Christmas

This year, like every year, I'm going to Grandma's house for Christmas.  My brother and sister wake our entire family up at 7 just to open presents.  This year, I'm making breakfast for my entire family.  Then at 1, I have to go to Deerfield to my Grandma Spiegel's house to eat lunch and open presents with my dad's side of the family.  It takes five hours because there's so many of us.  Hopefully my grandma will make Snickerdoodles, which are my favorite.  They're my favorite because I've helped her make them since I was little; and they're always soft and sugary.

I Wouldn't Want to Be Anybody Else

If I could be any musician, I would be Ke-dollar sign-ha. (Kesha). That way, I could have no talent, and yet still be famous for it.  I could look like I'm intoxicated in everyone of my videos, and auto tuned in every one of my songs.  I could buy pounds of glitter and wear it on my face.  This is obviously sarcastic, but I really do actually like Ke$sha's music.  I just don't like the way she represents herself.

U.S.S. Arizona Memorial

Out of all of the national landmarks in the United States, I would visit be the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial.  I would have loved to honor the men who gave their lives for our country on December 7th, which was the 70 year anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, "the day that will live in infamy."  On that horrendous day, 1,177 men unexpectedly lost their lives on the ship.  While America was suffering a catastrophic blow, Pearl Harbor was just the beginning.  It was a wake up call for America to get involved in World War II. The U.S.S. Arizona specifically intrigues me because there's so much history behind it; it was previously involved in World War I and parts of the ship couldn't be retrieved after it was destroyed.  Another reason to visit the memorial is because Hawaii is a gorgeous place; a place I've always dreamed of visiting.  Nonetheless, the memorial is by far one of the most popular WWII tourist sites.

As you can see from this aerial view of the memorial, the ship is still submerged in water.

Guys Who Wear V-necks

Personally, I think most guys who wear V-necks aren't attractive.  It depends on the guy.  If the guy has muscles, go for it.  They look good.  If the guy has chest hair, stick to plain tee's.  Newsflash: most girls don't find that attractive at all. Especially me.  V-necks were created for girls for a reason, and that's to show off their figure.  I guess your style is your own personal choice, but this is just my opinion.  Don't wear V-necks if you're hairy.

Turkey Day!

11/24/11.  You know what that means. Thanksgiving! It's one of my favorite holidays.  This Thanksgiving is going to be different for me though.  Our traditional family dinner is being held at my house this year.  That's going to be a challenge because of how small my house is compared to how ridiculously big my family is.  My dad has seven sisters alone.  That doesn't include my uncles, cousins, grandparents, nephew, great aunts, and a whole bunch of other family that I can't even remember their names.  It is the one time of the year where my entire family is together.  All of the guys in my family gather around the flat screen and watch the football game.  The Lions and the Packers play this year; it's going to be a good game, and an even better Thanksgiving. :)

Loosen Up, Lighten Up Day

Today, November 14, is National Loosen Up, Lighten Up Day.  I'm not exactly sure what that's supposed to mean? I'm guessing that you it means you should let things go, and be happy for a change.  Be stress-free.  So I'm gonna be positive today, and so should you :)

I Hate Everything

Today in my third hour Spanish 3 class, instead of translating sentences and whatnot, Sydney and I read a book called I Hate Everything.  It's probably one of the most hilarious, sarcastic, and negative books I've ever read. The author complains about everything from bird being the word to how water magically appears in the mustard bottle.  It's a very contradictory book.  There were a lot of sexual innuendos in it however.  So, it's not very appropriate for school, obviously.  It made my morning though!
