Week 11
I found this picture and then my sister started complaining about how she hates reading. I about wanted to slap her. She is twelve and when I was twelve I loved to read. This picture shows how a book can take you to a new world, and how you will never need to travel the world if you have a book. But when you think about it newer generations do not read as much. There is a good amount of years between my younger sister and me and she would much rather watch television or better yet, the movie version of a book than actually pick up the book. Something needs to be fixed obviously
week 9
This is a video of a paparazzi following Nicole Richie and Joel Madden pushing one of her babies in a stroller. This is just crazy and scary. I cannot belive that people actually spend their days video taping ‘famous’ people walk down the street. They sit there all day trying to get there money shot. Its just wild, I feel so badly that these people cannot even go for a walk in their neighborhood. What has this world come to, i cannot even imagine practically stalking someone. It is beyond creepy and just watching this video makes me feel intrusive. I don’t even know how the photographer feels creeping on people’ lives.
Reblog week 9
Ugh, paparazzi are such an invasion of privacy. Any time i hear of stars striking back at them I feel no sympathy for the paparazzi. I think they deserve it. These people are just normal people and all they want is to live a normal life but for some reason some people take it upon themselves to put these stars lives on film always. They ruin so much, just look at Jon and Kate Gosselin, they are just trying to raise their kids and get through a divorce and they are always being followed.

Week 9
When I started reading this story I thought it would be this great story about a play ground love that bloomed into something wonderful as they got older but the end was kind of silly but it made me think, could Stephen had known he wasn’t going to like girls even in the fifth grade?
All through middle school he had no interest in her so could this give into the idea that being gay is something you are born with? I believe that you are born gay and that there is no way to fix it and you shouldn’t want to fix it. If someone loves someone let them love. I think this is proof that you are born with this and that sometimes you can’t help things from happening.
Teens Trying to Get Pregnant →
W8
This article is about teenage girls actually trying to get pregnant. It shows how the mothers of these girls feel, and allows an open chatroom for people to discuss it. In the chatroom their seems to be a general agreement that teen girls shouldn’t try to take this path, and if I were in their position I’d feel the same way. It seems like such an odd situation to me, because I’ve never met a teenage girl that wanted a baby.All of the girls I know spend a good deal of time making sure they avoid it. I don’t understand why anybody would want to have a baby so early in life. It would make so much more sense to wait until your done with high school at the very least. Or ideally, go to college and get a decent career started so you have something to build on and give your family a good life and aren’t on welfare struggling for money.
Week 8
Whenever I think of teen girls trying to get pregnant I always think of the Maury Show. I also always think how stupid are these girls. They have their whole lives ahead of them and all they can think about is being tied down with a family already. That is just so sad. I remember watching Maury one day and they were talking to an out of control 15 year old and she was trying to have a baby, they brought her on the show a year later and she was 8 months pregnant and thought her babys daddy was cheating on her. You can not trust any teen boy so why would you want to get knocked up by one and end your life then. I want to be a mom as bad as any other girl but I want to finish college, and have a career, and see the world first, and it just makes me sad that these girls just can’t see the big picture of life.
Inmates Rescue Guard in Jailhouse Brawl →
Read this article and watch the video. It is amazing.
This one inmate attacks an older guard and then about 10 other inmates come and rescue the guard.
I think this article says something about the prison system. I think it says that obviously the prison system is doing something right. That one guy got the upper hand on a guard and instead of jumping at the chance to cause a riot, these inmates realized that this guy can seriously hurt a guard who has been nothing but nice to them and they stepped in to rescue him.
This disproves the stereotype that all prisoners are these scary jerks looking for a fight, and proves that they are learning something in jail.
W7 This is a song from the band Good Charlotte called “Hold On”. I was obsessed with them before I knew about MUSE. I got the video from www.youtube.com. I remember hearing this song around 7th grade and it came at a perfect time. In January of 03, some guys busted out at our school and killed one of my friends, Jose Lopez. At that time when we all found out what happened, it was a very depressing moment. Then me and my friends heard this song and we dedicated it to Jose. I think that the band was trying to reach out to those people who are going through a hard time, by saying to hold on and stay strong that even though things are bad, they’ll eventually get better. This is the type of outlook I have as well, whenever a friend of mine or myself feel like poop, I just tell em to look at the brightside, things always happen for a reason and will eventually get better. :) The video also shows how people went through different situations and still managed to stay strong and positive. It is a great song, with an even better message behind it. Here are the lyrics to the song:
This world
This world is cold
But you don’t
You don’t have to go
You’re feeling sad, you’re feeling lonely, and no one seems to care
Your mother’s gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Your days
You say they’re way too long
And your nights
You can’t sleep at all
Hold on
And you’re not sure what you’re waiting for, but you don’t want to know more
And you’re not sure what you’re looking for, but you don’t want to know more
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don’t stop looking, you’re one step closer
Don’t stop searching, it’s not over
Hold on
What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you’re doing to me?
Go ahead…What are you waiting for?
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don’t stop looking, you’re one step closer
Don’t stop searching, it’s not over
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Hold onP.S. We miss you Jose <3

