Hello everyone,
Of course it is my birth day woot woot. And today, i had a question of my own, why for those we love are we so easily brought down to say we are sorry, and in hopes that one phrase is ment to make every thing a little bit better. Take it from experience, I tend to make my girl friend mad every once in a while, usually this happens when either I am really mad or one feels lonely. When ever she gets upset, no matter how blinding the rage, I crumble down to say I am sorry, go until I feel as if I at the point of getting on my knees and beg. I don't mean litteraly. Is it a bad thing, I don't believe so, and I know I am not the only one. As a gentalman, I have no intetions of ever hurting my girl in anyway, and when I do, the pain makes me drop, that sometimes happens. For thoses who are quick to forgive, make sure you are justified to forgive, and don't forgive just cause you have to, make sure it is something from the soul, that what you are forgiving or begging forgivness to or from is worth it. When I ask for forgiveness from my girl friend, i know it is worth every breath or moment it takes, for in the end, with out her, my life feels empty and lonely. I know that if I can keep her in my life, my life would be worth living. I will always say I am sorry for being an idiot, and hate my self everytime i do something stupid.

New Time Theory
Yes yes, after some bit of time, I Teen Theory am back. I am sorry for the leave with out warning, and I know there were a... few people a little concerned if I was to return or not, but never the less I am here, with more theory's then ever. There were a few questions that were asked in my time of leave. The most common was, Where did you go, and Are you going to post anything again, along with other stuff. To answer those questions, life hit me hard and fast, both with allot of good, and a bit of bad, as life is expected to be. After my trip to the NYC, I came back and started to work at my schooling and found my self a girl friend, which took up most of my time, as well as getting ready to move and what not.
But on the thought to another new school year, that I found this tittle and thought very fitting, with all the essays and work to be done. School, a large topic that will be broken down in to chunks through out the year. But for now, lets look at the big picture.
School, a place of learning, in many ways. This to most is the first step into the rest of our lives, as through our school careers, we will prepare our selves for the future. Whether that future is our jobs, our friends, our attitudes and behaviours, possibly our lovers, or even life skills that will come in handy down the road. But lets face it, from what I just said, school is all learning, now take it from me, this is my 5th year of high school, and I don't go to a majorly high end school, but it is nice. Its not that I am to dumb to go off to University, but I just didn't think I was ready. But anyways, I think the biggest part about schooling so far is life skill and the friends that I have made. I may have learnt a lot of knowledge from my teachers, and sure its going to help me get the career I want when I finish school, but lets face it, if it weren't for my friends, I wouldn't have made it this far. One friend of mine in particular, a newer friend to me, but she means a lot to me, well she has gone for a bit, and to say that she is one of my best friends would be talking pretty low about her, lol. No I am not being mean about her, she means the world to me, and she is my proof that my friends have helped me along the way, and allowed to survive not only school, but the tough times in life. Ya we met through school, and yes she is my girl friend, I bet any money she is blushing as she reads this. But she also the proof that friends really are some of the biggest parts of school. See it is not that she is just my girl friend but she had a chance to go to a bigger school up north, that she says she has a better chance at getting ahead in the future with. I see for maybe about five mins ahead that she is right, she can get some courses that are better and different from here, possibly better teacher too. As well as a few connections to certain places for work and what not. But like I said, school is more then just the classes you take. If it were not for her cousins and their friends, she would be pretty alone, as she has left all her friends behind for a bit. Now it is not like I don't talk to her, though I wish I could just give her one hug a day in person, and I know that would make my life a little bit better to bare. It is not just me, all her friends miss her, as well as her family, which is another big thing about growing up. Now you might be thinking, Ya she is your girl friend, of course that is what you think, but no its not just her, most of friends have moved on to post secondary, and trust me, I miss them too. But unlike my girl friend, I can still see most of them every other week end or so as most didn't go 7 hours away.
And sure maybe the courses do teach us a thing or two. But take a look at a few of the courses I have taken in the past. Com Tech, not only have I learnt how to work in a studio bussiness, I learnt more as a person and about life then anything else, like how to work with others, exploring elments I would shy from, working as a team and or group, and getting things done while making great friends and catching up with old. Same thing with being a year book editor last year, taking control, voicing my oppion, and a lot from what I learn in Com Tech.
So see it doesn't have to be all books and studys, just because you think if I study hard, and work to become a robot, I may live happy some day. Whats wrong with having fun today, with your friends and family, and you never know, just because you don't get to go to the most expensive schools, doesn't mean you can't have an amazing life. Just think of all the friends you already have, and all the fun you had with. Would anyone really want to leave it all behind, sure there is msn and facebook, but who is kidding, its better to have those people over for the big game on a Saturday night or just chilling at ones house, then it is talking on the phone or computer. Don't get me wrong, if that is the only way then sure, it will do, but I am just saying, its nicer to have some in person contact then none. And just because you didn't get what you imagined to be perfect at one time, doesn't mean that you are a failure or that your life will be horrible. But remember, if you do have a chance, look at what you are leaving behind, cause you never know, you may have that easy ride in the end, but no one to share with.
This was just a thought, and I would like to thank 3 people, Goerge, Racheal, and Mitchell for their e-mails to help me with todays topic. As well as the teachers and friends of mine too, for being there to help and support me. Remember if you have any questions or concerns, e-mail me at teentheory@hotmail.com or leave me a comment bellow. Remember I will not single out a person due to name or issue that is over the top or with out permision, first names may be used in context where the person is not in any way going to be targeted for their comments or idea or questions.
Thank you to all, and may all of you have a great school year and the best of luck.

