Filler

Right now I just feel like writing about something, since I'm lying in bed, still processing all that shitty caffeine that I drank today, just waiting for my melatonin to kick in. Anyways, here goes a free write.

My brother visited me this weekend, and it was bittersweet. He had an okay time at Tiesto, since he wasn't a fan of dancing, and airsoft got cancelled. But I got my goals done - I got him to try some new things, and I showed him how crazy college can be.
For example:
On my way to Tiesto, me and my bro got on the bus. Right after stepping on, some girl pinched my ass. At first instinct I was pissed, since my friend pinched my ass earlier and the day and I kicked him for it, but when I realized it wasn't him, I was kind of intrigued. For some reason I'm kinda cool with people touching me. Weird, right?
Then, the next day when walking back from trying to get into a fraternity, some crazy drunk chick was screaming out the sixth floor window of one of the dorms on campus to a group of people. My bro and I were just innocently walking by, when the girl yelled "Hey you, with the orange hat!" Which, first off, I was wearing a black hat, then she switched it to "You with the orange shirt!" At which point, I asked back, "Are you talking to me? I'm wearing a red shirt..." She then screamed back "Come up here, we're D T F!!!" Well I was completely taken aback by that, and I forget what my response was but I decided to just walk away. Then she yelled something about screwing someone's boyfriend. I'm not really sure what the hell she was thinking through this whole ordeal. Too many dr0gz, I guess.

Other than those two fleeting moments with random females, I had pretty terrible luck on the whole female department. One friend basically came over only to chill with my friend, another hit me up and kind of ignored me, and another is just slowly distancing herself. But the last one makes sense, she's physically distant, so I can understand that.

Well, it's back to another week filled with school work, work work, and pledge class. I'm pretty excited for the whole pledging process - we get to run charity events and social events, it'll be a good chance for me to get back into photography and meet new people. I still need to meet like-minded people. I tend to think of myself as being pretty different than most people on campus. Or weird, either adjective correctly describes me to an outsider, I'd say.

** Subject Change **

I've been recognized a few times lately from my performance in theatre class. It's pretty cool being known for something. Maybe I'll do something else that I'll get well known for, who knows what the coming months will hold. Things change quite quickly up here. Friends come and go, people make an impact on your life then leave, others surprisingly stay, and how people think of you change. I look forward to seeing where I am in 3 weeks, it'll be completely different from where I am now.

Finally, a Step to End the War on Drugs

New Hampshire to Hold Marijuana Legalization Hearings at the State House on Thursday

       A friend showed me this article. I couldn't believe that finally they're working towards a reform on marijuana laws. It only makes sense, why not just tax the users instead of taking up jail space, stealing their money, and treating them like criminals? It saves so many people time, money, and space. Thanks, NH.

I bet that  HB 621 or HB 492 will pass.

Reasons why I think (and want) 492 will pass:

in HB 492:

"In the interest of the efficient use of law enforcement resources, enhancing revenue for public purposes, and individual freedom, the people of the state of New Hampshire find and declare that the use of marijuana should be legal for persons 21 years of age or older and taxed in a manner similar to alcohol."

This statement is amazing, it mentions so many crucial points that I've argued. Law enforcement, revenue, freedom - boom boom boom. This is a recipe for success and getting more states to follow suit.

An aside, though:

(d) Legitimate, taxpaying business people, and not criminal actors, will conduct sales of marijuana...

Um, excuse me? "criminal actors"? This is under the current law, the government made them into "criminal actors" just because of the law. Come on, let's be real.

Reasons why I think (and would prefer) 621 to pass:

in HB 621:

"Any person under 18 years of age who is in possession of less than one ounce of marijuana... shall be guilty of a violation and subject to a fine not to exceed $100 and forfeiture of the marijuana. The offender’s parents or legal guardians shall be notified of the offense. The court may order the offender to complete an approved drug awareness program..."

This is an interesting way to look at it, < 18, forfeit, fine, warning. Then possible drug rehab. I actually very much agree because being younger than 16 and smoking is too early - very much like cigarettes. Although I don't understand why/how 16 year-olds can get cigarettes, but that's just how things are. So basically, be smart kids. Be patient, your time will come.

So this makes me question what the bill is really saying:

"The Judicial Branch states this bill will provide that possession of less than one ounce of marijuana for personal use would be punishable as a violation not a class A misdemeanor, provides for a fine not to exceed $100 for an offender 18 years of age or older in possession of less than one ounce of marijuana"

I thought this was the legal part? I thought if person A is 18 and has < 1 oz of marijuana  it's okay and legal. I guess this contradicts that...? 

I don't like politics...

But this is cool.

Pce out.

I'm gonna do it. Place bets.

I'm going to do something out of character.
But it's kind of in character, since it's taking care of myself and doing what's technically healthiest for my self preservation.

