If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
There's lots of those friendly people
They're showing me ways to go
But I never want to lose their inspiration
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
And now that my life is so pre-arranged
I know that it's time for a cool change
my first try at blogging was back in july 2004 which reminds me, it'll be my [blog's] 1st yr anniv next month... whew! it was really just for kicks (or call it "therapeutic purposes", if you prefer) but as i was getting the hang of this blog thing, i've also accidentally (and regrettably) come across a couple of very crass bloggers: ms motormouth's chief concern was to bitch about her poor mom 24/7 (and i'd rather not talk about her reasons because they're just full of shit), and this other beastly site just can't stop talking about sex like their lives depended on it. i mean, why be the amoeba that feeds off of the parasites that are hosted by the slime that feeds off of pond scum? (god i love quoting myself tch tch)... i was peeved (the understatement of the year), so i've made it my business to be a true-blooded kid-friendly blogger. i've also begun writing for and/or about teens. yeah yeah, most adolescents don't like it when they're referred to as "kids", i know because i have a younger cousin who made my life hell each time i reminded her how old she really was. anyhow, i wouldn't be posting tonight had i not read this wretched news.
Washington (Reuters) - According to a study released on Thursday, more than half of America's teens know friends who have experienced physical, sexual or verbal abuse in their dating relationships.
Among those surveyed, 13 percent of teenage girls, admit to being physically injured or hit and one in four report being pressured to perform oral sex or engage in intercourse, according to the survey by the private research group Teenage Research Unlimited.
think of it this way, does anyone have a right to lay a finger on you or pressure you to do something you don't want to do just because you want to please that piece of crap you call your bf/gf? yes, i'm addressing the issue with both boys and girls.
one time, i was shopping and overheard a teenage girl and her mom arguing about the skanky outfit her daughter tried on. apparently, the mom wanted the cheap, sleazy material for her little girl because she "looked fabulous in it." some parents are too cool for their kids' own good. this is probably one of the reasons why kids mature before their time.
well, it's useless to blame each other now -- hollywood, the parents, britney spears, friends or the dog -- rather, preparing adolescents for responsible adulthood is a step toward a better future for most of them.
I've never been romantic
And sometimes I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air
If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
It's kind of a special feeling
Out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover.
