Wallpapers are truly stunning. They provide an escape and a glimpse into a surreal world that just takes your breath away. Here are some pictures along with comments by me of each (Hell to the no it's not going to be that critical stuff that your photo teacher makes you do).

This is by far my favorite desktop wallpaper. It is just so stunning and breathtaking that you must look at it for a long period of time and imagine that you're there. It creates a simply alluring image and that's just....tops. It captures your imagination and your soul. A recommendation of a song to be listened to while viewing this picture is Space Between Two World by Nujabes and Fat Jon and can be listened to here.

Who doesn't love Japanese architecture? This one just makes you wish you could stop, take a break from it all, and just...chill. It makes you wish you could stop by this pagoda and enjoy it's splendor. Not breathtaking, but does look beautiful.

Mankind has come a long way. And this picture seems to resonate with a feel of a time before man in a timeless ocean. The full moon complements the picture very well.

Ah, the sea. The tropics! Beaches and the sea always make good stunning wallpapers. They really do. This island really astounds in it's splendor. It's an island, surrounded by a beautiful sea. What's not to love?

A purple tree atop the land by a body of water. Not much to say about this one except it captures the imagination. While not as stunning as some others in this post, still. Love it.

Okay. If a wallpaper could capture your imagination, it's this one. It speaks of a mystical beach, perhaps on another planet with a person walking it. This is the stuff of dreams. A song choice for this one is Dreams by The Rippingtons which can be found here.

Japan, Japan, Japan, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Tokiwa Hotel is shown as well as a garden and hot spring. I want to just stop everything and travel to this hotel, RIGHT NOW. Japan, is there anything you can't do to sway my spirit? Gorgeous, gorgeous, and gorgeous.

Timeless. That's one word to describe this one. It feels as this is one another plane, perhaps in a dream. Love this one.

Winter. It's cold, it's nice, it makes nice wallpapers. This one makes you want to walk the path with your dearest sweetheart while holding hands in this silent winter night. Or something like that

I'm running out of words. Fast. This one, once again, stunning, enraptures me, and takes me away.

Almost feels as if you've departed from this world and are in the next step of life. But not in a bad way though. It feels calm and breathtaking.

Okay, this one surely makes it seem as if you are in a dream. This just has the whole dreamy feel to it. Breathtaking. Amazing. Gorgeous, God, I love this one, I truly do.
_______________________________________________________
I really love these, I truly do. Wallpapers allure us in a breathtaking view of the world, or the other world. We get swept up in these, and it's nice. I don't think this is my last wallpapers post, so look for more from me. Till next time faithful readers. This is Dizzy. Stay frosty. Till next time space cadet.

Dizzy is apparently Emo and Dizzy is Heartbroken
Alright, let me just say, the majority of teenagers are going through personal demons (as I've said in the previous blog post). And these demons wouldn't have most likely have existed years ago (also said). But a rising trend I'm starting to see is teens calling other teens emo. The word typically describes an emotionally unstable or fake person that uses emotions just to get attention. That word has run rampant in teen society. There's even a group on Facebook named, and I have subbed my name, "DIZZY!!!!!!! Stop being emo. Come back to EARTH!!!!!!!"...yeah. Yes, whoever it is really did it. Let me say that I have been going through some stuff, some really horrible god awful stuff. And let me also state that how you handle your life is your business, not the world's. So if your "friends" wanted to help you, they'd HELP you by talking to you and not making Facebook groups about you being emo.
These days when someone acts sad, boom, labeled as emo...what...the...*#$^? So whenever you're sad you're emo? Wouldn't that make all of America emo at one point? It's ridiculous. Just because someone's sad when your not doesn't mean you can smack on a label and be done with them. It's just not right. People deal with depression multiple ways. Some just step into it and are done, but some are not as unfortunate. With some it seems, the depression lingers. It stays there and doesn't go away for an unpredictable amount of time. And during that dark period, everything seems pointless. And also, that depression comes unexpected. You could be at a party having fun when something happens and makes you depressed. Once again, you don't label someone just for being depressed, it's ignorant and uncaring towards that person's feelings. When a person is in that state, everything in their mind becomes skewed. They think that they don't have any friends that care about them, and that their life will lead to despair. Reminding them that they do have good friends helps, tremendously. The worse thing you can do to someone that's down in the dumps is try helping them, then getting discouraged and leave them to dry. It's happened to me before. I'm depressed, friends come to help, I push them away, friends leave. Don't leave! If anything you're making it worse! You have to stick in there and show them that you care.
Another topic in this blog post, I have recently gotten my heart broken by a girl. Now you may sit there on your comfy chair and think to yourself: Big whup. But, it's always different when you aren't experiencing it. It hurts. Badly. You cry. A lot. And it sucks. This girl, I really liked her. I would have done anything for her. I wrote poetry about her, I prayed to God about her, I sincerely and truly liked her. However, she popped that bubble. I was made aware of it through a friend. Then that friend told me not to talk to her on Facebook about it, but I couldn't wait. I talked to her and I won't get into names or details, but things...ended. Before they could even begin. It helped that I was listening to Japanese metal while talking to her. She said that I shouldn't be talking to her via about this via Facebook but...I didn't want her to see me cry in real life. It broke me. This was the first time that I told a girl that I liked her only to be rejected. I cried a few tears but as I later found out, from me not crying and holding back my tears, that wasn't all that I had. Only till I got in the car the day after, I let out an ear piercing scream and burst into tears. These were the real tears, these were followed by yelling, sobbing, and bawling. I called my best friend and just let it all out. I hadn't done that in maybe three years. It all just came out, all of it. I wanted the best for her, I still do. And you know how there's always that part of you that thinks, "Oh! Maybe if I do this she'll like me!"? That part was there, and I just had to keep ignoring it and ignoring it.
I don't think girls know just how badly they wound certain guys. Good guys, one's that really care for a girl are easier to break for some reason. Don't know why, don't know how, but it is. If that happened to a normal guy, he'd most likely be like, "On to the next one!" and be done with it. Who knows. I've surrounded myself with good friends and the heartbreak seems to be fading away, slowly. I really don't see myself getting a girlfriend any time soon though. I've never had a girlfriend and have only really liked about three. My view is me not dating till college, which is kind of...scary. *shudder* But anyway, this has been another blog post by that kooky zany kid known as Dizzy. Till next time my brothers and sisters, this is Dizzy, OUT!

