Ok, so on my agenda for this evening is Prom, alright, where to start.  Uh, dances are really a toss up for me i guess.  If you are to have a good time at a Formal dance in high school one needs to ask the right person.  If you end up going with someone you don't really like then a good time is impossible to have.  I always seem to go into dances with the idea that i am not going to have a good time.  I guess this is just who i am, but i am trying to go into Prom with an Optimistic point of view.  I am going with one of my best friends and i hope we are going to have a great time.  Which brings me to my criticism on the Whole Prom Deal... Ehem...

Asking?  Now asking a girl to prom is something that has gone down in the ages as a task that means a lot.  Today however i feel that asking a girl to Prom in a thoughtful and big way is expected, and if you don't, i'm sorry to say guys but you will get shut down.  It seems to me that girls today need to feel appreciated enough to get asked with plastic cups across the bridge on the way to school or a humongous creation of wood that says "PROM" with a bright light shining on it in front of her house.  The best one though i have heard is definately a blend of creativity, uniqueness and humor.  The guy made a trail of rose petals from the front door of the girls house to the bathroom and on the toilet there was a sign that said "If you're going to go, why not go with me?" Pure Genious.  Now i don't see why a guy just can't ask a girl "Hey, you want to go to prom with me."  Even if the guys know the answer they are still going to get nervous, trying to think of a cute and big way with butterflies in your stomach is a very difficult task.  I think it puts a lot of unneeded stress on the boys.  Now that it is expected to get asked in a big way girls do not appreciate the hard work and dedication as much, and i quote Ray Kurzweil in The Age of Spiritual Machines "Take death for example.
A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it.
We make extraordinary efforts to delay it and often consider
its intrusion a tragic event.
Yet we'd find it hard to live without it.
Death gives meaning to our lives. It
gives importance and value to time.
Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
If death were indefinitely put off, the human psyche would end
up, well, like the gambler in the 'Twilight Zone' episode."
Now this is much like asking a girl in a big way, now that it happens all of the time it becomes unnapreciated and much like time it is no longer important.

And i know a lot of guys who are expecting to "Get Some" on prom night.  They always ask me "Tony, Do you think i am going to get some."  You know what my answer is? Hell No!!! Not with an attitude like that you wont, and unless the girl you are going with is a slut, or is you're girlfriend and you are sexually active and there is something wrong there anyways. You're Freakin 17!!!! WTF  IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!  At first i thought they were joking so i played along, but they have asked me multiple times so i now understand that some guys are huge retarted horn balls.  But hey they are my friends and i'll be honest with them. 

I'm just going to go out and have a great time with some of my friends and have a great dance experience with one of my best friends...You're Awesome Amy!!!

I'll give you another blog in a few days when i find something else to complain to you people about...

Till then,

Tony
