Another day at The Office

Hearing the rings of the telephones, hushed voices, and the sounds of paper being dropped down on the desk put me in the atmosphere of an office. The sounds from a childish boss, the angry voice of an obnoxious employee and hushed laughter of a cute duo all reminf me of The Office. No laugh tracks, no

My office is school and all I want to do is go to college sure it will be hard but I can't take this high school shit.

I'm not doing too well in physics honors and Spanish 6, notice the level of these subjects.

TV helps me numb my mind, especially shows like The Office (endorsement anyone?)

One episode was called Diwali, how Kelly (the ditsy Indian) invites all her coworkers to this Diwali party and it is so nonreligious and even though I'm all for nonreligious parties, this party was full of American Indian stereotypes that it should've had some culture in it, which it didn't because it only included dancing, hushed laughter,school girl banter, and of course Kelly's parent's asking if Ryan had a good job thinking that he might possibly marry Kelly (ha ha yeah right!) So this is my kind of Diwali:

October 25 was Diwali, (festival of lights, symbolizes good triumphing over evil) so at home my family did some prayers, and to tell you the truth I'm not religious so it was just a formality for me. I have morals and all I just don't believe in a higher power, well i sort of do but whenever I do and I start to think that maybe existence isn't just some fluke. Well later future events negate that whole existence of God. Sometimes I think that people are walking god complexes, in charge of their destiny, not some deity from beyond. I think there are spirits but I'm not superstitious. Oh sorry now I'm digressing. So on November 1st our temple will have its Diwali with food prayers and fireworks! see how uncultured and nonreligious I am, I'm basically looking forward to the fireworks (and taking pictures!). I'm bad, but all I want to do is do it my way, the fun way, the who cares? selfish way, is that wrong? (yes it is)

Everything's just wonderful

Contrary to the title, everything is not all bright and peachy. The world has seen many troubles and I'm sorry I have to be so down in the dirt. So you've must have heard that the US economy is rusting. I guess it needs more oil! Yet gas prices are actually going down... it must be the fuel efficient cars and the saying "we should be more energy efficient and not rely on big bad foreign oil" well although that saying holds true except for the big bad part, I do think our economy has gone BEAR wild. With the housing/ mortgage crisis, a financial bailout (which I hope will work) oh AND America has a new department : The Dept. of Financial Stability...WOW! Today stock prices have gone down throughout the world, and investors have shed tears behind their computers. But its not only finances that the world is having trouble with, their are many political troubles- like Georgia being invaded by prideful Russia, now this conflict may seem good versus bad but that isn't true. Both Georgia and Russia have committed mistakes. In another part of the world Darfur,Sudan
hasn't gotten enough attention, brothers and sisters, mothers, babies, misguided boys are still dying.
Why is it so hard to be "nice", this generic word hopefully shows you that the world should be simple, but it will never be. I'm a senior in high school right now, and just as I am about to head out into the world, the world has become more sinister and dangerous. Talk about bad timing.
I really hope before I graduate things will work itself out. I'll still keep working harder and helping others. I know that NOW is the TIME to UNITE and make peace, when there's an intermediate balance I hope everything will be wonderful.
