Yearbooks- great memories or trash?
The end of the school year is coming up. Whip out those pens and prepare to sign your name over a hundred times. What are you going to write? HAGS! or how about Cya next year or gr8 bein in class wit u. Think again. What will all of that mean ten years from now. Or even two. That person's going to look back and say. Hmm..this person, I can't really make out the signature, just wanted me to have a great summer. Did this guy really know me? Why'd I bother having him sign anyways? Take a little time and write down what you really mean to say and something really nice that will make that person feel special and feel like your friend.Use the blog, Luke
More support for blogs! What really does make them so interesting? Is it the fact that a lot of the articles are so personal? Or the casual style of writing? Two great articles on blogs are at http://salon.com/tech/feature/2002/05/10/blogbrain/index.html and http://news.com.com/2010-1074-897638.html?tag=fd_nc_1Thursday, May 09, 2002
Popularity Contest?
We had elections for class government today. But can I call it an election? Shall we call it a popularity contest? Because what is it, but a popularity contest? Sure, you might not vote for your friend if they really suck. But, otherwise you would. Then again theres the other factor. No, not experience, not talent, not skills, not any of those. Your speech. If you make it funny enough, people will vote for you even if your speech doesn't have anything to do with anything. This is the basic process. You arrive at the auditorium, sit down, fall asleep, catch a word or two from each speech, and then wake up and vote for your friends. It's all about popularity.Monday, May 06, 2002

un-F***
I've been thinking about it. And maybe I'd like to take back what I said in that entry, the one titled F***. Because I've realized that swear words ALWAYS offend somebody. I can't believe how casually some people use it when it can be so offensive. Excuse me for saying this word, bitch, but so many people have been using it so carelessly. And it really is so offensive. So, I was wrong.Priorities, priorities, priorities
I've been running for president of my class lately. And sure, I'd really love to get elected. But what really is more important? Getting elected, or your friends? It makes me sick to hear from others that one of the people running against me has been saying things about me behind my back. That makes me sick and sad. Somebody get that person's priorities right! I'm not going to say that person's name, because that would be attacking that person like that person is attacking me.Parents
Yeah sure they love you, but do they always show it? Yeah, they care about you, but do they always show it? Sure, go ahead and call this some stage of my life. But I've got to complain about it. About these parents who demand respect, but oh-so-often don't give it to you. About these parents who can't just say, I'm wrong, but find some other argument that doesn't make sense. About these parents who won't let you correct them or tell your side when you're in trouble. About these parents who want everything THEIR way. About these parents who think everyone should get straight A-pluses. About these parents who seem to think everything you do is wrong. You might think all of this is too extreme, even I might. But I think about the time when me and my brother were just messing around when I slammed my back against a corner of a cabinet and I fell down on the floor groaning in pain. I felt temporarily paralyzed. I had my breath knocked out of me. I actually felt scared for my life. My mom sat there and shouted at us. Like she always does. When we fall down or trip, she laughs. Went we get scratches, she complains. I'm sure she cares, a lot, but can't she show it? And I just thought I'd mention, although it might seem racist, but this seems to be more true with Chinese parents because of their culture, where parents should be treated with the uptmost respect and are always right. There is even a Chinese saying that parents own their children, in the sense that when the child gets hurt, s/he is damaging the property of their parents.Discipline
Yes, sounds like something bad. Maybe some rules. Or maybe a lecture. But everything's about discipline. Like writing in this blog. I'm sorry I haven't written in this blog for such a long time. Even if I might be talking to just one person, Sol. Maybe it's because I don't have the discipline. Or maybe it's because I have nothing to write about. And that can't be, because there are so many things on my mind. Maybe it's because I'm too scared to write. Posting my feelings on the web for everyone to see? That can be scary. But this writing is great. It's like some outlet for my anger and annoyance at things. But I've taken out the whip, and whipped myself. I need some discipline. And now for what I've been thinking about writing the past few days, but didn't know if I should.Sunday, April 14, 2002
Weekends
Are you looking foward to your next weekend? If you're a student in middle school or high school you might not? Teachers seem to see the weekend as an oppurtunity to load you with homework and for you to study for a test on monday, and not as a break from five days of work. It's as if the weekend is some long study hall, a time alloted for you to do homework. Are you looking foward to your next weekend? I'm not.Monday, April 08, 2002
Waphlelicious* comments
Hey everybody, if anybody... those of you reading my page. Tanks for just being here, and dont get offended by any of my comments, complaints cuz they're just outbursts....but please, please, make me happi by emailing me comments at zeenoywaffle@hotmail.com thanx!!.Does good do bad?*Blip*
Have you ever considered being beautiful, handsome, or whatever being bad? Dont u think that attracts to many..umm..."shallow" ppl? Lyke, you don't really know if they realli lyke who u r or they just like ur looks. Itz kinda more obvious when you're talkin about richness, how the money might be a reason for ppl to want u to lyke them. Newaiz...just thoughts.It's called a FAVOR!
I dont' know why people would think otherwize, but if you're doing a favor for someone or giving someone a gift or something along the lines of doing something nice for someone, dont EXPECT ANYTHING in return. You should be doing it because you're nice, not because you're expecting the person to return it.Friday, April 05, 2002

US owns the Internet
Argh... why do all of those sites only deliver to the US. Why are all those offers US targeted. So many sites assume you're in the US. BUT IM NOT!!! Won't accept my 3 digit postal code? But we don't have 5 digit ones here in TAIWAN! ARghhh.... if you want a succesful internet business..think globallyTuesday, April 02, 2002
Fwd:
Will these stupid chain emails that keep getting fowarded out to 25 ppl at a time ever stop? Email services claim they can filter them out, but face it...they can't. Do ppl realli think that they're going to die or have no love life if they don't foward it? Just playing it safe? Or what about those that say, if you're my friend, send it back to me and all your friends? Well, if you're truly my friend, don't send me ANY of those. And what makes me even more mad are those stupid advertising emails that claim they'll give you something for free. Can't I ever go through a day where I'll only find email messages that I want to read in my mailbox?F***
There's practically nothing wrong with a swear word. Except for the fact that it might offend someone, although they shouldn't be offended, except, of course, if you're swearing at them. That's why I don't swear, but still, there's nothing wrong with it. Unless you're just trying to look or sound cool. Swear words are amazingly effective for releasing anger and stress. But when it becomes part of your casual talking, or if you're using it seventeen times in a sentence, or if you're just saying it to sound cool...you've got a serious problem. This entry is horribly writtenStop bugging me!
I hate it. Those sales people who think you're gonna steal just because you're a kid. They follow you, ask you to put your bag by the counter, they ask you what you're looking for. "Are you looking for anything in particular?" "Why don't you put those things by the counter while you browse for more?" or even "What do you want?" How incredibly rude. I'm never buying anything from them.Sunday, March 31, 2002
Guilty
Yes, I'm finally done it, got a blog. I've been lured by the prospect of not having to do anything but type stupid messages. I'm too lazy to write my own page, it's not worth it considering I'll probably never update this, and I'm such a boring person that I have nothing to talk about. Yes...therefore if you want to hear me complain...check back here later. Cuz thats all ill be doin.
