Based on a True Story

Weird

       What does socially acceptable behavior mean? It seems to me that no socially acceptable behavior is fun. That is not right. Why does society only accept boring behavior? I think it’s perfectly okay to act goofy sometimes. That’s what makes life fun. Being serious 24/7 is a pain in the ass and I hate pain in the ass. People need to lighten up a bit. You have to be able to laugh at yourself and not take everything so seriously. I act weird all the time. I say stupid stuff, do stupid stuff, and come up with stupid ideas and I enjoy that. It has allowed me to become shameless, which is a pretty handy trait to have sometimes. I don’t mean 50% of the things I say. When I’m talking with friends, I’m dissing their moms half the time and they’re doing the same. No one is offended by any of that and everyone’s laughing during those conversations. This is what makes me afraid of being an adult. What do adults laugh at? They can’t diss each other’s moms, or make sexually explicit jokes, or have what some have called an unhealthy obsession with pandas. After thinking about it for a bit, I have concluded that I would make a horrible adult. Maturity is something I will resist until the bitter end. It is corrupting the minds of our youth and endangering their happiness and sense of humor. Although having said that, I don’t want every middle schooler to be making penis jokes everyday. I guess it’s a delicate balance. Being “socially acceptable” all the time is no fun, but doing it once in a while is acceptable. The important lesson here is, if I make fun of your mom, please don’t take it seriously. I’m just joking (50% of the time).

I feel like complaining

        Today, I just feel like complaining. I think I’ve been too busy these past 2 or 3 weeks and that should not happen. It’s senior year and I have done minimal work for all my classes, yet I’m still busy. Why is that. There is no reason I should be busy. All I want is one day per week when I don’t have to do anything. I can just sit around and stare at things without having to worry about the next due date. That’s the general thing I wanted to complain about. Now on to the specifics.
         I hate physics. Not the subject, but the class. For some reason, my parents have the illusion that I will pass the ap physics exam in may. They have obviously not seen Mr. King teach. If I didn’t have to take the exam, then I wouldn’t care, but now that I’ve been forced to take that stupid test, I am extremely frustrated. This isn’t a personal attack on Mr. King. He is a very nice person, but one of the worst teachers I have ever seen. I would feel bad to get a 1 or 2 on the ap exam just for my parent’s sake. But if I want anything higher than that I would have to independent study the entire course by May. So much for a easy senior year. What I hate about my physics class is that I learn absolutely nothing from it. This is not a hyperbole. I literally do not learn a single bit of information. There are several reasons for this. First, Mr. King’s lectures are boring and repetitive. The worst part is he keeps on repeating the useless stuff, like the history of physics. That’s not going to do me any good on the ap exam. I need to know formulas and how to use those formulas. I am starting to think that he goes over all the history crap just to cover up the fact that he can’t do the math stuff. There have been multiple instances this year when he can’t even figure out a homework problem he assigned even though he’s looking straight at the solutions manual. Also, he always makes us put the problems up on the board. This is making me more and more suspicious about his abilities. It’s hard to believe that they would let him teach an AP class.
       Another thing I hate is his tests. They are nowhere close to the ap exam. He seems to be pretty proud of every test he makes, but every question is just plug and chug. If he really wants to test our knowledge of the material, I should be failing every single test. Right now, I’m passing every test with the knowledge that I will undoubtedly fail the ap exam. There’s all this discussion about whether or not teachers should be held accountable for the performance of their students, and there are many ways to look at it. For example, I suck at English. There is really not much an English teacher can do to change that. I don’t think the teacher should be responsible for this. However, if you were to look at our physics class, I think the majority of the blame can be placed on the instructor. He has made my life more miserable because I have to learn everything by myself. It sucks. And complaining about it helps me cope. Recently I have decided to work at the same pace as Mr. King. I will not start on my homework until he hands back our most recent test. It has been 2 weeks since our last test and I still have not started on my homework. There are around 35 people in my class and the entire test consisted of less than 10 questions. If he gave the test back today, it would mean he graded an average of 2.5 tests per day. As a full-time teacher, that is embarrassing. There are teachers like Mrs. Cain, Mrs. Nuccio, and Mr. Deck who give back tests that are way longer, and way harder to grade in 2 or 3 days. I can see how being old may affect Mr. King a little, but 2 weeks for such a simple test is ridiculous. It means either he is not working, or he is taking too long on each test. If you know the subject well enough, grading a test you made should not be hard at all. You should already know what mistakes to expect so partial credit isn’t that difficult. When you have a test that consists solely of plugging numbers into equations, the job should be even easier. There is no excuse and I am furious and sadden that he is teaching AP physics.
          If you are an underclassmen planning on taking AP physics next year, I urge you to first find out who is teaching it. Mr. King will teach another year at ravenwood and there is a chance that he will teach ap physics again. If that is the case, don’t sign up for the class. Let me rephrase that. Don’t sign up for the class and expect to pass. If you want to pad your gpa then go ahead. If you really want to learn physics, then I’ll email you the textbook and the answer book. The amount of material you can learn by yourself in one week will be at least twice what you learn in his class in a month. So far my accomplishments in that class consists of a list of 61 ways to flick people off, nuggeding backpacks, beating jelly car 3, setting multiple highscores in bejeweled, and mastering tiny wings. That class is useless and I hate it.

