Today, in my physical education class, we had to run a mile. Afterward, I had nothing productive to do. One of my friends and I spent the rest of the class picking up trash off of the ground, all the while thinking about how lazy people are. On the grass in front of the concession stand, there were gum wrappers and cans. There were two trash cans near the stand. Couldn't they have just walking about ten feet and throw their own trash away?

Next we moved to the bleachers and started to clean that up. That was even worse. There was a football game last night and people left their half full drink cans all over the top of the bleachers. They'd left half eaten candy all over the bleachers and there were flies and all kind of bugs all over it. Last night they sold boiled peanuts and nobody threw them away. They left them all over the bleachers. There was no where to sit because of that.

Then my friends and I sang the Canadian anthem (O Canada) and we felt better. I also made up a song about juice because juice makes nearly everything better. I can't tell people how much I wish I was from Canada. That's a really cool country, the coolest on the North American continent. I love Canada.

Last night I aquired a new journal/notebook and I'm getting all of my close friends and family to write in it. Once I get everyone I want to write in it, I'll include some of my favorite quotes as well. Nearly every person has written in it about my world (Kandosa, Kandocia, K/Candosa, not sure about the spelling just yet) and how much they love it.

After lunch today, I've had a Doctor Who quote stuck in my head. "Please save me from the monsters, please save me from the monsters." That's from the episode titled 'Night Terrors.' There's this little boy who says it over and over again. Sometimes I wish that life were as simple as distinguishing the monsters and learning how to get rid of them, instead of all the things that I find complicated.

Most people don't actually find life complicated. They find it easy. For example, I never learned to tie my shoes the normal way. When I was in kindergarten, I could never tie my shoes the way that other children did, so I made up my own way. The other day, while I was watching someone tie their shoes, I learned how to do it. It was so incredibly easy. I still like my way better, however.

One of my closest friends told me this quote: "Closed minds should come with closed mouths." Oh how I wish people abided by that. Today in my PE class which I have first period, I was discussing religion with one of the few philosophical people I know. I don't consider myself to be religious. I do believe that there is a higher power, but until someone can prove that their religion is correct and the only one, I'm not saying I'm one religion or not.

With my philosophical buddies, one of which is a strict Christian, the other is a Pagan, and another is like me, we were debating all religions. We got on the topic of getting to Heaven. My father once took me to visit a synagogue and meet the rabbi. I think it's completely strange to think that only Christians are going to Heaven. One peer remarked that if I wasn't a Christian I couldn't go to Heaven because the only way to get there was Jesus. Another peer said that I was stupid to believe what I believe. "There is scientific evidence that Jesus was real! Read the bible!"

One, I never said that I didn't believe that Jesus did or did not exist. I never stated my views on him. I never stated I was or was not any certain religion. Two, there is no scientific evidence that Jesus existed. It's a belief. Third, I did read the bible. I read it last summer, from cover to cover. The bible doesn't prove anything because in order for it to be real, you have to believe it. My philosophical friend even thinks that one day our 'God' might just be mythology. 2000 years ago the Greeks and Romans believed their gods were real.

You are raised by your parents or guardians, and therefore, you will most likely believe in the same religion they do. As you get older, you do have the right to choose your own beliefs, but most people don't. Most children are raised to not accept any opinions, but their own. That, is why the human race is getting worse, not better.

Gosh. I love discussing religion. I wish I could do it professionally.

Humanity has nothing to be proud of. We have ruined our planet, we kill people for no reason, and we exclude many people. There are people starving right now, people that fight for their lives (I don't mean soldiers) everyday, and people who continually are left out for no reason.

It's something we all should be ashamed about. All 6.96 billion of us humans are alike in the fact that we were born on this planet. We shouldn't make anyone feel worthless just because of the way they choose to express their self.

Yesterday, in my English class, we got into small groups and discussed characters we had created. Neither one of my characters were perfect, nor were their lives. It was a fantasy/science fiction story and everyone in my group thought it was weird. I changed my story because of it, and I'm left with realistic fiction. Let it be known that everyone in my group likes Harry Potter. There's just a point I'd like to make.

