I'd Like a Coke, Doncha Know

Have you ever noticed that people in commercials or TV shows tend to talk like you? I never understood that because there are so many dialects and accents in these fifty nifty United States. There's the good old Southern drawl, the stuck-up-speech of the East Coast, and, of course, the MinnesOtan accent.

DOMA overturned-- REJOICE

Hey, blahggers!  Big day yesterday.  Unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard that DOMA, or Prop 8, has been overturned, making gay marriage legal again in California!  Who's excited?  

So many people are going crazy over this, and there are so many reasons why they shouldn't be.  I'm gonna cover some of the bases that fundamentalists have touched.  Here are the main 4 you hear about. Some of them go hand in hand, but whatever.

Heya, Blahggers!

Sorry about my week-long lag in posting. I got a wonderful and amazing surprise graduation gift: One of my best friends from Minnesota came all the way to Virginia to spend a week here with me! I've referred to her before. That's right, Britt!

She and my parents had, apparently, been plotting for months and had kept it a secret. I thought we were going to the airport that day to pick up a close family friend who used to room with us because she wanted to see my graduation. :) Boy, was I ever surprised when Britt stepped off the plane!!!!

What in the Blue Blazes is THAT Supposed to Mean?

Oh for Pete's sake, blahggers! I just can't  for the life of me, understand these phrases!  Where on God's green Earth did they even come from?

Controversial

What is up, Blahggers?

So, my friend Britt and I were talking. And when we get talking, crazy things happen. And when I say crazy, I mean completely-off-the-wall-sometimes-I-wonder-if-we-belong-in-a-home crazy. But, then again, it is fun crazy that we can look back and laugh or think upon.

A Little Celeblahtion

WHAT'S UP EPICAL OF ALL EPICS WHOM ARE CALLED BLAHGGERS!!

Haha! Sorry, I am in a very good mood today because of several factors. One of them being that, thanks to the efforts of my fellow Blahggers, there has been a post every day, despite my lack of blahgging every day.

Fathers' Day

G'day, Blahggers!  And Happy Fathers' Day to all :)

Fathers' Day isn't just about fathers, but all the important men in your life you could look up to as a father.  Sometimes, that person for people is their uncle, brother, adoptive family, etc.  It's not just a father.  Some people don't have that figure, but rather others.  Sometimes, it's just your mom taking care of you, no men in your life at all.  I have a friend who said his mom was his dad and told her to have a happy Fathers' Day.  It was really beautiful.  Point being, it's not just a father you should celebrate today.  Celebrate any man in your life who has played an influential role in helping you grow up.

We're gonna win TWINS

Good evening blahggers!
Like the tennis chemist is a huge fan of....well...TENNIS, I am a huge fan of baseball. Like HUGE. As in, if there is a Twins game on any where close to where I am having a conversation with my friends, they know that I'm pretty much just going to be ignoring them.

Something Somber

Hey, Blahggers.


I'm going to head this one off by saying (if you didn't guess from the title) that this post is going to be rather morbid. It can't be helped.

So, I graduate from high school tomorrow. (Finally.) Any so many of my family members have sent letters and cards and stuff. Plus, some (Mom, step-father, Mom's parents, my siblings) are actually coming to watch the ceremony, despite several disturbances to the idea. (For instance, Beckbeck, as we so lovingly call her, took quite an nasty spill today and terrified all of us. She's okay, no worries, and she says she's going to be coming tomorrow...)

The First Time I Set Foot on a Stage

Hey Blahggers!

Look at what I found! I had COMPLETELY forgotten about this! Last year, most everyone in my journalism class submitted an entry to a Free Lance Star (newspaper, for those of you who don't know) competition.

Well, my mother happened to Google search me the other day, and she found it on the Star's website!!! :) I figured I mas as well post it. XD Enjoy!

Volunteering lame?

Hello, blahggers :)

Huge storm coming our way in VA so I decided to take this time to tell you about how enriching volunteering can be.

A lot of people think volunteering is something like picking up trash on the side of the highway when in reality, there are many opportunities to volunteer.  You can volunteer at your local library, like me, food bank, like I used to, soup kitchens, like I want to, and so many others.

