flat bread company :)

yum yum :) reading this made me so hungry even though i totally just ate a burger and fries lol haha. i honestly wish i could write like this. i mean like with so much detail and enthusiasm about the topic. the way this writer described the ingredients on the pizza was mezmorizing. no joke. and i loved the way she made it clear that there should be more apetizers and maybe more flat bread options on the menu yet still managed to compliment on every single option they already had. i just have one question about the review...is this what ours is suppose to look like? im not sure. but i like how it is sweet and to the point, with the about the raitings thing on the bottom as a guidline to how she feels about the certain topics as well as a summary...loved it. thought it would be boring but it wasn't :)

naira has no gender

so i did go to the play :) it was awesome,, but i didnt really understand it. i realize that we have an advantage over the other students with this play because we actually got to meet the writter...which was awesome !!!!!!! but i still didnt really understand the play..i know thats probably stupid but i cant help it. the show was sold out tho. like i got there and there was no line so i swipped my little card and sat down and ten minutes later there was seriously NO SEATS available. sarah did an awesome job with her part and i am gonna go see her in dracula as well which i am super excited about. but as far as this play, i have problems understanding things that are not actually from our culture but hey ill try harder.

college :) or :( ?

so college has so far been an experience for me. i never knew that it would be so hard to apply myself without my parents by my side pushing me to go to class and do my homework. so honestly i have seriously failed the first semester of my freshman year, and it really sucks :( ha. these two classes are the only classes that i actually even go to anymore. partying has definitely got the best of me. ive never been exposed to some of the things i have been exposed to this semester. partying is pretty much all i do. which is very sad. i miss classes because im too tired to get up and go to them and i dont do my homework because i would rather go party than set in my room and study. i have learned a very valuable lesson this semester and it is that i have to bust ass next semester to catch up. no i wont be here at tech next semester but i will still be in college and working my but off to eventually come back...no more partying thru the week :)

free writes

1. so....im not exactly sure what to write about...pop culture...i have no idea how that relates to me really because i have never done anything really interesting...last october i did dance on the opry tho...it was alot of fun....i met the guys that wrote rocky top and i met jamie johnson and jim ed brown and marty stewart and carrie underwood...meeting her was nothing special trust me..but it was awesome getting to dance on the stage of legends where country music started....and i know most ppl dont like country but whatev i dont like rock so there ya go ...anyways...while i was backstage you would think ppl would b professional but guess again....its just like any other concert....everyone is drunk and takes nothing very seriously....walking down the hall ways there was buckets of ice with bottles down in the ice haha....so yeah...im not sure if this is exactly what andy is lookin for but this is what came to mind when i thought of a pop culture experience...peace :)

2. okay so now i for real dont know what to talk about....oh wait..here is some pop culture for you...michael jackson...best entertainer EVER. i love his songs and so do you so dont deny it...i was at work when i found out he died...im not gonna lie i was sad....he was a part of my childhood just like mickey mouse and scooby doo. i remember dancing or trying to dance to his songs in the car when i was little lol ha i thought i was so freakin cool...to know that he will not put any more concerts or no more songs and dance moves will come from him makes me sad :( i doubt i will actually write about this....but anyways its here.

3. okayy so im going back a few years now to late elementary school early middle school....think about the singers and groups we were into then....brittney christina, backstreet boys, nsync, 98 degrees, and the spice girls, dont lie, i know you listened to them unless your parents didnt allow you to listen to the radio...gosh i remember all these ppl haha and now to look back and look at them nowbrittney is a nut case christina is still good...boy bands haha yeah thats a funny one...and spice girls,, posh,, soccer star husband...we watched them grow up :) and even tho we dont listen to them AS MUCH anymore...its still cool to think about all the good times we had listening to them...sometimes i wish i was still that young, with no worries, school was simple, everything was easy...oh well gotta grow up sometime :)

mick jagger

i actually find this very amusing because we are all guilty of imagining things in our head that will never be true and could never be true. im sure everyone will agree with me on that one..we all have fantasies that we know will never come true but just the same, we cant let them go. now, to completely change directions. this story really makes me think about my personal past...not that i chased around the stones haha but that i have lied to my parents and gone out to do stuff that they would never approve of. and getting so caught up in the fun that i was having that even in the very back of my mind i knew i should do the right thing and go home and take care of myself but i didnt let other ppl see that it bothered me as much as it really did so they never noticed....and it didnt take the realization that a fantasy was just that, a fantasy, to get me to my senses, it just took the realization of a very good friend that i really couldnt handle myself anymore and needed to go home where i could be taken care of and safe,, i have grown up a lot since then and not to say that i dont still get into trouble,, just that its always good to have someone around that will keep you on track when your too caught up in the fun to do it yourself.

the contrast between fantasy and reality is very big and obvious as we all know, even though we cant help ourselves. in this text she describes some of the parties she went to while in high school but also mentions how she really felt afterwords,, this shows maturity because had she still been this age she would have never admitted that she really wanted to go home she would have left that part out to make what she was doing seem "glamorous" and more fun then what it actually was.

personality

so,, i just took my personality tests and i found out that i am a ESFJ: extaversion, sensing, feeling, judgement. although i have no clue what it means i guess it is good to know. i also took the political test thing and i have no idea how to read the results so no clue about that either, however i didnt realize that i felt the way i did about certain subjects such as abortion, how our economy is, how our environment is, and what is taught in our schools, and how comfortable and normal it is for ppl to talk about sex openly now as opposed to ten or twenty years ago. sometimes it does go a little too far but oh well, whatever floats your boat i guess, anyways here is my questions answered

1. do you have a spiritual belief or practice? yes i do :)

2. is belief itself a problem? i dont think so

3. how important is tolerance of differing beliefs in regard to this topic? very

4. do you believe in divine being or higher power? yes i do

5. how do you relate (or not) to this conept of a higher power? i believe that there i a God and a Holy Spirit

6. what is the relationship between the physical and spiritual world? this is a hard question to answer because to me the answer is very simple....belief and trust

7. how important (or not) is spirituality to your personal identity? it use to be more important than it is now, which is not a good thing, but i still put my spiritual beliefs before anything else

8. what is your attitude to people whose viewson spiritual matters differ from your own? everyone has their own beliefs because of how they are raised, but i dont discrminate against ppl who have different beliefs i am just very curious

9. do you believe yur spiritual beliefs continue to change over time or generally stay the same? for me personally my beliefs have changed as i have gotten older and understood things enough to make my own assumptions about things.

10. what is the importance of change or its lack? i think that the importance is that if your are lacking overtime then you are just making it harder for yourself to be put back on the right track someday when you are mature enough to realize the mistakes you made.

us and them

so iv just read us and them and it really makes me think about the way we look at ppl. when we see someone who is a little, or a lot, different first: we feel pitty for them and we sometimes try to defend them in our minds but we never really get to know them or try to understand them. Second: we find a reason to not like them and to not be there friend, maybe because they are different or maybe because we just dont want to make the effort.
Then for me persnally I look back and i try to find that reason that i once disliked someone and its hard for me to remember because i didnt really have a reason in the first place because they were just a little different.
I do think us and them is a good story beause it gives a sort of insight to how we think and judge ppl aon a dail basis.
so this question in the book asks what is the signifigance of the two hand written signs from halloween, one saying dont be greedy, to which the charactors get frustrated because they think that they have a right to the candy. the other sign says my candy keepout, this just shows how hipocrytical we can be because of course we dont want other ppl to be greedy but to most ppl its just second nature to be greedy.
so, i hope i did this right, just blogging about what i thought the story was about and how it affected me and made me think.....enjoy :)
