"The Everyday" revisited

So there was a lot of stuff in the book that didn't make too much since. As I was reading the book (the stuff that I could actually understand) I flipped to the page where in big black bold letters said,"What happens when nothing happens?" (pg. 19, The Everyday) Well what does happen when nothing happens this could be taking in so many different ways like... what happens when there is something that is bothering you and you do nothing about it? You could end up driving yourself crazy dealing with stress that you do not need unless you do something about it. In our everyday lives we are forced to do something about most things but if we do not, something happens either way. So if you do nothing..nothing will happen and nothing is something! So in a since, nothing is everything and nothing is nothing being something.

I type in "nothing" in google images to see what came up. This picture just goes to show that nothing is something(there is something in that jar, whether it just be air, molecules, or simply just dust)nothing is captured!

wing earrings

Yesterday when I was wearing my simple wing earrings, that I love so much, I was getting so many great comments on them! And can you believe they were only a dollar.. yep one dollar! It just makes you think that the littlest and simplest things in life can get so much praise and you wouldn't even know it was a dollar. It really makes you want to stop and just appreciate the little things in your everyday life.

Audio Blog

Here is my audio blog... I took a while to get up because my original plan was to record my dogs playing. When they play they sound like Opera singers. Then I heard that someone had already recorded their dogs, so I wanted to do something different.I decided to sing with Sasha... We harmonized the song "unbreak my heart" By Toni Braxton and recorded my BIS 300 class. A special thanks to Ly for helping me =)

patterns in the sky

So after the third presentation today I was thinking about things that I usually don't realize on the way home. Usually when I am driving, I am concentrating on the road, but today, I couldn't help but realize the beautiful patterns in the sky that the geese were forming as they were flying south. There were so many of them flying it kinda made a eerie look in the sky with all the geese and the fog. I wish I could of took a picture but that would of resulted in a car accident and we wouldn't want that would we? =)

Smelly markers...Yummy!!

So in class we were using these smelly markers. If I was a little kid and had these I would think that all markers were smelly and maybe even taste them. I think that these markers should be for older kids and definitely not for kids under the age of eight. Although, they do have a good concept, I just don't think they are appropriate for the aged group they may be intended for.

Seriously? at Toys-R-Us?

Seriously... What has the world come to when you can't even be safe at Toys-r-us anymore? This is absolutely ridiculous ...No wonder they call it black Friday...



(CBS/AP) Two people are dead in a Black Friday shooting at a crowded Toys "R" Us in Palm Desert, Calif.

City Councilman Jim Ferguson says police have told him that the victims were two men with handguns who shot each other.

The councilman says his question is: who takes a loaded gun into a toy store. And his answer is: "I doubt it was the casual holiday shopper." Authorities are still investigating but indicate the shooting may have been gang related.

One woman says she was in the store looking at coloring books with her two young boys when there was a commotion in the next aisle. She thought it was a scramble for a sale, then heard gunshots. She says her four-year-old grabbed her leg and said he didn't want to die.

The violence erupted on the traditional post-Thanksgiving start of the holiday shopping surge, but accounts of what occurred inside the store were fragmentary or second hand and it was not clear whether it involved any shopping frenzy.

The Palm Desert Police Department received calls of shots fired around 11:35 a.m., Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez said. He said officers were still investigating what prompted the gunshots.

Immediately after the shooting, about 20 people rushed into the World Gym across the street from Toys "R" Us, the gym's assistant manager Glenn Splain told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

"They were crying, tearing and shaking," Splain said, adding that one woman came in cradling a baby.

"Some people got into a fight," said Splain, who spoke with some of the customers. "One of the guys here thought it was over a toy, but it got louder and louder and then there were gunshots."

Sarah Pacia of Cathedral City told The Desert Sun newspaper she was in the store with her two boys, ages 4 and 6, looking at coloring books when she heard a commotion in the next aisle. She thought it was people rushing to get a sale item. Then she heard three or four shots.

She said she froze, and store employees calmly escorted her out of the store.

