A Letter to the Unknowledgable

Dear poor souls who take time to read my blog,
My life has changed.
From now on I am forever a lover of Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
I have recently watched 500 days of summer and am now entirely certain that I am the number one fan of that movie, and more specifically. that boy.
Yes, I realize the patheticness of blogging about my love for Joe, but like Disney Channel says, "express yourself."
Anyways, as you have guessed I love this movie.
Its brilliant!
Not just another chick flick.
It has depth and creativity, something most movies today seriously lack.
My only regret after watching this movie is that I didn't create it first.
Love,
Marissa Gordon-Levitt
p.s. so i discovered how to add pictures so enjoy! But not too much...

Procrastinating Math and its Positive Results

Math stinks. So while I was procrastinating, my older brother was watching music videos. So I decided to join him and of course he was watching Taylor Swift's "You Belong to Me," since Taylor's talentless music is taking over the world. So while I was not doing my math, Taylor actually inspired something. Odd. But in her music video she and this boy secretly like each other but because she is a "nerd" and he is with the obnoxious "hottie," they can't tell each other. But it could never end like that or little girls (or 30 year old men in my brother's case) would be in an uproar! Instead they corrupt young minds by instilling the shallowness of the world. In the end the "nerd" walks into the dance transformed into a new kind of hottie. Of course the boy sees her, leaves his obnoxious hot girlfriend and they kiss and fall instantly in love. Sounds cute right? But what Taylor is missing here, like many other cheesy chick flicks, is why he couldn't be with her before? Because then, he would rather be with the "hottie" with the status, that the video shows he obviously didn't like, than be with the "nerd" that he always liked. So according to Taylor, if I want that boy that I am secretly crushing on right now I have to change my entire appearance and status. And this is what we are instilling in these young girls' minds. No wonder the world is the way it is.

Virtual vs Reality

Let me be mom for just a second.
So I have been thinking for the past couple of months on why this world has become so corrupt, no, what is the word I'm looking for...ridiculous! Through my study, I have come to this hypothesis; virtuality.
Our lives our based off this one thing. It's pathetic to watch. My seminary class, no offence to any of them for they are all great people, text like it's their job! And let me tell ya, they should go pro. My point is, people have lost all respect, cares, and sustenance for what? A piece of brain-sucking metal? People say things over texting that they never would in person, therefore, making it not real. Call me a hypocrite, I know I have done it too, but that is why I am writing about it. Someone once told me, "to write well you must write about what you know." This is what I know: virtuality is the factor of most fakes, pervs, and violence.
I have seen first-hand the problems technology causes. Yes, I realize the irony of me addressing this over the internet, but maybe that is the only way the point will get accross.
Here's a good example of virtuality taking over one's life: So I came home from school on friday and wanted to watch some Gilmore Girls, wind down from my stressful week, eat some crap and wait for someone to call me. Typical friday. But as soon as I sunk into my friendly leather couch my brother storms in, demanding the TV to play Halo. I told him he could have it when I was done in an hour, but that wasn't good enough for him. He called my mom and insisted that she make me give him the TV so he could play his game. He didn't get his way so he ended up yelling at my mom, at my sister-in-law, and at me because he couldn't waste his life pretending to blow other humans up. So I saved him the embarassment of yelling at any more unfortunate by-standers and let him have the TV, which he spent the whole next 9 hours on and picked up the next day for a total of 13 hours.
I share this sad story because it is a typical occurance going on everyday. Boys squander their life away playing some violent game that slowly eats away their brain, while girls waste their life away texting, or watching chick flicks and expect life to be that way, which just makes them depressed when they realize that boys aren't like that, because their brain has been eaten.
So the solution is simple: put down the phone, the controler, the remote, and do something with your life! Technology is good, but not when it is so abused.
