<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The greatest showman of our times was undoubtedly, Micheal Jackson. &#8216;The King of Pop&#8217; as he was and will be refered to. And indeed, a king he was in his domain. His video albums revolutionised the way music was being heard. Great  video channels took birth by the support of his art.</p>
<p>But how was he to fall!! Such a timid death for such a great man!! All through his life he had been at the receiving end of controversies. But his unusual circumstantial death can written off as the most controversial. One of the theories supporting the claims of his murder is, where is the person who called up 911 informing michael&#8217;s death.?</p>
<p>Also it is well-known that he was at the last stage of his practise for his comeback show. A normal rehearsal would have been filmed on normal cameras but his final dress rehearsal was filmed with high definition cameras. Was something boiling behind his back?</p>
<p>Whatever be the reasons for his deaths, will never be known as the legend of Pop lies in his final resting place.</p>
<p>May his soul rest in peace.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Props To The First One Whoe Figures Out Why I Put This Here...           Okay so everyone should kno]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 372px"><img title="Props To The First One Whoe Figures Out Why I Put This Here..." src="http://www.drugs.com/pro/images/3102d420-8842-4809-9aa1-7be91ac7d0ab/fml-ointment-01.jpg" alt="" width="362" height="362" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Props To The First One Whoe Figures Out Why I Put This Here...</p></div>
<p>          Okay so everyone should know the reason i&#8217;ve been so ticked off latley from my first real blog on this site. Well because of it i haven&#8217;t imed her since Friday. It&#8217;s like one of those act like she&#8217;s not online kinda things, and i thoguht she didn&#8217;t notice but she did. So she ims me today to tell me to check my e-mail, then signs of the next second before i can evern tell her i would. So i check my e-mail and she&#8217;s written me a letter, i guess you can call it an apology letter. The reason for the letter i&#8217;m guessing is&#8230; a while back when she was super pissed at me, i wrote her a letter, an 8 page letter if you only count the words&#8230; 19 if you count pictures. So this essay is 4 page, which is nice because it shows she put enouhg effort into it to cover up 4 full pages. So then i begin reading&#8230; and she mentions how when we did get into our argument i made a quick joke about michelle. so vivi questioned me saying if i was gonig to relate things to her everytime somethig wierd came up, and i can see she was kinda annoyed but then i thouht, really? your going to get annoyed i jsut made fun of michelle? so i responded directly, saying &#8220;Yeah, i did just say that right now&#8221; and we continued a pretty awkward convo until i jsut stopped responding&#8230; So in the file she sent me today ( her apology letter) she says how she got kind of offended because Michelle is still a good freind to her. She knows we don&#8217;t like her fo the obvious reasons but she says they are still close becasue michelle hasn&#8217;t ever done anything to her. So then i thouht about it and yeah it made some sense, but then it hit me later on tonight. So if she gets offended i make jokes about michelle&#8230; then was she not offended when michelle did all of that bull shit with me? As in if a small joke can be that offensive to her, than what about when she bitched at me for like 2 hours? or when she bitched at kendrick for getting to the marathon late&#8230; was that all fine? so was that not offensive? i guess it only matters when i say something to her right? When she bitches at me everything is fucking cool? okay&#8230; i guess i understand&#8230;</p>
<p>          So then she talks about how we&#8217;re drifting&#8230; now i&#8217;ve been ranting to annie, christina, and i think kendrick about this for a WHILE now&#8230; <strong>IM NOT THE ONE WHOS TRYING TO DRIFFTTTT&#8230; </strong>FUCK! i try MULTIPLE times in a day to talk to her it&#8217;s like WOW and she either gives a half ass reply or walks away&#8230; i mean REALLY!? I don&#8217;t remember the last time she actually came up to me to jsut talk, or say something random. She mentions in the letter how she would much rather spend break and lunch with freinds, rather than perry since she spends after school with him&#8230; so i ask, why is it that when i try to takl to her&#8230; she gives me a half ass answer and immediatly walks off to sit with Perry and Kevin. she says that our larger group has split up into factions, and that she&#8217;s in it with Kevin and Perry. Did i want that to happen? No. Did it happen? Yeah kinda did. But then again lets all really ask ourselves, whos fault is that? Cause honestly i feel if everyone did split up, it SHOULD be everyone&#8217;s fault, do you guys not agree?</p>
