So I always try to stay open minded about religion and think that everyone has a right to their own beliefs. I was personally raised as a Methodist but I just don't feel that strongly about religion. I think of it as a good story book with some history behind it.  Read More »

So as an American it is our right to make our own decisions and decide what is best for our families. But, lets face it the majority of America is ignorant and worse of all believes what someone else tells them or even the box that contains the product, made by the manufacture, that make millions for selling you poison.  Read More »

So a new Adam Sandler film hit the theaters this weekend and me being a devoted fan went out to enjoy the flick. I have to say that I liked, wasn't his best work but, I like a good old stupid movie. I personally prefer a good old stupid movie that just relaxes you and gives you a good laugh here and there. Checking out the ratings for the movie, it received horrible ratings as if it was another Norbit or something. If you skeptical then just wait for it to come out on video. I personally thought it had some pretty funny parts.

Do ever feel like you just don't belong and your trying to figure out your place. Have I always been an outsider, a stranger to this world? I don't have the typical question of what I want to do with my life but, is there anyone in this world that understands me and I am not questioning their intentions. It may come across to you that maybe I am just too paroniod of a person but, I can assure you that I am 100% not. I moved to a different state to get away from my family, who depresses me and to move closer to my boyfriend. I constantly find myself wanting to just be alone, in order to maintain my determination. I just don't know, I am in a weird state of mind.

As we become more culturally evolved we tend to develop new disease, new addictions and alternate lifestyles. Do these tendencies just arise out of no where, is what I always tend to wonder. In all reality most of them or just ways to make excuses for why we are not successful, and a way to get pity from those that have a little more to give. Sure there a legitimate diseases, addictions and lifestyles but when is someone going to drawl the line. I say get off your ass and make things happen. Don't just talk about the things you are going to do and sit around watching the world go by! TV addiction, give me a break!

So I am taking this World Religions class and recently we just covered Hinduism. Our teacher told us about this movie Water which I have never heard of but is supposed to be pretty good. Indian culture calls for arranged marriages so the setting is based on this fact. An eight year old is wed to a thirty-five year old man and from there the man dies, leaving the eight year old windowed. In Indian culture, widowed women have to move to a separate village with fellow widowed women and this is where the story takes place. I thought it sounded like a very interesting to film. Don't know if anybody else has heard of it but, I will let you know when I watch it.

The funny thing about family is that your whole life is molded on their beliefs, you don't realize it yet. Personally I grow up in a family that shows no affection, not even a hug. Well being raised in a household like that can make it real hard in future relationships. My first real boyfriend wanted to hold my hand and I couldn't even stand the thought, I automatically thought it was sissy. I guess it doesn't help to be raised in a household with three brothers and being the only girl. As you get out in the world, and start traveling the globe, learning about new religions, cultures and societies you realize that you have been living in a nut shell.  Read More »

If alcohol is a depressant than why do people tend to drink more when they are depressed? I think its a way to escape into a world of "I don't give a f***k" and the night is being built on nothing but regret. I have to say that its very hard to tell what a drunk person really wants to do. You try to protect your friends from the harm that they will inflict upon themselves but, do they really, really want to do that? Will this be something that they will regret the rest of their lives or was the alcohol a way to get the guts to do it?  Read More »