Thirteen years ago, if J.K. Rowling would have told people that she was writing a story about a young wizard who'd lost his parents and finds out about the hidden wizard world, they would have thought she was crazy. Now she's the first author to become a billionaire because of her writing.

There are plenty of other potential authors out in the world who could be just like JK Rowling. There are plenty of authors out in the world, who are bestsellers and have great novels, that my generation has never heard of. I'm quite aggravated at being called weird. Who are these people who are allowed to judge me on whether I'm weird are not? Do they work for God?

I honestly can't understand why anyone would want to be 'normal' in this world made up of mostly self-centered humans. I'm glad I'm not a normal human who doesn't think twice about ruining the environment they live in. Someone once told me I was going to go to Hell because I believed that there is life out in the universe. Obviously, people can believe what they want, but they shouldn't tell me what to believe. That's why it's called a belief.

I asked a few of my friends if they knew who Carl Sagan was. Two people out of about eleven did. Most of which, were people in my honors classes with me. I think this picture says a lot. One of my friends just asked me, "Is that the dude that is on that alien show?" No, just no. Carl Sagan was a GENIUS. My stress level about this subject is so high, I had to put at least one word in all capitals.

Whenever I first received my glasses, I looked at the world around me in awe. I'd been looking at the world through a tinted view; throughout my entire life, I had never seen the moon correctly. Thinking everyone just saw it the same way I did--blurry and disorderly looking--I dismissed it as just being something in the sky.

The night I was outside, gazing around, wondering how I could have missed the pure beauty of the things around me, I happened to look up at the moon. It was not blurry; It was actually clear! That was when I was at the mere age of eleven. One night about a year ago, I was outside again. This time I was now used to the crystal clear vision I had with the aid of my glasses. For some unknown reason, my glasses slipped down my face a little. Looking up at the moon, I could see about half of it clearly, while the other half was very blurry, much like how I used to perceive how the moon looked. I was reminded once again how it felt to realize what the world really looked like.

I contemplated about the world that night. What if we were all looking through a tinted view? I had no earthly idea how the world looked before I put on my glasses. If we were really looking through a tinted view, how would we be able to tell?

Another time, I was riding in the car on the way back from my Grandma's. Loads of cars were passing by us and as I glanced at one of them, I was reminded of the fact that over six billion lives were just like me; we're all humans of this planet. We are have our own lives, things we do, family members, obligations, but we all share the Earth. Then there are all the people who have been on the planet but are deceased. They're just like us.

I'm positive there is something we are all missing, all 6.96 billion of us. There is something that is obvious, but none of us can see it because we're not looking through our glasses. The universe is infinite, numbers are infinite, discoveries are infinite, and I believe whatever we can't see is infinite, or either growing at a rapid rate.

In my geometry class, my teacher was talking about sudoku. Technically, the word is pronounced soo-doh-koo because in Japanese the vowel 'u' is pronounced like the double 'o' in loot. The vowel 'o' is pronounced like 'oh.' Most people pronouce it soo-doh-koh. One of my friends who sits behind me is studying Japanese and I tried to learn some of the basics of the language this past summer. We corrected the class, and this girl who sits beside me said, "We speak American. We don't live in Japan."

One, we don't speak 'American.' We speak American English. Two, the word should be pronounced the same, even if we're not in Japan. It kind of annoys me whenever I hear most of the US say Vincent van Gogh's last name like 'go'. It's actually not pronounced like that, but they will correct you every time.

My geometry teacher also was talking about how our generation needed to keep America from being stupid and to stop it from getting bombed. Hah, too late. Honestly, America does need more thinkers, but a certain kind of thinkers. He also said that there was no bad president. Mhm, yeah sure.

I sort of think I was born misplaced. I don't belong in the South. I wish I would have been born somewhere like Vermont, or even Canada. I would love to live in Canada! They have nice, cold weather there. I love cold weather. It's nice. I don't think there are mosquitos in Canada, either.