<p>          Now let&#8217;s move onto why the fight finally lit up. So she&#8217;s about to tell me something&#8230; and then out of no where &#8220;oh nvm i forgot&#8221;&#8230; i mean at first it sounds pretty damn unbelivable that your this excited to tell someone something and then all of the sudden you forget&#8230; point blank. So of course i would say&#8230; okay, if you don&#8217;t want to tell me then i guess its fine, but taking into consideration i tell her EVERYTHING that goes on in my life and when i hought she told me everything that happened in hers, she tells me she doesnt remmeber soemthing&#8230; that she knew 5 seconds ago&#8230; so of course.. naturally i got pissed but held as much of it in as i can. well then when she sent me the letter today&#8230; her apology for that was this:</p>
<blockquote><p>So right now you might think that I’m like stupid or something because you do have a brain and you know that I didn’t forget. Well I did! And whether you believe me or not is up to you. I don’t really care.</p></blockquote>
<p>          The one line in this line&#8230; that really actually got to me, and made me feel A LOT worse than i already was&#8230; was the &#8220;I don&#8217;t really care&#8221; part&#8230; Really vivi? well then thanks for letting me know&#8230; fuck, i&#8217;ve let you know so many times that im here for you&#8230; and now you say that &#8220;I [you] don&#8217;t even care&#8221;? wow&#8230; way to kill me day, week, call it what you want, but you really kno how to make me feel like shit&#8230; thanks again vivi&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>or: I&#8217;ll trade you civil liberties circa 1980, for the right to beat your wife circa 1920</p>
<p>or: If Glenn Beck were a decade, which one would he be?</p>
<p>For almost a year now, and even further back possibly, I have been fascinated with politics and punditry. I have become a self-proclaimed politico and I follow politics and media pretty closely, as closely as my tenuous hold on sanity will allow. In following politics my liberal mind has always been perplexed by the conservative party line of ‘returning to traditional American values’ and trying to recapture the ‘lost spirit of what it is to be an American’. In recent months it as been the loud ram’s horn call of Glenn Beck, and his ever growing audacity matched only by his ever growing audience, that has caused me to pontificate further on this subject. For the past few weeks this idea of lost values and traditional American fundamentals has led me to research where we might have gone wrong. Is there a specific time and place, a particular era that the GOP and other right-leaning hard-liners would want us to return to? If I can put my finger on the ethos that these guiding principles existed in, can we get back there? I delve in to this quagmire of American history to try and find “Glenn’s America”, so that he and others can stop preaching in general broad strokes and say, “we need to get back to what we believed in 19XX (or 18XX as it may be).”</p>
<p>When examining the general party ideas of what I understand to be the GOP’s fundamental idealogical structure I take my understanding from some 25 years on this planet, though you can’t count the first 16. I think that until you turn 17 and start trying to find yourself and begin to shape your views and identity in preparation for voting and contributing to society you are more of a blank slate in terms of personal free thought; up until this point you do not question a source but only try to fit in to the general parameters of ‘normal’ life as to not rock the boat and interfere with the indoctrination that American public schools instill in our youth. My true views have been shaped in my most recent years and as such I have adopted a view of the world quite different from my parents’, a direct result of informing myself for the first time in my life. In my home growing up as a small boy liberal leaders and democratic ideals warranted venom and crass, lewd criticism. The views I set forth will be of my own creation, independent of those I was raised on, either despite or in spite of them, I cannot tell. A crazy person isn’t crazy if he knows he’s crazy. Indeed.</p>
