I have spent the whole week at my aunt's house and I had so much fun. I love it. We have done everything togeather.I get to stay until Monday, which is good. Monday is my uncles birthday and I plan to get him something I just don't know what yet. It is very hard to decide what to get him. I know he likes polo, but who doesn't. I will keep thinking on it. Also, I just discovered Lady Gaga's new cd. It is pretty good. I actually like it. I like the songs Bad Romance and Alejandro. They are pretty good.I can't wait for Christmas. I have my whole list ready to give to my mom. I think that she will be suprised at it, but she should not be. My mom always says that I am spoiled and I always tell her that she made me that way. She has always spoiled me. For Christmas I only want the new Ipod touch, Ps3, Psp, Intouch Styler, and the new God of War 3 game. The game looks so awesome. I saw the preview and the graphics for the game is wicked. I mean just awesome. It has more than the second one. The third one is about he has to go defeat the god Zues because he has cast Kratoes down from being the God of War. I also want the Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Underworld game. I already have it on Ps2 and the graphics are good, but it is nothing compared to the on Ps3. on Ps3 Lara can shoot while on balance beams or while climbing pilers or columns. She can also shoot two targets at the same time. The one on Ps3 also has more challanges and more puzzles that the player has to solve. The one on Ps2 is just so straigt forward.

Today when the class watched Punk: Attitude I thought that as Punk got into the 70's the people who liked the group and tried to copy the style went about it all the wrong way. The fans started to pierce their faces with safety pins. The musicians were not even doing that. I thought that was so disguesting and sick. If you really love a musician that much just get a tee-shirt with that band or artist on it, a hat, a trinket or something like that and call it a day. I just could not believe that people were actually putting safety pins in their cheeck like it was cool or something. That is just nasty. It's like do you donate your life to this or something like this.It seemed that the later it got in the decade the crazier Punk got. Artists were just basically screaming and doing ridiculous things. Groups had some of their shows cancelled because the places they were having them at, were scared they would do something crazy. An example was the Sex Pistols, on their first tour they only had 4 shows because some were cancelled. They were told not to piss on stage or stuff like that. That was crazy. It proved that some of the groups got ridiculous and some were just over exageratted. i don't think tht anyone or group is that rebellous or crazy to wild stuff that wild. That goes all sanitary rules and things. People could get sick from that or the group or person could lose many fans if they do stuff like that.

PunkAttitude is a video I actually liked and thought was pretty good. I thought that I would not like it and that it would be boring and crap, but the more I watch the video and learn about the history of Punk and how it became what it is today the more I like it. I liked the beginning when the narrater said that groups started out in their garage and got heard by doing gigs in smalll places or clubs. Most people get their start there. Producers are more than likely going to be at a club having a good time or just looking for new talent to sign. I think that it also shows initative, that they have guts to do half the things that they do or wear. The part were some of the narrators talked about how with punk a person just expressed themselves and did whatever they wanted and not cared. I liked that part. I think it showed just how much diffrent and wild people and music could be. Musicians were smashing their instruments on the stage, screaming into the microphone and just saying anything that comes to mind. In those times people who were doing r&b, blues, hip hop, rap, soul or even country did not slam their intrutments on the stage or start screaming into the mic. They had serene music that may have been a little upbeat, but not get a "get you rallyed and crazy" type beat. It proves that Punk was a way to exopress yourself and feel better.

In the media and to people Rupert Murdoch is considered to be stupid and needs to keep his mouth closed. According to Slate.com he was trying to sue google for putting his websites in its search engine. Really, how stupid. if he has his websites in googles search engine, people will more then likely look at the websites and he will gain more website views. It is not bad to have google putting your websites on its search engine. It will actually help you and Rupert could get richer. He really is stupid.They are also saying that the things that come out of his mouth are crap and not to listin to him. It really is. That is not a lie. I mean how can you say that you are going to sue google and not only do you not go through with it, you don't add the thing that will block google from using your websites. Rupert could of added robots.txt to block google from stealing his websites. If he was really serious about this whole thing he would of done all of this along time ago. I think he just wants some publicity. He knows that myspace is going down and he bought it. So know, i think, he is trying to attract some attention to himself and his websites. People make money from there websites when people visit their websites. They go collect their money and that is how they get rich. I think Rupert is trying to make more money by saying things that will get him noticed and this might be a way for him to do it. He is losing money from myspace because it is going down.