I think this song not only speaks the truth about keeping strong when times get hard, but also (the line: We all bleed the same way that you do) it says something about finding comfort in others. It happens way to much that people who suffer from depression do not have the courage to ask for help. I experienced this with my sister. She was depressed and felt as though she couldn’t talk to anyone. She attempted to hurt herself and wanted to end her life. Luckily we figured it out before anything bad happened but we still wished she would have came to us. She said she was afraid that we wouldn’t understand. But we did and I think if others with depression come forward for help with their depression then would get the help they need and they wouldn’t end up like my sister did.
5 Reasons a 3 Year Old Thinks Her Mom Sucks →
Week 7
I laughed really hard when I read this, because, yeah, moms do tend to screw things up when you are little. I remember when I was little I would do my puzzles and place them strategically on the floor and she would come a mess them up. Moms are meddling.
And you would think the meddling would stop as you get older, but it doesn’t. It gets worse as you get older. My mom calls and asks me what I am going to do every weekend, and then lectures me when I say I am going to a bar or something. It makes me want to lie to her, but then she will just nag at me for lying to her. It is a terrible viscous cycle. This makes me think, moms have to know that we are doing things they don’t want to know about, so why do they bother meddling if they don’t want to hear about it.
Has being a mother just turned into irritating your children?
Week 6 Reblog
I loved this video when I first saw it, and I agree that this is a wonderful way to celebrate the love between two people. What makes me sad about seeing this post is that after this video came out Fox 4 News went around and asked some of the local churches, all different religions, if they would allow this to happen in their church. Some priests would quickly answer yes that they too agreed a wedding was a celebration of love. But some priests quickly answered no. They said that a wedding was supposed to be a quiet moment between two people. That those people should reflect upon their love and should be thanking God for bringing them together. I personally believe that blaring Chris Brown and having your wedding party dance down the aisle is a pretty cool ( and loud and effective) way of thanking God for bringing two people together.

I agree with kristas-09 that this video is a lot of fun. I like how they managed to keep a certain feeling of spontaneity despite its obvious pre-plannededness. Anymore, people spend so much money on their weddings, it really should be a celebration that is special to the couple. Here, they’ve managed to take the old tradition of “walking down” the aisle and make it their own. Instead of going through the motions of a tradition they had no part in making, they found a way to be truly original. Also, I really like that the couple approaches the “altar” together. There’s a very nice sentiment to the idea of going into this whole married thing together (instead of one person being “given away” to another).
Week 6
This video is so hilarious! It would be so much fun to get married like that. I bet they had a ton of fun and the families watching really looked like they enjoyed it. They were all clapping along and having a great time. I like that they decided to do that for their entrance. It is very unique and fun. It is not traditional and that makes it even more exciting. I think that this is what the couple wanted to do to stick out and really have a good time getting married. it was a very cute idea and I loved it. Maybe one day I will get married like that.

WARNING: SOME PEOPLE (I DON’T KNOW WHO) MAY FIND THIS SCARY! NOW FOR THE FAINT OF HEART…. OR IS IT?
So this past weekend I took my boyfriend home to meet my parents and my dad and sister asked us to go see this movie with them. I had heard that it was pretty terrifying so I was game. The movie was filmed as a documentary film….. it should have been called a suck-u-mentry.
I have never been so upset with a piece of work. I wanted to be scared. This movie promised to be scary. The movie failed to deliver.
Which brings me to my question (and it seems appropriate since Halloween is coming up): Why do people want to be scared?
I remember reading an article once my Steven King and he talked about how people like the adrenaline. I can agree. I love the feeling of my heart beating faster and my breaths getting shorter with fear, and I am sure others love it also. But why do we love it? Why do we want to pay people to make us scared? I think it is the idea of being thrilled and not having what is going on in movie happen to you. But I could be wrong.
Why do Women Cry?
Why do Women Cry?
A little boy asked his mother, “Why are you crying?” “Because I’m a woman,” she told him.
“I don’t understand,” he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, “And you never will.”
Later the little boy asked his father, “Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?”
“All women cry for no reason,” was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he asked God. He said, “God, why do women cry so easily?”
God said:
” When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.”
“You see my son,” said God, “the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.”W5
I pulled this story off of http://www.positivethoughts.com/whydowomencry.htm. Ever since I was a little girl my mom always told me this story. I think this story can touch many people both men and women. I think this story is interesting because the reason why women act like the way they do is because of god. God created women the way that it is explained in this story in my opinion. This is a great inspiration for men to understand all the hard work that women have to go through. I think the point of the story came across of how the writer wanted it to come through. As a young lady, I can see what the world will have in store for me in the future.
Week 5 Reblog
I love this. I come from a family that is very female dominate and we are always the ones who seem to carry the family. We are the ones who pick up the pieces when everything falls to hell. This is such a sweet way to explain why we cry. Women tend to bare so much and our tears are our way of coping with it. This post makes me believe that crying doesn’t make women weak but our tears are a symbol of our strength. I love the paradox of how tears are strength but are meant to seem weak.
