have a lot of work to get through so I'll just leave you with this work of art.

Online Friends v.s. School Friends

What do you think of when you hear "hanging out with friends"?

Normally someone would think meeting up with some bros/girls at someones house. Even though I like to think of everyone I know at school as good friends, I don't share many of their interest. Due to this I also don't really have any interaction with anyone outside of school hours (with a couple of exceptions of course). I guess what I'm trying to get at is that my idea of "hanging out with friends" is different that most.

Last night I stayed up until 3AM playing games with four of my online friends. That night I laughed, yelled, cried a little, and had a pretty good time in general; there was never a dull moment with the crowd I was running with. Maybe this wouldn't be the way you would want to spend your weekend, but if you simply took the "online" out of my night it would be about the same as a lot of high-schooler's weekends.

Although I never bring my online friends up much at school, I feel that a lot of people would say online friends are nothing like school friends. Even if that may hold true, online friends are much easier to make because there is no limit to who you can meet! Imagine having a friend from England and the awesome conversations that you can't really have with classmates (unless their actually from there and moved here, but that's beside the point).

In the end I just want to say that you shouldn't think someone is weird because they don't seem to do much outside of school.

I was also going to input my thoughts on everyone's posts but its about midnight so I'm going to catch some shut eye. I'll leave you with a Slenderman wallpaper so you'll be the one not getting any sleep.

Target Audience for Blogs? + Realizing a Personal Goal

Yesterday I didn't have school due to ice on the roads; I can say with full satisfaction that I got 12 hours of sleep! Unfortunately I didn't do much else, nothing felt interesting or fun at the time. In hindsight I should have blogged that day, but I really didn't have much to talk about.

That is the one problem I can see with me having a blog; I can't see anyone who has the same interests as me AND reads other peoples blogs. In fact I'm sure most people in my class don't share the same interests as me (that and I'm the only one who isn't a senior). If you are curious to what interests I have most of them on my profile that you can view; I'm not really feeling like listing them off here.

Of course someone will bring up, "Well why don't you talk about things going on at the high school?". Here's the lowdown, I'm not a very outside person; I prefer to stay at my computer and talk to my online friends. The drama outside is not for me, I hate everything about it, and when it comes to stuff during hours I simply ignore "most" of it and focus on my studies.

I think that last sentence is a run-on...
oh no

Anyways, another point I wanted to bring up was one of the reasons I began this blog. I may or may not have forgotten one of the most important details of this blog...

It's a class assignment.

Despite this I'll still be writing this to a more general audience rather than just my classmates (oh god my teacher better not write any weird comments). What I wanted to say though is that I also have an ulterior goal with this blog, one I briefly stated last post. When I get to college I want to major in english, meaning that I need a lot of writing experience. Aside from this the only writing (wait... or is this typing?) I ever do is either for other schoolwork is a fantasy story that I'm only a couple pages into.

So I guess I'm saying that many of classmates will simply drop their blog once they are done with the assignment, but I think I'll stay (or at least attempt to) . It's been too long that I've dropped something just because it was too much work, but I think I'm ready to start acting responsible and hold on to this project years after I graduate.

Who knows where this will take me...

Setting up shop


So I finally got this blog to work, good job me! You do not want to know how long it took to create this blog. Anyways this is the start of the series of entries that will go up on here, pretty excited to be honest. For the career I want I'm going to need a LOT of practice writing, and what is better practice than demonstrating your lack of grammar/diction on the internet for everyone to see.

   Hooray

Anyways you'll be mostly seeing my thoughts on topics (ranging from small school issues to global conflicts) here. If you're not the person to listen to someone ramble on with their own opinions, you may not want to stick around because it's about to get pretty wordy around these parts.

P.S. Being the big art person I am I'll be posting wallpapers I use here every post or two... 
    Talk about fancy!
