Acknowledging History is Hypocrisy

I found this video online when I was watching a few news videos of Iran's potential nuclear capability. It's a time lapse map of every single nuclear explosion throughout a span of 50+ years. It's one of the most amazing yet terrifying things that I've ever seen in my life. Since the video is nearly 15 minutes long (and possibly mundane), you may not be interested in watching the whole thing, but I would personally recommend watching at least the last two minutes of the video, starting from the 12:00 marker. I'm not trying to make a political statement by posting this, rather just to show how countries around the world are using nuclear weapons without consideration of its effects on people and the environment. 
It's funny how half of the world is throwing sanctions on Iran for their nuclear program but they fail to see who have been the repeat offenders throughout history. Like I said, I'm not blaming anyone in particular for this problem, but it's just something that people seem to disregard these days. For some of us, acknowledging history is hypocrisy.

It's Been A While...

Yes, I'm well aware that it's been a long time since I've posted, but lately the only thing that I've been doing is schoolwork. You see, it's senior year at high school and I've gotta put a lot of effort towards getting into a good college which requires high grades as well as a high rank within the class. In order to do so, I've decided to place myself into more rigorous classes instead of just chilling my last school year (which by the way is not a bad thing to do). Anyways, that's nearly everything that's been going on in my life recently. 

Well, also this one kid that me and my friend always talk about. He's a great guy and getting to know him is quite interesting, but I always feel like I am judged under his eyes. Yes it's the human nature to judge others, but I feel as if he does it in an especially provocative and nearly a rude manner. I don't know, it's still a theory, but I don't think I am wrong. So yeah, that's my life these days. I'll try my best to post a little more on here but things obviously get in the way.