After reading the article, I think that it creates a positive picture for the movie. It makes the movie sound really good, like it is suspense/thriller. It talks the movie up to be about a couple that are given a choice to push a button or not to push a button. When they push the button, they have to figure out what they have done. It plays on the idea that people make decisions, everyday, that make a big impact on our lives. This review about the movie plays on the curious side of people and gives the reader just enough to entice and tell them what happens, but not where they go into every detail and make it seem like they are reading the movie in this review.The ethical dilemma in this movie is to kill a person for money(greed). It is like would you take another human beings life just for your own selfish gain, just to be rich. The greed will eventually be your downfall as portrayed in this movie. I would never take the money because my concious would not allow it. It would tear me down and really get to me. I would not be happy with the money because it would be like I have blood money even though I did not kill that person. I had the choice to keep them alive or take their life and I choose to take it. I believe in God, so if I have problem like that I would just go to Him and ask Him for help. I know that He would.

Gosh, Mr. Miller is awesome. Two days I get to write about anything I want. I'm trying to make today a good day. It has to be. I need to be in good spirits today. I have to study and I want to feel good so I can retain more information, but I feel tired for some reason. I got over six hours of sleep and still I feel tired. Which is not good. I was thinking about makeing a rough draft of my essay and asking Navid to prooofread it for me seeing as how he got an A. I wish I could an A. I will try to get it this paper. Last night when I got home I erased everything on my Ipod and put all new songs on there. I decided to do that after I found the song that I was looking for. When I found the song I realized that things come togeather when they are supposed to, happen when it needs to, and that things happen for a reason. The song is so uplifting and the artist that sings it is wonderful. I decided to download some more of her music and it was awesome. I am worried about some of my friends. I don't know what to do about them. They are all over the place and don't know what to do or what they want. I want to help, but I don't know how to. I tried talking to them and that still does not help. They don't listin to me when I know what is going to happen. I have been through it and noone listins to me. Well I can't help everyone.

Today is just one of those days where I feel like the whole world is comming down on me. I have a C in english and Psychology and a A in Speech and political Science, I need to get a job, I'm going to be broke very,very soon, My mom is worrying me to death and I fear that I might fail Psychology. I know that I will be able to bring up my grades, but I really want to make all A's this semester. In order to keep HOPE I have to have at least a 3.0 and I plan to keep HOPE and have all A's doing it. I just need to better manage my time and maxamize my time. If I do I feel I will do a whole lot better.Also I ran through my refund check and now I am completely broke I am forced to rely on my mom for money and I hate relying on other people for money.I plan to get a part time job to fix this. This way I will have some extra cash and won't have ask my mom for any money. My mom is pestering me to death about why I come home so late and am never at home. She says that I always have an attitude with her. She is always asking me to check her Ebay account. I know that I am supposed to do it, but I hate when people keep repeating themselves over and over.I have my next psychology exam next Thursday and I pray that I pass. I have been studying for the longest time I even have a tutor for psychology.

I read the poem Heat by Denis Johnson. The poem is about a person thinking about having sex with a woman named Susan, but it turns out to be a hallucination and that it is not real and will be almost impossible to get it. It resonates with me because these are things that young people go through and I am young. It is the imagery that it creates when a person reads it that resonates with me. It creates, to me, an image of a guy thinking about sex and then it is gone and he realize that it is a hallucination and will have to work very hard to get. People, everyday, think about things happening to them or what they want to happen to them and then they realize that they don't have it, it won't happen to them, or it will be almost impossible to achieve. It also resonates with me because I always go though times when i want something and I think and dream about it all the time and realize that it will be hard for me to get, but if I work hard for it and wait patiently then it will eventually come to me.I think that poetry is still an important art form. For some people it is a way for them to express themselves to other people without having to say anything or if a person does not have the words to describe how or what they feel, a poem could be a way for them express their feelings. Many people are better at writing and ryhming their words and feelings then they are at painting, rapping, or singing. With poetry a person can speak their soul and it has meaning and not just some crap, it can be a good way to soothe you when you are mad or upset, just grab a pen and paper and get the writing. I think to some people just writing and bringing things togeather is better then rapping, singing, or painting.

