Pictures & Quotes

 this is the beginning of a new day. you have been given this day to use it as you will. you can waste it or use it for good. what you do today is important because you're exchanging a day of your life for it. when tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever. in its place is something that you have left behind. let it be something good

 if you have to convince yourself that you don't care about someone
you care about them more than you think.
 maybe its not about the happy ending. maybe it's about what you
do with your time before you get to the end.

notice. if they don't, you know where you stand.

you have to say goodbye.


there is no right person. there’s just a person. and if that’s the person you want to 

be with and have a family with, then be with that person. if you don’t want to be

 never let success get to your head.

& never let failure get to your heart. 

We think about it, sing about it, dream about it, and lose sleep worrying about it. When we don't know we have it, we search for it. When we discover it, we don't know what to do with it. When we have it, we fear losing it. It is the constant source of pleasure and pain. But we don't know which it will be from one moment to the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, and impossible to live without.
thinking that life will treat you fairly just because you're a good person is like expecting that an angry

you really love him don't you?

but someone suddenly came into your mind.
my feelings just changed. i had been waiting for you to realize you couldn't go another day without me. i had played out every excuse you could of had for putting all that time between us. missing you had become second nature to me. and somewhere in the last year, when i never got that phone call, and you never showed up at my window, and we never ran into each other, i just stopped feeling like i needed you so much.
the most heartbreaking part of a breakup is that moment when you realize that all the dreams you had, all those visions you had being with this person disappears. everything after that moment is moving on.
- taylor swift
we both stare at each other, wishing for the right words to say, we know they aren’t enough. no matter what happens i will always be there, and you can always run back to me. whenever that may be.
a guy out there was meant to be the love of your life, your best friend, your soul mate, the one you can tell your dreams to. he’ll brush the hair out of your eyes. send you flowers when you least expect it. he’ll stare at you during the movies, even though he paid $8 to see it. he’ll call to say goodnight or just cause he is missing you. he’ll look in your eyes and tell you, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world, and for the first time in your life, you’ll believe it.
- nicholas sparks
i found what i was looking for. it wasn't a boy, and it wasn't love. i found me. and that's all i need right now.
you left a huge mark on me. one you'll never imagine. i cant even go to the movie theater without remembering all our memories we shared there together. i cant go to the park without thinking about the long days we spent just acting goofy together. i mean its gotten so bad that even when i walk onto my own porch, i still remember your face of how scared you looked when you first came over. we had some good times, and it hurts that you're letting them go. i know i wont, but i'll let you think i dont remember. i'll let you think that i dont know you think about them too. i know you do, i know when you see me, or the next time you come up on my block.. you'll remember, you'll smile and you wont realize it. but i'll never let you know i can tell you still feel it.
there's always going to be that tiny little voice in the back of my head that tells me it may not really be over between us. it's never around for long though, my realistic voice shuts it right up.
she glances in the mirror and throws her hair up,
ripped jeans, an old hoodie -- they're all she
needs. she runs out the door, five minutes before
class starts and arrives just as the bell rings,
cheeks flushed. she doesn't try that hard at
school and she plays sports because she likes to
run. her room's a mess and her cell phone's
always dead, but she just smiles ; she knows the
world is hers. she has her enemies, she's made
mistakes and she knows it. but she doesn't care.
she's happy with who she is and who she has
because that's all she needs.
be thankful for every heartbreak, for they were planned. they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. their purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life. and you do

the most attention I have ever paid in a class

Thursday in my sociology class, my teacher talked to us about the Holocaust. I don't think that I have ever been that terrified and interested about history before. It was impossible to not listen and the intensity of the talk was mind blowing. My professor, John White, made me feel as though I was at the concentration camp. I almost started to cry just listening to this information I had never heard before.

My professor is also Jewish, so when he explained the different ways Jews were slaughtered, it was almost hard to look at him knowing that his family went through that. He told us about a study done at a college, can't remember which one, where they asked all the the seniors what they thought about the Holocaust. 40% of the students said that they thought it was fake or exaggerated. That fact alone made my professor choke up. I don't understand how someone could really think that when there is so much documentation on it. Not to mention the survivors of it.

Hitler killed millions of people in just three years. We talked about how it wasn't even Hitler who did the worst, it was the bystanders who did NOTHING. People turned in their neighbors, didn't try and help out others. That made me think of what I would have done if I was living in that time and knew a Jew would I have helped. I would like to think that I would, but it's hard to tell. That fact alone made me want to be a better person.

Quotes & Pictures

It was one of those times you feel a sense of loss,
even though you didn't have something in the first place.
I guess that's what disappointment is;
a sense of loss for something you never had.
  i can’t tell you how many times

you promised things would be different.

but now, i promise i’m never coming back

 Faith means nothing without obedience,

& words don't matter if action doesn't follow.
don't stop dancing.
  there is a point in life when you get tired of
chasing everyone and trying to fix everything.

it is not giving up, it is finally realizing that you do not need
certain people and all of the crap they bring into your life.

 seasons are changing, waves are crashing,

and stars are falling all for us.

days grow longer and nights grow shorter.
i can show you i'll be the one

 This whole situation pissed me off. As much as I want to love you, the way that you love me, I just can't. It's because I love someone else the way you love me, but he doesn't love me and that hurts almost as much as the fact that I am hurting you.
 You were there for me for so long making me laugh while I was in tears. I will never let anyone take your place, cause you're the best friend I've got. You laugh at my stupid jokes, put up with my worst moods, go along with my crazy ideas and you still manage to see the best in me.
 dont look for the hottest guy or the most popular jock. look for the guy that makes you feel like you're actually worth a second glance. the one that makes you happy to be the person you dont have to try to be, or want to be. the guy who isnt like all the rest, but completely different, yet its why you like him, because he isnt like any other guy you've known. he's just him
 you are replaceable, and it bothers you because i'm not. you won't find another me. you can try, but those other girls won't compare. you need me, but i don't need you. and i don't think i ever really did

do the best you can, where you are, with what you have.
 the best thing you can do sometimes for someone is to just exist. to be there when they suddenly realize they need you right then.
run in the rain to get wet, call a friend just
cause you care, smile just cause you
can, & laugh just to make people stare.

I had a one night stand

Okay I didn't but Christine O'Donnell did. Christine O'Donnell ran for U.S. Senate for the state of Delaware in 2010 and lost to Democrat Chris Coons. O'Donnell prides herself on being "pure" and a "virgin." Yet, in this story it shows that she is not as chaste as she acts.

I don't follow politics at all, so I didn't know who Christine O'Donnell was but I followed some of the links in the article and read what she was about. I was surprised to have read this account from the anonymous male after seeing how much O'Donnell goes on and on about being pure and not having sex.

The post on the Gawker website seems more like an angry letter than journalism. The post the Gawker then wrote back in response to it was more journalistic than the original article. The letter from the anonymous male had too much opinion in it to be considered real journalism. There were really no facts, just statements about what happened that night three years ago. The pictures added to the story though, definitely helped make it believable.

This story is definitely newsworthy because people need to know if a person who they are planning to vote for is deliberately going against something they have stood by for years. A candidate doing that doesn't make them very trustworthy in my eyes. I would want to know if the person I was voting for was a raging alcoholic before I made my final decision. The people of Delaware deserved to know that their "virginal" candidate wasn't as pure as she made herself out to be.
