People suck.

There’s no other way to say it! You can fancy it up any way you like but it all ends up being a snotty more polite version of that statement. Do you know who really bug me? High school friends. When you’re in high school you have to endure 5 years of being thier friends. The only ways out are death and switching schools. Sometimes neither is an option. Sure most say they are your friends, but beneath that smile and sympathetic tone lies a bunch of lies!
I really should be more specific then I am being at the moment. Females suck. Yes the one gender as a whole. That’s why I chose a long time ago to have only male friends and confide in males and only certain females… like my mother… that is about it. Females are full of sympathy. Always ready to try and make you feel better. All they while getting as much gossip they can while you are in a vulnerable state. Not only that, they give you that reassuring smile while telling you they are your best friend and are only there to protect you from the harmful matters of the world. I should know, I am female. I’ve had the temptation to do such horrible things, but I have refrained because I know how it feels to be in the position of the one getting the sympathy. Almost all females have been on both ends, but still all females want to do is backstab each other to make themselves feel better.
Example #1: My best friend, one of them at least (isn’t it funny that there should be more then one just in case something like this happens?), has always told me that I am just the best person. She told me that I would always be her best friend because we get along so well together. Somewhere along the way we had become best friends. I think it happened because she said it so much.
About 9 months into a relationship, I hear from my boyfriend that this best friend of mine had asked him out several times over a period of a month or two. All the while she was telling me that I am the best girlfriend and that my boyfriend and I look so good together. She was telling me that she hopes I always stay with him. Those words mean absolutely nothing now.
The worst thing about this situation is that I never got a chance to slap her for trying to steal my boyfriend. I did not even get the chance to confront her about what she did. She had had the nerve to beg my boyfriend not to tell me about what happened. She made him promise her. He kept the promise for a while, but found it hard to keep it from me. He felt I needed to know so he told me everything. I was shocked when I found out and even more appalled that she had expected him not to mention these details to me.
Yet of course she still is my friend. When I see her I smile and ask how she has been. Ask about the latest gossip and laugh along with her. I had promised my boyfriend that I would not confront her. She has stopped chasing him and I do not feel like having enemies. My revenge is the knowledge I have him and she doesn’t. I also figure that people like her will get what they deserve and I am not the one who should dish out the vengeance on them, life will do as it pleases with their rotting souls.
In high school friends and enemies are often the same. Enemies are the ones you call your friends, but ultimately despise and would rather see homeless sitting in a Dumpster bathing in their own filth. Yet throughout high school you have to bare them or risk becoming the outcast. In most cases the enemies that you label as friend, knows they are your enemy and that you will do nothing to them. They can feel the fact that you are too passive and do not want to cause a scene, so you will keep quite and not disturb them as they try to make your life miserable.
This brings me to example #2. She was a friend. One of those people that are more then just acquaintances, but less then hang out with after school kind of friend. She was until she found out that my boyfriend was moving. Then she started saying that she is his best friend and that I am holding him back. She calls me names to my face and says things to everyone else. Some people she has convinced or just they have nothing better to do then try and impress her so they join in with the haggling. Most other people have chosen to ignore her ranting and to label her as insane, as I have. Still she persists in breaking my boyfriend and me up. She gropes him every chance she gets and never stops calling me a slut. She has tried endlessly to make him break up with me because she feels I have whipped him and he does not like being with me. She has gone out of her way trying to make me hate her and to make me feel bad for not letting him sleep around like she says normal boys do. The list can go on forever but I do not wish to bore you with the details of her harassment.
Yet I remain passive. I stand up for myself just enough so she knows I am alive and still with him. She still is my boyfriend’s friend so he endures her nagging, but stands up for the one he loves. She treats me like shit, but I say nothing because she doesn’t do it to anyone else and other people that are my friends still hang out with her and consider her a good friend.
I have 2 years left of high school and I have come to the point where I don’t care about the people that I attend classes with, best friend or not. None of them have even done anything for me and don’t seem to care about anything else besides having fun and putting other people down which are often the same thing.
My boyfriend moved just over a week ago, so my refuge is gone. I really don’t have someone I can bitch to in classes about the people that are just out there to hurt. There are a few who still bug me about having a long distance relationship and still persist, saying that I am too young and I need to let him do think with his dick.
There are 2 years left. After I will be free of these people and all I have to do sit and have fun with the people I could care less about. Then I will go into the world and will most likely find slightly older versions of the people I have mentioned. In conclusion, people suck.