This halloween I will be going as a devil. I love the thought of going as a devil. The thought of dressing up and acting like someone else or being someone else for a day is awesome to me. I thought of going as the devil because I have always been curious about the devil and I like the color red. I like the costume and what it suggest. I think that it suggest that a person has a sexy side and a bad girl side to them. Personally, I think that I have a sexy side and a bad girl side that no one sees. Also it suggest that a person is mysterious, seductive, and sneaky. I like to be regarded as those things sometimes. I know that a lot of people will be dressing up as a devil but i think that my costume will have more meaning. Ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted to go as a devil. I always thought it was cute how girls dressed up all sexy like with: horns, tail, heels, sexy, red corset,and black shorts, and black, sexy stockings. So now I will finally be fufilling one of my dreams/fantasies and go out looking like a hot, sexy devil. I always thought that any other costume was too crappy and just so goody or like a person could not really transform it. With the devil costume a person could make it any way they choose and add thing to make it seem more of a sexy devil or a sweet devil, depending on what a person likes.

I hoped that today would be a good day and it was. I am spending the weekend at Morgie Poos this weekend. It will be Shaloni, Kellie, and me. Morgie is going home for halloween and well Kellie is going home also, so it will be just Shaloni and I. I hope we have some fun this weekend. I think I am doing better in my Psychology class. I now have a tutor to help me. It is Navid who is helping me. He is really good at explaining and giving me examples that I can really understand. When I go to study the terms and the notes I took, I feel I will have a better understanding and finally be able to make an A or at least B. I hope to make an A. If I do it will boost my grade up and I will feel better. It is like he test on the concept not the definition, which I guess that is what college is all about. If I make a good grade on my test I will come out of my depression and I will feel happy, not like things are out of my control. I think that if I focus on my work, I mean really focus I will have a better grasp. I will study more and try harder. I also hope that I did good on my speech. I read it to the class and nost of my class mates said I did good but I felt that I stumbled on a few words and was speed reading, but other then that I think I did great. I could tell that the teacher liked a it. She was smiling at the end and I could also tell that she liked my attention-getter. I saw her smile during that part and write quickly on her paper.

I think that people make up myths and legends because they want to be just like the artists people lie about. I also think another reason that people make up myths and legends is because they are jealous of them and want what they have. Alot of people want to be famous, so what's a better way to get some attention then to talk about the person who is the hottest and most popular right now. Some people want to be like the people they lie about and they look up to them and think "hey i'm so cool and if i say somethings about them, that will help the artist to become even more popular and it will also help me to become popular."I think that we sometimes correlate imsanity and talent because when we are in a state of mind where you don't have interaction with other people because they don't want to be around because they are scared of you, A person can really can find and focus on that specific talent because they have the peace and alone time to find it. I think that the "tortured artist" is a cliche because some artists say all the time when they are upset or going through something that has a big impact on them, they say they are a "torturted artist" because things are not going their way or that is how their work is. The cliche is just something the artist uses to give themself a label and make them feel like they are special. I mean alot people call themselves a "torturted soul"

