If you want to get all the information you could possibly need, these are the questions to ask. Zayne Hijazi is apparently a YouTuber, and we’re told that this is what he says you should respond with if your significant other is accusing you of cheating on him or her.
This, of course, leads us to believe that Zayne thinks too much about how to respond when someone accuses him of cheating, which probably means that he spends too much time cheating on his significant other. But, on the other hand, these six questions are also a great way to frame any piece of art – why are the characters doing something, and how, and where, and when, etcetera. It’s the kind of information that any story needs to have.
We Don't Think He's Actually Sorry
Cesar Ochoa knows that he’s a popular guy around campus, and he’s willing to admit that some of the ladies of his high school probably got caught looking by their boyfriends. He put what appears to be a half-hearted apology under his picture in the senior yearbook, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it’s less half-hearted than no-hearted.
He was glad to have taken those gals away from their guys – surely he was the better choice? Whether you want to go with Lothario or Casanova, Cesar is on his way to becoming one of the famous lovers of the area. But perhaps one should let Cesar know that too much self-confidence can be a bad thing – if he’s struck down, it will make things really difficult for him to come back.
Writing His Quote in a Mirror
Well, at the very least, David Villis gave us a unique quote that we haven’t seen before – haven’t seen anything like it, in fact. Then again, just because something is new and unique doesn’t mean it’s good. All he did was put a few words in a bowl and shake them around until he got something fresh. That’s all.
There isn’t anything else to it, nothing else clever about it. He just sort of...flipped the sentence around. Maybe there’s something more there that we’re just missing, but it kinda seems like this guy hit his head really really hard on the corner of his microwave door and then decided he had a good idea for a senior yearbook quote. We don’t think it turned out the way he wanted.
We Don't Think That's in the Bible
Jaylen Moore has some very interesting theological ideas about what you need to do to get the things you want. We’ve checked, and we don’t think that this idea is present in the Good Book anywhere. Yes, obviously God forgives, but...the rest of it is a big knot of questionable theology.
Sure, there’s a chance that a new bike will land right in your lap, but there are lots of stores that sell them, too. There are some pricey ones, but most of them aren’t all that expensive. Like, what, a hundred bucks? That’s not nothing to a high school kid, but it’s not a whole lot of money. Also, a black kid making a joke about stealing a bike? Risky, but then again the best jokes all contain some risk.
It Can Be Better
Sure, your life might not be perfect. Maybe you’re stuck in class, or working a long shift at the sock factory, or trying to figure out what to do in college. But you can, at least, always imagine that you're on a boat. Get every single one of your senses engaged. That’s what Brian Essbe – and by extension, Garrett Hamrick – believe.
Maybe they’re trying to tell us that it’s never as bad as it feels. Maybe they’re trying to give us something to strive for. Maybe they’re just saying that they love being on boats. One way or another, we’re not sure how else to take that quote. It’s only just barely uplifting and has just a smidge of humor. Maybe Garrett just thought it was a lot funnier than we do.
