As basketball season for the girl comes to a wrap I made an observation. The girls fouled more than the boys did! It seems every other second there was a foul on someone. The boys were making fouls only when they needed but the girls. Woah:). So I was wondering if maybe girls are more agressive than guys when it comes to sports. Except of course for sports such as kick boxing and hockey because ladies are not allowed to check. Girls can be very viscious though, on and off the court. Have you seen the movie "Mean Girls"? When it comes to basketball girls seem to be more aggressive because they feel the need to prove themselves to every skeptic that physical contact sports are not for girls. I know I used to feel that way when I played basketball. It makes sense though? Just imagine if really really muscular girls played wrestling? Then the coaches wouldn't say wrestling is just for the boys!

Lonliness

You make me smile like the sun
Fall outta bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

I am biased. I think everyone should be an extrovert. You know the saying about how someone can feel alone in a crowded room? I don't agree with that. If you feel alone you need to get your butt out there and start looking for people with simila intrests. No one should feel lonly when there are people all around them to talk to. Instead of throwing a pity party for yourself, make friends. And besides. If they think you're too weird then drop them. You don't know them!:) I don't like to be alone some days.. then on others I don't want ANYONE around me. So I guess being alone is sometimes needed to keep your sanity.

Friendship.

Friendship

Friendship. All is fair in love and war? Does that go for friendship, too? I think it does. You'll have your ups and your downs but that's what you have each other for. A friendship starts with finding things you have in common with another person. In my opinion, everyone could be friends with everyone because I doubt two people don't have at least one thing in common with each other. Friendship is also serious. To call yourself a true friend is to prove it by your actions. If your friend is having a rough day it's part of your job to make sure  you are there for them if they need someone to vent to. If your friendship is based on inside jokes, your friendship is frankly a joke! Make sure you two can have serious discussions about things as well as joke around about the kid who farted in gym class during sit-ups. Friendship is very important in a world filled with unnecessary pressures. This may have been an all-over-the-place blog but I truly believe friendship is a key part to staying sane in this world.

Waking up at 6 in the morning is a hassle when you have to be to school at a certain time. Especially when you're a girl! You have to straighten your hair, put your contacts in, do your makeup, not to mention pick out your outfit! Whenever i have to be at school before normal school hours is for show choir, jazz band, or church. all of those times are 7:15. Nights can get late when you bring home lots of homework. I don't remember the last time I didn't have homework in math. I wish... that I could just take seven periods of a mixture of photography, gym, choir, and band. If I took three hours of gym I'd be in great shape! I'd be ready to kick butt when tennis season comes around. I would like to have one period of photography because I love using Photoshop and taking pictures and making my own thing with them. I would choose a period of choir because your voice goes with you you whole life! And singing can get you fa with anyone because music is universal. I would also choose band because I love playing my trombone. Not a lot of girls play trombone but when we do we're great ;). I get sad when I think about graduating because when am I going to play a trombone outside of school? It's not like say, a trumpet when you can pick it up and play a popular song. I can't just say "Oh you want some music? Here, let me whip out my trombone and play something for you!" Nope. That would be kind of social suicide.

Intelligence

Intelligence is very important in everything you do because where are you going to get in life if you don't know how to get there? There are a lot of young kids these days who could use a good dose of intelligence... the ones who thinks its just awesome to get drunk or high every weekend. And the ones who sleep around every other day. They just don't know or choose to ignore the facts staring them in the face about what they're doing. Anyways back to intelligence, sweetie with the great hair and face you can't rely on your looks all your life. You gotta' get some brains behind that beauty. College is very expensive yes but it is a great opportunity and some great paying jobs won't look at you twice if you don't have the degree of school they're looking for. Even though you're completely capable of doing the job, if you don't have the degree to back it up, you have nothing. You may be able to sew up a mean cut but if you didn't go to school for it forget it! Even if you can argue to win your case if you didn't take the Bar test you can't be taken seriously as a lawyer. Remember to use your intelligence! ;)

I love Pandora. Pandora is an internet radio. You can also get it as an app for your iPod... like i've done! You can also choose your favorite playlists. The playlists I have chosen are the oldies but goodies. I love music from the 50s on up. In Jazz Band we're playing a lot of these songs. Such as Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond and Barbara Ann. It's nice to hear the actual songs that we're playing in their original format with the words as well. I have been listening to a lot of Buddy Holly and Elvis. I did see the movie about Buddy Holly way back when but have never really listened to his music and now I appreciate his songs. Love songs are also really popular with me, right now I am listening to Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper. Had I not gotten Pandora I would have only known this song from Napolean Dynamite. Sad huh? Yes. I prefer old songs over any of the songs going on now which are so vulgar they would make grandma sick. Ah, Piano Man by Billy Joel is on next! Anyways, I like to listen to these songs when I don't feel like getting called "shawty" in the newest songs out.

Work Ethic

A good work ethic is important to have around the age 16, because this is the time teenagers should be getting a job. A bad work ethic can mess up your resume for a long time. Say, if you showed up to work late every day and eventually got fired, when you apply for a new job they will call your old job to see if you're a good worker..... but your not! and you won't get hired. Awesome right? No. Get a good work ethic so you can be on good terms with your boss and be more eligible for a raise or promotion. Now what is a good work ethic you ask? A good work ethic is when you show up on time for work, (maybe even early) dress appropriately, actually do what you're supposed to do, and have a good attitude toward all. Showing up to work on time is necessary because you're probably being paid by the hour so you need to get there so you can earn all you're supposed to. Why is dressing appropriately important for work? Because clothes are sometimes statements of who you are and some people can be easily offended by it. Or you might attract too much negative attention by uh.... barely dressing! When you're at work you need to do all you can to help show your boss you are dedicated to what you do. Your attitude is extremely important in the work place because if you are happy you wont dread waking up early in the morning and no one will dread working with you.
