Nation of the lost

I do not know exactly where I come from, I know my mom was from Atlanta and my dad I believe the same. I was raised in Decatur and Jonesboro subrubs where the cultures clash and blend. Until i became older and i was allowed to know more, about me as a people. From what my grandmother trold me i'm supposed part Cheerokee and African American. What tribe i'm not certain we could be from Nigeria or Ghana we couldn't find any creditable documents so it's anyone guess. Also frommy momo she's told me that we also could be a part Islander like Trabago or Barbados, again no real documentation so i can't really prove it. Soi'm a person built on uncertainties except for my Cherokke and African blood i believe that and their is actual documentation about that. And because also in the summer when i don't perm or put in chemicals ion my hair it curls not napps but actual curls. Andno matter what i try to do with a flat iron or curler it will noit starighten, so i just wear it wet and curly. Also the cheerokee part in part to the fact that iu am very lacotse in tolerate, but it sucks somuch because i loved milk. I love ice cream cheesecakeand yogurt why did i of all people have to be lactose. But i beleive only on my dad's side of the family because my mom candrink milk for days and feel nothing. On the other hand if me my brother cousin or grandmother try to be the same we will be in great pain like monthly cramps with gas it's horrible. Unless we drink soy milk or speckle that lactose powder over our ice cream and ect.

Wait till i get my money right?

Kanye West is an innovative and breaking edge new artist who has given rap a new outlook. No longer with the songs entirely about how much money you, have how you get your money, and all the expensive things you can buy with it. Kanye's break out song through the wire descriped his experiences after he was invovled in a horrible car accident, that resulted in his mouth being wired shut. But still through the wire ,gause, and pain he still recorded the song and stayed on his mission to get out and known in the music industry. So many people respect and hold him to a certain standing. So when he comes out with a new song like "Can't tell me nothing" , it was thought to be another anthem for those trying to make something happen for themselves and theri family. With it's catchy bridge "Wait till I get my money right", the video itself was unrestricted and raw to a certain degree of it just being him and the music. Also some of the graphics were cool how with the bass beat of the bridge would make the screen shake. Thou there were parts of the video i did not get when he don on this bubble vest and wasa standing in front of the stage with lights and smoke starting to surrond him.But with the country farmer video of the song I was alittle dumb founded. I didn't get right off what this video had to do with the song.But once I had saw the whole thing I started to get it and how it MIGHT have related to the song. In the way that the farmer probaly does not like his job and is only doing it ,until he can make enough money to get out or live comfortably. It has a realistic eerie feel of truth behind it, but with all that said there was no need for the main farmer to be shirtless at the end. But my judgement is this I am indecidive both videos had a certain backing that made it relavent to the song.

Globalization and Tiffums

Globalization is the intergration of other economies and societies around the world. The way that globalization affects me in my everyday is because it affects my boyfriend. Don't jump to conclusions please he's not just using me for a green card or anything. He was actually one of my highschool friends back at Mt. Zion High, we played on the soccer team together. And took some of the same AP course along with belonging to the same club, we were both in TSA. He is a very smart indiviual he made the top ten percent at school and was invited to GHP for technology and won a few awards. He was never arrested or had any childern to may knowledge, but he's your above average everyday student. The only difference is that he was born in Mexico and we were born in America. It sucks ,I mean really it sucks so much a$$ that he allowed to go to public high school illegally, but when he wants to go to college he not allowed to apply for any scholarships. I f he wants to go to college he would ahve to pay up front for every course load, I know some people you all know may do that. But why when your smart enough to go through college for free. Because of Plyer vs. Doe he allowed to go to K-12, and i think that ,that's a trap to say the least. When your in high school what is one of the many things taht the teac hers and your parents embled i you. Get good grades and you can go to college, but not for him he can get excellent grades and he can get a job and save up to go to college. America the melting pot as it was, is nothing but a pot of lies and misconceptions, as the dominate cultures fear the new enrties. How can we be this melting pot if we are afraid of the ingredients that make us special. There are those out west who fear this event stating that thenew culture will simply take over the current one, leaving tham with nothing. Mexicification is one of the colorful terms used to describe a part of town where there is a large population of unassimulted Hispanic people. Unassimulated thats what scares them that they won't like what they like and they would buy the things they buy. That they will shop at their stores and buy from theri people. Which is bad also but, their reason is totally different. The reason they fear change is because some of them maybe illegal and wish not to take a cajnce and get caught. Feeling that they can only trust themselves they keep to themselves for protection and safety. But we can't live on in fear of on another something has to give, America is suppose to be this great place of opportunites and dreams open for anyone. But as long as you meet our rules and regulations, globalization has played a part in this also by promoting America as such. So when others in foreign countries hear how if they can make it to America they can proved a better life for their families they go for it. It doesn't matter what it might take, their families worth it and if it's too dangerous tpo bring their family along they simply send money back home. To help their family, and they think they're just fine. Besides we need them more than they need us, without illegal immigrants our economy woukd crumple and fall into a depression, one that would rival the dust bowl.