<p>The GOP seems to feel that gays should not marry, and are sinful. This makes no sense to me as sinful is a religious idea, not a political one; though it seems one position is quite often the result of the other. Gun rights should be protected at all costs to personal safety and public responsibility. Abortion is a no-no, ‘nuff said. They want smaller government, tax cuts, reform to let states decide things, though not gay marriage rights or any of the other items I just mentioned. They are for fiscal responsibility. GOP feels that a free market should regulate itself, again smaller government. They claim to fight for the middle class but public programs and universal anything is bad, that’s more government. They hate the environment as far as I can tell. Campaign finance reform (yeah right), education in America (no child left behind has gone so well after all). Prayer in school is ok, capital punishment and the death penalty are pretty much thumbs up, and the Ten Commandments should be at the steps of a courthouse flying the confederate flag. I am pretty close on this, right? So, basically it is a small government that has an abridged copy of the constitution, a cliff’s notes of the Bill of Rights, and a bible as it’s guiding principles. Hmmm, ok.</p>
<p>So, in American history, where can we find this utopia we strive for every day? This shangri-la we lost so long ago would obviously be the one saving grace for this country of godless sodomites. If we could only return to this point in time then everything would be fine. As far as I can tell it is the GOP that can save us if you believe the rhetoric. The liberals and the liberal media have scattered us across the nation and we are divided along partisan lines and are all doomed unless we jump on the Republican band wagon like some lifeboat after the Titanic sank. This is what self proclaimed “libertarian” Glenn Beck would like you to believe. I will give him credit for criticizing the government as a whole, even in the Bush days, though not in such inflammatory terms, but in reality he is like a Liber-publican. So, let’s take a step, Glenn, in to the way back machine and start a search for the time in American history you would like us to return to, as well as all of the Republican nay-sayers.</p>
<p>I want to start by saying that I am skipping the nineties completely being that he wasn’t happy with Clinton either, and it is far too close to the 21st century and the liberal progress this country has made; there is no way anyone wants to get back to how we were in the nineties, not even me and I loved my teen years in the nineties. And I am going to come back to the eighties later, they were too soon as well, but I will look at them briefly. We are sending our way back machine to a time when I think this country went bat-shit crazy and we were in maybe the most turmoil as a nation than anyone today can recall. I want to start out in the era that good old Glenn was born in, and that many of our current figure heads today, that make our decisions, can remember very ‘fondly’&#8230;the sixties.</p>
<p>Well I start here, in this decade of utter unrest by trying to illustrate that this can’t possibly be the America Glenn wants back. This cannot be the period in American history we want to recapture. This was a time that the late Strom Thurman must have hated with more zeal than any other period in history. It is hard to decide where to start. The sixties started out innocent enough, Kennedy beat Nixon and became the President, what followed was the Bay of Pigs incident, rumors about Marilyn, the meager beginning of Vietnam, the cuban missile crisis, then the man is assassinated. Further Vietnam BS, Malcolm X is killed, the Compton Cafeteria Riots in San Fran, then Nixon and all his Vietnam BS and his ‘secret plan to end the war’, the massive inflation crisis, MLK Jr. is killed, Bobby Kennedy is killed, the Stonewall riots of ’69, oh and a little thing who was named Manson did some killing. Great decade.</p>
<p>The sixties were a time of massive riots in the black and gay communities. Civil rights on all fronts tore the fabric of this country apart from women liberation, blacks, gays, even the Chicano revolution in this country. Outside of that was the acid wave of the sixties, a complete change in television, film, art, and especially music. The counterculture as it came to be known galvanized this country after the death of JFK, I think. The nice, homely manners of the 50’s were gone in a big way and now came very free thinkers, revolutionaries, protests exploded, demonstrations, inflation choked the middle class as they tried to compete with the changes in the landscape. The sixties were an ugly, hate-filled time, the emerging civil rights movement after the death of JFK was really the catalyst for it all. There is no way we want to return to the sixties as a country. America was in a violent turmoil and unsure of it’s identity and where the road we were on was going to lead us and people were strung out or scared for their lives, or both. I don’t think Glenn wants that back, so let’s move on.</p>
