The Ideal Symbol of Love: Dove

There is no one correct symbol for love. People perceive love in different ways which  is why their are many abstract symbols for love. The most common symbols for love are hearts and cupid, but a lesser known symbol of love is the dove. Although it is most commonly associated with peace, according to

http://www.squidoo.com/love_symbols "In Greco-Roman mythology, the dove was a sacred creature to Aphrodite or Venus (the Goddess of Love)." This is interesting because the idea of doves as a love symbol dates back to Greek and Roman mythology, and yet we don't immediately think of it as a love symbol. 

Another interesting idea is that it once was a popular belief that birds chose their mates on February 14. Since doves and pigeons mate for life, they symbolize loyalty, fidelity and love. Also and lastly, we might have all seen this in weddings. Some weddings have doves released after the ceremony as a symbol of purity and love. Many religions think so as well. As you can see the dove an ideal symbol of love.

Symbol of Love

Many things represent love. Like, chocolates, flowers, candy and even cupid. But I think that A growuing flower is a good representation of love. when you plant a flower, you have to make it doesnt wilt, take care of it, and to not let it just die and let it crumble to pieces. You have to take care of it, let it grow, and to make it look its best.  

I also think that the rose is the perfect symbol of love. The color red evolved from an early primal symbol for life into a metaphor of deep emotion. And since it is used in marriage ceremonies, it became as a symbol of love and fidelity.

I also think that the rose can also can be a bad representation of love. Sure the flower is pretty but, if you look on the stem, there are thorns. Also, the rose is also known as the "Corpse Plant" because of its bad odor. And, that since people cut and give them the roses. Sure, you put it in a vase filled with water, but the petals start falling, and it starts to smell really bad. In addition, you cut the roses, and they start dying.

Roses!

There’s many different things a person can give to their partner to show their love. Chocolates, Kitten, Puppy, etc.  all these things are GREAT symbols of love but I have a better idea. This suggestion is for guys mainly. You want to buy your girlfriend/wife an anniversary present but don’t know what to buy her? You think she won’t like the piece of jewelry or candy you buy her? Well why not do what I would do. Buy her a dozen roses, but have a little twist. Have 11 real roses in the bunch and have 1 plastic rose. Everybody knows after time flowers tend to wilt and then sooner or later die but with this dozen one rose will stay nice and up right. 

<--- the black roses represent the dieing ,and the red represents the one rose that will stay aliveand continue showing the love <3

Flowers are good representatives for love in many ways. It does not necessarily have to be for a partner. It can be for your mother, sister etc. but most would like to present their partner with this. They  can represent your love for her but knowing that they die will kind of ruin the moment. With the plastic rose in the bundle your love will never die. There will always be one rose that still represents the love you 2 as a couple share. Some would find this cheesy and some would find it as a great idea. As for me ,I would LOVE if one day my future husband did this for me!

Some people don’t even care to get their partner something at all. But if you are one of the nice ,extra-caring ones then I recommend doing this for your loved one(s). hope you enjoy my idea!  ~(^-^)~

What Is Love?

People have different kinds of love, what is your opinion on love?

I have so many things to talk about involving love, such as a kid and candy or a dog and his bone.
kids love candy , we just do! And as for dogs, they love their dog bones!

Love is like an old man, as you get older your hair falls off and once it falls off you become bald(what a shock), so what i mean about that is that love sometimes never lasts it really depends on the kind of love I'm talking about. I'm talking about relationships. Most relationships do not last "forever" like they expected. Kids my age say "oh I love him/her" or "were going to be with each other forever". It's like no, just be quiet, that is not love.

I am not saying that I know what love is, all I am saying is that love is not true until you can see and feel it. Love is just a four lettered word to me. It means nothing until you can see it in your loved ones eyes. Love is not always kind and sweet, it can hurt sometimes. And you can get so broken hearted.

On the other hand people see love as like a fake rose, they sometimes say that love will end once the fake rose dies. Some people actually feel love, it is mostly the elderly. They are the ones who lats forever. They know what love is, they deal with their problems the right way. People who have love for each other have lots of problems but they get thought it together.