Living the Wal-Mart life…well I almost did

Some of you may know that I had recently applied at my local Wal-Mart. Needless to say, I didn’t get the job. Apparently I’m not good enough for Wal-Mart, you’d think that I would be offended. But you see they expect that a full time student would be at the store working when he normally gets out of class. I don’t know about all you guys but I see some slight schedule conflicts here. And there’s no way that I’m skipping class everyday just so I can work at Wal-Mart. And I find it a little suspicious how many questions they ask about pot and other drugs. Like if they saw a superior using an illegal drug what would you do? I think that Wal-Mart is full of druggies, it makes a lot of sense doesn’t it? They always smile, they never pay attention, and they smell funny. It all adds points to one thing…Wal-Mart is full of stoners. And now that I think about it I wouldn’t want to work there very much anyway. I don’t want to wear the bib…I mean…the smock, I’d better say that so I don’t offend the employees. But what am I complaining about? There are tons of desperate companies out there plenty willing to hire me. So I’m going to apply and hope for the best. HOOHAH!

Money, Money, Everywhere, lets all take a drink

After reading Dark lily’s blog I was inspired to write this one. I don’t understand why people complain about not being able to get a job. They’re everywhere, it’s like they grow on trees, I myself have 2, and oh many of you will never understand the simple joy of having more money then anyone else. And no I’m not one of those snobby rich kids whose parents give them everything thing they want…like a car…I think those people should be shot. Me, I’m one of those honest working shmoes that busts his ass trying to make a lot of money, possibly to go to Greece during spring break. And while I can sympathize with people who don’t want to work in fast food place (I’m one the people who doesn’t want to, incase you can’t tell) sometimes you got to suck it up and go with the flow. But yes, I guess the whole point of this is to say that I’m stinking rich and loving it!!!!! But just a tip to all of you who have large sums of money, always lend to your friends because you never know when that one time that you’ll be short on cash will come up, and if you are greedy you can probably expect the same thing back.

i am so broke it's not even funny

The most money I have right now is in my penny jar and that might as well belong to my youngest brother since I still owe him 10 more bucks. I just paid him 20$ I owed him and 10 more to go. I could have that money by now but my dad has decided that he isn’t going to pay me the 10$ he owes me. Today I saw Signs (Pretty good thriller movie. My dad didn’t like it because it mentions God, but that’s his problem.). We were getting candy for the movie from London Drugs. The usual, stuff as much stuff into your pockets because theatre candy is too much and it's more fun to sneak stuff in. Well anyway, he had told my brother and me that we could get what we wanted. So I got a Snapple, chocolate Pocky (or is it Pokey?) box, and a tube of mini M&M’s. On the way out I spotted some sweet Star Wars Pez dispensers and decided to grab a couple of those. My brother grabbed about the same things as I did. After we had paid and started to walk to the car, my dad informed me that I owed him money. Somehow my brother and I combined had spent about 10$ and he wanted his money back. He told us that we could take what we wanted and now he was saying that he was only going to pay for 2 candies, the cheapest ones and I owed him the rest. So that meant that he didn’t owe me any money anymore and that I was now out 10$. Now there is no way my brother is going to reimburse me so I’m stuck till I can guilt my dad into giving me the money back. Its either he gives me money or I'm never letting him borrow money again. What a family hey? Hopefully I’ll be out of the hole soon. Then I can continue being poor.
I was hoping that my pennies would survive until I was an old lady. That way I could go to the store and by something huge with only pennies and count them out very slowly, one by one. I have big plans for when I'm old. Bug as many people as I can. I think I might even pretend to go deaf and just never wear my hearing aid so I can see what people say about me behind my back.
Along with the fact that I don’t have any money, is that I can’t get a job because I’ll be leaving in less then 2 months. Nobody wants to hire me for 2 months now except for berry picking and crap like that. No thank you, but I prefer not to get heat stroke every day while working. I’m being sort of picky because I refuse to work at a fast food place or as a waitress. They get treated like less then crap and I’ve seen what those kinds of jobs can do to a person. I just wish that I could get a job and have money right now because everything I want to do involves money. Fly to see Louis ---> money, buy digital camera ---> money, etc. Why can’t money just fall into my lap and not have me do anything for it? Because the world didn’t want me to be one of those snobby rich kids, it wanted me to be a poor whinny kid.
In summary: I NEED A JOB!