<p>How about we take a step forward and find Glenn in the seventies as a small boy, maybe these are the innocent and moral times he wants back&#8230;but I doubt it. Well in the seventies music really got good including the first ‘rap’ song, movies got weird, TV got lewd, and the country just got fucked up worse. This country started watching shows like All In The Family and the Brady bunch, dealing with some of the issues of the day. Vietnam choked the first few years while a little thing called Watergate slipped by the news press during Nixon’s re-election campaign and then killed him by ’74. It was the most embarrassing and shocking scandal in American political history, which in my opinion was the death of politics. I think that Nixon and his escalation of the doomed Vietnam war and his scandal killed the American political system. Outside of the US revolution was abundant across the world. Woodstock was a shining beacon of what drugs and music and mud can do for young people, a complete change from how we started the decade on the campus of Kent State where the National Guard gunned down peaceful protestors of the war on a college campus; unthinkable today, one would hope. The draft was the height of outrage, an unbelievable moment when Ali fought the draft and Elvis went in. Protest and anti-war sentiment was as widespread in this country as pant legs were flared. The Cold War ramped up a bit and this country got really scared, really fast. Our involvement in a few revolutions and military coupes as well as an assassination or two was a continuation of poor foreign affairs decisions. The middle east started down the road to where we are today with Israel, Egypt, Syria, the Soviet Union, and Afghanistan, all starting to kick each others asses.</p>
<p>The seventies brought women’s rights to the forefront as the sixties had civil rights for minorities eclipsing women’s rights to some extent. Vietnam ended finally, well our involvement, leaving the North to just wait for us to leave and drop Saigon to it’s knees and claim the country unified again. A sad end to a war we should have not been in and an end that was mostly our fault. Oh and lest I forget the massive recession we were in mixed with oil crises a couple of times resulting in rationing and further middle class stresses that included a very high unemployment rate. Then of course there was Jonestown, about 900 dead there. Idi Amin started his tyrannical, violent rule of Uganda as well. Is this the era we should return to? Hatred, war, violence, and tragedy pock marked this era. The seventies hold within their years scandal, racism, and fear-mongering, of the most epic scale one can imagine. There is no way we want to return to the moral or political views of this era. The seventies were the time for change for sure, but it came at great expense on the heels of a decade of radical change and upheaval. The 70’s continued the massive crime rate spikes that the sixties brought and the country still sat on the edge of it’s seat every day as nothing seemed to get better. Surely we don’t want the seventies back.</p>
<p>Ok, the eighties might be better, the days of Reagan and Bush, this might be the most likely time we want to return to. The eighties would be the most formidable years of Beck’s life; the decade of excess. The eighties brought the yuppie, and with it, all the coke, parties, and BMW’s we could handle. We saw great multinational growth and wall street was glamorous, they were kings then, still total scum, but they had better PR people then. Of course Reagan declared a War on Drugs, the Cold War raged to a massive scale. Sure, communism fell apart as did the Berlin Wall, but we saw the further mishandling of the middle east that is the source of our problems and involvement there today, can’t argue with that. Reagan put a major black eye on his presidency with the discovery of the Iran-Contra debacle that Oliver North was the mastermind behind. This country saw massive economic growth against the backdrop of very complicated and protracted battles all over the world including Asia, the middle east, central and south america, and ever Ireland with ‘the troubles’ brewing. (Only badass Irish would call a modern, religious civil war ‘the troubles’, an understatement to say the least)</p>
<p>The eighties, I think were a time of thinking that we could not be beaten, being the short attention span of Americans forgetting the seventies. We were coked out of our minds, living beyond our means, and we were kicking Commie ass. But the eighties, world wide, were complicated, painful growth, some democratic, but on the whole we saw massive famine and destruction abroad as the industrialized countries were making head way. The middle class of nations was being evaporated as the gap between rich and poor nations grew drastically. Domestic issues were tough though, as it seemed we were trying to use our power for good as a people with things like LiveAid and becoming more aware of issues in Africa and other countries, the eighties saw the rise of the religious right. They really got fired up on the gay issue and the discovery of AIDS, ‘the gay plague’. This country grew in many way, a decent decade I guess, I don’t really remember much of it but it seemed like a lot of people were having a lot of fun, safer fun.</p>