Have you thought about love and what you think love really is? According to the dictionary love isa profoundly tender,passonite affection for another person.

There are alot of things that symbolizes love. There are chocolates, roses, even cupids. But all those things aren't real love. Chocolates get eaten, roses welt and die, and cupids are brainwashers, they make people fall in love, it's not the real thing. I personally think that the heart symbolizes love.

I think that the heart symoblizes love because some say "as long as my heart beats there will always be love in there heart."Even if that person is the meansest nastiest person on earth, their will always be a little love in there heart. (Plus here's a good way to think of it: If you didn't have a heart then you wouldn't be alive, and if you weren't alive then you wouldn't be able to love anyone.)The heart also controls many things in that correspond with love. When you see something that you really like, your heart beats fast, plus other reactions that can cause your heart to do things.

The rose is a bad symbol for love. At first its all pretty with it's lovely scent but as time goes on, it starts to wilt. The roses beautiful smell turns into a nasty rotting smell. It also makes the water all mucky and stuff, so you have to keep changing the water until their is no hope for it and you have to throw it away. Plus their are thorns on it. That causes two things, 1, you can get stabbed by a thorn and 2 I think that a thorn symbolizes that it dosn't want anything to with nothing and that it feels like it has to protect itself by itself.

Cupid is also a bad symbol of love. That's because it's a little midget or something that goes around shooting arrows to make people fall in love with the first person they see.(I don't think that I am the only one that thinks this.) He brainwashes people. I don't think that that is a fun way to fall in love.

Now on to chocolates. Chocolates are bad symbols of love because they get eaten. And if people get too much chocolate and eat them then they gat fat. And I don't think that eating something that makes someone fat is a good symbol, do you.

Love Symbol?

Don't you just love love? Like what's not to love about love? It really inspires you to be a good person and if the person loves you back, can lead to great things.

You can have a boyfriend/girlfriend or a husband/wife. On occasion the lovers will exchange gifts. Maybe on a birthday, Valentines Day, or at a random time just to show their love. A gift like that could be something simple but with a lot of meaning such as rose.

In Roman and Greek mythology rose are grown from the god Adonis because of his love for Aphrodite. 

Roses symbolize love, passion, desire, sensuality, purity, romance, and physical perfection. The color of a rose can also effect the meaning of the rose. 

Red Roses: Love, Respect and Courage

White Roses: True Love

Red & White Roses: Engagement 

Thorn-less Roses: "Love at first sight"

Deep Red Roses: Beauty & Passion

And my personal favorite: Rosebuds: Beauty, Youth and a Heart Innocent of Love

A rose can also represent a relationship. "A life with love will have some thorns but a life without love will have no roses" This quote help you understand that love has sacrifices and hardships but in the end can turn out to be something beautiful and much appreciated. What can be better knowing you're in a happy, solid, and loving relationship?   

Roses have also naturally become a love symbol. When someone says "I love you" most likely an image of a rose will pop up in your brain.

A rose is a wonderful way to show love not just because of the reasons stated above but the fact that someone took the time to give you a rose.

Number the Stars Too?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/field_museum_library/

After i read this article The Outsiders' and 'Beloved' among restricted books in Texas Read more: http://www.myfoxhouston.com/story/19708902/2012/10/02/the-outsiders-and-beloved-among-restricted-books-in-texas#ixzz29ztvQTFj, I was completely in awe as in why Number the Stars was being read by only those who are of the right age. It made me furious, this is my all time favorite book. In third grade I, along with the rest of my class read this historical fiction about a 10 year old girl hiding her friend who is Jewish from the Nazis in the terrible era of World War 2.

