The O Factor-no-I'm not talking about Oprah

Obama has a lot of appeal-that's why he's president-he's African-American-he's from Chicago-...uh, he's black,..

but this nation seems to be obsessed with him.

Frankly, that's a bit refreshing after the 200 years or so of white guys, but still..

Why is America suffering from Obama-mania? Is it solely because he's black? Or is it because he's black and charismatic?

I can't answer that. Ask a psycho-analyst. He'd be able to tell you. But since you likely don't have access to a sociologist, I, an un-informed fifteen year old, will give you my best guess:

Obama has come to us at a tumultous time-it's a decade into the new millenium, where technology has drastically changed our lifestyle, habits, and society. Think "Iron Age" for the modern world.

All this technology, and the change that comes with it, is confusing. Not to mention the lingering effects of the counter culture movement during the 60's which have opened the floodgates for stuff like porn, pornos, and other sex related stuff which many feel is undermining the values Americans share.

Enter Obama-a shining symbol of what can be accomplished when you're determined-and skilled at giving speeches.

And he's BLACK. It's like expecting to find a gold coin and finding a treasure chest.

Obama is the embodiment of the notion that America has finally gotten past its racist past and opened its mind to a newcomer, a rookie, an underdog-an underdog whose father is from Kenya.

And he seems to be implementing good policies-just think-a president who actually comes through for his people. That's HUGE.

Now, don't think I idolize this man, cuz I don't. Um, will you excuse me for a second as I sing a song of praise for Obama?

...

Thanks.

Anyway-don't think I idolize him. I don't believe in idols..that's againist my religion.

...

Does anyone know what religion Obama is? I HAVE TO KNOW. Don't ask. I just HAVE to, ok?

Hang on, let me Google it...

Ah ok. Interesting.

Where was I?

Oh yeah. Nation..Obama..obsessed. Ok good.

Now...

Obviously, the media loves to see people who regular people admire, fail. I'm not saying Obama has failed us-he has his shortcomings, and the media likes to reap that for what its worth. >Sigh< The media just hates Obama cuz he's black!!

Did I just play the race card?
Oh God, I did.
>Breaks into sobs< I..don't..DESERVE the Nobel Blog Prize!! >Crying hysterically<

Living With Depression

I'm a teen living with depression.

I'm a mentally insane teen living with depression.

Right now, my depression has subsided. But I can tell it's just waiting in the shadows-waiting to consume me again.

Because some symptoms still linger: irritibility, physical fatigue, and other things I can't remember just now. But I have the bad habit in bottling up my emotions so nobody knows when I'm annoyed.

Oh, and why am I under the impression I'm insane? Well, I suffer from hallunications. Not like when somebody's high or overheated, but when somebody's mental. See, bugs and other insect like creatures are my worst fear and I think I see them constantly. And when they're actually real, I'm relieved it's not my mind playing tricks and freaked out because it's an actual bug. Eew.
And perhaps even more taunting, I see old friends in the faces of total strangers. Friends whom I feel nostalgic about and whom I desperately miss and want to see.

I'm insane in other ways, but I'll save those for another time.

Back to the depression thing-I've found out my trigger is school. Yup, that's right-and I have to go every day. Ugh. But since summer vacation started, my depression experienced a dramatic decline and it's been that way even now that classes have resumed. So that's awesome. =)

For those of you out there who also suffer from this draining condition, I suggest talking to people who have always been there for you, who could never judge you. And more importantly, do some serious self-analyzing. Try figuring out why you're depressed. Take note of what times you feel most low. And if you can, take a break from it. If not-well-I'm not a psychriast (I didn't spell this right, did I?) or anything-just a teen who's under the impression she's wiser than most of the people she knows.

So, hope y'all had a nice summer and see ya whenever.

Hey...

Sorry I haven't been on here since forever, but I don't want the folks to know I have a BLOG!! and all my free time on the computers at school is devoted to reading manga on onemanga.com. (Go Full Metal Alchemist!! The coup in gaining momentum!!!) Although, realistically, those few (what like- 3 maybe?) of you out there on the blogosphere reading this have probably given up on me a loong time ago. Fret not, I'm back. (Until the government deports me..KIDDING!! haha uh..LAME!!)

