My Reflection Over the Blogs

Starting on the blogs was very new to me and actually starting in this class was the first time I even heard about a blog in my whole life. At first it was difficult for me since we couldn’t write about ourselves and what was happening because that’s all I did in my notebook entries that we had to write at first. After a while I got the hang of what to rite, but then my brain would be stumped on what topics to write about. I mostly wrote about ANYHTHING that came to my mind at any time. My blog never ever really had a specific thing that it talked about like some other peoples blogs did. Some things in the beginning that you could find in the beginning were like world issues and thing that were happening in the economy that affected us as Americans and basically moved on to me in a personal way of things I liked, but I never put it in there that it was about me. Some things that you could see that I mostly wrote about were music and the artist that produced it, ghost things, traveling, piercings, and things like that. Blogs were sometimes difficult for me and some days they weren’t, but when I typed them I always took a lot of time on them I would say the time that I spent on them were about 45 minutes. The difficult thing would be finding the time to type them and access to a computer. I have a computer at home but we have slow internet because I live in the boonies so it took FOREVER to load up a page and also dealing with a job where you work all the time is hard. Then when you get time to blog I’m stumped on what to write about. Blogging isn’t a bad thing and for some people they love it, but for my technique I don’t think this was the best thing for me. I really didn’t like blogging and it always was a pain for me and I actually liked it better where in the beginning we wrote in our notebooks because it was there for me. In my blogs you can tell which ones I had the most fun with and the ones that you could tell I had no idea what to write after I typed the next word.

Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor is a movie that came out and basically told the story about “Pearl Harbor”
The people in this are Josh Hartnett, Ben Affleck, and Kate Beckinsale. The movie starts out two pilots who are best friends are playing with each other as little boys and they get in trouble with one of the boy’s dad because they were playing in his airplane and they started it and they went and made it run. Then it flashes to the future to them in the navy. It starts in to the story of love nurses test out all the pilots when Ben Affleck sees Kate Beckinsale and falls in love with her instantly and basically makes a fool out of himself to get next to her. It ends up they are together and they all go to New York. It’s at New York where Ben Affleck tells her that he volunteered to go over to Europe for WW2. He leaves and then all the nurses and navy men go to Hawaii where they are stationed. It flashes over to Ben Affleck fighting in WW2 in a jet fighter where he is shot down. Back over in Hawaii Josh Hartnett “Danny” tells “Evelyn” Kate Beckinsale that “Rafe” Ben Affleck died. She of course is depressed, but then it shows Danny and Evelyn blooming in to a love as she lets go of Rafe after so long. It turns out after Rafe isn’t actually dead he comes home to find Danny and Evelyn in love and together which tears him a part. Then it goes in to a scene where Danny and Rafe get in to it at a little bar where all his friends are drinking well it gets in to a punching match and the cops show up so they hurry and scramble out of there together. The next day is when the bombing of Pearl Harbor begins which is sad. Danny and Rafe get in to a plane and shoot all the “japs” that they could down. After all this they were rewarded the silver star and promoted for captain for doing this. They then have to go on a top secret mission where they must train to go to Japan to bomb them back. While this happens Evelyn tells Rafe she is pregnant with Danny’s baby but Danny mustn’t know. They train for their mission and when it happens all the planes run out of gas where they land in “jap” territory. They are taken for hostage where they were going to kill Rafe until Danny went to be a hero and hit the Japenese and he was shot. Danny then as he is dieing learns he is going to be a father. They come back with Danny in a coffin where Evelyn is waiting. She then figures out he died. It goes to the ending where Rafe and she is together with a little boy, Danny’s boy. It was cute because the little boy is named Danny. This movie is so good and it shows a good story of love and what happened at Pearl Harbor.

Bent

If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk

If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot

I started out clean but I'm jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Start bending me
It's never enough
I feel all your pieces

Start bending me
Keep bending me until I'm completely broken in

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper was the name given to a serial killer who roamed the streets of London, England in 1888. He was famous for reeling in prostitutes and killing them by slitting their throats and removing their internal organs from their bodies. The killer was never identified which is why this is one of the most famous cases in history. These killings were known as “The Whitechapel Killings.”
Here are some of the known victims:
Mary Ann Nichols nicknamed Poly was discovered at 3:40 A.M. on the ground in front of a gated stable in Buck Row Street in a back alleyway. Her throat was slit twice and her abdomen was severed severely by stabbing wounds facing downward.
Annie Chapman nick named Dark Annie was found at 6 A.M. was found lying in the back yard of 29 Hanbury Street. Again like Mary her throat was cut twice and her abdomen exposed open with the removal of her uterus.
Elizabeth Stride nick named Long Liz was discovered at 1 A.M. lying on the ground in Dutfield’s yard off Berner Street. She was cut on the throat and only suffered from severe blood loss as they think the attacker was disturbed during this time.
Catherine Eddows was found the next day previous Elizabeth. Her throat was cut twice and her abdomen was exposed with a missing kidney and a major part of her uterus was missing.
Mary Jane Kelly nick named Ginger was discovered at 10:45 A.M. on her bed I her apartment. Her body mutilated as her throat was cut all the way down to her spine. All her internal organs were missing including her heart.
Other alleged victims that COULD HAVE been by the ripper are Emma Elizabeth Smith who survived the attack but later at the hospital slipped in to a coma and died, Martha Tabram suffered from 39 stab wounds and died, Rose Mylett who was strangled by a cord, Alice Mckenzie who suffered a cordial to the right artery, but her body showed bruises and cuts as if struggling, The Pinchin Street Torso who was found with the head and legs cut off, but this could have been the doings of another serial killer at the time called “Torso Killer,” last but not least Frances Cole suffered from a head injury from being thrown before her throat was cut.
Many clues lead back to Jack the Ripper but there never was a suspect. Now there are many movies you can watch that hit Hollywood about this famous serial killer. One thing is for sure this guy was pretty sick.

