Making A Change
This entry and the previous are a bit informal in writing, and I am sorry for that if you were looking for my usual proofread entries. I posted this on my Xanga and I realized that I really want to share this with my readers here and I hope this entry gets the proper attention. Hope you like what I have to say!When I was younger, I would have probably done the same thing during parts of Dubya's administration... But I was younger and it wasn't until recently that I gave up on my apathetic min... Read Full Story
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
There are many organizations and people that have influenced me to help others. I am not sure how much power I will ever have in this decision, but I am starting with friends and family--I am doing what I can with them, and if I am ever able to help anyone else out, then I'll take that chance when it comes. You can thank people from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and To Write Love on Her Arms for truly inspiring me to give back where I can. Lately, I have left my television on CMT so I can wa...

Questionable Products
I only have two products in mind when I write this, but if I think of more, I will edit. Enjoy.1. ShamWow! From his uneven eyes, to his Backstreet Boy haircut, the ShamWow guy and his product both work as one freaky team. Not only has this peddler kept me from ever really wanting to purchase a ShamWow--even if it does seem like an amazing product--but after reading the news from awhile back that the ShamWow guy's shady smile was not just a byproduct of an unfortunate drunken backseat mistake,...

Response to: Journalists Are Not Like You And Me
Thought this was somewhat interesting, so I just thought I would post my comment to trunthepaige's entry on journalists.Even though all I have worked with is a high school newspaper, for those two years, on two different papers for two totally different schools, they were both very liberal. But that doesn't affect what you choose to write and what you choose to live outside of that paper.As a journalist, you do get certain freedoms within such a demographic--no matter if the majority of your...

Fall in Full Bloom
I have missed home. I have even missed the colors of fall. I do not get the pleasure of witnessing it for myself back at school--nor do I the glorious cold weather. I miss it so much. Here are a few shots of my favorite shots from today:As always, you can click on any of the pictures and they will direct you to my gallery on deviantART.com. Read Full Story
So, Where Are the Benefits?
**Warning: I really just felt like writing something. This might be a little rough. Don't critique, just read, okay? After all, I did warn you. Haha.**----------I decided to catch myself up on politics. It has been too long since I have even glanced in our current administrations' direction while headlines stretched across my television screen. When I saw the New York Times had an article on the current struggles of the ongoing debate of health coverage, I got interested. Could there really b... Read Full Story
The Look of Foreclosure
Everything is overgrown, but the home is still beautiful. Gracy felt like posing for me once more and this time, we found a vacant home next to the park. It was a magnificent place. Read Full Story
Paramore's newest album, "Brand New Eyes," is finally released
I have followed the alternative band, Paramore, since MTV announced that the band straight from Franklin, Tennessee was signing with Fueled By Ramen. During this time of adamant stalking, I have watched and listened to Paramore mature as a band, and even Haley's voice mature as they progress album-to-album. This morning, September 29, 2009 at midnight, Paramore's third album, "Brand New Eyes," was released to the fans, only capable of pleasing the ears of thousands.The album begins by playing...

The Henry Players present: "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"
I am sorry it took me so long to write this, but I finally got settled down in my room and inspired to write it...-----September 17-20, the Henry Players--the local theatre group in Henry County, Georgia--performed "Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street." Though I will always prefer director Tim Burton's film of the musical, the Henry Players did not disappoint. They left my ears begging for more. Audience members alike should be able to say this is yet another smash-hit by our belov... Read Full Story
Rough Draft
This really is not my best essay, but it is the rough draft to an English assignment. Just thought I would share it with you all. It is on this article "How Zombies Work," which is basically an EPIC FAIL!Wilson’s article “How Zombies Work” is the worst model for organization. The first thing one notices, as they attempt to read through the article, is the abrupt so-called transitions the author uses at the end of each page. As if accepting the idea of zombies is a seven-step process, she crud... Read Full Story
