The semi-annual finals pep talk!

In the obvious reason of my post, avoiding my finals I'm giving you all the great chance of hearing the positive side of finals believe me they are good!

I know finals are already here and that today might make you dread the rest of the finals you have to come in the next 3 long and crucial days. But the most obvious reason of having finals is that once you are done, you never have to do that class again. No more Chem no more sociology and no more middlechildhood and early adolescence (my personal hate). No you aren't going to fail the class so stop telling yourself this, you'll do just fine. (Well maybe the way the teacher from hell grades you never know) Quit telling everyone that you are going to especially when the people in your class know you're going to throw off the whole curve. If you think about it finishing your final and handing it in is the perfect time for you to do something you normally wouldn't or couldn't have done. You could go up to your professor who you really weren't a fan of and dump your hot chocolate all over him and tell him how he was a douche bag for making you take that test the day after thanksgiving break. Can't do it? Then when you turn in the test say here's your answer key. Too weak in the knees still? If you're still too chicken shit to do that just say thanks professor I'm looking forward to your class in the spring. I personally would like to just kick my middle childhood professor in the junk and walk away but that might get me in jail...

The second best part of finals is that this is your time to finally ask out that guy or girl in your class that was the reason behind you going, not because of the awesome lectures. Go ask that person out what are they going to do? Say no, you're never possibly going to see them again, no harm no foul. Take them out for a finals break drink or something sweet like that. And if all fails and she says no you've got all Christmas break to feel like a dumb ass.

In desperate times, calls for desperate measures. A way to help with you anxiety and sleep deprivation is a chemical boost. Some are better than others. Even I have resorted back to the good old days of drinking my pop and enjoying my caffeine boost for that hour and a half. My monster energy drink seems to be working the best this year. That red bull is going to do you a hell of good if you can't stay awake to study your boring crap. Many say stay away from the alcohol this week but I say why not go for it. This quite possibly could lead to the other form of stress reliever, sexual activity. But don't go too overboard with this one it could cause many problems down the road. Hey maybe it could even be with that cute person from the class mentioned above.

Finally you can really take the challenge intellectually on finals week. Sure you haven't been to class since the first week and you got at D on your midterms....I don't care. You can learn the entire course with 3 dews and a full 24 hour cram before the test. Just think about this one, remember when you were a freshman and thought you had to go to every class. All the test prep you did was definitely less than 24 hours per class. That means for the rest of the time you did jack shit. So if you really are stuck in this situation you've got time. You can do it, but it might help if you have the notes from someone so you have some sort of idea.

So that's it guys remember study with a buddy if you can then, if they are a hot buddy you can go relieve some of your other stresses. Just kidding I don't promote that kind of stuff. I just wrote this since my hand hurt from writing my stupid definitions. Remember Ben and jerry can be you best friend as well as chocolate. Sleep is always a good thing to but remember to set your alarm that would suck!


With all this being said enjoy the worst week of the semester, you'll make it through like the rest of us. Enjoy your break it's less than a week away!

421

This played in my earbuds this morning and it fit everything perfectly....deal with it.

Wildbirds-421
This place unwinds all night in my mind.
Smoke 1, 2 , 3, and never believe in what you did not see.
Ive been fighting while she's in hiding and Im on fire, Im on fire.

Everybody loves you but nobody cares

Phone rings, police, this time they’re for me.
I will return but never forget what you have learned.
Ive been shaking, too much caffeine, still im on fire, Im on fire.


Everybody loves you but nobody cares)

Everybody's dancing, just turn one time for me.
Everybody's singing, just sing one line for me.
Its 421, 4-421.

