Why don't you rebel? Rebel- Lauryn Hill. Ok so today was a mixture of good and bad news. Let's start with the bad, I'd rather end on a good note. =) So I go to work today...and I'm not on the roster. WTF! Yo if they mess with my schedule again I swear someone is going to get beat. I told Mike the guy who makes the schedule I wasn't gonna be here this weekend so put me on for Mon, Tues, and Thurs. I saw him put it on the computer. But no I get a call yesterday askin me where was I...I was scheduled to go in at 2PM. Um..hello.. no, I was not. So it's two days I don';t get paid for. As for good news..I GOT MY REPORT CARD..and how very sexy it is. All A's and a B. WHAT!!!!!!!! *pops collar* Academic and Attitude Honor Rolls...holllaaaaaaaaaaaa. Sweet Sweet Victory is MINE! My dad was like "Youre hooptie is now upgraded to a sedan!" I was like "that's whats upppp !" I wonder WHEN I'm going to go get my car...hm.. Ohh I gotta show you guy what I bought for my iPod yesterday. It's a fuckin shield...literally..lmao  It has two layers of plastic and rubber to protet the iPod. So basically...I can throw it at a wall...drop it down stairs..and nothing will happen. Why they didn't invent this before my bros GF's cat knocked my old one down the stairs..I will never know..but its here and i bought it...and i LOVES it. but um now..they're only makin the color iPods..so i dunno wtf ima do when i need a new battery.. ugh problems, problems, and more problems. ill just save my pennies and i guess buy a iPod photo one day.. *sigh*  I bought this today at The Gap. On sale $6.99..Oooh I'm good. A pink sequined belt..it's real pretty. I like it. They had it in grren and blue but I have alot of reds, and pinks so..this was the smartest bet. =) I'll see u ppl laterrrr ------------------------ i just read this old letter written to Essence magazine by Janet Jackson called, I, Janet and it was probably the most honest, empowering, and intelligent thing my eyes have come across. Y'know everyone says "Oh, celebrities are rich, and all they do is make their music and spend money". Though true, they are very wealthy, and they spend their money on lavish and luxurious things, and alot do have no brains at all, there are a few people (yes, I'm calling them people, because they're human beings just like the rest of us) out there who don't have that facade. Thye might have a role they play, but few admit it. Few admit that they are criticisizing of themselves, few admit that they have problems, probably (not trying to sound like I would know..I obviously wouldn't but from reading and alot of media research-) because theres a barrier there, separating them from who they were before the attention, and who they are now with money and fame. As much as people would call it BS, money and fame is an enormous pressure. Yea, you're able to live a fabulous materialistic life, but it's true when people say "Money doesn't buy happiness". You can easily lose sight of who you are, thinking you have to live up to a flawless, perfect slate of a human being because of the media, because of the money, because you have so many loyal and loving fans who look up to you. I don't think I've seen more then a handful or two, artists who have admitted to their public that, they are, they have to be, two different people, and the hardest person to be is their trueself. Reading this letter written to Essence, in my opinion, you're able to gain a whole new respect for the person (Janet). Not only because she's being brutally honest about herself, but because she's (shocking to some people, why? I don't know) immensely intelligent. Some people aren't meant to speak at all, some aren't meant to make it far in life, some people aren't able to comprehend things to an extent where they can understand them, and make use of it (advice), but in this letter, it really shows the double life she suffered from for so long. Dealing for so long, with the struggle of trying to find herself, because she felt she had to be this flawless person because of what she was born into. Then later, realizing, speaking, dealing, healing, and admitting what she needed to stop hiding, the fact that she too had problems and even though she did, she was a beautiful person for doing so. For so long, she hated herself because of supressed feelings but came to the realization that, "Hey, I'm human, I'm like everyone else, and whether or not people like it, I'm not perfect." Who does that? Who puts themselves; their life out there like that for the free world to dive into and nit pick? A courageous, and strong person does. It's humility. What alot of people lack, being able to face their own imperfections and accept that, "Yes, I'm not perfect, but I'm happy with who