<p>Glenn probably liked the eighties, he used to be a liberal and an alcoholic, he draws a fine parallel between the two in a Katie Couric interview you should look up on YouTube, and this might have been his favorite time. Old enough to enjoy and understand it, he probably had a great time. Conservatives in power, strides made internationally, excess and money everywhere. The eighties were a wild party time, a decade that seemed to be a release of the past twenty years of hard work, growing pains, and controversial conflict. The 60’s and 70’s were going to lead inevitably to a time when we finally just cut loose and took a deep breath after so much bloodshed, upheaval, and serious talk. It was the decade we all remembered fondly on VH1. Music was weird, movies were great, TV was filled with classics we all watched, and standup comedians were making it big; the country was having a good laugh, a bump, and some beer. Not too bad.</p>
<p>I discount the nineties entirely so let’s jump back to a more general era I don’t think we can reasonably go back to, the 50’s to the 30’s. This was another era of massive wars, depression, civil rights injustice, bigotry, no women’s liberation, industrialization, organized crime, et al. These were times when blacks were openly hung from gallows, women were expected to be barefoot and pregnant in front of the stove, except when they were making tanks for the troops overseas for next to nothing wages. A time where minorities were rightfully scared at night of police or white boys out for a joyride. The prohibition, crime in the streets, Bonnie and Clyde, the Tommy gun, the B.A.R., saloons, speakeasy’s, and rampant bank robberies and crooked cops on the beat. This was a different time for this country and I don’t think we can agree with many of the ideals that were held to in this time and apply it today, the role of women alone is too much inequality to bare, let alone the rest.</p>
<p>OK, let’s take a big jump to my favorite era, the old west. You know the times, I’m talking post manifest destiny, pre-FBI. A time of no gun laws, showdowns in the streets, legal prostitutes, and riding in to town on a horse. Tombstone, San Francisco, Indian and cowboys. A time where gold was rushing and crazy white drunks ran amok and contracted TB and polio. Yes, when there were still a few Indians around, you had ranchers with thousands of acres, cattle drives, train robberies, and the men of storied legend lived and died by Winchester, Colt, and Smith&#38;Wesson. I like to think I lived in the times with a town sheriff, shitty beer, floozies, and general martial law over most of the country. A time where you could shoot a man in the street in broad daylight in front of 50 people, and they might actually clap and then go about their day. The good times.</p>
<p>I think this might not be far enough back though. When I hear Glenn speak, he talks about the founding father’s principles. The true foundation of the country as he sees it with the men who earned America through blood, sweat, and tears. Jefferson’s America. OK, well let’s first examine the fact that we are talking late 1700’s and early 1800’s. These are pre-electric, pre-phone times. We are talking Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere, plantations, etc. If this is the time Glenn thinks we need to get back to I want to highlight a couple of things. First off, slavery was alive and well&#8230;need I say more? Secondly, this country treated women like shit, there were no civil rights, and it was unindustrialized. This country was populated and run by rich, white land owners, and then there was everybody else. I don’t want anyone to romanticize this era. This country was created, founded, and declared on the bodies of millions of natives and the death and suffering of minority races of people removed from their homes and treated worse than dogs in the time period.</p>
<p>America has never been truly righteous. We revolted for selfish reasons, nothing simpler than that. We turned against the imperialism of the Queen and her rule and declared our independence; the worst “dear John” letter ever. Up to that point we had slaughtered, tricked, infected, raped, and pillaged our way to the Mississippi and thought very highly of white skin and could kill a black man for any reason at any time, or sell them, whatever struck our fancy. What I am about to say is going to piss off the right, but if I could meet George Washington I think I would take the opportunity to shake his hand and then slap the wooden teeth out of his head. These were racist white bigots with an knack for the written word and hard on for ‘freedom’ by their definition as it applied to them as an emerging nation of first class citizens at the top of the shit pile. All due respect, but their ideas and principles were fundamentally offensive and their beliefs of equality were for themselves and those they agreed with. How many minorities or women were running around enjoying their freedom of speech or right to bare arms&#8230;or even read? I rest my case.</p>