Many books are being banned and challenged, some books should be banned, like in this article Why Is 'Hunger Games' On Banned Book List? In honor of Banned Books Week, Hobnobbing turns the page of other controversial novels turned into movies. As you can see these books have to do with witch craft and have sexually explicit context. Number the Stars has nothing that could make it be banned or challenged, or even make only kids of certain ages read this awesome book. If this book was only being read by a certain age here in the state that I live in, it would be terrible. Books like this are not harmful at all, if anything they are educational. This book, Number the Stars should not be read by only a certain category of ages, it should be read by everyone! 

Should This Book Be Banned?

There are many books that get banned from school libraries for various reasons. Some I agree are reasonable to take out but some are ridiculous. There is one book that was banned that I don’t completely understand. I was reading an article on the top 10 books that are banned and the book “And Tango Makes Three” was banned from school libraries. The book is based on a true story about 2 male penguins who hatch an egg together. The main reason why there was so many complaints is because the main characters of this story re two gay penguins named Roy and Silo.

At first the two penguins try to hatch a standard rock. Just then their zoo keeper gives them an abandoned egg to hatch in an act of sympathy.

Many parents would find this book inappropriate, setting a bad example for kids. Other parents would be okay with the fact of their child reading this book. The reason this book was banned was because it has a "homosexual story line that has been sugarcoated with cute penguins," said by A Lodi. You would not expect little Elementary school kids to understand what homosexuality is, some may know and may not know. I believe it is just a way of life. Many other people would disagree with me. You don’t have to agree with me, it’s my own opinion, and we all have our own.  Kids will have to learn sooner or later the facts of life and about the different people that are in the world we live in. we are ALL apart of society!

Banning Books

After reading these articles on the most banned books, i kind of agreed with people who don't like some books. For example a book called " 'And Tango Makes Three", im not against homosexuals, but for this to be a kids book? Really right now. I would not want my kid to read this book, until he is old enough to know and understand.

Most books on the list were books that kids ready daily, like "Harry Potter". I dont knowhy that book is banned. If so many parents want to banned books from school libraries then they shouldnt let their own kids read it, because kids love books with magic and fun stuff. I personally think thet we shouldnt be able to banned books because people have worked so hard to make a book and then sometimes people banned them from libraries. Leave the poor books alone!

Gay Penguins

Parents have the everyday stress of protecting their children from the more inappropriate things in life. Sometimes they are not able to do this just because of so many types of media children have access to. Among these are computers, phones, and...books.

And some people have taken notice and that. That's why people can challenge and ban a book. To ban a book means that it won't be in schools and libraries. But there are stupid people in the world with even dumber ideas. Some books are banned for really dumb reasons.  And Tango Makes Three is a great example.

-THE BOOK: And Tango Makes Three

-ABOUT THE BOOK: And Tango Makes Three is about two male penguins named Roy and Silo. They wanted  to have a family and tried very hard to hatch a rock. After witnessing this heart-breaking scene, zoo keepers gave Roy and Silo an abandoned egg. They immediately adopted and hatched the egg.

-WHY IT'S BANNED: "homosexual story line that has been sugarcoated with cute penguins,"A Lodi. 

After reading that you have probably developed an opinion of your own. In my own opinion this book is okay for children too read. Younger children won't understand what's going on and elementary kids will have already heard about homosexuality from other children. And if you don't agree with my views nobody said you HAVE to read it. People and penguins should be free to live their life the way they want without being questioned by peers. 

Books.

Many books have been banned or challenged. Witch means the you can not find books at school library's or school. In some Severe cases you can't even find them in a public library...? Why, I don't know. There are many with some vulgar language and sometimes pictures but, many others...banding them is POINTLESS!

I was doing some research today with a class mate and I found out that "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is a band book. Are you kidding me? Please...  I grew up with the book and the black and white movie. This website states that it is of "No value". It has much of a value it is a creative little story. It is about a imaginary world any little boy/girl could dream of. 

The book is a bout a little girl Dorthy, after a huge tornado destroys her home she is transferred to a new mystical word. On her search to find a way back home she meets a tin man, a lion, and a straw man. They are all in search for something. The Lion is searching to be brave, and in one point in our life we are ALL going to have to be brave. The tin man is searching for a heart, don't we all have one? Yes we do. Then the straw man is looking for a brain...we all NEED a brain.

