Am I Completely Oblivious?!?!

Am I Completely Oblivious?!?!

Call me old fashioned, but I really don't understand society today. Well actually, don't call me old fashioned, I'll be very offended, but regardless. Without getting completely into all that bewilders me (partially because I'm not ready for the flack I'd get), but how is it that nothing that was formally regarded as special or traditional or classy has gone out the window?

Society says you can do whatever you want without consequence, as long as it's not hurting anybody else. Marriage, what was once such a sacred commitment has now been dwindled down to "it's just a piece of paper". Uh no, no it's not just a piece of paper. If it were just a piece of paper, I don't think people would be fighting so hard for equality in marriage. No longer is marriage important since everyone can "live in sin" or do whatever else they want. Hey, we've made 16 and Pregnant one of MTV prime shows (not gonna lie, it is one of my favourites-- I'm fuelling what I despise). Even dating relationship have been degraded. Even in my own life, amongst my own friends, I feel like I'm behind, or a child, or a prude! But am I? Am I a sheltered prude for having values.

People get offended by the slightest things, and god forbid you deny them of one of their "rights", but who cares how anyone is treated. One can act any which way; sleeping around is "no big deal", drinking is just a normal part of being young, nothing has any importance or value.  Nothing is what it once was. I read the book Classy by Derek Blasberg, and his motto is classy not trashy. Most of his points seem like common sense, to me, but when I brought them up with some peers it's like alien!

Basically my rant has been a long time coming. Just in talking with friends, I feel either like a child or an 80 year old woman saying "KIDS THESE DAYS!" and shaking my fist. But, maybe I am. Maybe I just don't see things the way the world does, the way society wants us to think. When I say I don't like to go out, I mean it. I'm not thinking down on people who do, or think I'm better than them, I just think there are better things to do.

I was not the 19 year old who was beyond stoked to go and get wasted, or thrilled that I could go to bars. I'm just not that person. I'm the person that wonders what happened to society. I'm the person who watches old shows on TV Land or Deja Vu and thinks how simple things were and the vulgar things of those times are nothing today. Society has changed, but has it changed for the better? I don't think so. I think by the time my children are the age I am now, the world will be a bunch of chaotic, slutty, classless hell. What is the world coming to? I certainly don't want to find out.

Well there's my rant. Who knows. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm jaded.

Living in the Library

Living in the Library

Alright, so I've been on a brief hiatus from... well I guess life. The past week (after the trip to Toronto) been nuts! School, being the huge killjoy that it is, has taken over my life. In reality I should be writing a paper on Jesus right now, but obviously I'd rather blog.

This week has also been filled with MAD drama. Haha I'm not even going to bother writing it on here because it's too much. Let's just say MTV! You should give me my own reality show because this stuff is gold and is going to waste here! And now that I'm no longer in high school, but still have to deal with crazy high school drama, I think I should be atleast getting some ca$h moniez for my pain. I've started thinking of names for this reality show, so really MTV, CALL ME!

I'm actually laughing right now just thinking of the drama and events of the past few days- which is kind of awkward since I'm sitting in a silent library and randoms keep staring at me. Ha ha.

Back to writing this paper...

Phones and Pens

Phones and Pens

I just realized I have MAJORLY been failing my goal to write in my journal everyday!! Since the year has started I think I've made... 5 entries?? So that's 5 entries in 14 days. FAIL! I'm still going to try and catch up on this goal, hopefully I do better over the rest of the year.

A few entries ago I wrote about "moving on", well it's happened and I couldn't be happier about it!! Really it's a lot easier to move on from people and their drama when they make a great effort in helping you out. In the past few days it has been like there have been two roads: the road of drama, regrets, doubts, and the past, and A NEW ROAD!! On the first road there have been major flashing neon red flags basically saying to steer clear so the new road it is! And let me tell you, this new road without the silly obstacles has been way more fun!! :)This new road has also caused me to meet new people and try new things. Next new thing on the agenda: stop being so shy and talk to certain people ;) Ha ha, we'll see how it goes.

Finally, as it is Thursday, it's Jersey Shore night... BUT I MISSED IT!!! Why? Because I opted to hang out with some friends who chose to make several... interesting phone calls. Definitely was something I haven't seen since grade 5, but hey to each his own, right...

January is half over and the 2nd week of school is coming to a close-- it's almost the WEEKEND! Reading week is fast approaching and I think I've figured out a splendid plan for it! I'll keep ya posted on my awesome plans for the week off school.