<p>So maybe Glenn does have a time in mind. Maybe he wants the scandalous, violent 70’s, or the civil unrest and inequality of the 60’s. The old west certainly had smaller/non-existent national government, and the 40’s sure were good times to be a gangster, Nixon would have done well, that’s for sure. The eighties surely had the best coke, and some unprecedented growth, outside of post-industrialized America (without all of these pesky labor laws we got). Maybe he wants the great depression era, maybe to live amongst the greatest generation, or rub elbows with white men who raped their slaves on their plantation as a matter of principle and patriotism. The history of America is short, embarrassing, and seemingly without a lesson learned throughout. Glenn, I dare you and your constituents to point out that shining beacon in American history that is so much better than now, ‘cause I must have missed it. All those moments have led up to now, and I’ll be damned if where we are isn’t a hell of a lot better than where we were; you can pry this progress from my cold dead hands, pal.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The mind is a powerful part of our being. Everything that we think, see, feel and experience through]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#000000;">The mind is a powerful part of our being. Everything that we think, see, feel and experience throughout our lives travels through our minds. How do we rationalize what is good for us and what is not? Some things are above our conceptual thought process. We only know so much &#8211; our knowledge is limited. The more we learn, the more wisdom and knowledge we can gain. The better decisions we can make. However, the knowledge and understanding our mind can gain will <span style="text-decoration:underline;">always</span> be limited because of  our environment and time constraints. We are not in multiple places at the same time, we can&#8217;t figure out what others are thinking, and there is only so much knowledge that we can accumulate during our life time before we pass away into the Hereafter.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">The Only One who knows everything and the Only One who knows us even better than we know ourselves is God (aka Allah (swt)).<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Going back to the question left unanswered: How do we rationalize what is good for us and what is not? We can&#8217;t do it on our own. Why? Because we were not left in charge of universal law and rules. These universal laws and rules are governed by our Creator, God. He has given us guidance through all the Prophet&#8217;s that have come before our time, the Final messenger Prophet Muhammad (saws) and the Holy Quran (th</span><span style="color:#000000;">e </span><span style="color:#000000;">Final Book of Guidance). </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">As much as we try, we are not the most just. True justice is in the hands of Allah(swt). On the day of Judgment He will be the Judge of all matters. Then lets not be unjust to ourselves and those around us. Let&#8217;s use our minds to do good for all and to think good thoughts. What is good for us is given as a message, as guidance in the Holy Quran. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Taking care of our planet Earth, being nice to our neighbors, helping out with humanitarian causes, being good parents for our childern, teaching someone something they didn&#8217;t know before, volunteering to clean up our communities are acts of kindness and definitely something that is good for our selves and our communities. Are these things mentioned in the Quran? See for yourself, it may not always be obvious, but the truth is there. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;">&#8220;And serve Allah. Ascribe no thing as partner unto Him. (Show) kindness unto parents, and unto near kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and unto the neighbour who is of kin (unto you) and the neighbour who is not of kin, and the fellow-traveller and the wayfarer and (the slaves) whom your right hands possess. Lo! Allah loveth not such as are proud and boastful,&#8221;</span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;">(Quran 4:36). </span><br />
</span></p></blockquote>

<description><![CDATA[I enjoy watching awards that show a tribute to music.  Even if it is an awards show that is voted on]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I enjoy watching awards that show a tribute to music.  Even if it is an awards show that is voted on.  I would rather watch the performances on those because we all know it is the dumb ten year-olds that vote for those.  So, I just ignore the results.  I just got finished watching the American Music Awards.  There were many great moments and some head scratching moments.</p>
