Breaking the Law

So i have managed to get yet another ticket...in a weeks time. I wish i could say that i know of other people who have done the same thing...but that would be a lie. So i got a ticket for running a red light. oh joy! not really...so now one of the tickets is going to go on my record and my fines will be atleast 600$ if not more. plus the price of traffic school. and court...lets not forget about court. Danget i am screwed. I need a job. I need to stop disappointing my parents and breaking their trust...that would be a nice thing as well. I just dont know anymore...stupid tickets...and i am not mad at the police officers, because they have a very tough job. I am just mad at the fact that it seems like now it is always me! always me! i just have to like not get any more tickets for 3 years and my one count will go off my record. but apparantly for me i cant even go for a week without getting a ticket. so pray for me...that i find a job...and that i just stop disappointing my parents...and that i can drive again because right now i have to be honest...i really really dont want to drive ever again...i would rather ride a bike or take the bus.

I am lucky. I am blessed. I am saved.

homelessness and poverty

so i am doing research on homlessness right now and i found shocking statistics about homelessness. such as 67% of homeless people are single parent families. and only 30% are because they are dependent on drugs and alcohol. and 40% are whole families with both parents. it breaks my heart to think of children living their childhoods on streets and in poverty. it just tears me up inside and i have been reading what they have been doing about the problem and so far i have found good plans....but where is the action? i have seen a lot of action but i kept on reading i found that the number of homelssness people just keep on increasing....on 2004 it incresed by 14% and who knows where it is now.

action needs to be taken. these people dont deserve to live like this. any ideas?

Poetry?

I stare at this picture in hopes that the salty ocean air will embrace me and set a sense of peace upon my heart. If I stare long enough I almost feel like the sun is peering out to find me. A game of hide and seek to escape from my worries. I feel the water rush over my feet, and I sway with the palm trees as the cool ocean breeze strikes my face and fills my lungs. I have done it, I have escaped. Then the school bell rings.

I am lucky, I am blessed, I am saved.

eclectic

so i have realized after listening to my ipod oh so much, that i am very oddly eclectic. i love a wider arrange of music, from mac dre to matthew west, from mozart to puddle of mudd. i just like music! who created music? who decided that music was necessary to life? i wonder what was the first song ever, i wonder if like the first music was created by animals.....woah. or did God create the first music was created by God.

music=sounds that flow into a rythmn of beats that create something that the ear enjoys...possibly????

Random Blogging

So it's funny how quickly things change. 2 weeks ago I wasn't the person I am today. I am stronger and can notice a lot faster when I fall weak and suceptible to manipulation. It doesn't just click for me what I am doing right, and even though sometimes I would believe myself to be wrong because of words that have been spoken to me, and most of the time the person opposite of me doesn't even realize or intentially manipulate me.

It is through this, that I know with God as my strength , I have to take a stand, and I have to step up to the plate and prepare myself for troubles, and prepare myself for heartache. Last night I talked to someone who I haven't talked to in a long time, in 5 months actually. And! I talked to another person who I haven't talked to in a year, and it felt so good to connect with those people again that I had lost touch with.

I love being social, and I love every one of my friends and I am so grateful for all of my friends that I have been so blessed with, and even when I don't talk to them in a long time, or pretty much abandon them, at the end of the day they are still there.

I am lucky, I am blessed, I am saved.

I am lucky, I am blessed, I am saved.