What is Another Teen Theory?
Alright I have gotten a few questions from people that I might as well blog about it. Not just the tittle, but what I hope to acomplish by bloging, and all sorts of questions I have gotten so far. These are only a few.
To kick it all off, "What does the tittle mean?" It means a few things, depending on how you look at it. One way I first looked at it though was that I was just another teenager with all these ideas and theories on life and growing up and such. It could also go onto my blogger name -Teen Theory- as like another episode of teen theory. But what ever way people look at it, is up to them.
"Why did I start?" Well to tell you the truth, I had all these ideas and what not about philosphy that I came up with or heard in my philosphy class. And when my good friend Mr. Nice Guy told me about his blogs, I went home and read them, and just had to start throwing some of my ideas down before my head exploded. Also I want to continue this throught out the next few years so I can always look at these in the future. As well I soon hope to start Vloging on you tube, and blogging is always a good way to start.
"What is my goals in blogging?" Well for one, to help others, as well as my self better understand life from different points of views. Alowing people to expand their ideas and help them. I look not really how things work as much why this is, or is it really. To look at things and not to doubt anything but to look at it with a better sense that all may not be what meets the eye. To many people look at things and see only the general ideas, we know that something is or that it just exists, but what I hope for people is to ask why is it like that, or does it work that way, or is it even real or just a perseption of this world that we are shown.
"Where do my ideas come from and what do I base them off of?" Well ideas come from anywhere, mainly my philosphy class, but others is just things I take from life and/or my lifes expereinces dealing with these situations or just my thoughts. I also take to heart a few quoets from my philosphy class like, "The only truth is that there is no truth," and "Just because we know that something is, how do we know what it is when there are so many forms of it?" That last quote we used a desk as an example. We look at a desk and we know it is a desk but what makes it a desk, they all come in different shapes and sizes. So is it deeper then just the materals that make it, or is it the essence of a desk that makes it one.
And the last one for today, "Am I afraid of being wrong?" Hell no! If someone has a better theory or wants to prove me wrong, I would be more then happy to debate and deffend my theorys, though, I never said that I was ever going to be 100% right on anything, these are just my thoughts and oppions. If you ever wish to voice your opionion, I not only accept it, I encourage it. It goes back to why i do this, it is all to broaden people perspectives on life's issues. And by challenging my thoughts means that you stepped out of the general thought prosses of excepting things and started look at things with meaning and ideas of possibility. Now not all my topics are on things you may hear about in philosphy classes, stuff like epistomoligy, metaphysics, etc. but I do look at what LIFE has for us, and sure I will touch base with all these topics and more, but there is no end to theorys and ideas.
If you have any questions or concerns, or any ideas or topics you want to see posted, comment bellow or e-mail me at teentheory@hotmail.com . Don't forget to check out my other friends blogs posted in the side--->

Me Vs. Time part III
Alright time to continue the series on time. Have you ever said thought that in a moment so perfect, you never wanted it to end. Then you look at the clock and its time for you to leave or move on.
Whether it is a the perfect date or just spending time with the most amazing person you can think of, or just a day at your favourite theme park, or its just youth. All come with warnings that life isn't forever and that time flies when you are having fun. Well this is true, as your mind is not preoccupied by how much time is passing by. So yes it is pretty much the opposite of part II where time won't seem to move, now it seems to move to fast.
I typically hear older people say enjoy your youth or that your teen years are suppose to be the best, only because time withers away everything, so really lets live up the time we got. Now I may be a Nice Guy (apparently to Mr. Nice Guy, whos link is in the watcha-ma-thinger over there--->) and I may not be the biggest risk taker or biggest party animal, but I do say, life is short so why not live it up while we have the chance. Too many times have I seen older people complaining that the stuff they missed doing in their youth, so I say lets not make history repeat it self with us. If you have a goal, pursue it while you can; you got a certain love, embrace it; and if you know you have only one chance for something, don't waste it cause it may be your last. Time is something that can't predicted to the fullest, even though we can guess what may happen, we can never know for sure.
I was asked about the future, and what it might hold, there are only a few truths that we can know for sure. One that we exist, and 2 that we will die. And that's the only prediction I or another person can come up with, at least for now, that we are all at one point in time going to die, so don't let time move to fast that you look back and be disappointed, take the time to do the things that you want to do, may be (once again) not breaking the law, or something totally immoral, but then again, those may be a different to other people, but that's a different topic.
My theory, "There is only one speed for time itself, its just whether we notice it or not determines the speed of it; but time is short, so live it up while you can." So, with that note, if you have any questions or concerns, or you have an idea or question you want to be answered or apart of my blog, comment bellow, or e-mail me at teentheory@hotmail.com

