Delano Tackles Education

So I just watched this movie called "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas".It was soooo good.It was really sad too.So it's about a little German boy who's dad is the man in charge of a Nazi concentration camp.The boy ends up befriending a little Jewish boy inside the neighboring concentration camp.So yeah.One part of that movie reminds me of my childhood.The little boy and his sister end up getting a tutor to come to their house.So the tutor's thoughts and views end up influencing the way the children think and carry themselves.After spending just a few weeks with the apparent Jew hater,the little sister puts Hitler posters up in her room and begins to act somewhat brutish.The tutor told the little boy that his adventure books were a waste of time.The tutor makes him read almanac's and history books in place of his adventure books.I think it's safe to say that we've all been in that situation at one point in our lives.Where your teachers or your parents tell you that it's time to grow up.I used to love books.A lot.And now i can't stand to pick up a book on free will.No matter how hard i try.It hurts,because back in the good ol' days I stayed up until sometimes two in the morning reading.Once in fifth grade,we had to read a book and write a book report over it.We couldn't do Harry Potter,so i had to choose something else.While everyone else was grabbing their "Because of Winn-Dixie"'s and "Treasure Island"'s,I grabbed "My Friend the Vampire".Large font and a few pictures would best describe this book.I got roasted so bad because of that.My teacher clowned me,the kids clowned me.Hell,even the autistic kid that always got roasted made fun of me.I quickly put that book back and got "Holes".After that day,i had no interest in reading anymore.I still read Harry Potter until the very end,but you know what i mean.It just made me wonder.Who decides that a fifth grader has to read a chapter book?Who decides that an eleventh grade boy can't read a picture book?Who says that you have to read_______(insert book title)here to learn about life and all it's cycles.Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" can teach the same thing and it only has 225 words.And an added bonus,pictures.Why is it that whenever i go to the public library downtown,i go to the children's section and i look out of place.The definition of book from dictionary.com.Book:Something regarded as a source of knowledge or understanding.I feel that whatever a child,teenager,or adult calls a book is their own business.If i find "Goodnight Moon" a source of knowledge,then you should be cool with that.If "The Giving Tree" teaches me about making the right choices regarding the earth and other stuff,rather than "Stop Global Warming:The Solution Is You!",why should you care?I'm learning,right?So back to the movie.The tutor also tells the boy that all Jews are bad and other nonsense.Personally i don't get the whole teacher qualification mess.I know a lot of people who aren't teachers,but teach me everyday.They didn't get certification.They didn't graduate with a degree in education(i think a person just has to have a degree in order to be a teacher.they don't have to major in education.Hhmmmm.Because just having a degree makes you certified.Riiiiitttteeeee....).Yet they teach me the most valuble lessons.I have a few teachers right now that i could actually say should be teachers.Some are just warm bodies babysitting warm bodies.I always hear about people who graduate at the top of their class,but 10 years later,they work at Dairy Queen.In school,I think they're teaching us the wrong things.Well not necessarily.They're not teaching us enough of the right things.My algebra teacher finds ways to interpret real world stuff in the lessons he teaches.He explains why it's important to know the interest rate of something or something like that.Yet,my physics teacher tells me i need to know how to find elastic velocity,or whatever the hell it's called,so i can pass the TAKS test and graduate.If i just need to learn something just so i can graduate,i don't think i will be satisfied with my diploma.Dictionary.com says,Graduation:the state of being graduated.In that statement,graduated means to be improved.If i just learn stuff to graduate,I'm not being improved.I'm being lied to.They give you this false sense of accomplishment,just so the world can eat you alive.I just kinda changed my stance in the debate with myself.If you teach me something that i can apply to my life later on,then school isn't a waste.Anyway.My fingers are dead.I could go on and on about this subject.But that's how i feel.If you don't like it,suck it.

Heyy.I'm sitting in my school's auditorium,bored.My band director told me to meet at the school at SIX.It's fucking 6:02 and nobody's here.I shoulda came at like 6:30 like I originally planned.But what can you do?Right?So yeah...It's funny how little things you say to people show up later in the day in other situations and stuff.How things you say won't come true do.Yesterday for example,I was talking to a friend of mine and she was asking me if I was gonna blog about the rain.I told her no because I didn't see the relevance of that topic.But in a few hours,the rain would end up having mucho relevance.So it rained yesterday.I walk home,unless I feel like getting a ride from someone.So it was raining and that day I didn't have a ride.I called my stepdad about 4 times in 5 minute increments.Never answered.I then call my mom and she was at work.She wouldn't be able to reach me for at least another hour and a half at the least.So like everyone else had left and gone home for the day.Shit.After staying at the school about half an hour after school got out,I walked home.It was pouring down raining and it felt like it was 50 degrees.Good thing it only takes me like 10 minutes to get home.So I go home,chuck's all soaked with water.So I chill,watch First Sunday(funny ass movie),and eat pizza.My dad gets home,doesn't say shit about me walking home.But he can ask my sister(his biological daughter)about her half a street length dstance from the bus stop.My mom gets home and does something similar.Now I know my sister is a girl and all,but I mean I feel that I should get treated with the same love(no homo)as she does.On several occasions,my parents show my sister more interest in my little sister.Hey that came up in conversation earlier that day too lol.Shout out to Kelly Rodgers.But yeah that's just how I feel.And that's in a lot of things.I finally accepted that i'm not important.I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me either.That's the harsh reality that i've stumbled upon.A lot of times I find myself fading into the background .It's not on purpose.Trust me.I'm cool with it at school and other places.But at home?That's pretty messed up.When i'm in Hawaii,there will be nobody to ignore me.At least that's what I hope.

