the other day i was riding my bike with my friend trianna and we saw a dog get hit by a car and was laying in the street howling for it's life trying to get up but it couldnt because all it's legs were broken.... holy shit... why me?

so i go over to help it or at least try to calm it down and it gets scared (completely understandable) and bites me on the hand and my hand swells up and i had to get a tetnis shot in the butt and i lost a day of work which, in my eyes, costs me 140 at least... why me?

but then i was thinking about it and shit happens all the time.. no mattter what.. and especially because i am always out and about and going on random adventures.. i feel like even though that dog bit me and i was in excruciating pain, i was with like 8 other people i didnt even know who were trying to help this dog out and then they proceeded to take me into their house and help me out once i was bit... THAT is life...

even though it was still suburban america in their safe little homes, it was still raw genuine actions from random people coming together for a common cause... black, white, lebanese, armenian... we had a mix of every type.. and nobody cared about the other person's accent or color...

i know i'm making a huge deal about this dog dying ((which he did in the end)) but it was something that i can look at for the bigger picture and not just for the fact that i got bit by it.. i'm not mad at it at all.. it was acting completely instinctually... poor thing

yesterday i went to warped tour and was just completely fascinated by all the kids that go.. i'm even more fascinated because i know that half of them were looking forward to warped tour for awhile and planned out their outfits really well to show off to everyone.. to be aesthetically pleasing.. to please the sense of sight of everyone else... AMAZING!

i went with my friend spencer ((hi if you ever read this!!)) and he had a lot of fun watching the bands he likes.. but i only really liked a couple that were playing and not even that much so i couldnt help but just watch everyone in amazement (i got in for free and mainly just went to hang out with all my friends affiliated with the tour))... people amaze me some times.. well, all the time.. just the way they act, their thought process that you can see painted on their faces.. man o man... the human race, something weird

ok i'm going to start reading again.. i'm trying to finish all of the harry potters ((again)) before the new movie comes out... i forgot how good all of these books are.. i'm homo for rowling no joke

angela... OUT!

Now You Know

ok so here i am sitting in my room finally having some time to read my Time magazines which have been neatly ((not too neatly)) piling up on my desk... and i just remembered now why i fell in love with this magazine.. it's super left-wing, we all know this ((well, most of us know this)) but it does give factual evidence to things that are going on now..... ok let me just present my evidence to my argument:

june 29 issue:

1."The average temperature in the U.S. has risen 2 degrees F over the past 50 years ((not a lot to us, a lot for the world tho)) if carbon emissions are not reduced, it may climb as much as 11 degrees more by 2090."

ok what does that mean?? a few degrees rising is hhhuuuggeeee for the world!! i mean in the span of the world's lifetime, 50 years is a walk in the park.... sure it's half, or more than half, of a human life, but it's ssooo short for the world. what i'm trying to say is.....

stop having kids please... they're not going to last... and even if they do, they'll have to deal with the shit you're doing now...

everytime i see someone walking with a stroller pushed by one hand and the other hand holding another two year old and then on a leash there's another child creating chaos behind the mother, i seriously have to stop myself from saying "STOP HAVING BABIES!! THATS ENOUGH OUT OF YOU!!" literally, OUT of you... please stop popping out kids!! that's one more mouth we have to feed... and with 4 million more people every week going hungry because of the rising food prices ((according to the World Food Group in Time mag)) we dont need one more selfish little mcdonald's-eating american fatty mouth consuming the last of what we have!!

i just cant take it here in america anymore.. other countries seem to be doing their part a little better than us... nobody in america remembers what it was like to sacrifice something for what they believe in.. the closest we're getting to that again is civil rights movement which is too far back for most of us and now the gay rights movement which doesnt affect HALF of us... everything is still too convenient but only because we're running off daddy Uncle Sam's credit card which is slowly becoming less and less reliable as the US loses its reputability because its spoiled brat children cant keep their mouths shut and their legs together and their wallets closed for one second.

Macchiavelli's The Prince explains that a huge part of the rise and fall of Caesar's rule was his providing of "bread and circus" for his people... if you keep them entertained and full, they'll do whatever you want.. but they won't start doing anything again until that is taken away.. and then, and only then, you have yourself a revolution...