So how is this story of no value? It has many values a child might need to know. Like we all need to be brave.

Some books are banned for different reasons. To ban a book means to not have it schools and libraries. Some banned books i can understand why they have been banned but  some are PLAIN STUPID.

According to these guys the book 'And Tango Makes Three' is on the ban list. This book is about two male penguins who are given the privilege of hatching an egg together. 

This is a true story and if you follow the news they had even separated them and tried to get them to mate with a female penguin. After this didn't work they just accepted the facts and let the gay penguins be together.

The book follows six years of their life and on this website someone says "homosexual story line that has been sugarcoated with cute penguins" . This is stupid. Nobody is sugar-coating anything. This is just something that a lot of people don't hear of, so someone went and wrote a children's book about. And there's nothing wrong with homosexuality. Children are eventually gonna experience it so why not show it to them in the form of penguins.

This book has been on and off the ban list for a while. I personally believe it shouldn't be on the ban list. If it's what these penguins want it's what they want.

Hunger Games

On mtv.com it states that the Hunger Games is banned or should be banned. "Each year, schools and libraries field hundreds of requests to remove controversial reads from their shelves. Hence, the creation of Banned Books Week, which celebrates everyone's freedom to read" says MTV.com. This novel won many awards, including the California Young Reader Medal, and was named one ofPublishers Weekly's "Best Books of the Year". This article is about the novel. For other uses, see The Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games is a 2008 young adult novel by American writer Suzanne Collins. It is written in the voice of 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in the post-apocalypticnation of Panem, where the countries of North America once existed. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, exercises political control over the rest of the nation. The Hunger Games are an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12–18 from each of the twelve districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle to the death. It shows how for love people sacrifice everything, in this case it was Katniss who took her little sister's place in the Hunger Games. It also shows strategy and people trying to survive out in the wilderness. It shouldn't be on request to be banned on anything, it's a completely good and wonderful book.

Role models.

You can have an arguement about who are good T.V role models and who are bad role models. There is this one site Mr.V recommended that I'd disagree with SO much.

Why?

Because, the show SpongeBob Squarepants, is NOT a bad show. Yea Squidward is stuck up and he only does things to satisfy him, but a lot of people in this world are like that.
Also the show Shake It Up, its is not about two girls looking for fame. It's about two girls following there dreams. It teaches young girls to follow there dreams.

In some ways I do agree with the site. They state that Kim Kardashian is a bad role model. She is! She has a sensitive side, but most of the times she's just a big bully. She tells her bullies her brother most of all. I don't think parents want there kids learning bad word and how to treat people wrong. Hah. Also the Jersey Shore cast. Even though Snookis a mom, doesn't mean she has calmed down. Also the rest of the cast, the promote drinking and smoking... Horrible!

Wost Role Models

On TV there are plenty of bad role models for kids. Parents are almost always busy, so they don't always have the time to sit down and watch what their own children watch on the wonderful, yet sinister box called a TV. I have my own experience on watching bad role models on TV. After a couple of hours of doing my own research on my TV, I have made a list of some of the worst role models on TV.

Alexandria DeBerry: Ant Farm: She is perpetuates the stereotype of a dumb blonde
Stefanie Scott: Ant Farm: Her character is a model of what is generally thought of as the mean, manipulative, heartless cheer captain.
Elizabeth Gillies: Victorious: She plays a mean, goth bully that is mean to all her boyfriend's friends.
Shane Harper: Good Luck Charlie: His character makes it seem like deceiving and betraying a girlfriend/boyfriend is acceptable  and will not hurt anyone.
Jerry Trainor: iCarly: He is an irresponsible guardian who does not see the importance and seriousness having to take care of his sister.  
Jennette McCurdy: iCarly: She is a bully that has no respect for her elders or any type of authority figure.

