The world works spherically,
gravity pulls from all angles.
360 degrees of pressure around us,
shaping and pushing our performance.
We enter the world feeble and weak,
we leave it the same.
Beginning at the end,
but that is not to say that nothing ever changes.
each point on a circle is unique,
revolving around our epicenter,
our goal or mission.
our mind and ambition determines our radius.
how far our circle can expand overlapping the lives of others.
influencing the revolution of peers by our own actions,
because it isn't about the beginning or end.
It is about how you enjoyed the ride in-between.
360 degrees of change, of motion and opportunity.
Some enter the world with more influence than others,
but none of that matters when you draw your own path.
The circle of life is more than a cycle.
Orbits, calendars, planets, and stars.
in synch with their own circular rhythm.
Our life works in orbit.
celestial bodies mimic our own,
only when our cycle ends the pattern is not repeated.
Each day begins with an awakening,
every night returns us to that slumber,
from our first breath to our last.
our circadian rhythm revolves.

Walls
If only these walls could talk,
they would scoff and gawk at your strange and awkward body.
They would spread rumors and lies,
and you will look to the sky while God stands idol-ey by
Use cosmetics to make-up for your flaws.
still the horrors leak from the jaws around.
Pressure mounts and they close in for the kill
no where to run the walls surround you.
If only these walls could talk?
Is it the walls that should learn but the people that forget?
Speech is free, but what is the cost?
Happiness, Love, a life?
what came first the liar, or the lies?
regardless, one is immortal, because hatred never dies.
not in the heart of the hated
we have no need for a wordless world,
but for an end to the theory that lies are white
or that words will never hurt me.
with one bullet a soldier can kill a man,
with one sentence a true leader can kill a nation.
Sticks and stone can break few bones while words can start a revolution.

Top Ten Worst Ways To Ask A Girl To Marry You
10. At a Fast Food Restaurant. There is nothing less romantic than a greasy burger with fries. Pulling the old put it in the wine glass trick does not transfer well with a soda op or milkshake. Even if she loves her burgers its not a good idea to ask her to share her life with you their.
9. At a Water Park. Splashing out in the sun is a cute date. seeing your girlfriend in a bathing suit is always good too. Still this is NOT the place to ask her to be with you. She will look like a freak when she gets all teary eyed in the line for the “big slide”. Plus if she says no, you ruin your entire day of fun in the sun.
8. During High School. I do not mean during class, which is also stupid. I am talking about during high school whatsoever. If you are too young to go on and start a career, you are definitely too young to ask for a blushing bride to be.
7. Through One OF Her Friends. Unless your in the 5th grade, this is unacceptable. Man up and ask her you Wussy!
6. Phone Call. Can you here me now? Good, I was wondering if you… are you still there? Babe? oh i thought we dropped the call, anyway will you marry me? Babe? Are you there? Oh well why aren’t you saying anything. Oh well this is awkward. Will you ever marry me? probably not? Oh… ok.
5. Answering machine. Similar to the phone call, but even worse. *Robot Voice* “Message from 654-555-6789, sent February 11th at 2:30. Will you marry me Babe? To play again, press 4 to delete press… you get the point. Don’t do it.
4. Putting The Ring In Any Food She May Swallow. If she doesn't find the ring before chowing down you will be sifting through her royal droppings or out some major cash. Sure it may be a funny story. Well girls want romantic, not funny so don't try it.
3.On Her Way To Deliver A Baby. As glowing as the mother of your child may be and how bad you want this kid to be raised right don't matter here. She is way to emotionally unstable for that to be a good time to ask. After she says yes, and gives birth, post pardon depression will hit and she will probably regret saying yes.
2. Through A Status Update or Tweet. This list may sound ridiculous but all of them have already been done. The way this story ends is with all of the girls friends posting “CONGRADULATIONS!” on her while before she says it and replies “NO!” if you are going to get rejected, you don't want it done on a social networking site.
1. In A Txt Mssge. Hey babe, how lng hve we been 2gether? I thnk its tme we tie the knot. Sweetie, wll u marry me? Epic fail! any girl asked over text should just cry, and not tears of happiness either. That is just lame! If you think about asking a girl that way, consider a lobotomy.