Today is going to be a good day. I an already tell. I feel good and look good. my best friend Jackie and I are going shopping. That is my favorite thing to do. When i am stressed, upset, just want to get away from it all, or just to have fun, i go shopping. Shopping to me is like when massage. it makes you feel good about the all the things that cause you pain or make you feel bad. It always knows the right spots to hit. It helps to make you forgot all of the things you are stressed about and to just relax.
Jackie and I are going to Perimeter mall. I have to get some more jewelery, a pair of black boots, a winter jacket, and some more shirts from Forever Twenty-One. I hope that I don't go broke from this, i still have my phone bill to pay for for about three more months. I will then get my next refund check. I can then go shopping again and finally be able to get another car, but I think I will save it for when I move in next year. I plan to move to the commons. Things should go better when I move down here. I will be able to concentrate more and have the full college experience. Commuting everyday is hard and it is stupid. I pay Marta thirty-seven dollars and fifty for the unlimited pass and C-Tran about twenty-six dollars for a twenty ride pass. They are getting expensive and that is money that I could be saving. Today will be a good day I can feel it.

Stax Records is a very important record company. Its influence is so important it should go in the story books. Stax Records founded some of the great talent that was big in the 60's. They signed groups like: Isaac Hayes, Staple Singers, Otis Redding, or Rufus Thomas. Stax Records was founded by Jim Stewert and Estelle Stewert Axton, they were brother and sister. Later it was taken over by Al Bell, who made it as great as it was. If it was never founded, this generation would never have heard of these people or some of them would of never been founded by other people. Other record companies were not intrested in finding black musicians to promote and perform, they only wanted white people because it was during segregated times. Stax was the first to promote black people, so it became an inspiration to other black people and people of other races that were not accepted by society. It influenced people to take a stand and stand for what they believe in and never back down because you do have a voice and that a person was so much more then just trash to be walked over.I have never heard of Stax Records and I have only heard of one the artists mentioned which is Otis Redding. My mom or dad told me about them. I can never remember which. They do not intrest me because it is not the kind of music that I listin to, but if I did I think that I would of heard of them and really known about them and the artists they promoted.

Yesterday was not a good day for me. I thought I had everything in order. I thought that everything was going to be smooth sailing and that I would pass my Psych. Exam. I barely passed, I made a 74 on it. I studied my butt of for the exam. I thought that I would at least make a B. I was hoping for an A. I was so upset yesterday that I feel into a little depression and did not want to be bothered by anyone. My best friend Jackie gave me a hug to try and make me feel better and that only helped a little. She told me something that made me realize that it is not the end of the world and that I still have time to fix it and bring my grade up. She said " you win some, you lose some. You are not going to win every time and there is always time to fix it." She even used herslf as an example. I thought about what she said and realized that she was right and that I did do better then I did on my first exam. After that I felt better and to really get my mind off of i went to work out with Morgan and some other friends.The workout really made me feel good and not think about it. It helped me to put it in the back of my mind and I felt like it was so far away and that I could deal with it another day. I went home and My mom and I got into it about me not having a job, so I can by my own things and not ask her for any money. I said that I wont ask her for anything anymore. Later on we came to an agreement I will get a job, but only work like three days. I get a refund check of over 2,000 dollers and I give her 1,000 of it. I also explained to her that college is a full time thing and I'm stll adjusting to it. After all of this I went to sleep and in the morning I felt better and felt like I can balance all of this.

I watched the episode CNN leaves it there. I think that Jon Stewert does challange mainstream media and the crap that comes out of their mouthes. Jon Stewert talks about how CNN "leaves it there" when they talk about the healthcare, the reform, and the bill being passed. Jon Stewert basically calls them out on what they are doing. He is basically saying that they need to finish what they were saying, they are on 24 hours a day and they can't seem to finish with what they are saying. Jon Stewert can finish what he has to say in under twelve mininutes so why can't CNN. Jon Stewert just tells how things really are and what really goes on. He does not leave things out or suger coat things. He tells the good along with the bad and adds a little humor in it, which makes the show so popular. CNN should tell everything not just what they want Americans to hear. They should also try to add some humor instead of always being so serious. They might get more ratings if they were. CNN should also try and not beat around the bush with what they are saying and just say it. They always seem to dance around it for a few minutes and then when they start to talk they don't even go into detail. They give the bare minimin. This is the reason thta people watch The Daily Show wiht Jon Stewert. It speaks the truth and actually finishes the stories they have.