My list can go on, but my list is comprised of my own opinions. If you do not agree with me, then you can also go to: http://www.commonsensemedia.org/new/10-worst-tv-role-models-of-2012

On the list that I linked, i disagree in the part that says that Squidward is a bad role model. I disagree because Squidward is just annoyed by Spongebob. I am pretty sure that we all agree that if there was a Spongebob in our lives we would all be cranky. Someone that should be on this list but is not is another person from Shake it UP. His name is Adam Irogoyen. His character portrays to be a guy who sells thing thta he gets from "a guy". What is that suppose to mean. Does he get his stuff illegally? We are now living in the 21 century, this stuff apparently seems normal to the government since thy don't take these shows off TV. It is sad to say that these are the role models of the kids in the 21 century. If the TV shows don't change we will have a messed up future a head of us.

Not So Good TV Role Models

In Common Senses, 10 Worst TV Role Models of 2012, Common Sense had Shake It Up main stars as worst TV role models. I agree with why they put them on the list. They want to bring their popularity status to the next level and that instead of being smart, you should focus only on your appearance.

Common Sense also had Ravi. An adopted Indian boy, from the show on Disney Channel, “Jessie”. He uses his “cultural idioms and references” to be funny. But they are not actually funny, it is a way for kids to make fun of people from a different culture.

I do not think that Squidward , a fictional squid on “Spongebob”, should be on the list. Although he is mean, rude and is grumpy, I think that there has got to be at least one person that is grumpy too.

TV's Worst Role Models!

Personally these are the most worst role models on television:

1.People on the "Jersey Shore" (Snooki,JWow,Ronnie,Vinny,Sam,Situation,Pauly D)
2.Honey Boo Boo
3.Girls On Teen Mom
4.Lady Gaga
5.Kim Kardashian

These role models, are horrible people who get paid for doing the wrong things. The reason I put Jersey Shore first is because they do horrible things and they get paid for it(not good). Honestly they just want attention and they do it the wrong way.Honey Boo Boo is next because she is such a brat! She is so spoiled,and she acts like a thirty year old,shes 6? Six year old little girls are supposed to be drinking juice and playing with barbies,not drinking RedBull and acting like an adult!Next are the girls from teen mom, their life's are so messed up! Stuff like this should not be on TV! And Lady Gaga? Goodness where do I start? She is so weird! The way she dresses is outrageous!People look up to her! Why? I honestly don't know.And now is Kim Kardashian,She shows her body for money. Not the right way to live life. She should be earning her money buy working.

After reading this article about Honey Boo Boo, I thought to myself, what is going on in this world!People are doing such bad things for attention and money.It is horrible!

10 Worst TV Role Models of 2012....Really?

I think it's pretty safe to say we've all watched TV at some point in our lives. I myself don't find it normal to plop on to the couch and watch some fake reality show or cheesy cartoon but I know a bad role model when I see one. 

According to these guys such people like Kim Kardashian and Squidward have made the list of 10 Worst TV Role Models of 2012. According to the article Kim focuses on appearance and not achievement. There's nothing wrong in keeping yourself clean in healthy but putting beauty over achievement ins't worth it. In 10 years when you working McDonald'd  your going to regret putting in all that time into looking  pretty and not on your studies. Besides why would you want to be famous for a sex-tape and a 72-day marriage?

Why would a character like Squidward make the list though? The list says he is selfish. I don't think anyone would even want to be like Squidward in the first place! Squidward is just naturally grumpy just like there are naturally grumpy people in the world. We just need to learn to deal with it.

One person I'd like to see on the list is Bender from Futurama. Although I've had my laughs with some things he has said I don't think little kids should be watching it. I'm not the person to copy what I see off TV but I know some kids do. Younger kids can copy bad words or sentences from Bender and get themselves into trouble at school and at home. 

Kids can get easily get on the wrong path due to TV when I think they should be doing things more productive than watching TV. And where are these kids' parents? A parent should always monitor what media a child takes in. I consider this a heads up for parents!

 

Worst TV Role Models.