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe--- what are the things that pop in to your head when you think of this woman? I can tell you I think she was beautiful, young, rich, a hard worker, and definitely an intelligent young woman.
Marilyn Monroe was born June 1, 1926 and died August 5, 1962. Her real name was Norma Jeane Mortenson but she was baptized as Norma Jeane Baker. She grew up in Los Angeles, California and lived in a foster home with parents as her mother was unable to take care of her. Her father divorced her mother before Marilyn was even born and was never really around her father so instead of taking his last name Mortenson she changed it to her mother’s last name which was Baker. At 9 years old she was placed in a foster home and from then on was moved around a lot. She married at a very young age so she wouldn’t go back to living in foster homes. She divorced him in 1946 and continued to pursue her career.
She was living with her in laws as her husband was a merchant marine when they were looking for models. At this time Marilyn was a brunette so she dyed her hair blonde and they loved it. She was offered a six month contract starting out at $125 per week for fox century from being discovered for modeling. And thus she changed her name because she was reminded by the actress Marilyn Miller so she took her grandfather’s last name Monroe as her surname so it was Marilyn Monroe. She started out in small roles and was assigned to go to New York where she met her agent Johnny Hyde and stared in hit roles. Hyde bought her a 7 year contract with Fox Century just before dying in Dec. 1950.
Marilyn attended California University to study art and on the side doing small roles in films. She then started getting noticed a lot and from then on played in many movies and even posed for play boy.
In later years Marilyn suffered from a miscarriage. She was often late and showed extreme behavior after that especially in a film directed by Wilder. Even though the film was nominated for five academy awards and she won for best actress. She then later divorced her second husband in January 1961 and in Feb. she checked herself in to the psych ward for 3 weeks which this then put a slow down to her career. She did more movies and even got to sing happy birthday to JFK. Marilyn died on August 5 in her home in Brentwood, California of an overdose. But the cause of her death still lays in question.

The Power of Love

Is love an emotion or really something genetically programmed in our bodies to feel. One thing is for sure love can make you feel so powerful, but then again when were alone it’s something that is so hard to deal with. My question is why is this? Love is a very strong emotion, well just call it that. Let me put out a scenario for you.
When two lovers are dating and do everything together eventually stronger feelings start to overcome them. This is when I said love can make you feel powerful. When you have these feelings I believe it’s very essential to life. When the two lovers fall apart for anyone who has been there it is the hardest thing to overcome. You would think dying sounds so much better than going through a pain like that. I don’t understand why that is and I don’t care who says what, but I even believe scientist can’t even figure out why. Love is something I believe that is mysterious and works in so many ways that logic can’t even explain. Yes we can all say what part of the brain stimulates these emotions, but can we really get down to the core of this and explain why?
Love is something I believe the world cannot survive with out and I believe we can all say it’s an essential to life like water is to the body. We will all feel it sometime in one way or another and just like Gandhi or Mother Theresa has expressed that “We are put on this world to love and be loved in return.” If you really think about it why else are we living?
Every living thing on this earth has something they can all relate to and that’s the subject I’m talking about. Have you ever seen a dove with its mate? They say when one of two lovers die the other dove will die eventually from a heart break. Love is something so great, but at the same time it’s a quick poison. Everyone wants it and everyone will give it. It’s also scary in a sense that we can’t even control how it affects us. In life we can either resent it or we can embrace what it has in store for us. It makes the heart grow weaker but stronger at the same time. Love is a work of master piece.

Key West, Florida

If you have been to Key West I’m pretty sure you would agree with me that it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It’s so tropical and so small and historical that you really catch the vibe of the place. There are so many things to do down there from Jet Skiing in the Caribbean and Atlantic, Parasailing, scuba diving and snorkeling, ghost tours, shopping and so much more. Key West is approximately 7 miles wide and is away from the Peninsula of Florida. Key West has everything from Ernest Hemingway’s house to a naval air station, to Robert the Doll.
Key West is a major tourist attraction and has tons of people who come from all over the world to visit its beauty. Many of its bars and grills are featured on the travel channel and have some of the top ten beaches. Key West is sadly has the second highest rate for suicides which leads this little town to be haunted. You can find these places from what I mentioned earlier Robert the Doll, the old theatre, the morgue house, the old court house, and etc. They have ghost tours and I would recommend on going on one.
They also have many fun things to do in the water from water skiing and jet skiing in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea to parasailing. You can also scuba dive and go snorkeling in the reefs. They have many tropical fish and tons of museums on the island. Key West even has a yacht club and its own little airport for planes of course.
Believe it or not the island of the peninsula of Florida isn’t the last of the keys; it has many little islands called the Key Islands and has little special names for them.
Key West is also one of the wealthiest towns in America and is a place for people who retire. The bad part of it is it gets hit by lots of hurricanes that do come that way but the town is well prepared for it though. There are a lot of famous people who came from Key West to basketball players to baseball. Believe it or not Jimmy Buffet is also known to live there.
Key West is definitely amazing little island and I would recommend going there before you die or for any fun vacation where you want to just get away in paradise.

Part of the List

Style of your hair
shape of you eyes and your nose
the way you stare, as if you see right through to my soul
To your left hand and the way that its not quite as big as your right.
The way u stand in the mirror before we go out at night.
Our quiet time
your beautiful mind

There all part of the list
things that I miss
Things like your funny little laugh, or the way you smile, or the way we kiss
What I notice is this
I come up with
something new every single time, that I sit and reminisce

The way your sweet smell, lingers when you leave a room.
Stories you tell, as we lay in bed, all afternoon
I dreamed you now every night, in my mind is where we meet
and when Im awake, staring at pictures of you asleep
touching your face
invading your space.

There all part of the list
things that I miss
Things like your funny little laugh, or the way you smile, or the way we kiss
What I notice is this
I come up with
something new every single time, that I sit and reminisce.

And you live in my memories for evermore, I swear (x2)

There all part of the list
things that I miss
Things like your funny little laugh, or the way you smile, or the way we kiss
What I notice is this
I come up with
something new every single time, that I sit and reminisce.

Aye hey hey
Woah woah woah

I think we can all agree that we all in our life time will have that someone who we always let get away and will miss. My thing to you is do we all do this? If you have someone special in your life don’t let it pass by. Neyo real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith but we all call him by his stage name. He was born October 18, 1979 in Camden, Arkansas. He’s half american and half chinese. He has recorded albums like “In My Own Words” which have hit singles like “So Sick” “When You’re Mad” and “Sexy Love.” His other album “Because of You” was released May 1 of 2007. His third and most recent album is “Year of the Gentlemen.” Neyo I know has plenty more to come and in a matter of four years has become one of the most successful artist of all time.