"This is Toys "R" Us. There are kids shopping in there," Pacia said. Her son Jayden, 4, was clinging to her leg. He told her he didn't want to die, she said.

Toys "R" Us officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Palm Desert is about 120 miles east of Los Angeles.

Believe in your imagination

When the advertising group told us to make our own signs I was really excited. I believe now a days adults minds are so flooded with there everyday life stress that they forget to let their imaginations run free and to believe in fairy tales and happy endings. Sometimes its nice just to forget about our bills and mortgages and sit back and watch a Disney movie and actually believe it could happen...

The meaning of singing...

From Wikipedia......Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice, which is often contrasted with speech. A person who is singing is called a singer or vocalist. Singers perform music known as songs that can either be sung a cappella (without accompaniment) or accompanied by musicians and instruments. Singing is often done in a group, such as a choir. Nearly anyone who can speak can sing, since in many respects singing is merely a form of sustained speech. It can be informal and just for pleasure, for example, singing in the shower or karaoke; or it can be very formal, such as singing done professionally as a performance or in a recording studio. Singing at a high amateur or professional level usually requires a certain amount of innate talent and a great deal of regular practice, and/or instruction. [1] Professional singers usually build their careers around one specific musical genre and undergo voice training, provided by a voice teacher or coach throughout a career.

From the mind of Sarina.....
Singing to me is like the air I breath and the blood that runs through my veins. Singing can be a way of crying or a way of showing happiness. Music is a way to express things that happen in your everyday life. I believe now a days people are only in music for fame and not for the love a music. The radio stations play crap, music is not what it used to be although there are a few artist that stay original. I gave up on my dreams to become a singer to do something more realistic like school.. oh what a shame. I do love still expressing the way I feel through song.. like when im doing the dishes or just everyday activities.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving...isn't thanksgiving supposed to be a day for thanks and rest? When you have a big family like me its so hard to get to every ones house and make everyone happy. I have divorced parents and if I go to one of there houses first the other one gets upset.. why does a day that's supposed to be about giving thanks a family have to be so stressful? not to mention going to my boyfriends family as well. I used to love thanksgiving when I was younger just sitting around watching football and eating. Now, its just a huge stressful weekend of driving everywhere and hearing poeple say "what took you so long to get here?" ugh!

McCain gets schooled

I love this!!!

Fish and pedicure?

This is really strange one of my friends told me about this:

Flesh-eating fish: the daring new pedicure
At a Virginia salon, a type of carp (garra rufa) is used in the prep portion of a pedicure treatment, during which the fish nibble away dead skin cells. (Also called “doctor fish,” these toothless wonders were originally used to treat such conditions as psoriasis and eczema, so there’s no risk that you’ll lose a toe—phew!) According to salon owner John Ho, the nibbling is not painful but does tickle. He says the treatment leaves a smoother, longer-lasting pedicure—we say it sounds a little fishy.

On that day...

At 7:50pm Pacific time, 8:50pm Mountain time, 9:50pm Central time and 10:50pm Eastern time, people all over the United States of America waited patiently watching their TVs and checking their computers waiting for the Western states to close their polls and see which states had won which candidate. People may have been pre-pared but the feeling that most Americans had felt at 8:00pm Pacific time, 9:00pm Mountain time, 10:00pm Central time and 11:00pm Eastern time was shock. No matter who you were or who you voted for history was made on that day November Fourth, Two-Thousand and Eight at 8:00pm Pacific time, 9:00pm Mountain time, 10:00pm Central time and 11:00pm Eastern time. It was the best feeling most Americans had ever felt! I was so proud to be a young American on that wonderful day, November Fourth, Two-Thousand and Eight at 8:00pm Pacific time, 9:00pm Mountain time, 10:00pm Central time and 11:00pm Eastern time. What a victory!! YES WE CAN!!!

who will win

What an exciting day...kind of like New Years Eve where we all get to start over new. By the end of tonight we will all know who are next president will be. I can only hope for my canidate to win. The whole US is either watching TV or on the computer waiting for all the votes to tally up. All I know is that a huge change is coming and no matter how the election goes there is going to be alot of angry people. I have faith in my canidate and I feel that he will be the best for the job. He is the change we need. We only have a few more hours to know!!

