I have no blog title ideas.

Yeah, I haven't made a blog in like a month. I've decided to end my boycotting. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just skip this part. Too late.

Ok, I'm pretty fucked up, I realised.

Why you ask? Let's see:

I get depressed for no reason at all. I could be happy as hell, laughing with my friends, but then some reality strikes me and I realise there's nothing to be laughing about. These bouts of depression can last for as little as a hour, to almost a week straight.

I have serious anger issues. Things that would never even phase me in the past seem to send me into violent outbursts and (sometimes) even self-destructive behavior. The other day, my mom really pissed me off with something REALLY stupid, and I went into my room, slammed my head into a wall, which left a huge bruise on my head. I then went outside, punched her truck as hard as I could, which about broke my knuckles. I didn't stop there. I walked way out back (I live on a farm land that's about 7 acres), started throwing anything I could get my hands on, rocks, logs, what have you, the grabbed a large branch and started slamming it into the ground as hard as I could. I don't know, I think the echo the sound caused made me feel better or something, but I kept doing that until my hands were raw and burning. It took about 3 more hours for me to fully calm down. I spent most of that time walking around my yard, cussing and spitting all the while.

I'm basically a social outcast. I speak too fast, so no one can understand me, and of course I am ridiculed for it. I've never had a girlfriend, so people think I'm gay. Awesome. On top of that, I must have missed the part where doing drugs made you cool. That's what over half the kids in my school do, and because I refuse to participate in their suicidal escapades, I'm considered "less than."

I'm not trying to be self-centered, but I AM actually very intelligent. Ever since the second grade, my teachers have noticed that I learn material much faster than others.

These days… not so much. In fact, I am in a 'slow' math class, I failed a year of Spanish, and the past few years my grades have been horrible. I can feel my mind rotting, and I can't do anything about it. I have to get away from this community. There's no place for someone like me, it seems.

Right at this moment, I feel somewhat ill. My head is killing me, my tooth hurts, and I'm tired, mentally. I'm going to have to try even harder if I ever hope to get out of this state. Hell, I want out of this country.

The only somewhat good thing that's happened to me recently is I received a letter from Lockheed Martin (an engineering university), and they're offering courses in some cool subjects like programming and robotics. I had to list the top 3 courses I wanted to take, in case some of them were unavailable, and I chose:

1) Programming in Java

2) Programming in Python

3) Robotics

So, with any luck, I'll get a programming course and get some experience that will actually make me somewhat valuable… not here though. The only thing valuable in a person here is being able to consume large amounts of alcohol or getting knocked up.

…Fuck. That's all I can really say.

I'm sorry to put you all through this.

Cheer up man, your a cool guy. You have to realize that no matter what they have you have something better, a working brain, one that realizes when your upset, one that can do cool things, and one that is very bright. In college, the chicks will start to dig guys who might not have got the gals in highschool, but have the brains now. Trust me, it happened to me. You'll get the chicks, the cool job, the cash, and have the brains. Your gonna' have a good life.

Cheers,

YOU ENDED YOUR BOYCOTTING?!?!?!?!?

Well, I don't blame you. The plan didn't work. Even I stopped [:(]

That happens to me too…

I can relate to that too. I'm not in a slow math class, but I've been getting 70%-85% on my algebra assignments (and I took the damn class for the first part of 7th grade before I switched schools) last year I was getting 100%+. I have no clue what happened…

I feel for you.

How old are you Spenser? 15? You are going through 3 changes at once; hormonal, chemical, and mental. This type of behavior is very common in the teen ages. Worry not my freind, for all you have too do is keep your temper on a tight leash for a few more years…

Of course I wouldn't be one to really know, being a 14 years old outcast myself. (My policy of talking: Avoid eye contact and speak quietly.)

One thing striked me while I read your blog. You know what is wrong with you and trust me that is a good thing! Just hang in there until your hormones have settled down. Your instinctual feelings is overpowering your rational brain.

Ok, you don't need to be Chuck Norris. Chuck kicked people in locations other than the balls, but you don't have to fight fair. Go for the nuts, then when they bend over from kicked-in-the-nuts pain, grab the back of their head with both hands, and shove your knee in thier nose. That oughtta do it. On the girl front, wait 'till college. High school girls are dumb and under 18 anyway. By college, the really stupid ones are usually filtered out. If you can, avoid the artsy types. I dated a couple of those and both turned out to be bipolar, and one was a bisexual nymphomaniac with a halucinogen addiction. If I had made that up, I'd pretend to have enjoyed it, but she was crazy, in a bad way. And good luck with the Lockheed, I think they are the ones making the new moon rocket, so that should be cool.
I guess that's an easy way…

Easier and more effective if you hit them in the face, it will ruin their so called 'Movie Star looks'. I fought this one guy that was like that, he's fucking pissed, I ruined his 'face'. Haha, it was awesome breaking his nose and giving him a black eye…:D

Meh, I suppose it could just be a chemical imbalance, but my anger mostly stems from 16 years of bottling up my feelings. I know it is a really bad thing to do, keeping in your anger for so long, which is why I really want to start martial arts. I'd rather unleash my fury on someone legally than become some thug who attacks innocent people.

Meh. I guess I should try to calm down a bit.

Your not the only one who feels like this though. If people call you gay cause you don't have a girlfriend, then let them go to h*ll, cause it doesn't really make you cooler to get a girlfriend at a younger age. It doesn't matter when you get one. =|

Hey, SpenSer!!

Don't you worry bout this ok?

I got depressed all the time last year…

I've now learned sometimes you gotta look at some things in a different perspective, and it will be better, its what I've done and I haven't been depressed in two days, (so hopefully it will last).

About the anger thing, don't worry too much about it. A good way to release your anger is to doodle. If you see my doodles you can actually see how i was feeling at the time…(bored sketches are so weird…)

Well things will get better… so..

Peace out…