This says that the quality of music will soon start to decline based on this machine and how it rates people or groups songs and how popular it will be with the generation. In the near future this machine will probably make or break a music artist. With this machine, a music artist with really good music ,that is uncommon but none the less really good to listin to, might not get discovered because of the machines standards of what is "Hot" and "Happining" now is not what the artists music sounds like. With this people like Maxwell or Joe might not have been discovered. The generation now listins mostly to rap, hip hop, or anything upbeat and fast. So anything that is slow or something that a person just listin to and goes to sleep to might not be around. In some ways it might even discourage some people or it might encourage a person. It would encourage a person to change their music and do better, but then a person would also be taking away a part of themselves just to fit in. It could also discourage a person to not try because if a machine, that knows what is hot and what will sell, tells an artist that their music is crap that person might think that the machine knows what it is talking about and my stuff might not sell. Music will no longer have any real meaning to it. It will be empty and nothing that will make you think and feel good it will just be something to past the time. The hit knower machine will do no good it could put down people and all the dreams they have because it does not fit into the mold.

Art 21: Romance- The Art 21: Romance consisted of four artists that each represented a diffrent art. The four artists are: Lurie Simmons, Lari Pittman, Judy pfaff, and Pierre Hughes. Lurie Simmons took photographs and used them as tools for her art. She made a play that was three acts and used puppets instead of actors. Lurie expected her viewers to feel that they were entering a real place. Act one gave her the chance to explore the love within a family and with neighbors and problems with family and neighbors. Act two is the part with Meryl Streep and the dummy. It depicts the love between the girl and the dummy. Act tree had to do with the audience. She said that romance makes it more emotional and can connect with the audience. She also said that time is most important yet regret is the prevailing emotion that brings the tree acts togeather. There is regret because the clock was not lead and the birthday cake was. If the clock tried out it would of got the lead, but it did not. Lari Pittman was a painter and he talked about gay and homosexual in America and how it cannot be hid. He had paintings of birds in cages. He was atheist and yet he was fascinated by jesus. He used jseus in his paintings. Judy Pfaff used welding as her form of art and decribed her background. She was intrested in tree roots and used those as the inspiration of her art. She said that romance equals emotion. The last artist was Pierre Hughes. He used a play as his work of art. He thinks that Humer is important to break even the possibilites of critical judgement and likes the speed of humor. Pierre thought that it would be intresting to set up a reality to produce a reality and to document this reality.I think that each artist had a good thought or idea. I think that humor is important, but a artist needs to be able to connect with his/her audience and get them to understand and see their way of thinking. They need to be able to explain without confussing the audience. I also think that romance is an important element in any art. It helps to connect with the audience on an emotional level and make the art not seem so not down to earth, as if it is not just art but an impact on a persons life.

I had so much fun yesterday. I loved it. Yesterday I went to see Gym Class Heros with my best friend Jackie. Spotlight, the program that creates activities, had them come here. I loved every moment of it. Jackie and I met a girl named Destiny and another girl named Giselle. They were nice and we exchanged numbers with them. I also meet one of Jackies' ex boyfriends which was kind of wierd because Jackie did not even want to see him again. He tried to block me from getting into the concert. That was when I had to let him know I was not having any of that. I also meet this other guy and he was cute and nice. He offered me something to drink but I turned him down, I wanted to make sure I was good for the concert. When we got in there we got front row seats, we had floor seating. My other friend Brittany was also there. The openeing act was a group called Micah Dalton. They were good but not better then Gym Class Heros. They performed for about thirty min. When Gym Class Heros came out everyone ran to the stage. They performed several songs including: Cupids Chokehold, Viva La White Girl, Clothes Off, and Simple living. Travis, the lead singer/rapper, grabbed my hand. He also sang to this girl from Spellman college. Towards the end someone asked for them to take off his boxers. I thought that was funny. After the concert Jackie and I went to IHOP. We had chicken tenders and fries. God I had the best time ever. I will remember this day forever. I loved every moment of this night.

