Can't think of a title

Lol, I haven't posted in ages.
So, I have a couple of things to talk about today.
Firstly, I just want to say how gutted I am to hear that TheJoeFrom1993 is retiring from vlogging. His vlog was great and I will really miss it. You're just so talented Joe, you should definitely be on TV someday.
Secondly, I wanna say how pissed off I am about what happened to AJ and Matt. I get so angry about how so many people are prejudiced. These particular guys were losers, and I hope they catch lots of nasty STDs. And it sucks how their problems can stop you doing stuff you love, like AJ not being able to drum (or do some other things lol).
I'm also really pissed off because there's something in my room that keeps beeping and I don't know what it is. But I swear the beeping keeps moving.

I can't remember why I decided to start blogging atm. I mean, I could rant on about the Nats winning the election, but I don't see the point. No-one reads this anyway. I just feel really empty at the moment.Dw, I'm not suicidal or anything, just empty. I'll post again if I decide I have something worth posting about.
Laters,

So, I heard Proposition 8 passed. I know it doesn't directly affect me, 'cause I don't line in Cali, or America, but it still makes me sad. Just as the news of Obama being voted in (huge grats to him btw) comes, it is made bittersweet by this blow to equal rights. Isn't California supposed to be one of the most progressive states? I don't wanna get into an anti-America thing, because there are loads of things I love about the country. But for a country founded on the ideal voiced by George Washington when he proclaimed that "All men are created equal", there are sooooo many double standards. Like Obama becoming Democratic candidate. I think it is great that America voted in not only a black candidate, but also a black President. But from what I have seen, Hillary Clinton didn't win because America would rather have a black president than a female one. But anywho, back to Prop. 8. Proposition 8 is, from what I can see, a violation of constitutional rights. The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution states in Section 1:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Doesn't the part "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;" mean that Proposition 8, by denying gay couples the right to marry, mean that it is abridging (abridge: to deprive; cut off) a "privilege" of "citizens of the United States"?

Lol, I was only going to make a short post to display my regret. I would like to thank Wikipedia, for helping me cover and check the bits I wasn't too sure on.

So with the NZ elections coming up this week, I fell obliged to make some sort of political statement. Here it is. Nationals policy all seems to be ridiculously left-wing to me (for those who don't know/care about NZ politics, National is our right-wing main party. Labour is the left). Even with politics in New Zealand all being quite "central", how can any self respecting National Party even consider making policy that wants to improve education and the health sector? I don't think these policy's are bad, I just can't understand how one of their billboards can say more doctors and nurses, and less bureaucrats. Have they no self-respect? But enough of the politics. Thankfully the campaigning will soon be over for another three years. So I have a question for anyone who has somehow managed to stumble over this blog. Actually I have two. Firstly, how do I find out my viewer count? Plz post answers in comments. Secondly, what is your favourite style of shoe? I will be creating a poll shortly to post your answers.

1st Post! Yay!

So, I made a blog. Exciting. First I'll explain the name. I had no idea what i was going to call this thing. At the time I happened to be listening to Jesse McCartney's delectable album, Departure. Track 3, Rock You (Feat. Sean Garret) came on. So I used it. Long story, I know. So I'm a 17 year old teenage boy who lives in NZ and is flamboyantly gay with an amazing sense of style. So naturally I want to be a Fashion Designer when I grow up. I enjoy listening to music, and people frequently throw things at me to shut me up when I sing along. I enjoy drawing, when I can think of something to draw. I have an extremely boring life, so a lot of posts won't be about me. But I'm also narcissistic, and therefore won't be able to avoid the occasional one. Please comment if you like what I'm saying. If you are one of those charming people that hate things based on prejudices, don't bother to comment negatively on anything here purely because of aforementioned prejudices. I don't care how or why you are prejudiced, I won't read it. However, if you merely disagree on something I say due to differing point of view, please comment. I enjoy arguing. Anyway, I talk, or write as the case may be, too much. Expect tangents. Actually, I take back my earlier statement on prejudicial comments. Post them. I will try to use paragraphs in future, for easier reading, but its 1am and I really can't be bothered. Anywho, like I said I talk/write too much. I'm going to bed. Good Night (or good morning for people as anal retentive as me). Salut!
