... hi...
... my musics
I mean have you heard their music, experienced their technology, dressed in their clothes, eaten their food, seen their guys, or watched their anime—it’s just awesome. But maybe that’s just me.
To me, even though I cannot understand anything that they are saying, Japanese music is just way cooler than some American music. They’re more creative, kinda, and I guess it has to do with their culture, but that’s not the point. The point is that it’s awesome. Here, I’ll give you a little taste of what I’m talking about.
But again, maybe that’s just me.
Now their technology is another thing. Aren’t they like one of the leaders in the tech business right now? When you get the chance, you have to check out this cool tech convention in Japan.
I mean come on, you know it’s cool.
Ok I think their fashion sense is sooooo AWESOME!!! I mean who can resist the cute lolita’s or the awesome cosplayers. If you don’t know what those are it is ok. You will soon see the awesomeness. Lolita is a fashion subculture originating in Japan that is primarily influenced by Victorian clothing as well as costumes from the Rococo period and a cosplay is a short for "costume play", is type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Awesome right, or am I alone again?OMG! The food! …. The Food! Aye aye ::nudge nudge:: come on, has anyone had any Japanese food or candy? If not, you are in dire need of some Japanese candies awesomeness. Maybe I’ll bring some one day. Yes! Sushi, thank you for whoever said that. Sushi is a regular Japanese dish—even though people in America treat it all wonderfully expensive and you can only get it in the rich areas or really interesting places, like little 5 points ::hint hint:: but it really isn’t that big of a deal. Yes sushi means raw fish but the term has developed to encompass more than that. Now a days you can get all kinds of sushi without the raw fish. And the candies ::tummy says yay!:: are just so awesome I had to mention them twice.
Now that’s only a little taste of some of the awesomeness of Japan. Maybe it’s because I’m the president of the Japanese club or I was overly exposed to the Japanese culture when I was young, whatever the case, Japan is awesome. <(^o^)> Yay!
divorce…
divorce. a judicial declaration dissolving a marriage in whole or in part, esp. one that releases the husband and wife from all matrimonial obligations. basically the thing that can split-up, ruin, or fix families. it has the power to traumatize children and trigger hate where there once was love. it also has the power to make or break you-depending on which side you’re on.
people divorce for many reasons like unfaithfulness, poor communication, sexual problems, lack of commitment to the marriage, addiction, failed expectations of your spouse, and/or physical, emotional, or mental abuse. sociologists believe that childlessness is also a common cause of divorce. the absence of children leads to loneliness and weariness, at least 66% of all divorced couples are childless. and according to divorcerate.org: 40% of first time marriages end in divorce, 60% for second time marriages, and 73% for third time marriages.
I think that divorce has gotten kind of popular too. when young couples get married, I believe they think that it could last and if it doesn’t they know they can get a divorce. and even though married couples have their downs they have to remember their ups also and it’s really quite pointless to only count the downs because there were also those wonderfully good times that obviously made you want to marry that person in the first place. but that’s just my opinion. but divorce isn't really in my vocabulary because as a romanticist i believe that you should only marry your true love only when your ready and when you do that divorce isn't even realistic. in my opinion marriage is the commitment of two people that love each other unconditionally. but if that's only me than that's fine. i guess everyone interprets marriage differently.
friends ::sigh:: they are hard to find, more hard to leave, and the most hard to forget.
1. Fight for and with them
They are the ones that are the most honest with you.
2. Be honest with them. Honesty is everything.
3. Be there for them when they need you or just when they're alone. So that they won't be and neither will you.
They are the ones that drive you crazy with drama and your just compelled to help.
4. Help them then drive them crazy with all your drama.
5. Accept them for who they are, hands down no questions asked.
They are the ones that comfort you when you have a break up and convince you that the guy is scum and it was good that you broke up with them first.
6. Comfort and cheer them up. Help them get over anything.
They are the ones that look up to you or you look up to them.
7. Be a good friend and not a bad influence. You shouldn't pressure them to do anything they clearly don't want to do.
They are the ones that come to you mad and jealous over a girl/boy they think is a danger to their relationship. And you go to them likewise.