There's another poster in this classroom that says. "The only place where success doesn't follow work is in the dictionary." Again, that is true, but it can also be false. It all depends on what you count as success. I could say that being successful means sleeping all day. I'm certainly sure that most humans wouldn't count sleeping as working. It's all about counter examples. I actually learned that in geometry.

People also keep bringing up that the world is going to end in 2012. Well, a few months ago, I spent a few weeks researching that. The Mayan calendar is divided into sections; all that is happening on the Winter Solstice of 2012 is that we are changing sections. The calender doesn't say that the world is going to end at all. Catostrophic events have been known to happen when they change, however.

Holy Saint Francis, today is Jon Richardson's birthday! Happy Birthday, Jon Richardson. It's a shame that wikipedia doesn't have a picture of him. I first learned about him when he was on this show with David Tennant and Catherine Tate. He is one of my favorite comedians! Tomorrow is World Tourism Day; Happy early World Tourism Day! I actually made this week continent week. Last week was religion week. Today is Asia day. Happy Asia day.

Why can't people read? A ton of my Facebook friends are posting that rumor about how Facebook is going to start charging. It says on Facebook's login screen that it will always be free. That's what wrong with the world. People apparently can't read.

I started reading one of Ursula K Le Guin's books today. It's very interesting and I'll probably spend a lot of time at school tomorrow reading it. I have geometry and it's kind of a little boring to me. At the beginning of the year it was highly interesting; we were talking about different dimensions and Euclid.

I just found a bucket list I made last year. The first thing on it is to learn Romanian. I'd forgotten about that. There was a time in my life when I used to be obsessed with Romania. I think it was when I was in the fifth grade. Learning Romanian would be really fun. I go through all types of stages where I learn about different places. There's been Romania, Australia, Denmark, China, Italy, Peru, Scotland, Japan, India, and probably the most recent, Lesotho. This past summer I memorized all the countries of the globe. Well, at least most of them.

Europe and Asia were pretty easy. Africa was a little difficult; I still haven't managed to memorize South America. That's a shame. That probably should have been the first continent to memorize.

As for life, I have decided that I'm going to spend it doing what makes me happy: writing. I might never write a best selling novel, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that my life is actually fun at some point. My current plan for college is to major in philosophy and writing. Perhaps I'll get a minor in Latin because I love Latin. I took it when I was at the REACH (Reaching Exceptionally Able Children) Gifted and Talented program. I haven't exactly, ruled out medical school, either.

So far there are four careers that I would be satisfied with: writer, neurologist, psychiatrist, and a philosophy professor. My nephew is my inspiration to become a neurologist because he passed away from a disease called Arnold Chiari Malformation. I would like to become a psychiatrist just because it seems interesting and you can help people. I've always wanted to visit a psychiatrist and just talk to them for hours.

If I ever get to a point in life when I have a good amount of money, I plan to spend it starting this school I've already started planning out. Any left over money would go to charities such as Arnold Chiari, Spina Bifada, Alzheimer's and the epilepsy foundation.

I have friends that often joke about what it would be like if I were ruler of the world. We would call the planet Kandosa and speak Kandish. The truth is, though, that I don't think just one person can completely change the world. It will take a lot of people who are all doing the right thing.

In November, many members of the writing community are joining together to participate in a worldwide project. It's called NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. You can participate if you are thirteen years of age or older. The goal is to write fifty-thousand words in a month. You cannot write any of your story before 12:01 on November 1. I tried it last year, but I couldn't manage to finish. This year, however, I'm prepared.

At my school there aren't any clubs I'm particularly interested in joining. There isn't even a book club. There's a club called the Live Green Club, but it hasn't been started up yet.

A few friends of my friends and I have gotten together and started a writing club. We have yet to find a sponsor, but hopefully it will be started within a month. We have planned out many of the things we plan to do already. We're going to write a collaborative story, a script for a movie, a script for our favorite television show, and write letters to our most inspirational authors. One person even came up to me and asked me about the club on Friday. Perhaps there are even more people who love to write just as much as we do.