Communism?
America, you put me in a tough spot with the whole 1/4 of Americans being to overweight to pass the physical exam for the military. You are making me decide on what is more morally incorrect for me, the gradual progression towards a totalitarian governmental food system, or the realization that soon Americans will eat themselves into a point where we are literally to fat to defend ourselves. The FDA will move to controlling salt, then they will monitor us too make sure we are eating enough protein, then eventually controlling our diet completely. I guess this is the price we pay for not being mature enough to put down the Twinkies.
National Defense At Risk?
A survey says that 27% of the nation is “Too Fat to fight”. Reports from CNN say that the maximum weight depends on certain variables such as height, but the maximum body fat percentage is 36% for women and 30% percent for men. Those standards are really low, and as a nation we still fail to reach this extremely low bar. So, what does this mean? If there is a draft, a quarter of the people drafted would fail based on weight alone. Our nations security actually depends on America to “shape up”. I was against FDA regulation of salt and trans fat before hearing how irresponsible we are being as human beings. I was a huge supporter of eat what you please, if you want to destroy your body its perfectly fine, but when I heard CNN mention that my safety is at risk because as a nation we are too fat to protect ourselves, well that is just pitiful. Get off the couch America.

Democracy?
Now, back to the matter at hand. America was built on revolution, we are a country born in blood, bound on escaping oppression the fathers of America risked their lives so that others in the country had the right to represent themselves. Now we are stripping that right from people one by one. This article is simply to introduce you to my political views, nothing more. So i will just tell you them, plain and simple. We should not vote on things like gay marriage. I am not saying i support the gays, and I am not saying that I do not. However i am saying it is wrong that non gays get to vote on how gays live their lives. just as it would be wrong to vote on whether or not Muslims can get married. I don't believe religion should have any MORE involvement with the government, but reversing its involvement thus far is absurd. There is no need to anger people about a topic as silly as a few words scribbled on our currency, how about Washington focuses on something that matters, like the war, or North Korea having a missile that can reach California. My basic mindset is survival of the fittest, laissez-faire, rugged individualism. Look for updates on politics soon, and expect the above beliefs to sneak there way in.

4th Generation iPhone Leak
The leaked 4th Generation iPhone prototype is the real deal. Gizmodo thoroughly investigated the leak and confirmed it. They could not boot the leaked phone out of safe mode, so some secrets are still to come from the 4th Generation of the iPhone. What we do know is that it is thinner and has a longer battery. Other updates such as a camera on the front AND a better camera on the back with flash. A second microphone designed for noise cancelation was added. Also a higher resolution display along with the new MicroSIM slot that is included in the new iPad. It sounds like Apple is really stepping it up when it comes the 4G iPhone, which is great considering the hatred inspired by all the flaws in the recently released iPad.
Top Ten Most Dangerous Things to Do… Naked!
10. Running on a Treadmill. Jogging in place cant be that dangerous right? Whoa… this thing goes pretty fast. I should slow this thing down a little so I don't *slips* OWW, it burns, it burns so bad!
9. Jumping on a Trampoline. Trampolines are fun right? So is being naked, but these two things go together like Peanut Butter and Motor oil. What could be the problem? Especially if there are some cute girls around to join in? Well, the simple answer is… there are some things that shouldn't be caught in those springs.
8. Paintball. Enough said.
7. Riding a bike. Moving metal, high speeds, rotating chain, and the chafing, ohhh the chafing. You can scratch riding a bike off your naked to do list, you wont miss a thing.
6. Resisting arrest. Cops do not want to touch a naked guy, commit any crime, when the cops show up they will have their tazer in hand. They want taze a running naked guy just as bad as the rest of us. The problem is that they are allowed to.
5. Go to a Sexaholics meeting. You might as well just poke an alligators tongue, or wear a meat necklace in a lions den.
4. Start a foundation for homeless cats. If you have had a cat you know how much they love things that hang and swing. Its almost as much as they love jumping out of hiding places and scratching the hell out of any exposed skin. Your in a world full of hurt if your a nudist cat lover.
3. Cook Bacon. Hot grease, fire, a really hot skillet, and lots of bare skin. That is possibly the worst combination I have ever heard of concerning food and nudity.
2. Work at a zoo. Like the cat shelter, but with bigger cats, and Monkeys… and bears. Realistically anyone stupid enough to do this wont need what is at risk anyway. Still you can see the risk involved when naked in a cage with a mountain lion. Even if the cat just “wants to play” have you seen the claws on those things?
1. Work in a factory. Moving automated machinery will not stop for private parts, so think twice before trying to clear that jam in station twelve naked. Also, conveyor belts, they are like treadmills, but faster.

