The tragedy of the Newtown shootings is, above all, a terrible crisis of great suffering, pain, and injustice, especially for the families of the 20 children who have been lost, and the seven adults who gave their lives as they sought to protect those children they had been entrusted with.
But even more terrible than the reality of the situation is the overwhelming possibility that it could have...

Good Samaritan; Bad Mouth (Granada Visit Pt. 2)
I was on my way out to the staff parking lot when I heard some laughing and yelling behind me. This group of freshmen bops and bros- well, I guess they’re sophomores now- were standing on the grass in front of the leadership room, and they were yelling at a freshman that was just minding his own business walking home.
“Hey freshie, I like your belt!” “You really know how...

Spilling Thoughts (Granada Visit Pt. 1)
On Friday I dropped by my old high school for a bit with my good friend Matt to visit our friends and some teachers. It was the first time I had been back since graduating, and I was excited to see how things had changed.
Our leadership, ASB, and class offices are composed of some really good people, people that aren’t just creative and energetic and funny and charismatic, but respectful-...

brights-on:
So I’m writing back. Dear Freshman Me, You’re going to go a long way to get to the person that’s writing to you now. People say that the next four years of your life are going to be your greatest, they’re not. But, they are the greatest yet. You’re going to change, a huge amount, but remember, every little thing that happened, good or bad, contributed to the person you’ll become....

Discussing The AP Stats Test
Miranda: Well you don't need to do well, just better than the others, which I'm sure you did, based on everyone else's confidence levels.
Jaimeson: Hopefully their... Confidence Intervals... weren't too good either.
Miranda: And their scores were... Significantly Lower.
Jaimeson: Well not too low, we don't wanna be... Mean.
Miranda: I'm sure this is just an... Independent... part of our character, and is a completely... Normal... reaction.
Jaimeson: It's not that we don't want them to do good, we just don't want our college plans to be... Skewed up.

Lenten Resolutions
I’ve been spending way too much time on social networking lately, so my resolution for Lent is to cut down drastically on my Facebook and Tumblr time.
I deleted the Facebook and Tumblr apps from my phone, and with the exception of 4 Facebook posts that I’m allotting in case I need to advertise school events as part of ASB, I’m going to try not to log on to either of those two...

eh-mm asked: Hey Jaimeson, I just wanted to let you know how much I truly admire you. Most likely half of the girls at our school, when asked about you, go on about how attractive you are. but I can't help but look up to you for how amazing you are with dealing with tough situations and reaching out to others. you are the wisest and most mature teenager I have ever come across. You're overall just a...

GHS vs LHS
I told myself to stay off of Facebook last night to try and avoid the onslaught of statuses and arguments revolving around the game. I thought it would be safe by this afternoon, but unfortunately that isn’t the case. So, two things:
First, the usual. Yes, Granada is in NCS and Livermore isn’t. But Livermore played better than Granada this time, and the score reflects that. That...

The Super Bowl makes me feel so important. Companies spend countless hours and millions of dollars to hire consultants and advertising executives to come up with the most clever ways to market their products, and then millions more to buy the air time to show their commercials, and I get to sit here with some chicken and just go,
“Eh. That was alright, I guess.”