Doctor who was incredible last night. On BBCA next week there's going to be a season six marathon leading up to the finale. I have a theory that the Doctor is still on this place called Demon's Run and it has been his ganger since the ganger appeared. The ganger and the Doctor supposedly swapped shoes. Rule one: the Doctor lies.

I just finished reading A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Douglas Adams is another brilliant person to add to my list of geniuses. I still can't fathom why people don't believe in other life forms in the universe. The universe is constantly expanding and chances are, the universe is teeming with other life, we just haven't managed to have the technological advances required for contact. That is why the government should continue to allow funding scientific research.

There's a new Doctor Who episode tonight and I expect it to be extraordinary. The season finale is next Saturday, and then I have to wait until December for the Christmas Special. I'll probably write about the episode after I watch it tonight. Matt Smith, the actor who plays the Doctor is going to be on after Doctor Who being interviewed, so I might write about that as well. I remember this one time when he got interviewed by this person named Candace and it made me feel really cool. I actually think I'm going to go watch Doctor Who right now because it's Doctor Who Saturday!

Today there was this sign that said 'no boxs.' That's just like the time we were at an American football game and the Tennessee Volunteers were playing. There was this drunk guy there and instead of holding a sign that said 'Go Vols,' he had a sign that said 'Vo Gols!'

Pottermore: I am a huge Harry Potter fan. JK Rowling is inspirational to me and in my opinion, she is one of the most fantastic authors on this planet. I've read all the books and seen all the movies except the very last one. I don't like movie theaters. I registered on the sixth day of the early registration process and I'm supposed to get early entry into the beta Pottermore website. The site opens on October first to everyone and I have yet to get my email. I'm a little upset about that, seeing as there is only a week left until October.

On the Florida State/Clemson game, Clemson's head coach just said, "I couldn't be more prouder!" This is what I put up with in the South. It's called grammar, Mr. Coach.

Speaking of grammar, I love it. I was the only person in my class who actually said they liked it. Everyone thought I was being sarcastic. Is it a 'sin' to love grammar? It agitates me when people speak incorrectly. I just want to yell at them. Last year, people even used to call me The Grammar Queen.

I have a poster of President Obama when he was inaugurated in my room. It is the first thing someone sees when they walk into my room. I had a friend over one day and her mother was here. She walked in and said that President Obama shouldn't get paid because of how the unemployment is in the US. I wish people would learn how the government works before they open their mouths. President Obama can't do anything without the help of the United States Senate and the House of Representatives.

Holy Saint Francis. I love Shakespeare. How can anyone not love him? He's the best part of literature. Without him, many stories would not exist today. He is the basis of many songs, movies (that I don't watch) and obviously books. I had an English teacher last year who didn't like Shakespeare. That's just, I mean, that's just, that's just blasphemy! I don't understand. Yes, his plays might be a little difficult to understand, but if you just read them with a little bit of common sense you can understand it. If you couldn't then nobody would know what Romeo and Juliet was! For the love of Gallifrey. That is one of the most talked about plays in English!

There's this quote on the wall in my classroom. "In life there are no make-up exams. Choose carefully." That is true. If you wanted to be technical though, you could say that there aren't any make-up exams at all. I mean sure, if you miss your exam, you can make it up, hence the name 'make-up exam,' but truthfully once you miss that very first exam, you've already altered your life. See, THAT is the kind of thing you learn from watching Doctor Who!

Another thing, and I'm going to criticize myself, I hate when people put words in all capitals. It just looks so...strange to my brain that always, well most of the time, thinks grammatically. That's why I hate when people don't spell out numbers. It annoys my brain. If I were ruler of the world, we would only use numerals in mathamatical equations and occasionally in science.

Two subjects I really enjoy talking about: religion and philosopy. My own Grandmother called me crazy because of some of the things I say. It's alright though. I may be crazy, but at least I'm not willingful ignorant.