What it means to be patriotic

In the myst of voting I was just wondering the meaning of patriotic...

Patriotic- Feeling, expressing, or inspired by love for one's country.

I would of thought it was going to be a longer definition than this.

Andy Warhal and his views of amazon

What is this? This is a page on a computer? What is a computer why didn’t I create such a thing. Why am I not a mask for Halloween ? I saw this page and thought of what wonderful art pages I could create. Is this Sarah Palin worthy of my Marilyn Monroe pop art? I should buy a watch then I could watch the time fly by. The time will fly by as I stand still standing still by myself. Although I am never by myself other than when I sleep. What type of movie could I do today? Would anybody want to watch my movie. Of course they would for I am the great Andy Warhol. I saw colorful earrings once and thought I could create the earrings better my color schemes would be better than any earring anybody could create for mine would match with everything, everything that anybody could think up wearing even if they decided to wear a trash bag my earrings would be so modern and would make the trash bag look like art. For my art is the best the best there was and the best there ever will be. I once thought what if my art isn't the best then what. And then I thought nonsense my art is the best. I wonder if I should bring candy to the factory? Then I think well just be eating candy all day and nobody would ever get anything done except me cause I get everything done. People should bring me candy to show their appreciation for my work, my art my movies. They quite are the best so Ive been told and so I know. The best, the best there ever will be. I should take all the candy wrapper and paste them onto a wall and make all the letters say something it would be quite wonderful maybe I could use tape so that other people could move the letters and sayings around to say something new everyday or to write and poem or a letter everyday because every day is a new day and there should be new sayings everyday to bring in the new day. The new day would bring me new presents of candy and everyday I will add to the candy wall and before you know it my teeth will rot away. Then I will have to get fake teeth maybe fake teeth aren't so bad I could have different color teeth and different styles to match my outfits and my mood. I could have the best looking teeth in the world then everybody would want to create teeth just like mine for I am a trend setter. Setting the way people should look..look different everyday with new colors and styles and new teeth.

My Prince!!!

Prince.. I absolutely love Prince!!!! I make me really angry when people call him gay. And if he was why does it matter? He is a brilliant song writer who produces his own music. His music is legendary and people judge him because he wears make-up and heels. So what!! At least he has his own style and he doesn't care about what people think about him. Did you know he basically plays every instrument and can sing in more octaves than Mariah Carey. I'd say that is pretty impressive!!!

Singing

Singing...My passion ..my life.. a way to cry and let all your fears, happiness and let all your emotions free..

What is happiness

As I was in one of my classes answering questions about my economic status. I was scared to answer the questions because I was afraid that people would judge me or act as "haters" because of what I have. I would consider my self high middle class. I have been very fortunate. I have a boyfriend that I have been with for 4 years and just graduated from Dental school so now we have "money" where as before we were living with his brother and living off his financial aid. Why is it that I am scared of people judging me because of the stuff I have now? Who is to say that success is money or money makes you happy. As the late Notorious BIG said "the more money you make, the more problems you see"

boys

I'm not sure but this picture looks like it could be all boys I wonder what sort of presentation they are all there to see. Did they have to pay to go see this presentation or are they all there because they have to be. It’s a pretty big auditorium to be a school but it seems like there all school aged boys. Maybe this is an old picture and there all there to get information about being drafted. Oh how sad there mothers would be. Maybe some of them don’t have mothers and they ran away so they are forced to be drafted. There are two boys towards the back that seem to be interested in whats going on in the front of the building. Are they beginning the presentation or just ending the presentation. Was it an informative presentation or a entertaining presentation? Geez that is lot of boys. There are a lot of them. How come the girls weren’t able to be there?
Right now my pinkie is really cramping up it seems to do that when its really cold and my hands are always could. As I'm typing I am not using my pinky because it hurts so bad its just not moving and cramping in one place it really hurts and you would’t think that a pinky could hurt so bad but it does.

