Basically, we had to read this stupid packet for World Cultures about the different countries that landed in America! This was when Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 with Nina, Pinta, and Sainta Maria. But, apparently, Mr. Columbus isn't the great hero guy that we all sang about in elementary school. He's Mr. Let's Kill Some Indians to Get Some Land! I don't know about you, but that just totally killed my childhood.
So how exactly did the Spanish form colonies in the Americas? Basically, they "mingle" -cough- rape -cough- with Native women and create little Spanish Native children. Aww, now ain't that cute? Here's more. How did the French colonize Canada? They brought over French whores and the guys married the women to reproduce. So they multiplied and multiplied and multipied and died. Fun fun. Apparently, the French marry young and produce tons. Guys, this is what protection is for. Use it!
Then we have the English. Now, the English people decided, "Hey, let's send lots of people over to the Americas so we could dominate!" And guess what? It worked! Two points for the English. But then they killed the Indians. That's fun too? I guess?
But, to summarize it all, our lovely America began with Spanish people tricking Native Americans and killing them for land. Now, is that how we want to view America? When I was a little child, I used to think, "America is like the land for freedom, right? It's the best place on Earth." And now look where we are! We're in a war for oil! You know what would totally save our gas prices? If you people in the trucks and hummers go switch for a little tiny Civic. What's the use of driving those huge cars if you're not lugging around an elephant on a day to day basis? Really, people, small and compact is the way to go!
Also, while I'm still rambling about how stupid humans are, let's talk about cell phones. Did you know that you could get brain problems from talking too much on the cell phone? That's right. All that radiation from the phone can't be too good for you. So get off that little device and learn to talk to people face to face.
Back to cars! I don't know about you, but if it's not blizzarding (Yes, that is a word. If it's not, then I proclaim that it is.) outside, then you should forget the car and just walk! Or bike! Or scooter! Or do some exercise. I'm tired of watching those, "Loose a hundred pounds now!" commericals on TV. Can't you guys just get the point and realize that eating an expensive meal won't help you loose weight? Get your butt off that couch and move! Also, by walking instead of driving, you will save a lot of gas and energy! ATP, not gasoline, everyone!
Lastly, I'd like to say to everyone that, if anyone in this post has offended you, then I apologize. You have your own opinions. I have mine. We don't all think alike, and there are different views on different situations. Go along on your own way and follow your heart. Don't listen to me. And now, I must depart to go to sleep or else I will have to strangle someone tomorrow morning. Good night!

Waiting for Heaven
She simply laid there in the gleaming snow,
Blocking the path of dreams that flow
Away from her grasp and forever gone
To a place that lies farther than beyond.
Her hands reach out at the ray of light
That will lead her on throughout the night.
She fights back tears of burning rage
As her memories were fading, page by page.
Each snowflake buried her in her dying hopes;
And though she knew that she mustn’t mope,
She couldn’t fight the rampant fire—
That envious heart and dark desires.
But as winter faded to a cheery spring,
She couldn’t mend her broken wing:
The cripple that made her fall so low;
The cripple that made her walk the roads…
To that place in Heaven where she would sleep,
Where her tears won’t flow and she won’t weep…
But her broken heart has dragged her down.
Now in the rain was where she’ll drown.
But fear not, the summer will dry it all,
And the gentle breezes will break her falls.
Overtime, her wings will heal,
And her heart will grow with walls like steel.
Yet autumn is not far off from here,
And someday, she will return to there;
Where the leaves will gently glide to earth,
And golden leaves are what she’s worth.
From then, she’ll fly back to the skies,
And leave a world of hatred lies.
Only then will she be able to see
What it really means to be free.

Cellular Respiration: Glycolysis, Krebs, and Electron Transport Chains... Oh My!
Guess what we're learning about in bio? Cellular respiration! Fun fun. As I am stuck with pages among pages of bio homework, I shall write in my blog. The Chapter 30 Review is haunting me as I type. It's staring at me with its multiple choice questions and tedious discussion questions. I just finished writing my ever so long Kidney Bean Lab writeup, relating the production of CO2 from kidney beans to how temperature affects the rate of reaction in cellular respiration. I have just unlocked the secrets of hypothermia and hyperthermia! Muahahaha! Apparently, it has something to do with enzymes unfolding, dying, crying, and being murdered. But I shan't think about that now. What the good news is that I FINISHED THE LAB WRITEUP!
Now, I shall go on and ramble about some people who have nothing to do in their spare time besides post degrading comments on others' blogs. Truth is, no one cares, and the more degrading comments you post, the more you seem to be stupid and immature. Yep, it's true. To downgrade someone else in pointless boredom to make yourself seem more special is only an act of childish immaturity and self consciousness. So kindly stop posting those terrible comments, and search for a life on Ebay.
And now, I shall return to my endless pages of biology, from which I shall learn more about the equation of life!
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6H2O + 6CO2
Fun stuff, isn't it? And at the yield sign, we turn ADP and phosphate into ATP! Then there's some stuff about NADH, NAD+, FADH, and FAD+... But I shall read more about it later.
Oh yes, and I must tell you all about Lab Safety Rule #23, which states that no one most throw foreign objects at one another. Yes, that means no throwing colored pencils at each other in class. We learned that when we were coloring in the Krebs cycle out of a college coloring textbook. And now, a shout out to A Block Goldberg Honors Bio! We shall not press F on the active votes and blame it on other people and we shall force others to walk across the room to retrieve the colored pencils.
And now, I shall really get back to the waiting Chapter 30 review. It wants to kill me, really. I could care less about yellow and red bone marrow, exoskeletons, endoskeletons, and how muscles can only contract. And now, I shall get to the homework!
