Tribute

  I wanted to give tribute to my grandad.  He passed away March 20, 2011.  He was a very good man.  He encouraged everyone he knew to do better.  He always gave me money when I did good in school.  My grandad me be gone but he still is in my heart and I will always try and do my best to make him proud in haven.  The fact that hurts me the most is that I didn't even get to say goodbye to him and that it wont be the same when we have Easter dinner with out him there.  I will always miss how he wraps me up in his arms in a gentle but firm hug.  I really miss my grandad and I hope he Rest In Peace.

Lost Boys

   We watched a video in class about the Lost Boys. It was very sad to know that boys of all ages were basically kicked out of there house to go find somewhere better to live.  If I were a mom and my son would get killed for staying behind I would have him leave because I would want what is best for him.

   The Lost Boys stride to freedom was a long one.  Many died from starvation.  Some were eaten by crocodiles and lions.  In the end however the freedom they received was much greater than what they were used to. 

  If I were a Lost Boy I would be sad at first that I would never see my parents again but happy that my life would get better as time progressed.

Tsunami

    The earthquake in Japan caused a tsunami after which was very disaterous.  If I was in Japan I would be very scared.  I think us as citizens should help those in Japan cause if we were in the situation they were in we would want them to help us out.  As time goes on we should try to help them regain the land and houses they have lost.  I have a friend whose dad lived in Japan and he is okay but he was in the airport as the earthquake happened.  She told me that he is on his way home and I pray for her and her family everyday.

   Next time you think about family and problems you may want to think of those in Japan who have maybe the same problem but a little worse/

OH Egypt !

   In the new lately they have mentioned about the protest happening in Cairo. I think protesting is good but I would still go to work.  The fact that they now do not have a person ruling chaos will begin to erupt.  The military stated that Egypt might become a democratic country meaning that a vote will take place just like in the United States.  I feel as though Mubarak should've waited to step down until the people voted to see who they wanted to rule them.

   If i lived in Cairo I most likely would protest with them if I worked.  People say protesting doesn't work in many cases but so far it has done a good deed to the people of Egypt.  They have almost achieved there goal of better wages for work and better conditions.  I think we as the United States should support them in their time in protest and help them along the way get things to be better in there country.

Life !

     

       Life.  I been through a lot in my 16 years of living.  My mom said it can only get better from here one day when I had gotten into some trouble.  I will always remember her saying that cause at that point in my life I was in to deep.  Now I'm starting to see the light, but lately people who are supposed to be there for me have dug me deeper.  I am almost to the point of letting them go as friends because they obviously haven't figured out that I'm done with all the bull. 
     This morning my dad and I were talking about college and I made the comment "I can't wait to get out of Ohio."  He asked me why I was ready to leave so bad and I told him it was because there is nothing in Ohio that is making me become a better person.  He then told me that I haven't seen all of Ohio to know that.  He's right, but I feel like when it's time for me to go off to college I wont feel trapped and have all the problems that I have had.
       I already know what I am going to do with my life.  I'm going to go to New York or California for interior designing then go for business management.  I don't plan on getting married very early or having kids.  When I get out on my own I want to do things for me and not have to worry about how everybody else is feeling.  That may sound harsh, but I haven't had time to myself since I was in elementary school.
      I titled this blog life because life is something you only get once so live it like you'll die tomorrow.

Another Planet

     Another Planet is a new song by Jawan Harris featuring Chris Brown.  The song is talking about how Jawan is on another planet pretty much saying that has more swagger than any one.  I like this song because it has a good base line and the lyrics are catchy.  Also it is kid appropiate and not sexual like most songs these days.  It also has a tecchno pattern of music.  My style of music has changed a lot through out the new year.  I think if you are into hip hop, techno, or a good base line you should check Another Planet out and even look for the video.

Dah-De-Dah

       Music is a great way to express yourself.  Many people that the media seems to portray like pop music.  Sometimes people separate themselves with others because of the different music they listen too.  For example, my friends and I mostly listen to hip-hop and rap.  I know several people who actually hate hip-hop music and I never really understood why.
     I try to listen to different genres of music.  I actually like some pop, rock, and metal because they relate to my life in a way.  My all time favorite artist though is R&B singer Trey Songz.  Many people think of his songs as being sexually only and some of them are.  There are some songs that do express the pain that he fells and all of it comes out in his latest album Passion, Pain & Pleasure.  One song that has captivated me is Unfortunate. 
    Unfortunate talks about, in my own words, someone that has taken advantage of you and realizes how much they need you in the long run.  But you don't want to go through the pain that they caused you so your telling them how unfortunate it is that realized at the wrong moment that you needed them. 
     There is also another song that I really liked over the past year.  The song is Deuces by Chris Brown.  The song pretty much represents the fact that sometime you just need to say peace to someone that has caused you pain and move on with you life.
     Last year these songs came in great way for me to express myself.  I think everyone should express themselves in a way meaning most to them.