I have alot of books that I love but my favorite book is called "Confessions of a Rookie Cheerleader."It is written by Erika J. Kendrick. Erika used to be a cheerleader and so the book is based off of her life before she became a writer.The book is about a Woman named Hannah Love.She is a music exec. and works for Rockstar records. She has everything she wants a nice apartment, great friends, and a wonderful fiance. After finding out that her fiance is cheating on her, she leaves him and goes to chicago. While in Chicago, she decides to try out for the chicago diamonds. She makes the team. While on the team she meets Max Knight, the star player of the Chicago Diamonds. Hannah also gets into a few run ins with a jealous teammates and a very flirty boss. Max and Hannahs love for each other grows, but they are not allowed to date. The golden rule is that teammates can not date each other. They try and keep their relationship out of the limelight, but it just blows up in their faces. Hannah learns that some of the cheerleaders are dating the basketball players. Hannah and Max decide to try the relationship out. In her journey to find herself and what she wants she learns that her boss is gay and has been sleeping with his boss. When she finds this out and the fact that he is not taking her with him to this premotion deal that was in the works, she decides to leave and take her most valuable asset with her,Rain, the next hottest thing to hit the market. In the end Max and Hannah get married and she becomes the president of True records.I love this book because it makes me feel like dreams really do come true if you hard at them. It also makes me think that even in the worst of times, the very best is always right around the corner just waiting for you to go get it.

I read the article and found that it does have some relevence to my life. I am half black and Al Franken making a refrence to black people and how wrong it is to treat black people wrong and like they are beneath a person made me think that they're some good people left in the world. It makes me think people of diffrent races can coexisit in harmany in the world. After reading this article I feel better about going out and meeting new people and meeting people of higher standing. I now realize that people of higher standing are not all racist like their parents might have been. It shows that America has made big changes from the 50's and 60's.Some of the terms and refrences i don't know are: Al Franken eventually taking his seat, death of Walter Cronkite, National Committee for an Effective Congress, now-historic call upon the lady governor, Zola, Swift, Bernie Goldberg, Heritage Foundation, Brookings Institution, Citizens for Tax Justice, Joseph Welch’s famous challenge to Joseph McCarthy, and African American lesbian comedian. I think no of these terms or refrences are relevent to me in any way. I don't care about an african american lesbian comedian, Joseph Welch's challenge to Joseph McCarthy, or Walter Cronkite. I don't even know who these people are. These people or events will not help me in my life or what i want to do in life. The Heritage Foundation or Brookings Institution has not given me any money or helped me in any way, so I don't care who or what they do. When these events or people start helping me then i will care about them and what they do. Only then will I care because they will have an impact on my life and how it progresses or how i view my life.

I found the article intresting. I did not know about Americans losing their religion. I think it is sad. Americans should not lose their religion especially during times like these, when the economy is in the worse shape that it could possibly be in right now. Instead people should be united with their religion, even more in tune with it now that things are happening.This is saying that americans are losing themselves or they just might be finding themselves. I say they are losing themselves because they are starting to doubt their religion. Many people hear basically " God is on your side" and they believe it. That is what people are mostly tought in their religion. Some Christians think they are better than any other religion and the same goes for other religions. They think the same. People are forgetting that God love everyone and sees everyone as equal. So God has no side, he cares for us all. People forget this and they might think the pastor is lying and leave because they feel they have been decieved.I say that Americans also might be finding themselves because many people join a religion because their family is that religion or their friends are and they want to fit in. Some people don't want to disappoint the person or people they cherish the most. So they put their feelings and their thoughts about religion on the back burner. Many Americans are finally learning to think for themselves and make their own decisions about what thier religion should be. So either way this could be a postitive or negative thing for all Americans.