Anonymous Questions

I have been sent some interesting questions by Linda and her cohorts. I do not know who exactly helped linda do this, but if I offend you when I answer your question, then sorry. Not knowing who asked the question takes a great burden off of me because I can answer however I want. So here it goes.

It didn’t. It’s living a peaceful existence in eastern europe. With an area of 436,400 km2 (168,500 sq mi), a maximum depth of 2,206 m (7,238 ft), and a volume of 547,000 km3 (131,200 cu mi), I would say the Dead sea is alive and well.

Why id the color clear regarded as a color?

That’s not a sentence. The “id” you used can be interpreted in the psychological sense. In that case, this question still does not make sense. I suggest ESL or some other form of basic english classes. If you need a tutor, let me know.

Why can’t people tickle themselves?

The truth is that only certain people can tickle themselves. Through years of training and meditation I have achieved this feat. By concentrating my inner Chi on to specific pressure points throughout my body, I am able to create a harmony within my body therefore allowing me to tickle myself. I am one of 2 people to ever accomplish this. The other person is dead.

so i heard you like apples………….

First of all that’s not a question. Second of all an ellipse consists of 3 periods. And yes, I do like apples. But only when they are peeled.

If Americans throw rice at weddings do Asians throw burgers?

No. Asians throw mashed potatoes. Burgers contain meant and we asians love meat. Mashed potatoes is perfect. You can easily mold it into a ball and pretend you are having a snowball fight. Also, any residue left on clothes or faces can be easily licked off. The splatter that occurs on impact increases the effective radius which makes it a much more efficient alternative to burgers.

“Don’t interrupt me like that. I’m trying to tell a story here.”

Why is the word abbreviated so long?

Why not? I dream of the day when words are no longer judged by their length, but my their meaning. It’s what’s on the inside that truly counts. So what if abbreviated is longer than your average word? All he ever wanted was to do his part for the english language and he never complained about anything. Why can’t you just leave him alone? (If you still need an english tutor, let me know)

If a building is already built why is it called a building?

If doctors are so skilled then why is their work called practice? I call their work, work. Doctors don’t wake up in the morning and say “Honey, I’m going to practice”.
Do you have crash courses for pilots? I personally do not offer that option at this point. However, I can get you a crash course in english if you need it.
If corn is used to make corn oil how do you make baby oil? You use babies. Here’s a step by step instruction.1. Press the babies. The mechanical press will crush the babies to a pulp as you turn the crank. By the time you have pressed the babies as far as it will go, you will have a runny, pulpy goo. This is just what you want. Each time that you press the babies, scrape the goo into the tub or bucket. The corn oil in the goo will float on top of the water and the pieces of bones will separate and float in the water. Continue pressing until all of the babies have been pressed and all of the goo is in the tub.
2. Strain out the baby pieces. Pour the contents of the tub through the screen into the other tub. This will filter out all of the bones and baby pieces. You will be left with a baby oil and water mixture.
3. Set the tub of baby oil and water in the sun. Leave it covered with the screen so that bugs and leaves do not fall in. As the tub sits, the water will evaporate. This will leave a yellowish film in the tub that is pure baby oil. You can scrape it up with the rubber spatula and rub it on your face.

