9:34 pm	That's How We Do It!!! I want to learn chinese! people think i'm joking when i tell them, but i don't care. the way i look at it, its good they think i'm joking. economic reports today say that the USA has the highest economy at about 4.3 trillion, next is japan with 1.5 trillion or something like that. but... it also states that china is rapidly producing and has some of the fastest economic growth today. people say in 10-15 years the chinese economy is gonna be almost as big as the usa economy. and they are trying to trade in the world market... or otherwise known as the american market. but, how many american born people can speak fluent mandarin chinese??? not much. its all chinese people learning english. and american companies are looking for a translator who they will know is telling them the truth, an american that they can trust more than some chinese translator. thats why people straight out of college studying chinese can make 6 figures today. 6 figures for a starting business major/chinese minor. today in schools what languages are you taught? spanish, french, and german right? from an economic standpoint why the hell would you learn these languages? why learn spanish, communicate with other people who are trying to learn english? who gives a rats ass about the french? and in germany they all speak english. thats why i think that this is a good area for me to learn... because demand for american chinese translators is high. and because hardly anybody is teaching chinese, llcc isn't.

11:30 pm	"i drank what?" --Socrates my grandpa is sick with the flu. mom is really worried about it, 89 year old geezer. i just realized no one in my family has died since i was 6 years old. must be because i have such a small family. sometimes i really wish it was larger because there are some major advantages to it. thanksgiving should be alot of fun... mom is planning to get everyone together in our new house. and actually thats a bit of an achievement. we havent all been together for about 10 years. you ever get that feeling that your just that guy who's semi-entertaining, but really serves no purpose? whats anybodys purpose? i feel like im just that other guy people come to when they dont have anything better to do. kinda like a last resort. ever get the feeling that if you let someone know who you truly are it will hurt you someday? what if the hokey pokey really is what its all about. ...gregor Current Mood: happysad (Comment on this)

3:10 am	bad dreams its 3:02 am right now, and i just had a bad dream. the dream started off with me zack jill and sarah going to play tennis at the park. everything started out fine, we were having a blast,laughing etc... then all of a sudden the sky goes black and i look down and my stomach is bleeding ALOT. i fall to the ground and zack and jill are right beside me screaming "MEDIC!" over and over. i remember looking up at the black sky and then i see sarah looking down at me. all of a sudden she breaks into one of the biggest smiles and smugly says "lost another one to ditech" then walks away. after that i hear zack and jill screaming medic again then wake up in a sweat. i've been sleeping pretty badly lately and i dont know why, never had a dream like this before though. usually just those annoying falling dreams. but anyway, i dont think sarah would react that way. hey, thats why its a just a dream right?

9:40 pm	<------- is bored i dont write very much in livejournal. i mostly just read what everyone else writes. today was pretty boring, after school sarah and i went to a baseball game, and write now im looking up phone numbers for where i can get flowers for prom, well that and typing this. proms this weekend, and no matter how hard i try, i just cant get excited about it. after prom will kick ass, but prom itself will probably suck. i think im gonna try to get my a+ certification so i can have a job this summer that actually pays something. im getting mad too, we cant catch a break looking for houses. we just found a really nice house, but today dad found out that his job is still too unstable to pay for a house. so here i am, stuck in the friggen duplex. im getting angry cause this place is really getting on my nerves. were trying to find a house that looks like our last one in sterling, heres some pictures if you wanna see it at http://www.shafferfamily.us/ well... cya later greg (Comment on this)

4:34 pm	It is a Sad Sad day. first off, my car broke down today. i was just driving along when all of a sudden i only saw a large amount of whitish smoke comming out of the exhaust. i had to pull into a cops house because it was closest. turned it off and checked under the hood, didnt see anything (but then again, i dont know much about engines)--- anyway i started it back up and tons of smoke started to come out from under the hood. i forgot my cell phone. so i rang the cops doorbell and let his very large dog bark at me through the window. the cop didnt answer, but just then holly pulled into the driveway and gave me a ride to school. but in my rush to get out of their in a hurry, i forgot my backpack. -i'll be the first to admit it, i was mocked at school for it. stupid wednesday. me and my dad took it to a shop after school, and it might not be that serious. might just be a gasket, or maybe just some spilt oil that was burning off. who knows? but also, a new report came out today that said "America in 2050: Whites will be down to half the population /// By 2050 minority groups will make up 49.9 percent of the U.S. population, it will be reported Thursday. Asians and Hispanics will see the most dramatic increases between now and midcentury" we, as the future rulers of this great country must stop this at once. we cannot allow minorities to damage this country the way that they have damaged all of their own. haha peace out (lol peace, ya right) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:42 pm	Track Sucks Ever since track began, life has gone on a downward spiral. life has got more and more boring. ever since people have joined track they havent been able to do the important things in life, like play halo on a daily basis. i just dont see the appeal of track, i mean its just a bunch of people running around without anyone chasing them. people back in the middle ages had it right, they thought that if you increased your heartrate you got less healthy, Thats what i believe. me and willy (louie) were driving around today, and we would have been able to do something if everyone wasnt in track. however, since everyone IS in track we had to accept defeat and go home. theres no way around it. TRACK SUCKS! (1 Comment |Comment on this)