If you want it done right... Gets someone else to do it!
Alright, this topic is one that has angered me for a long time now. Have you ever been told to go do something you didn't want to do, but are more then expected to do it, you are expected to do it right and in the same amount of time it would take that person to do it. This is very typical with school work, house work, or just straight up work. Though I am hypocrite, if I could get someone else to do my dirty work for me, I would, though . But when I have to do it, well it sucks.
Have you ever been told to go do something out of your way, and then later on, get told how bad of a job you did. Well this seems to be a reoccurring act, and the fact that the job was at least attempted with out recognition, really seems to put people down. And after they get put down, what makes you think this person's work ethic is going to be like after that?
Okay, like the old saying goes, "If you want something done right, then do it your self. And if you can't do it right, then don't b****." Cleaning seems to be the worst thing in the world to some, or at least me. I know I can do it, but, I don't want to do it. So it usually takes me forever and in the end I don't end up doing "the best job" in my moms eyes. But the fact that she can do the same thing in half the time and a better job, well it usually leads to trouble, or me doing it over again. But it isn't just me, people all the time procrastinate on things, or just don't do the greatest job on it because they just want it done. But to think of the possibilities of doing it right the first time around? Ya, just not going to happen. But if we did, imagine, no trouble or a higher mark, or maybe some recognition.
Why don't people just do things them selves once in a while. Sure somethings that may involve our jobs, or school may require us to do certain things. But what about when you start doing things that others could do, but decide to just get you to do it while they sit and do something else? Is it lazy? Yes? Could it be because of an injury or disability? Possibly, but we still do it.
My theory is still that "Most people are lazy, maybe its because of our nature, or maybe its been the build of time and history."
Sorry for the short and rushed blog today, unfortunately with things going on right now in my life, mainly the Stanley Cup Playoffs (*throw confetti*), I couldn't make this blog longer, but I will try and get a longer one in tomorrow, but for now, remember, its just a thought.

Welcome to Life, Population... Creepers
Ya ya, tittle has everything to do with today's, easier to follow topic. Creeper kids are been spotted more rapidly; and I blame those who taught them to spawn (P.E teachers and the Internet).
How can you spot them, what do they look like, what is their natural habitat really look like, and how can you protect yourself from them? All this and more in the following paragraphs.
No, I am not drunk or anything, this is an actual topic, and thanks to a good friend, who we shall call "Kelly", made me realise this a few days ago! Not only that but personal and some of my friends experiences with creepers have left us with to much information.
Spotting them and what they look like. Back in the day, it was a lot easier to spot them, from either the way they looked or from the groups they hung out with. All in which have changed over the years. Now, today, they are harder to spot, they have learnt, adapted to our ways of life, through both looks and acting. But yes there are still signs that you are dealing with a creeper. If this person has, long or shaggy greasy hair (Typically black or brown), and smells very disturbing, you are either dealing with a creeper or a musician. If he/she continually follows you, while staring at you, you are dealing with a creeper or a little sibling. If they can appear out of thin air, and scare the hell out of you, they are either a creeper, ninja or midget ninja. If they hang out with pot heads/emos, goth/or people who have no emotion or facial expression, you are probably looking at a creeper.
Now creepers, like most people have a normal room, usually decorated in posters, and the regular stuff of shelves. But depending on the creeper, somethings may be different, or out of place or hidden. The out in the open creepers, usually called "fanatics" creepers, will not be so discreet about the obsessions, whether person, or life style, such as heavy metal bands to the Jonas Brothers, to Miley Cirus. Or it could be someone from school or a "friend" or just some cute person next door. The out of place creepers, will either make it so it is not so obvious, like posters above beds (ones of people they are creeping on, not if it is like a typical guy and it is just swim suit models, or sports.). But then it could be obvious, like a large nail in the middle of a cross, a coffin instead of a bed, and colours choices for the room could be a factor in this as well. Now hidden on the other hand, will typically use a closed closets to open up a shrine dedicated to someone or something.
And how to protect your self, well RUN away, tell them to back off or just ignore them. All are fine choices. But sometimes telling someone if it does get serious might be the best idea, cause this might be a little more then just a creeper, this may be a stalker, in which they will act with action, creepers just stand there and don't say much to others. So my theory, "They are just people that are a little different or unique. Don't be haten on them, like I said, be haten on those that taught them to spawn."

