Nugget in a Biscuit :D

It seems that so many weird things are happening to this generation; aside from blondes breeding with ducks, words are mysteriously losing vowels, letters are replacing numbers, and acronyms, well, they aren’t really acronyms anymore. So tell me why this is, ‘bcuz’ ‘idk’ what is going on here. Oh yeah, I ‘4got’ to say ‘lol’.

            I feel the need to point out that ‘lol’ stands for “laughing out loud”. Now, I know you’re all thinking exactly what I thought when I first heard this: That’s misleading; ‘lol’ obviously stands for ‘hahaha’ or alternately as ‘I really don’t understand or care about what you’re saying’. It’s crazy, I know. But, aside from that nonsense, doesn’t it make more sense to use your full QWERTY keyboard to type out grammatically correct statements? I mean, even phones have a full keyboard nowadays. I find it absurd how kids are such procrastinators and love to drag things out when it’s important—okay, okay, maybe I’m being hypocritical here, a bit— but god-forbid they take too long to inform their ‘bff’ that their two word text was funny.

I’d imagine most of them think like this “Uh-oh, typing “hahaha” will take me one half of a second longer than typing ‘lol’. I better hurry before she thinks I’m ignoring her.” Which makes sense, because don’t you think that sending a text late is more of an indicator that you’re ignoring someone than it is to fall asleep in class and turn in that five hundred point assignment two weeks late? But, hey, at least you can ‘brb’ when you’re texting.

Speaking of “being right back”, I’m pretty sure that means that you’ll be right back. Now, I don’t want to be a party pooper here, but when you say you’ll be right back, you better mean it. I don’t think anyone would appreciate sitting around for an hour when they expected you to return in a few minutes. If you really have to leave, you may as well use the alternate acronym, ‘gtg’ and followed by a ‘ttyl’. That way the other person is informed that you are leaving and won’t be talking to them until later. There are two options, so choose the one that doesn’t irk people.

Two; why choose between two options when you have four! There are so many forms of that word. We’re talking about “two, “to”, “too”, and “2”. Of course “two” and “2” mean the same thing, but would you ever see someone say “I’ll see you twomorrow”? Yeah, didn’t think so; so why say that you’ll see them “2morrow”? I even see it shortened to more idiotic lengths, “2moro”. Unless you’re talking about two members of any of the Muslim Malay tribes of the Philippines—that is what the dictionary defines the word ‘Moro’ as— you’re probably not actually saying what you might think you’re saying. There is also a definite difference between the words ‘to’ and ‘too’, both of which cannot accurately be replaced by ‘2’. If you’re indicating that there is more to something, such as you’re going to the movies along with your friends, you would probably say “I’m going to the movies with them, too.” Oh, by golly, did you notice we also used the word ‘to’ in that same sentence? That’s just too much for my brain to comprehend. Let’s just forget about this point.

Oh, did I say ‘forget’? I’m sorry, I meant… ‘Forget’. Yeah, that’s right; I didn’t actually mean to say ‘4get’. What would I be receiving four of? Oh, that’s right, grammar lessons. No, but seriously, why are we replacing ‘for’ and ‘four’ with ‘4’? It might be quicker, but you do realize that plenty of our elders actually went to a library for hours at a time to read up on information for essays? I know… it is pretty crazy; Wikipedia (and all of its ‘oh-so-accurate’ facts) actually didn’t exist! Okay, I’ll give you a moment to recover. Better? Alright, so back to the point; I think that 4 every day from here 4ward, we should 4get about replacing ‘for’ and ‘four’ with ‘4’, because we should use our brains. It’s good for us.

Now, just because using your brain is good for you, you shouldn’t do it ‘just bcuz’. Oops, I did it again. Sorry about that Brittany Spears reference. I just figured that both instances were blonde. Not funny? Let’s just continue on, here. My point is that there are actually vowels that are abandoned and neglected and need to be given feelings of worth. So stop throwing them out of your words! Billions die every day, just because—sorry, ‘bcuz’—of your ignorance. So speak up, take a stand in the honor of our beloved vowels! And their brethren, the magnificent “S”, are being replaced every second with their foe, the almighty “Z”. It really is a tragedy when things come to an end; in this case, intelligence.

Speaking of things coming to an end, I really have ‘gtg’. So really, what do you have to lose by taking the time to use correct grammar? Is the statement “it’s just the internet and texting, it’s not a test” really an excuse? Or is there ever even room for excuses? Laziness is its own punishment in and of itself.

I’m 17 years old. This is what you call “The Worst Age of Growing Up”. Why? Because 17 is when you’ve mastered all of the skills you need to be an adult, but you’re still considered a child. It’s when your judgement is still questioned, because one number is of less value than the one to follow. It’s when mom and dad act like “mommy” and “daddy”, and you feel like one yourself, sometimes.
When you’re 17, it’s being stuck at home, following rules, anticipating the upcoming year, when you can make your own decisions and wondering “When are they going to start letting go?” Often I think to myself, if they would start letting go a little bit now, they won’t be so upset and emotional when I leave, later. Honestly, if I could have one wish for my birthday, it would probably be that I was allowed the freedoms of an 18 year old, as long as I reported what I was doing/where I was going before I did it. Then I don’t feel controlled, but I’m still being monitored. But, I don’t think that would ever happen.
Who would have thought that time and experience would, by default, make me incapable of having better judgement than when I was 7? We can all admit that when we were younger, we were allowed to make friends and go hang out, without mom and dad worrying if they were a “good kid”. As long as parent met parent, even for a brief moment, all was good.
I can only say that, a year from today, I’ll probably be a crazy ass chick; and don’t be surprised if I don’t come home until late. Take that, mom and dad. One year, I have a strict curfew, the next, they can’t do anything about when I come and go. I really think that’s gonna be interesting.

Sometimes I wonder why I am alive.

So many people have faiths that lead them to believe they were sent here by a higher power for a specific reason. But, being Atheist, I can’t really say anything like that. I do believe that the forces of the universe put everything in motion, though. Maybe I’m just like a little piece of a universal board-game. Maybe the universe, itself, can think. It seems imaginable.

If the so called “God” was never human, but is greater than all humans, all knowing, then that, technically, means that you don’t need a brain to be able to think. So, in essence, the universe could have the ability to process information to Earth and program us, so to speak, to follow life and live according to our “fate”.

Cells in our brains allow us to think for ourselves, cells are just made up of a whole bunch of smaller elements. When you break everything down, you only need certain elements, working together, to be able to perform any given function. The universe can not be an empty void, it’s made of “black matter” which means it, too, must be composed of elements. Who’s to say that “space” cannot think?

Life is, simply, magic.

Learn to harness the energy given to you and control the smallest systems, and you could do the unthinkable. Anything, really, is possible.
