CAR CRASH =[

A teenager died yesterday in a car crash in Manchester. The teen was driving a '98 Saturn and apparently lost control going around a bend, and hit a bunch of tree. The seventeen year old was pronounced dead at the scene. Some people are saying there was probably alcohol or drugs involved. The seventeen year old passenger was injured bad, but is now in stable condition at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. In my opinion, the driver was probably just showing off trying to speed around the bend, maybe because of the alcohol. This is the exact reason why state officials are trying to make teenagers but the bumper stickers on their cars that informs everyone else that they are inexperienced. Its sad it had to end up in a death.

Eighth Assignment

Are we just having a veeeery long run of bad luck? Or are we actually electing the people who truly represent us? They say "absolute power corrupts absolutely," but who's being corrupted: the politicians, or the people?

I don't have much to say in the political race against one another. I was never into politics at all. But to answer your question I don't think our president completely represents us. First of all we cant pick anyone we want to be represented by, we have to pick someone that is verrrry wealthy and the people who are running are sometimes people we don't even like. We just have to settle on the few amount of people that are actually running for office. I think the people are being corrupted.

QUESTi0NS

I agree about the blogs. ::grin:: Well, sometimes I have to give you homework because your grades can't all be blog grades, so I use the questions. But what do you think would be a good alternative to answering the questions? What could we do instead?

I know you have alot to do as a teacher but i wouldn't mind doing questions if you made them up =] I just find the ones in the book to be confusing, maybe I'm just stupid i don't know. I just felt like i didn't understand what they were asking. Or what would be even better would be writing a little summary of each story.

HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter!

My family used to all get together for Easter for a huge dinner, but this year its only me, my mom, step dad, and two little brothers. I woke up to an Easter basket that my mom insists on making me like I'm still 9 years old but i cant complain. =]

I finally started my new job on Friday. I'm working at a tanning salon and hopefully ill be able to save enough money to go to bartending school.

I need to clean my room now because its a disaster. I didn't realize how hard it would be for me for have a job, go to school, keep my room clean and find time for my friends I'm horrible at managing my time.

YAY!

My day is AMAZING today so far. That's not something I've been able to say for a while now. I woke up at 6:30 [which is something i never do] to get ready for an interview. Everything went perfect and i got hired on the spot. I FINALLY HAVE A JOB starting tomorrow =]

Danity Kanes album came out two days ago which i love.

My birthday is coming up in April and i cant wait.

My tooth is finally feeling better and the weathers not too bad out today either so I'm hoping nothing happens tonight that will ruin my day.

I do need to start working on my project though because I've been bed ridden for about 3 days so i haven't even been thinking about it. Just thought i should write in here before i got startedddddd.

byyyyyyyyyye. Y

SPRiNG BREAK!

"What did you do over your break?"

I didn't do anything special for spring break this year, i was actually in bed for most of it. I did end up going to the St. Patricks day parade which was a good time, But my tooth starting hurting about 2 days ago so I went to the dentist. It turns out i either need a route canal in one of my molar teeth or I need to get it taken out. Its so bad my whole face has been swollen for about 2 days now. They gave me heavy medication so I've basically been sleeping alot. I even missed one of my best friends birthday dinners. =[

But, Ive also been taking antibiotics so its a little better today. Hopefully the swelling will go down tomorrow because i finally got a job interview. I guess well see what happens.

PARiS REAliTY?

Paris Hilton is getting her own reality show on MTV. She searching for a new "best friend." I cant believe the shows that MTV has been coming out with lately, its getting a little ridiculous. Paris said

"I'm looking for someone with loyalty and integrity that won't stab me in the back like so many do in this town, I want someone who will be like my sister; she really is my best friend."

Like i said in one of my older blogs i don't have anything against Paris but nobody is going out to see her movies so why would anyone watch a t.v show about her desperately trying to find a friend? The only thing anyone really wanted to buy was her sex video which is pathetic. She should stop trying to put out books, movies, song albums, and t.v shows because nothing is selling too well for her.

7th ASSiGNMENT

The first half of English class went by fast.I like being in this class because we talk about the readings out loud and Professor Lauro makes sure everyone understands what is going on before assigning homework. Its different from other classes because our teacher is always cracking us up while still getting our work done. It makes everything go alot easier.

The thing I would change about the class is those questions we had to do which follow each story. They're worded all weird and they were hard for me to answer. I personally would rather write five essays rather then answer those confusing questions. I wouldn't be mad if i never had to look at them again ;)

I wouldn't change anything else. I don't mind reading at home, or talking about how we feel about the stories in class. I love projects like posters, and I don't so much mind writing essays.

The blog is a new thing for me and I like that it adds in for our grades. I'm on the computer all the time so its not an inconvenience. Ive been writing in it almost everyday and its just a way to discuss the way we feel about certain things like events that are going on or just the way our days went. I think more professors should start using blogger.

HiTCH!

The movie Hitch is my favorite movie of all time. I think Will Smith is a good actor and Kevin James is hilarious. The movie is about a man (a date doctor) that helps guys get girls who really want to be with girls. He doesn't work with men that are only out to get some. My favorite quotes from the movie are

"Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away."

"I'm a guy. Since when do we get anything right the first time? "

and..

"Any guy can sweep any girl off her feet, he just needs the right broom."


because they all are so true and make so much sense! Y

ANiMAl RESEARCH

Should animals be used in medical research?