It's Safe To Say That I'm Back

Excerpt from "Just To Catch Yall Up"

Delano wants to be happy.He wants someone to step in and tell him everything is gonna be okay.That he will make it.That he won't be a regular ass nigga,with a regular ass job,with some regular ass friends who drink at the same regular ass bar every regular ass friday night.And after that he goes to his regular ass house with some fucked up rose bushes.After unlocking his regular ass door with uneven stain on it,he says in a regular ass voice"Hey kids with regular ass,lame ass,slave ass names!How was your day at yall's regular ass school?"And the chubby kid(every regular ass family has a chubby kid who resembles the dad's best friend rather the "actual dad")says"It was the same as regular ass yesterday."And the regular ass Delano says that's good and climbs his regular ass stairs and goes into his regular ass bedroom to find his regular ass,overweight wife.He gives her a regular ass kiss and has some regular ass sex and falls into a regular ass drunken sleep.His regular ass snores wake him up in the middle of the night.Goes back to sleep and within hours he greets another regular ass day.I don't want that.Delano isn't a regular ass name,should he be cursed with a regular ass life?

Just To Catch Yall Up

Aight.This post might sound a little like a pity partyish and preachy,but it must be done in order for me to return to my prior blogging status.So bear with me.

Where do i start?Well ever since the end of our winter break,things have really taken a turn for the worse.It's been the same stuff from before plus new drama added on top.It's getting fucking frustrating.First i come back to school to put my little gay accusations in my right pocket.Then i put my parents kind words of not making it to college in the left one.All the letters in the mail and emails don't mean shit to them.I've even gotten a personal post card from K-State's(which is at the top of my list)people.And they send me emails everyday.My parents think you have to have a sky high GPA and be a fucking Einstein just to get into a minor major university.I know plenty of people who got into good schools and they were retards.And that's the nicest way to say it.Then I've picked up addictions here and there.I'll leave it at that.They make me feel better for a good 2 hours or so,but then I'm back to normal Delano.Bummer.There's more stuff,but I'll leave it at that.So yeah.These days I feel like an empty shell of what i used to be.No matter how much i wanna be Delano i can't seem to find him.Sometimes i wonder if Delano is gone with the people that he isolates himself from.Joshua McAfee(Delano's best friend)came back a few weeks ago.Delano was perfectly fine.I dare say....Delano Taylor was back to normal.When Delano is one on one with others,he's somewhat normal.He's somewhat happy.When Delano is with a crowd of people he's about 67% normal.Where's that other 1/3 of Delano Taylor?Sometimes I think that part is gone forever.It hurts to say that,but i wanna be honest with yall.Sometimes i blame my unhappiness on Texas.That's not fair,is it?Chea it is!I honestly think something is in the water in The Lone Star State.If you drink it after the age of 23,you're brainwashed and you stay here until you die.All the people i see that like the state of Texas are dirty as hell.I'm not no dirty nigga.Free thinkers,free spirits find a way out and they're happy.In the midst of this junior year(which seems like it'll never end),so many of my friends have moved.Close friends and not so close friends have left Texas and seem happier.I think I'm onto something.During the summers when i go and visit my dad in Florida,I came back to Texas with a tan line where my smile used to be.My Texas smile hasn't been ANYWHERE close to my Florida smile in close to about 10 months.This theory of Texas being the reason of my reason of depression has me wanting to move to Hawaii.I'm being serious.Me and my friend talked about it one night and apart from their jumping spiders,I found my future home.Lanai,Hawaii.The website says i could be enjoying clear 79 degree weather right now.It seems like my life would be a vacation and i love vacations.And my music is gonna take me there.Oh yeah i made a music page.I put like two mixes on there,which only took like 15 minutes so that the page wouldn't look bare.I got better shit in the works.So yeah I'll make it to Hawaii if it kills me.If you ask nicely I'll let you come stay the weekend.=).We can ride in my boat and listen to Shwayze.Maybe my sadness is the lack of a girl friend.I'm not looking for one though.I just want to have the feeling of being kept.I like knowing that no matter what,someone else can step in and make things better.I see lots of people just take that shit for granted too.It hurts me to see love go wasted.Not trying to sound like a love sick fool(because nobody likes them),but yeah.I'm missing Gossip Girl.Lemme wrap this up.Delano wants to be happy.He wants someone to step in and tell him everything is gonna be okay.That he will make it.That he won't be a regular ass nigga,with a regular ass job,with some regular ass friends who drink at the same regular ass bar every regular ass friday night.And after that he goes to his regular ass house with some fucked up rose bushes.After unlocking his regular ass door with uneven stain on it,he says in a regular ass voice"Hey kids with regular ass,lame ass,slave ass names!How was your day at yall's regular ass school?"And the chubby kid(every regular ass family has a chubby kid who resembles the dad's best friend rather the "actual dad")says"It was the same as regular ass yesterday."And the regular ass Delano says that's good and climbs his regular ass stairs and goes into his regular ass bedroom to find his regular ass,overweight wife.He gives her a regular ass kiss and has some regular ass sex and falls into a regular ass drunken sleep.His regular ass snores wake him up in the middle of the night.Goes back to sleep and within hours he greets another regular ass day.I don't want that.Delano isn't a regular ass name,should he be cursed with a regular ass life?

What's Good?

So yeah i've been chilling lately.It's spring break.This one reminds me so much of the past summer tho,which is not a good thing at all.The past summer was like the worst one eveeeeerrrr!But anyway,i spent the whole spring break with a girl who probably hates me.So yeah that's always fun.I wish i was SXSW.But i'm not.Ugh.Well i think i'll be getting back to important stuff.Peace.