How can you spot them, what do they look like, what is their natural habitat really look like, and how can you protect yourself from them? All this and more in the following paragraphs.
No, I am not drunk or anything, this is an actual topic, and thanks to a good friend, who we shall call "Kelly", made me realise this a few days ago! Not only that but personal and some of my friends experiences with creepers have left us with to much information.
Spotting them and what they look like. Back in the day, it was a lot easier to spot them, from either the way they looked or from the groups they hung out with. All in which have changed over the years. Now, today, they are harder to spot, they have learnt, adapted to our ways of life, through both looks and acting. But yes there are still signs that you are dealing with a creeper. If this person has, long or shaggy greasy hair (Typically black or brown), and smells very disturbing, you are either dealing with a creeper or a musician. If he/she continually follows you, while staring at you, you are dealing with a creeper or a little sibling. If they can appear out of thin air, and scare the hell out of you, they are either a creeper, ninja or midget ninja. If they hang out with pot heads/emos, goth/or people who have no emotion or facial expression, you are probably looking at a creeper.
Now creepers, like most people have a normal room, usually decorated in posters, and the regular stuff of shelves. But depending on the creeper, somethings may be different, or out of place or hidden. The out in the open creepers, usually called "fanatics" creepers, will not be so discreet about the obsessions, whether person, or life style, such as heavy metal bands to the Jonas Brothers, to Miley Cirus. Or it could be someone from school or a "friend" or just some cute person next door. The out of place creepers, will either make it so it is not so obvious, like posters above beds (ones of people they are creeping on, not if it is like a typical guy and it is just swim suit models, or sports.). But then it could be obvious, like a large nail in the middle of a cross, a coffin instead of a bed, and colours choices for the room could be a factor in this as well. Now hidden on the other hand, will typically use a closed closets to open up a shrine dedicated to someone or something.

Decisions, Instructions not included
Like I said yesterday, I will be continuing on with the e-mail that was sent to me and Mr. Nice Guy with part II. This time though, its advice for a friend, now that's friendship.
The second part of the e-mail said "Now "my friend" on the other hand, she likes this guy, who in which our other friend hates. He defiantly is not very smart, and for whatever other reason, she just really dislikes this kid. But aside from that, "my friend" has her heart set on him. He does not seem like a bad kid, just I don’t want to see our tight friendship be jeopardizes by some guy that probably won’t last more then a few months, knowing "my friend" and peer pressure. She does not know what to do with our other friend, and I want to give here some advice, but what."
Ok now this one, I find to be easy but difficult at the same time. Once again fear does show, but not for all the same reasons. She fears the friendship of the pact and acceptance, but as well as to be able to keep this guy, but this is some what of a test of friendship and loyalty. To many times are relationships destroyed over peer pressure, meaning this will be just as big of a test for the two (if they decide to go out), as well as a group of friends.
I take it, that you guys have probably been close friends for a while, and like I said yesterday, that if a true friend sees that one has these truly strong feelings for another, then it shouldn't be a problem that overly concerns him/her. But then again not all friends are like this, for many reasons, she could be jealous, she may just not understand what her feelings, she could like this guy in secret, or she may be just hiding something from you guys that may be private to her. And if she doesn't approve it isn't something that should be focused on in a healthy relationship, nor with any one's opinion of who they are or if they are the right type, or what ever. All that matters is that they like each other.
Now one variable that is not mentioned is, does he like her or even know her? I am taking this a yes, but I know that if you read Mr. Nice Guy's blog, you may see something similar, but "Nice Guys" come in different shapes, sizes and intellectual levels. And who is to say that this guy is not perfect for her. But you have to realize, your other friend is not just going to start liking this guy over night, the best she can do is except the idea.
My theory and advice is, "We are all individuals with our own thoughts and emotions; so to me, there is no way of knowing others feelings." She needs to first find out if they BOTH like each other, the consult the friend that this is not her decision, and that either she has to except it or don't get involved. Once again, I hope this helps, both your friends, and those others reading this.
Remember for any questions, concerns, or questions or ideas you want answered, comment below or send me an e-mail at teentheory@hotmail.com . But for now, just remember, its a thought.

