Pitbulls

Why are people so ignorant? Pit-bulls have gotten a bad reputation as an "aggressive breed" because of the dog fights they get into. What causes these dog fights? People do. Horrible people who like to hurt and train these dogs to fight against on another for money. Not all pit bulls are like the trained ones to kill. It is so annoying walking my dog down the street and people sometimes hesitate and try to avoid walking by her. My pit bull is the most loving animal ever! She will only lick you to death. So please stop blaming pit bulls and start blaming the people to turned their dog into something their not. 

This is my sweet Lotus.

Analysis of Alexie

In Sherman Alexie's essay his tone is very serious and sarcastic. He explains every American will experience at least 15 minutes of Sacajawea life in Sacajawea Land. Everyone sometime or another will be a walking contradiction. Alexie hates how America is such a contradiction. This country has produced many opposites, America gave to small pox, as well as a vaccine for small pox. The Declaration of Independence to a law that does not let non-Americans into the country. In the end he realizes he himself is a contradiction and we are all Sacajawea.  

essay topics

For my essay I wanted to write about my identity, who I am and how I became to be the person I am today. I will write about the history of my family. How we started in North Carolina and remained here. I will go through the good and low points of my life, (the important ones that shaped my identity.) There will be a climax in my essay of an important experience that made me who I am.

Ain't I a Woman?

Ain't I a Woman? Sojourner Truth argues men and women should be equal. As you read her speech you see even all women are not treated equally to each other. She says men talk about how women should be presented in the best, as in carried over mud holes and helped into carriages. Truth doesn't get carried over mud or lifted into carriages. What makes her different from the other women, ain't I a woman?, she says. Why can we not all be equal? A man says Christ was a man, that is why we are not equal. "Christ" might have been a man, but to receive a man from birth, a woman and man must come together. 2 equals make one. 

Everyone on this planet should be able equal one another. Race, gender, personality, etc. Who has the right to say "I am above you." No one. This problem dates back from way back when, and today, after 161 years after this speech it is still a problem in our society.

Identity

From the moment we are born we are established as a boy or girl. If your a girl you would come home all dressed in pink, in your nursery, everything pink. As you become older all of your toys are girly. Presents will be of make-up, barbies, jewelry, etc. Does anyone even get to choose how they want to grow up? 95%, if not more will answer no. This is your gender identity, live with it.
A couple months back I heard about a story of parents who refused to release the gender of their child to anyone. "We've decided not to share Storm's sex for now -- a tribute to freedom of choice in place of limitation, a stand up to what the world could become in Storm's lifetime (a more progressive place?..)" they stated. The parents got a lot of backlash because of this. I personally think it is a great idea, it let's the child grow up without feeling any pressure from the world. If he is a boy, now he doesn't have to stand up and be the "strong man" or put into any category.

Spain & Portugal Budget Cut

A budget cut/tax hike was presented last week in Spain and Portugal that will cut spending over $40 billion euros ($51.7 billion in USD) stopping the salaries of workers and chop spending for unemployment benefits. Spain's unemployment rate is extremely high and the majority of the people under the age of 25 are jobless. A retired banker named Antonio Trinidade from the area said, "The young don't have any future, and the country is on edge of an abyss. I'm getting towards the end of my life, but these people in their 20's or 30's don't have jobs, or a future." Thousands upon thousands came together at the two capitals to protest the cut. Mid- week the protest got out of hand when the protesters and police collided. 

Save the Wild Animals

For my essay that was due this week I analyzed a very powerful advertisement for WWF focusing on the killings of wild animals. Since my goal is to transfer to another school next year for a degree in Zoology I was compelled to learn more about the killing of these innocent animals. What I found out were some horrible details. According to The Fund for Animals with data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service the annual death toll for the U.S. alone includes 42 million mourning doves, 30 million squirrels, 14 million ducks, 6 million deer, and thousands of bears, geese, foxes, cougars, bobcats, and many others are killed. WHY!? So people can have something to do on the weekend for fun?
What is even worse is the poachers that kill the endangered species such as elephants, tigers, and so much more. It is wrong, illegal, and it is all for money, money, money.

time flies

My baby boy just turned 5 years old on September 13th. It seems like yesterday when he was just learning to walk. For his birthday I took him to the fair and he loved every second of it. It was bittersweet watching him play. A part of me was completely thrilled seeing him run around but the other half made me sad knowing in a blink of an eye he will be walking out the door one day and taking on the world on his own. Dylan is a Virgo and some of the traits of a Virgo include being modest, shy, a perfectionist, intelligent,  analytical, practical, and reliable. All of those traits completely and 100% describe him. I know one day he is going to do big and important things. He is amazing and I love enjoying every second I get to spend with him.

Oh Beautiful Bali

Today I bought my plane ticket for a week vacation in gorgeous Bali, Indonesia.I will be going next April and couldn't be more excited. While I visit I tend to visit the Elephant Safari Park, (I am obsessed with elephants), hike through the jungle, lay on the beaches and explore everything Bali has to offer. 

A few interesting things about Bali

Bali is almost entirely Hindu. Buddhists consume most of the cities.

Monkeys rome the cities like humans.

The island of Bali is home to six volcanoes.

Lies between 8 and 9 degrees south of the equator.

Bali's motto is "Unity in diversity."
