CARS CARS CARS!

I know that this year many of my class mates, and me, are getting there license. It can be a fun and frustrating experience, or at least for me. i am trying to get my parents to let me have a new car for my birthday but I don't think its going to happen unless I pay for ALOT of it by myself. So I decided to look up which cars would be best for someone like me! This would also give me major points to show my parents how much I care about this subject. I found an article about the best car to get a new teenager. This article is about what would be safest. The safty depends on the size, how new it is, if it is dull or dream car and if it is basic or loaded (basically safty technoligy that may or may not help). After readina this artical I depicted that the safest car would be a medium sized car. Enough room to protect someone, but not big enough to bulldoze over other cars. Another thing I figured out was that it would be better to get a fairly used car, but of a reliable brand, that could last up to seven years like a Honda. to me it would not matter if it was a dull or dream car, as long as it looked fairly nice. Lastly, I think that a fairly new "loaded" car would help. I would like the technolligy to stay safe, but I wouldnt need alot of it.

Confidence

I just read an article from a cosmo magazine about how to be confident with yourself. it was really inspiring and i think more people would be self confident if they read articles like this. This article is about boosting your self confidence while your at oarties, school, dates or work. Some things are as easy as smiling. I have never really thought about it before but i think if you smile it really can boost your self confidence. it also shows people you are a nice an d funny person who is willing to laugh and have fun! Smiling will make people feel comfortable around you, and a smile back is an automatic confident booster for almost anyone. Another confident booster is as easy as making someone laugh. I know that it is not as easy for some people. But for naturally funny people this could help you out alot!

Ghost Whisperer stalker

Recently Jennifer Love Hewitt, or "The Ghost Whisperer" has won a restraining order against a 62 year-old man who has been "stalking her". The judge granted a three year restraining order against David Nolte, a 62 year old man who, according to Hewitt, sold his house in Colorado and moved to Los Angeles to be closer to her. Jennifer also has gotten many letters for Nolte. The man also had appeard at Hewitts mothers house oate at night. If i had a stalker i would be very very scared. This article drew my attention because you always watch t.v. shows about how fans have stalked there favorite actor or singer, but I have never actually read about it or even heard about a real life example. If I was Jennifer I would deffinatly be scared. But who knows, she might be blowing it out of perportions.

old new marrige

I recently read an article about how two senior citizens living in an independent living center who have recently got married. Dorothy Taylor, 84, and Duane Williams, 82, were married Saturday at a Tinley Park independent living center. Many family and friends attended the wedding. the two had been bridge partners and friends for a while, until Duane decided to kiss her. After there first kiss they got married a week later. "When you're 84 and 82, you don't need a long engagement," he said. I think this is a really cute sweet article. its kinda funny yet inspiring. It shows that you can find love at any point of your life, no matter your age. I think this article is also a little funny, because i have never heard of anyone that old getting married, not like a laugh out funny but like a cute funny. i hope that more Older people would take chances like these two.

video game addiction?

Since video games have become so advanced these days, many teenagers get defensive, addicted or obsessed with them. Recently a teen boy shot his parent of the game Halo 3. Daniel Petric is from Indiana, and recently had a trial about the death of his parents. He had shot his parents after they took the game away from him, thinking at the time it would be a good idea to have his parents be gone forever. Daniel shot both of his parent but only his father survive. His defense? He claimed he was addicted to video games. The judge did not think this was a good excuse and sentanced him to life in prison. i think that this was a pittyfull excuse. being addicted to video games would not make you shoot your parents, and if you shot them because they took away one video game then i think you have other problems on your hands... I think that Daniel should not be sentenced to life in prision but should have a pretty hard consequnce because of what he did.

blog post.

I have just started th book called Have You Found Her. by Janice Erlbaum. It is about a women who grew up in a shelter until she was a young adult, then went on to be a successful business women. Her name was Janice, and ever Wednesday she has volunteered her time at the shelter and made jewelry with the young women for the past two and a half years, trying to help these women because she knew what they went threw. She became known as "the bead lad". So far i think it is really interesting to read about how someone would go back to a shelter like that, because there is one part in the book where all the girls Janice is talking to say there never going to come back. I do not know why she is volunteering yet, but i thinks its really touching to know that even with their busy lives some people still take time to go and help instead of just putting money in a bucket for who knows what. I hope that when i grow up i can still find the time to help people that need it through my busy life style.
