A complaint

Against my high school. They had their issues but none I've seen more than their issues with PDA (public display of affection). You see we did not hold hands in public at my high school and we did not kiss or even give a hug that may have been interpreted as risque. If you were caught you were given a nice slip of paper saying you were receiving a detention and what the offense was. Wonderful. Well the answer: Do everything in secret. Hide behind corners, hold hands under tables, etc. Well I have recently realized that this type of rule enforcement has ruined me and my fellow peers. We were constricted so tightly that we never really progressed form the relationship mentality we were forced to have then. Then as we left we found a sort of freedom. With that we went wild and free. Sure we went about it the wrong way but we were free. Free to show we cared. Some though reacted in extreme ways that changed their lives where they're either married and/or have children now. Well, I've noticed in college things are different in many different ways. People go freely and it is not in a manner where we are eating faces or cleaning them like a lioness cleans her cubs. They just calmly went along, holding hands, talking, lightly kissing and so on. Its a normal, acceptable thing though obvious face cleaning is not allowed. Its just such a carefree environment where though enforced in a manner it is acceptable amongst everyone. I feel this is the way society is accepting of how much PDA is allowed outside. I feel perhaps if my highschool were a bit more lenient on their rules maybe everyone would not have been so secretive and ended up in the situation they are in today. Those years are pivital in a young persons life in experiencing romance and those feelings and then to go off and restrict them in boundaries that sort of suffocate them from expressing themselves. I'm not syaing let them have free reign or anything but at least be a little more lenient on how they can express themselves. Hand holding, hugging sure okay and if you want maybe kissing but if not then that is fine too since maybe you want some limitations but taking away any form of expression that is physical? I mean if you are afraid of them ending up doing something you might as well make sure they never say hello to each other in meeting since even hello can lead to any of the incidents that can happen. My school has sort of stunted our romantic growth from learning any of the lessons we could from failed relationships or long term relationships. Then when you are free you go crazy and let those hormones rage ou.

Technologic...

In today's day and age we have many different items to help keep usin touch. Phones, computers, emails, text messaging, etc. One thing though that I've noticed that has been starting to be forsaken is the human side of it all. How often do we sit down to have face to face conversations in our busy lives? We skip spending times with our friends and family and use a little text message or email to catch up. Well in my experience that only goes so far. I have messaged man peole and texted them to only have them suddenly disappear. Why? Not everyone will be on their pone 24/7 or on their email so right there the quick and easy way you found becomes a little more complicated. Really what I want to say is that we need to just stop sometimes to say hello or to grab a quick chat and see each other face to face because a digitized screen can only go so far. Cut out the machine and embrace the human. We're more than a phone.

Never enough

Time. You ever hear that? I find it to be true as of late. Why? Well now that I commute to school and no longer live on campus I find it hard to keep track of friends. Life has happened and everyone is busy. My friend who is a biochem major for instance has 6 hours of lab Mondays and Wednesdays. So I never get to really see him though I do occasionally run into him. Just one of the many examples of me never seeing my friends and it sucks. I really wish I could see them more often but everyone has a busy schedule and it seems more and more like we never see anyone. I think life has just been picking up and we have no real time right now. So hopefully things will slow down and we'll be able to hang out more and if not there's always next semester.

I seriously need...

A new camera. My old one went bye-bye when I unfortunately cracked the screen. Well that wasn't so bad I could still take pictures up until a while ago when it will turn on but that's it. No more picture taking which sucks. So I have been on a search for a new camera. I've only owned the one which was a Canon so I thought I'd stick with that and have gone on a search. I've decided I want an awesome camera to take awesome pics. Problem is awesome camera equals awesome money. So I have to wait till I find work and save up for a few years since I also need money for school. Oh the joys of money. I think i did find a camera so now all I have to do is wait till i can afford it. I hate waiting.

So this is new...

Yes this actually a new blog I have created. i felt my first blog "Ramblings" was getting a bit too full so I decided to start some here. Don't get me wrong I will still blog in Ramblings at times I just didn't want it to look like my full focus was there so now I am trying to edit up drafts and post them in my others as well. I may be also transferring some posts from Ramblings but not so sure yet. Well till I post more please enjoy my other blogs and leave comments or suggestions.

Thank you.
