It's raining men

Having strep throat has taught me lessons that are very valuable :
1. Makeup Homework sucksssssssss
2. You sound like a man.



Every weekend our band goes to marching band competitions (just for the losers that had know clue that we compete). And this weekend in particular, i had JUST started getting over it.... but then there was the rain. That made me sound like a man. So as the rain was coming down on my sick self i decided to sing the song "It's raining men" written by Paul Jabara and Paul Shaffer (and sang by the Weather Girls). I repeated the lines:
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!

Everyone seemed to enjoy it so much, i just kept speaking it in my manly voice.

alright, well that is all.

The duck face

Duckface is a phenomena only known to teenagers ages 13-19. Also older women (usually ages 39-50) do this to look beautiful/attractive, when it only makes them look older and creepy. Usually the younge adults grow out of the "duck face" stage at the age of 20 or so, they realize how rediculous they look; young men and women do this and don't realize how bad of an influence it is on younger children. It makes them question at what age that "sex appeal" is really important. This also encourages sexual predators on the internet, so i advise people don't take revealing photos. Fellow digital journalism students have helped me get pictures of generally what these photos look like:




This is the duck face, but this is what you REALLY look like






This is the dog toung face, but this is what you REALLY look like






This is the moose hands face, but this is what you REALLY look like



Now that i've made my point,please keep in mind what you're posting on the internet. And parents, you should scan what their children are posting on here. I see some things on websites such as facebook, myspace, and twitter, that no parent would approve of.

Brushing your teeth is a hard task

I live a semi busy life. Being a teenager can be hard work if you're in an extra curricular activity. Since no footballs, basketballs, pom pom's, etc. aren't used, people don't really consider marching band a sport. But in fact, it really is: Us band kids get injuries from practicing to ya'know. Even myself just got injured. I somehow managed to sprain my wrist yesterday while practicing. Out of the 3 years of marching band i have participated in , I have never injured myself until this year. Playing marimba everyday practicing something, playing piano, drumming, and extreme amounts of homework, have stressed my wrist out to where it is now unable to be used. I can't even brush my teeth with the hand i normally use. Now i have to use my left hand, and that's extremely awkward. Sad face -> :(
