Drugs

Drugs are the worst thing you can let get into your life, atleast in my opinion. They have bad effects that can harm you and even the people around you. I know some people that have used drugs before and had gotten in trouble for using them. They will mess up your life big time. If you get caught with them, you can go to jail for a long time. Once you are in jail, you won't be able to have any of those drugs. What would you do then? Some people might even have a mental breakdown. They will have to get professional help to kick the addiction. That will be hard for some people to do. In my opinion, it would just be best if everyone stayed away from drugs. People have died from just being around drugs. Anything bad can happen when you get around drugs. People get shot just from going up to the wrong person and asking them if they have any drugs. Also, someone that just had an intake of drugs could drive and run over someone because they don't have complete control of themselves. They don't have complete control of their minds. No one deseves to be killed over something stupid like drugs. Do you know anyone that does drugs? Well, if you do I would yell at them and tell them that something like drugs will kill them. Let me lnow what they have to say. I hope they tell you that they have quit using them or is going to stop using them.

Animal of the Week #6 : Penguins

Do you like penguins? Have you ever seen them? Yes, you can find them in the zoo. I'm talking about in their natural habitat outside of the zoo. Did you know that there are at least 18 different species of penguins? That is intense right?! The pengiun range from the largest living species which is the Emperor Pengin all the way to the smallest penguin species which is the Little Blue Penguin. Penguins can swim over 25 miles per hour because they have such strong legs and arms. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sealife caught while swimming underwater. They spend about half of their life on land and half in the oceans. Since penguins live in the water half of the time they can be endangered by oil spills, water pollution, and over harvesting. Penguins will not cross warm ocean water; therefore, they are all found in nature south of the equator. So, they mainly live in the Artic Ocean. The Galapagos penguin lives the farthest north, near the equator in the cold waters around the islands of the same name.
Penguins are very intersting and cute animals, they have the ability to live on both land and water which I think is pretty awesome.

Quote of the Week #6

Everybody has their dreams and they don't want to be made fun of for that. The real people that love you and want you to succeed will push you to your greatest so you can become someone you have always wanted to be. (: Real friends won't make you feel little and make you feel like you can't do anything. Real friends would compliment you and tell you that you can do anything you put your mind to. Hang around people that will make you feel good about being you. People that want you to change for them because you don't fit in are just wrong, and the truth is they will probably never accept you for who you truly are. So find friends that really love and don't care if you act crazy in public because they would probably join you. I have a few of those friends. (:

Poem of the Week #8: The Strongest Girl I Ever Knew

The Strongest Girl I Ever Knew

She never got to dance,

Or go to her own Prom.

She never got the chance,

To forget where she came from.

She never got to kiss,

A man she idolized.

She never felt love's bliss,

'Cause she was paralyzed.

She never got to talk,

About love with a smile.

She never got to walk,

Down a Church's Aisle.

She never got to say,

Those precious words "I Do".

But she was far and away,

The strongest girl I ever knew.

She couldn't brush her hair,

Or put make up on her face.

She couldn't hold you dear,

Or give you a warm embrace.

She couldn't clasp her hands,

As if in the form of prayer.

She couldn't understand,

Why she was in a wheelchair.

She never showed her fears,

Or let you hear her cries.

She never showed the tears,

That fell down from her eyes.

She never looked for pity,

Or sympathy from you.

That's why she'll always be,

The strongest girl I ever knew.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift -

She was born on December 13th, 1989. Born and raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, but now lives in Nashville, Tennessee. She was only 16 when she released her first album "Tim McGraw, " in 2006. In 2008 Taylor released her second album "Fearless." She also won 4 Grammys including Album of the Year. On October, 25th her new album "Speak Now" came out and sold 1,047,000 copies within the first week. Taylor has made songs that she feels like connects with her and others. She said in an interview with People magazine "I have never wrote a song that didn't mean something to me." She also wrote on her Official website that "These songs are made up of words I didn't say when the moment was right in front of me. These songs are open letters. Each is written with a specific person in mind, telling them what I meant to tell them in person. To the beautiful boy whose heart I broke in December. To my first love who I never thought would be my first heartbreak. To my band. To a mean man I used to be afraid of. To someone who made my world very dark for a while. To a girl who stole something of mine. To someone I forgive for what he said in front of the whole world."

The Boys -
Taylor has had bad luck with relationships in the past two years. From Joe Jonas onto Taylor Launter then John Mayer. In 2008, Taylor and Joe started a relationship that quickly ended before it even could began. On the Fearless album "Forever & Always" indicated her heartbreak from Joe. The song mainly describes how Joe could tell her that they were going to be together forever and always, but then came along some other girl that took him away (there is a song called "Better then Revenge" on the Speak Now album which really reflects Taylor's feelings on that situation.) Also, there is a song on the album called "Dear John" which reflects on Taylor's relationship with John Mayer. It was a short relationship, but he mainly used her and messed with her feelings. Listen to the song and you will understand.

The Fame-

Taylor has to deal with the fact that she is out in the public eye and yes, she will get criticized for almost every little thing she does. She understands that and mainly ignores the mean people and looks for what she can improve on. Taylor singed Innocent at the VMA's this year to show Kayne that it's okay and she forgives him for humiliating her at 2009 VMA's. Taylor said "'For me, I felt like performing VMAs was the best way to go out there and sing how I was actually feeling, being there really helped put all that behind me.. I've written all the songs on it about things that have happened over the last two years, and a lot has happened over the last two years. It’s been every eventful, a lot of adventures and misadventures." Her motto about dealing with fame is "There’s nothing that hard about it. It's not that tough, I’m not complaining."