Islands of Adventure

Islands of Adventures opened in 2000 in Orlando, Florida. It is a theme park with many different roller coaster rides and attractions. It has 5 different "worlds" if you want to call it that in the park, "worlds" like: Seuss Landing, which has the theme of Dr. Seuss; The Lost Continent, which has a fairy tale theme of dragons, unicorns, and Poseidon; The Marvel Super Hero Island, which has Spiderman, x-men, Dr. Doom; Toon Lagoon, which features Popeye, Betty Boop, and etc. and last but not least is Jurassic Park, which of course is about dinosaurs.

Marvel Super Hero Island has rides like: The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman where it’s a 3D virtual roller coaster and you go in and battle all the bad guys. Doctor Doom’s Fearfall is where you will go 150 ft up in the air and drop. Storm Force Acceleration is where basically you’re in a tea cup thing and will spin around pretty fast. The last is the most amazing roller coaster of all time called The Incredible Hulk Coaster. This amazing roller coaster goes from 0 to 40 in 2 seconds with many turns and spins.

Toon Lagoon has fun rides too. Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls is a fun water ride where YOU WILL GET SOAKED! Then there is Popeye and Bluto’s Bilge Rat Barges where you are going to get soaked then too :)

Jurassic Park River Adventure is a water ride and at the end you do a big drop before getting ate by a T-rex. Then we have Pteranodon Flyers where you go around flying in a hanger.

The Lost Continent has Poseidon’s Fury which is a little show that has much action through it and is definitely is something you need to see. The Flying Unicorn is a little miniature roller coaster that was made for little kids so they could go on them which is fun too if you ask me. Then they have another roller coaster called Dueling Dragons, this is a roller coaster between either choosing ice or fire with the dragons and basically its two roller coasters all in one.

Dr. Seuss Landing has The Cat in the Hat this ride is fun for all ages, but mainly this little section is made for littler ones.

I would definitely recommend going to this park it’s so fun and it never leaves anyone unsatisfied or leaving unhappy.

Robert the Doll

I will tell you a little bit about Robert the Doll. He is a 3 ft doll from head to toe and was given life like features and was also said to be a voo doo doll. He was given as a gift to Gene from his Jamaican nurse, now usually every kid has an imagination with everything and has an imaginary play mate. Gene’s parents usually heard him talking to Robert, but the weird thing is there was a voice that would answer back that wouldn’t be Gene’s voice. Mishaps started to happen and Gene’s answer would be “Robert did it.” Usually when the Otto’s were out of the house neighbors said they could see Robert run from window to window in the house and they said they could often hear Robert talk and giggle. At night Gene started to scream out in the night and when his parents would run to his room his furniture would be turned over and at the foot of Gene’s bed there would be Robert sitting there glaring. Eventually Gene’s parents put Robert up in the attic.
When Robert’s parents died they gave the house to Gene. Now all grown up Gene and his wife moved in to his childhood home. He was now an artist and felt him and his wife needed a more spacious house. It wasn’t long till Gene found Robert up in the attic and moved him down to the turret room. Gene’s wife did not like Robert one bit and felt an evil presence to the doll. One day when Gene was out of the house his wife moved Robert back up to the attic, when Gene came home to find Robert misplaced he got mad and said Robert needed a room to himself and moved Robert back to the turret room. The people of Key West always hated walking by the Otto home. Gene finally got tired of Robert’s antics and moved him back to the attic. Guest often heard things in the attic move around and hears giggling and all together stopped visiting. Gene died in 1972 and his wife sold the house leaving Robert in the attic. The rumors died down in Key West and a new family moved in. A little girl who was ten found Robert in the attic and added him to her toy collection. It wasn’t long before she started screaming in the night. They then donated him to the East Martello museum where you can now find Robert the Doll. People have had bad experiences with him there too. You never want to make fun of Robert, because things start to happen to you that are not good. You are always suppose to ask Robert to take his picture, and if your picture turns out black he didn’t want you to take his picture. Robert is a real thing and if you don’t believe me why don’t you visit him in Key Wet, Florida.

Savannah, Georgia

Just these past weeks I came home from South Carolina. But on my trip there I was on the border of Georgia and got to go to Savannah, Georgia, which is one of the oldest cities in the United States. The city is awesome and set out in 26 squares. The oldest street there is River Street and it has many little shops and places to eat. Savannah has many of their old historical houses up and it’s really neat. They say it is also one of the most haunted cities in the U.S. and everywhere you step whether that be on the sidewalk street or on top of a floor board in a house people are buried under you. Savannah is also known for the introduction of voo doo in the U.S. back in the 18th century people brought slaves over from Africa and hence then they brought voo doo with them. Voo doo can be good and bad, when you look at all the older houses in Savannah you will see blue shutters. This is said to protect the people and house from evil spirits entering. The first people in to ever be in Savannah were Indians. They were about 7 to 8 feet tall and then here come settlers from England whose average height was about 5’8 except the leader who befriended the chief of the Indians and who helped him lay out and build Savannah. In one of the squares you will see a huge rock in the middle of it, the rock was dedicated to the chief and underneath he lays resting. In that same squares they use to have the gallows there and no moss grows there and if you look everywhere else moss is everywhere. The story is that someone was hung there and they were innocent well what happened is they cursed that place. From then on moss has never grew there even if the wind blows hard the moss will not come on that square but every other square has moss. Then there is the Pirate’s House, which is the coolest place ever. Pirates from the early time all lived there and in Savannah you can find tunnels all over the city from the pirates bootlegging alcohol, because back then the only alcohol they could drink was wine and beer. So the pirates would sneek in hard liquor, especially rum. Now the pirate’s house is suppose to be the most haunted place in Savannah and was actually featured on Ghost Hunters. I would advise going there it is fun and especially if you’re a history person Savannah would be your place to go.

