Holocaust Rememberance Day

Hello Everyone,

As I looked at the calendar I realized that Holocaust Rememberance Day begins at sundown today. It only happened 60 years ago and there are still survivors to talk about it. But within my lifetime, there will be no more survivors because they will have died of old age. Those horrific events have taught us a big lesson about hate, and acts of hate executed to the fullest. Things like this happen when we are beaten down with disease and poverty, and when we trust all of our power to a charismatic, hateful person.

Have we learned our lesson? Somewhat. I mean, I don't think that there will be a Holocaust to exterminate Jews in Europe again. But, these acts are STILL happening in places such as the Middle East and Africa. Does Bosnia ring a bell ? How bout Rwanda or killing the Kurds in the Middle East ? Maybe so little attention is being directed towards those groups because they are third world countries and their leaders aren't so powerful. I don't see any of those countries successfully bringing down Europe or the US anytime soon. But Germany during WWII was a major threat to the rest of the world.

But I do think there is hope. Yes, there is a lot of hate and racism in this world. However, there ARE a lot of accepting people in this world as well. Good and evil are here to stay. That's just a fact. But good can conquer evil.

Just Another Post

Hello My Lovelies..........

Well, been a few days since my last post. Here's the latest......

1.) I got my BUS 139 Strategic Marketing exam back. I got a 98%. I was floored and happy. I only missed one question. Unfortunately I have a group project from hell in that class and it is such a drag and taking forever.

2.) I took my SPAN 102B exam on Tues.(My Spanish class from HELL). There is absolutely no chance in hell that I could've passed it. It was just too much.I studied so much and even had like 3 study sessions with other classmates. Oh well. I am handing in some extra credit to soften the blow. I swear to God that exam was just way too hard. Why do some teachers get their rocks off on making things too damn difficult?? Even the native Spanish speakers were struggling, and a bunch of us took up the whole class period.

3.) Remember how I broke things off with Alex a month ago? I was going out with him for a month and I told him I am going to Europe and that I don't really have time to go out because I am graduating. Well, while that part IS true, I really did it because I just wasn't feeling him. I wasn't attracted to him and didn't wanna lead him on.Its not like you can tell a guy that you find him unattractive because that would just be rude.  But I did like him as a friend and was happy being just that. So the next time I ran into him at the library we talked and studied. WELL, today he goes to another girl sitting a couple of tables away from me and COMPLETELY ignores me. Usually he at least says hello.Granted, I probably deserve that. After all, I am the one who broke things off with him. I mean, I am happy that he found someone else as long is it isn't me, but I just wasn't expecting him to ignore me.I didn't expect us to hang out, but I thought we were gonna remain on friendly terms. Oh well, I guess guys and girls can't be "just friends". I mean, I have had guys that just wanted to remain friends with me after going out and I was fine with that. Whatever. Maybe it was a good thing that I didn't continue to go out with him.

Happy Easter :)

Hello My Lovelies...............

Happy Easter !!! If you don't celebrate Easter, then Happy Whateveryoucelebrate !! Anyways, I was wondering what y'all thought about William Hung, the American Idol reject that all of a sudden became an overnight sensation ???

Well, here's what I think............... I am split on the issue. The dude has no talent ! He can't sing and he sure as hell can't dance. Simon was right. He doesn't even have the looks. He looks like a nerd with buck teeth. Hell, he doesn't even write his own songs. He sang Ricky Martin's song, "She Bangs". Why the hell is he a sensation? There is nothing real about him. I think that it's because he's an obvious underdog and people can identify with him. I think that the public is ready to embrace someone that thought may not have all the talent, he has guts and is willing to put himself out there. I think that the public may be tired of seeing people like him get shot down on a regular basis.

I think that many artists with real talent and style are probably mad at him. Personally, though I don't like his style, I am still happy for him. I mean, he believes in himself so much that he did whatever it took to put himself out there. And he sold himself successfully. More power to him for being famous. In a way, his story is inspiring.  However, I don't think he is gonna be famous for long. Gotta have talent, and lets face it : The dude can't sing. Can't dance. Can't even look good for a poster. Hope he enjoys the famous life while he can.

Now there may be some of you reading this and saying " Let's see you do better." My point exactly. That's why I am not auditioning for anything and opening up my talent for criticism. Anywho, this concludes my feelings on this issue. Just had to get this off my chest.
