stupid hurrican is runining my plans to visit my best friend alex on the west side! stupid stupid frances. it is not even going to hit! my parents are all like "put down the shutters! mayday!". whatever. sucks for people in vero beach, not me. i'm gonna be all good.
also, school is canceled in monroe, miami-dade, broward, and palm beach counties tomorrow and friday. NO! i wanted to go visit my school (Miami Country Day School) tomorrow! the school is all abuzz because of the new famous people - Shaquille O'Neal's two oldest kids and XZibit's (of Pimp My Ride fame) son - who have joined the school's enrollment list. And Zoe Kravitz ditched boarding school in New York at the last minute to an unexpected return at the school. At my school, famous people's kids don't go through a regular admittance procedure - they just have automatic accepetence. Some people think it's unfair, but I don't. The parents obviously have more money than others, and there is a good chance that their philantropic (whatever, I can't spell) side will donate more cash to the school. The school is already trying to get O'Neal to whip out his wallet to put his name on the new football field, which is going to have this special kind of material (not grass, not astroturf, something else) on the ground that lets people get non-hurt if they fall. Yahoo.
Summer has been uneventful. I was in New York City thrice and had a lot of fun (as always) each time. The first time I flew up was my favourite - I went in alone and visited with a lot of friends in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Also went to an "underground" warehouse party full of people from Ceyda's high school. That was awesome. I also saw Napolean Dynamite, which I need to see again. It was awesome. I also went to the Bahamas - blah. I have been there too many times. People always say to me "OOOO! The Bahamas!" and I am like "So? Everybody goes there all the time." I guess I don't realize that the Bahamas are a lot farther from San Antonio^ than they are from Miami. Sort of like how I go "OOOO! South Padre Island!"* I also went to Bar Harbour, Maine - save me please. I don't get why my parents enjoy going to nowhere towns in the middle of Maine. For those not familar with Bar Harbour, it is actually quite a "happening" (I use that term loosely) vacation town right on Maine's Atlantic coast. I was surprised at how many people from Miami my parents ran into that place. Why in the world would you leave Miami for a vacation weekend in Maine? Stupid. We also went to Halifax, which was beautiful, mainly because it is located in one of the world's most beautiful places - Canada, a nation as stupid as America should aspire to be, but they never will come close. I may move there one day (not Halifax, though. Toronto or Vancouver are more my thing). We also went to Saratoga Springs, where most our time was spent with a realator shopping for houses. Which is stupid, because we don't need another house, but my mom is adament on having a house in Saratoga Springs so she and my dad can live there two months a year. Stupid. Then we went to Orlando and Walt Disney World. Don't laugh, I love Walt Disney World. I also wonder how I ever went to Walt Disney World with lines? There aren't such thing as line anymore...the longest line I made the whole four days there was 10 minutes for Splash Mountain. I remember having to wait hours for Pirates of the Caribbean - this time around there was a 0 minute wait time, and that turned out to be true. My family and I walked on the boat, and we each had a row to ourself. Thinking it would be cool, I decided to laydown during the drop part. It was fun! I suggest others to laydown during the drop. I also am still trying to figure out how it took a whole day to visit the MGM Studios. That park usually takes only a few hours at most, but it took the whole day. Not complaining - we did every attraction at the park, including Voyage of the Little Mermaid, and never waited in a line. No joke - we never waited in a line. Even for the ever-so-awesome-Alex-filled-adventure-seeking Twlight Zone: Tower of Terror attraction. Yahoo.
In addition, I would like to congratulate the best city ever created - Miami - for pulling off an incredibly smooth 21st Annual MTV VMA show. While the show was a little too conservative (blame the stupid FCC and the idiot conservos that run it**), it ran without a hitch. I think agree with my good pal J-Lo when she calls Miami "the steamiest and sexiest town on the planet." Go J-Lo, go. And yes, Miami is better than where you are from? Why? It just is. We are bilingual. That makes us better. We live a relaxed lifestyle. That makes us better. We love sidewalk cafes, were we sit, people watch, enjoy some gelato or coffe, and converse for two hours. That makes us better. We understand the concept of having stores open past 8pm. That make's us better. We host the MTV VMA's, the Latin Grammys, and the Source Hip Hop Music Award, not to mention the Super Bowl every few years. That makes us better. We are the star of popular TV shows like CSI: Miami and Eve, blockbuster films like Bad Boys II and 2Fast2Furious, and best-selling video games like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Driv3r. That makes us better. We have Shaquille O'Neal. That makes us better. We live in an urban environment, full of people and density. That makes us better. We aren't just white - we are Haitain, Jamaican, Cuban, Argentine, South African, Turkish, Israeli, Dominican (shout out to Alex!), Colombian, Italian. That make's us better. We have Starbucks open till 2.30Am, McDonald's open 24hours, and an amazing night scene that means at 2am on a Tuesday morning, you can grab a sandwitch at Jerry's Famous Delhi, do some grocery shopping at Market #2, pick up a pharmacy perscription at Walgreen's or cvs/pharmacy, grab a Happy Meal at McDonald's or a 6" inch sub at Subway, an early morning breakfast at Cafeteria Twenty Four, lounge around at Honey, catch some dancing at Mango's, relax on the beach at Nikki Beach, or sit an people watch at the 9th Street Cafe, on the first floor of The Hampton apartment building. That makes us better. Miami is that cool. Chicago? No, sorry.
Atlanta? Little Rock? Istanbul? Luanada? Yeah...I thought so...Miami is better. Be jealous of Miami. Miami is that cool.

*I don't, actually.
**In my perfect world, conservatives from around the United States, like Mormons, Christians, Georgians (including Jacksonville and Tallahasse) and others that do nothing more than butt into people's lives and tell them to live like them, should all be put in South Carolina (crowd them in there). Then, South Carolina will cecede from the United States and we will figure out a way to seperate it from our landmass and send them out to sea. Then, they can live on this little island (hey, it will be surrounded by beaches!) and do conservo things, like censor television. I would love to seperate Georgia too (after all, its not much more than a Delta hub, peach farms, and a Coca-Cola factory), but I rather see the conservos suffer in limited space.