Breaking Dawn

I just got done reading the fourth book in the Twilight series called Breaking Dawn. It was really good and exciting to read and I must say the best book I have read by far out of the whole series.
In the beginning of the book Bella and Edward get married and go off to an island that Carlisle bought for Esme and spend their honeymoon there. Well from there Bella and Edward consummate their marriage which leads to an uh o baby. From this baby Bella gets very sick because the baby is half vampire so therefore it’s basically going to kill her from feeding off her body. And just like that the honeymoon was over and they call Carlisle and come home.
Then the book switches over to Jacob Black’s point of view in the book. They hear about Bella and that she was going to produce a monstrous baby. So the pack came up with the idea that they had to kill the Cullens including Bella. Well by this Jacob didn’t want to do it for Bella’s sake. So he left the pack for good and Sam was not to happy about this. From there on Jacob went to warn the Cullens about their plan to attack them. He saw Bella and how sick and fragile she was, even though she wouldn’t let them take the baby out of her. From there on Jacob kept the look out for the pack to find that Leah and her little brother joined Jacob to protect Bella. During this time Bella is dying so the Cullens try to find a way to help her. They find that by her drinking blood that the baby seems to respond to that and take that away from her instead. Bella finally has her baby and when this happens Jacob instantly imprints on Renesmee.
The book then switches back to Bella’s point of view and she is finally a vampire and is exploring her views. A girl from the Volturi come to visit the Cullens and see Renesmee well she reports this back to the Volturi and they think they made a little child this way which is against the rules. From this they want to destroy the child and the Cullens. The Cullens then ban together to get as many vampires to stick up for them. When the Volturi finds out it was all a misunderstanding they kill the girl who reports this. And let the Cullens be in peace. This book is really outstanding and I would recommend you to read this.

A Haunting In Connecticut

The movie "A Haunting in Connecticut" is a scary movie and actually based on a true story and real events. The beginning of the story starts out with scary pictures that were placed in the 50’s and then it’ll flash back to something scary. So then right from the beginning you knew it had to do with scissors and being cut. Then it goes right in to a woman talking about why she didn’t know why those things happened to her when they moved in to the house.
Her son has cancer and they lived so far from the hospitals which he had to go there weekly to do treatments on him. The treatments make him really sick and driving back from the hospital was always a pain. So then they found a house that wasn’t far from the hospital. Instantly from the first night staying in the house Adam, the boy, had experiences and dreams about a little bit of what happened. After this they bought the house and moved their whole family in to the house. As days progressed on more and more things started happening. Adam wouldn’t tell anything that was happening because they said the treatment made him see things and they didn’t want Adam to get put away. The flashbacks that he would have would be people sitting around a table as if to conduct a ceremony and then it’ll flash back to a guy cutting bodies and their eyelids off.
While the mom and dad snooped around they found out their house use to a funeral home. One day in the movie the kids were playing hid and seek well we know how that turned out some kids saw something and the little girl hid upstairs and fell through the floor. When everyone came up there to pull her out the found photos and a box inside the box was another little box with weird things in them. From then on they went and tried to find research out about the house. They learned there was a boy that lived there in the funeral home with the older man who owned it. He was a medium and always performed a ceremony for families whose loved ones passed away. But some bad things happened and they let something bad out. They also found out that in the cemetery a lot of bodies went missing. When Adam went in for a treatment he meant a revenuer who told him the reason why they can see the dead is because they are closer to death and unhealthy. At the end of the stories he finds out the bodies that were stolen were cursed to be awake forever because the small things in the box were eyelids and w/ out their eyelids they see forever. So Adam had to burn the house down to make them go to sleep.

Chris Brown and Rihanna Case

America’s biggest sweetheart and rising star attacked??? The shocker is by her boyfriend, who captured America’s teen’s hearts, Chris Brown. Rihanna is born in Barbados and started in the music industry in 2005 signing on with Def Jam Records and under the protection of music producer and recorder, Jay-Z. Her first album to be recorded is “Music of the Sun.” And she is the first Barbadian woman to ever receive a Grammy Award. Following her album “A Girl like Me” in 2006, “A Good Girl Gone Bad” in 2007-2009, and now she is working on her fourth album “Dark Angels” which will be introduced sometime in 2009. There’s no doubt Rihanna is the next big star.
Chris Brown captures a lot of the teen’s hearts in America. He started out getting recognized only at age 16 (now 19) and he left school to start with his music. His first album was released in 2005 with the hits like “Run it!” and “Excuse me Miss.” And in 2008 released another album.

The scary thing is we would have never pictured it to be like this. Just hours before the Grammy Awards the police got a call from a woman on alleged assault against her. When they got there they were shocked to find out it was the talented singer, Rihanna. She said her boyfriend, Chris Brown, and her got into a major fight which led to a brawl and when she called he left. There are a few reasons to why this happened, one was to be linked that he was mad because she gave him a STD and the other was because Chris was having an affair. Whatever it was it caused a lot of controversy considering Chris once sat down with Tyra Banks and confessed that he would never lay a hand on a girl because his mother was a victim of abuse. Doublemint gum dropped his commercial just right after the allegations of the assault and his record label thought about it. Chris and Rihanna split apart for a while but now they are said to be back together and living in P Diddy’s house right now. A lot of people supported Rihanna and told her not to go back to him and also they said that it would ruin her image. For now they are on the down low til Chris Brown’s court date. For now we’ll just have to see what happens.

Gay Marriage in Iowa?

Some people are for gay marriage and some just can’t plain out stand gay marriage. My outlook on this is what is really the big deal about all this? They say some people are just born to love the same sex. I say as long as you’re happy then what really is the huge deal about it? I try to look at it from their side and see that why is it ok for people to be in love with the opposite sex and get married, but not their own sex. Yes it says in the bible that gay marriage is not accepted, but then again God plans everything for a reason. So if that’s the case why do people like the same sex? Recently as of April 24, 2009 gay marriage was allowed in the state of Iowa. The ban first happened in 1998 when Hawaii first came up with this “issue”. On April 3, 2009 the issue came up again in Iowa over a ruling and it was finally Ok’d on April 24. Same sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts, Iowa, and Connecticut. A lot of people are already trying to change this happening for Iowa for a lot are not happy with it. Which I still don’t understand what the big problem is? When scientist went to study this subject they used twins. It was hard thought because twins only share 50% of their genes.

What is Life Like After High School?

Most high schoolers are scared of what happens after college? Most things that run threw their minds are Will I be Successful, What's going to happen to me, What do I want to do with my life, will I ever get a job or career started, and etc.? Most people are really scared to grow up and for instance I am one of them. Life is scary when you never know what is going to happen or where it is going to take you. The feeling of a senior about to graduate and have a good summer is so exciting. All the high school home work is done and all the filling out scholarships and hoping to get in to a college is so exhausting that you just want it to be all over. But what happens when it gets closer to you going to college. What will happen... we see people fail and some succeed... but which category will you be in? Most kids also move out from their homes and want to live on their own. Most have to take on the responsibility of having to have a full time job and taking college classes. Lets also face it you cannot get any good income with out a degree now a days and time is only getting harder. It seems like kids are being forced in to college or they wont have a promising future. And don’t get me on the “I don’t have any money” issue. That’s one thing that makes me so angry there are tons of ways to get money from federal aid to grants to scholarships. Most of the time the government will pay for you if you have absolutely nothing! I believe all kids should go to college, especially if you have that opportunity too. Most kids don’t have that opportunity in 3rd world countries to go to college or even that but school. Most kids would love that chance to do it and people over here in America take everything for granted. Kids skip out in school and just plain out don’t put effort in to it. That’s why living life and going to college is so important not only to better your lives, but think about us as a whole in a nation. The more people we have the more people can help each other and make their lives easy. Go to college and don’t be scared for everyone goes through it and it always turns out good if you allow it.

