the Death penalty

SO ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER PAPER...HMMM...SOUNDS LIKE FUN...NOT!!! I THINK THIS ONE IS MORE LIKE GIVE YOUR OPINION AND DO RESEARCH TO BACK IT UP. MAYBE NOT. I ALWAYS TEND TO GET CONFUSED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. AS OF RIGHT NOW IM GOING TO WRITE ABOUT THE DEATH PENALTY AND CORETTA SCOTT KING'S ESSAY. THE POINT IM GOING TO TRY AND ARGUE IS THAT THE DEATH PENALTY REFLECTS THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE WRONG DOER IS BEYOND REHABILITATION. I GUESS IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT I CAN FIND MORE RESEARCH ON. IF THATS NOT WHA I WILL ARGUE THAN IT WILL BE THE FACT THE EVIL IS NOT REDEEMED BY EVIL. I AM AGAINST THE DEATH PENALY IN SO MANY WAYS FOR SO MANY REASONS SO I THOUGHT SOEMTHING I FELT SO STRONGLY ABOUT WOULD BE SO EASY TO WRITE ABOUT. IM PRETTY SURE HOW I FELT WAS EXPRESSED IN CLASS SO I DONT HAVE TO BLOG ABOUT BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT IT WILL DEFIANTLY BE EXPRESSED IN MY PAPER. I JUST REALIZED HOW MUCH I TALK AND EXPRESS MYSELF IN CLASS...MAYBE TOO MUCH. i GUESS IM JUST USED TO THAT KINF OF CLASSROOM VIBE

Meds for Infants.

I think its bazzar that there are medication that can be givin to infants besides tylenol and motrin but yet they refuse to prescribe them. Why is this?? My daughter just turned 6 months about 2 weeks ago...and she has the flu. For people who dont know how bad the flu can be for infants...do research. Her fever in the past week and a half has reached 105.3...and what did they tell me to do about it...give her motrin and keep her hydrated with pedilite. Motrin and tylenol does not cure everydamn thing and London thinks pedilite is the most disgusting thing ever and she refuses to drink it. I took her to the docotr 3 times before they thought to test her for the flu in the first place. Its the hardest thing returnin home from school to spend to time with my daugher like i do daily and as soon as i go to touch her she starts crin because shes in so much pain. i could transfer doctors...but would things even change??

To BE OR NOT TO BE

The question at hand is should UNCW have a football team.
My opinion is yes!! When you think about it...theres not too many schools without one. Yes there are some but at a minority. Money shouldnt be an issue because football is most defiantly smart on the economic side. With all the asjustments being made to the school right now...that money would come in handy. Wilmington is a football based city. The high school teams are great. I see it as if the basketball can make sooooo much money and their record is 4-45.lol. Then just imagine what kind of "dough" uncw will be rollin in. And the undergraduate applications will skyrocket due to more activites to participate in. Who wants to go to a school where theres not really that much school spirit. Look at ecu...pirates this...purple and gold that. Lets put those seahawks in the news!!

Bamboozled Vs Self Destruction

Bamboozled vs The song Self Destruction by KRS-1 and other various artist. Bamboozled showed how the media influences the overall perception of blacks in america by using sterotypical images. They painted their faces black and it compares to scarfs flags tattoos and sagging pants that producers and writers consistantly attach to the black male characters in the media. The song self destruciton is about the negative sterotypes that hip-hop had started recieving. The media were labeling hip hop as a whole as a negative influence on the american soceity and youth. They were blaming the increased violence, crime, and promiscuity. These artist were saying that if we keep following these negative sterotypes than we will end up destroying the foundation that our four fathers faught to build. Foundation as in black people are equal and add not take away from the melting pot. I haven't really figured out how they can be contrasted yet but i am working on it. I really dont know how this topic came about but im pretty sure i can do well on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxyYP_bS_6s

Well....my new apartment doesn't allow satellite in which i had to get because my old one didnt allow cable. So right now tv at the crib is out of commission. My computer has also crashed so i guess you can say im having a bad week. This assignment was for Thursday i think but i guess its better late than never if acceptable. Anyways...Im at a family members house watching Road Rampage 2. This show is sooo crazy. Nothin i would normally watch while home though. This guy just stole a Greyhound. How dumb is that?? This other guy just escaped from jail, serving a 5 year sentence for burglary, and is taking the police on a tri-county road chase...on a 4-WHEELER.lol. Seriously though...3 counties...atv vs police car...They are not on their job. lol. The police hit him throwing him over a guard rail. After being treated for some minor scratches, hes back in jail serving an extra 15 years for felony escaping. Omg!!! 2 fire truck, weighing about 25 tons a piece, racing to the same scene just hit each other.....throwing one of the fire truck down the street flipping continuously No one was hurt though. I wonder where things like this happen because i never see things like this in Wilmington, NC. As shocking as this show is....i wish they would turn the channel...lifetime...lmn...something!!!Ugh!!