I read this article on the Top 10Worst TV Role Models. I do agree with some of which are named but I have a couple of my own people that I believe are bad role models.

1.       Stewie Griffin. The toddler from the TV show “Family Guy”. There are many reasons why I believe Stewie is a bad role model. Stewie attempts to kill his own mother Louis.  He curses… A LOT! I believe he is 1 yr old. He also has an obsession with violence. If any kids see how Stewie acts and are easily influenced by their young ages, they might start to believe that it is okay to act how Stewie acts. Some kids might even start saying the curse words and not even know what they mean (I know from personal experience when I was little). These are only a few of the reasons why I believe Stewie is a bad role model for kids, especially little ones.

2.       Eric Cartman. A fourth grade boy from the TV show “South Park”. There are also many reasons why I think he is a bad influence on kids. One reason is that he is racist. Especially towards Jews. He loves to make fun of his friends and others. He curses A LOT! Words you wouldn’t find yourself or any adult around you to say so freely like he does.  He even cusses out his teachers and mother! He is also very stingy and throws fits every time he doesn’t get what he wants. Kind of a typical fourth grader on that piece ha-ha. So these are just a couple of reasons why I think Eric is a very bad influence for little kids.

These kids are VEERYY bad! Most parents are glad their child doesn’t act this way. I know my mom is! I know there are many others that people would say are bad but I believe these are the worst TV role models, but this is just MY opinion.

What I thought school would be, I thought it would be fun and happy. But later on, I did not like it and I hated it. But now I kind if like it. It is easy and I have most of my friends in some of my classes. Anyways, when I was little (before kindergarten), I thought school would be fun. But after learning that you need to go to school everyday, except the weekend, and also get up early, I did not like it. Before, I would get up whenever and go to sleep whenever(just not too late). Before my schedule was: get up, eat, go outside, eat, go with mom to pick up older sisters, wait for them to finish with their homework and played with them, eat, watched TV, then went to sleep. When school started my schedule: was get up eat, go to school, come back from, school do homework(1 hr.-30 mins.) eat go to sleep.I also did NOT like school because we moved so much. Throughout my entire lifetime, I have gone to 6 different schools. Especially, with making new friends practically every other year. But it was not that hard. Also, changing waking up schedules, getting out of school, and other stuff too. Now classes are too full and there are too many kids in some schools. But guess I could live with that. Now what  I do not  like about school is mostly the lunch. Mostly the elementary school lunches. Nothing tasted,well good.It was ok, but it was not GOOD. It was decent enough. But to me the only reason why I go to school would be because i get to see my friends. They are in most of my classes, so i can talk to them and not be lonley. and I like going to school because its easy for me. 7th grade was easy too.in the beginning it was hard with changing classes almost every 30-40 minutes.i guess over the years i started to like school. it is easy and challenging in a good way.my conclusion would be that over the years, you may hate school but over the years,you will start to like it.

Is this a Typo!!!

                                           
Click this to see that their has been a major typo or error in an article called 10 Worst TV Role Models of 2012. It states that Squidward is one of those ten bad role models. "Squidward (voiced by Rodger Bumpass) -- the mean and nasty cashier at the Krusty Krab -- is nice only when he wants something, and his greed always gets in the way of a straight and narrow path. You’d think that his twin passions for music and art would redeem him, but he pursues them with such a totally pretentious and snobbish attitude that he alienates everyone around him," says  common sense media . I guess I can kind of agree with that but here me out.

An avid patron of the arts, Squidward has a strong affection for interpretive dance, sculpture, painting, and playing the clarinet, but shows no significant talent for any of them. He has often tried to impress the public with his artistic exhibitions, but is always either unrecognized, mocked by his audience, or upstaged by SpongeBob. Squidward always wants to be the center of attention but rarely ever is.

He has tried several things to reach the fame he desires: hosting a talent show, starting his own astrology spin-off, forming a band, and so on, yet he can't seem to get much of a cult following   Mr. Krabs and Patrick also seem to like him, though it may be argued that Mr. Krabs only likes Squidward because of his allegiance with the Krusty Krab. Squidward considers himself the greatest and most unrecognized clarinet player of all time, though most undersea life that hear him play will argue that he is horrible. His clarinet playing often gets him into trouble.

