Teenagers

So I have a teenage sister and to be frank, she isn't the sharpest crayon in the box. I'm actually starting to think that all children her age are that dumb though, just look at her friends comments on her facebook page. Yea and about that facebook page, which I doubt VERY seriously my mother knows about because she is oh so protective; my fool sister is on there leaving her texting number on people's general page!

What's a texting number you ask? Well she does not have a phone yet but she has an iPod and she is able to text on that. So I texted her around 10:30pm and said "Go to sleep!" She replied, "????? Who is this" so I decided to play a game to see if she is as gullible as I think she is. I said "Who is this?????" She surprisingly said "... U txted me lol." Good job little sister. So I kick it up a notch and said "Yea but the person I texted should know who I am so maybe this isn't who I think it is. So who are you?"

Guess what this child said.
Yep, you guessed it.
"Lol I'm amber... Who r u?"

FAIL. How could she be so dumb yall? That's the oldest trick in the book, well at least it is for a person who loves to snoop. I reply "No you're a fool. This is your sister 1) Stop giving your number out on the Internet because it's dangerous. 2) Don't tell people who you are! Especially if they texted you! If they don't know then they shouldn't know." I added a third but that's neither here nor there. She replied "Ahhahahahahahhhahahaha Ur stupid lol!!!" Which leads me to my next observation about teenagers these days.

Everything is a joke. lol, lmao, lbs, lbVs. Shut yo laughing tail up and pay attention to what's going on around you child. I love her to pieces but man, was I that clueless when I was her age?

Yes, Ma'am you were! You had many niave moments and Ashley oops I mean Aerial you were always laughing at something. If no one else was laughing you would laugh harder and louder. :)

Amber will mature at some point because life gives many lessons and she won't be able to run from them.

Anywho I enjoyed reading your blogs.

Tunnel Vision

Last week a fellow journalist died in a car accident. A lot of people at my job knew him as a kid from SIUC who died in that terrible accident the other day but I actually knew that kid, Ryan Rendleman. I went to school with him, I worked with him at the school newspaper and most times I talked about him on the phone with my girlfriend because that Rendleman was truly a trip.  His passing made me realize how quickly our lives can be taken away from us and how I really haven't done much to contribute to society, or to my obituary if I were to die today.  When I hear about someone my age or younger being pregnant, getting married or doing something that I would consider a grown up act, I gawk at how advanced they are, in a negative way, when I should really be getting just like them because life is so short!  I am in my early 20's, just graduated from college, have never lived out of Illinois, have never smoked, don't have any tattoos, interesting piercings or children.  This...

No turning back now

This one friend of mine is in some deep shit. 1. He's in jail. 2. He's in jail because he was speeding on a stolen motorcycle. 3. His mother is a laywer and she is so pissed at him that she won't get him out. 4.5.6.7.8... 9. He is a pretty boy Kappa, which has turned him into a womanizer. But the number one reason why he is in some deep shit is because 10. He gave his main girlfriend the passcodes to his voicemail, email and facebook. Ok let me break down that last sentence. He gave his main girlfriend the passcodes to his voicemail , email and facebook . Isn't that against the player handbook? If you have a main girl that means you have other girls... so why? The passcode to your voicemail... the voicemail that all the girls are leaving messages on because they heard you were in jail. The passcode to your facebook... the place where you do ALL of your dirt. I mean come on, how stupid can one man be? His excuse was that he didn't have anything to hide from her and ...

A side of Baby Mama, hold the drama

Just a few years ago, I would cringe at the term "baby mama," Today, I embrace it. It is what it is and I am who I am.  You have to live your life and roll with the punches. I never thought I'd be a baby mama. I'm more of the wife, fiance, girlfriend type. Or so I thought. Life is just not the fairy tale you dream it to be when you are eight years old in your big cousin's tiara and your mother's high heels. I wish I could go back. I would say "self," my self would say "huh." And then I would lay it on thick... "Little Aerial, these boys only want one thing and one thing only. Your heart! So they can break it." Can I get an Amen? "Protect yourself little Aerial. Protect your cookies. Protect your heart. Or else be the best baby mama you can humanly be, like me." I love my baby. Love her to the death. Do you hear me? I am with her every single day! She needs for nothing. And once she start to talk, she wi...
