TimeLapse Video of a Guy Trapped in an Elevator for 41 Hours

Re: guy stuck in an elevator for 41 hours. And he didn't once touch himself? I mean honestly what else would you do if you were trapped to the confides of a tiny box for 41 hours... I probably would've counted to a million just to see how long it would've taken me. I probably then would've counted the number of dots or designs on the rug of the elevator I was in. I think I have an OCD for counting, like whenver I'm bored I'll calculate the number of ceiling tiles times the number of floor tiles. But umm yeah, that whole ordeal must have sucked for the guy, who probably has the worst fear of elevators out of anybody within the entire U.S. Which brings me to the point of this blog....Do our past experiences muster what we do and do-not fear? I for one agree with this statement(there's probably some name for it in my psychology book but I'm too lazy to look it up) Examples being... when I was a young lad... to teach me how to swim my parents would simply chuck me in the pool with my siblings acting as lifeguards in case anything went wrong. This accounts for my fear of drowning as an adult. And my friend Hasib almost had an incident in which the elevator he was on nearly fell(as in its cable almost broke) thus now he is deathly afraid of elevators.

French Law: Thin Not In

Re: the French banning advertising. hmmm. this topic raises a lot of moral dilemma questions... first I'd like to talk about how we all at one point believed ads promoting cigarette smoking were okay but now they are completely abolished. Point being, we accepted a completely unacceptable and unhealthy behavior as normal behavior for humans(as seen in the billboards/magazine ads etc) and in fact were encouraged to kill ourselves!(without knowing it). Then again in defense of Joe Camel we didn't know how deadly cigarette smoking was in the 90's. But then again do we know how all these failed diet plans/pills are effecting our internal digestive systems? We might all grow up to be a generation of poop bag old geezers. That is to say, unless something is done quickly we can kiss our digestive systems goodbye before we're even 50. Now this raises the question of freedom of expression within America, I thought we were allowed to express our views in whichever ways we saw fit due to the fact that we're the world's greatest free country.... I thought wrong! Which brings me to this article on France banning items promoting extreme thinness within its female models. Which I think is actually an excellent idea. It not only benefits those poor starving models but also the millions of girls who aspire to be as thin as said models. By putting a limit on the minimum weight of the models they're also putting a minimum weight limit for most if not all all girls from London. But what I worry is that this law cannot or will not be enforced in America due to our freedom of expression views. Which is why I think we should view all excessively skinny chicks as the Joe Camel's of our generation and as such GET RID OF THEM FOREVER! they're killing a generation of teens! just like J.C. did! but wait... then again Obesity is the number 2 killer of people in America and I think its kinda weird that we're evolving to the social standard that Fatness means Happiness. As seen in those

ads for fatty dove chicks. How far are we willing to bend our social standards in order to appeal to a mass market? Pretty soon even the morbidly obese will become socially acceptable in our too-nurturing society. And that's just wrong. Wrong I tell ya.

New iPod Cover Looks Like Raw Meat

Re: people's taste in (i-pod) fashion, Hahahha I made a funny pun. No but really, what is up with people being "individual" and buying stuff for their electronics that serve no purpose other than to separate said individual from the crowd of people who have the same gadget as them. Sure you felt like the coolest kid on the block when you got the thing, but then you saw that everyone else had the same thing as you and that the main reason you even bought the PoS in your hand was due to social conformity. But in that respect I acknowledge people who buy like, Zebra covers or something for their i-Pod but now its gotten to the point where people have such a high demand for faux meat covers that they're actually being made, yes you heard me right, people WANT fake meat on their electronic gadgets... if only to break away from the crowd. Now this makes me scared about how far people will be willing to go in the future to again "individualize" their gadgetry once everyone else and their mothers have the faux meat cover.... real blood? human hair? what's happened to the plain old color change or design change or something not as EXTREME as meat. Then again it does come in a cute Styrofoam package, but then again it will probably look a lot like dinner to your dog... who will eventually eat it and of course it will be his fault for not knowing the difference between the real meat and the fake meat.

worst parents in the world-Xbox prank

That's just messed up. I mean the whole principal of unwrapping gifts is the excitement you feel after first realizing what's inside the box. In any case if a person were to open a present and be presented with a video game console of course they EXPECT A console to be there instead of clothes...

Olympic torch

seriously whats the big controversy over it? It's a fire putting it out won't free Tibet or any shit like that so what do you achieve by putting it out except for your own selfish gain of ruining a sacred ritual? I mean what everyone is just gonna say YAY and move on with their lives anyways, not caring that they've ended one of the most cherished events in sports history.

My parents are going to Hajj!

okay well not really but mom got her tax return back and yeah since it was of adequate enough she's decided to put more money into the fund and pay for her hajj trip. yay! Umm what else is new.... dad is doing better after going to the hospital although I haven't seen him use his inhaler yet. Anyways AP psycho review month is in day 8 and I haven't really started even though I know that next month determines the rest of my life... Fuck for the past few days Ms. Levens has been on my fucking case due to the fact that I've been talking too much in class. Fucking Tiffany. :P. The only thing on my mind right now is just getting the fucking grades I need and the SAT score to get into college. The SAT class the school offers is a joke. But I need to get on working on my vocab etc. fuck. if today I really start working on my AP review studying I can get the grade but I really need to be determined and not fuck up. O btw I'm typing this in Bio to the tune of Zdarlight. Omg I made brownies, I can't wait to go home and eat some. after a chicken wrap. :) OMG today I'm the main page of wikipedia, well not really me but my middle name. I find avoiding Vincent A LOT easier now that I've established the fact that I don't like him anymore. :)

This fucking week.

was crazy. Monday after school I wanted to make a statement about mein parents picking me up late from school so I decided to boycott their coming late by sitting my ass down and just waiting but not calling home. I decided I would wait until 4 but then at 3:00 I was like its getting kinda cold and they might send Tar after me(who would be pissed) and I should leave soon so I did. 3:15 I departed school and I got home around 3:30 ish. anywho turns out the reason no one came to pick me up was cuz Dad passed out in the hallway that morning and Lai hollered to my mom who thought lai was hollering about hte smell of her cooking eggs but turns out it was cuz dad fell. anyways me and mom visited dad after the kids left and I really should've showered but instead just quickly rinsed and shampooed my head beneath the bathroom sink's faucet. We visited dad in the ER room and he looked healthy enough and I presumed he was asleep the entire day. Lazy ass. :P but yeah he looked fine
