Hacked Lora's AIM account (or more just logged on, I know her password)... Math homework, and not much else.

Yes. Math homework is kind of pointless. I know the material we are studying, but does our teacher give us a break? Not really.

But yes. I logged on to AIM as Lyorah, or as others know her, Lora.

Rachel, might you get on sometime? You have not been on in a while.

And Lyorah's new glasses make her look vaguely like me.

(or in rachel's case, teekae)

(or in guy's case, dexter...)

I cannot believe I just put that last one. No point in deleting it, let everyone have a good laugh, hmm?

once again,

Hello, everyone.

I feel like posting, but I do not know what I was to post about. Perhaps it is better if I not post at all, because then I get confused. But I have already posted this, so never mind.

-dex

And it is 12:05 in the morning right now.

I do not know of a title for this. I am not sure.

Well, what CAN you be sure of? Death, I know someone is thinking death. Well, I am already dead, so... I repeat: What can you be sure of?

How can you be sure of life, I should say?

How can you be sure that everything will not just slip through your fingers at any given moment?

How can you be sure that everything you know will not just fall apart?

How can you be sure that everyone you know, every friend you have, is really a friend?

...and how can you be sure there is really something to live for?

Why do people take on others' problems when they are clearly under enough stress? To help others, you have to help yourself first. How do you expect to cope with ANYTHING unless you are sure of yourself first?

Why do people put themselves under so much stress that they spend two days or more sulking and depressed about things that they cannot control?

If you cannot control it, then why bother trying to? I am not saying abandon everything, but just step back and ask yourself, is this really necessary? Is this the logical thing to do, or am I doing this because... I feel like I have to?

-lyorah getting back at dex for hacking twitter-

hello...

Hello, everyone. I got cancer... and I guess it just has not really sunk in yet.

Nothing.

Has anyone ever considered that nothing is an unproven concept? Today, President Barack Obama was inaugurated. I look out over the white into the crowds... and see nothing.

What was that nothing?

It was the hyped-up media, the cameras and recorders, ready to scribble down and analyze everything said.

It was the hyped-up emotions, inspired by our new president's glittering speech, unspecific and only words.

It was the black truth of our situation, a gaping hole in the world.

We need to act, and act now. Think of our new president. He can not, and will not, do this for us.

We need to do something. Not everything- everything is an unproven concept even more than nothing is.

We need to shut those useless corporations and industries down that keep polluting our air.

We need to shut them up so that we, in THIS generation, are not having to scramble around at the last minute to find answers to what THEY did.

People say this world is a messed-up place.

They are dead wrong, and the biggest idiots (for lack of a better word... hm...) in the known and unknown worlds.

This world is a beautiful place. They are the ones messing it up.

This world is our world. And I do NOT mean "ours" as in "the human race," because most of the human race does not deserve it.

Some do, and those are the people who reuse things, who recycle, who CARE about this world, their family, their descendants, and the rest of their fellow humans.

Those who do not, get out and leave us to fix your mess, because all you will do is destroy it.

Every 3 months Americans trash enough aluminum cans to rebuild the entire U.S. air fleet.

Every second, Americans trash 700 plastic bottles. That's enough to make 2 million fleece sweaters every day.

There are a lot of things you can do, however, and they have more of an impact than people realize. For example, recycling just ONE aluminum can saves enough energy to power a TV for three hours.

What are we going to do? There is a difference. For goodness' sake, people, use your brains! You CAN make a difference. You CAN do something.

Like our single aluminum can.

I look over the white into the crowds... and see nothing.

I see the blank, depressing hole of nothing right in the middle.

What do we do? This hole is in the crowds, it exists in all of us... and it is about to penetrate our entire world.

And no one cares.

I look over the white into the crowd... and see something.

I see the hope not of our country, not of our nation, not of our world... but of it and its people. We are ready to stand up for what we believe in. We are ready to face down the challenges we have before us... and we are ready to win.

What do we do? We fill this hole in not with our hope, nor power, but our determination to win.

Oh, and Lyorah? Thanks for typing this for me... while I sat there and dictated what to type.

Do I use conjunctions?

It has just occurred to me, and a few other people, that I seldom use conjunctions (isn't, aren't, don't, etc...). Do I? It is surprising- oh, there, I did not use a conjunction. And again, there.
