Punisher 2

2008-12-05T20:37:00.000-08:00

I love the first Punisher movie. It was awesome. The main character really made the movie in my opinion. I was looking forward to seeing the second part until I found out that they changed the main character. It still looks like it will be entertaining, but the thrill has diminished.

Circle time

2008-11-21T08:05:00.000-08:00

Usually during circle time it's like pulling teeth with our class. The same group of people give their comments about the reading. But the music assignment was different. Nobody could keep their mouth shut. Everyone wanted to voice their ideas and inform us about how their choice of music reflects them. None of the other subjects were boring, but music sparked a sudden interest in most of the class.

SCARED!!!!!!!!!

2008-10-28T16:21:00.000-07:00

I was driving to school Monday morning, when I heard an enormous BOOM! I was terrified because I thought I had ran over something. When I found out I didn't, I though my tire was going flat. But it wasn't that either. Everytime I would brake, I would hear that noise. I decided to go home because I was not sure what it was. Then the noise just stopped. I thought everything was alrite, but when I tried to stop I couldn't. My brakes were gone!! I was incredibly scared. I don't know how I managed to get home without brakes, but I did. At first I was hesitant about missing school. But I'm glad I decided to go home because if I would have went all the way to Kendall, there is no way I would be still here today.

Saw V

I cannot wait to go see SAW V tomorrow. I might get a little scared and freaked out but it is all in fun.

Discrimination

2008-10-10T20:05:00.002-07:00

I am a hostess at a restaurant. Everyday I go through the same thing. The servers beg and plead for me to seat them "good tables." "Good tables" are white people. At first i was not bothered by it, but now it is irritating and offensive. It is true that some black parties do not tip well. But it is not because of the service, they just don't have enough money for a tip. Regardless of what they leave you, they should be treated with the best service. Just because some black people have been "cheap" does not mean that ALL blacks are like that.

Its official...I'm a loser

2008-10-03T08:01:00.000-07:00

I completely forgot that I had to turn in a hard copy of my revised essay. I remembered about criterion, but i forgot the other part. I have always been a forgetful person. I have to tried to use organizers, planners, and agendas.But I just end up forget ting to look at them at the end of the day. I need to pull it together.

Poetry

2008-10-02T12:40:00.000-07:00

I am looking forward to learning more about poetry. Prof.Alessandri mentioned it on the first day and I still have not forgotten about it. I have always been a huge fan of poetry. I did not realize that there were so many rhyme schemes,rules, and patterns to poetry until last year in my english class. I want to learn more so I can improve my poetry!

New friends?!?!?!...

2008-09-24T17:20:00.000-07:00

I have never met this many nice people in my life. I am always the one to smile at people or try to initiate small talk with strangers, but it seems that everybody is nice in college. People I have never met before walk up to me and start conversation. It destroyed my fear of going to college and not knowing what to expect. Each day I become more comfortable at school. I think that I have met genuine people that could possibly be my friends for the rest of my life. Everyone is
kindhearted. I have gotten positive feedback from so many different strangers. I am enjoying my college experience so far.

Mourning

2008-09-17T13:59:00.001-07:00

You should cherish everyone that is significant in your life because tomorrow is never promised. If you have any animosity between you and your loved ones, I suggest you end it today. I did not and I feel tremendously guilty. I never had a chance to tell him that I loved him for the last time. Some days are better than others. I think about the good times and then out of nowhere I burst into tears. But I think crying is healthy. I just wish there was something I could have done or said. I just saw him two weeks ago. Why didn't I see the pain in his eyes? Why didn't he reach out to me? These questions constantly run through my mind. And I will never know the answers. That is why I hope that everyone who reads this blog will appreciate everyone that they love.

Under construction

2008-09-17T13:59:00.000-07:00

When you are in high school, you think you know everything. Well at least I did. I thought I knew everything there was to know about being a mature adult.But the few weeks I have been in college, I am starting to realize that I am not who I thought I was. In fact, I have come to the realization that I am a work in process. I can never know everything about myself or life because there will always be more to learn. I think that who I am should solely be based on how I feel. Not how others perceive me.

Identity

2008-09-16T19:39:00.000-07:00

I believe identity stems from personal belifefs. Your culture and surroundings can influence your identity, but I don't think that defines who you are. I know many people who are considered different because they don't meet the status quo of their background. Your identity should be your morals and how react to certain things. It shouldn't be based on the media to say what is right and what is wrong.

frustrated

2008-09-09T18:03:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile since I wrote an essay, and I'm having a hard time doing the homework. I can't think of another idea to support my opinion and it's working my nerve. It's kind of ironic that I have writer's block and we just discussed it in class.

SPOKEN WORD

2008-09-03T20:10:00.000-07:00

ESCAPING THIS PAIN THAT I'VE BEEN HOLDING FOR SO LONG
LETTING GO OF ALL MY INHIBITIONS
CHALLENGING THOSE WHO DOUBTED ME
GIVING UP ALL MY INSECURITIES
RISING ABOVE THE REST
PUTTING MY CONFIDENCE TO THE TEST

ALLOWING MY CRYING DAYS TO FADE AWAY
I'M STARTING TO APPRECIATE LIFE FOR WHAT ITS WORTH
I LIVE EVERYDAY AS IF IT WERE MY LAST
BECAUSE TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED
RISING ABOVE THE REST
PUTTING MY CONFIDENCE TO THE TEST
I NOW LOOK FORWARD TO MY FUTURE
EXCITED TO ENCOURAGE THOSE IN DESPAIR
KNOWING THAT I CAN BE THEIR ROCK
IF NO ONE IS THERE
THAT ENCOURAGES ME TO PUSH FORWARD
AND NEVER LOOK BACK
EMPOWERING MYSELF TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON
FAITH IN MYSELF IS WHAT KEEPS ME GOING
SLOWLY LEARNING TO LOVE EVERY ASPECT OF ME
ACCEPT THAT I WILL NEVER BE PERFECT
REALIZING THAT EVERYONE WON'T LIKE ME
BUT TRYING TO GAIN PEOPLE'S ACCEPTANCE IS NO LONGER MY CUP OF TEA
THE ONLY OPINION THAT MATTERS IS MINE
IF I DON'T BECOME THE MOST POPULAR PERSON I'LL BE FINE
I CAN TRULY SAY THAT I LOVE MYSELF
RISING ABOVE THE REST
PUTTING MY CONFIDENCE TO THE TEST