Id hate to say it but i think medical research on animals is okay. If they're saving peoples lives by what is tested on animals then its something that needs to be done. On the other hand testing animals for stupid things like cosmetics or anything that cant save a human life is ridiculous. When it comes down to it and someone you know is really sick no one would pick an animals life over a loved one.

DRUG TESTS.

Should employers have the right to drug test their employees?

I definitely think employers should have the right to drug test their employees. If someone is smoking weed or doing another kind of drug they might not show up for work, or even worse come to work messed up. They wont perform their job to the best of their ability.

By the way I had an awesome weekend. I went to hibachi for the first time and had so much fun. You can see how much our chef liked us by this picture ;)

STRiKE

Should gov't employees such as fire fighters and police officers have the right to strike?

My opinion is NO. If police officers and fire fighters weren't around the world would be chaos. When filling one of these occupations you should know that it is illegal to strike so it shouldn't even be thought about. Its their job to keep people safe.

Once criminals caught wind of Police officers going on strike they would just plan their crimes to take place when they are striking.

As for firefighters i know from experience someone in my family could have been dead if firefighters were on strike. I had a house fire and by the firefighters putting it out i got to save at least some of my things.
Or lets say a huge forest fire broke out.. a whole town could be destroyed just because firefighters want to be paid more?

Hopefully the government would be about to work something out before firefighters and police even tried to go on strike.

BiCYCliST B0MBER

A bomb went of right in Times Square this morning at around 3:30 am. A man on a bicycle supposedly got off his bike, walked away for about a minute, returned to his bike and left. A few minutes later there was an explosion which shook buildings up to four blocks away. Nobody got hurt but it shattered the glass of the military recruiting station. Some people are seeing this is a statement, maybe someone has something against the military or George Bush and other are seeing it as a form of terrorism.

I just think its scary someone can ride up to somewhere on a bike, especially in New York, and just bomb something like its nothing. Ive always wanted to move to New York but its becoming less appealing everyday. Here is a picture i found of the damage....

R0BBERY =[

Last Thursday, a gas station that i go to on a regular basis was robbed. The 'Hess' station in Bayville at Route 9 and Stanton Avenue.
"The man brandished the handgun but did not use it to hurt the attendant" Stoker said. I have a friend that lives on Stanton avenue and its scary to know that someone that a rob a store was walking around that neighborhood with a gun. They still haven't found the guy yet but they describe him as a white male, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, wearing a dark hoodie and pants with a white bandanna over his face from the nose down.

I think its pathetic to to rob someone trying to make a living pumping gas in ice cold weather but some people are ridiculous.

Anyway, time to start typing my esssssssssssay. Y

UlTiMATE D0ME

I just finished the rough draft of my essay due on Friday. I found this essay ALOT easier then the last one we had to write. It was pretty hard for me to make it to 700 words about the Identity of America and how other people view us.. i guess because i wasn't interested in the topic at all. Anythings hard for me to write about that i don't have interest in, or don't really know anything about.

My group and I came up with plenty of different rules for our community which made it easy to write about without dragging anything out. Sometimes I surprise myself with the ideas I come up with when I'm writing. Anyway, I'm going ouuuuuuuut. ;)

DANiTY KANE<3

Danity Kane is my favorite girl group right now. Each and every one of them can sing which is the most important thing. My favorite singer of the group is Aundrea. Their first album went platinum. I like every single song on their first album which is something i cant say about ANY other group.

I'm anticipating their new album which comes out on March 18Th! They also have a T.V show on MTV right now called making the band where they compete to finish their album before the other band and solo artist that Diddy put together.



P.S - American Idol toniiighhhtt =] Y

RAND0M

I'm feeling somewhat accomplished. I faxed three resumes for secretarial jobs and filled out two applications for bartending jobs. Hopefully someone will call me back THIS WEEK.

Anyway, i started the rough draft of my essay i think its pretty humorous, hopefully ill do better on this paper then the last. My group came up with alot of rules which should make it easy to make it to 700 words.

I also just wanted to mention that I'm one of the people that watches "The Moment of Truth." I think its hilarious that someone would actually go on national television and completely ruin their marriage just for money. I think if you cheated on your husband and/or think you should be married to someone else and your willing to let the whole world that for money it doesn't just make you look pathetic, but very greedy.

SPEED liMiT?!

They dropped the speed limit yesterday from 65 mph to 55 between mileposts 80 and 100. They are saying the reason is because there has been so many deaths in this range.
I don't know how effective this approach will be considering the speed limit is normally 65 and people are doing 80 on a regular basis. They are supposedly building shoulders and guardrails.I don't necessarily agree with the speed reduction, I think the deaths may be caused more by crazy or drunk drivers. Maybe having more troopers out enforcing the law would have more of an impact.

People take the parkway to get places faster. Wont Lowering the speed limit just send people into road rage?

J0B?

I'm desperately looking for a job. I'm really interested in bartending but i have no experience at all & i don't want to wait forever to go to bartending school. If anyone reading this knows of a place that will train me let me know ;)

Anyway, my moms been annoying me to make a resume so i finally got that done today. I'm looking into a receptionist job at a dental office or something. I had a job at New York & Company but retail is not for me.

Along with looking for a job today i started considering switching my major AGAIN. feels like i have a different major every other week. life is rouuuuuuuughh.
