Sunflower Seeds

I want to spit out all the information that I have regarding this food.
I can't remember when I actually started eating sunflower seeds in an abundance. My earliest recollection of sunflower seeds was eating them every so often when they were available at a party. There were kinds that tasted bland and bad but there were also kinds that tasted good and had flavor. I couldn't tell the difference between the two until years later.
Now I know that you can tell whether or not it has a flavor from the bag it's stored in. If it's red or green then that's good, it tastes good. If it's a more, how do i say this, sluggish green, it has no flavor. It's like light green, but it's not. My parents both like the bland one better. I asked them why and they told me it's because after a while the flavorful one starts tasting bad because it's so sour. I've single- handedly taken down a few red and green sunflower seed bags, and I have never thought of it as bad. The only bad thing that has come from sunflower seeds is the sty that I have. I definitely remember talking about this in an earlier blog, so you probably know what sty is. I got it because I ate sunflower seeds then didn't wash my hands and rubbed my eye. This along with general bad hygiene resulted in two bumps on my eyes. They were supposed to disappear by themselves 3-4 days after they appeared, but it's been two months and I still have them.
Even after knowing that I got sty from sunflower seeds, I still eat it. Of course now I know not to rub anything in my eyes. The hands that touch sunflower seeds won't touch my eyes til they have been washed.
Thanks for reading!

Being Short

Being short sucks doesn't it? Every time you talk to your peers you have to look up. It hurts the neck. Doesn't it suck walking through a bunch of people and only seeing the back of the person in front of you, not what's up ahead?  Don't you hate it when you really like to play basketball but you're short, making it so that you can't get some rebounds or shoot some shots that you could make if you were taller? You have to take more effort on getting space between you and the defender when you could just shoot the ball from wherever if you were taller.  Being tall gives you more confidence. You can appear more attractive. By social norms, the boyfriend should be taller than the girlfriend. That kind of sucks, because when you're short there are very few that are shorter than you. That's my rant! I am Albert Einstein.  

Muscles and Working Out

I am seriously at a lack of ideas for blog-writing. So today, I'll talk about something I have only started doing, working out. I gotta say, working out consistently has been one of my long-time goals. I remember last summer I started working out everyday, but that only lasted for 11 days. It was interrupted because I had to go to a camp. After that, I never found the determination to start working out. I would suddenly work out one day but those days only came once a month, maybe even less. One of these days happened during quarantine. But it wasn't like the others. I kept working out. I don't know why I kept a routine on during quarantine but not during any other time. Perhaps it was because online school gave me a lot more time to do things I wanted to do. Either way, I started working out. I adjusted my work out based on things that I saw on youtube. For the first month I only focused on upper body. Only now am I starting to do lower body. Of course during this time...

Current Stuff

Some interesting stuff has happened recently. Mainly one. There's a teen in Kenosha, Wisconsin. More accurately, he drove to Kenosha Wisconsin, then proceeded to shoot and kill two BLM protesters. Here's what happened, based on what I know. He drove over from his house with an assault rifle. He was treated as a friend by police and was given water, probably because he was one of the few who actually supported them there. They saw him with an assault rifle. He then killed two people. The police of course heard this, but didn't act on it. He then walked back into his car and drove home. Now he's facing charges and a ton of backlash. I know this will also impact his college. What I just don't know is how people are supporting someone like this. His name is Kyle Rittenhouse. He wasn't even defending himself. He doesn't live there. He drove in from his own house to  Kenosha and shot two people. Tucker Carlson and Steven Crowder have actively defended him. Carl...
