Song: If you go to the Caribbean where seashells around your neck, for me

Went for a walk today

Wind blew through my skirt

I felt it in my legs

My wavy hair blew a'munst the sky

I saw people walking by

Some with dogs and ipods

Some were runnin' 

Runnin' to their dreams 

Walkin's all I want to do

To love where I live

Lovin' the things around me

Nature doesn't come from people

That's what people are confused about

People come from nature

Nature is what people are

People tear nature down

The world down

Cities, smoke, pollution

Fights, murders, wars

Went for a walk

Took my shoes off before I went

Felt my feet deep rooted in the ground

Then I knew I was apart of God's country

Walkin's all I want to do

Embellish myself in nature

To know how lucky I am

I dream of the Caribbean

A place where everything is relaxed

Where people are happy for what they have

A place where people can dance in the sand

They ride the currents in the water

Pick stones from the deep insides

Know that they're apart of god's country

Where animals can live with the people

Where people can live with the animals

Walk among the sand.

Climb those mountains

Swim with the turtles

Pick up seashells 

Express through art, dance, and music

If you go to the Caribbean wear seashells around your neck, for me

Song: My first friend

You were the first person I knew who was my height
The first person I knew whose hands and feet were the size of mine
You were my first friend

We raced down the walkway while were were flower girls
We bragged about how in our hair were pearls
I put my finger in a candle at your sister's baptism
Sometimes we laughed so hard I would have a spasm

Laughter was our answer
Never shall those memories dissolve
We did fashion shows at home
We even danced in the movie theater

Our family reunions
Our nicknames for our relatives
Sleep overs at our aunt's house
The songs we sang over and over
I still know the words

Summers of adventures
Trails we set ablaze
The journeys we took
The mountains we climbed only grew higher
The higher the mountains the more crucial they were

Penury stole your treasured crown
But it didn't steal your laughter
Fortitude is your glory
Grace is your story
Hero is your tale
I hope someday I can follow your trail

Our pictures bring me gifts
I remember again
Who I used to be
The days when we danced in the rain
Now I see
Who I will be for eternity

You were the first person I knew who was my height
The first person I knew whose hands and feet were the size of mine
You were my first friend
If I could tell you only one thing it would be that you are my best friend

Where the world would be without music

Music feeds the soul of human life
The words are touching


Singing is beautiful
It is a way of expression
Expression that makes people cry
Expression that makes people get up and dance
Expression that fills the mind and makes one sing along
Expression that inspires people
Expression that comforts people
Expression that is theraputic
Expression that makes human life the way that it is


There would be no happiness without music
If there was no music society would not change
People would not be able to carry on without music
Without music there would be no life in people


Music comes in different forms
To me it is important for a human to accept and embrace all types of music
Whether it is classical, rock, rap, country, pop, or even scremo
One must realize that every form of music comes from a person
A person looking to create something beautiful, to express, create something fun, even change the world
Perhaps one would not want to listen to a certain song or genre, but one must appreciate it
Even if one cannot relate or agree to the lyrics, one must accept that fact that every human has feelings and words that they want use in their creation of art.

Song: Beauty of your soul and forever your spirit

Beauty of your soul, forever your spirit
Forever your spirit here and where you are


Don't forget us
Watch over us
Fill us with your spirit and love
Teach us how to live our lives
Embrace us when we see you again


I wish I could talk to you one more time
See your face
Tell you that I love you very much
Go out to lunch, I would pay
Tell you how we miss you
Tell you how I will think of you for the rest of my life
Tell you how your girls are my best girlfriends
Tell you how wonderful they are
Tell you how they have changed my life
Tell you of how I have grown and changed, so have they

Don't forget us

Watch over us

Fill us with your spirit and love

Teach us how to live our lives

Embrace us when we see you again

Your spirit is the one that blesses me with the belief of heaven
I don't follow a religion, but you are the one that tells me where you are
I feel your presence when I am with my family
Because of you somehow I know that every person is good deep inside, that the world is beautiful no matter what happens, and that there is an afterlife where our family will live forever

Don't forget us

Watch over us

Fill us with your spirit and love

Teach us how to live our lives

Embrace us when we see you again

When I hear music I think of you
You loved singing
Your gift of singing has come into the heart of your children
Your talent is shining in them

Don't forget us

Watch over us

Fill us with your spirit and love

Teach us how to live our lives

Embrace us when we see you again

When I see pictures of you I cry and remember you
I see the face that I cannot see anymore
Just the spirit in my heart
I know I will see you again


I remember the tragedy
The crying everyday


Our family is wonderful

Don't forget us

Watch over us

Fill us with your spirit and love

Teach us how to live our lives

Embrace us when we see you again

Beauty of your soul and forever your spirit
Forever your spirit here and where you are


Take this message, I bring it to you


My Uncle Jimmy I will follow you, where you were here on Earth and where you are now

