very late quote day

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
Eleanor Roosevelt



I apologize it has been quite a while. Working thirty four hour work weeks with attending three classes all coming up with finals I sadly have not had time to think for myself. I did get to enjoy my family's company. My deven year old brother is up to my shoulder and more adorable than ever.
I like the quote above because lately it seems like my life evolves around discussing others and quite frankly i hate it. So its now time for miraculous change and i am switching my life upside down to become a better person.
Alot will be changing so please bear with me.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

the hills

Many people in my life are obsessed with the show the hills. I honestly do not get it. I have seen a few episodes just because i happen to be in the room because this is where the computer is. Some people do not believe its completely staged and scripted. The sad thing is, is that they are complete idiots and then dialogue is soooo dry that it makes me want punch all their writers in the face. If I wanted to watch idiots I would find people myself

tolerance? really? are you sure?

Ok first off I do not like looking up our governenr to find out exactly what laws he just signed to find pictures of him in a speedo. I do not ever want to see any of my politicians in a speedo. It is wrong.
Back to what I am really baffled at today. So I read up a little on the laws he just passed, you know the ones banning discrimination in schools, they are gross. It is so gay kids or transexuals or whatever do not get discrminated against. First off you are not really allowed to say anything that may be even a little discriminatory in their eyes about alternative lifestyles. Are you FREAKING kidding me?!!! I could honestly throw up with the lack of intelligance the people that our running our land have. Is there not a FREAKING first ammendment anymore? Seriously? It is to the point where if a mom decided to say that she believed that marriage should be between a man and wife she could get in some serious troubles. How is this tolerance? SHe is not bashing or ridiculing just stating her view on a topic. I as a christian had to grow up in schools that in my view point taught me nothing but lies in science. How is that not being intolerant. I also must state that there are a lot more christians in schools then there are homosexuals.
First of all I am sorry for any homosexual kid or transexual that got bullied or got his ass kicked but I still have a right to free speech. And may I mention that if they are going for the whole TOLERANCE take on this how is it tolerant to anyone who opposes. They are making it illegal to teach about the nuclear family.
I will continue this tomorrow after I research more.

seriously san diego?

So I was looking at the news on cox.net san diego when I found this article. Now I realize I already wrote an entry today but this upset me so much that i had to write what I like to call an EMERGENCY blog.

Failing Eighth-Graders Not Being Held Back

11-14-2007 5:08 AM
(San Diego, CA) -- The San Diego Unified School District says only 28 of the hundreds of eighth-graders who did not meet middle school graduation requirements were held back from high school. Under a new policy, students who ended the year with two or more Fs in math, English, history or science were supposed to be held back, but most were allowed to move on because their parents took advantage of a provision. About 11-percent of eighth-graders, or 856 students, fell into this category.



Seriously San Diego? Let's reward children with bad grades. Sounds awesome. I cannot state too much on this since I never attended public jr. high and I only had one year of it while I was homeschooled. But, if these kids cannot handle the work of the classes they are in why would anyone believe they could handle high school. Not only is the curriculum harder but there is more going on socially and emotionally as well. I just don't get it. It is setting them up for failure in the long run. Now I realize that there are exceptions like a kid couldn't concentrate because his parents are getting divorced at that time but I am tlking in general. Kids that age don't tend to have the clearest mind set and if they are already showing signs of not being responsible then they need to realize that before shoving them in with the sharks.

presidential issues

I ws avoiding my term paper this morning so I decided to look up some presidential things on line to keep myelf updated. I have no chosen which way I swing politically so I was just looking up ALL candidates to see what I could find out about their views on diferent things. Anyway while I was looking I found a site that showed how much funding candidates were getting and if they were spending it. I am not quite sure how accurate the website is but I came to realize how much money America wastes on silly political stuff. I mean sure its importan to get your name out there and have America know your stand on things but I don't see how it takes millions and millions of dollars. It makes me mad and just proves to me that they don't really care about the country they just care about winning. Is that just me? It literally makes me sick inside that, that money is being used for that. There are starving and abused people that live in shelters or on the street that probably deserve that money more than these rich folk. I honestly believe we as a nation can think of a better way to be avle to make an educated decision about our next president without spending that much money.
