reflecting...

I guess i liked blogging. its away to express yourself and you have the freedom to talk about anything you wish. If your mad you can blog about who and what pissed you off and you may feel better about it later. If your happy you can blog about how good your day was. You can even use blogging as your way to get some advice on difficult situations. People will read your blog and comment giving you advice to help you as best they can. There is alot of positive things that can come from blogging.

Its a nice day out.....

Happy St. Patricks day kids, its a nice day out too right? I dont know whats up with every body and why when we get a little bit of good weather, people feel the need to act out and show off. The little kids in the neighborhood are all trying to fight eachother and all the adults are outside arguing with eachother very loudly. All of the gangsta's and hustla's are grouping up on the corners...its a mess. People are even acting a fool in school, I dont know how many arguments occured yesterday in SOTA. People need to get it together.

response to the chewing cocoa leaves

I dont think chewing the cocoa leaves should be illegal. It dosent seem to really be harming anyone or their health. The people of Bolivia use it ritually and religiously. Its a part of their culture and i believe it should be left alone because thats disrespectful to their lifestyle to take it away from them. And even if they do make it illegal, that doesnt mean people wont do it. Its the same with marijuana. Its supposed to be illegal but alot of people still use it.

Superlatives...

These senior year superlatives are becoming a problem. Nothings going to be correct. People arent voting according to who fits the description best. They are voting based on popularity or who thier friends are. I think its going to be a hot mess. People are going to be mad when we figure out who got what. Its going to be hillarious, i cant wait!

Women and violence responce.

I think the numbers for abused women are out of control. I for one dont understand why women tolerate the violence. They always fall into that role of being the weaker one against the male, not true. However, i think women take advantage of the fact that they can get away with alot more. Theres like an unwritten rule that men should never hit women, and i agree, but at the same time, if a girl is continuously beating on one of my little brothers, even after he's asked her to stop, i would hope he defends himself. Personaly, i wish a man would try to put his hands on me. Not only will i beat him down, but so will my daddy, my step-daddy, all of my uncles, all of my cousins, my lil brothers, my big sister.....&& besties. But i would never take advantage of the fact that im a woman.

Barbie response.

I personaly hate barbies and always have. My mom eventually stopped buying them for me cause she realized i was never going to be into them. Firstly because back in the day, you very rarely found an african american doll, and when you did she was really ugly. Barbie is supposed to be a childrens icon. Kids look at her as being perfect and how they should be. No one really looks like her, at least no one who hasnt had plastic surgery.

so unappreciated...would it hurt to say thank you?!

You know what pisses me off?...How i'm constantly doing everything i possibly can to help my friends and i never get a thank you. I help one friend with her life issues and i'm always there to talk and to be a shoulder to cry on. I also try to help this girl to get over something that i know is going to be an obstacle in her life later, when she has to live life on her own. You think i got a thank you from her...very rarely!
Another homegirl of mine only seems to be attracted to guys who eventually do her wrong. I seem to be good with sensing if they're bad or not. I always tell her if i think one is a cheater or if hes going to mistreat her. She doesnt listen to me at first, but eventually she investigates and finds out that im right, always. You think i ever got a thank you from her...No!
My other Best friend just seems to get into trouble all around. She used to mess with guys who would do her wrong and she never stood up for herself, so i would be the one cursing the guy out and telling him he should stay away from her. Then she found a boo that everyone else in the school had a crush on. And when some females so called themselves hating her because of it, i was the one waiting for them to say something to her so i could handle it. I was always trying to protect her. You think i got a thank you from her...Hell No! Actually, i got a big slap in the face (i guess im over it now).
This is where my problem comes in, I have a best friend whos always appreciated the little things i've done for her, but shes never actually, seriously needed my help, and finally when she needed me, i let her down. I didnt protect her, and she would have appreciated me for it. Well, i'm here now and i'm sorry best friend.
