Pray For My Cousin!

FOX MEDICAL TEAM: MedGift: MyFoxATLANTA.com

A couple months ago my cousin Joe Micco was in a deadly motorcycle accident. He suffered severe brain trauma and was in a coma for a few weeks. Doctors thought my cousin wouldn't make it but he has made such tremendous progress after suffering such extreme injuries. WARNING: The video in this post is very sad but also encouraging due to the fact that doctors didn't even think my cousin would live but he's come this far so although it'll take a long time, Joe will definitely pull through! (The picture in this post is Joe and his wife Alyson before the accident) PRAY FOR JOE! Every prayer helps!

Why Did I Stop Posting on Here???

    So as I'm sitting here during the late hours of an average Tuesday night, for some reason I decided to come back to this blog I started a little while back to read some of the things I wrote. As I'm reading my posts, I kept thinking to myself, "Why did I stop posting on here?". I used to love sitting down and taking the time to write these thoughtful posts and a bunch of people were really enjoying them so I kept writing! Then I did a double-take and thought, "Wow did I really stop writing on here because of the one or two people that put me down or made fun of me for this?". I even wrote on this page that I wouldn't care what people thought or said about this blog and that I would keep posting regardless of how others felt about it. And I kind of got angry with myself for not sticking to what I said because why should one or two people ruin a good thing? SCREW THE HATERS! I pledge to TRULY not care what anyone thinks about this blog and I'm going to start posting on here again because like I said in the little blurb down on the side of this page "this is for me" so I'm going to continue with this whether some people have misguided interpretations or condescending opinions or neither of those things!

How a HS Girl's Mind Works (In my Opinion)

    Hey peeps! Sorry for not posting since last Thursday, I've been very busy. Anyways, I just want to point out that the rant below is only my opinion, it can and might be completely wrong, but it's basically how I see things from my POV.


    Something that all guys in high school wonder is..WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH GIRLS THESE DAYS?! When we think they're going to do this, they go and do that. When we think they're going to say this, they say that instead! Girls are so confusing, unpredictable, and hard to figure out. Fortunately for any of you guys reading this, I've managed to put together a theory on how a high school girl's mind works!

    The mind of a high school girl is a pretty screwed up place if you ask me :P They have so many things going through their minds and their lives are made so much more complicated by their stupid unnecessary drama. If you're a nice guy reading this, tough luck kid, girls these days claim they want you, but they won't pursue you. If you so happen to be a cocky d-bag reading this, CONGRATULATIONS! All the girls want you and will do anything to be with you. Now whoa whoa whoa WAIT A SEC! Didn't I just say all girls want to be with a nice guy? Why do they go for the cocky d-bags that treat them and everyone else badly then? There's one word that can answer all of this. DESIRABILITY.

    A girl does desire to be with a nice guy someday, but for right now, her desires are very blinded by many things. She won't go for that nice guy (unless she's smart) right now because he's not DESIRABLE to her. The nice guy is the kind of guy that the girl knows will always be there for her, listen to her, and love her. In short, this guy is very attainable for the girl. However, the girl, for some reason, needs a feeling of fulfillment or a feeling like she conquered something. As a result, she and many other girls will chase a cocky d-bag because that's who is UNATTAINABLE thus making him DESIRABLE.

    For me and most guys, we do not see the sense in this at all. Why do you girls need to feel accomplished? If you "loved" this guy for all the right reasons, you would not be looking to get a feeling of "accomplishment" out of it! If that's the case, I believe you need to grow up and stop being immature. I'm sorry, but I don't think girls realize how stupid they look when they all chase the same guy that has nothing special about him and who's not a great guy at all. In fact, this stupidity is a MAJOR turn-off to all the nice guys out there and all that you girls are doing is screwing up your chances to EVER be with a nice guy. SMARTEN UP! Take a step back and realize that chasing the d-bag and trying to win him over is not worth it. Chances are you have a really nice guy that's been right in front of you and has been there for you this whole time that you can be happy with right now.

Being Alone: The Pros and Cons (Mostly Pros :P)

    Being Alone. There are many perspectives on what being alone truly means. It all really depends on your situation in life. Some people may literally be alone where they don't have any friends or family, some people are alone because they haven't found their lover yet, or some people may feel alone when they have no one to talk to. All of these instances make being alone not the greatest thing (as it is for me), but being alone isn't all that bad in some cases (as it is for me also).

    The obvious part about being alone is of course the negative side to it. Being alone SUCKS most of the time. You may feel like there's no hope in your life, you won't ever find that special someone, or some other reason. Ok, I won't go too deep into the negatives because I think they're all pretty obvious. What I really want to focus on in this short rant is the POSITIVES of being alone.

    Yupp, I said it. POSITIVES. Now you're probably thinking, "How are there any positives of being alone?". Well think about it for a second. We all have our days where we are just annoyed with everything and everyone to the point where you just ignore every text and Facebook message that comes your way just to relax. And there you go! That's one thing right there. Relaxation! I know that when I'm alone, I find it much easier to relieve stress and relax. I do this in many different ways such as jamming out on my guitar, listening to music, or just simply sitting there and thinking about random things. Next time you're alone, you should try some of those things or anything you want because they really do help.

    Another positive about being alone is actually the fact that you are so much more productive with your time and are able to accomplish your goals faster and easier. I know that during my time of being alone these days, I've been getting so many things done. I've been getting better at doing my homework, getting a lot of different projects done at work, and I've been able to learn new songs on the guitar. So maybe the next time you're alone, try turning around what seem like a depressing thing into a time of self improvement by doing things that you've always wanted to do for yourself.
