Yeah, I lied. No extravaganza.
If done right, this should be my 1000th post.
Now, since
A. I'm really bored, and have nothing else to do
2. Nitro and Tails said I should
D. No D, really. I just am.
I promised to write my life's story. But before we get to the main event, I want to ask all of you:
Have I made a welcome addition to this site?
Is there anything you really hate about me?
Or even minorly think is annoying with me?
Alright. Now, without (much) further ado:
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I sp *is shot*
Let's try that again...:
My name is Red, and my voice is so smooth, I rappin' voice over though my lips never move.
I MEAN
The story begins. A long time ago, about 22.6 years, a baby was born. That was my brother. We share the same mother, and a different father. A few years later, my sister was born. We share the same father. About 2 years later, my sisters mother dies, and my mother gets divorced. They met at an exercise class, my father being the instructor and my mother being the student. Late in the year of 1992, they marry, and 1 year and three days later, the most awesome person who will ever walk the face of this Earth was born in a hospital in Manhattan.
That's me.
So yeah, both of my siblings are really half-siblings, and neither are related to each other. We were a happy happy family, kinda typical Jewish, though not religious New Yawkers.
Soon after I was born, we moved to Brooklyn. At age 3, we moved to New Jersey for a reason that isn't so clear to me, and never will be. I started off the years I vaguely remember in a small kindergarten school, where my mother taught. I grew up happily, doing all the normal things a 3-7 year old would do, watch too much TV, play with his friends, etc.
When I turned seven, that's when my life started to change.
We started to go to these Jewish seminars for the entire weekend, kinda frequently. I didn't really think much of it, I basically stayed in the kid's program for the whole thing. Little did I know,while I was frolicking with the other little 'uns, my parents were getting to like this Judaism thing more and more.
The summer before I turned 8, my family became full-fledged Jews like we are today.
Up until 3rd grade (not including) I went to an ordinary public school, my Jewish education virtually nil. Now, I had to learn an entirely new language, something that was A. not easy and 2. not done very well. To this day I believe I'm behind a little in Hebrew studies because of that. After that year in school, from 4 grade and on, I was enrolled in a more orthodox Jewish school (there are levels...)
My best friend came with me. This school had too good of a Hebrew teaching for me to do well in, but a crappy enough English for me to be the top of the class, about.
Nothing really happened in my life until about... 7th grade. Same school, I hated it, my best friend left, and I was on a depression steak for basically the entire year.
8th grade, not too much better. I realized I really hated my school. I should mention that one of the main reasons I hated it was an hour long bus ride each way. My best friend was slowly becoming not my best friend, as we only saw each other like 1ce a week. Summer of 8th grade, went to some sleepaway camp, nothing else, really.
High school. I went to the one that I did for a few reasons. Several of my friends were going there. It was a very short drive, and after the past 5 years... big incentive. Is that really all? Oh, also we were family friends with the Hebrew principal. My best friend continued to go to a different school.
This is a bad school for several reasons: The hours. I'm sure most of you know them, but if you don't:
Sunday (YES I SAID SUNDAY) 8:00- 2:00
Money and Wednesday: 7:40- 6:35
Teusday and Thursday: Until 8:05
Friday till 12.
That's not the least of it. Basically, the eduacation that I'm getting isn't all that great, I don't think I'll be able to handle college with what I'm used to from this school. That's a problem. Also, in 10th grade, I started having Doubts about religion. How do I know it's my God, if He exists at all? Why does He need our prayers? Why do I have to do any of the millions of things we're commanded?
But that's not my delemia (SP), oh no. It's the fact that outwardly, I have to appear all Jewish for the benefits of my parents and family and school, or I'll have to have several theological debates and psychological sessions.
Parents. Probably the most overprotective pair you'll ever meet. I have no phone, no social life, and if they had they're way 100%, I'd have no internet. Not many friends, either. The only ones I got are the ones I grew up with, on my religious level.
Oh yeah, about 2 months ago, my best friend "officially" quit being Jewish, or acting like that. Now I never see him, and I kinda feel weird calling him that.
About Me: I enjoy reading, surfing the web ('specially now I have you guys ) , playing Brawl+, watching movies, playing some sports, though my favorites are the lesser competitive ones: Biking and swimming, though I like to do them with others. I'm pretty smart,sexy, funny, but I really don't have much uniqueness about me. I'm pretty good at a lot of things, but nothing I'm Really good at. My report card grade averages somewhere between an A- and an A.
Basically the only friends I've got are the ones who I went to school with. They're actually really smart, but they don't know all that much...
Basically, that's my life in a nutshell. Not much of one, is it? I'm a terrible writer, and I feel weird now, so I probably also missed major and minor facts.
Also, make sure to pay attention to the questions I posed in the beginning, I do want to know.
Also, feel free to ask any personal or non-personal questions.
If done right, this should be my 1000th post.
