Animal of the Week #5: Leopards

Leopards are one of the largest secretive carnivores. Leopards pretty much eat just about anything they would like to. They prey on fish, reptiles, birds, hares, and monkeys. They really like their meat. (: They live in sub-Saharan Africa, northeast Africa, Central Asia, India, and China. Many leopards are endangered especially outside of Africa. Leopards have many talents; they are the strongest climber and swimmer in the cat family. Leopards are nocturnal, hunting by night while spending most the day resting, usually draped on tree limbs or lying in thick undergrowth. Female leopards can give birth at any time of the year. When the cub is born, the mother usually keeps them around her until the cub is about 22 months. Females are capable at breeding when they are just 2 years old! That is crazy stuff right there! Leopard babies weigh around 500g at birth and their eyes open after a week. They are also very adorable, well at least I think so. (: Would you like to learn more about leopards?

Here is a 3 mintue video on Leopards from the National Geographic:

Quote of the Week #5

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone. People even more then things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anyone." -Audrey Hepburn

- Personality can make a less attractive person beautiful. These quotes is mainly saying that if you speak words of kindess or seek out the good in people, soon people will see the good in you and think you are absolutely beautiful. Also, people have feelings & you should never throw a person out of a group or leave them out. Everyone should be treated equally, and not be judgmental against them because they might be different. You are no better than them, so stop acting like it.

Song of the Week #4: Innocent by Taylor Swift

Kayne West totally humiliated Taylor at the 2009 VMA for winning female video of the year over Beyonce. He had a different opinion about how things went and he should have kept that to himself. Taylor wrote this song for him telling him its okay and she forgives him about everything that happened that night. Taylor went off of Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace for a long time. She was so emotionally hurt by this, Kayne made her feel like she was nothing and her songs weren't any good. She spent about 5 months writing these new songs to connect with all different people. Kayne performed a song that kind of back fired at Taylor, if you want to view that video click here. Also, this song also connects with people that have been having a hard time and wanting to get back on the right path. This song is very inspiration because you can start over with stuff and be a brand new you. Life is a tough crowd, but it's never too late to just be you again, innocent. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. (:

Let me know what you think about it! I hope it is very inspirational to you, it surely was to me. (:

Poem of the Week #7

One Heart to Hold

She's holding onto him

She's holding him tight.

He's scared to lose her.

but her heart is out of sight.

She belongs to someone else.

And he'll never know,

How much he meant to her.

His feelings, he couldn't show.

He couldn't understand her.

Miles apart inside,

hand in hand.

Feelings seem to subside.

Holding her heart close,

protecting herself from pain,

For her love to him, was merely a game.

She longs for him in the rain,

And she cry's for him in the dark.

She has to let go, her heart is being torn apart.

She's weaker than she appears,

but stronger than she knows.

And I guess this is the way,

True love, truly goes.

Pumpkin Carving!

Carving pumpkins is so much fun! You can carve a pumpkin at any age, it doesn't matter if your 5 or 100! You get to make your own design with the pumpkin and pick out all the guts in it. How many of you enjoy doing that? I know I do, I carve pumpkins every year with my family and it is a bunch of fun! Well it's right around Halloween time, and I thought I might show you guys some awesome pumpkin carvings. My sister is good at carving pumpkins, but me, I can't. These people really know how to decorate a pumpkin, look!

Poem of the Week #6 : You

The first thing I think of
When I think of you,
Is your wonderful smile.
The second would be your adorable laugh.
I could go on and on,
But the list would never end.

When I think of the short time

That we've been together
And of all of the happy memories we've already shared
It amazes me to no end
And I know that we were meant to be together.
I look at you and see overflowing love, hope, and joy
As well as charm, strength, happiness and dignity.
With all of these wonderful qualities
It's no wonder I love you so.