Everybody loves you but nobody cares

Contrary to my previous blogs some of my former roommates, I repeat SOME appear to still care because they read my blog. (There are former roomies who have responded with concern and wanting to still get together, the ones I was really speaking out to.) However I've come to realize that these certain roomies are not worth my attention. Or me even thinking twice about them. Not only did one of the roommates have an ego large enough to think that it was written all about them, they had the balls to respond to something that she didn't fully understand, which I might add is part of the problem to begin with. she got involved in situations and things that she did not fully understand, therefore this girl would not know the truth if it bite her in the ass. For example this is what one of them has written as an away message in response to my blog.
FYI:we know the truth, no matter how much you exaggerate, lie, and pull out of your butt. you said you were a friend but you weren't because a friend doesn't: lie, break promises, and wreck things that aren't yours. in the end it isn't worth it. open the eyes of your closed mind and see how it really is. then, just maybe, you will see why you can look and wiat, but an invite won't be sent come summer time.
PJ's comment on this whole thing... "all friends have lied, broken promises, and wrecked things, but the difference between a real friend and somone that is not worth a shit is that friends apologize and try to make things better."
As far as the getting invitations to the wedding she obviously doesn't know sarcasm. I wasn't planning on coming even if I was invited anyway. I am not stupid. ultimately it comes down to wanting to be treated with respect, obviously this is not the case. Example on how she is disrespectful, a friend of mine said good game after she lost her last intramural soccer game to my team in the championship game and completely ignored her. That is disrespect right there kids. I guess I was right with the whole fake friend thing, because every interaction since moving out of hell has been nothing but a lie coming from her mouth. I really don't give a crap about this whole situation, I have people around me now that love and care for me screw ups an all. Nobody is perfect no matter how hard you try or act like you are, EVERYONE screws up in life, you deal with it. I know I screwed up but people move on and FORGIVE....
All I know is the 2nd annual Aubrey-fest is going to be one hell of a time, don't worry the invite's in the mail....(that's sarcasm for those certain people who don't get it)

meh

I'm struggling, big time with the fact of my former roommates. Girls I spent a lot of time with, sharing my life with, opening up to, and living with for at least a year, have completely just disappeared. I try to make contact and get in touch but there is nothing back. Then when it comes to the others who have moved on away from each other trying to be together, it happens. What did I do? Why am I the one that seems to be forgotten about? Just because I move out doesn't mean I am not around, I'm still here, heck I'm only 2 blocks away from both of them. It'd be nice to actually get mail sent to my old house like the other one they are friends with. I want to say something but is it really even worth my energy. These girls are fake, do I really want them in my life? I guess not. Oh well I guess there goes my invitations to their weddings this summer.

I'm in a silent point mood and this song is amazing....
Falling upwards again,
Turning to you my friend.
Whenever the sky gets heavy,
Just know that i'll be ready,
To go where you want me to go,
To know what you need me to know.
If ever you need me to know,
Just know that i'll know,
I'll know.

And I wanna be somebodys anything,
And I used to be your something,
But I wanna be my somebodys anything,
Say anything at all.

Fading from falling this time,
And i'm in the back of your mind.
If I hurt would you be so kind,
To tell me

what to do now??

I recently ran upon a friend of mine blog that he wrote. I watched the movie and I don't know what to say, he said it perfectly so read below, watch the movie, and come to the conclusions you want for yourself. Enjoy Jesse's words....

I've just finished watching the recent film Zeitgeist, and I am having to take some deep breaths to compose myself so that I can write this blog in a calm and rational way.

The first thing I want to do is say that I hope we can all agree that there are some very sad and scary events taking place in the world right NOW. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan... Civil wars and genocide in Africa... Increasing poverty and economic recession as well as decreasing education and health standards in the United States and many other countries.,, And all the while a near constant stream of fear based propaganda is being churned out by major media outlets around the globe.

What is happening? What is it all pointing towards? If you say, "Nothing, it's just human nature to fight" or 'That's the way the world works... Life isn't fair" then most likely you are probably just unaware of events in the past that prove that very often a small group of people are responsible for large scale human events such as war, economic fluctuations, presidential elections, assassinations, as well as the shockingly corrupt creation and manipulation of religious institutions.

However, I don't feel like I can explain this idea as well as the film, so I am literally BEGGING you to watch this movie AS SOON AS POSSIBLE... and then to spread it TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.

I do want to say that as with anything that someone is telling you, including this blog, this movie should be watched with a degree of skepticism. However, the main point of the film is to encourage independent thinking... and no one should be opposed to that idea.

I am struck right now by this feeling that time is of the essence. I am imagining that I am a citizen of Germany pre-World War II and that I have just been given an outline of the terrible destruction that my patriotic and popular president Adolf Hitler is about to unleash across Europe, and also the ability to do something to stop it.

Never before has there been a time when people can quickly share ideas across the entire planet like they can today. The most important thing right now is the education of the average citizen of whatever country you're in. We need to learn from the tragedies of the past. The drama of a powerful minority controlling and oppressing the uninformed majority has played itself out over and over... usually ending on some small level temporarily by some sort of violent revolution. But right now we have the power to stop the bleak (and unfortunately, totally believable) future that this movie predicts before it happens by raising enough awareness in the general population to prevent the powerful minority from pursuing their selfish, corrupt, and arrogant desires.

Go watch the movie and then check the sources for yourself online and learn how to get involved in the Activism section of the website.