Ike Ellis Genicide Gena 6

Im not really sure if this is my favorite song exactly...but its my favorite song thats actually talking about something worth writing about. This Song is about Gena 6. For yall who dont know what that is...Jena 6 is a group of six black students ageing from 15-17 yrs old that were charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy and faced up to 100 years in prison without parole for beating a white student into concussion. Jena High school is a school in a small town in lousianna with about 85% whites. On December 3rd, 2006, the 6 boys sat down at a table in which white kids normally sit and started racial tension. The Next Day, there was 3 nooses hanging from that same tree, and the fight broke out. One of the kids Michael was tried y an al white jury and faces up to 22 yrs in prison. On Septemeber 20th, 2007, the largest civil rights demonstration in years took place, and over 20,000 protesters marched on Jena 6 that day. Not to mention the similiar protests taking place in other cities across America. My Friend Ike Ellis, wrote and recorded a song called Genacide Gena 6 filled with his opinion and outlook on Jena 6. Hope You enjoy.http://http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=258170230

Feminine Super Bowl

So my aunt had a super bowl party in which i did not wish to attend. My other 2 aunts made me go. When i heard there was gne be real food...i was down anyway. I didnt want to go because i thought it was going to be us women in the mist of some screaming men yelling at the tv as some men in tight pants making goals or points or what ever it is they do. Boy was i wrong. The women up stairs were catering to their husbands and watching their own super bowl, a chick flick called FIRE PROOF. Im really not a fan of movies like this one but it was soooooo good. The movie is about fire fighter and his wife on the edge of divorce and the fire fighter goes through 40 day trying to show his wife he really loves her. It soooo sweet. Very bad acting...kinda looks like a play. Every time the firefighter did something really sweet the women yelled touch down...i know the men heard us and was like what is going on up there. Heard it made it to the movies...dont see how.lol. After the movie went off and everybody wiped their tears; we discussed it and had a friendly little debate. i must admit my super bowl night was quite different but it was awesome. Ive been told the steelers won. Steelers??What a name.

OMG!! STFU!!

I hate repetition extremely...but for some reason i continuosly say the same things and send the same txt like over and over again. See thats the first time i said like but defiantly not the last. What made me start calling everyone a loser?? Everybody i know i classify as a loser or lame...no meaning behind it of course, just because i guess. Are you serious?? Oh yea...this one i use to say for real or if i see something i dnt like. i dont care. I do care about a lot but my response portrays me as being non chalant. ily... like who takes the time to say i love you anymore?? WRU?? where are you is a txt sent from my phone at least 30 times a day. ily london..i try to tell her every chance i get cause o never heard it growing up. ...thinking....what else do i over use...ummm....like come on brain....oh yea. I also over use freakin, mommy!!, classy, give me my neck.lol, ooook, really??, wooow and did i say like??? Lol i think i did...and lol is also one of those over used words.

Moving Moving and London

So im moving out of that trash they call an apartment. I have a new place and i am in love with it. Not only is is bigger and better but its cheaper than the last one. I feel like I'm finally taking steps towards my goal for the new year. The next step is the funnest part. I am buying a whole bunch of new things to decorate my crib....this is my 3rd place and i have never as much as hung a picture on the walls before. Wel li did decorate my bathroom with rubber duckies....but my bestie thinks their really ugly so she through it all away during the process. She has some nerve.lol. On a more serious note...my daughter will have her own room. I am very excited about that cause me and her sharing a room does not work out. 2 divas can not share 1 space.lol. so i happen to be very random...when i was pregnat they said she wouldnt be more than 5 lbs. Liars!!! She was 6.8...but she started growing realllly slow. Since she was born in september she has gain 1 lb and month. This month she gained 3 and thats great!! Shes growing up. Even though shes 4 months and stull in a 0-3 month clothing...shes growing and i have confidence that she will catch up.lol

The Rainy Mountain...Mood

I think Momaday set the mood during this essay by using very vivid descriptive dialogue. He describes the scenery as such a tranquil place, kinda makes you wanna be there. Although the essay is about going to see his deceased grandmother, the mood was not set as sad or depressed. Instead he replaced those feelings with good memories that gave the essay a peaceful mood. At the end of the essay he discusses the funeral and actually going to see his grandmothers grave. When he is talking about the funeral to me the mood was kinda sad. He reminisces about the moment and its like he starts hyperventilating. By the last paragraph, he pulls together and ends the story like he started...peaceful and tranquil.

