My sad love story.

I grew up not knowing what to do.
Needed a family so started rollin’ with the crew.
Then I met a girl who needed a family too.
That was the first time I knew the true meaning of the words “I love you.”
Cause I loved her and she loved me.
She made me feel like a king.
And she looked like a beautiful queen.
She was also the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.
If you’ve ever been in love then you’ll know what I mean.
But I lost my girl and I don’t know why.
She broke up with me; I felt bad but she was the one who cried.
But I will still love her till I die.
Cause she was my first love.
And when she met me she fell in love with a thug.
But just know I love her hugs.
I thought she was a queen, but she’s more like an angel from above.

In the next scene they move into the new house, into the white neighborhood. The very first night that they are there, they get their behinds bombed on! Shoot did you really think that they were going to just say “oh no we got bombed we should leave”? Yeah right! They said “hell no we from the hood and you know payback is a trick!” so they start to make plans to get back at all the whites in the neighborhood. Finally they get the hook up with some bombs. They all snuck out one night and hit up every house in the neighborhood, they put bombs on all four corners of every single house (except for theirs because it was already gone). And the next day, right when all the other neighbors were getting home, they set off all of the bombs at the exact same time! You know what the neighbors did? They cried and cried and tried till they had dried their eyes out! Do you know what the Youngers’ did? They straight laughed till they all had a six-pack! That’s what happens when mess with the brotha’s from the hood.

Relationships

Well first of all relationships are always hard as hell to stay in, tell you find that perfect person for you. Most of the time it takes a hell of a lot of time to find that perfect person that fits your needs and truly love you and respects you all the time. I am kind of stuck in a bind right now it sucks ass cause I have never been in this kind of bind before so I have no damn clue of how to deal with it. It sucks so bad I wish I would have never got my self into this bind if I could go back I would change all of my past, besides one or two things and that is two people that really mean a lot to me. I have feelings for both of them but just being in this situation confuses the hell out of me and it sucks. I wish to god that I would have never got into this situation cause it would make a lot of things so much better for me and two other people to.

I work the events over at UVU so I get to watch the shows that are going on. This month since its Christmas most of the events are Christmas themed. Last week I was at the Kurt Bestor concert. The school was going to the same show up in Salt Lake, but since I already saw it I didn’t want to go see it again. I’m not so into classical music, but since it was Christmas music it wasn’t so bad. I got to see a show called “The Forgotten Carols”, I thought that show was really good because of the music that was played. I’m working my butt off just so I can get enough money to buy some stuff for my sisters for Christmas. I really wish that I could buy them everything that they have on their wish list, but there is no way that is going to happen this year. Even though their not going to get everything that they want I hope I can still make it a good Christmas for them.

Heritage
What I think heritage is, in my words, is something that you have in a culture like ideas and stander such as possessions that you value.

Now with me, I don’t have any kind of a culture or heritage of my own nor does my family have a heritage or culture.

A heritage is a good type of culture to have in many ways like it can protect you from things. It can have a big influence on your family. It can also make it so you cant do certain things or touch different things.

I don’t see why people have a heritage, its just another thing that gets in your way of living way on my perspective but I can see why other people have it. It’s part of there life and they like to have it.

With me it just seems just like a waste of time that what I think.

So I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Since lately things have been kind of bad, not only for me but, for others in the same boat. You know how foster/proctor care is supposed to be awesome and things are supposed to go really great? Well, lately things have been falling apart in some of my friend’s homes, and I’m a little weary about it. Like in their homes we are supposed to technically feel comfortable, not feeling like you would rather be in d.t than there. Or being locked up for the rest of the foster care days. My foster sister M is feeling really resentful and hateful against my foster mom, even though in my opinion she is relaxed and doesn’t have as much rules as most foster/proctor homes. I mean of course my friends…some of their homes are totally and completely a waste of time. Like if you wanted to get put down that much you might as well go to jail where all they do is put you down because at d.t you don’t get put down AS much. At their homes your supposed to feel like your at home and comfortable. Not going to bed crying and crying from all the things they said to you. And as for your own family, your foster parents are not supposed to put them down or make them feel awkward. So basically, I guess you could say I’m most angry that homes are doing that to their kids and putting them down. It just irritates me, because your supposed to feel safe and relaxed. Not uptight at them or anything.

Well I guess that now that Walter threw away all the money that he and his family had, most of their dreams are gone. The whole family is now going to be in a tight situation without that money. Walter might have ruined Beneatha’s chance of going to school. Honest truth I think that Walter should now have to work as much as possible to make up for what he did. To me he owes his family more than just the money because not only did he end up broke and with no liquor store, but his family also ends up with nothing. If I was in that situation I would take the other mans offer to move into a different neighborhood. I mean if they were offering me three times as much as the house costs, I would take the money and move to a different house. I would buy another house in the same neighborhood and hope for the guy to come by and offer me some more money so that I can do the same thing again and again.