rock water

This picture is awesome if I were a fish or a turtle I would love to have this habitat I wish I could see it in color, better yet I would love to color this picture. I see vibrant blue green water and colors of every spectrum in the souroundings. I wonder is fairies live underneath the plants that hang beyond the rocks this would be a perfect place for fairies to frolock. It reminds me of a scene out of peter pan where the mermaids live. I love how the piece of the rock that is in underwater has so much life growing from it and the piece that is in air is more plain. Oh how much fun would it be to live in water seeing all the colorful and flowing life forces there are to see. In black and white it seems that the fuzzyness on top of the rock could be snow.

monkey

What is this monkey thinking? He seems to have a lot of confusion behind his eyes…all it is trying to do is feed its baby .. that baby just wants what the mommy or daddy has and the parent is more concerned about the camera man taking its picture. Those are big nipples. The baby looks like a little old man that has more expression in its face than the parent. I wonder if they would have this food if they were free? Are they free or is this some kind of zoo. The back round looks pretty fake and the lighting doesn’t look so real either. As I look more at the picture I cant help but think maybe the whole thing is fake.. it looks really stage I wonder if the monkeys are even real. Are the plants real they look fake too. Everything is starting to look fake the more I look at it. What is real anymore In this world. Some people are fake whether it be there looks or there personality. What a sad sad world some people live in and I say people cause I don’t live in there world I live in my own world. I am just a prop in some peoples world, just passing them by.

Bandu

Bandu is a game where you start with a little rectangular piece and you have to build upon this little piece with various good and bad pieces from a pile in the middle. The person sitting next to you either takes a piece that will benefit them or passes on a piece that will hurt you. You have five beans... you either pay a bean to pass on the piece or accept the piece to add it to your structure. This game is a lot like life where you can pay to get out of rough situations or take what is handed to you and make the most of it.
In the end the person that plans and knows when it is important to pay or to accept the bad piece wins. Its all about the way you structure your life: you could take the bad situations and make the most of it or you can just try to ignore the bad stuff and let it pass by. You may start off with a bad structure but if you plan and build that structure to be solid you may just end up winning.

I went ThErE

Is it make-belief?

Professor J brought up this in class and I thought I would blog about it....
Talking about thinking in simplicity in terms of "Are you smarter when you go back to the basics?" Little kids are able to have such wonderful imaginations because they don't know better. Is being obliviously to the world better- not knowing what is real? For instance some little kids might think that butterflies are really fairies because they don't know that fairies don't really exist. I personally choose to live the way a little kid would. I imagine that there are fairies and that there are no bad people in the world. It a very sad thing when you grow up and realize that Santa Clause isn't real. Cant we all just believe in make-belief as if we were still young? I know some of you may think I was using the apple that Joe was talking about but I for one do choose to still believe in fairy tales! Maybe that's why you'll usually see me with a smile on my face becuase I choose to live in a dream world!

As I sat on my bed looking out the window staring at the Huskies stadium I could see birds flying back and forth. I could hear off in the distance planes flying over Lake Washington and one boat going by. My dog Zeus was begging for my attention and after a while gave up and he settled into my lap and curled into a little ball. Staring out the window I watched small waves on the lake thinking about how cold the water must be. Time went by as did clouds. It was a little bit eerie doing nothing for 20 minutes. I notice when I sit in silence my mind wonders off and I think about so many things. Wow, only 10 minutes have gone by. My dog decided to get my attention by licking my hands and then I noticed the leaves blowing in the wind. I started to think about how summers over. Sad, but I'm excited that the leaves are going to change into beautiful colors and then fall. I saw a little squirrel in the trees, probably stocking up on nuts for the winter. How cute! Yea! 20 minutes have gone by. Once my mind started to wonder off the minutes seem to fly.
