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.