I am" There's just so much shown about a person when they are able to do that.I, myself I don't know how honest it would be to say, "I know I'm not perfect, but I'm pleased with the person I'm turning out to be". People take years to figure out who they are, and to come to terms with themselves. Hell..I'm only 16. Who knows what will happen 10-15 years from now, I'm sure I'll have struggles, I'm sure I'll have depressions, I'm sure I'll face things that will take a brutally honest person to accept and to admit. But I truly, do feel that at this point, with all I've seen and the things I've been through, I've been given an opportunity at this age to examine myself to a certain extent, and feel proud of me. I refuse to take full credit for it though, because I've been inspired, and I've been guided. I'm appreciative, and I'm grateful that at a young age I was able to use my most extensive characteristics, being observant and being able to sit back and listen, and put them to use. I'm still learning, I know I am, I learn about myself everyday, but reading that letter, it really shows how easily, and how quickly you can lose yourself. You really have to be focused on you, and you have to try so hard to make the best choices that your heart and mind know how to make. I'm not saying go through life hesitantly, but go through life being aware that there might be a hole around the corner that you might fall into and strength, determination, and self love is the only way you're going to get out it. REPOST FROM o2/23/o5 ---------------------------- I just thought I'd repost that. I came across it in my archives and lived it all over again. BTW the letter is still in my links if you guys wanna read it. ^__^ "Mr. Intentional" is the greatest..especially if you listen to it..and link it to things that are going on right now. The G8 and the fight to eliminate the debt in all of the countries in Africa, which are, without doubt, the most poverty stricken countries in the world. All these politicians are so gung-ho about helping and aiding these countries...yet they pile these UNPAYABLE debts on them..there is NO way in this century or probably the next 1000 years that these countries can pay these debts. Yet a lot of the politicians are in our face, on tv saying how they are helping and sending their money over there..like we should be PROUD. Yeah..right. Because they might send their money there but they also are telling these countries they have to pay them back. What is the point? Because either way, these people are still losing their fight to prosper. These politicians play with you/us. They want us to see all this "good" they do, but they never tell of the catch in the situation. Yet, people wonder why the world is still like this, why children die every two seconds all over the world of starvation and malnutrition. Well because of Live 8 people know..which is a wonderful thing. But listening to the song "Mr. Intentional", and linking it with the current situation in the world...you understand these politicians intentions. They don't intend to really HELP. I mean, some do, but the majority intend to use the weaknesses of others and use their own wealth to use these people to gain their own recognition and build up their egos. Meanwhile, the people they use lose more than what they started out with. It's sick...and it hurts to know it. If you can..click the link in the upper right hand corner...and sign the G8 petition..to drop the $40 billion dollar debts. Support the cause...and stop "Mr. Intentional". ITS ME! yea yea i'm hurr....I have arrived. Even though, I never left! lol I been working people..well first I was finishing school..anxious..so anxious to finish this junior year..then I got my job at Chilis on the role...they got me slaving every weekend. Get this..they got me working this holiday weekend..AND MONDAY THE FOURTH! What the hell...like I have no life..y'know I would like to go to the beach in Long Island too y'know.. :( anywhoo.. Today wasn't so bad I made two new friends, Amber and Jen. They're in for training now but Amber is going to be a hostess so she was with me most of the day. They're nice people. Speaking of friends..I had a revelation. Yes, a revelation. I have a friend...and I know I have...wait let me clear this... A FRIEND. As in singular..lol but still one is better than the none I had. I mean I had aquaintances but no one who I could talk to forreal..and I realize I got that in Steph. *hugs* *throws up signs and poses* LMAO. OHH I GOTTA TELL YALL BOUT JOHN LEGENDS CONCERT! OMG! IT WAS SOOOOO *CODY VOICE* AWDACHAIN! And get this....he KISSED MY HAND! Yes....he KISSED my hand....*faints* He did all of his songs from his album and all his collaborations..
