saaaaave the earth, do this!

the world seems to be on this whole go green, get environmentally friendly kick. which isn't a bad thing. its just annoying to hear people talk about things like they really care when they actually never gave a damn. I personally recycle at my house, I'm actually the only one who actually takes it seriously, but now that our neighborhood has gotten these blue garbage bins to put all of our recyclables in, i really don't see the point in not recycling.
I've always been a fan of nature and thought we should work to preserve it, i mean theres so many beautiful things in the world, and its sad that people might not be able to witness them in the future, just because we are so careless with the way we live.

invisible

yeah i think we went over the whole invisible thing already...
i dont mind being invisible sometimes, i mean i kind of do it to myself so i can't really complain,
but its not always as a result of my actions. sometimes im just ignored, but thats life, and you have to find a way to make it work for you, or change it, like the man in Invisible Man and all his lightbulbs.
There are times when i would much rather be invisible, like when im in trouble.haha.

a book to read

i really enjoyed the books by Irvine Welsh, he has a bunch of books that are basically in a series, but you dont have to read them in "order" but they go together, there all themed about drug abuse and all that good stuff. Once you get past the weird terms in the book, its really good. It used a lot of words that refer to slang terms in the british language, but theres a handy dandy dictionary in the back of the book for these slang terms.

movie review

Lord of War.
i really liked this movie. it's an interesting portral of what really goes on in the world. Most of us don't even know whats happening in the next state, let alone what goes on the other side of the globe. The topic of guns and war is one that always has many strong opinions and its hard to look at the topic unbiasedly.

waaaatch it.

art review

art has been something i've had a passion for since i was a little kid.
there are many artists that i like and many types of art that i like ,
i think its hard to determine what is art and what isn't, because once we have rules on what is art and what isn't it becomes too limiting.
I think a lot of art now and days though doesn't have the same amount of thought put into it, its more of a scam in a way to just make something really fast and get money and fame.like terri from exit through the gift shop.

I really like banksy's art. I like the fact that he remains anonymous. and that the art is made solely for the purpose of art.to be looked at and thought about. i like his street art also because its not necessarily just mindless street graffiti, i mean, somethings are cool to look at but you dont actually know what it means or anything.

i enjoy street art.

we have rights

but most of us don't take advantage of them,
Our rights are very limited, or more so rights written on paper but the government can actually choose how things will play out. Big Brother is always watching.
It comparison to other countries, we have so many more advantages and rights, but we are so unappreciative.
even i am. i mean i wish i wasn't.but i wasn't.

It seems that people in america, spend more time looking how to limit our own rights, whether they be limiting gay rights, women's rights, rights concerning abortion, racial rights, etc.
we should be spending more time trying to get equal rights for everyone and expand more rights for the people and have the people have more power.

X is known.

Wrong.
X is unknown.
X is the unknown.
We want what we don't know,
we don't know what we want,
everybody wants what they can't have.

x marks the spot

X marks the spot,
it marks the spot of what is to be found,
but sometimes, after we find it, we realize it wasnt what we expected,
but i guess the let down is what makes it even better when you find what is worth it.

i know this means something

maybe everything isn't just a series of coincidences,
maybe it is fate,
or maybe it isn't.
but I personally, i like to notice the little things and try and put it all together.
maybe thats just wishful thinking.

Martin Luther King

Mister Martin Luther King is still a king. A philosopher king. He is still king for two reasons. One he was an incredibly interesting man, who had a great mission in plan, and two he died as a martyr.

the ultimate recipe

To be honest, I don't know what the ultimate recipe is. Most of the food i consume consits of ramen noodles, whatevers left in the fridge and doesn't have mold on it, or anything that's microwaveable. But I do know what the ultimate ingredient is. BACON. I love bacon.
There is no bad time for bacon, as a matter of fact, its always a good time for bacon. That's the awesome part of eating bacon, its good with everything, sweet, sour, savory, or just alone. I'd put bacon on everything.
bacon.bacon.bacon.<3 <3 <3

The perfect sandwich.