movie tiffy

If a studio were to make a movie about my life and would be called Realize me Please, it would probaly be done by director Joel Schumacher. For those of you who don't know Joel is the man who directed 23 the pyhco thriller starring Jim Carrey I don't know if alot of people saw it. I would like if I could play myself and if not a adventurous new actress, with spunk and plenty of sacasim. The setting of the movie would circle all around Georgia because as a child I did alot of county hopping. Then once I got older we went to the Carribean and saw a many islands and tourist traps. The movie would also hit spots like Flordia, Texas, California, and New York. Then once I became a senior for our senior trip we all went over sees to France, Rome, and Germany. The script would be done with the movie opening up towards the end of a scene and the a slow rewind to take us back through all the turns that got us to that situation. With twist and turns of betrayal and heartbreak, there will be navie teenagers,over worked and under sexed parents. Travel to avoid the troubles and mishaps of a particular area. And ofcourse the great relazation of all the wrongs done at the end, but nothing seems to get better only worse. Because know our character knows that what she is doing is wrong but sees no reason why to stop it. I f she doesn't get caught, little does she know that she is not one who may place judgement or critic on anyone. With this haunting question that plagues the latter chapters of the movie "Is it really cheating if you never get caught? And everyone is happy and or content?"

Caino

I have a dog his name is Caino Jack Davis-Dortch, he's balck and white a clasical mutt if I ever saw one. He is mainly white all over with black spots , but his ears are his claim to fame they are where most of his spots lie. And what all the strangers fuss over and just have to touch. He is a hybrid of Dalmation and Akita and he is a i don't know i can't sum all of him up into one word. So i will try and describe him in the following paragraph the best i can. He's very picky about the dogfood he eats but when he gets hungry enough he will eat just about anything you bring him. We have gone through atleast two different types of dog food over him. He has can and packet dog food, dry bag dog food and dog food conditments like gravy and ect like treats.He eats chicken, corn, cornbread, bacon, cherry tomatoes, laffy taffy, and ice cream, to name a few. He also almost has a dresser full of clothes that we have gotten him for the holidays and just because. He has a Halloween , Christmas, and the 4th of July he hates his Halloween costume because it has booties. And he will spend atleast 12 minutes if not more trying to get those booties off, walking around the house shaking his paws one by one trying to free himself. He also has clothes for the winter like sweaters and hoodies, he likes these clothes. Because he has made a connect with tyhe clothes and going for a ride in the car, the park, Pet Smart, or ect. Either way he gets out of the house for awhile and get sto show off. WEhen he gets into the car he is too happy then he loves to go for rides in the car so that he can stidck he haed out of the window and hang on to the side of the car. You know he fell out one time and scared the living hell out of me, I now know to lock the windows when he gets in the car. He has made another connection between a certain place on the right side of the car door and the window going down. Also when we have to leave him alone at the house to go out to eat or places that do not allow dogs, he has his own little adventurees in the house. One time when we had gotten bacj from the movies we found him by the window waiting anf inside the house all thge living room pillows on the floor and the refrigerator door open. Then he were to be upset at us we would find our blinds in pieces on the floor. Either by the gfact that he was left alone or if we had not left the blinds up far enough for him to look out them. We would then come in and ask him Caino did you do this? and he would run away to hide under the bed. His secert hideaway where he beleives no one can fiund or get him. But thats my dog and i love him more than anything else like a family member or a brither no one can take his place with me.

The Evolution of your birthday

When your a baby for your first birthday, you remember little if anything of that day. It's more a celebration for your parents of their new arrival. As a matter of fact most of the one year birthday parties i have attended were more for the parents then the childerns. Well maybe the early parts of the party like the a.m. parts till around I say like 6 or 5 p.m., is when the grown up tends to put all the childern to sleep or send them outside to play. Then it just turns into another gathering/ get to together they turn on their music and go out and get alcohol and ect. for their party. And then once you get alittle older and are able to recognize what is going on around you, your parents tends to give you themed parties. Like that of Barbie and Sponge Bob with the character displayed all over the house, on the cake, and any party decorations in sight. Also they start inviting other childern your age in or in that age range to come over to the house to help aid in your party. This kinda gets you into the mind frame of having parties with peolpe there to help you celbrate your big day. Your parents take pictures, record it wioth their camcorder, and make little goodie bags for you guests. Hoping that they have a good time and to come back again real soon. Then you start to head towards your pre-teen or young adult stage when you want to branch off more from your parents and start to try and plan your own party. You may or may not still want to maintian the theme trtadition of your birthday. And your parents appearance starts to become more scare, if they're even there. Your parties change from small gatherings of a bunch of little children to large celebrations with music, food, and maybe even live entertainment. Like that of house,slumber,dinner, and surprise parties, that may flood your child/young adulthood. So we have made a progression of sorts from your almost nono-existence first birthday party to more detailed and elaborate 16 and 18th birthday parties that you may never forget. Or you could end up being a busy body like me with a combination birthday , we go to the movies forst as a group, then later on that night we go out to eat, and finallt later on we go to a club and IHOP after to end the night off right. I don't really know why club goers love Waffle House and IHOP so much.
