Ok, so I know that many of you read my blog simply for the essays and things that I put in here, but it now has another purpose added... Duh duh dummmm. I am going to use this to chronicle my adventures in temping for extra money to save for my trip to Forks, WA next April with my friend, Janice. Wat up bitches! Lol, yeah...

Hoping that she was on fire or some other horrid form of slow and excruciating torture she sat abruptly in bed. As she glanced over her body and sheets, the lack of hungry flames seemed to be more like hell than heaven. Now that she was fully awake she had to deal with the mental anguish, the

Image for a moment I was telling you about a dream I had last night. I was flying above the clouds, farther and farther away from my home. This causes me to wonder... What does this dream mean? Does it have any purpose? I decided to find the answers by studying oneirology and using the three main dream theories. The most unusual of these theories is Dream ESP. Dream ESP is just

As a side note, before I began this class, I was one of the many people who just wished on stars. I loved the night sky, so I was interested, but never enough to take a class on the subject. So, when I decided to broaden my horizons, I thought that an astronomy class would be the perfect thing to absolve my curiosity. I had no idea how much work I was in for, or how over my head I would be.

On January 1, 1997 a new set of television standards was introduced to the public, TV Parental Guidelines. (1) While these ratings do not completely prevent a child from watching something outside their maturity level, it does help parents to know and understand what their children are watching. The “TV Parental Guidelines” were set up so that every series could be rated by the content it

Yesterday I was given one of the hardest assignments of my life. Music is my life. I live, breathe, and dream of it. I use melodies and catchy lyrics to face whatever I am dealing with; much the way a painter uses color to expose their emotions. When I was asked to make a soundtrack to my life, I thought I was on easy street. That is, until I started putting my playlist together. As I

Many Hollywood stars have made a career out of changing with the times and constantly “updating” themselves, (i.e. Madonna), but there are a few select who have done quite the opposite. These stars have used their careers to change the environment around them. Some of those people include rocker Tommy Lee, musician Mariah Carey, and comedian Jim Carrey. One other such person is Johnny Depp.

How often do you get into social or political conversation with a twenty something outside of a college classroom? Or even better, how about a teenager anywhere? Very few people my age have little, if any interest in political matters. And the only social issues they worry out are their social lives. Although I must admit that students are getting involved with their government more in modern

This paper is about something very dear to my heart, horror films. Horror flicks rarely do well in theaters, especially horror remakes. So, I was not shocked when I looked at the composite review for the most updated version of the Amityville Horror. Many critics say that this movie has been done to death, but if you can think back to a time when scary movies, well scared you, I’m sure you

Are all blondes dumb? No, but stereotypes like this dictate that they are. So are all pit bulls vicious? Of course not, but many people base their opinions and beliefs on this very stereotype. This is why I’ve been watching the BSL controversy, or Breed Specific Legislation.

Sorry that it's been so long since I've wrote to the whole three people out there :) but I've been so busy. Not much to report, just trying to keep myself occupied so I don't bug that one person I like to death, you all know how it is when you like someone. You seem to always have something to say to them, and then you worry about being annoying, considering that I'm pretty annoying on my own,

So, yeah... Shockingly my mom is taking me not going back to college and wanting to write full time quite well. Yeah, scares the hell out me, too! To make matters fully incomprehensible, she's even found me a journalism internship. The job is pay less, as most internships are unfortunately... but it could really help me build my portfolio and gain valuable experience. Plus, I'm hoping that I wow

I have decided, on more than one occasion that I HATE Valentine's Day. Especially when there's all those sappy love stories on and I feel farther than even away from BEING in one of those movies... Ok, you know what I mean! But, I don't want to ruin anyone else's good mood... so I'm going to stop here and let all you lovebirds get back to your gay-ass make out sessions!