Ex-treme Problems
Alright, today is going to be a little different style of blog, see my friend, Mr. Nice Guy, and I were e-mail the other day concerning a viewer of our blogs, and have asked for both our help. She wanted advice on two issues, and for today and probably tomorrow, we will be answering them. For the sake of privacy, we are to refrain from using names, or any other information not concerning the direct conflict of this issue.
The first part of the e-mail explained "See my problem is, I like this guy a lot, he is a really good friend of mine, and I think he is starting to drop me hints that he likes me. One issue, his best friend is also my ex. My ex and I don’t see eye to eye, at all! Even when I try and come over to talk to this guy, we start to fight, and this guy always gets me away from it. So I don’t want my ex getting in the way of us, and I don’t know to do."
Wow, now Mr. Nice Guy and I have both discussed this topic today, and this is some of the things we concluded on this issue. Now our blogs aren't going to be the same, maybe some ideas the same but not identical.
For starters, lets look at the main issue, there is only an imaginary wall standing in your way from getting this guy. Now, I'm not saying that the ex in this situation is stopping you completely, I believe it is your feelings stopping you. Now I look at this, and I see more compassion than what is written, it is part of deconstruction, where you take out parts and dissect them to find inner meaning(s) (for an F.Y.I). Now lets look at this, what is stopping you really, sure you fight with your ex, but why not still ask him out, its not like if one feels that strongly about one, that they can't work out a compromise. But fear of this, is what I can see being the greatest factor. You may be more then willing to tell off your ex, but the real question, are you afraid of what might come if you were to start dating him. You would most likely see your ex more often, possibly fight constantly, and you understanding what this may do to your relationship, so in which you shy away from asking him, and if he is dropping hints, its because he doesn't want to see his friend to know, or maybe he is scared and want you to make the first move. As it is said Mr. Nice Guy's blog, a "Nice Guy" is sometimes shy, and him breaking up those fights are a sign of his courage. (Thank you Mr. Nice Guy for that last bit lol)
I think you are very smart and very nice, and my advice and theory, "Ask him out, but if you can't do this discreetly, get your friend to talk to your ex, so there is little conflict. Get him to understand that the feelings you two share are strong, and he needs to except this. And if he doesn't then tell him that it really isn't any of his concern, whether he likes it or not." Cause really you aren't trying to steal a friend from him, you aren't stepping on his path, so there is no concern for him. In fact it may actually work out for the best, it may actually stop the fighting if he understand and sees that his friend does feel that way about someone, most guys, Nice and Typical can and will see that for a really good friend and know to stay out of his business and not to mess with his girl. Trust me it may not work, in my case I have a couple of situations where I am really good friends with a guy, and also really good friends with his ex. Though both know this and even though they may not like it or each other, they see that I am good friends with both, and they don't question it or bring up the subject.
I thank you for the e-mail, and will answer part two probably tomorrow, and I hope this helps and that others can take from this what they can with their own situations called life. Remember, for any questions or concerns or even questions or ideas you want to see answered, comment bellow or e-mail me at johnysimps@hotmail.com (this will be changing tomorrow). And hey remember, its just a thought.

Me Vs. Time.... Part II
Today, I figured that I might as well continue on from yesterday, with Part II to the issue on time. But instead of procrastination, tonight's time topic is more on the question, "Dude I think the clock just got slower."
Yep, those are the days that you look at the clock one minute, and look up what feels like twenty minutes later, turns out to only be two minutes. This is a very common thing, especially being just another teen in high school, sitting through lectures are bad enough now, and already make it seem like the day will never end (can't wait till post secondary). But why, and is there a cure for this?
How about first, what are some of the causes, or is it just one cause. In my last post, I pretty well called people lazy, and really I blame people for being lazy again in this situation, along with boredom, at least for the most part. Think about it the times when there is nothing to do or you really just don't want to be somewhere, is generally the time when you start to think that time is moving slower.
Have you ever tried this, on the weekends, when there is a huge chores list, and its such a lazy day, that you figure, "I'll go "clean" my room and make it seem like chores are getting done, so that way I don't have to do all the stuff on the list." Well if you haven't then I will tell you, don't. Cause eventually you get bored, and start looking back and forth from the clock. Ya, time ain't moving as fast as you want it to, but why. Its because you are focused on the time, that your mind is more focused on that then anything else. But if you were to go out and do your chores, loosing track of time is easy, only cause your mind isn't completely focused on the time, but the actions required to doing the chores.
This doesn't have to apply to cleaning, but anything, work, school, hanging with the friend you don't like, anything. So even though this is a shorter theory today, get from it what you can, and trust me, this topic ain't finished here. But for the theory, "Time only moves slow because you think to hard on the wrong thing, distract your self, whether that's the task at hand or something completely random, just don't think about it."
If you have any questions, concerns, or if you have an idea for a topic, comment below or e-mail me at johnysimps@hotmail.com .

Me Vs. Time... Part I
Yeah, the tittle is exactly what this post is all about. Have you ever said, "F*** my life." Of course you have, or at least thought of it. (This wasn't the original topic of today's post, in fact it wasn't suppose to be until later on this week. But after tonight, it needed to be rushed forward.)
Okay, I might as well start it off with, have you ever been in a situation where you know if only you had done this maybe 10 minutes or an hour ago, or at any previous time, it might have turned out a little better? Of course as humans, we known to procrastinate, thought we know it is wrong, we still do it. Why. Who knows.
Let me explain why this topic had to be rushed to tonight. Well, like every Sunday night, I take out the garbage to the curb, as pick up is early Monday morning. And lets face it, I barely have enough coordination to hit the toilet in the morning, let alone dragging heavy bags of garbage from the back of my house to the front, so I just do it the night before. See there I said NIGHT before, usually it is at night before I go to bed, but tonight was different. I had to empty the outside bins, as they were getting full and they stank something fierce. So I had to do it with some sun light to see I, cause me doing stuff at night, is about as good as me in the morning. What I didn't know, was the cause of the smell, was water that was sitting with the garbage for a long time, yes it smelt like a swamp mixed with sewage. Yeah, eww I touched it, I KNOW! But after emptying it I realised two things, "I am going to chuck from the smell, and S*** ITS ALL OVER ME!" Yes, I now smelt like the nasty water, but because I was just hopping in the shower after, I might as well just take the bags out now...... Here is the worst part. Taking out the bags to the front, a REALLY hot chick walks by me, yes Mr. Nice Guy is going to have a chat with me about me saying it, but she was like REALLY hot. *wipe drool* Now let me remind you I smelt like ass....
Now if only I did this like 20 minutes earlier, I was back out there walking down the street to go get my brother from the park.... which was where I seen her coming from. Now might I say, "F*** my life." The best part is, was there was no stopping me from doing this even an hour before hand, but I guess I was just feeling way to lazy. I personally don't know why everyone does this, it could be just for different reasons, sometimes it strategy, sometimes just better things come up. For what ever the reason this theory is short then sweet, "Don't blame time for screwing your self over." Remember, its just a thought...