8. DON'T flirt with your friend's boy/girlfriend.
They are your family. Even though you hate hem sometimes, you know you can count on them.
9. Love them. Cherish them. Care for them.
And last but not least. They are your sanity. A cure from the horrible world and beyond.
10. DON'T LOSE THEM.
ok, so lets say you go out with this guy right, and he got you pregnant. now this same guy is on Facebook and someone you know posts a love letter saying "I am in love with you. I am tired of being your every blue moon *@$#%$." what would you do? how would you react?
i'm sure you just want to beat that someone down, right? now i'm not saying thats everyone but in this case thats the deal.
at a Clayton county school, two teachers fought, and when i say fought i mean hair pulling, nail scratching, punching, slapping and all that good stuff fought, over a male teacher that also works at the school.
honestly, i'm not all that shocked that that could and would happen. i'm shocked i didn't hear or read anything about the male teacher and what he had to say about this. but that's besides the point.
it really isn't that serious to where you have to take something as personal as that and bring it to school with a classroom full of middle schoolers.
i say what happens on/in a social network at home should stay on/in in social network at home. and i also say that all social networks shouldn't be blamed for their stupid mistake.
like a very wise teacher said just the other day, "there is nothing wrong with social networking, it's what people do with it that make it wrong." well however she said it, thats what she meant. i think, again besides the point.
the point is IT REALLY ISN'T THAT SERIOUS!
social networking does have some really good points to it, like...
unfortunately, i too, have a facebook, myspace, bebo, black planet, tagged, and all those other ones, but as i know now, i really don't give a hoot. i couldn't care less about them. i don't even remember the last time i checked any of those. LOL!
to me, it's just become a problem and a problem i, quite frankly, feel i don't need. but hey, thats just me.

- it helps you to keep connected with people from all around the world and with your friends just around the corner and such
- it can help you promote a business/ career
- sometimes it gives you something to do, i guess
- and last but not least you can stay in touch with this ever changing world and help you to develop a more open mind, internationally (if that sounds right) ::sarcasm, i think:: well if you let it

Yes, of course teens are pregnant. Each and every year, more teens are. Approximately one-third of young women in the United States become pregnant during their teens. Crazy? Yea, I know. I’m starting to think it’s a trendy new fad. I mean, come on, who wouldn’t want a little cute crying baby to take care of? It’s the new thing; all the cool kids are doing it, why not?
But the thing is, when you’re a teen and you get pregnant, there are a lot of things you don’t take into consideration. For example, how are you going to finish school? Is the father going to be involved in your child’s life? How are you planning to support this new child? These little breathing crying bundles we call babies, need food, love, clothes and other stuffs I’m sure teen mothers don’t usually think about.
Now I’m not saying that all teen pregnancies are intended because most of them aren’t and the only way to prevent that is to use protection! They don’t make two different types of condoms and birth control pills for nothing. A lot of people say when a teen gets pregnant it’s usually the females fault. I don’t necessarily believe this because it takes two to make a child. The ladies shouldn’t be blamed for everything. Both people should know better and what they are getting themselves into when they have sex. Just because it’s legal to have sex at sixteen doesn’t mean you absolutely have to have sex at sixteen. And you shouldn’t let anyone talk you into anything you don’t think you’re ready for.
The point to this whole entire thing is: DON’T DO ANYTHING YOUR NOT READY FOR! TEENS YOU’RE YOUNG AND FREE, LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOU! YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CHILDREN IN YOUR TEENAGE YEARS! JUST DON’T DO IT! ! !
action. adventure. romance. suspense. paranormal activities. not this time, but trust me-you DON"T want to know about those. no, this time, once upon a time, in the once magical wonderful place, Soul Kiss, Lloyd came to my parents store.(Which, unfortunately, they don't have anymore ::sniff sniff::) But we did meet Lloyd there. Me da also met other people like, Jessica Simpson and John Meyer*sp*, Common, Ceelow Green, and this guy named Taylor Crieg. While I've only met Lloyd it was still very fun.