Old people: Wrinkly and scary

Today I went out to a Wendy’s, I usually don’t go there because quite frankly I find the burgers there too greasy and really gross tasting. But anyway, back to the point of this blog. I sat down with my food, eating a spicy chicken burger (the only think I could bring myself to eat). I was there for only a couple minutes when a rather aged, old lady sat down at the table next to me, in the process she pushed a napkin on the floor then said “I’ll just push it on the floor like everyone else” then commenced laughing. I don’t know why, what she said wasn’t all that funny, after all what’s so great about littering and making someone else pick it up? I thought that this was the end of my conversation with the creepy old lady. But no she continued the conversation from there, and this is sort of how it went…

Old lady- “so do you like the burgers here?”
Me- “I guess” takes a bite
Old lady- “I like the burgers here, the best burgers in town they are.”
Me- “yup.” Drinks pop
Old lady- “I know some people that don’t like the burgers here, so when they say that, I tell them that I’ve had their burgers and they aren’t that good”
Me- Smirks, then eats some fries, realizes they’re gross so I put them down
Old lady- “yes I tell them what I think, I don’t care how they react…”

Fortunately at this point in time one of the old lady’s friends came by and they promptly forgot about me. But in conclusion I think that all old people should be locked away, for their own safety as much as our own. Except for my grandma, because she’s to nice for the world to be deprived of her.

A day at the ice cream parlor.

As I went into a local dairy queen today (actually it’s not very local, it’s about 15 driving minutes away), I saw on one of them little stand up signs advertising something called cake on a stick. I figured why couldn’t they actually come up with a good name for it? Like a 3D Dilly bar? Or cake pop? But nooooooooo they called it cake on a stick, the most unoriginal name ever. So what do I do? I bought one naturally, what doesn’t taste better on a stick? When I received this supposed “cake on a stick” I was gravely disappointed, not only was I about twice the price of a Dilly bar, but it was about half the size too. This was an outrage; there was a seriously low ice cream to money ratio here. Not only that but after a few minutes the ice cream melted enough that the whole cake on a stick fell off, I ate it anyway but it’s just not the same when it’s not on a stick. But anyway, that was just one of my many adventures to come. Stay tuned for “Living the Wal-mart life” but that’s only if I get the job.

A note to the readers

As some of you can see i've added a little tag board in the side bar of this page. So hey! Let us know what you think! Leave a message at the sound of the beep. And if you don't want to, you know what, screw you! It's people like you who don't give any input that make the world a crappy place. And then you go and bitch about how life isn't fair, well just shut up! Speak up when you have the chance. So what are you waiting for? Go put a message! (And yes i realize the irony of me complaining about other people bitching)

Portuguese Mafia: Fact or Fiction?

I don’t know if any other people have realized this but we have a serious problem on our hands. We have recently been overrun by the Portuguese Mafia! I know what you’re thinking, there’s no such thing as the Portuguese Mafia, right? Well that’s what I thought until a little while ago, until that is, I learned about their dirty little secret. And dirty is right! They have created a syndicated Ewok porn ring. They’ve taken our cute and cuddly wuddly little friends from “Return of the Jedi” and perverted them beyond our wildest dreams! Who knows what other sick, twisted and disgusting things they’ve done? Just sitting there at their computers, reading their web comics, borrowing other peoples web time at the library so they can go on longer on a faster Internet connection (Hi Ali!!!). But I warn all of you, take a stand before it’s too late, stop the Mafia before they take our precious care bears, or any other of our cherished childhood cartoon characters and pervert them too. There is no need to let them go unpunished for the injustice they have caused, stand together, united we will make the Mafia fall!!
-Matt
(As some of you can see I still have a quite active imagination, don’t worry I will promptly be beaten as soon as a certain Portuguese friend of mine reads this blog)

Just me rambling!

Hi! This is Dark Lily and I'm the other member of Happy Death. I will write Blogs from time to time. Today i feel like writing about how I am not a geek. Lately I have been accused of being rather geeky. So I happen to enjoy some anime! I like Star Wars but who doesn’t? (Star Trek is pure crap! The whole basis is that they are lost and can’t find there way home. Yet they have all the technology to do all these bizarre things and they can’t even find a freaking map! So I’m being simplistic but my point is that its BAD!) I like video games, but so do most teenagers. So what I like to read? There’s a reason so many books are made every year in the world: people like to read! I like to write. Lots of people write otherwise there would be no books. Last but not least, the web comics. Yes I like to read some web comics. I am the same as the people who read comics in the newspaper, mine are just on the Internet! So :P!
Thank you for your time.

The Middle of Nowhere, Under a Pile of Dirt.

This blog goes out to all my fellow small town people. Truly it’s one of the most pathetic ways to live, like at least a homeless person has an excuse to be doing nothing. I guess it’s not all bad, but only if you’re easily amused. For instance, right now I’m finding myself amused by flicking on and off a flashlight. That’s not that bad you say? Well to top it all off there are no batteries in it, in fact there isn’t even a light bulb in it or even an end on it. So basically all I’m doing is playing with a plastic tube with a switch on it (shut up right now all you sick sick dirty minded people, this is no place for such thoughts. Wait! What am I saying? This is the Internet, of course it is!). All I’m saying is that if you live in a small town, do yourself a favor, grow up move to the city and get rich. Trust me it’ll do wonders to your life. But if the city life isn’t for you, you have 2 options….
1. Make your computer your best friend, or
2. Learn to shoot and hunt gophers

Dazed and Confused? I think not!!

