So, I had to watch an hour long video in PE today about suicide. Yeah, that's 'Physical Education'. Actually, the video was probably only 30 minutes, but every five minutes the people running the damn thing stopped it to ask us "Okay, what are some early warning signs of suicide?" Even though we just f**king saw it in the video... what a waste of my time...
There seems to be a national phobia that all of our nation's teenagers are suicidal YOLO-ing emo attention hogs. But I can assure you that's not the case (although sometimes you wouldn't know it from looking at my school). I don't know how they'd do it, but they should find a way to take care of so-called 'at risk' people without putting me through an hour of crap. In the immortal words of Will Smith, "I COULDA BEEN AT A BARBECUE!!!"
Today's school truth: #2: When the choice comes between homework and movies, pick movies.
Speaking of suicide and other depressing topics, a national study says that 2 out of 3 gun deaths in America are suicides, and Wyoming is apparently the number one most suicidal state in the union. Which makes sense. Dick Cheney's probably been accidentally shooting people up and then making it look like it was suicide. And so now the new slang for committing suicide is 'Going to Wyoming'.
GOD, DAMN!!! This is a REALLY depressing blog post! I'll make the picture a little happier.
OH MY GOD KITTENS. Soooo cuuuute....
Now: BACK TO DEPRESSING NEWS STORIES! The senate looks like it won't be ratifying Obama's assault weapons ban, which was to be expected. Mainly because most of the senators have taken large campaign contributions from the NRA, and care more about winning the next election than the good of the American people. So yes, it was to be expected.
And to put you even further down in the dumps, seven Marines were killed today during a training exercise in Nevada. That's what they always call it, though... I say that Iron Man was probably involved. But... s**t... I've done four-- COUNT 'EM! FOUR!!!-- stories now about guns, deaths, and Wyoming. Really depressing, I know. So just look back at that kitten picture.
Sorry, people. Maybe tomorrow the news will be more uplifting.
Bye!