I think that Squidward Tentacles tried at one point to be nice and reach his dreams but they got squashed and his trust in people(or fish) went down the toilet. And I don't think that he's a bad romodel because he is trying to just get through another day of being a failure.

How to Sneak in to Class After the Bell has Rung

The art of sneaking into class after the bell has rung, without letting your teacher know, so he/she does not write in your agenda is not very hard to master. With the help of my easy to follow steps, you will not have any more boring, time consuming, annoying detentions. You will now have longer chats with your friends without being worried that you will be written up for too many times of being late to class, (disclaimer: this will probably not work if you are late to school).

  Step#1: take a chill pill and confidently walk up to your next class.

Step#2: once you see the door of your class take a deep breath.

Step#3: ever so quietly, turn the knob

Step#4: (ninja skills are needed) hold your breath and rapidly walk to your seat, ignore the people starring at you like if you just murdered someone.

Step#5: you are home free. Just act like you know what you are doing and keep calm.

If this does not work you probably did something wrong. If needed, practice the steps with a good friend. If this really, truly does not work, when all else fails just receive your consequence and next time run to class hope this helps, and good look.

My bestfriend.

Leah, Leah, Leah. She is one of my closest friends. I understand her like she understands me. She is most beautiful. She has an AMAZING smile. Her smile can brighten up any ones day! She is so joyfull. She is just so loveable. I know she can get me super, super mad in so many ways but, she always makes it up by making me smile. There is lots of things I know about her, but you may not know. Such things as:

1. Leah's mom died just when Leah was 7

2. She is an only child

3. Her dad re-married

4. Her step mom is kind of HORIBBLE

5. Leah is obsessed with ONE DIRECTION (Just like me)

6. Her favorite One Direction memeber(s) are, Harry, Liam, and Niall

7. Her birthday is August 28th.

There are a lot more facts that I can this up at the top of my head.

Me and Leah met at my church.(Crosslight Family Ministries) Her cousin had brought her one night to one of our night services. We didn't really hit it off at first. Later on she starting comeing more and more and we started talking. Until one day we were just like bestfriends.

I could never see us fighting. We know about everything about eachother. We tell eachother everything. From our deepest darkest secrets to how our day was.

This picture is of me and her on a pretty HOT sunny day. We were at a church in Colton. It was a fun day, but some creepy stuff happened.

Well that's Leah for you.

How to Start a Gigantic Water Fight

                                     

 


Your wondering what to do on the most hottest, most boringest day of your life. You try to watch tv, nothing. You consider trying to music, nada. Or maybe read a book, zilch. Have you ever tried starting the most biggest water fight of your life? You probobaly havn't. Here's how to start.

Go outside and find anything that can hold water and is easy to dump on people. Bring out all your water guns, if you have any, and fill those up too. If possible toss in some water balloons. You should also keep the hose near you, just in case. Here's the first step into beginning this water fight.

Once you've got everything you need to start a water fight, start easing people out of the house. ( These things are also good for family get togethers like family reunions) When you get someone out of the house dunk them with all your might. Dunk them to get them riled up so that they would have to, not want, but have to get you back. They would probably use one of your water fight objects to get you but that's what the water hose is for. After they have gotten all their madness out, become an alley with him or her and build up plans to get other people. Build up plans like how to get people out of the house, and how to hide your ammo. But also think about who you want to be alleys with. Think of plans like this and I promise you, you willl be the water fight champ.

Dress Code For Teachers?