It has recently been brought to my attention that I look like a stereotypical stoner (actually this has been going on for quite some time but that’s beside the point). I’d just like to point out that even if a person has long hair, wears sunglasses a lot, and has a tendency to say trippy a little more then is necessary does in no way mean that he is a stoner. So if you are at a movie or at the mall or anywhere for that matter don’t go up to the guy and ask for some weed. You know why? BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY!!!!! Nothing ruins your day with your friends more then having some jittery, red eyed, sniffing, half freaking out creep coming up to you and saying “Hey man do you got a joint?” Like come on people do I look stupid enough to do that stuff?? It’s just the kind of thing that makes me want to punch a person out. And to top it all off even my parents think this too so now I have to deal with them going through my room. So what I say is, “you want some weed? Well piss off!!”

Holy Crap Churches Batman!!!

As I was going through some old papers the other day, because it was raining out so I decided to clean them up, I stumbled across a speech I had written a few months ago. I'm hoping that most of you aren't religiously inclined and if you are I in no way mean to offend with this speech, but whatever I’ll get chewed out about it by people later.

God. A simple 3 letter word that has rocked our world. But it’s not just “God”, it’s all of them, I’m talking about Jehovah, Buddha, Zeus, every single one of them. They al force people to do things that if using their own personal judgement they wouldn’t normally do. Religion has and still does cause the most horrible atrocities known throughout history and present day. I’m betting that if you’re a religiously inclined person you’re probably thinking that I’m both possessed by santa and trying to corrupt my fellow man. Or that I’m a “lost soul” who hasn’t yet seen the “light”, or maybe it’s that I’m the deer on the side of the road that sees that the light belongs to a semi racing for you. Either way I wish to point out just how corrupt and horrible all religion truly is, and also the sheer ignorance and conformist ways of people who are supposedly guided by Dog.

One example happened awhile ago, on TV I saw a program that was really just a televised mass but the priest said that all of the sexual harassment and pedophiles could be gotten rid of if everyone just turned to Dog. But the funny but disturbing thing is that there are many accounts of sexual harassment towards children in orphanages from priests other supposed men of Dog and to top it all off, the church is protecting these so called “holy men”. Can you taste just a bit of irony??

But this corruption of the church hasn’t just started in recent years, it’s been going on for centuries. Take for example the crusades, an entire war fought over the “holy” city of Jerusalem. And what was accomplished? Thousands of innocent people died for a cause in the name of some non-existent being. In the first crusade alone many innocent pilgrims died when they were sent against the enemy, many of those pilgrims were unarmed. The war would go on for over 300 years, when crusade after crusade would go and fight for Jerusalem. But it was a war! What happened to the so-called peaceful and loving way of god?

Another thing is during the Middle Ages, religion was used as a form of suppression by using fear, if you did anything wrong, absolutely anything, like missing church you would go to hell. Religion was also used to explain the unexplainable, like if there was a leaky roof or if an animal got sick it would be blamed on a witch and then there’d be all sorts of wild accusations about who the witch was. Pure hatred would make people accuse their neighbors, and once accused there was no escape, you died one way or another. Either by being burned at the stake or through the tests in which case you would die a Christian death.

Yet another example is the Spanish inquisition, during this time the Spanish royalty and clergy believed that there should be religious uniformity in Spain and they didn’t believe that people had the right to believe what they wanted. And just like in the witch trials, there’d be wild accusations thrown about and anyone accused of being a heretic would be punished whether they did anything or not. Anybody accused of being a heretic would be guilty until proven innocent. People of all other religions were persecuted, such as Jews, Moors, and Muslims, they were all discriminated against.

Speaking of discrimination, religion has caused the horrible forms of discrimination and bigotry ever, like the oppression of gays. Religious people believe that other people have no right to choose, they believe that there is only one way to live and one way to believe. They also don’t believe in a woman’s right to choose whether or not she has an abortion and they think it’s wrong in the extreme. They say that taking a life is wrong, but they seem to have no problems with murdering the doctors for women’s clinics in the name of God.

I don’t expect any of you to you to agree with my opinions I just hope that maybe you’ll think twice about anything that seems so good.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely; God is all-powerful
Draw your own conclusions

New Members

Hi there people! I have recently managed to convince 2 other people to aid me in my quest to better the world. In my own sick twisted little way of course. But yes, they will be posting things possibly similar or completely different then the topics that i will write about. But that's the great thing about it, 3 different people, 3 different places, 3 completely different views thus creating a wider variety of Blogs. Anyways I hopes yous all enjoy my little piece of reality.
