The Tree

Next to our school, city workers planted a tree yesterday! Isn't that lovely! I just HAVE to tell you about the most wittiest location they put the tree in!
It is right in front of the the west entrance of our school. Everyday, 350 students come out of that door, onto the narrow sidewalk, and get dismissed. Did I mention is is narrow?It is so narrow that only about 3 people MAX can stand on that sidewalk at once! Well, now its NARROWER! Half the sidewalk is taken up by the small tree, so when 350 students come out of that door, someone is sure to run right into that tree, break their neck, and end up in the hospital! Beautiful! Simply stupendous!
Brother Brian noticed it was a female tree. You know what female trees do? They produce seeds. And you know what it SMELLS like when they are producing? HORRIBLE!! It smells like COW DUNG! So not only will someone break their neck and end up in the hospital, someone will barf right under that tree, have nose poisoning, and still end up in the hospital! So-- very witty!
On that same sidewalk, we have a tree we call the Gum Tree. Oh, what beautiful artwork there is, made of gum! Smiley faces, our school initials, and polka dots of all different colors imaginable. Some worn out, some new, some gone black! And now, they put a tree right in front of the entrance. It seems like they wish for ANOTHER Gum Tree! Gum Tree the 2nd! So not only will someone break their neck and go to the hospital, have nose poisoning and go to the hospital, someone will go BLIND and go to the hospital once more!Did I mention that the sidewalk where they put the trees in have very limited sunlight? Our school is actually blocking all the sunlight from getting trough to the trees. Great! Now not only does the sidewalk stink, but know if the tress DIE, then we would've endured the stink for nothing!Well isn't that nice?
Yes, that is definitely the most acute thing the city has done!

Rebecca Black's Friday Review

Well Rebecca Black has officially become a Youtube sensation with over 40 million views on her video. Some of you may have noticed that when I get my happy I make faces or put an exclamation point after it. Well I am not happy, because this is terrible news! The song is bad, the production is bad, and the girl has no talent. I'm sorry she just has no talent at all. First of all if this song is not a parody, then...Parodys in my opinion are the only songs allowed to have bad lyrics and autotune(no offence to 2NE1. I <3 them!). The song is like Friday, Friday, gettin down on Friday. It's almost like Justin Bieber's Baby,baby, baby noooooooo!Forget it, she's not even worth comparing. JB is on a whole different level compared to her! Talking about the days of the week in a song is kind if cheesy. They audience screaming "yeah!" is just....That's like the kiss of death for any music video. The production was also really bad. I think that I could do better.. and I'm in middle school! First of all, it's so obvious that she is standing in front of a greenscreen. When she wakes up she sings "gotta have cereal". Everyone around her is rushing and she's just standing there with her bookbag on singing. Then "gotta go down to the bus stop, gotta catch my bus. I see my friends.What seat can I choose?". She could just go! But no, she has to be a diva and just stand there and wait. Then this 50 year old guy comes out rapping out of nowhere!The rap doesn't even make sense. Rappers usually say their name before they start rapping, but this guy is like, R.B. Rebecca Black...say your name not the girl's! Then "chiilin in the front seat, in the back seat" well your driving so obviously you have to be in the front seat. She seems very uncomfortable during the whole thing. Her voice is nasally and she sings with no emotion. Voice is totally flat and if using autotune can't make your voice sound better than...that is the definition of notalent. The only thing she has is looks and money. I heard that her mom paid the guys at Ark Music $2,000,000 to make the music video.

St.Patricks Day

Hello! After all the sad news why don't we finish the day up with a happy post? Today was St. Patricks day. The St. Patricks Day parade on 5th AVE. was so up-beat and lively. The place was draped in orange,green and white. People showed their support by wearing green painting their faces green, dying their hair green, getting a lot of green things and waving the Irish flag. A lot of people stated singing. BTW if some of the viewers did go you probably know about the kid drummer. He was so cute^_^ As some of you may know, Mayor Bloomberg made a stereotypical statement about the Irish and drinking. Yes, he was booed by some people, but he did apoligise. So all in all it was a good day. Except the fact that I didn't finish my homework. I'll go do that right now.

8.9 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Japan

As you may know an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 hit near the east coast of Honshu, Japan this morning. After the earthquake,tsunamis with waves up to 24 ft. tall have struck several parts of Japan. Up to 300 bodies were found in the city of Sendai in northeastern Japan, an area believed to have been hit hardest by the massive waves. The waves have washed away, farms, cars houses, and even a hotel. Boats at port were seen battered and on their sides. The waves also washed a large amount of debris inland and fires have been reported throughout the area. This earthquake has been the 5th largest earthquake since the start of the 20th century. It has been Japan's largest earthquake in over 140 years. The shockwaves after the earthquake are still happenning. Warnings were issued for more than 50 countries and territories including Russia, Indonesia, Central American countries like Guatemala, El Salvador and Coasta Rica, along with the United States and Canadian coastlines. States that currently have tsunami warnings are Hawaii, Alaska, and California. The earthquake lasted for more than 5 minutes. We will keep Japan in our prayers and try to help in anyway we can.