Today, for some strange reason, I feel like an outsider. I don't even know why I do. I think it's because the way everyone has been acting. They have all been acting wierd and crazy. I feel like they don't invite me to anything or like I have to invite myself. I shouldn't feel like that. I should feel happy and like part of the group, almost like they want me around. Then again I think that sometimes alot of people feel like that. Hopefully tomorrow i will feel better and look at it as a new day and a new begining. I watched Superbad. It was pretty funny. The fat boy deserved what he got, he should not of got the girl. He was mean,crude and rude. The tall skinny one desrved to get the girl sooner because he was much nicer and thought of women as women, not as sex toys like the fat boy. My favorite was Froggo. He was cool and did not have much to worry about. Overall the movie was good and it tought a lesson: don't judge everything as you see it. Sometimes there is something more than what you see and a person will have to look past it to get to honestly know a person. I would recomend this movie a people.Also I have a problem of just falling asleep, I just did it and my mom had to come and wake me up. Funny thing about it is that now I feel good and rejuvinated. Maybe I should do this more often.

The two news sites that I trust are: Channel Two Action News and BBC World News. I trust Channel Two Action News because they keep me posted about the weather for the day, morning, afternoon, evening and night and for the week, they let me know what the traffic will be like for the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. They keep up with all the latest news. As soon as something happens the news station jumps right on it to deliver it to us. Sometimes they even go live with the news. If something happens in the morning, it is more then likely to be on the afternoon show. They even show news that happened in the entertainment world. This is better then the AJC or the Weekly World News because it goes into more depth with the stories they produce and they are more appealing for people to watch. They make jokes and laugh and say funny things. A person wont have to wait until the next day or maybe two days to hear about what is going on in the community.I trust BBC World News because they let me know about what is going on in the world and countries interact with each other. They tell me about other countries, their weather, and what goes on in that country. In a way BBC World News is like Channel Two Action News. It talks about the same things except BBC World News is international and Channel Two Action News is just national. BBC World News is better because in a way can relate the news to America and if or how it will affect America.

Today was one of the best days of my life. I took my first exam for Political Science. I believe that I passed with at least a 95. I studied every day for this exam. As a treat to myself for passing it I was going to get my nails done. They came out perfect. They looked all girly and it made feel all good like I really accomplished something. The whole day I felt gorgous, like a pretty princess. Just the thought of pamparing myself as a reward made me feel wonderful. I didn't feel as if I was just doing it to just do it. I love the feeling that I got from this. I have decided that every time I pass an exam or test I will treat myself, whether it be shopping or to the movies. I loved the feeling that I got and I want to keep it.

"Obama Calls for an End to Stalling on Mideast Talks" is an article from The New York Times. It talks about how Obama wants to start the peace talks with Israeli and Palestin goverments. It also talks about how the negotions failed and that George J. Mitchell came back with no good news, so Obama sent Hilary Clinton in place. This is a good example because the on going war is in the news and on every station. Most of the soldiers have families that want them back. The article applies to most of the people in United States. The second article I choose is "First Falcons QB Randy Johnson dead at 65". It is about the first QB for the Falcons and his death. Randy Johnson died of natural causes in a small cottage in Brevard. It is a good example because it is something that applies to everyone. Football is an American past time and alot of people are probably devestated that a legend has died.

"Drowning man": Looking at this pic I think that the man has fell in the dirty, nasty water, been pushed into the nasty water or purposely fell in to kill himself. It look as if the man is trying to drown himself. I wonder why. The man also look as if he might be from a Iraq, or India

I read Kiara's blog about getting her relationship back. I liked how she felt that she was loosing her connection with God and wanted to get it back. Most people don't notice or care that they lost it. I also like how she felt like she can't exclude him out of her life when he wakes her up every morning. I learned that alot of people don't even thank Him for getting them up when they should.

Tomorrow is the big day. I have my first exam in Speech and I hope that I pass. I have been studying really hard and i know most of it. It seems easy because i studied the whole weekend, but hey who knows.On Thursday, I have my first Psychology exam. I think that it is going to be so hard. I have not even started on it. I need to make the study guide he gave to us. That way I will have something to study and help to prepare me. I prey that I pass this thing. I fear that i might fail this test.