Good food review

I feel like most of our days are filled with mediocre meals, and we just eat whatevers in front of us, because everyone is in a big rush to get somewhere.
I think there are a ton of good restaurants everywhere, but my favorite place to eat, is a run down dinner in the middle of nowhere. I'm a truck drivers daughter, so I've eaten just about everywhere, but my all time favorite is sitting down in a both at a dinner and having some lady call me hun after she takes my order.
I'd choose a meal at a diner or a fancy smancy restaurant any day.

shoes

I love buying shoes. I am a woman, and I will admit it is one of my weaknesses. But I love being barefoot even more. Theres something about walking through the grass in the summer barefoot, that I just absolutely love.

winter winter winter

Winter can be one of two things.

Where you have happy warm feelings and smiles all around.

But either way it makes for damn good photography.

globalization. good or evil?

     The great debate about globalization. Is it good or is it evil? I think the answer differs depending on what side of the fence your standing on cause there are two sides to every story. In my opinion, there are some good points to globalization. It does bring job opportunities to other parts of the world, this sounds like such a good thing, but often times it is failed to be mentioned that these jobs come with terrible conditions, outrages hours, and an income that a panhandler makes more than. But some would like to argue that these people should be grateful for even that small amount of money, because they would be getting even less if it weren't fer the spreading of globalization. Not only does globalization bring job opportunities to these "under developed" countries. It destroys jobs for the natives of that country. Once globalization moves in, it becomes difficult for the little tea shop down the street to compete with Starbucks.

     The part of globalization I really don't understand is why is America so sure of its ways and is in such a hurry to push its ways down everyone else's throat. I mean in all honesty, everyone wants to say how developed America is, and we do have it pretty good out here, but at the same time, we are billions of dollars in debt, run by corrupt politicians, majority of the people are obese, foreclosure signs are the new for sale signs. So who's to say that our ways our really better than these "under developed" countries. Who let the deaf, blind, and dumb call the shots around here? And America takes  globalization as  a one way street. Everything is fine and dandy when other countries are accepting our ways, but America doesn't want anything to do with theres; unless it can somehow take their idea for there own and make mass profits off of it.

   The pros and cons of globalization can be argued back and forth for hours. But when it comes down to it, I think people forget that globalization is not just merely the spreading of businesses. It deals with people, and it affects their lives greatly. 

     I think we all need to refer back to the golden rule, treat others as you would like to be treated. But I guess I'm just not cut out to be a businessman. 

a classmate I am thankful for

I am thankful to have Gregory Stech in my class.
Why you may ask?
Well besides the obvious reasons like, his sense of humor, his ridiculous racial remarks, how he usually has food or gum, and his polish speaking skills. Then theres the fact that he's also a procrastinating slacker, who doesn't do his work... so I don't seem too bad in comparison.
(:

oh yes, this photo was necessary. 

a life of sports

     I wouldn't consider myself to be a sports fanatic, I don't follow baseball or football. In fact, it doesn't concern me much. I'm not on any sports teams either. Theres probably one sport that I actually stuck to and that is Tae Kwon-Do, which I have a second degree black belt in. There are many sports that I do find interesting, and that I would like to learn, and do plan on learning.

     I've always been a huge fan of the ocean and surfing. I have only surfed a few times in my life, but that is something that I plan on changing.

Base jumping, sky diving, and bungee jumping are all things I plan on doing soon.

Skateboarding and other BMX sports are also sports that appeal to me.

Parkours a sport I find especially cool because of how practical it can be.

     Maybe if I weren't such a procrastinator, or a slacker, these would all be sports that I were good at. My lack of involvement in sports isn't really because I'm lazy per say, there just seems to be a lack of time sometimes. Also a lack of funds.

A letter to Cormac McCarthy

     Dear Mister Cormac McCarthy,
I perused your book, The Road, and it was quite scary. It wasn't scary because of the things that happened in the book, but more of the fact that those things would probably happen if the world did come to a Apocalypse, but then again what isn't scary when you think about it. I think that some people would like to argue that humans would have more morals than that and such things wouldn't happen, but when in reality some pretty messed up stuff goes on in the world already, it's just censored out to make our days better.

How do I know what I know?

I know what I know through experience. 

I am who I am because of experience.

And I won't tell you who I am because of experience.

I could be wrong, with all my thoughts and opinions, but I wont think differently until i experience otherwise.

This is why everyone is different, because everyones experienced different things.

This is why I think we should all explore, see, experience and understand.

screw that office job.