Free Vending Machine

After all these posts about what we DON'T like, I think it is time for us to discuss what we DO like! One of these things is a free vending machine.
Have you ever encountered a free vending machine? I haven't. If anything, I encountered a stupid, money-sucking, vaccum that steals your money and doesn't give you any treats! However this year, I finally found one!
Actually, it is not really a machine. It is a person. If you get on this person's good side, you juusst might be able to get some candy out of this person. Or...you can force this person to give it to you. This person usually brings candy everyday, but sometimes, she doesn't. I guess that is no different than when the machines are out of treats or are out of order.
The candy is actually pretty good, like Jolly Ranchers or one of those REALLY good peppermints or like Ice Breakers or something. Sometimes, this person gets selfish and eats all of the green Jolly Ranchers or the green Air Heads with out sharing it but eating it in our face. That is no different when the machine sucks up your money and the candy rolls out and you fail to grab it and it rolls onto the floor. Actually, this person failed to give us candy for the entire week! (I shall have to teach this person a lesson.)
So...can you guess who this person is? (Cough-Cough-kaykay-Cough.)

Adult Books

Have you ever read any adult books?
I have.
Have you ever read any adult books, and then you come apon a part where you raise your eyebrows?
I have...lottsa times.
Have you ever told yourself "Stop reading adult books before you are an adult!" but still ended up reading more adult books?
Count me in!
Scientific study shows that more and more children are starting to read adult books and are corrupting their minds. Sometimes, adult books are more substantial and are simply better books than the usual action-packed children's books. However, some children read them to find out about the...censored things that cannot be found in children's books (Yes, I'm talking to you Laura!). Some people read it to gain more knowledge about everything.
So...should children under 12 read books meant for ages 15 and up?
(By the way, the author Ayn Rand is great!!! You should really read her books! Wait...you are only 11? Forget it, dude.)

Animal Cruelty



Another thing we 3 friends here at the rant hate is animal cruelty. We CAN'T STAND animal cruelty. What I personally hate is when people don't take it seriously. Animal cruelty is no joke! That's why we should all do something about it. We 3 friends here at The Rant are probably the nicest people in the world; animal cruelty really getes us mad. Not only that, but some of those people also post it on Youtube! We don't need to see your animals get treated badly! There is already enough pain in the world! I'm personally into the eye for an eye thing..that is why I say to the old lady who threw the cat into a trash can, we will throw you into a trash can! Look at your trash can. Is there trash in it? Yes! Is there a cat in it? No! There shouldn't be a cat in the trash can! It doesn't belong there! To the guys who threw the dog off of a bridge as a JOKE! We will throw you off a bridge! Unless it is a suicidal dog, who wants to throw itself off a bridge, you have no right to throw it off a bridge. (By the way, I saw a suicidal pidgeon who got caught in a hook in our school's window in the rain...and died.) Finally, to the girl who took a bucket full of 6 puppies and threw them out into a river one by one, relishing the ENJOYMENT of MURDER! You know what's coming! We will throw you into the river! Or better, take you into the middle of the ocean and ditch you! So to all of you animal abusers, stop abusing animals or else! We will find you and do to you what you have done to the poor animal. We have wrote this post to express our feelings on animal cruelty and to help a friend at school. She is an animal activist and doing a project on animal cruelty. Please support her in any way you can! Give out fliers, or donate to animal shelters and associations contributing for the prevention of animal cruelty such as the ASPCA. Or you can just wear an orange ribbon. Why? In the United States, the orange ribbon has been officially registered with the U.S Patent and Trademark Office as the Animal Guardian Ribbon, a symbol used to raise public awareness of at-risk animals. The Animal Guardian Ribbon was created in 2003 by Rational Animal, a nonprofit media animal advacocy group in conjuction with the Mayor's Alliance for New York City's Animals. At-risk animals are defined as those "non-human animals who suffer from neglect or abuse or whose very lives and well-being are in jeopardy.

Chewing Gum

One of the things we 3 friends here at The Rant hate is chewing gum. It's not really chewing gum we hate. Chewing gum is good. You can chew it, swallow it, play with it, we're okay with all of these. However, one thing we ARE NOT okay with is when people take the gum out of their mouths and stick it under the table with your saliva with a PH of 7-8 still on it. Finding it stuck to the table you are sitting at is disgusting, but to see someone actually do it is revolting! That is why we 3 friends here at The Rant ask you to keep your hands, feet, and chewing gum to yourselves.