Trina, a co-worker, my older sister, and me with Lloyd Jan. 5, 2005 at Soul Kiss.
My little brother and Lloyd's older brother played chess. I can't remember who won.
Historically, various states listed the act as a felony, but all were reluctant to enforce it. By 1963, six states still considered attempted suicide a crime (North and South Dakota, Washington, New Jersey, Nevada, and Oklahoma that repealed its law in 1976). By the early 1990s only two US states still listed suicide as a crime, and these have since removed that classification. In some U.S. states, suicide is still considered an unwritten "common law crime," as stated in Blackstone's Commentaries. As a common law crime, suicide can bar recovery for the family of the suicidal person in a lawsuit unless the suicidal person can be proven to have been "of unsound mind." That is, the suicide must be proven to have been an involuntary, not voluntary, act of the victim in order for the family to be awarded money damages by the court. This can occur when the family of the deceased sues the caregiver (perhaps a jail or hospital) for negligence in failing to provide appropriate care. Some legal scholars look at the issue as one of personal liberty. According to Nadine Strossen, former President of the ACLU, "The idea of government making determinations about how you end your life, forcing you...could be considered cruel and unusual punishment in certain circumstances, and Justice Stevens in a very interesting opinion in a right-to-die raised the analogy. The rate of teenage suicide in the United States remains comparatively high in the 15 to 24 age group with 3,971 suicides in 2001 and over 132,000 suicide attempts in 2002, making it the third leading cause of death for those aged 15 to 24.
Teen Suicide. The first thing that normally comes to your mind when you hear or read about something like this would be, "Why?" And then you'd probably call them stupid, but something people have to realize is that everyone is not the same. Everyone is not treated the same. Everyone doesn't feel the same. Everyone doesn't go through the same things you might go to or handle it the same for that matter. So for you to call or say that something is stupid is closed-minded and unfair. You have to understand the circumstances that those people go through. Most causes of teen suicide are: disharmony in the family, unhealthy or abusive relationship or break-up, alcohol or drug abuse, feelings of anger and guilt, physical or mental disorders, poor academic performance, sibling rivalry, history of suicide within close circle, experience of a personal loss, peer pressure, and the inability to handle hardships due to low energy and depression.
People think that depression and suicidal thoughts can be cured by using "happy pills" and/or counseling, which is not always or necessarily the case because you can’t cure it unless you get over or solve your reasons of being depressed, not covering it up with pills and counseling.
I can’t believe attempted suicide used to result in a felony. I believe in natural rights, which should include that you belong to yourself, your body and mind. I believe it’s not right for the government to make laws that restrict you from doing what you want with your life. So I’m glad that most states didn’t enforce it. And I agree with Nadine Strossen.
In my opinion, the rate of suicide has been increasing because of several factors. Have you turned on the T.V? Listened to the radio? Heard the gossip going around school, going around anywhere? Have you surfed the internet? Society today, I think, is just pressure on teens. Pressure but in a way people don’t sometimes see. For example, I know you guys have seen this before, another student in your school isn’t “up to date” on the latest fashion or he/she can’t afford it, or that student isn’t really skinny, or that student wears glasses, and he/her classmates are talking about them, verbally abusing them(calling them names among other things), and just brutally “bashing” them. How do you think he/she feels? Do you ever stop them from continuing? Or do you just laugh and watch from the side lines? I know your probably saying, “No, I tell them to stop.” Or “I wouldn’t do that.” But be serious. Though you may be saying that, you know you have. And this person being “bashed” just feels horrible. I know because I used to be that person. And because of that I now have low self-esteem and confidence, and I used to be suicidal. It’s just the pressure of wanting to fit in, to be cool, or whatever. It’s like it’s somehow programmed into others brain that tells them that you have to be this way or that way to be pretty or beautiful or handsome and when you don’t fit in to that, people tend to notice whether it be in a good way or not. Teen suicide is the result to that. And I really dislike for people to say something is stupid because they don’t understand it and they don’t take the time to actually understand it.
