The Selection

"The Selection" Series is AMAZING!! I just finished the second book and I am dying of anticipation. My soul is aching with out knowing the conclusion!! HOLY CRAP I just looked up this book online and Canada made a movie out of it!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHOUT OUT to all my Canadian Viewers!!!!!

I shall tell you of this amazing book!! Thirty-five girls, were chosen to be in the Selection. This is an amazing opportunity for them. They get to be put in the castle with all the other girls and compete for Prince Maxon's love. They live in a society where they are put into ranks.You are born in these ranks and if you wish to move up, you have to marry up. Your rank determines EVERYTHING. Your job, how people look at you, and much more. "Ones" are the highest ranking. They are the King and Queen. The lowest is 8. They are almost homeless. After the selection, all 35 girls become threes. The winner gets crowned Queen and becomes a One. 

For America Singer(Protaginist also a Six), being Selected is a nightmare. It means giving up her secret love with Aspen(Seven), who is  below her. Leaving her home to enter a wild competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

"Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined"

"50 Ways to Say Goodbye" Surprising lyrics

Uh have you read the lyrics to Train's song "50 Ways to Say Goodbye"
they are about him lieing about why they are broken up. It is different ways he lied about her dying. Serious who would believe these?? Really... -_-


"My heart is paralyzed
My head was oversized
I'll take the high road like I should
You said it's meant to be
That it's not you, it's me
You're leaving now for my own good

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntanned
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died

My pride still feels the sting
You were my everything
Some day I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)
She'll think I'm Superman
Not super minivan
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drowned in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died

I wanna live a thousand lives with you
I wanna be the one you're dying to love...
But you don't want to

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntanned
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drowned in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died"

Don't Mess With Texas

It is a great day to be a San Martian! Beautiful and Sunny, in my opinion the best state out there! I always thought Texans were bombastic people. They have a reason to be! If you have ever talked to people in central Texas and learned about what Texas stands for. You would love it too. They go out of their way to be nice. I was sitting in Steak n' Shake(we will talk about there later) and this man with a mental problem was sitting there talking to him self. He ordered and it was known he couldn't pay. We told the waiter we would pay but he said almost every table had asked to pay for that man's meal. On that note, without further delay 

                                  Why Texas is Great



                                              1. We have our own pledge




"Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible."
