Don't ask.

We all have issues right? (I'm expecting whoever is sitting behind that screen to nod their head and say 'hell yeah we do!') I'm fourteen years old and i already know that, the world isn't perfect and it's so pathetic when people believe they deserve better than what they get! People in general tend to bug me...

I heard in a movie once (don't ask which one because I honestly don't remember) "a person is smart...people are dumb." it's true isn't it? I'll take my class as an an example, you talk to one girl on her own (bar a few, there really are some stupid girls in my class -_-) she'll seem incredibly smart, ask her views on something that's happening in the world right now. (lets give the recession as an example,) her thoughts could be extremely interesting. You know, a lot of people my age didn't even know what the recession really was.

Amazing huh? It's happening all around us. You see a store close down, people on the streets, hell, you'd think they'd at least notice that there's hardly any more '09 cars anymore...but back to my original point, this girl could say things you'd hear in a political debate (because we can be quite smart you know.) or...she could say something like "uhhh....I like how there's, like, loads of sales like!"

That's a real cork thing isn't it? 'like' it's hard to find a corkonian (an amazing word that I thought up of may i add.) that doesn't add the word 'like' at least twice into every sentence they speak, it's annoying, but even I've slipped into the terrible habit, I used to do eloqution classes in my primary school as our teacher was obsessed with pronounced TH...

I have to admit, it really stuck with me and that teacher is a great influence. A completely nerdy thing to say on a blog but it's true. He taught me to write the way I do today, he really pushed us to describe our surroundings and built his life on the phrase "yes I can do." which is probably still stuck up on the wall above the door in our old classroom...

He's retiring this year, which is a tradgedy really...he's been working there as a teaching principal for fifty-something years I think and I can't possibly think of anyone in the world who could fill such big shoes. he was a really old-fashioned teacher who liked to teach in a way he thought would be interesting for us...

I'm almost glad he's leaving after I did. I couldn't imagine going to that school without him. A true rolemodel. Sayonara Mr. Lynch. AKA The master! (yep...he was called the master or 'sir')
