At school we're reading a book called A Seperate Peace. Normally, I hate reading. This book is no exception. It's a pretty old book, and for once, it's actually pretty interesting. I've read my share of unrealistic, boring, stupid books in English, (besides A Tale of Two Cities) but this book has something that all the others lacked. Character. Not the book itself, but it's literal characters. So many books now a days have such stupid characters.
Take Twilight for example. Top rated book, best selling movie, but why. The vampires have got to be the stupidest rendering of vampires I've ever seen. They can be out in the sun, and when's the last time you saw Edward drink someones blood. I'm not exactly sure on the last one there, I haven't read the book. But worst of all, you can't relate to the characters because 1. You are NOT, and I repeat, NOT, a vampire. And 2. You are not in a relationship with a vampire. Also, this book was writen by a mormon. Just saying.
In the end, A Separate Peace has these quality characters. Ones that are just like you except for the fact that they're from 1940 something. Character. It's what drives a book. I could care less what happens to them. Just make them a real person, not some bull @%$! vampire.

Not alot to say
I hate blogging. Whats up everyone. It's Joe Schmo here to talk about a bunch of stuff that apparently no one cares about. Today I want to talk about youtube. It's cool. My friends make some hilarious videos. No matter what, you can find some awesome stuff on youtube. That's pretty much all I have to say. I want to know, what's your favorite youtube video.

I'm Tired
What's up everybody. It's Joe Schmo with another pointless blog. Apparently, nobody's reading this except for my teacher, seeing as there were absolutely no comments. So today, I'm not going to talk about technology and my vast amount of problems with it. Instead, I'll talk about some problems that a bunch of people might be facing every day.
First of all, I want to talk about swim taper. It sucks. I'm supposed to rest and not have any Physical Activity, and I'm extremely bored. Instead of feeling faster, I feel sluggish and lazy.
The only possible up sides are that I have more time for homework, I get out of swim earlier, and I get to practice Modern Warfare 2. That's what I want to talk about next, MW2. I am so bored of it. They patch one glitch, it makes another. I can't find a single game that doesn't have care package abusers or a huge party. There's also boosters who are intentionally trying to ruin everyones game.
So, anyone who's out there, (including my teacher, I know you play the game) what's your biggest COD letdown, or sporting events problem. Leave a Comment. Please.
