Thanksgiving

I had an okay Thanksgiving. I'm very tired, yet I didn't really accomplish anything all this last week. After last week's game, I slept till 3 PM Saturday and lounged. Sunday is always my football day. Monday we worked on my room, painting my closet and my doors. That took awhile. I didn't have a door for Monday night or Tuesday night because the paint had to dry. Tuesday I went to see Twilight with my friends. It was AWESOME! Wednesday I went to my Granny's to help her with Thanksgiving and stayed the night with her. We got up early to cook, watched the parade (thank god I get to go 362 more days till I have to see it again), and then football. After dinner we all passed out, and then went home. Friday we got up early to go shopping. Wal-Mart at 7 AM on Black Friday, NOT FUN! We went to Belk's afterwards and it was a little less crowded. After shopping, it was time to head to school to get on the bus to go to Gwinnet County for the game. The game sucked, but I'm glad for the boys, they did a good job and have kept improving as time has gone on. Saturday and Sunday were almost the same as last week.

Martin for Senate!

Shocking Sex Survey

• On average, girls are losing their virginity at 15 years of age.

This is maybe the least shocking thing here, not that that's saying much. I think those that rush into sex are doing themselves a diservice. I've already decided to wait till I feel I'm ready, and I highly doubt someone who's 15 is ready.

• 14 percent of teens who are having sex say they’re doing it at school.

Once again, doesn't surprise me. A LOT of people show up to school early or late to go "hang out" with their BF/GF in the parking lot.

• 52 percent of survey respondents say they do not use protection when having sex.

I think this is a direct result of the almost complete collapse of Sex Ed I've mentioned before in this blog. There are a lot of ignorant teenagers who don't even consider using condoms.

• One in three says she fears having a sexually transmitted disease.

Well there having unprotected sex, so they should.

• 24 percent of teens with STDs say they still have unprotected sex.

Well they are the, excuse this word, sluts that spread herpes and crabs and then have 3 kids by their 20th birthday.

• One in five girls says she wants to be a teen mom.

Read the above answer.

• About 50 percent acknowledge that they’ve hit someone.

That's sad. They should just be ashamed of themselves.

• One out of three teens has tried drugs.

I'm surprised it's not higher.

Passwords

I think all of your passwords should be confidential all the time. I've never told anyone any of my passwords, and I never intend to. I've never asked anyone for their passwords either.

Free Write

I got a short little job today. I get to drive Mr. Myers to Tifton tomorrow to pick up his new car. It's a 2 hour roundtrip and I get $30. I think it's worth it.

Jonestown Anniversary

30 years ago Jim Jones was a cult leader in California and also had a place in Guyana, South America. His groupies killed several U.S. officials on an airstrip in Guyana, including a U.S. Congressman. This was the last time a Congressman was killed in the line of fire. After the cult killed the group, he convinced his folloers, more than 900 to committ mass suicide by injesting rat poison. It was an act to avoid capture. It was the largest mass suicide in history and also the largest death rate from an unnatural event leading up to the September 11th terrorist attacks.

Trojan Win

On Friday, the weather was miserable. It was wet, muggy, and turning cold. The Bus ride was uncomftorable to say the least. At least I had a seat to myself, but still every time we got off or on the bus, new dirt, mud, and wet grass found its way unfortunately close to my pillow and blanket. We went all the way from Douglas to Henry County, Georgia (4+ hours) without stopping. Besides everyone dealing with the "uncomftorable" situation, everyone on our bus had to deal with the girl who peed in a cup and spilled it on the floor. EEEEWWWW! Not kidding. The stands at the stadium were soaked. This freshman loser stepped on mine and my friend's poncho (we were sitting on them to keep our clothes dry) several times. But none of it mattered. The Trojans won and I was completely extatic. I can't wait for this week's game, and I would LOVE to go to the state championship. Go Trojans Go!

Start My Own Business

If I could start my own business, it would be to open my own Chiropractic Office. Being a chiropractor is something I've thought about doing, it would be the only medical job I would consider. Other than a Medical Office, I don't think I would be very adept at owning my own business.
