Today, in Driver's ed class, we were asked a question. "What if," our teacher asked, "you have the right of way at a four-way stop, but you see another car zooming in from your right or left, and he looks like he isn't going to stop. Do you trust him, or wait?"
We were all shaking our heads, mumbling "wait" in low voices, but one kid raised his hand, and when the teacher called on him, he said "YOLO." Everyone started laughing, even the teacher once we explained what it meant.

A good way to start the day, but it didn't make the day any better. I was just doing horribly today, my senses were lowered and everything was like a blur. I felt sick, my stomach heaving inside me, and a tornado was wrecking havoc in my head. My eyes felt like they were burning, and they itched horribly, taunting me, tempting me to itch. But once I do, my eyes get rid, and with my already sick, dazed expression, I would have looked high on some kind of drug, so I resisted the urge, fighting it back with an already aching mind. I couldn't even walk straight, I wobbled with every step, and more than once I kinda lost my balance and veered into a wall beside me. Who knows what's wrong with me. Lack of sleep, maybe. Or maybe stress. I have a lot to do this week, and next week, then in a month, I'll be forced to give our "free country" my name and address so that if the need ever arises, I can be drafted into being a professional murderer. Nice, ain't it? Our country boasts of freedom, but what are we, in the end? We're slaves. They send us to fight their wars, they tax the hell out of us, and drown us in laws and regulations. Where's the freedom? The free will of America? Gone. Whatever, no use crying over it, I'll just hope that someday, we get a Libertarian as president. I'm just using this thread to rant, I'm not here to preach or convert anyone over to my political party. I'll make another thread for that, whenever I'm in a huge ranting mood.
Sorta feels good, though. Ranting like this, going on and gone, I'm a broken record with fingers. I just complain about the same old things over and over, but maybe if I talk about it enough, I'll stop and maybe even feel better. I'm not a big fan of talking about my life, so ranting had been something reserved only to those close to me. Sarah's the closest person to me, probably. Well, at least the closest person who still logs on. There's a few others too, that still log on, but I'm not going to start listing who I trust, because then people will assume that whoever's name I leave out, I don't trust. That's not true, but it's not false either. I trust everyone, to a certain extent. I'm not paranoid, I don't think everyone is out to get me, it's nothing like that. I just don't trust people. Period. You know, except a few. Anyway, back to the main point of this, I'll start ranting more in my entries, about random, mundane stuff, some will come out in my views on religion, politics, and even something more personal.
While I'm on religion, I'm just going to rant about that for a bit, since something recently happened that kind of pissed me off. You see, I'm a Buddhist, not a good Buddhist, but I am one. Any who, as you've probably heard, four Buddhist temples and a small village were burned down, and by who? Why, those peace loving Muslims! All because of some man's comment towards their religion. Tolerant? Yeah right. Then they have the audacity to threaten the world. Oh, but not in a harsh way. No, they are much too clever for that. They worded it a little more...elegantly? If I remember correctly, they said that there should be an international ban on bad mouthing their prophet, and if we don't, well, it could be "a threat to international peace and security and the sanctity of life." To make it simple, and more direct, that's a threat. It's like the mafia. If we don't go along with what they say, there could be "problems." Madness. Buddhism is a peaceful religion, and being attacked like that is completely unorthodox. They're becoming savages, and are a blemish upon the religion. I'm sure there are good Muslims out there, and they need to speak up and stop the radicals from furthering such a hateful agenda.
Eh, I don't like ranting about religion.
Wow, it went from telling you all something funny that happened at school, to feeling weird, to my views on America and the military, and ended with religion. Woah.