Sum more life…

Why do people think that life is so hard? Life’s not hard it just takes forever to get through. For some reason when some one is about to die then (magically) all of their sins get washed away. I mean they could have robbed an old lady and shot a puppy but once they are about to die its automatically sad. Like, I don’t get the thought process of the world I guess “a person is smart but people are stupid”. I guess I am just the different one because no one get my logic and it is incredibly hard to explain how my thoughts, styles and stereotypes are. I do want the world to know the troubles and the pro’s and con’s of the world are but I can’t teach what I don’t fully understand.however when I do I will help the world. That is…if I EVER get this society. Well I guess one day the world will find out itself. I decided (just now) not to help the world they are ignorant

I love Halloween. It’s one of the things that I look forward to each year. I think Halloween can be both good and bad. It can be good because you get to have a lot of fun, dress up however you want, and you get a ton of free candy. If your lucky you know someone who is throwing a Halloween party. It can be bad because in the past people have put chemicals on the candy that they hand out, and at a lot of Halloween parties there are drugs and alcohol. Fights can break out when people are intoxicated and around their friends.
Wearing a mask can make it where others don’t really see who you are, on Halloween masks are fun and a lot of people do it. Some people wear masks on a daily basis. I know I wear a mask every day to hide who I really am. Wearing a mask helps me protect myself because if no one knows me personally then there is less of a chance that they will be able to hurt me. My favorite Halloween memory is when I was five and my dad and me went trick or treating together. My least favorite memory is when I was at a Halloween party and I fell down the stairs in front of all my friends.

I think women should be able to hold any jobs regardless of anything. Women are people too. They deserve the same respect and rights to jobs and other things just like men. I don’t think there are any jobs that are specifically to men. I think that women can do the same things that men do.
I think Beneatha has the right to do what she wants. I also think that she doesn’t have to marry anyone if she doesn’t want to get married. She should be able to marry whomever she ants to marry, when she is ready. Beneatha also has the right to follow her dreams, and do what she wants to do. Just because she is not a man doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be able to have certain jobs or do certain things. Everyone is entitled to their rights.

Today we are writing about what is the important thing about having a good impression. I think that’s true because if you don’t have one you can be considered a bad influence on people. That’s kind of sad but if you have a good impression you will have more friends and you would be happier then someone that doesn’t have a good impression. You should wear nicer clothes start a conversation that everyone can find entertainment in it. You can also be more polite and that kind of stuff. I will tell you more but I can’t think of anything else right now so I’ll talk to you later.

I think that if anyone had to tell another person two things about themselves to impress someone, they would most likely say something positive about themselves. I mean it’s kind of obvious that they aren’t going to be saying the bad things because they are trying to impress the other person. To me it sometimes seems like some people are fake. I think like that about some people because they say that they are one way but when you really get to know them they are actually really different from what they said they are. Everyone should just be able to tell other people who they really are. Don’t try to be someone your not. So when you tell someone something and your trying to impress him or her come to them with the truth. Don’t just say all the positive things about you. I think you should also tell them what some of the negative things about you are. If they like you for who you are, they won’t care about the negative things as much.

A dream to achieve
There was one time that I had a dream that I really wanted to achieve, like really bad, but when the time I wanted to do it came, I couldn’t do it.

I kept on trying over and over again but no matter what I did or how hard I tried to achieve this dream it wouldn’t work.

Now all of this pissed me off so bad that I couldn’t achieve my dream because I loved this dream a lot.

I felt so bad inside my body because it was on of my biggest goals in my life but I just couldn’t do it. So eventually I gave up cause I figured if I kept on trying to achieve it that it was not just going to work.

Now if your all curious of what my dream was it is that I wanted to get a girlfriend that I could stay with for the rest of my life and have it so she would never cheat on me or ever break up with me, just us together for life.

Rap about life

I’m a player for sure and I love it.
Made bad choices now I go to summit.
But it’s good cause I’ll rise above it.
A lot of people at this school dreaming and wishing.
That one day we all get out of the system.
And I to hope this come true as well.
Cause being in the system is like being in hell.
It seems like I gave up and just fell.
But I’m only falling to my knees.
Putting my hands together and begging God please.
And he’ll help us players you just got to believe.
Just remember me when you alone in the streets
Cause I know sometimes things get rough
Cops don’t help they just put us in handcuffs
Cause they think we good for nothing thugs
No one listens to us kids not even the judge
But it’s just keep your money stackin’
And well all kick it when we gone in thugs mansion
Keep it real guys girls
And don’t forget we just living in a tough world

Life in my old group home
Well on august 13th of 07 I got sent to a group home. Which sucked it was 3 hours away from where I live now in Lehi and I was there for a long time. The first three months I did so bad I did not move anywhere in the program, but finally I got my stuff together and started to do better. I was moving forward quickly getting home visits and getting to see my family all the time and stuff like that. Then I would start going down hill again and then I would move up it sucked. Then I got a new case worker and he let me out after being there for 11 and a half months of hell. I left the group home on level 3, which is one level before I could graduate, but now I am still doing good staying drug free and living an honest life….