"The bad boy" image
For starters, I'm sorry I had not gotten any advice columns posted before now. I'm glad you commented and asked for a specific piece of advice, and I actually prefer it this way.
Girls are very confusing. I'm not sure guys were made to understand them completely. I feel I am one of the few guys in the world that understand them the most. I have numerous lady friends that keep me updated day to day on their guy issues and their thoughts. I feel I need to establish that I have creditable information and can actually be helpful.
First of all most girls are attracted to the "bad boy" image. Not very many know exactly why they are attracted to that type of guy. I think I know why. They have that feeling of protection, and know that no one will mess with their boyfriend. Also, they climb the social ladder a lot faster, because they know that their boyfriend is at the top of the food chain.
However, girls are more attracted to a guy that will treat them with respect. If you want this girl for the long run you can't treat her like dirt, instead she needs to know that you think she is a princess. However, this does not mean you tell her flat out. When you ask if a girl likes a "standoffish" guy the answer is both yes and no. Think of it this way, no one treats something free like it is worth while, think about a time you recieved a free gift from a company, or some school funtion, it was probably a crappy Yo-Yo or the equivilent. Well your love is the same way, if you simply give it away, they expect a crappy Yo-Yo, so demonstrate how much you can love them, but make them earn it. Before I was dating my girlfriend, I made jokes about things I would do if she upgraded to the "Premium package" (aka starts dating me) this made her feal like there was more she should work for, therefore she desired the "Premium package" that much more.
So basically, what I am trying to say, is make her earn your love. That will build a true relationship. Sure changing who you are might land you a girl for maybe, 3 weeks, but if its a relationship your working for you want to be yourself. Only then will you find the girl YOU really love. About being "standoffish" again don't be fake, sure make her know that there is more to be earned, and that once she earns it she will be treated like a princess, but dont be a jerk and act uninterested. That tactic will get you no were. So just remember be yourself, but dont give yourself away.

Assassination Could Have Been Avoided
Former Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto was killed by a fifteen year old suicide bomber, after returning from a period of exile to run in the countries general elections. According to a three man investigation commission the incident “could have been avoided”. The blame for the murder was placed on Baitullah Mehsud a Taliban leader with ties to Al Qaeda . (CNN News)
The article continues to talk about a lack in the police force in preserving evidence and how a wide range of officials who blatantly failed in protecting Ms. Bhutto, a variety of factors contributed to her losing her life and of course individuals will be punished for there lack of protection over her. My question is, haven't we said nearly every disaster “could have been avoided” sure her security could have been tighter but JFK’s car could have had a roof too. The men stationed at Pearl Harbor could have lined the planes up differently or listened for the warning signs. The airport security for the 9/11 attacks could have been tighter too. Until our defense system includes seeing into the future, we will never expect the unexpected. If by some chance something goes wrong everyone already knows that it “could have been avoided”. Is the news that “Security could have been tighter” a real shocker to anyone? The point is that this was an act of terrorism, and a suicide bomber is obviously willing to risk anything to kill their target.
Unless Ms. Bhutto was kept in an underground bunker for the remainder of her life, we can guess that if the attack fell through this time a more elaborate one would be taken. If the ring leader of the operation which ended Ms. Bhutto’s life truly had ties to the
Al Qaeda, we know from first hand experience that if they really want her dead, they will find a way. Even if they need to fly a plane into a building to do so. The real way to prevent attacks like these is to do a better job at seeking out and killing the groups responsible. Why is America the only one taking it on themselves to do so?

Iron Man Two
May 7th Iron man two hits the big screen, the question is will it live up to the first ones unexpected greatness? Everyone predicted another typical superhero movie, but what they got was a phenomenal display of not only special effects but also a wonderful plot with a dynamic and loveable character. What people really liked was seeing an old comic hero’s story being shifted to fit current events of the day.
However now they expect greatness, but will the story pack the same punch as the first one? I predict a flop, if you remember the end to Iron Man One Tony Stark announces that he is “Iron Man” following comic tradition. So we can guess the will continue to follow suite in number 2. We can predict Tony to be an alcoholic, and other similarities between the comics, but will the be able to keep the time change effective? If you remember comic Iron Man was captured in Vietnam, and they switched that to being captured by terrorists. will other changes flow so smoothly? Will they be able to keep believable villains? I guess I will have to wait till its release to find out
15 Things to do… When there is nothing to do
2. Invent a game, be creative and silly. The crazier the better
3. Make a random video. Play multiple characters with different costumes for each.
4. Learn to dance, Youtube has some great videos for beginners.
5. Go to nike.com and create a shoe, even if you don't buy them, see if you can make the coolest shoe. Then try and make the ugliest ones you can.
6. Shop at Goodwill, they have the most interesting things, maybe you can pick up a calendar from 2005.
7. Go to the park and sit next to people, then make strange noises or actions to see what they do.
8. Write a story, be creative. Lose yourself in a land of make believe.
9. Watch your favorite movie from when you where a kid, see if you still like it.
10. Go through assignments you kept from grade school, if you kept any that is.
11. Use paint to draw on peoples pictures who you hate.
12. Practice writing and drawing with your non-dominant hand
13. Learn how to do something new. Or learn something cool like how an engine works.
14. Make one of those really cool flip books.
15. Read my blog some more : )

