Fuuuuuuuudge. Tis Good.

This is how I feel sometimes. Just thought I'd let you in on that.

Confused?

Me too.

P.S. If you have questions about anything (and I do mean anything... that I can answer), please post them in the comments below. If you want to know about some odd thing about my life, ask away. Or, you know, whatever question you wanna ask. I'll answer any question you give me. The end.

Sweethearts? Yay! :D

Wooo! I have officially been asked. :)

I heard a loud knock on the door, and when I arrived, I found a shoebox full of miniture marshmallows. I had to search through said mallows for the letters to put together a name. I was a bit confused when I thought the I was an H, and as it turns out, most of the "O's" were actually D's. But eventually I got it figured out!

Now I can look at dresses without feeling silly. woot woot!

Maybe I could be a Teacher...

I think I know what I want to do as a career. Maybe.

I think I would enjoy being a music teacher. Further yet, a band teacher.

Today, I had the opportunity to help teach elementary school students clarinet, and I really liked it. I had gone once before, but I felt useless because I hadn't spent much time with my clarinet. Now that I have worked with my clarinet more, and I know more about it, I actually helped a little bit. The kids listened to me, and tried to accomplish the tasks I gave them. They started making progress. It felt awesome when one kid got the chromatic scale down really well! Granted, he knew most of it, but he had trouble with some of the fingerings and I helped him out! It was awesome to see him light up when he did it well!

So I thought about it, and I said to myself "I could do this for a living". I know how much I look up to my band teacher, and all the valuable things he has taught me. Way more than just how to play music. Way more than just how to be musical. He's taught me a way of life. And with the other people who have helped me so much with clarinet and other musical things, I can't help but feel like I am obligated to get better and help others improve too. I want to bring others the joy playing music has brought me.

So we add yet another great option to what I could do when I grow up. So far this is actually looking like the most likely. Teacher in general is actually climbing the charts, which I would have never thought about before. I guess we will see where I'm at in the future.

Your opinions?

Band Director?
Physicians Assistant?
Writer of some sort?
Any other ideas?

Plants Vs. Zombies is More Productive Than Homework!

Sooo....

For the past, oh I don't know... hour or so, I have been playing Plants Vs. Zombies instead of doing homework. At first, I felt a little guilty. Then I found a way that I can relate all my homework to it!

1. The game is a battle. You are fighting a defensive battle against the zombies, of course. This is much like trench warfare in World War 1. And we learned that when you fight a defensive battle in trench warfare, your chances of winning are 4:1. US History? check.

2. The game has music, which I listened to for some time. I listed to the kind of quality the songs had, major or minor. I tried to look at how it related to the setting because it changed when I went from the night level to the day level with the pool. AP Music? check.

3. The plants use the energy of the sun, which you must collect to plant more...plants. This requires photosynthesis, which is a part of chemistry. Which means... Chemistry? check.

4. Plants have roots. My math homework has nth roots. Roots and roots. Math? check.

5. I just barely used a logical fallacy (a false analogy to be specific, assuming that two things are alike in all aspects because they are alike in one aspect) English? check.

6. I had to think fast, and make sure I could accurately plant where I wanted to quickly. Which increases my hand eye coordination and my ability to read what's in front of me quickly. I need this for clarinet. Band? check.

7. I mention zombies in the yearbook somewhere. Yearbook? check.

So when you look at it, I was much more productive in that one hour, because I covered all my classes in one fell swoop! I don't need your homework! Ha!

Yeah... the teachers aren't going to like that much...

...Well, I guess I'm off to do homework now. It was worth a shot.

Just Do It.

I was leaving my 8th period class when one of my close friends said "Wait for me! I need to ask you a question!" So I said I would wait outside the door. He came out, and put his sweatshirt over my head, and proceeded to walk me through the halls as his 'tumor'. As I was guided by him blindly, a thought came to my mind. "Maybe he's helping someone ask me to sweethearts!" I got kind of excited, thinking maybe I was being asked.

Nope.

He was just being his crazy random self. While I did get a good laugh out of it, I was slightly let down. It just seemed like the perfect set up! And this my friends, is why I should stop over thinking things. Because then, you don't set such high expectations, and you can't be let down if you don't expect anything! And when something awesome happens, you are pleasantly surprised!

Sure, I don't need to be asked to sweethearts. I would be totally cool if I wasn't, and do something else fun on that day. But it'd still be a great compliment to recieve. It's like someone saying "You are awesome! Let's hang out and have an excuse to look nice!" Who wouldn't like that?

Either way, the message of this post is this- Boys, ask a girl to a dance. Because even if the date is terrible, and super awkward, you'll at least get a good story out of it. When people are throwing around stories about bad dates, you can chime in! And if the date goes well, you can brag about how good of a time you had! So it's really a win win situation. And they say you will always regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did.

Also, something to consider, if you don't go to the dance, there will be some lonely girl who cries while all her friends go to the dance and she stays home and thinks boys hate her.

You don't want to make a girl cry? Right? So ask! And heck, if you don't want to go to the dance, just ask a girl on a date who isn't going and do something else fun instead. Just don't leave a girl home crying!

Meat Boy and Bandage Girl

You can't tell me that's not adorable.

Okay, you can. But I'd call you a dirty liar. Or a heartless being with no soul (and, even I did call you such terrible things, I would do so lovingly).

But basically, I love Meat Boy. He's so cute! I could go for being Bandage Girl! :D

I mean, when a guy is willing to jump through crazy levels of insanity, involving saws, lasers, piles of needles, crazy blob things, the Evil Doctor Fetus, and who knows what else, how can you not love him??

I love a piece of meat... Yeah, that's saying something. At least he is a cute piece of meat.

On a different note, I heard that a guy filled a girl's room with balloons to ask her to Sweethearts. Oh the many clever ways that boys ask. It's so cute. :)

I've Just Seen a Face

There's something about music that makes me want to fall in love. Maybe you can relate, or maybe not. But that's how I feel. There are many wonderful songs out there. Most that I listen to don't have any lyrics, and they still make me want to be in love. It kind of sucks sometimes, but you can't help but be addicted to them. Some songs with lyrics that make me smile, want to be with that guy, or want dance with him are:

-Do You Want to Know a Secret? (The Beatles. Mostly the main part. The intro and the outro are a bit off for the whole cute thing)
-All My Loving (The Beatles)
-So Close (No idea who it's by, but it's in Enchanted)
-The Only Exception (Paramore)
-Haven't Met You Yet (Michael Buble)
-Stay Beautiful, and Pictures of You (The Last Goodnight)
-Digital Love (Daft Punk, but the acoustic is amazing)
-Be Myself, and Geeky Love (theOoldSooul, he's a youtube guy. Love his stuff! You should look up geeky love at least if you want a good laugh)
-Jen's Song (Benton Paul)
-Almost any song by Vertical Horizon
And many many more.

But this one, has made my heart melt. I watched Across the Universe yesterday, and I loved it. I want a guy who thinks of me like this. How can you not want that?
Enjoy



With Love,
Tom

P.S. Is it good or bad post kind of emo sounding thoughts on this thing? I have a post that explains a lot of why I have been acting werid lately, but it sounds really emo. And I am not emo, nor do I want people thinking I am depressed or I hate my life. But I want to get it out there, ya know? It's hard to find a balance. If you have an opinion on the matter, please share.
