Charlie (The Webmaster)

Hi, my name’s Charlie Bartlett and started this blog (back in 2006 but got more “professional” it in 2008) to document all of the information that might be useful for any teenager growing up. This includes any movies, music, facts, and videos that have shaped who I am today. I’m no longer a teenager but I like to keep the blog relevant with guest bloggers in high school and college.

I feel that it’s important to share all the things I’ve learned about drugs, sex, music, religion, other cultures, etc. because that’s what they don’t teach us in school, and ironically, that’s what life is about. Over the years of expressing myself on here I’ve realized that I’m STILL CONFUSED AS FUCK but I’ll try to organize my thoughts as best i can through this blog and help shape other’s viewpoints. This blog isn’t just for teens (although that’s what the majority of my posts will be about) but for anyone that is open minded. Feel free to post any comments or suggestions I READ THEM ALL.

Hopefully this site will shake the foundation of the core beliefs you were born with and let you come up with your own ideas instead of going along with what the media, school, and your parents tell you.

Libbers (Guest Blogger)

So, they call me Libby. Tennis is my sport, I’ve been playing it since I can remember. I also write, not just blogs, but pieces of literature like poetry and stories. I’m from the city of Albany, and the town that you don’t need to know the name of. I’m a firm believer in everything happening for a reason and, that lasting impressions are more important than the first ones.

Contributing to this blog is a venting mechanism and also a way to share stuff with people, you know, open their eyes to how the world really is, at least according to the point of view of the average teenage girl. Enjoy

(Libbers also writes on her own blog http://libberrs.blogspot.com/)

Makavelli (Guest Blogger)

I’m 17, just turned 17, I’m studying Criminal Justice at a vo/tech school, along with the other subjects. My life right now, revolves around video games, music, and writing. Everyone’s trying to get me to go to college, but I’m just not college bound. I’m a dreamer, I love pop culture of the past ’40s years. I spend the time I’m not hanging with my friends observing other people, especially my teachers. I scope them out before I find the ones who’ll let me skip. I’m just at a point in life where I don’t know what’s happening or going to happen…

I have many names, but you may refer to me as Lawrence if you like. Sports are what i live for, music is my passion, and advice has been what I’ve been doing for the last 10 years of my life. If you can think of a horrible situation, I’ve been through it.

Terrible relationships? I’ve been on either side. Horrid breakups? My specialty from any angle. Family problems? I lived through them. Writing for this blog is my way to help others avoid terrible mistakes I’ve made, and maybe offer different perspectives on somethings you may take for granted.

I like being young, that’s all you really need to know. I like pop culture of all sorts. I have friends from all backgrounds, I’m pretty sure if I had a party everyone would be like “who’s that?, who’s this?, why are they here?”. I enjoy time alone just as much as time spent with friends and family. Follow my tumblr if you’re into that sort of thing: http://drinkingpoolwater.tumblr.com/

Some people say I’m quiet, others say I’m annoying. Just depends on how people are treating me and such. I like meeting/talking with new people. I’ve seen a lot of things, been a lot of places; if you need advice I could probably give it for whatever the situation.

My favorite song is Wake Up by the Arcade Fire, favorite place is NYC, and favorite movie is SLC Punk. I’m nostalgic to the point where it might be a bad thing. I long for the past and in the process sometimes miss the present. Also here’s my twitter, you know what to do: http://twitter.com/brandonletsgo

Dave is pretty much what everyone calls me, so that will suffice. I haven’t much else to do with my life at this point, so I guess that’s what will drive me to write here and various other sites. My viewpoints, however, have been deemed to be “stupid” by some people, so I guess that, given the right subject, my dark side will come out (ie, every negative thought in my head), and I could possibly write something that may be considerably offensive.

Music is like a religion to me. I’m not as well versed in the mechanics of it, but I have a bit of knowledge on a few instruments, and I like working with and tinkering guitars. The listening bit is where the religious part comes in. Most of the music I listen to very often is something that can almost give me a physical reaction: it touches my mind and soul and causes me to completely fall into it. In fact, almost every alias I have on a website is based around Agalloch songs.