Obama and Ignorance...

First of all...let me start by saying I am extremely excited that Obama is offically my president. He has paved the road for so many americans to not only to become president....but to achieve to become greatness. My grandparents who drunk out of seperate fountains, couldn't use the same bathroom, couldnt eat at the same resturants as whites, were allowed to witness the moment in history. My child, who will not remember this moment but will be reminded, will grow up with hope and ambition knowing that nothing can stop her or stand in her way of doing what ever in life she chooses to no matter where she came from or what she looks like. Now...ignorance. Ok now...some people have never even heard the man speak...they just voted because he was black. "MY president is black..blah blah blah" thats pure ignorance. Who says just because a person is black or white man or woman determines their ability to run the country?? Next...change. Our country and economy didnt start collapsing in the course of a day or a month so why do people expect for immediate change as soon as obama steps foot into th3 white house?? It really scares me that because things wont chnage over night america is gonna start loosing hope and stop believing. Obama said yes we can...CORRECTION...yes we did...and i have faith that WE WILL.

Living Expenses...

So...I lay my head in within four walls that my landlord would classify as an apartment. Me on the other hand, I call it a hell hole. It’s so not livable to a normal human being. Since I moved in, in august I’ve the bad case of "Domino Leaks". Every time it rains, it rains into my bedroom. Every time you flush the toilet in one bathroom, and take a shower in the other; my dining room table catches the aftermath. It took THREE whole months just to fix that!! I had other problems such as the need for a new door and locks, backed up pipes, and etc. but it wasn't until December when I started having major problems. Everyone knows that in December it tends to get cold. Well....As cold as it was, or is seeing that the problem isn't fixed, there hasn't been any hot water or heat. I go to the maintenance office daily, and every other day they'll get it working and it will only work til the end of the night if that. My refrigerator stopped working and all my groceries went bad, right after grocery shopping. Because I don’t own rental insurance, they won’t replace my food but they will replace my refrigerator. Well a week after having a NEW refrigerator, that also stopped working and once again I lost my food. So now I eat out everyday because with my luck, if I buy food I will loose it. Common sense will tell the geniuses that they need to obviously replace something. They finally figure out that they fuse box needs to be replaced. By this time my daughter gets extremely sick and im forced to temporarily move. Yea that’s right I have to pay rent in a place that is not livable and in order for them to move me into another apartment, I have to pay them almost $400. Geez these people are criminals. I have a meeting with them tomorrow to discuss a loop hole to get myself out of this lease which still has 7 months left. I recommend that no one EVER stay in the **** Apartments. I left you guessing which one just incase my opinion gets in the way of me moving.lol.

A Blog On Bloggin

For an assignment My English class had to discover two two-weeks worth of a blog and present it to our class. I found two blogs both written by women. The first blog was written by a pregnant women who blogged on her prego-experiences daily. I've been pregnant and for me, that was the most miserable nine months i have ever experienced. She writes about all the good moments, but not as much on the bad ones. When a women is pregnant shes goes through many different mood swings. I have NEVER seen a pregnant woman who doesn't cry at least twice a week!! I think when you blog you should be truthful. If your going to talk about a life experiance, why not tell all aspects of it. I don't know about anyone else but good isn't always juicy if you know what i mean.lol. The second blog I read was about some chick who calls herself a "diva". It was called a divashouldnever. In my opinion, just because you're born into royalty doesn't make you a diva, it makes you a spoiled brat! Ok don't get me wrong Gucci, Prada, Coach, and Fendi are all very nice, but who wants to read about some naive woman who gets funds from her parents to support her reckless lifestyle. Go buy a house, build your own financial stability, then buy the "flyest" brands, and you can EARN the label "diva. Women like this give strong independent women a bad name. Ugh!!!! Next time I have an assignment like this, i hope i find something worth writing about.