So, as usual, we're here for my purposes right? Those of you out there who like playing online for free-check out this link por favor (if it makes you Anti-Hispanics out there more comfortable, I'll say "Please." [Although I guess if you were Anti-Hispanic, you would've discarded my blog as more internet trash right? Speaking of which, isn't there like a new Hispanic woman holding a judicial office in the Obama Administration? More on that later..] For my Mandarin Chinese peeps out there, qing check out this link!):

Mucho thanks! (Xiexie!)

Sorry for me to ask you guys a favor after an eternity not blogging and then just leave without saying anything else-but there are only so many hours in the day you know? (Yes I know-I'm a hypocrite..love me anyway..please..PLEASE!! Qing?? Just kidding..not that wacko. haha. Or I am? No-you know what? I'll just stop.)

Much love!!
-'Sup Woman..Away!!!

P.S. I'm eating taquitos

and they're freakin delicious.

MEEEEESSE!!!!!!!

AS OF NOW, MEESE IS A WORD!!-SO I DECLARE!!!

Fast Takes

So since you're still getting to know me, and this blog does give consideration only to my opinion, let me give you my fast takes on hot button issues.

• Gay rights: Don't have one! I'm Catholic, and Catholics believe you're not supposed to let gays marry but really, I see no problem with it. In fact, America is a free country-you can't discriminate againist that sort of thing (or at least you're not supposed to). I would say 'Let them marry' but I think God would be Ticked Off at me.



• Immigration: I know I'll be misleading you if I don't make it clear right now that my take on this is biased-I am Mexi-si-can. Now before any of you racist jerks go to another page, lemme tell ya something you don't want to hear-I was born here, in America. My aunt was born here in America. The majority of my nephews and nieces were born in America. My relatives who weren't born here came here legally. (Even my uncle who got deported because he was caught drinking and driving in Kansas-kids, don't drink and drive. Hmm, that fact doesn't help my argument does it?) And the illegals who are here aren't just stealing jobs from you, they're stealing jobs from my dad, my relatives, me. So I'm kind of on your side-stop the flow you know? Here's where my bias comes in-I don't think building a wall is ok. An electric fence maybe..but a WALL? Come on people, this ain't China. And why does the government have to make getting legalized so difficult anyway? Seriously-you have to pay a fee? Poli Dudes, the majority of people coming here legally are dirt poor-do you really think they'll be able to pay you 80 dollars if it takes 10 pesos to equal a dollar? Just think about that Poli Dudes. I'm not saying let anybody come in you know? Check their criminal records-after all, you check everything else without valid reason. If they're straight, just make 'em take the Constitution test, give 'em a few English classes and let them do the paperwork. Sounds fair to me. How bout you?
• Jonas Brothers: The "Joe Bros" as they're called. I HATE THEM SO MUCH!!!
• Miley Cyrus: Like the show, don't like her, HATE HER "MUSIC"!!!!!!

Til next time when I express my thoughts on the more memorable, deserving, talented artists in the music world.

Welcome to..STALE CRUMBS!!!! :D

Bienvenidos a...STALE CRUMBS!!!

Like countless hundreds of other people with internet access, I've decided my life is significant enough to document meticulously in a blog. I don't know why, my posts will be of no use to the rest of the world; no emotional resonance, no intelluctual stimulation, just a creepy little girl blogging in a creepy little world.

So lemme tell you about myself without telling you about myself: I'm almost 15, so feel free to sue me for inaccurate slandering of geo-political issues; I cannot be accounted for the blatant content for remaining ignorant. I'm a geek; clarification; I love science. It's a passion-especially astrophysics. I love art-that's a passion, especially cartoons and manga. My least favorite subjects in school are Math and English (ironic that I hate math right?). It's just that I've always thought grammar was totally useless-I mean, no one uses grammar correctly anyway.

So why Stale Crumbs? Well life is like a bag of stale crumbs-if you mush them together, you make croutons that you can put on your life's salad....except I don't like croutons so I guess my life salad is pretty dull. Siiiiiiiggghh.
Once I get happier (without the use of illegal substances [and yes, I do consider myself to suffer from dysthymia) I might change the name of this blog to ..Grilled Marinated Chunks of Pork..who knows?
Why am I unhappy? I dunno, I mean I have no real reason to be depressed-I just am.

Well that's all for now folks! See you..
when I have the time..
(I'm being watched....
and so are you...)