Addictions of Teenagers - A past and present perspective
Hello children! Talking now about exactly what it says in the header, addictions.
Back in the 60's or 70's, usual teen activities consisted of: A) Going to sock hops (google it) B) Making trouble for "the man" and C) Going to drive in diners. Today's typical teen activities: Drinking! Smoking! Doing drugs! And having sex! Now before I start let me just say that I am not one to cast judgment into any of my friends lives but certain things I don't approve of. Now because they do these things doesn't make me better than them, oh no, my children. It only means our views conflict. I have friends that have lost their virginity. I have friends that drink, sometimes on a daily basis and this just makes me wonder...do all teenagers have some kind of addiction they foster? Or should they even partake in these actions?
So, has society deteriorated? The answer to that question: certainly. Twenty years ago, if a white man called a black man a nigger you'd most likely get the response: "You cracker devil!" and then said white man would get the living day lights beaten out of him. Now, same situation, the response would be: "Nigga, f*** you!" and the black man would would walk away. What has happened to our society? Changes, that's what. Some for worse, some for the better. One of the key things is, certain things don't change, some fade and some grow. Teen pregnancies. Back then you got pregnant at 16, you were considered a whore, yes, and then you'd get you behind beat. Now, you get pregnant at 16 and you don't get your behind whupped, no, you get a reality show on MTV. What in the hell has happened? Have all of our values faded? But teen pregnancies are one thing. Back then, drinking and doing drugs did happened amongst teenagers. But, who's to say that they have increased? Along with sex. Along with religion. Our great country has undergone major modifications.
Another response I got from one of my friends that drank (still drinks) is that when the parents let him drink, in the future he isn't going to go crazy on it because he's getting all of that out now. And that, I would say, is probably good parenting. Parents apply their values and doctrines on us when we are kids but when we get to be teenager, well...some thing happens. Soon, we develop our own minds. Soon we start questioning things. Soon, we start doing things that if the younger version of ourselves saw, they'd most likely start crying. We change, like I said, for better or worse. And we start to develop our own theories, our own doctrines. A common one: The breaking off of one's religion. Take this example for instance. There's a kid. Kid goes with parents to church. Kid gives his life to the lord. Kid goes through life loving god. Kid gets older. Kid undergoes tragedy. Kid questions God. Doubt starts to develop in kid's mind. Kid becomes atheist. Kid starts to drink. Kid starts smoking marijuana. Kid gets girl pregnant. Kid drops out of school to support "baby's mama". End scenario. Now, this doesn't mean that if you become an atheist, you'll do the things described. No, I know those that don't believe in God and they still act perfectly right treating others nicely. What I mean is that once you don't follow the basis of your religion, that's when the "bad things" start to enter your life. You use to not have sex because you believed according to your religion that you shouldn't. You lose faith in your religion, and you start having sex because that moral guideline isn't there anymore.
As I've said before, and I'll say again, my purpose in life is not to cast judgment. Perfect quote from the bible, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". I have my own faults. But I say before you dear readers in all truth that I, Dizzy, do not smoke, drink, do drugs, and am a virgin. But if you DO all of those things...does that make you cool? These days the pressure's on, the pressure is red hot. There are many temptations. One that I notice is that parents trust their kids so well that they let liquor lay around the house and expect them not to drink it. ......What in the HELL are the parents thinking? That's like going to an all you can eat buffet and asking your kids not to EAT anything. So in fact, I'm going to say it, it's the parents fault. If a boy has a single parent mother who keeps saying to her child to wait till marriage to have sex yet she has intercourse with her boyfriend, who in the hell is she to keep preaching? My dear readers, I'll also say that I am a Born Again christian. I am happy being a christian. I love Jesus. Sometimes people do practice what they preach but in some cases, they don't. That doesn't necessarily mean that the preaching is wrong. It's just wrong for you to say what you don't practice.
Addictions run with us all, some more than others. But how we deal with these shouldn't be because someone tells you to do something. You shouldn't do it because you believe it's wrong. You shouldn't drink because of your parents, you shouldn't do it because it's unhealthy and against the law if you're underage. You shouldn't smoke because, once again, it's against the law if you're underage and it wrecks your lungs (and makes less likely to get a date). I believe that you shouldn't drink, smoke, or have sex till marriage. But I'm not going to force my beliefs or religion on you. You want to ask about my religion, I'll tell you. You want to know more about Jesus, I'll tell you. I am not going to force my Christianity on you like the freaking Crusades. Because, if they READ the bible, treating someone like goes AGAINST the bible. So, in closing I'd just like to state that America is now different than it was before. So, my children, until next time. This is Dizzy, and this has been a blog post. Till next time.
