Are you for real? Racism?

A summer camp in Philadelphia with children in the grades of K-7th, went to a local pool. The camp was contracted to go once a week. When they arrived, the children went to their activity leader telling her that people were saying "what are these black kids doing here?" ARE YOU FOR REAL?!?!?!?!?! What on EARTH is wrong with these people?! These children are trying to enjoy their summer and people have to ruin it with racism!! The racism was followed by what some think of as discrimination. The camp could not return after this incident, but the club said that there was not enough room. This is SIMPLY RIDICULOUS!! The child they interviewed on CNN was crying. And then people wonder why there are blacks who dislike whites and vie-versa. The racism NEEDS TO STOP!! If not for youself, do it for the children!!

What is this world coming to?

I'm seeing too much bad on our planet. People need to understand that we are the ones who are ruining our world. Government's lying to the people. Spouses cheating on one another. Siblings fighting with each other. It might sound cliche, but can't we all just get along?! If you don't love the person you're with, talk to them and help them understand the situation. And then separate so that cheating is out of the picture, because if you're cheating on them, they don't deserve that unless they are doing the same to you. And it still wouldn't make it right. Siblings need to communicate just like people in relationships. Talk about your problems and fix them. Family is there for one to have, not to hate.
And as far as the whole government's and countries issue, the war is ridiculous. It has been from the get-go. Iran is going KRAYZIE protesting. The people in L.A. who were "celebrating" their basketball teams championship victory went out on to the streets causing catastrophe. Flipping cars, burning things, hurting people. What can I do about that? I'm trying to change the world by being kind to people and writing blogs about what I think we should do to make the world a better place!! I need people to spread my word, and not only that, but also to act accordingly. You know, the whole "talk the talk, walk the walk?" Talking won't don't it all. Tell people about this blog. Subscribe to it. Subscribe to my notes on facebook. We can make good things a CONTAGIOUS EPIDEMIC!! I need people's help though. I'm willing to do it solo, but that would be pretty tough if no one cooperates. So, what is this world coming to? Let's make it something good. Thank you.

ACCUSATIONS!!

"You're accusing me of what?!" Some people need to get their stories straight when they accuse someone of doing something. Relationships, friendships, etc. I understand that many people lie, but before accusing someone of doing something, make sure you're charges are legit. People jump to conclusions too often. If you're going to accuse your boyfrined/girlfriend of something, talk it out first, unless you actually SAW THEM "commit the crime." Get the facts first!!

Take the time to listen to the lyrics!!

It's a GREAT song!! It's called "As Lovers Go", by Dashboard Confessional.
Enjoy!!

It's nice to live in a fairy tale sometimes...

It feels good when you watch a movie or read a book and you really get into it. You begin to live it in a way (like Jose with Quantum of solace, inside joke.) It's nice to dream of a world where you can have the woman/man of your dreams. But then we are brought back to the reality of life where there are rarely any Elizabeth Swann's and William Turner's or Bella Swan's and Edward Cullen's. When you read the book or watch the movie, your mind drifts into a better place. You feel nothing but what is happening in the story. When returned to reality, you see that things are different. Chivalry is no longer common in men. Loyalty is rarely seen amongst humans anymore. Many males are assholes and many females are bitches. Excuse my choice of words but I felt them to be the most fitting. To find a good man/woman as one's significant other is difficult, but not impossible. Keep searching for that someone, and never give up. True love comes easy when found. It's the search that may be a little tough. We can't make men be gentlmen and women be ladies, but we can start by being gentlemen and ladies.

No dream is out of reach.

Bad things, good people....

People wonder why bad things happen to good people. Let's remember, even though the person is good, there are still bad people out there. What I would like to know is, why would someone want to do bad to another person? Why would you want to hurt someones mother or father? Why would you want to do bad to a child who's innocence is still that? Why would you want to cheat on your significant other? What could possibly possess you to kill someone other than in self-defense? But we wouldn't need self-defense if there were no bad. We wouldn't need lie detectors if people knew how to tell the truth. We wouldn't need guns for "protection" if we didn't have to protect ourselves from anyone. This world is going KRAYZIE and people are losing it as each day passes. Whatever happened to doing the right the thing because it felt good inside? Whether you belive in religion or not, you still know right from wrong. Do the right thing and we can change the world one step at a time. We can go from baby steps to olympic jumps, but let's do it!! Thank you.

We all have our moments.

We have our moments where our strength is tested. Our courage. Our fear. Our wisdom. Our loyalty. Our honesty. Our determination. Our weakness. Our power. Our knowledge. Our beliefs. Our faith. Our will. Our confidence. Our self-control. Our LOVE. One must dig deep in these moments and bare all we have, not caring who is watching. I almost lost someone I loved this past weekend, and I was scared. But my strength and my faith and my LOVE pushed me forward. I'm not making this a religious issue, but my faith in God is certainly stronger at this moment. We all have our moments, we just have to push ourselves to pass the test.

If the sun falls to oblivion while it is setting, will you wonder why? Or would you change the world with me?