Quote: "Concientious stupidity and willingful ignorance are the two most dangerous things in the world." Martin Luther King Jr.

• Buddhists do not 'follow' Buddha. The Buddha is not a prophet, he was a human, just like you and I are. People always fail to recognize this. In other news, I have started contemplating everything. What is the answer to life and everything in general? Forty-two. When will the world end? When the humans destroy it. Why are we here? To find our own personal pursuit of happiness. What is the worst thing in the world? Human ignorance. How will the world end? This one is a little hard. I think it will end in fire, but by some sort of nuclear power.
  
  

• Everyone else in my class is playing computer games while we have free time to do what we want, in my Digital-In-Tech class. I'm writing a post for this blog. What does that say about the human race? I suppose it has to do with the fact that I just enjoy writing. Yet, computer games will get you no where, except if they are Doctor Who because that is the greatest show in the world. I learn a good deal about history and occasionally science. I would love to be a part of it one day, but I'm American and the only thing I might be able to do was write, but they will always have more brilliant writers than me, i.e. Steven Moffat. The only other computer game I can justify is any Sims game. I play Sims 3, which I can play for hours on end. Hank Green said something along the lines of how he thought it was interesting that people actually want to play a game about people. I agree with everything he said, and I think that Sims games teach you about life.
  
  

• My English teacher gave us one of the best assignments I've ever had; we get to create two characters. A lot of people are complaning about it, but to me, it's a lot of fun, and it's easy for me to create a character. I've actually already finished. The only thing I had trouble with was finding different genres of music, but that's because I don't really like music all that much. I don't like music that much, either. People often can't believe that I haven't seen classical children's movies such as: The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, etc. I counted it up the other day and I believe I have only been to the movies about eight times in my entire life. I read a lot, so I feel that justifies everything.
  
  

• Actually I could be classified as a "technofobe". I don't like to go to the movies and I don't like to talk on the phone or actually use it. I absolutely detest television and I only watch it two hours a week, Saturdays for Doctor Who and occasionally Tuesdays to watch Glee (how American of me). I mainly only watch it because of Darren Criss, who was Harry Potter in A Very Potter Musical. I watch Doctor Who for the obvious reasons that I explained above. I do however get on the internet quite a lot. That disqualifies me from being a technofobe, I believe. I spend a majority of that time on YouTube watching the Vlogbrothers. They in turn make me more intelligent, so I believe that should cancel out the bad effects of YouTube.
  
  

• Now that I come to think of it, I'm classified as weird. Well, I've always known that, but I've been accepting and embracing it along with my nerdiness. Who wants to be 'normal' with the way the members of the 'normal' human race are? I don't. I think it's better to embrace yourself rather than be an idiot and pretend to be normal. That's just ridiculous. I read history books for fun; I watch videos to become more awesome; I like writing so that I can create worlds; yeah, I'm not normal, but I think I'm just unique, so it's alright.

I am disgusted with human intelligence. To make myself feel better about this situation, I thought I would talk about some of my most influential geniuses in history.

Albert Einstein: This one is sort of obvious why. Albert Einstein influences me personally because of his determination to solve problems. He didn't care what anyone else thought; he did what he had to do to solve his problems. He occasionally even got things wrong and laughed about it. He wasn't good at everything either, just science, mainly physics. He was better than average at math but he didn't really care about it until he got older. People laughed at him all the time, but it never stopped his thinking process.

Carl Sagan: I will start this paragraph off with a quote by Carl Sagan. "But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown." The quote just about sums everything up I was saying about Einstein. Carl Sagan is a genius because of his witty quotes, his phenomenal books, his quest for knowledge. He also wrote one of my favorite books, titled Contact.

Harper Lee: She wrote one of my favorite books that not many people can understand, although it is on a perfectly understandable level. The fact that she could write that great of a book automatically clasifies her as a genius, most authors can only dream of writing a book that is so meaningful.

