In this course it's going okay. I am not doing so good with the wiki page. I do not like the idea of the wiki page. One reason is because I am having trouble with it. Not much has changed since the last time I wrote on how I was doing in this class. So right now I am having complications with setting up my wiki page. Not so happy about it.

A high school teacher in Sudan allowed the students to name a teddy bear after Muhammad. She was imprisoned for fifteen days beacause they felt she insulted their religion. I think that's just dumb. Really Dumb. They are their own country, but other countries can be crazy. I feel bad for that poor teacher. It's not like she was the only one wh agreed to the name. I bet it was the students who came up with the name first. My opinion on it is it is stupid.

A article was showing that there were protesters who joined to protest over illegal immigration. There were many who were against immigration, as well as those who were for it. This is a big problem that is in discusion. It seems to be a big deal. To me it seems like discrimination, but that is just my opinion. This world is a crazy place. Many wicked things happen here. It is a slighlty identical to HEll. This world we live in is just twisted.

Recently I've learned before you make a decisions you should always look at both cons and pros of a situation. Go over the good things of the situation. Then you should go over the bad things. In the end you decide what decision to make. It helps to think before making a decision. Without thinking things out you can make a decision you will regret. I learned this in my reading class last week. The section we lwaerned about was based on argument.

In the state of Nebraska a guy killed eight people. He even comitted suicide. In a suicide note he stated he wanted to be famous. Some people will do crazy things to get attention. In my opinion, he must of really been crying out desperately for attention. We are born in to a crazy world, and sometimes we become part of it.

There has been two hundred DUI arrests. That is not good. Many people drink and drive without thinking about the consequences. Innocent people are killed because a drunk driver was not thinking straight. Drunk drivers never think about the loved ones of the person they killed. They may have young kids who still need them, but can not stay because a person under the influence of alcohol. It makes me angry to think about DUI. It's just dumb. I guess they get too drunk, and think they can still drive. Hopefully the government finds someway to put a stop to it.

The worst thing that has happened to me was not having my father be there when I grew up. I still see him and I love him. I care about him, but things would be better today if he was around. I'm not saying he's not in contact with me now, but I feel things could have been different. My dad is getting older and older. He wasn't there for us much. Sometimes he tries to do things a dad should do. I love him very much. I just wish things would have been different.

Well one good thing that will happen to me this week is I will get to spend time with my loved ones. My boyfriend will have to work on Thanksgiving, so that's a bummer. I wish he didn't have to. Spending time with loved ones is very special. Especially on holidays, such as Thanksgiving. A day I am thankful to have these individuals in my life. It'll be great.

2007-11-14T07:18:00.000-08:00

If i was asked what is more important: being popular, accomplishing things, or being organized? Why?I would say accomplishing things. I begin to get stressed when I get behind myself. I know I am someone who can stay on line, so when I find myself off line I know I can do better. I will only try to accomplish what I want. I will not try to accomplish things not of my interest.

A burlary almost occured in a scottsdale home. Three teens were caught. I feel shocked with how old these teens are trying to rob someone's home. They are very young. It makes me angry because they doit with no care for the victims. They would not like it if it happened to them. There are people out there that do these crazy things. We all have to realize that it can happen to any of us.

A Suicide bomb killed about thirty-five people in afganastan. It's insane that one would go along with the suicide bomb. It is not goog either that they would take the lives of others with them. It is not rare there, but to be from the U.S. and hear that is shocking. They must be use to hearing the news of suicide bombings. I think it's dumb. Of course they see it another way. That is just my opinion.

A four year old girl was attacked and killed by the family pet. It is just sad to know this girl loved this dog. They are unaware of why this happened. I feel bad for the family to lose the little girl. You just never know when a dog will attack. It's a shock to everyone. It's a shock to me too.

The question is asking if I would like to be famous. No not really. It seems like there's too much trouble in being famous. If you are famous you always have to be careful of what you say and do. I wouldn't mind being famous if I was in a death metal band. You could do anything and not have to worry about what people say.

Skeletal Remains were found in Tucson, Az. The remains could not be Idenified. The gender and age could not be idenified as well. That's just crazy. Makes you wonder how long the body has been there. It also make you wonder who could it be. It could be one of the many people lost and no one knows. That really sucks. Hopefully the investigators find out soon.

A wild fire in Clifornia has destroyed 1,600 homes. I could also destroy another 68,000 homes. This fire sounds really big. I would be devastated if we lost our home. It sucks to think how those who lost their home may feel. They must feel they have lost a big part of them. This fire has also killed seven people and left seventy injured. That is not good. Even the govt. has had to be called in for some help. Some fires just get do huge. I wonder what the biggest fire was.

I really can't say there has been a best thing of this class. Nothing really stands out for me yet. This class has been okay for me. One thing that I'd like to know is if I'm failing or passing. A good thing I'm getting out of this is learning more on writing essays. This will also help me in other classes.

It's not good that we been ranked number four for three straight years in a row. I know we live in a bad place. but when you hear what high rank we're at it's more serious. It'll never stop. People will never realize how dumb it is.

I ended up having a bad weekend because I was so stressed about how I didn't get to my work. I know I could get through this, and I will. I'm not way behind, but I'm behind what I want to be. There is one assignment that is not accounted for. This was one assignment I wantted to redo, but I didn't.

Easy keepers are horeses, pony's mules, or donkeys. They can live off little food. That is cool, because the owner doesn't have to spend so much time feeding the easy keeper animals. I never knew some horses are easy keepers or hard keepers. I also learned they can easily become overweight. That is something different I've learned today.

It just makes them look worse. Just saturday night my sister and I; say a car on the side of the road.This car had just got in t a accident. We pulled over, but no one was in there. We called the cops and we left. We thought why did they leave. We did smell alcohol around the car. That's probably why they left. In the end they'll be in more trouble.

Taboo is a prohibit against words, actions, objects, or discussions,or people who are considered undesirable to a group. In some places this is taken serious. I think it's stupid. People should be able to be who they are. No one is saying anything about what they do. Why is it okay for others to say what they want. Or, maybe someone didn't mean to say what they said. It's dumb.

It hepls me get better at the things I do know and learn the things I don't. One thing I dislike is a lot of the work is on computer.

Something I noticed about myself today is I am growing strength. It's been two months since I've lost a very important person in my life. I feel better than I did two months ago. Two months ago I felt empty. I didn't know what to do. I knew it was going to take a while to recover, and it is. Today I look at myself and know I can do this. When I thinkabout it I still become maudlin. It sucks to feel this way but in the end you only become stronger. I see that I am slowly recovering and I will get over this.

Some people wish they were famous. When I think about it, I don’t wish I was famous. I would then have to be careful of the things I do and say. I wouldn’t have much privacy in my life.

I wouldn’t have to worry about what people say about me because the Metal Legion is for the METAL*!!!