Why I’ve Been Pissed

I’ve been mad because I have six more months at the proctor house I don’t want to be at. My caseworker said that I still have a find to pay that’s about six hundred dollars and I have to pay it before I can go home. I can’t get a job I’m fifteen I’ve tried to get a job, but nobody wants to hire me. So I have to chill till April to turn sixteen to pay for my find.
Another thing that’s pissed me off is my brother doesn’t want me to come home. He doesn’t want me to come home because “He’ll just screw up again.” That pissed my off the most because I look up to him a lot.
So I’m probably not going to be myself for a while.

So there have been a lot of things going on lately. There’s been so much unnecessary drama in my life recently, I have hard times dealing with what’s going on. I’m glad that we blogg because I haven’t had many ways to vent. I go to therapy once a week and the only time it is ever ok is when I talk about my relationship with Angelo. Everything else is just going to hell. My dad was doing really bad for a while but all of a sudden he realized that he had hit rock bottom and the only way to go was up. He checked into a volunteer rehab program and had been clean from heroin for three months. I thought he was doing so well. Out of nowhere he stopped answering his phone and wouldn’t return my calls. I finally got a hold of his girlfriend and she told me what had happened.
My dad thought he was going to relapse, so he was going to check back into a rehab. He never made it there. Some of his old drug buddies said my dad owed them money, and that they wouldn’t tell us where he is until they got there money or their drugs. I have always seen things like this on movies; I just never imagined it could happen to my family. No one knows what drugs can really do until you get a reality check.

So this week I’m going to write about on Sunday that im going to get a tatoo. But I don’t know what im going to get it. I think im going to get it of a cross with r.i.p on top and grandpa on the bottom. Then have his birth day and the day he died in the cross.
The reason im doing this is couse he was like my best friend. He would take me to do everything and just all that grandpa stuff like taking me to baseball games and football games
So when he died I kinda lost my best friend the person I could tell everything to so that’s why I want to get that tattoo


Jasin

Today I’m going to write on how I think that crying makes me feel weak. My own personal opinion is that to me crying makes ME feel weak in front of others because on the outside I almost act like tuff and mean. But in reality I’m really actually insecure about myself. Hence why I act the way I do. Like sometimes others think that I’m all mean because I'm over confident or I’m to cocky for my own good. But really I’m just a person trying to get by in the world with out freaking out and have everyone tell me they hate me. Because to really understand someone, you have to know that about some people in the beginning. Sometimes people think that the people who are over confident don’t get hurt or don’t give a crap what others still say about them because it’s not true. People are always going to give a crap about what you say, even if you don’t know them. It’s all their insecurities coming out and kicking everyone in the face. So don’t judge people by the way they look or appear to act. Everyone has something to hide. Me its my insecurity.

Natasha

Today I guess I’m going to write about just some random things since it’s a “free write.” I guess I’ll write about what I did over the weekend. This last weekend that just past I just went to watch two soccer games and I went to play a little bit of soccer too. All of this was on Sunday since everyone is usually busy on Saturday. So we first went to the field where Grandview elementary was before they knocked it down. I went with two of my cousins and a couple of friends. We stayed there to play for probably two hours. Then after that we just sat there for a little while. What I thought was funny was that one of my friends had to call his tracker so he called his sister, and they three wayed his tracker. After that we went to watch a soccer game and then we went to play street soccer in an underground parking lot. That was pretty bad, but at the same time I was tired by the end of the first game. We played two games, and then I just left with one of my friends to go watch another soccer game. That was pretty much all I did that day…

I am so excited for Thanksgiving break next week. Last Thanksgiving I was up in Montana and I didn’t get to come home and see my family. I’m just happy that this year I’m going to be around them for the holidays. I got asked what holiday I liked better, Thanksgiving or Christmas and I really had to think about it for a little bit. I decided that I like Thanksgiving more because you get to spend all day eating really good food. My mom isn’t really into cooking, but we still get to stay home and eat all day. Another think that I like about Thanksgiving is that there is always the day after to go shopping for the day. Most stores have the after Thanksgiving sales, so it will be fun to go on a shopping spree with my mom. I look forward to the next couple of months, being with my family.

Karissa

What I like doing on thanksgiving.

Well usually every year I go down to sandy to my cousins’ house. We usually have a lot of people over there. They make a very big dinner, and it all tastes very delicious. I like it a lot, we usually all help cook everything cause if only one or two people cooked it would take at least two days to cook it all, cause there really is allot of food. Usually the dinner is served around six o’clock in the evening. After we are done eating we usually go downstairs and play x box. The game that we usually play is halo 2 and it is really fun, I like it a lot and we always play with at least four people. Sometimes we even play x box live with people all over the world it is really fun. Then around like ten o clock at night we finally go home and get rest. The next day we usually wake up really early and go do something fun. The reason I like thanksgiving is because you get to spend time with your family, eat good food, and just pretty much have a good time….
