i don't get it
i don’t get how throwing away someone’s dishes because they’re dirty is okay. yes i know we should wash them right away or leave them in our room until we’re ready to wash them but DO NOT throw people’s shit away. that’s money. and it’s a shitty thing to do.
sorry for the rant, they’re just a lot of tension in our suite because of this shit and...
The Power of Tears
A lot of my friends laugh at me because I tend cry a lot at movies, tv shows, and books. I didn’t use to be this way but for the past few years, I have become a fountain - and not a fountain of joy- when it comes to some subjects. I mostly cry at times of death and people dealing with that death but I cry at happy times too. I remember being 11 and watching Pearl Harbor in the movie...
True Blood
Yep I’ve been watching the first season of the HBO hit show True Blood for the past week. And I’m so addicted to it. It’s written really well. And acted really well. And it’s about vampires which are pretty awesome. Yes, I read Twilight and I love it. TB is quite different from Twilight but has some similarities. It’s like an adult version of Twilight....
this is going to be morbid and sad
Our latest blog assigment involves searching recent celebrity deaths and analyzing the claims made about them. Our English teacher specifically told us not to do Michael Jackson because well, he’s been covered quite enough. Well from what I’ve seen, a lot of my classmates chose Patrick Swayze or Heath Ledger, Swayze because he was the most recent and Heath because it was a complete...
Halos
Two things made me think of this blog. One, a video of Beyonce singing her song, “Halo” to a young girl with leukemia and two, the events that occurred last night.
The video was on PerezHilton and I had tears running down my face. It was just so amazing the way Beyonce sang to this little girl named Chelsea. A lyric says, “I can feel your halo, pray it won’t fade...
alcohol poisoning
is pretty scary to witness. even if you are across a parking lot. know your limit kids.
“YO PATRICK SWAYZE I KNOW YOU JUST DIED AND ALL & IMMA LET U FINISH.. BUT...”
– Kanye West. but not really it’s just a joke relating to the VMA’s and the whole fiasco with Taylor Swift. he did not really say that but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did, asshole that he is.
multiple englishes. englii?
For our latest blog assignment in my English 201 class here at college, we were required to write about our language and how we use it in different situations. Well I definitely know that I use a more proper form of speech whenever I am around my elders and when I am at work. I work at a Hallmark store so a lot of customers are older women and I talk very politely. Even when I am dealing with...
dream tumbling
If I can remember to do this as much as possible, I think it will be an interesting blog. I am going to try to tell you about my crazy dreams. Every single night I dream and can usually remember these dreams. Let me just say how weird they are. Tuesday’s dream included hunting for spiders while wearing galoshes and raincoats. The pond I went to was filled with spiders and spider webs...
Title IX
ahh this is a little late, we were supposed to blog about what we are writing our essays on by Wednesday. So here goes.
I originally had no idea what argument I was going to use but then while flipping through our textbook, the pages opened to a little informative essay called “Title IX: Political Football”. I knew what Title IX was so I read the essay and was genuinely interested...
This song is called “Sunday Lord” by...
rubrics and resolutions
This week in English class we have been talking about arguments and our paper that will be due next week. One thing that was different about this paper though is the fact that the teacher is gave us the chance to make our own decisions on what we wanted to be graded on for our papers. I have never had a teacher do that before. We got into small groups and came up with our own rubrics and...
favorite Needtobreathe and Green River Ordinance...
As you may know, I attended a concert this past weekend. The performers were three bands, Needtobreathe, Griffin House, and Green River Ordinance. I bought both Needtobreathe’s new album and GRO’s album. And I must say how impressed I am with both of these bands. I love all the songs. But some lyrics have really stuck with me so I’m going to stick them in here. :D
