AC's Thoughts On Life

Hello one and all! I am here for the purpose of my Honors English class. This is where I will write down my thoughts about anything and everything. Just know that they will not help solve world hunger or cause world peace, but, they should be oddly entertaining! Enjoy!

Playing Dumb

After being in Junior High for almost 3 years, there is one thing that continues to puzzle me. Why do people act like they don't care? So many kids in our school pretend like they could care less about their grades and their homework. I've noticed that half of these kids end up getting on the honor role and simply saying " I don't see how that happened. I never even turned anything in." Do they think that it's cooler to not care about anything? When I think about this subject I can't help but get the image of one celebrity in mind, Jessica Simpson. On the show Newly Weds that she did with her former husband Nick Lachey she was constantly acting clueless and ditzy. She was always saying words in the text and saying things that had nothing to do with anything that was going on. She's famous for acting like a complete idiot. She goes around saying things like " so chicken of the sea is chicken right?" and " I don't want any buffalo wings, I'm against eating buffalos.", and she gets paid millions. Now, she may really just be that clueless but there is another person that comes to mind as well, Paris Hilton. On her show The Simple Life she runs around doing the most crazy things that people would never do in real life. During the whole show she just runs around like a crazy person getting in trouble and laughing about it. What confuses me is that she runs her own business. Then, 2 months after the 3rd season of her show, she did an interview with seventeen magazine where she said that she didn't understand why people don't take her seriously when she wants to talk about her business. I think that you shouldn't act dumb to try and get attention because later on nobody is going to take you seriously. Everyone will just assume that you are as dumb as you've been telling them you are.