After reading the articles I got a better understanding of the state. I always thought that the state was just full of people who are racist and hate black people and never will.I thought that they whte people in the state still burn crosses and that the state was divided in a way like blacks could not go into a certain store. After reading the article i find that not all white people are racists and that some actually like blacks and are friends with them.When i saw the video of the people snake hunting. i thought that was really weird. Before i thought that the the people would hunt pigs and such animals, I never thought that they hunt snakes. It makes me see Missippi in a whole new light. The state is not as bad as i thought. It does have some good in it and goos people.

The Presidents address to the students has been a big deal because the president is talking to a generation of impressionable kids who could one day will become future lawyers, future doctors,senetors, or even the future president of the United States of America. People don't want their childrens mind to be corrupt or something that goes against what they have said. Citizins have always held the power to decide who will be the next president and the president wants to be voted in for another term. The president does not want to say anything that will offend the people or go against what they teach their children.I think that it is warrneted because i would want someone, who my child looks up too,to back me up not have my child going against me and ignore me.

This weekend I was at my aunt house and she has a beautiful frontyard. I went outside and I was looking at it. I saw that the frontyard was cut diagnally and the grass was very green almost like it was just watered. The bushes were cut neatly and the trees were trimmed with no twigs hanging off.The other houses in front were a great distance away and the yards looked perfect like something straight out of a magazine. Cars were coming and going out of the neigborhood. Every color car passed. People were outside laughin,jumping around, playing football. When I turned around I could see the smoke rising, it was coming from my uncles grill. The day ended just as beautiful as it began.

Well my favorite all-time song is Flaws and all by Beyonce. This song gets me because it helps me know that i am not perfect. Especially during the times when something doesn't go my way.The song also helps me to realize that even though im not the perfect person people want me to be, they still love me. Freinds and family accept me for me regardless that i act the bitch sometimes.The url is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X341gDmnxaE

I grew up in Riverdale,GA. I loved all the time spent there.I moved there when i was about 5 and i left when i was 16. I grew up in a small culdersack where they had some houses that looked nice and some that were just down right nasty looking.Some people kept their yards lookin good, some houses had brown grass, and some were outside everyday looking at it everyday. The houses were spaced apart from each other.Riverdale it self had all the places a person could think of. It was a little small when i was growing up. It has devloped into a much bigger place and it now has alot more stores down there. It now has built a new chase building. I always had a place to go like the movies, the mall, Dunkin dougnuts, the Panda express, Starbucks. I loved living in Riverdale.

I can't wait to become a nurse. I really want to start making some real money and start shopping again. I hate bein on a budget. I can't stand not bein able to buy all the cute things that i see. I don't even see the point of this budget. All it does is make me long for the things that i want and can't have. Well I should get a part-time job and then i will be able to buy the things i see. but i don't want to work at fast food again. the customers are horrible and rude to the employees and you can't say anything back to them. Maybe I should start working in a fashion store like Forever 21 or Bebe.

I was on a website and found this article about this young women whose curiosity got the better of her and it cost her some friends. The reason i found the article so intresting is that i can relate to her. I have had it happen time and time again to me, where my curiosity has got me in trouble with other people. I have always found a way to solve my curiosity. The women in the end also found a way to solve her curiosity.
Curiosity is something that everyone has and sometimes it helps a person or gets them in trouble. I think this article can relate to everyone. It is interesting to see that everyone has a problem similar to yours and that you are not alone. I think another person should read this because they will get a good laugh out of it and at the same time learn something from it. It has a very funny storyline and teaches a person they should think before they act.

The one subject that has always intrest me is cars. I love cars. The reason it intrest me is because i love the way they are made and i love speed. I love the way they are crafted to fit the consumers need and have alot of luxurys but, at the same time are at an affordable price.I think cars are so beautiful and i want a ton of them.I also like how each car has its own shape, crafted unique and how some have stood the test of time. It has always fascinated me how cars were built and how much horsepower the car has. Ever since i was a little girl i would go to the car dealerships and climb in the cars and sit in them and just look at them and have the biggest smile on my face.
