I am the king of the tape measure!

Speaking of Kings, Were watching Dirty Dancing on friday, so bring your black lingerie and short shorts.

I here A.P. US History sucks...

I come home today and low an behold, Newsweek has a cover article on How to tell Kids "No!" (that being from a Parents viewpoint of course.) What pissed me off so much was how true the article was. It focused on how material kids are today, and how their possessions mean more to them than things that are truly important in life, like eating and fishing. But what made realize how accurate this article is was from experiences in my on life. I don't hold myself to an ideal, however I don't consider myself materialistic. Having said that, I also realize that materialism effects all of us. In my school especially, kids clothes and cellphones mean more to them than their own futures.
The problem with youth today is that they have very little sense of self. They require material things to define themselves. And someone could retaliate and say that anyone who owns anything is material, but I am specifically referring to those who spend excessive amounts of money or are in a constant need for these sorts of objects. I think that if society could just be happy with themselves, then all our problems would be solved. ALL PROBLEMS.

I would also like to dedicate this post to my two pairs of currently deceased weekend pants. It was fun while it lasted. I would also like to offer words of support to my current weekend pants which are currently going under surgery. In addition, I would like to wish the best of luck to the current candidates for my next pair of weekend pants, and may the best pair win.