VH1's Love Shows

With all the VH1's shows with Rock of Love Bus Tour, For the Love of Ray-J, I Love New York, Flavor of Love, and so so so so much more shows it honestly is impossible to find love on a show. I don't think I have not seen one of those shows not have a sequel, because it is impossible to find love on a show. I have to admit though all the drama that goes on with the shows is hilarious. The thing on all of these is to find love at your own pace and what seriously is the rush. I wouldn't want to expose myself in that type of manner, because it just won’t happen. When you have go on those shows you first have a timed date on to get to know everyone which love takes time if it's true. Second its television how do you not know if people are there for the publicity or if they're true. I’ll go through and explain all of these shows Rock of Love Bus Tour is about Bret Michaels the rocker from Poison who has 15 different rocker chicks and they travel like on a tour but at the same time they are all trying to find love. For The Love of Ray-J is about a famous singer, song writer, and actor trying to find love. This takes place at his house though and trust me there’s a whole lot of drama. I Love New York is a crazy black woman named Tiffany. She actually started out on Flavor of Love with Flavor Flav’s show. She was so dramatic and in the end got eliminated after being brought back after the first elimination. And now you can only guess what The Flavor of Love is and it’s this crazy guy who wears a clock around his neck and was trying to find a woman to love. The catch with these shows is there has been so many series of them, because you CANNOT find love on a show. So that’s why for me personally I think these shows are so funny and for entertainment. Now if this was the bachelor I could understand, because at least that is real except for this last season where Jason picked Melissa and then found out he really didn’t like her and ended up dumping her and going for the other girl. So reality shows fake or fact?

Twilight Book Series

you might have already heard about the big movie that came out about the movie Twilight which is the first book out of the series. There are currently four books Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. There are roomers around that there will be more and hopefully that is true.

Twilight- The first book is about a girl named Bella who moves from Arizona living with her mom to a little town in Washington where it always rains called Forks. There Bella gets along with all her new class mates and is the talk of the town. she meets Edward there. Edward is different- he doesn't like the sun, his eyes change color, and he never eats food. Bella becomes fascinated with him when she was almost squashed by a van and out of no where Edward comes and stops it. As she does research and tries to figure Edward out she finds out he is a vampire. The story then goes in to a lot of details and they fall in love with each other and have to battle James (another vampire) and his covenant. In thee end Edward wins.

New Moon- This book is about Bella and her struggle with out Edward. In the beginning of the book Edward portrays to Bella that he doesn't love her anymore and is moving away with his family to start yet again another life. He does this to protect her from any harm because it is dangerous having a human be around a vampire. Bella goes in to a deep state of depression when he leaves. Through the whole book she starts becoming closer with Jacob Black her best friend that is from the Quilete Tribe. Jacob starts acting funny around Bella and later we find out he's a wolf. Later in the book Bella goes cliff diving which nearly kills her. Alice, Edward's sister, sees Bella doing this and thought she died. Edward then decided to go to the Volturi to kill himself. Alice and Bella leave for Italy to save Edward which they do. The Volturi of course didn't lie the fact that Bella was a human and knew everything about vampires so they gave her an amount of time to turn in to a vampire or they would kill her.

Eclipse- This book is about Edward being home and Bella and his last year of high school. Through out the book we have to deal with Bella trying to be a vampire already. What happens is Victoria Jame's lover who is also a vampire trys to get an army of newborns to kill Edward's family and Bella since they killed James.

Breaking Dawn- Bella and Edward finally get married. They go on their honeymoon and there Bella gets pregnant. They have a baby and she is half human half Vampire. Bella finally gets turned in to a vampire and has stuff to overcome. We find out that Jacob isn't really a wolf but what is called a shift shaper.

The Octamom

Recently there’s a woman who had eight babies all at the SAME time. Can you say OW! Lately the media has been very mad at her, because it all seems like a happy family. What we all didn’t know was she is a single mom with previously 6 kids ALL under the age of 10 now adding the octuplets. Nadya Suleman is the proud mother’s name, but the thing is why is it anyone else business what she does. Right now with how the economy is going yes it’s very irresponsible. Nadya was an only child when she was younger and always dreamed about having a bigger family. Nadya got married at a young age and expecting to start her big family she always wanted. Nadya found only out then she was reproductively challenged and only on sex alone she couldn’t produce and embryo. She said for years she tried to find every possible thing around. Her husband and she got a divorce knowing she didn’t want a husband just kids. Nadya found out the only way she could have kids was in vitro fertilization. The only thing is that can be very expensive so to save up money Nadya worked as a nurse in the psych ward. During this working something happened, a riot broke out and Nadya was going to help and she was flipped over the table which caused back problems which led to her not working. When she was not working she received disability money and by that time Nadya had enough money saved up to start her process. She went and was successful with her pregnancy having a boy, a boy, a girl, a boy and a set of twins all in a short amount of time. The person who gave her the sperm was her previous husband because she didn’t want to go to the sperm bank. She before made sure he couldn’t have any say in anything the kids did. Nadya has only a short amount of time before she can’t do in vitro anymore. She had eggs left over so she decided to use all of them and the ones that didn’t make it were ok and she was done. Well she got a lot out of it then she bargained for. She now has eight babies which was a dangerous process and could have come with many complications. All the babies are around 2 to 3 lbs. and face many problems that could happen now or in the future one of those problems could be cerebral palsy. She already has a kid with autism that she previously had named Elijah and two that have slow speech or delayed speech. She receives money from all for disability but the two will stop at some time. Nadya right now has no income coming in and faces difficulties. Her mother takes care of the 6 kids right now. The question is the media is picking on her so much and why? It wouldn’t be different for someone with that big of family that had a dad. It’s just another thing the world decides to prey on.