Top Ten!
I decided that I will be writing a top ten each week, it will give this blog some actual content while i work on making better tutorials. that way you have more to read about than my rather uneventful life. the top tens will be added each Tuesday. starting today!
Today’s top ten: most disgusting places on school campus
10. The Bathrooms, surprising to some people this is on the bottom of the list, however due to recent budget cuts this is probably the only room still cleaned on a semi regular basis.
9. The classrooms, slimy desks coated with oil and sweat and drool of other people bump the classroom up above the bathrooms. You go in a bathroom knowing what happens there, but it is easy to forget the disgusting things people do to their desks. Clean it all you want we all forget about the mountains of gum on the bottom and often touch them.
8. The Library, people take these books home, where do many Americans catch up on their literature? That’s right, on the John. the Library is like a rental store for used fecal matter, Grab the Lysol!
7. The nurses office, diarrhea, coughing, barf and that gross kid in science class who goes everyday for unexplained reasons. All of this and more found in the nurses office. Still even the school infirmary is no match for number one of the list.
6. The locker room, nudity and pranks make this room and easy number six on the list. stagnant water from showers just aid the horror story stench that fills the air when entering a locker room.
5. The weight room, sweat and freshmen who think they are tough fill the weight room. nobody wipes down any station when the finish and even worse, the big sweaty ape like football players always want to chest bump or jump on everything.
4. The Cafeteria, seriously, budget cuts again? What could possibly be cheaper than the rotting garbage they already feed us?
3. Football storage room, fermenting sweat from games played last year seal in this room all year, only to be released when everyone comes to gather their gear for the new season. the stench rolls out like the smell of death from a crypt. Was that a rat?
2. Drinking fountains, they are coated in spit wads, gum, random unidentifiable slimes and lime scale. It is gross, enough said.
1. The Wrestling room, being a wrestler I know first hand the wrestling room is the most disgusting room in the school. Sweat of 14 varsity wrestlers and however many the room will fit of Junior varsity kids trying to take your spot from the Varsity line up, the mat is coated with enough sweat to use it like a slip and slide. with no exaggeration I can honestly say there is mist in the air like after a shower, consisting entirely of human perspiration and dedication.
That is this weeks top ten : )

Twilight Questions
1. Vampires are pail skinned right? What about the black one? You know the bad guy?
2. While we are talking about the black one, are his sparkles black when he walks into the sun?
3. Edward believes he has no soul, and yet he has enough morals to not eat Bella?
4. The one blonde one, her power is to be extraordinarily beautiful. Didn’t the first like five scenes establish all vampires are? Did Stephenie Meyer run out of powers?
5. What if a werewolf where to get a bite that would turn him into a vampire?
6. Why the hell would the Vampires want to stay secret? They seem pretty invincible they could have their own nation
7. Another thing about the whole secrecy thing, even if you say you’re a vampire who will believe you?
8. Wasn’t this already done? I think it’s called Romeo and Juliet?
How to be funny
1. Know your audience! If you are in a group of high class people a poop joke will bring nothing but embarrassment. Make sure you know what type of people you are dealing with before you start cracking jokes.
2. Know yourself! Comedy comes in so many forms; one must be in touch with his own personality before he/she decides to aspire toward comedy. Know your confidence level; some comedians like Dane Cook rain supreme in confidence while others like Jim Gaffigan make fun of how big of losers they are.
3. Know your jokes! There is nothing more annoying than someone who doesn’t finish a joke… seriously
4. Don’t tell a joke unless you absolutely love it! It is about quality not quantity think of that kid you known who never talks but whenever he does his jokes are perfect. Now think of that annoying kid who shouts out every joke he thinks of. Who would you rather be?
5. Don’t stop if you start to get on a roll! Until you have a joke that flops don’t stop if you landed a couple great ones. This is what the quiet kid from earlier lacks.
Well there you go, anything else is just natural. Make sure not to sound rehearsed when being humorous it just sounds desperate

12 Angry Men
Anyway, it was my first part in any play. I was the co-star, I actually had more lines than the star, and I kept the audience on the edge of their seats the entire time. With the tremendous help of George Nunez as number 8 we made the stabbing seen so intense people in the audience actually screamed out in terror. For a high school play we couldnt have asked for more.

Earth? What Earth?
Still we continue to do it. no matter who speaks up, no matter what they say we don’t even so much as slow our destruction. It seems like the massive green movement that came around the same time of Obama's promises of change, has derailed early. Seriously, when will we take any real action toward preservation? The time for change has come and gone. I won’t write a novel based on this because… well what good has it done when anyone else did. No too many people talk and too few people act. Sadly as a student I can’t do much. I try to email my work to my teachers to conserve paper but they always print the damn thing out to grade me. I also find it incredibly hard to remember to recycle. I use recycled product but besides that don’t do much. What are some great ways to save the environment?