Conforming to the Swoosh
Well, I thought as a change from those heavier topics, I might talk about something that I believe affect most teenagers all around the world. I will admit that even I am a little bit to blame for this. We look at magazines today and what do we see; ads, photo shoped people simulating what true beauty and happiness, horoscopes, quizzes and the top picks.
Not all magazines are bad, but they only serve one purpose, sell. Not just sell the magazine, but sell ads, promotional selling of products, and selling an image. Now, its not just girls that ready mags, but it is almost safe to say that girls read magazines more then guys, and this could be dangerous. Most fashions, make up, products, are promoted in magazines, and most are directed to women. And depending on how a girl might take this, it could mean harming one self to look and be as cool as people in magazines. This could lead to anorexia/ bulimia. But there are now some magazines that are now posting pictures of regular women, with out the photo shop airbrush, but still when celebrates pose for other magazines, it is hard not want to look at that and want it. For this my first theory is, "Stay Strong!" Really its also advice, but ladies, and some guys, its not worth looking like a tooth pick. Though don't get me wrong, it is not healthy to be over weight, but it is better then starving your self to be like every other teen super queen out there.
Now guys, there isn't as much out there for us... bs, there is a lot whether we know or not. Pick up a sports magazine lately? Have you noticed all the ads for body spray's that would "help get the ladies." Ah yeah, its not like the magazines all the time. What about brands and logos of equipment, take hockey for example, as big time hockey player, all I wear is, Nike/Bauer. Ya one of the major equipment logos. But there is only so many, as advertising has put out competition to other brands except RBK, Warroir, CCM, and maybe a few more small time, but it is hard to compete against money. Or even just fashion, we look at some of the celebrates as well, look at Tiger Woods, he alone promotes Nike, that with out him, Nike probably wouldn't be as big as it is today. Between little options and bad expensive things not equaling the quality, really, "Quality over logo."
Ok now for the little things, between fun and sometimes, just down right weird, it is amazing on some of the things people will put in these magazines. Quizzes that would lead you to finding the right partner, to the top 100 ways to getting him... well you know. Lets put it this way "love" sells. People want to know pointers, or make it seem as if they are experts, when really some times its just completely stupid, or make sure that they aren't making a mistake in there relationship or one that is soon to be. If it isn't about your "love" life to worried about, its celebs, who's dating who, who had another affair with who, who cheated, who's pregnant, who got caught with a getting out of a car showing a little more then the camera's shoulda got. OR, is it all just for the thoughts of future, I mentioned this in a previous post, horoscopes are not real, they are just general statements, that when you read them, you automatically try and put two and two together.
I know not all magazines are bad, some like fitness magazines, show good ways to stay in shape, but still could be dangerous with over exertion and also the pictures of the jacked up people, well sometimes, the muscles they have are from athlete training, and sometimes, it can be very unhealthy to attempt.
Ok, here is the main theory on Magazines today... "Keep your eyes open to reality, and think for your self, and when it comes down to the fun, let it be fun, the photo shop, and the future, remember, its not reality." But remember, its just a thought...

Now guys, there isn't as much out there for us... bs, there is a lot whether we know or not. Pick up a sports magazine lately? Have you noticed all the ads for body spray's that would "help get the ladies." Ah yeah, its not like the magazines all the time. What about brands and logos of equipment, take hockey for example, as big time hockey player, all I wear is, Nike/Bauer. Ya one of the major equipment logos. But there is only so many, as advertising has put out competition to other brands except RBK, Warroir, CCM, and maybe a few more small time, but it is hard to compete against money. Or even just fashion, we look at some of the celebrates as well, look at Tiger Woods, he alone promotes Nike, that with out him, Nike probably wouldn't be as big as it is today. Between little options and bad expensive things not equaling the quality, really, "Quality over logo."
Ok now for the little things, between fun and sometimes, just down right weird, it is amazing on some of the things people will put in these magazines. Quizzes that would lead you to finding the right partner, to the top 100 ways to getting him... well you know. Lets put it this way "love" sells. People want to know pointers, or make it seem as if they are experts, when really some times its just completely stupid, or make sure that they aren't making a mistake in there relationship or one that is soon to be. If it isn't about your "love" life to worried about, its celebs, who's dating who, who had another affair with who, who cheated, who's pregnant, who got caught with a getting out of a car showing a little more then the camera's shoulda got. OR, is it all just for the thoughts of future, I mentioned this in a previous post, horoscopes are not real, they are just general statements, that when you read them, you automatically try and put two and two together.
I know not all magazines are bad, some like fitness magazines, show good ways to stay in shape, but still could be dangerous with over exertion and also the pictures of the jacked up people, well sometimes, the muscles they have are from athlete training, and sometimes, it can be very unhealthy to attempt.
Ok, here is the main theory on Magazines today... "Keep your eyes open to reality, and think for your self, and when it comes down to the fun, let it be fun, the photo shop, and the future, remember, its not reality." But remember, its just a thought...

