a lot of my life
has
been realizing
that i
would
cross
oceans
for
people who wouldn't
jump puddles for me
jump puddles for me
How roll call will go
in the future:

I wonder if clouds ever look
down on us and say "Hey look, that one is shaped like an idiot".
Unless
you
physically
see
me
opening a tampon, don't just
assume that because I'm angry, I'm on my period because
that's just annoying and tonight when you're sleeping, I
will "just assume" you are dead and bury you in the
backyard.
You hear a noise.
It's a soft clink followed by footsteps in your yard. You spring to your feet, and race to the door. Flinging it open wide, you race to your backyard. There, you see one thing, and one thing only: a spilled milkshake. Happy tears fill your eyes as you gingerly pick up the milkshake. The wind blows your hair back as you stare off into the sunset and whisper softly to yourself: The boys were here.
I have this weird self-esteem
issue where I hate myself, but I still think I'm better than everyone else.
I never
understood
why
6 got
so upset when 7 8 9, but then I
remembered that 6 and 9 have a special
relationship.
Macklemore.
So I'm currently enrolled in a Public
Speaking class in school. The first assignment was to write
a speech on anything. It could only last from 2-3 minutes.
So, I chose Macklemore. I thought you guys might enjoy
it.
"When I was asked the question,
'What are you going to do for your speech?' I
answered with, 'Macklemore.' No one really knew who
Macklemore was, so to describe him, I said, 'The guy
who sings Thrift Shop.' Instantly, everyone knows who
I'm talking about. And you guys kind of gave me weird
looks or giggled, like, 'How is this girl going to
write a 2 minute speech on a guy who sings about thrift
shopping?'
"Well, that guy is actually named Ben Haggerty. Ben was born June 19, 1983, in Seattle, Washington. In the year 2000, when he was 16, he began his music carreer. He released an album under the name of Prof. Macklemore. The album's sales were minimal.
"In 2005, Macklemore began abusing substances. OxyContin, in specific. He hit rock bottom to the point where he lost everything; his home, his family, and even his music carreer. In 2008, after 3 years of drug addiction, he finally decided to clean himself up. He was sober by 2009.
"The Heist was the next album to be released. This album was released under the name Macklemore. He dropped the Prof. The Heist features Thrift Shop, but it also has songs like Otherside and Same Love. On this album, Macklemore talks about adolescent violence, suicide, gay marriage and drug addiction. In his song Otherside, where he profiles substance abuse, he uses the quote:
"You're stuck, looking in a mirror like I can't believe what I've become. Swore I was gonna be someone, and growing up, everyone always does. We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz.
"Same Love describes Macklemore's views on gay marriage and gay rights. In that song, he uses the line:
"It's the same hate that caused war over religion. Gender to skin color. The complexion of your pigment. The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins. It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference. Live on and be yourself.
"And this man is famous for the line: I wear your grandad's clothes. I look incredible.
"Macklemore is so much better than Thrift Shop. Macklemore is an inspiration and my idol. He's the reason why I keep pushing myself to be better and to make the right descions. He's such a poetic genius and it's disgusting that he's famous for potentially the worst song he'll ever produce. Macklemore is not the guy who sings Thrift Shop. Macklemore is the man who's attempting to change the genre of rap and hip hop music.
"That is Macklemore. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you write a 2 minute speech on the man who sings about thrift shops."
