Who are you?

I and everyone struggles with trying to find who they are sometime in their lives, but I just wish people would not try being someone who they are not to impress someone. It just makes me sick to see someone ignore their beliefs and morals because they think doing whatever it may be will impress someone else. And you should not worry about impressing anyone...especially if it goes against your beliefs and morals. Smoking doesnt make you cool, drinking doesnt make you cool, and cursing doesnt make you cool. I am pretty good at sizing people up, and I can tell when someone is being someone who they are not. I still struggle with finding myself..but I at least know what I want and do not change myself for anyone. Most of the time you change yourself for people who could care less about you, and that is so damaging to your self esteem. It is truly important to stick true to who you are and to not change or be something or someone you are not.

This Weather

I am sitting outside of Starbucks, waiting for my shift to start at Zoe's...and it feels fantastic! I, and I am sure everyone else, cannot believe how this weather has been lately! It stormed pretty bad..which we will fell this weekend since it is supposed to be kinda chilly.. and we say chilly as in 70's lol. But it truly is almost November and I am sitting outside on my laptop with a short sleeve tshirt on and capris! I love it. Though this weather is nice, I do like to have a chilly winter. It just gets me in the mood for Christmas which is by far my most favorite time of the year. Speaking of Christmas, this year is not going to be too much fun because nobody will be in town for the holiday.. :/ My sister has a new beau that she'll be with during Christmas, and my other sister is in Alaska and will not be coming down for the holidaysss...so it'll just be me dil and my parents and mallory and xan! But we'll make the most of it :) It's such a joyous time!!

Appositives?

Shorter than the rest of them, the baby giraffe had difficulty getting to the food put out by the zoo keeper.

Not wanting to stay in class, the boy packed up his things and left without saying a word.

Most of the time, the train conductor, a simple man, watched the sun rise in the morning before work.

Dont Drink and Drive

So my older sister is 22 and she has this new boyfriend...well he was new, now he's just kinda new. But anyway, he lives in Tuscaloosa because he is in Pharmacy school, so she went up to Tuscaloosa for the weekend before the first game. They went out...and from what she said "only had a few beers" which we know is a lie because she was wayy over the legal limit. Anyway they got in her car, and she drove because her boyfriend has already had two DUIs before, so he would definitely be in trouble if anything happened. Well something did happen, and my sister ran into a 2010 Camero that belonged to one of the Alabama football players. He was fuming because it was about 1 o'clock and he was out before a big game, so my sister got arrested and stayed in jail for about 13 hours. She got a DUI, payed a ton of fines, had a jacked up front hood of her car, and has to take classes for like alcohol dependency or whatever! But the worst part is that she got her license revoked just recently for three months..it's just something the department of public safety does. But thats definitely the worst part because now my mom and I have to carry her around town! DUIs are definitely a pain in the butt..and she is lucky because she really could have hurt someone. So whatever you do, don't drink and drive. Call a taxi.

GO GIANTS

So, I'm a hardcore Braves fan and love my Brian McCann..but since the Braves are out of the series I have switched gears to the Giants. They are 4-1 with the Phillies as of last night, and are on a roll. I really think if they stay on the track they're on they can win it all! Now on to Brian Wilson..he is just so fine. Definitely way more attractive than ole Brian McCann, and he is freaking hilarious. He just has such a dry sense of humor and says some of the craziest things. And if you see a good picture of him he has beard that is jet black..because he obviously darkens it and a mohawk that sticks out of the bottom of his hat. The Giants have a good bit of players. Buster Posey was on a role last night with I think four basehits and I think he'll probably get rookie of the year! We'll see though. I love baseball!

Revising "Facebook"

The day before yesterday, in a fit of rage, I deactivated my Facebook account. I plainly did not want to deal with people, and the nonsense that goes on with Facebook. As much as I hate Facebook, I find myself always checking my notifications for any news. It is truly sad how much people dedicate their lives to Facebook. I love going on Facebook to look at my friends who have gone off to college and keep up with them, but at the same time it get depressing and is not healthy for your sanity. I do not surf around Facebook trying to "make" Facebook friends, I just have my friends who I know from real life as my friends, or mutual friends. I do not stay on Facebook to chit chat with random singles or anyone for that matter. Although I think Facebook is a good gateway for friends, it can be dangerous and potentially deadly. Not only does it kill your social life, because all you know is Facebook and lose you really are, but just like any other website there are cyber bullies who take advantage of their privileges on Facebook to hurt and abuse people. I have seen multiple people bashing girls or boys they may not like on their statuses for absolutely no reason. It makes me sick to my stomach to see the things people say and all I can think is that those people have no self esteem. It just fires me up to see "adults" act like children and be so irresponsible. I pray that one day they will realize how they tortured other people through the internet. We have seen many cases in the news where a lot of the time children use Facebook to bring people down, and the consequences have proved to be deadly. I have even reported "cyber bulling" to Facebook, and sadly the problem was not resolved. Beyond cyber bullying, I also see people who put nonsense on their Facebook pages such as inappropriate words and pictures from the weekend. I do not think these girls and guys realize the damage they are doing to themselves with future employers, and just their reputation. Their parents should need to be monitoring what they say over the internet. I think to myself that employers go through Facebook for potential hires and these people will never get a job in their lifetime if thats the case. Facebook needs to have stricter guidelines on what is allowed to be posted and said over the internet. Words prove to be deadly, and something needs change.