If Microsoft is big then why isn’t it called Macrosoft.
It is a little known fact that the micro in microsoft was originally intended to describe the size of Bill Gate’s penis. He may have gotten bigger since then, but because his company is so famous now, he decided not to change the name.
If doctors get to see you naked anyway then why do they leave the room while you change?
Wait. Your doctor does that? Dang it. I better change my family physician

If people point to their wrist while asking for the time then why don’t they just point to their crotch while asking for the location of the bathroom?
That is exactly what I have been trying to get people to do. It is such a simple gesture that can convey only 2 meanings. If a person mistakenly interprets it as you trying to make sexual advances, then the worst that can happen is you go to jail. But if they do understand you, then you can go to the bathroom without having to say a word. I especially recommend this strategy for people who are mute.
what do you think is your most attractive feature? My long, hard, perfectly sculpted femur.

Too much work.

      I have realized that over the next couple of weeks I will be pretty busy. I hate being busy. Why can’t I lead the life of a Panda? Wake up, eat, chill, sleep. They don’t do anything and everyone loves them. Recently, I realized that I always make typos when I’m trying to type “student”. For some reason, I keep on spelling “studnet” (pronounced stud-net) instead. Today I realized that the reason for this is because studnet is just a cooler word than student. To prove this, lets take a look at some sentences:

“Hi, I’m a student” vs. “Hi, I’m a studnet”

“I have been a student my entire life” vs. “I have been a studnet my entire life”

Doesn’t that just make you want to be a studnet? A student sounds so boring, but studnet on the other hand, sounds so cool.

      Another thing has been bothering me lately. With the grammys going on, I have been thinking about some things. For example, a lot of the songs that we now consider to be classics were very popular when they first came out. Everyone loved the song and because of that, people kept on listening to them and we still listen to them today. This makes me fear for the future because it means that when I’m 30 or 40, justin bieber’s and katy perry’s songs may be considered classics (their names were not capitalized for a reason). That scares me. I don’t want my kids to listen to that and think everyone in my generation liked that stuff. It is a new fear I now have and I won’t know how things will turn out until 20 years later…

Beginning

      Hello ladies and gentlemen. I have finally started a blog. This is the result of some curiosity mixed with boredom and Mrs. Nuccio’s Stat homework. Hopefully doing this will keep my mind off that subject. as you can see the name of my blog is “Based on a True Story” which means everything in this blog has a decent chance of being a lie. This blog may be used to spread malicious rumors, or undermine the establishment. I would like for you to tell me if you are offended by anything I write. I may care enough to apologize or I may spread even more malicious rumors on my next blog post. I see this as a place to write whatever I want, whenever I want. I can do so on a piece of paper too, but my handwriting is not so good and typing is much easier.

      So recently I found a website called Rapgenius. The purpose of this site is to explain rap lyrics that you may not understand. This has helped me understand Lil’ Wayne on a level I never thought possible. It seems that on every song, all he talks about is how good he is. This makes me wonder what he is actually good at besides rapping about how good he is. Even though I do support the mission of this website, I think some songs are best left unexplained. For example, I don’t need people to point out every sexual innuendo in 50 cent’s “Candy Shop”. If a person doesn’t know what he means by “I’ll let you lick the lollipop”, then it is probably best to not tell them. If you need to explain that phrase, then you are either showing the song to a 5 year old or a person who is unbelievably naive. In both these situations, there is nothing good that can come out of explaining it. It is best to just let them believe that uncle 50 cent wants to give them a tootsie pop.

      That’s just something I wanted to get off my chest. One last thing, I have enabled the “ask me anything” thing. I also enabled the anonymous option so feel free to ask away. I will not respond to every question, but for my next blog post I may pick out a few to answer. Or maybe I’ll just not answer any questions. We’ll see.