JK Rowling: She is another one of my favorite authors. I believe that she was also the very first author to become a billionaire. Although, I don't believe that happiness can be achieved through money, I think that it's incredible for her to do that. Harry Potter is written in an amazing use of writing. It will continue to be around for ages, and will always be a part of my childhood.

Steven Moffat: This man is an utter genius. Doctor Who is excellent because of him. Not to say that it wasn't excellent before, I just prefer Steven Moffat's writing to Russel T. Davies. His use of a plot continues to amaze me every single Saturday night. Doctor Who is a brilliant show, and it needs tons of twists to make it that way. Steven Moffat can almost always achieve this.

I wish someone would invent a knowledge bomb, sort of like the reality bomb from Doctor Who, but not really. When the bomb would go off, it wouldn't kill anyone. The bomb's fumes would be inhaled by everyone and all ignorance would vanish from the world. I'm not sure, but that might actually decrease the number of problems the world has.

Of course it couldn't do anything about the environment, nonrenewable resources, or the innocent people who were wrongfully killed. But (my English teacher says that you can in fact start sentences with a conjunction) it could stop a good bit of judgement in the world. Without people judging other people, I believe the human population would be ninety nine percent better.

Numbers: I don't like when people just put numbers down in anything other than my math class. It makes me feel bad whenever someone writes or text messages actual numerals. An example: Meet me at 2 tomorrow. I would say: Meet me at two tomorrow. It makes me angry when teachers use the numerals as well. Using just the numerals makes it seem as though the person doesn't know how to write the number out. Although, considering where I live, they might not actually know how to write the word.

I am ashamed of the US tonight. Well, I have been for a while. There are many reasons for this. The first and most important is the fact that two innocent people may be killed tonight because of our perfect government. The second reason is American stupidity.

I was sitting in the car one afternoon while my Mother was inside McDonalds (how American of us). The radio was on and it was George Washington's birthday. This man on the radio says, "Let us wish a Happy Birthday to the first president of the United States, George Bush!" Why do we have so much pride in the US if some of us don't even know the history?

Another time in class:

American 1: Asians are cool!

American 2 to Asian 1: Hey, Asian 1, you're Asian!

American 3 to Asian 1: I thought you were Chinese?

Not to mention what happened today.

I enjoy books. I generally enjoy being around them; seeing a great book collection makes me extremely happy. Most of the time I go to my school library in the mornings when I get to school, and at lunch. I prefer to be around small amounts of people, so I dislike being in the commons areas with the entire school population. The librarian said I'd been "going to the library too much."

Excuse me? How exactly, Oh Genius Library Person, can you visit a library too much? Maybe if you actually thought about it, it's a good thing I go to the library. One day, I might be a bestselling novelist, and then I can tell everyone how you banned me from the library. Brilliant.

In other news, I was studying and my Grandmother was watching television when this commercial came on. "Find out later tonight what the nerdiest country is that no one wants to visit!" I would love to visit that country.

I live in a relatively small city in the South-Eastern United States. Here, you can be an outcast for many creative reasons. One of the most interesting to me is religion. I don't consider myself to be a Christian; I believe in God, but not in the way Christianty teaches. Currently I am trying to read as much as I can about all religions of the world.

Yesterday I checked out a book titled Islam from my school library. I recieved all kind of strange looks from people. One fellow peer even remarked, "I'm not touching that book, they ruined our country." Did they? Did they really?

I'm pretty sure that the US government ruined the country, not a few Muslim extremists. Apparently though, some people here think that any one who is not a Christian is terrible. Scratch that, most people here think that. Although, if they knew anything about Islam at all, they would know that Islam teaches about being peaceful.

For the record, I think that if you're Jewish, Islamic, Christian, Hindu, or whatever your religion is, you should still try your best to learn about other religions. There is a huge difference between learning about a religion and practicing it. If you read a book about the history of Poland, that doesn't make you Polish, it just increases your knowledge about Poland. It's the same thing with reading books about religion.
