      so where was i?. . .
    ok so where was I yesterday...oh yea..love, and the selfishness of todays society and government. I'll start with the 2nd topic first..

    I watched Oprah Monday (yesterday) and saw the most horrifying, most sickening documentary ever. It was so sad, and so traumatic...it was about the Democratic Republic of The Congo..and the women that live there. The things these women go through, every single day of their lives. These women are raped and beaten, and live in fear. One women was raped by more then 10 men at one time and after they beat her, they raped both of her daughters, and made her husband watch. How sick is that? People are unbelievable these days. It made me really sick to my stomach that these women are ignored, that the situation over there gets no help whatsoever. Different militia groups attack and fight through the villages of the innocent and thousands die every year. Back in 1994, more then 1 million innocent lives were massacred in the fight between the guerillas. That's horrific... and to think society turns a blind eye to these people...and Oprah rarely ever does it, but she pulled the race card on this one. And she was so right for doing so..because it's true..this is Africa. People have the mindset that the individuals over there are savages anyways...so why not let them find their own "animalistic" wars. People don't look into helping Africa, besides for AIDS, and that's because AIDS effects the WORLD in masses..whereas no one in America is directly effected with this situation..so it's not as important.

    America looks to jump on any heroic effort it can...take the tsunami for example..not saying the people who've perished and who have suffered there do not deserve attention and support, of course they do. But the Bush administration sucked every bit of "look at us we're helping out" and even made statements like "maybe the view on America will change when others see our commitment to this effort"....so what...you're in this to make you guys look better? What happened to doing this with heart and dedication..hoping to really touch people and effect a mass? Not making yourself look good..Selfishness..that's all it is. And the American people are not educated enough on the severity or even what the hell is going on in these places. People will be shown not even 30 seconds of a commercial on an effort to possibly help these people...and turn around from the TV and go out and get some Taco Bell or other luxury we Americans have the ability to enjoy.

    I for one..donated $45 of my own money this morning to the cause..It's really all I have but it's something. If you'd like to donate visit : www.womenforwomen.org . Even if it's a small amount...it's something for the people over there, who at the moment only survive on 80 cents a day..

    Another thing on my mind..well..another "issue"...lol Love. Maybe I think too hard after certain things happen...maybe I even question too much..but each and everything I get myself into..I get pickier, and find myself becoming selective. I guess you can call me a hopeless romantic..I fall fast..and hard..and end up losing what I thought I had. Relationships have sort of become illusions to me...they seem to be there one moment, and before I can understand what's going on, or what I'm in it for, it's gone. Not to say I can never make up my mind or I'm unfaithful..I'm most definately not. I'm the type..If I'm with you, I'm with only you.Period. No if's, and's, or buts about it. What I think is going on...I compare everything to those 4 years of my life I spent with one person...4 years that I thought were immaculate..and really weren't. REALLY, weren't. But we won't get into that..the point of bringing it up is, it kind of made me speculate when I did get into a relationship afterwards..y'know what I mean? The old, "What if ?" I even know, you can't live like that, you can't carry old baggage into something new...you just can't live like that. But it always seems to make it's way back into my mind. I guess I really haven't had that "appreciation" rock there...it was never really made clear in post relationships..that's what I think I fear.. If I don't feel appreciated enough? Because eventually everything will fall apart and you wonder if the love was ever really there?..was the connection real?..etc. Hell, you might even blame yourself for being "blind". I hate to think about things like that..because it's truly a burden...and it ruins things...I still have time to work on my being open-minded I guess..

    That's a New Year's Resolution...staying open-minded, and becoming more open-minded.


      .....
    ugh im so mad..i just wrote a long entry about ...love..and selfishness of the US government and society and my computer decided to close internet explorer. WTF! this shit is most definately going out the window. >_< in the meantime..g'niite & sweet dreams J. ;)

    lol!

      speechless..no school.
    no school tomorrow..according to the television!

    thank God bc I am sore from shoveling all that damn snow anyways...they made me shovel this pile of snow taller then me -__- and a plow came by and pushed it all back in place. i was pissed..so i went inside. damn township plows..

