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.