My Blog Again

My blog has kind of changed in a way that I look more on the views of women and the past. Things going on with the world people are choosing to pick on a certain sex which is women, and this makes me angry considering I’m a girl. History is another thing that always fascinates me. You can always get a lot out of history and it always never fails with facts and can go on and on with a lot of things. History is so mysterious and I think that’s another thing that draws people in. The thing about with women is there’s a lot of history with women in it to. I think the problem with our blog assignments is we’re so limited to what we can type in a way. Meaning it takes a lot longer to write something because of research that we have to look up. Some people don’t have that time for instance I’m going to write something write now that we’re not suppose to meaning me. I can’t always get to a computer because at home two of my computers broke down and the one that I am using right now is slow and not up-to-date. Another problem is I work literally every single night so that’s hard to do and keep up with my blogs because you have to research it and it takes forever especially when your time is limited. But if you were to ask me a lot of my blogs talk about women and history, but don’t get me wrong my blog is still very random and talks about basically anything that comes to my mind. I think it’s good what my blogs talk about. It talks about the current news today and in a way gives a voice to what ever the view it is. My blog would basically give the information about the topics and in a way express a different voice that would be me, but I don’t use I or me so in a way it’s disguising. Mu hahaahahaha so yah if you wanted to know you can read this and it basically gives you an in look to what you want to know. So if you like history and views on critical issues this would be your blog to read. I warn you keep an open mind when you read this, because in a way its opinion slash facts and it might offend someone if you don’t have the same views.

Tattoos & Piercings

Tattoos are an awesome thing and such a work of art. People always wonder why others get tattoos and piercings, it's just a way to express oneself or make someone who they are. There are all sorts of tattoos and different varieties of piercings to get.

Piercings

In ancient times it is said that people pierced their ears to ward off evil spirits. There have been records dating back to the Egyptians times with ear piercings. During the 1920’s – 1960’s in North America, Australia, and Europe it was rare. Eventually it started spreading but it was in the gays, punk, and hippies.

Tongue- This piercing started with the Aztec and Mayan civilization. This was done to honor the gods and this was also a part of their offerings. The tongue is one of the fastest healing body parts. It’s often pierced with a straight barbell for comfort.

Lips- This started with in the Pre-Columbian culture in South America. It’s now mostly practiced in African Tribes.

Ears- This piercing dates back to the Ancient Persian time. During the early 1920's it became popular then fell and clip on earrings became the new favor. With this only sailors that traveled around the world got their left ear pierced. In the 1970's ear piercing became popular among teenage girls who actually held piercing parties.

Nose- The nose is one of the most common things to be pierced right after the ear. Nose piercing started in India; it supposedly was to make childbirth easier. For this spot to be pierced was also a mark of beauty and social standing, it was also an honor to Hindu’s Parvathi, the goddess of marriage.

Belly Button- This first hit the culture when model, Christy Turlington, showed this piercing at a fashion show in London. From then on celebrities like Britney Spears and Alicia Silverstone got one and it was a huge outbreak of getting the belly button pierced.

Tattoos

History- Tattooing has been a practice since the Neolithic Times. Otzi the iceman daring back to the fourth or fifth BCE was found with dots on his back and ankles. Ancient mummies have been found with tattoos on their bodies.

Why- Some cultures gets tattoos for believes or for their spiritual beliefs. Some people get it for their magical beliefs. During the holocaust Jews got tattoos on their wrist for identification purposes. Between the Mauri and Europeans they used it just incase they found a body they could identify who it was. They are used for fashion now more a days. Tattoos are also used for medicated purposes too.

VH1's the Tool Academy

This show is about men who think they are all that and can get any girl they want and treat any girl they want..... but get this they have girlfriends. The men think they are going to a show where they can party and meet as many girls as they want. What they don't know is it's all a scam. This show is about men that are players and their women who want them to change and be there for them. While the men are there they don't know their girlfriends are there waiting for them. This show is about these men and women trying to change their relationships for the better. They have to all open up, stop the cheating, stop the controlling, and basically stop everything that has gone wrong with their relationship. They have challenges everyday that they go through with their girlfriends to see how much they can work together and be compatible to find who they really need to be to make their relationships work. At the end of the show the couple who is the last one standing will not only be a stronger couple, but they will also win money. Of course this show though is not for the money it's to teach couples how to open up and be honest with someone. It's about change and change for the better. This will not only better their relationships with the girlfriends, they will better their relationships with their friends and family. Some of the things that go on in this series of shows are outstanding. Its funny some men think they are cute and they think they can do what ever they think they want to and treat their girlfriends anyway that they would like to. This show has fights, crying, and lots of entertaining drama. I would recommend watching this reality TV show. It’s definitely different from a lot of the VH1 shows that you normally see. By watching this show it also educates you in a way that you know how to work on a relationship if it’s going bad in your life. It also teaches what signs to look out for when you see a guy to find out if they’re a player or for real. There are a lot of turns and shocking secrets that you find out from the men in this show that make you want to keep watching it. VH1’s Tool Academy is definitely a good show and hopefully after this season they will have another one. It’s definitely entertaining to watch!

Love, Friendship..... Backstabbers

Why do people do the things they do? What really hurts the most is when you think someone is your friend and they go and say things behind your back. Is it jealousy, insecurity, or plain up just nasty and cruel? All of those things are what it is. People that can’t come up and say it to your face are cowards. If you have nothing nice to say just don’t say it at all. Another thing, people who attack other people for their race, religion, JOB, or etc. does that make them feel good by hurting others? What is also funny is when people try to drag other people in to the digression…. Is it because they know they are in the wrong and they need someone else there to tell them it is ok for them to do that to someone. People who do these things are wrong and way too immature. When these things happen it just shows who the true people are and who the fake are. People who tend to do this have insecurities in their life or have something going wrong so in tend to have them feel better they need to drag others down with them. What is also funny is when you talk to the person and you think that everything is settled and come to find out you hear more things behind your back. My question is how does it go till it’s too far? Things can get so out of hand that it can go as far as harassment, which is a really bad way to go. Insecure people tend to be hurt sometime in life. They tend to lack self confidence and have a lot of emotions. They are touchy about situations and offended easily. They usually ask for a second opinion on everything and are scared to do things because of what other people may think of them. Jealousy has to do with insecurity, but they resolve in negative thoughts about someone or something. People who have a jealousy tend to have a lot of anger, sadness, hatred, and etc. in them. This is experienced in every culture. Why people feel jealousy is that it leads back to insecurity. My thing is people say they are not jealous or insecure, well then what is it? People who do it out of amusement are cruel. No matter how many times they aren’t insecure, it is like that. People need to be comfortable with themselves before they can make other people happy.