The Certain and Future
Ok, to kick things off, I got a great comment on my last post, "...about how we know things for certain or what the future is idealy gonna have for us." And to comment on her post... "OMG major headache before I even start." But I shall give it a shot.
Knowing things for certain... Well this was a recent topic in my philosophy class, under epistomolgy (aka. knowing). After sitting through lectures, and a billion notes, I know now that this is going to be fun. To know something for certain is hard to understand, Richard Rorty has stated that the world is under a constant state of change (edifying) to some how better or improve all aspects. If everything is always changing, then this would lead to his other theory, that you never know when you have come to or are close to the truth. Though René Descartes believed that there was one absolute truth, and it comes from his famous line, "I think; therefore, I am." Meaning, because he can think, he exists, as that is a truth. For my self, no I don't believe we can know abosulte truths only because to know an absolute truth, you would need to know every aspect and detail of the subject. Take a pro golfer, who has played a course for so many years, but yet he will never shoot the same game every time. He is constantly getting better, he will never put the ball in the same spot; and with wind conditions, length of grass, there is no way of telling how far the ball will go or the exact direction the ball will travel. As well there is no way of telling for certain if the matrix theory is actually true or not, or even that this reality exists.
Now the future, well this I could make it easy and look at a calender, find your birthday and look in a magazine for your horoscope. But most know by now, that they are just general statments that aren't true at all, but yes they sometimes are funny or seem to be or come true, whether that was a complete fluke or just you went seeking it, well they aren't real, sorry. But to know the future, really I know its a dissapointment, but I don't have an answer. Now I will say, I don't think or even come close to believing in the 2012 theory. I know it seems like it is coming true between "global warming" and all these natural disastors at this point in history, but is it the warning signs of the end. Really there is no way of knowing with absolute certainty. But what is for sure is that for the not so distant future, people are going to live in their little nut shells her in North America, and other places in the world living their own lives out normally as we have been, and the world around us is darastically changing.
Thanks for questions, sorry that Icouldn't come up more of an answer to them though. But for any other concerns, questions, or anything you want me to talk about, comment or e-mail me at johnysimps@hotmail.com . But remember, its just a thought.

Half Way Theory(s)
Have you ever been in a situation where you had to choose either yes or no, maybe was either an unexceptable answer or just non existant? What is really between good and evil? Is life just black and white, and there is no grey, no inbetween?
These day's, people really only look at the worst and the best things in a person or about something(black or white), but what about those stuck in the middle, those people or things that are just concidered average, are they really average (grey)? When talking to or about people, we tend to focus on certain things that make that person good or bad, cool or not, funny or annoying. Really its one thing or the other, but that idea changes from person to person, does that make them grey if two people have opposite oppions of them? Or does it lie in just the person's own personal view of another?
Another way of looking at this idea came from a good friend of mine, Mr. Nice Guy (I will leave a link to his blog site at the bottom). But one of his last posts mentioned how Nice guys out there are like the tortoise and the "bad" guys (egotistical, cocky, etc) are the hare. Of course the reference to the tortoise and the hare was a great way to show how nice guys don't finish last. But what about those men out there that can be considered both, do they exist, if a man is cockey, has dirty mind, big headed; but he does treat the women with respect, is a gentalman, and is kind and carrying at the same time, does that make him a tortoise or the hare?
What I call the Yin-Yang effect is a reference that might pop up once and a while, part of the effect is understanding the concept of the yin-yang, a "complete" circle, that is divided buy both black and white (or oppisite colours). In order for the full thing to exist, both parts need to be there. In the yin-yang, both parts co-exists but never "mix" to make a completly grey circle. This is a way of looking at a person, we see either the yin (black) or the yang (white), as each trate of the person lies within either the yin or yang.
Sitting on the fence these days is often heard line when wait for ones decision between two or more things. But to figure if it is black or white, may be a truth to whether we live by free will or by a line of fate, as if we lived on a line of fate, then black or white was already decided. If it is free will, then there is something that always pulls us a little more to one side or the other, that just may make us fall off that fence to either side, can we concider that to be a back and forth swing between black and white or is just another shade of grey?
All in all, I don't know what to believe, it all depends on the situation and how you want to look at things. To some, grey may just be a way of saying there are some good things on both sides, but don't those things belong to a black side or a white side, whether you fall on which side depends on the weight of either side.
Remember, any questions concerns, or even ideas for a topic, coment below or e-mail me at johnysimps@hotmail.com . But, hey it's just a thought...