 I am kind of stuck between disagreeing and agreeing with dress code for teachers. I am stuck because agreeing would mean teachers would have to wear a certain dress code like in the article about some teachers having a VERY strict dress code. In the article the teachers have to wear a blouse that has a collar or a school shirt. (The school shirt would be fine for me, but the golf collared shirt does not looking appealing to me.) Disagreeing to the teacher dress code would let teachers wear what they want to wear. Just not anything that is inappropriate. (I guess the dress code basically applies to the teachers who are women.) It would also help them because another thing in the article, it says, “Most teachers spend $400 to $600 out of their own pocket for classroom supplies that the school does not pay for.” And if they were to spend another $100 for new clothes, then they would be spending about a $100 dollars or more every year or so. But after all of good and not so good stuff, my decision would be disagreeing on the dress code. Teachers should be able to choose what they want to wear, and not to have someone “pick something out” for them.

Queen-Why You Can Brag

Brian May, Freddie Mercury, Diego Maradona, Roger Taylor, John Deacon.

Rock. 70's rock. That's all I need. Even though their a pretty old band I love them and at one point they were even one of the biggest stadium rock bands in the world.

Queen started 1971 in London.They have multiple albums that are:-News of the World(1977) -Jazz(1978) —Bob Geldof, on Queen's performance at Live Aid.-Queen(1973)  -Queen II(1974)-Sheer Heart Attack(1974)-A Night at the Opera(1975)-A Day at the Races(1976)-The Game(1980) -Flash Gordon(1980) -Hot Space(1982) -The Works(1984) -A Kind of Magic(1986)-The Miracle(1989) -Innuendo(1991) -Made in Heaven(1995)

Can  you believe at one point nobody wanted these guys? Well actually I do, most good artists have a rough beginning. Anyways Queen is so good they have 18 number one albums, 18 number one singles, and 10 number one DVDs. They have also influenced multiple other musicians like Nirvanna, Guns N' Roses, Radiohead, Katy Perry, and many more. Talk about talent!

And who possesses this talent you might ask?  Freddie Mercury – lead vocals, piano, rhythm guitar (1970–1991), John Deacon – bass guitar (1971–1997), Roger Taylor – drums, percussion, vocals (1970–present), and  Brian May – lead guitar, keyboards, vocals (1970–present). Sadly the only band members that are still playing are Roger Taylor and Brian May. Mercury died in 1991 of AIDS. Deacon retired 1997. 


Queen has so much to brag about. They have sold 300 million albums, they made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and have had their albums on UK Album Charts for 1,322 weeks! I like their music because it's timeless. I'm pretty sure everyone could find a favorite Queen song or two. 

"Queen were absolutely the best band of the day... they just went and smashed one hit after another... it was the perfect stage for Freddie: the whole world"

My Favorite Band: Black Veil Brides!

Have you heard of a band that goes by the name of Black Veil Brides? If not I suggest you look them up if you’re into rock bands/music. Black Veil Brides is a rock band that originally formed in Cincinnati, Ohio but reformed in 2009 in Hollywood.  There are five people in Black Veil Brides. Andy  Bierack, also known as Andy six, (lead vocals), Ashley Purdy (bass and back up vocals), Jake Pitts(lead guitar), Jinxx(rhythm guitar) and CC(drums). Each play a very important part in the band. Black veil brides stated that they were inspired by older bands like “Kiss” and “Motley Crue”.  There were various changes in the members of the band by lead vocalist Andy but eventually he found the right members and formed a very successful band.

The name Black Veil Brides is a Roman Catholic term used when a woman marries into the church and gives up all of the pleasures of life to devote her life to god. She is then deemed a Black Veil Bride. You can say it relates to a rock band where you have to give up many things in pursuit of what you are passionate about or believe in.

Black Veil Brides has a message behind their music. They have stated that the message behind their music is to believe in yourself and letting no one tell you otherwise. To have fun and live your life how you choose, you only have one life so make the most of it.

Many are inspired by Black Veil Brides music. Their songs have a true meaning to them. For instance if you look up their song Savior it has a true meaning, I believe. I agree with the message they put behind their songs.  You only have one life so why let people drag you down when you won’t even know them for the rest of your life? You only have to deal with those people for a certain amount of time. Like Andy said and I quote “Never give in and you’ll get through it ,always!”