I'm going to eat like a forager.
I'm going to eat nuts for protein,
Leaves for their nutrition,
Fruits for their sweets,
Salmon for the Fats,
And cliff bars for Calories.

I kind of transitioned into a poem right there.
Bat that means it's right...
And the vision is in sight,
How now, I'm a poet?
Yay, thats right!, you know it!

I don't know why I did that twice, thumb up if you like it, and maybe I'll do it again. Otherwise if people hate it I'll stop forever.

Anyways, I'm going to do it. I bet everybody in the world that I will. I will eat as healthy as humanly possible. But I'm going to add in yogurt/frozen yogurt to the mix. It's still yogurt! It's good!

Basically my diet plan:
I'm not limiting myself as to what I eat, I'm only changing my day to day plans.
On special occasions, I'm eating whatever the hell I want. Almost always chicken, so no, I'm not a vegetarian.
I'll stop snacking on greasy things, I got crazy acne today and I've had it with that bull crap.
I'm also taking a multivitamin and eating protein bars after I hit the gym, which that time will be added to my schedule.

It's time to improve myself, We got this, body. Work out every other day (or every, if there's down time at the dorm) and let's get ready for the sickest summer ever by looking like a boss.

Then I can get my Tattoo.

When I visit, I'm getting a top notch picture of this.

You should keep this in a portfolio, along with all your other art - Trust me.

Love you, Bro. Keep working hard, you've got it in you.
Anyways, time for ME to do some work. Reading books is hard to find the time to do, but I'll enjoy lying in bed getting comfy. I need a body pillow...

Leja, such a nice word to say, too.

So, I have followers I guess?

I just need to mention that I had 24 posts and 1218 posts and I found how many followers I (theoretically) have. 50.75, Yes, I used a calculator. No I won't do it in my head. But it just makes me come to think about... just who is following me? I didn't know that many people (about) cared about what I had to say. It's like these people want to know what goes on in my head and the things I think about. They're getting to know me BETTER than me. I mean, I remember these things but I never TALK to people about them. I try but they all just awkwardly stare around and pretend they didn't know my blog existed. I'm not sure what to think about it, I just ignore it and not give a damn (That's the right way to be, right?) and move on in the conversation.
I dunno, maybe I just want people to contact me if you're following the blog and why! I also want to know what people like / don't like. So, however it is appropriate, just send me a little message. It'd be actually really cool if you did that.
Oh so no school past 12:00 tomorrow. That's so nice, but I only miss one class, but -
...What?


Oh,
Right... I should shut up now...






*sigh*

sorry...

And We Danced

So I finally actually danced with lady folk this weekend.
I don't know why I've never done it before, maybe it's just because I've never really been a big fan of dancing in general, and I never built the confidence to do it, yet I'm fine with embarrassing myself in public. Who knows why I'm like that. Well anyways, I just want to get down some thoughts.
1st thought - Why go to a party when you're in a relationship and just not dance with people? I bring this up because how boring is it to go out and just... not let loose?
Hear me out - it's good to be in a relationship. It's healthy, it's fun, it's consistent, and (supposed to be) stress-free. Relationships are supposed to make your life better and happier in almost every aspect. But some people take this as a loss of freedom. It isn't. Everyone sees relationships as this huuggeee commitment that has to be just like everyone else's relationships. *Yawn* Boooorrrinnngg. Why not try a more casual relationship that's more fun? I'm thinking about something along the lines of no sleeping with anyone else, but dancing is cool, and flirting is still fine. I mean, this requires a lot of trust, but still. Live a little, we're still young. And anyways, communication is good. If the other person in the relationship is really starting to get feelings for the other, talk it out. Don't make it a game, that just causes drama. Just be open about everything, relax, and go through the roller coaster that is life.
2nd thought - I've realized it's really easy to be ballsy. My best tip of advice, just DO it. If you don't, you're losing another opportunity to be lucky.
I went to a dance with a girl who I thought was cute, I met her earlier this week. We danced a few times, but at one point I was pretty proud of myself, yet it was kinda douchey. Basically in the middle of her dancing with some other dude, I went over to her pretending I had to tell her something. Then I went around the corner and we danced. On a normal day I'd never think of doing that, I'm not sure what came to my mind.
3rd thought - People, going out is NOT about getting absolutely hammered.
Sure the thought of being completely ridiculous sounds cool and all and forgetting what dumb things you did has an excitement behind it, but at what cost? Why not just go out feeling loosey goosey, but still coherent. The night will be just as fun, I promise. Also, it's a LOT better for your health to not guzzle down loads of "dat special drank."

Also, this weekend has made me find such a bigger appreciation for music. Especially with my new speaker setup, which left me just about absolutely broke in the bank. Like, 9 dollars away from getting extra charges. I guess I'm just a lucky guy...