My Baby Girl

My baby girl never used to like me
She only liked my mom because my mom wouldn't annoy her or pick her up
My baby girl is funny
She doesn't really understand things very well
She is what we call "a scardeycat" because she pretends she is so tough, but really she is a coward
My baby girl had a traumatic past before she came to our home
She was abused and went from home to home because no one wanted her
My baby girl went to school when she first came to us, but she failed because she was too social
My baby girl started feeling crummy recently
She was vomiting everyday
She was drinking 5x as much water as usual and peeing all of the time
She was having accidents in the house
She stopped giving me the usual nasty looks she would give me when I entered the room
My baby girl went to the doctor's and we found out she has diabetes
My baby girl gets vaccinations everyday now
I think she is feeling better because she occasionally gives me nasty looks when she doesn't want me to be around her
My baby girl likes me now
Now I have been treating her much more gently and considerately because I found out about her sickness
I took into account that she is a living being too and needs sweet and gentle care
My baby girl is my dog

Song: "Rain comes to us all"

Wanting the rain to fade away
We all walk the line
The line
The line that wraps around the world
Rain comes to us all
Everyone in America
Everyone in Afghanistan
Everyone in Ghana
Everyone in Burma
Why can't we sit back and enjoy the ride?


Enjoy the food given to us
Whether the food comes from the apple tree, the microwave, the charity support given to our people
Why does tragedy have to hit?
From the flood of Pakistan and tsunamis of Thailand
To the missed homework assignment in class


Wanting the rain to fade away
We all walk the line

The line

The line that wraps around the world

Rain comes to us all

Everyone in America

Everyone in Afghanistan

Everyone in Ghana

Everyone in Burma

Why can't we sit back and enjoy the ride?

People fighting

For land, oil

For respect

And those who protect 

From that of pearl harbor

Of that of revenge 

How can we just relax and live 

When there is eruption of the clans

The clans the surround us all, everyday, in different forms

Wanting the rain to fade away

We all walk the line

The line

The line that wraps around the world

Rain comes to us all

Everyone in America

Everyone in Afghanistan

Everyone in Ghana

Everyone in Burma

Why can't we sit back and enjoy the ride?

Tap

The Jazz
The Character
The Spot Light
The Classic Entertainment that started in America
And O MY GOSH THOSE BEAUTIFUL SHOES!


I love tap dancing. It is so much fun, and makes a beautiful and fun sound when doing it. It creates a music to accompany the dance without a record player. It is a dance that sparks attention constantly. Facial actions, body expression, "spirit fingers" (as I would say) spice it up even more. Although it is not the same, it reminds me of the dancing back in the 20's with the flappers, like from the movie Chicago. And like the dancing in Burlesque. (Both are two of my favorite movies). My tap shoes are beautiful too, I could spend hours just looking at them, I actually have... (I know that's kind of sad). Tap reminds me of an art and a party life. It is a type of dance to show off to the world!

"Easy A" commentary

I can't whether I like the movie "Easy A" or not. Olive is an amazing character, she is bright, cool, kind, charismatic, and has a quick sense of humor. I love her lines where she makes jokes, quick sense of humor, puns, sarcasm (but sarcasm in a good way), intellectual jokes that bring in teenagers, and jokes related to media and books. If I were in her situation I probably would not keep the rumor going. Realistically I would just cower in the corner and dwell on to how horrible my situation would be... until I eventually got depressed... again. Olive, unlike other people took the liberty to stand strong and go with the crowd rather than retaliate. She made jokes about it, and spiced up her image. Honestly I don't know why she did it. I don't know if she held this reputation for the money, to get back at Rhianan (her best friend), to annoy Mary-Anne, to get attention, or to just entertain herself with a wild life. Personally I would not want rumors going around that I was sleeping around, it didn't seem that Olive wanted that either. Olive did not start this on a whim, events happened leading up to this and as I said before, she did not retaliate, rather embraced it. I guess a person in high school is less likely to be picked apart if they stay strong, keep going, don't be afraid of holding their head high and showing their face, rather than let others get to them. Olive acted proud, which is how I wish I had stood in high school to face my big rumor life. Not only did Olive hold her head high but she also laughed about everything, made funny puns, and loved herself for who she was. Furthermore, Olive had integrity. She stayed strong and never once doubted herself while she was doing this until the end, I would have never been able to do that. I can't say though that I would like to be like Olive... I would not want to spread rumors about myself that I slept around, which is one of the reasons why I partly didn't like the movie... because Olive took the liberty to spread rumors about her pretend sex life and embraced it. If the movie had the same plot line, except for the rumor being about sex, with the wonderful character (Olive) in it I would have loved it even more.

The beginning of my discovery

In the seventeen years that I have been alive things have been changing all of the time. Every year my life has a different feel and meaning. I wanted to create this blog because I love writing and to have a grasp on what's going on in the world. Jodi Picoult is my favorite writer and I aspire to be a writer like her. Life is so dear to everyone, it should be. As people say; we cannot stop and pause the movie of our life. We do not know what will be at the end of the movie or the middle, we don't know how to respond to certain situations because we have no idea what's coming next or how to respond in that given moment. Life is a beautiful creation. A creation of how we make it. Happiness is beautiful. Suffering is beautiful. Love is beautiful. Hate is beautiful. I want to capture all of these things that life has to offer and phrase it as beautifully as I can.
