A Little Bit About Me...

I'm 17 and was born on April 8, 1993. I have yet to figure out what career I want to pursue when I get older. Something with music, movies, or books interest me the most, though. My best friend is my cousin. My birthday is 4/08 and hers is 8/04. I find that interesting. My ideal girl would be cute and intelligent with a sense of humor and she would play guitar and wear dresses. You can say that I'm shallow, but I just don't want to settle for anyone. My preferred drink is coffee, even though it tends to give me stomach aches. I get good grades, but I feel like I don't learn much, and most of what do I learn is on my own time, not in school. At about age 9, I started teaching myself how to play piano. I used to steal my older brother's work when he was in Kindergarten and, somehow, learned how to read when I was 3. I taught myself how to tie my shoes. The only reason don't enroll in online school is because I like band too much. I have a crush on Hayley Williams. I have a really good memory and feel creepy when I remember certain situations. I'm a very awkward person. I really enjoy Folk music. I'm a lot more outgoing than you probably think. I'm happy all of the time, despite the fact that a lot of things annoy me. I have very strange dreams. Like a lot of people, I want to make a difference in the world or impact people in a very dynamic way, and I won't be satisfied until I do.

My Views on Controversial Issues

Don't tell me that my beliefs are wrong because that makes you look like an idiot.

Abortion: I believe that women have the right to an abortion if they want/need one. I understand that a life would be killed in the process, but ultimately, its the woman's choice. And we could benefit from the stem cells collected after the abortion. Not saying that I would ever urge anyone to get an abortion, but I believe that abortion should always be an option.

Affirmative Action: I believe that affirmative action is such a stupid program. I believe that people who really want to go to college, or get a good job should motivate themselves to achieve their goals, not rely on programs to advance them in the world. It's really unfair to whites and takes away from the principle of 'equality of opportunity' that we have established in this country.

Capital Punishment: I believe that if you can prove that someone has intentionally killed someone else, or if the person admits to it, they should be killed.

Censorship: I believe that people should not be sheltered. Exposing people to things such as a violent video game, or a sexual book, exposes them to what the real world is like.

Drug Legalization: As much as I am an advocate for personal freedom, and we should be able to do whatever we want, this is one of the topics where I contradict myself and say that I don't think this should happen. I just hate seeing people corrupt themselves to a point where they're just scum of the earth, barely getting by. I'm not saying that everyone who does drugs is scum, I've just seen more people than not, start doing drugs, mainly smoking weed, and becoming such a low-life and a disgusting person.

Homosexuality: I believe that everyone has the right to be in love with and married to anybody that they want. Whether they're white, black, mexican, gay, straight, bi, cats, dogs, or whatever, they deserve to be with whoever they want and nobody has the right to take that away from them.

Sex Education: They're going to have to learn about it sometime; it might as well be in school.

Womens' Rights: Women are equal to men. Enough said.

Religion: My beliefs, personally, are that there is no God. I cannot seem to grasp the concept that some supreme being, who appeared out of nowhere, created everything with his magic-like powers. I can't seem to understand why, if he is such a great God, he punishes people on a daily basis. Or why he would accept a killer, if he was a Christian, but not a Saint, if you will, if he wasn't a Christian. I can't seem to give God credit for things that I've done. I've heard people say "God helped me..." or "God gave me the ability to..." Own up to your own actions! Take credit for what you've done! God didn't do anything for you; you did it for yourself! But, I don't believe in religion, itself. I don't like to categorize my thinking into a stupid group because I have my own different beliefs. I believe that the Earth was created in a scientific way, not a magical way, or by a man with odd powers. I believe that humans evolved from different species, not that they were just put here by a supreme being. I believe that I govern how my life will turn out and that I'm responsible for both my good actions as well as my bad and that God has nothing to do with any of it. I believe that religion is so corrupt that nobody knows the truth and we never will. I believe that religion is what humans cling to because they are scared of the unknown.

I thought I'd save the most controversial for last. Although my beliefs may be naive, and may be subject to change in the future, as of right now, I stand by these beliefs very strongly.