Way back when... How old are you?
No, I am not asking for your birthday information, my next theory is one that any teen probably has experienced. Have you ever heard the statement, "Back when I was your age..." Or some variation of this line. Whether from your parents, teacher, grandparents, or someone older, it always just has to show, how much "easier" we have it these days.
For one, I do admit, there are parts of growing up easier in a sence, but how easy is it compared to them?
Sure, kids today have the benifits of school bussing, not having to work when not at school (unless they want to get into post secondary), having all this technology that helps benifit our lives, and our own cars that most kids free load off their parents. Yeah, it does sound like the sweet life. But today what does it mean to be a teenager growing up in today's society.
Today kids are given the basic idea how to live their life; go to school, get a job, maintain a good average to get into College/University, work more to get the money to get into school, get a good job after post secondary, have a nice family and then retire and die. Some where in there, we are suppose to fit in; hanging with friends and having a social life out side of school and work, hobies and sports, and other activaties, shopping for the latest fashions (if you are into that).
In today's society, teens are farely harsh one another, they are easy to judge, especially by sterotyping people with the music they like, how they dress, or who they hang with. With all this technology, it is easy to get bullied and put down, because some people perfere to hide behind a screen then face one another. Cars aren't by any means cheap (after you add up gas, and insurance, and maintance.) School is harder then ever, and trying to balance all this with a job is next to insanly impossible. In my life alone, I go to school, (which I get homework in) have to work, play hockey on a traveling team (hopefully junior next season). To balance this and sleep, well sometimes sleep isn't even existant. And it was funny when a person asked me if I had a girl friend or a life, I told her, "I just don't have time for either."
And yet those older then us say that we don't have to walk a mile to school through the blizzards and harsh sun, work in factories, never had any new things (like cloths). But that was then, this is now.
So my theory to this is, "Times are aways going to be tough, and no matter where you live, when you grew up, or who you are; we are all different, and we all live in different times, so don't say that we have it any easier."
I know there is much more I could write about this topic, and I may come back to it in the near future, but for now that is all I have to say. If you have have any questions or concerns or topics you would like to see, leave me a comment or e-mail me at johnysimps@hotmail.com.

Just a Theory
Well what can I say, this is my first blog... The basis of this blog is to show what reality and my theories of life as teenager (Me, "Johny Simps"). I am not one to care if my "theories" or ideas realate to anyone, though I am sorry if I do end up offending anyone. If there are certain parts in which I talk down or bad about someone, I will defere from using one's name. These go for all my blogs, and will be posted ever so often as a reminder. I expect the same for my coments as well.
To get to the point, here is just one question to get me started... "Is one wrong, when ones actions were good?" (PART I) (Yes this is a large topic that I will be refering to more then few times)
It's not that every decision or thing I do is wrong, just seems like something has to go wrong at some point in time or day. And it's not that even things are wrong, it's just others are complete expert or have "better" idea's. Take this story as an example; as a yearbook editor, my job is to make sure stuff gets done properly, HELP OTHERS, is done to the best it can be (with in limits of time) and on time. Though things come up that change or interfere with these duties. But I do what I can to help out and make sure stuff is going to get done. Anyways, it is hard to get people together at the same time, especially when it is out of the way for most, and trying to work around work scheduals, and still get the things you need, and sometimes even trying to help seems to be the wrong thing. This one page, (apparently) the background is at night, and to get everyone there and have them comply, is next to insane. Though (the four editors) figured to help them out, we would take a pic for them, the only problem is that this shot was during the day. Now I was told by someone that this would not look good, as it is a contrast of day and night. Last year this page had a night time backgound and all day time shots, and this page turned out to be very successful as in terms as quality. But even though we're trying to help as these 3 people could not garentee to be in the background shot, but still wanted to be on the page, we would just go out and take their picture. Now the best part is, the person that gave the "opionion," it's not even that persons page, and that person is not an editor, so really it is up to the people that are doing the page to use it or not, just the thought that we wanted to try and help.
So, I try and help; and to someone else, it sounds as if I was about to destory the whole book. This is just an example, as there is many more (explaining why this is only part I) are to come in the future (hopefully). Whether true or not, believe what will, and take what you want or nothing at all. But to add a theory, "Whether right or wrong, live it out, but expect nothing return, as to one is not the same to others." So in that, consider the outcomes, and if you are wrong in the end, and your actions were good, then don't feel so bad about it. (unless you go kill someone or break a law or something... Just no!) And if you are right, well then awsome, but don't expect to win everytime. And to see the outcome of this story, really I don't know what to expect, time will only tell, and whether this picture is used or not, its not up to me to decide.
As for posts, I expect to post every day, if not every few days, at the very least once a week unless other wise posted. It is not up to me whether you like this or not, its just a theory and ideas. Comment or e-mail me at johnysimps@hotmail.com for any questions, concerns, or even ideas that happen with your life. I once again state, I have no intentions to harm one or another, emotionally or mentally, which is why no names will be posted or given out, unless permision is granted first.