Unborn

This is one of these most scariest movies I have ever seen. The Unborn is about this girl Casey who is in college, has good friends, and a boyfriend. Her mother died and she lives with her father. Casey keeps having these dreams. She dreams of her jogging or in some place and she sees this little glove following the glove she sees this dog with an upside down head with a mask on! The dog disappear into the woods, she then follows the dog and finds the mask laying in the leaves. She goes to pick up the mask to find a fetus under it and she wakes up. The movie then shows how normal her life is. Later that night she babysits for her neighbors when she hears the little boy she's babysitting talk to the baby over the baby monitor. She goes up to investigate and he says something like "Gumby wants to be born now." and he hits her in the head with the mirror which hits her eye. The next day as it progresses on her best friend notices her eye is half blue and half brown. Later that day she goes to the eye doctor which then explains that sometimes when they have that fuction with their eye is means she has a twin. Casey talks to her dad who then confesses she had a twin who died in the womb because her imbiblical choked him. This is why her mom went crazy and was admitted in to the hospital and died there. As all this is unraveling she stills keeps having dreams, but now in the dreams there's a little boy in it, Gumby, her unborn twin. Casey goes to this woman who thinks could help. The woman tells her that this is really dangerous and what is haunting her is called a debook. The Debook will try to isolate you to kill you and anyone who tries to help her will die. The debook will travel from person to person til it kills the person it wants. Later in the movie she contacts a Rabi who she wants to conduct an exorcism on her and it goes from there. The movie is a good movie if you like to get scared and freaked out. It's not no nominee award but it's good!

America's Discrimination?

~The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart~ Hellen Keller

CELULITE SALLY is one thing people don't want to be labeled as. If you notice women these days ARE pressured more into looking a certain way then men are. Women have to be looking pretty, hair all nice, there bodies toned, skinny, have to have the fashion, and basically look like a million dollars. If women don't look a certain way then they are basically called ugly or trash. My question is why does scociety put so much pressure on women.

Jessica Simpson right now is taking the heat for putting on a few pounds. CNN, Entertainment, and etc. have been bashing her with her image now and what she looks like from the old Jessica. Scociety is so funny the economy is going down wayyyyyyy fast and people are losing so many jobs, but yet again people are worrying about her weight? This was a comment made by a person who put their input about Jessica's Simpsons weight "Those of you who think she looks healthy are idiots. She's fat and you tellling everyone to leave her alone and that she's beautiful are ruining this society. Thirty years ago people were thin and healthy because they were active and they ate vegitables. Look at people in other countries, they would say Jessica is fat. FYI--she's at an effing chilli cookoff! What? Did she snork down all the chili." This comment just shocks me. So by being "fat" (obviously this person doesn't know what fat is) it ruins our scociety? Come on get real....

This stress on women also puts things into little girl's minds. I've heard of girls who cry all the time because they want to fit in in any way they can. Most people not only change their looks but also change how they act. Scociety has put so much pressure on how woman should look and act. These things affect little girls and let alone women in general. If you really look at it it's like being sexist. In the news you will once in a blue moon here about celebrity men being "fat", but let me tell you when a celebrity women is seen looking a little overweight it's front page news.

Scociety definately looks at women more than men. I wish and hope that things will turn around for women. Looking at things now though I don't think it'll ever change.

Seven Pounds

The movie Seven Pounds was a terrific movie! The movie is a really dramatic and intense. You have to pay attention to the movie though or you will get lost... Will Smith plays the leading role in the movie. The plot of the story is you start out seeing a man in the movie. He's really distrote and on the verge of committing suicide. Anyways Will Smith, whose name is Ben Thomas in the movie, life is really hectic. He is obsessed with 7 people who died in a car crash well the car crash was because of him. Through out the movie he has flash backs up to that night where it happened and a girl, his fiancée. Through the movie he helps out people who have been neglected or who have health conditions. One of the people who have the health condition is a girl with a heart problem. Her heart gives out a lot and she is type 2 for the hospital meaning that she always goes to the hospital, but can leave when feeling better. It also means she's not bad enough to have a heart transplant. One day her heart gives out and she's taken to the hospital only to find out she now needs a heart transplant and she is now on a waiting list for it. The only problem with that is she now has 6 weeks maximum to live and she has a rare blood type so she has 6% chance to get a donor. Will Smith throughout the movie befriends and falls in love with her. Also through out the movie he's an IRS agent and he visits people with problems. Mostly to the end when he makes the call to the police saying he's going to commit suicide it flash backs to the crash. He and his fiancé were in a car driving and a van was coming the other way. Will Smith was districted by his phone and swerved in to the other lane and collided with the van. Everyone except him dies. He felt guilty so he killed himself. But with that he donated his heart to the woman he loved and she lived. He also donated other body parts to the people he met through out the movie. This is a very good and touching movie. It got a lot of great reviews and I definitely think Will Smith is one of thee best and talented actors alive.

Men vs. Women

MEN and women are way different from each other. You can read many books about this, for example, one book is called, “Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars.” You can also tell men are different from women with out reading this book just by well how we act. Men and women NEVER think the same things. Here are some things men and women do differently….. Ok a lot of things. Do you notice how men have like 8 or less things in a bathroom where as women have like over 300 things. Men really don’t give a crap where as women like to pamper themselves and make themselves look beautiful. When women are fighting, I’m sorry ladies but we ALWAYS have to have the last word in there. When a guy puts the last word in it’s just a new argument to fight about. Women call their friends by their names, men however always have a nickname for their friends and they’re outrageous ones. ALL women worry about this, getting married and having kids. I’m sorry ladies but this kind of stuff scares men! They hate thinking about these things; they like to not worry about these things meaning the future till they get a wife. Men think they need to be successful by making more than his wife and women like to find men that do! Haha GOLD DIGGERS! When a man marries a woman he expects she won’t change which they do and women thee exact opposite when they marry a man they expect they will change but they don’t. EVERY SINGLE woman does this; they will dress up for everything, even if it’s to go to the store for 5 minutes. Men could care less how they look. This one is funny men will go to bed and wake up the same well women are a different story. Women are prepared for everything; Men go with the flow. Women DO mature faster then men. We are done with puberty by the age of 17 where as men are done by early 20s. I’m sorry but it’s a fact. Women have garages to put their cars in there; Men you use garages to put EVERYTHING in it. Men hate asking for anything and are stubborn for example. If a female was driving and lost they will pull over to ask directions. Males however will drive around in circles instead of stopping to ask for directions… seriously, come on! Same as this, Women will admit to making mistakes and say sorry men…. Haha hate to admit they were wrong! Laundry a man will wait to do laundry till they’re out of clothes; Women do it every two days. As you can see women and men…. Yes VERY different. Which is why were always bumping heads. But you know what they say can’t live with them and you cant live with out them.

