My "more of a rant post than a blog"

Hi everyone, again. I think that by next week, the "hi everyone" will change into something a little more... Exuberant. Well, this week has been like every other week, boring and lazy. My life in a nutshell is the song Longview by Green Day. If you haven't heard it, then you don't know 90's post-punk music, since that song rules. But listen to the unabridged version, its a LOT funnier. Anyway, enough about my ranting on music again, i want to share my experience with my friend Jake. As some of you might know, Jake is unfortunately moving to Seattle or something, and I'm very sad. Jake was always creepy funny, and just fun to be around. He said that I will get to go to his Birthday Party! Woah! So yea, we went to the pool on Wednesday, and i left my home at 12:00, even though Jake made the time for 12:30. Well, lucky for me, the pool opened at 1, so i had to sit outside for 40 minutes, waiting for Jake to come and waiting for it to be 1. Finally he arrives, and he starts telling me about his " lovva" Anna, who he met at a camp. So knowing this, in the pool, i went over to a 6 year old who was a real pain, since she was splashing me, and kicking me, and mumbling, and all these weird things, not to mention she was in all pink. I go over to her, and i tell her that Jake has been "checking her out" the whole time, and i ask her would she ever date him. Her answer was hilariousssss! She said " well, he is kinda hot!" Jake comes over, and that girl immediately blushes, and so we go out and i tell him what happened. He was SOOO mad! But after that, we had a fun, time, and then we went home.

Another phsyical activity that will be playing a part in my life will be " Tae Kwon Do"! I'm a little nervous about all the push ups and stuff, but finally, If another dude asks me if I'm a girl, my reply will be a cool punch or something. I got the uniform, and i look really tough in it, even though I've got the same flexing abilities of a bendy straw. That not a lot. The only downside is that the classes are at 6:40, and i would have loved to do something during the day, instead of what I'm doing now, which is rewriting my ENTIRE mandarin Notebook, and writing every character 5 times, which i wish i could be doing better things. I have also started waking up at 6:30 again, trying to get my mind into the fact that school is starting pretty soon, and i dont remember anything from the Pythagorean theorem!

My last and probably most controversial topic through this post will be drink corporations. Yesterday, i found a coupon for "jamba Juice" in the newspapers, so i decided that i would get a free drink. I enter the place, and it was so weird! There were all the "excersizingy" people ordering this wheat grass stuff. What the frick is wheat grass... I suppose its grass that a drink, but i don't see the point of all that money for a shot of grass. U might as well grow a lawn, and every time you mow it, collect the grass and blend it. Also, if i may add, and this will make a lot of people mad, but i like sharing my opinion to the world, so here it goes... Starbucks SUCKS. It s just a huge corporation that likes selling coffee drinks with who knows what else in them. I don't understand why people don't go to local coffee places, like in Portland, coffee people, and stumptown. These were coffee places that are Portland, and it's saddening to see that so many local places have been bought by Starbucks. My favorite motto in the whole world is "friends don't let friends drink at Starbuck" And with that, I bid you adieu.
