Jealous? Yeah, I thought so.

#1
Jealousy is a deep emotion that goes beyond a basic physiological response, it penetrates deep inside and hits people at times, when they least expect it. It starts in your head as you feel your face get hot and your cheeks flush then works itself downwards, penetrating deeper until you feel your hands curl into fists and you are reduced to an animal, ready to "fight or flight". Jealousy can be in response to someone getting the girl you like, getting into a college that you didn't, beating you for a solo in music class, all different situations, but all evoking the same response.

He kissed her. At the same time, John took off, hands curled into fists and face red as a crayola crayon. The girl he liked had been stolen from him , or so, he felt. As he seamlessly strides over, he gracefully approaches his "new" adversary and punches him across the face, attempting to show both him his feelings of animosity and to prove to her that he is the dominant male here.


#3
Jealously is defined as a resentment against a rival, and is a human emotion. It can be both powerful and weak, but influences many decisions made by those who have it. It can be felt by a person at any age, any gender, any race, at any time.

When one acquires jealousy it is not something that is as explosive or as fast as reactions such as anger. It usually begins in the following steps...
1. Desire- a want for something or to achieve something
2. An attempt- those who feel desire often make an attempt to achieve their goal
3. Failure- Failure is almost always observed when it comes to jealousy
4. Observation- one witnesses another achieving the goal that they failed to.
With the combination of these Jealousy is nearly always the result.

#5
Jealousy is a bad thing. It tears at peoples soul and causes unhappiness for the individual. When someone becomes jealous they often make mistakes and miss details that makes the world go round. Studies have proven that while distressed, people are 50 percent more likely to find themselves in a car accident and 20 percent more likely to make a mistake. Jealousy leads to mistakes, therefore we should not dwell on our animosity toward others and pay attention to detail.

I have never been jealous. Period. But anyone who says that is lying to themselves, so I must be a liar. A point of jealousy that remains vivid to me is on March 2nd 2009, the day i got cut from baseball. I can remember my hopes and my effort at practice/tryouts and can remember going into the results room with my fingers crossed, after my best friend came out just before me and said, "I made it." And then I didn't. I felt doomed on the inside, and it felt as if it were the end of the world.

Legit Post.

Translated Meanings from a Text Conversation, Part One, Max Hanson Associates originals are almost indescernible, even teen experts have difficulty


Person (P1): Hey
Person (P2): Hey
P1: What's Up?
P2: Nothin' much U?
P1: Nothing.
.................................................. (Both think, Where do I go from here?)

Slang has become continuously more common since the advent of the cell phone and, more specifically, text messaging. Proper English has become continuously more diluted with the influx of slang words such as Legit, totes, trippin', and sick. This has led to a tremendous amount of confusion and reflected poorly upon generations X and Y as a whole. So let me identify what some of the common slang words mean.

NM: Not much
OMG: Oh my God
Totes: Totally
Legit: Legitimate
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO: so
Poo: Poop
WTF?: What the Fuck?
2: to

Aren't these convenient? I know that in standard English I say What the Fuck all the time so thank God that one's there

Education- old post make-up

America is full of slackers. This point, made in Two Million Minutes demonstrates that Americans do not put half as much time in school as do our Chinese and Indian counterparts. This I feel is due to the fact that American's put too much time into achieving the top positions that are unrealistic. For example a position as an athlete where even if you are without any brain you make money. This is ridiculous as the percentage of people who are professional athletes is less than .02 percent. However, I am not surprised by the difference in the amount of time that we spend on homework as our laziness is seen in our ever-expanding waist lines. Americans are content with being middle class, whereas in India and China school is the way to escape poverty. Let's go America.


In the words of Jack Black in School of Rock, "Get off your ath lets do some math, Math math Math Math Math"


Blog Response: Girls are B*@$%^&

After my free-write I started to wonder what makes me different than women. 
Lets gloss over all of the aspects.

Maturity: Women mature much faster than women. 
Sex: "supposedly" men think about sex every seven seconds, women about twice a day
Hormones: men are ruled by testosterone 
Women are ruled by estrogen

Effects of the Hormones:
Testosterone: As testosterone affects the entire body (often by enlarging; males have bigger hearts, lungs, liver, etc.), the brain is also affected by this "sexual" differentiation. Aggression, is also an affect of the presence of testosterone. 
Estrogen: Causes emotions, reduces muscle mass,  increases fat stores
