Officially trying again

Okay. I'm here. I've grown accustomed to the fact that no one reads this, and I've grown accustomed to the fact that it's highly probable that no one will. So instead of being a big baby about it and not writing every day just to spite people, I'm going to give the world the benefit of the doubt and say to myself "One day...one day."

Anyway, I've also started YouTubing myself. Is that a verb? I don't know...maybe. Anyway, I started doing that a couple weeks ago, and I think I liked it. I just haven't really devoted a specific time during the week to work on doing it regularly. And I also think my videos are too long, and unfunny. In short, after two videos, I've allowed my insecurity to deem me reluctant to make real effort.

Moving on. I do find myself alone with my thoughts from time to time. But rather than make me lonely and feel like a loser, my thoughts entertain me. And when I write them down, they tend to entertain others. Just check facebook for this.

Finally, the topic aside from me: you know what it is...everyone's talking about it...you got it! 8 kids go to jail for getting involved in the beating up of one girl, for the possibility of getting YouTube fame.

First of all, does it REALLY take someone thinking out loud "Hey, this would make a good YouTube video" for people to stop and think about how beating people up might not be a good thing? Is 2008 REALLY the Year of Enlightenment?? Had I known this, I would have done A LOT more of my own grade-school beatings, now that I know that I wouldn't really go to jail for it unless I asked someone to tape it. 

People want to call these kids "sickos" and "retards" for picking this YouTube thing as a reason for their nonsense. I bet I know what really happened. It could be one or more of the following:

1. Victoria's GPA is WAAAAAYYYY better.

2. Victoria just got a new boyfriend...and he's hott.

3. Victoria said something behind one of the other kids' backs...to the wrong confidant.

4. Victoria is actually better-looking than all of them.

5. Victoria was elected/voted/appointed/awarded something oh-so-covetous.

6. Victoria was actually loved as a child.

I can write a huge list of reasons why a teen's first instinct would be to punch someone in the face until they were completely unconscious.

And it's also been reported that after they got arrested, they laughed about it, and prided in the fact that they made it to national TV. Here's the thing: I don't hear anyone laughing when each and every one of them (except for the one bailed out by Dr. Phil -- something worse might happen to her) are made into Big Mama's you-know-what. Actually...I might hear some laughing. Coming from me. But then I'd repent. And I feel worse for the boys...I heard anal rape is no fun at all, especially when the word "rape" implies that you're not up to it at the same time Tiny is. And you know Tiny...he's very demanding. So I'm guessing these guys are going to have to call it "anal awesome."

I could say some more, but I'm actually exhausted. Let's touch base tomorrow.