Bride Wars

The movie Bride Wars was definitely cute! There’s no way it will end up with a nominee, but definitely a cute movie with a good moral. The movie is about two best friends that have been friends since they were little girls. They do everything together and dress like one another. When they were little girls they had a reunion at the Plaza, which in the movie is this extravagant place, and they see a wedding there. Well from then on from seeing the wedding they always dreamed of getting married at the Plaza. Then the movie fast forwards to present day where they’re all grown up and living their lives. The actors in it are Kate Hudson who is a lawyer and Anne Hathaway who is a teacher. Kate Hudson’s character come off really strong, bossy, and goes exactly for what she wants. Anne Hathaway is more of the push over, kind, and caring friend. Well just like you could have predicted in the movie the two best friends get engaged at the same time. Therefore they go to the best wedding coordinator in the city. They of course plan there weddings at the Plaza in the month of June, but different dates. There were only three dates in the month of June for a wedding there were two for June 6 and one for June 27. Well Kate Hudson took the 6th and Anne Hathaway’s character took the 27th. Well of course there’s always a problem to the movie and the wedding coordinator accidentally planned the dates for June 6th for both of them. They couldn’t switch dates either because another bride already took the 27th. So, in the movie basically the friends turn against each other because one of them didn’t change their wedding date. It’s a really funny and cute story. At the end the friends make up and realize a good moral. The moral is sometimes there are stronger bonds in the world. As a bond first happens it grows more and more everyday. And sometimes that bond is hard to break even when things hit the fan. I would recommend seeing Bride Wars with a best friend or someone special, because it’s very cute and a chick flick movie. The movie overall I thought Anne and Kate did a really great job and really shows the importance of how women find things really important.

Walk Away

What do you do when you know something's bad for you
And you still can't let go?

I was na�ve
Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet
I was deceived by the wrapping

Got caught in your web
And I learned how to plead
I was prey in your bed
And devoured completely

And it hurts my soul
Cos I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cos I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from

I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

I should have known
I was used for amusement
Couldn't see through the smog
It was all an illusion

Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds)
Woke up in love and seems so great (deeper, deeper)
We both can't subdue
Darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner)

I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your lure
and I'm feeling for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need...

I can make it
It's some state I'm in
Getting nothing everytime
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this moment
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from

I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

Everytime I try to grasp for air
I get smothered and this sky, it's never over, over
Seems I never wake from this nightmare
I let out a solid breath, let it be over, over

Inside I'm screaming
Breaking, pleading the world
Ahh...

My heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true
Each peep reminds me of you

It hurts my soul
Cos I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cos I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need...

I'm about to break
I guess I missed it
I'm addicted to your lure
And I'm feeling for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need...

I can make it
It's some state I'm in
Getting nothing everytime
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this moment
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from

I say...
I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

Only thing I need to do is walk away

I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away

If you listen to her cd's some songs are about him. Aguilera is very talented and forever I know will be remembered!

Loved Ones Gone <3

This war that we have right now in Iraq and where ever were fighting now is outrageous. I call this the "Bush War" because this whole thing is sooooooo freakin stupid like I don't even know what were fighting about. So having loved ones over there is kind of an inconvienience with all this stuff. They're gone for the holidays and it's really upsetting. This is really emotionally damaging too, like ya there's hardly anything goin on. But for the fact that this is called "war" is well you know scary. What's also scary is all the unexpected bombing in the most unexpected place and what so ever. This all started with that one day on September 11, 2001. What happened that day at the twin towers was a blow to the head for America. I remember I was in 5 grade and on that day alot of kids were talking about it. I knew as the day went on, however, it was scaring me. I didnt even know what the hell the Twin Towers were, but I knew it had to be big. My teacher's faces I wont forget. They knew they had to keep their composure, but you can tell by just staring at them in the eyes they were scared to hell by this. Many people lost their family members and it attacked American Pride to the core. At first everyone thought it was a commercial airline that the tower, but when everybody found out it was ana ct against terrorism everyone lost their damn minds. I sit here and think if it wasnt terrorism would people have been as devastated? Now 8 years has gone passed and were still in this same stupid situation. Things have got better over in the Middle East and everyone knows where we are in this. So my question is when is enough, enough??? How long do they need us over there and how long before our loved ones can come home to us. Come home to where they belong safe and sound with people that love them. Come home, please.....

What My Blog is About

Blogs are suppose to be about things that people type about. Some are on topics of the world, their heritage, issues, and etc. My blogs are about things that come to my mind and mostly on world issues or basic issues on current issues happening now. Some I catch up on like drinking and basic statistic things. Sometimes it is so hard to figure out what I'm suppose to type like ideas and topics. Were not suppose to type about ourselves and therefore it's always so hard to keep up on my blogs with school and work. So most of the time I never turn in ALL of my blogs and it's frustrating! Blogs are kind of like my own personal diary and I feel like I cant type to my full expectations with this whole not type about yourself. But I like to write about songs, ghost because that's interesting to me, things I find interesting or outrageous, and etc. It's kind of hard to write right now about what my blogs are about because it's all sooooo random and out of place or as I should say my mind is a little bizarre. Sometimes I type to just get it done so it can be really hard to know what to type about ecspecially if your not always keeping up with the news or just don't know about the topic your typing about so it takes alot longer than of course something you know to type about. But this is basically what my blog consumes of and Hopefully i'll be able to live through this quarter by typing all of the blogs required. I can give you a tip on coming up with things to type. Here's what you do 1.Get a piece of paper and write down all the things that come to your mind. 2.start looking at the tinjgs on there that are interesting and of course 3. . mark down the blogs that you think would be interesting. The key is to mark the blogs that you know about so it goes alot faster. But I wanted to write about what to expect or look for in my blogs. Maybe I'll come up with different topics to type about but with my mind it probly wont happen.
