I’m feeling butterflies at the moment. Tomorrow, I need to get my AP Physics teacher to sign my ‘drop out’ form. Since I’m dropping the class. It makes me feel bad, but I really must. I’m switching into some sort of Sociology class that I haven’t taken. The only class available for third hour that I haven’t taken.
It seems my high school life as a senior is not making my home life easier. More and more often I find myself frustrated. That is probably due to the fact that I’m a teenager and get easily frustrated with everything around me. The whole ‘attitude’ thing. Well, it’s still hard on the teenager, too.
Anyways I thought I’d post something, but I’m too frustrated to do as such.
It seems to me that I post more often than not to rant. I hope I’m not offending anyone who happens to read this blog.
Today, I have again found myself frustrated. With the Democratic candidates for presidency. It seems the big names won’t be coming to Michigan and that ticks me off. What right do they have to just brush us off? Our votes do count, whether they like to think so or not. Politicians, in general, usually disgust me, but I thought that this was just sad. There doesn’t seem to be any sort of reason for Obama and Clinton not coming to Michigan, it’s not like we’re a pack of rabid dogs or something. Besides, maybe there are people here who they could have won over by making one simple speech. It’s just frustrating, because this is an insult to my state. They, to me, seem to be saying that Michigan is not important enough for them to bother. Although New Hampshire was...That is just crap and I hate them for it.
The problem is, the democrats don’t look half as evil to me as most of the republicans do. I’ve already chosen my favorite candidate, but I’m not voting in the primaries, so I’ll just wait and see who comes out on top. Then I’ll decide who I’m going to vote for. For, I am going to be of voting age this year and I want to be able to have my say instead of helplessly watching the debates and then watching the country screw itself over for another four years like I did in 2004. Not that my vote is going to make a huge deal, it’s just one among millions, but it’ll make me feel better. For I’ll feel that at least I got my say, even if the country decides to screw itself over once again. But then, this meanness comes from the fact that, because of Bush, I’m not too happy with the Republicans at the moment. And the Democrats have ticked me off. Life sucks, but you just have to deal with it.
I was looking at a bunch of videos put up by atheists and christians alike. Oh, look at that, my PC wants me to capitalize ‘christians’, but not atheists. How odd. Moving on, back to the topic at hand.
I was wandering around Youtube, lead there by a post on my father’s blog and watching various videos, a lot of which were flaming atheists for daring to have an opinion, some even went so far as to say that atheists needed to stop being allowed to put videos up. Now that just disgusted me. Of course, I found it somewhat ironic that all these christians, yelling and complaining about the atheists, were doing the same thing they claimed everyone was doing to them. They wanted to take away other people’s rights to free speech.
One atheist made a good point in his video. He explained that the reason atheists didn’t just shut up is because they also deserved the right to speak up about their views. One girl, a christian, said that atheists weren’t saving people and, to me, she basically said that logic had no advantage. Now that is just kind of sad.
Honestly, I sometimes just don’t get why some religious people won’t let others talk about their views without trying to rip them down. And they wonder why so many people ridicule them these days.
I, myself, have not been able to make that big step into pure atheism. It’s scary to think that one will cease to exist. I mean, I can accept the facts, and I don’t believe in any sort of religion, so maybe that makes me an atheist. Unfortunately, weak as I am, I’d prefer to think that a person doesn’t die completely.
