Burning Hot Fraternity and Sorority Dances

Two Fridays ago, Stephenson High got a taste of some hot college dance routines. There were three groups that I took particular interest. The first group consisted of a black and red-adorned cheerleading squad; you know with flips and whatnot. I mean the entire gym was sitting in complete awe, completely memorized at the spectacular event that was taking place before their eyes. Looking back at their routine, I think they did the best. The next group up were the AKA's. Dressed in their traditional colors of green and white, they torn up that gym floor. Their passionate steps were only outdone by their finale when they threw up the AKA hand insignia. That really set it off. The third and final group were pretty spiffy looking with their Steve Urkel attire. There is actually no way to describe these guys, trust me I tried and there isn't one world in the English language. So I guess I'll go with the French phrase le meilleur du meilleur which roughly translates to the best of the best. This group did about every verb in their routine; they popped, locked, and dropped it...literally. Well that's about all I have to say. Thnx for listening and I hope you enjoy the video.

Invisible Kids - The Curious Case of Comfort Zones

They sit in the very back of the classroom, lurk through the halls with the swiftness ninjas, and hide in ever crevice of the school. No, these aren’t cockroaches or water bugs. They’re the “Invisible Kids” (dun dun dun). Whereas such a title would be pretty badass in a comic book, this is not really something you want to be known for or…not known for I guess. One rarely meets an “Invisible Kid” on any given day; you will however see ALL of them come graduation. As the walk across the stage to get their run-of-the-mill awards i.e. Good Citizenship and A/B Honor Roll, their classmates sit there with all of their awards and certificates wondering, “Why how could they suck sooooo bad?” Well let’s take a peek into their high school career (fuzzy “going back in time” transition).

Meet Jane and Jack Doe. They went to Blandwood Middle in the middle of the “bustling” city of Plainville, New Dull. Upon entering high school, they don’t have any big hopes of high school or life at that matter. Jane Doe (pictured LEFT) just wants to be a clock tester due to love of watching clocks tick and tick aanndd tick. Jack Doe (not pictured due to camera flashes hurting his eyes and probably bouncing off of his pasty white skin and doing the same to yours) has more “aspiring” dreams. He wants to make it big…as a pickle jar capper that is if he doesn’t make it into the NSRA (National Slug Racing Association) and I bet you thought it was the National Street Rod Association. Jack and Jane take the same classes, not AP or even Honors just enough to get by, you know the basics i.e. 2 foreign languages, core classes, the REQUIRED physical education freshmen year. Afterschool you say? Well if they’re not at home counting dust mites, probably something that’s not mainstream *cough cough the Japanese Club* in order to show off their “individuality.” Their weekends seem to be reserved for playing Trouble with their parents’ friends’ kids’ dog. This goes on for a week, only to repeat itself the next week.

Seems like a life led by a champion, right? Wrong. At this point, one might need to take a step back, breathe a little, and ponder the question “How could it have come to this?” Well, I have learned that Jack and Jane Doe forgot to do one REALLY big thing: stepping out their comfort-zone. What I mean is that while being “happy with who you are is fine and dandy,” there’s a point when it’s time to do some things you never did before, live a little (well for all the Jack and Jane Doe’s, a lot). Take that pottery class you’ve been dying for, ask that hot chick three seats down from you (you know the one that’s “Vegan” and smells like hemp) to teach you how to play the guitar, or try meeting at least a new person everyday. Whatever it is just…do…it because trust me, you do not want to be an “Invisible Kid.” Thnx for reading and remember speak your mind, you’re your life, and do you.

Billboards - More Than Just Advertising

Welcome back everyone, hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day this past week. Speaking of that I have posted the results of the Valentine's Day poll below. Also check out my Viko off to the side (he used to say something different, but I had to change it). Anywho today I want to focus on "Social Responsibility." This is when you do, say, or display something that's offputting to the people around you. For example sagging or better yet sagging only to show the multiple pairs of draws you have on that day. However I'm not going to sit here and talk about ALL the issues with people and social responsibility (trust me I would literally rant for hours on end). Instead I think it's big corporations that should be held at fault for their lack of social responsibility. My cousins and I traveled the states last Summer and of course took MANY MANY photos of the local "attractions", if you know what I mean :). So one day we were crossing through Tennessee, strictly passing through with NO intentions of staying (to scared), and at one of the gas stations we happened to cross a billboard that went a little like this.....

My oldest cousin, being Islamic himself, went crazy about the sign, but due to the fact that we were five colored males in Tennessee, we shut our mouths. Even though such billboards may or may not have been intended to offend, this one surely went off the deep end. Nevertheless, these signs didn't stop there. They were almost everywhere and about varying nationalities; no one was spared.

One thing about these corporations is that instead of uniting minorities, they would prefer to poke funny at them through their one-sided stereotypes. The only problem? The fact that we allow such things to happen right before our eyes. This only results in other disunity between us and our brethren whether black, brown, yellow, orange, red, etc. Well it’s time to stop acting like children at the playground and learn to love on another. We are one family, one country, one people. Thnx for reading and remember speak your mind, live you life, and do you.

Welcome to My World

Hey there my name is Abiel, a usually reserved, laid-back (sometimes ijdgaf), carefree kind of person with some interesting and more often than not random thoughts. These thoughts usually come to me for the same reason I go out and do stupid $H!}: BOREDOM. But once every now and then REALLY outrageous things seem to happen to me like I'm a character in a fiction book; that's why a friend of mine -Victor (but I call him Chocolate Bear)- told me I needed to blog about anything that comes to me whenever. I decided to do this and thus the birth of Abielology (patent pending lol). This certain field, if you will, deals with randomly weird and funny thoughts that constantly flow in and out of my head (I usually jot them down to share later) along with outlandish occurrences that seem to ONLY happen to me and the manner in which I analyze them, but in the end has a MUCH larger meaning than it may have seemed at first what with the "bigger picture" ideals my stories will teach or at least try to teach the general public. I'll do the undoable and think the unthinkable so you can read all about and maybe even share some laughs with your friends about the insane things that happen to me. Basically, this blog will be about any and all thoughts that come to me whenever I'm not doing anything and the mounds upon mounds of misadventures that I carry out with my pals. So there you go, the first of many entries into my mind. I hope you'll enjoy but if you don't I'll gladly show you the nearest door...just playing. Thnx for reading and remember speak your mind, live you life, and do you.