The World Needs People who are Alive

Hey Blahggers!
Live those lives! Like the title says, the world needs people who are alive. By that, I mean both literally and figuratively, of course. So...don't be going all zombie on me. THAT'S not what the world needs. Unless...well, I'll get to that later.

Reincarnation? Think about it.

This is just a random thought that has crossed my mind when I was trying to find answers, a religion, or whatever.  I wasn't raised anything, not atheist, Christian, Hindu, nothing.  Currently, I'm an atheist, but when bouncing between faiths, I often dreamed of an afterlife.  One of the topics that crossed my mind was reincarnation, which was comforting, until I thought about it for more than a minute.

Beautiful Mistakes

Evening, Blahggers!

You're probably extremely curious (and in some cases worried) about the title of today's blah. Don't worry, it's not bad. Actually, quite grand and productive.

You see, I love making mistakes. No sarcasm involved. I mean, yes, there are many many cases where I HATE it more than anything, but  that doesn't apply when I'm playing or learning to play a song on the piano. Especially when I'm learning.

This Could Get Very Interesting

Dear blahggers,

Isabel (aka Latin fire) has pointed out in her blah that her views are very secular and liberal. There's nothing wrong with that...but I am the COMPLETE opposite. I also seriously like to argue.

Saucing up Science with some Theory

What's up, Blahggers?

So, recently I've been OBSESSED with this one YouTube channel called Vsauce. This guy is totally NUTZO, but the points he brings up are really interesting. He talks about why we find things cute, why we wear clothes, if our reds are the same. (That was the first one I watched and I embedded it at the bottom of the post.) Personally, I found this EXTREMELY fascinating. I LOVE science and conspiracy and theorizing and whatnot.

Your life just got better

Well, hello!  I see you've stumbled upon this post.  Congratulations.  You're reading the work of a true artist.

I'm going to start by warning you in advance- I can be quite mean and provocative.  My views are secular and liberal.  If you don't like that, sucks to suck.

Let me tell you a little about myself.  I'm Isabel Molina.  I'm in high school.  I live in VA.  I'm amazing.  I love pizza and waffles.  I'm fun and outgoing.  You'll love me!  I'm mixed with Hispanic and Caucasian.  I know some ASL and Spanish, but am only fluent in English, Pig Latin, and Sarcasm.  You'll love me!   

Your life just got significantly better, because you're reading what I wrote, and I am pretty fantastic.

'Sup, my blahgging Blahggers?

Today was a rather eventful Saturday. Much better than last Saturday. Last Saturday I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. This week has been a a real pain. No pun intended. But I liked this Saturday. I slept in. Which is a beautiful thing. Because it hasn't been happening for me much lately.

Blah blah blah...

And by that I literally mean, I have nothing good to say. I do however have some incredibly random junk that my brain is spitting out so I shall blather that at you for a good while.

Anyhow, hi again, Blahggers.

:) IM DOING IT! IM POSTING ON THE DAILY BLAH

Helloooo Blahggers!

My name's Madelaine, and I'm going to be joining the crew here at the Daily Blah. What a fun idea, right? I was in love when I first followed the facebook link here and started reading. So, naturally, I was pretty excited when asked to contribute!

Tying Up Loose Ends

G'day, my wonderful Blahggers!

Well, my second day of exams is officially over. Seniors take their exams before everyone else in my school, so the underclassmen haven't started testing yet and are, or should be, still in school. After exams, seniors can just up and leave, which I did. There are only two exams in a day and today was 3-Y and 2-Y. Seeing as I was exempt from my AP chem final because I took the AP TEST a month or so ago, I just went into the room and helped her clean. It was actually a good time. I DID, however, have to take my Spanish final.

Overview and Apology

Hello there, Blahggers!

First off, I wanted to offer my sincere apologies for the complete and utter disregard I've had towards the Daily Blah since my last post, despite my promise to update more often.

This year has been CRAZY between the job that I got at Vinny's Italian Grill, my classwork, preparing for college, life's normal dramas, extra curricular activities, and a whole bunch of other things.