    *turns on "dangerously in love"*
    how sweet is that song? ::sigh:: beautifully written too..

    baby i love you
    you are my life
    my happiest moments
    were imcomplete if you werent
    by my side
    youre my relation
    and connection to the sun
    with you next me
    theres no darkness i cant overcome
    you are my rain drops
    i am the seed
    with you and God whos my sunlight
    I'm blooming
    Grown so beautifully
    baby I'm so proud
    Proud to be your girl
    you make the confusion
    go all away from this cold and misty world..

    i am in love with you,
    you set me free
    i can't do this thing called life
    without you here with me
    cause im
    dangerously in love with you
    i'll never leave
    just keep loving me
    the way i love
    you loving me..

    and i know you love me
    love me for who i am
    cause years before i became who i am
    baby you were my man
    i know it aint easy,
    easy loving me
    but i appreciate your love and dedication
    from you to me
    and later on in my destiny
    i see myself having your child
    i see myself being your wife
    and i see my whole future in your eyes
    the thought of all my love for you
    sometimes makes me wanna cry
    i realized all my blessings
    im grateful to have you by my side...

    everytime I see your face
    my heart smiles
    everytime it feels so good
    it hurts sometimes
    created in this world
    to love
    to hold
    to feel
    to breathe
    to live you
    dangerously in love...

    Whew! that song is amazing. feeling like that is amazing too...not everything works out tho..hm..in the end youre left to forget, and move on with life. That's what life is all about right? Getting up, getting over, andwalking straight through to a new you. It always seems as if there's an obstacle though..of course..they teach you a thing or two when you confront it..but what do you do when the obstacle is worth getting through..but you're tired of climbing? Sit back and let it flow? Or do you keep a persistant attitude? Somethings I'll just never figure out..I've seemed to re-think this question lately... : /


      snow snow snow
    it's snowing!..alot actually..its only been about 2 hours since it started and there's a ton of it. http://auction4.comton.com/member/osokreativ/Picture1.jpg hmph..it's not supposed to stop either, til sunday night..it's gonna be a travesty by then.lol Looks like I'm stuck inside then..I'm gonna have to pull out a bunch of my DVD's and chill up in my room..something I need to do..Haven't really sat up in there since it's been re-done. :) And I have to work on my portfolio and print out a bunch of graphics and draw three portraits..Now I have the time to finally do them. *sigh* I hope theres NO school Monday..infact..they should just cancel school all next week and give everyone A's on finals. *cheers*

    That would help my Chemistry grade..I have to admit though..I got a 98 on my test I took Friday..what! It was on some new thing we did on acids? But I did really good and that should atleast boost me up three grades hopefully to a C-. As of now that's my only class that's low. I got a an A- in History, A in Spanish and B- in Math..suprisingly. lol Atleast...before finals..my math grade is a B-..oh well..final can't bring me down more then a C.

    Y'know what I watched last night..this 20/20 special with Latoya Jackson.. her exhusband really beat the mess out of her! I felt so bad for her..not only did he beat her he locked her in closets and shit and if she didn't do what he said, he threatened to kill Michael and Janet. -_- What nerve..! He wouldve had a gang of folks hunting his ass down if people knew. lol Watching it gave me the urge to go burn his shit down..just to dust.. The things people will do for attention and popularity in press..hmph!

    Anyways...I aint got nothin to say anymore.lol w/l
      ..everytime i see your face baby..
    i'd like to take this space out and dedicate it to Jason, yes, Jason. He's a new friend of mine..a very sweet, & genuine new friend of mine. He's special enough to get a section of this site dedicated to him, so I guess you get the point. I'm very happy that we met. ;) hope this suits you. lmao
      new again.
    mm..doesn't that picture look scrumptious? i think so..lol anywho..THE WEEK IS OVER! yay! finally. Hopefully we get the 2ft of snow that expected...so I don't have to go to school Monday. I need an extra day to rest before I take all these finals Thursday and Friday..PLUS my chemistry teacher is giving a quarterly on Tuesday..which covers the whole 2nd semester of crap we did...*cries*. I hope I do good on that...so i can atleast get rid of two or three of them F tests... I don't think I was meant to be in honors Chemistry..listen to me..i don't think..hmph..I wasn't supposed to be in there period. there we go. ugh..i'll bbl..i gotta hop in the shower..-going to see "Coach Carter" tonight. ttyL.