<p>I will start off with the fan voted awards.  The big winners were the late Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift.  Next I will go to the performance losers of the night.  First would be Rihanna.  I know she went through a bad year, but the performance was very messy.  The Second and last would be Adam Lambert.  I think it is good that there are artist out there that are open about their sexual preferences, but that was awkward.  It was a very screamy, pitchy performance.  I know a great songwriter Claude Kelly wrote this song, but I think he went a little skew with this one.</p>
<p>Now For the best performances of the night.  First would be Kelly Clarkson.  I an a big fan of songs that include orchestra strings.  They had changed this song because of the comparison to Beyonce, but this version is great.  I would like if Clarkson had done maybe a new song, but performing a different version is good.  Second would be Lady GaGa. Physically she scares me a little, but musically she is fantastic.  She proves that you should not judge by appearance and listen to the music.  It was great when she smashed her way in to the piano section.  Piano was a great choice to include.  Lastly was the great Whitney Houston.  The award of the night for her.  What is better that seeing a legend perform.  It is great to see her back again.  These three ladies also did what not many on the show did.  They performed on pitch and key.      I just wish the ending of the show was different.</p>
<p>Overall, It was an alright show.  The end went for too much shock value and could end up overshadowing the great performances in this show.  Congrats to all the winners and good night.  I hope&#8230;&#8230;.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Friday &#8211; early morning, again, feeling like death, bad throat, needing sleep, bit of rest, night at vines and Bluenote &#8211; one of my new favourite places</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Saturday &#8211; didn&#8217;t get dressed till nearly 10 at night, only went the shop, watch things online</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Today &#8211; Not alto, stoke match, win <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  result, comedy club, funny, sudden change, tidied room, stomach killing me, this, probably bed</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">Pretty much thats been my life for the past week</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not been the most outgoing or special of weeks, infact its been quite a poor one, but its now monday, and i&#8217;m really hoping this week is better than the last<br />

<description><![CDATA[I dag var det fotografering på simmis. Alla barnen har börjat på babysim när de är 3 månader och Emi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I dag var det fotografering på simmis. Alla barnen har börjat på babysim när de är 3 månader och Emil går nu i den äldsta gruppen, alla tycker det är jätteskönt. Varje termin ges det tillfälle till fotografering under vattnet och vi har flera jättefina kort på Emil när han dyker. Sigge har tidigare lyckats vara sjuk just vid det tillfälle som fotografen besöker badhuset. I år var alla friska och Mika som simmar i första gruppen fick sitt avklarat tidigt. Hon fick sedan vara hemma med sin fadder, när vi andra åkte i väg, för i dag skulle Sigge och Emil få vara med samtidigt och fotas tillsammans. Fotografen som kände igen Emil sen föregående år, föreslog att Sigge skulle hänga på Emils rygg och så skulle dem dyka ner tillsammans. Resultatet såg väldigt bra ut i kamerans display, vi hoppas att det blir lika bra på papper när vi får hem det om ett par veckor.</p>
<p>Det blev också bilder enbart  på Sigge och på dem tillsammans dykandes jämsides. Efter att första passet var avklarat badade vi en halvtimme i badhusets lekbassäng för att avsluta med en halvtimme i Emils grupp. Efteråt hade vi två supertrötta små pojkar som tappert hölls sig vakna hela vägen hem där Mika haft det alldeles utmärkt.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>&#8230;så var denna helgen förbi.</em> Ändå har vi inte gjort så mycket mer än tagit det lugnt och myst.</p>
<p><a href="http://maypel.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/large_368.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1692" title="large_368" src="http://maypel.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/large_368.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="188" /></a></p>
<p>Vi inhandlade <strong>ett fint enkelt vitt kakel till köket i torsdags</strong>, 10&#215;40cm. Det blir <strong>vit fog</strong> och <strong>en kromad avslutningslist</strong>. Vi får visa bilder när det blir klart framöver. <strong>Taket är vitmålat</strong> och på måndag kommer <strong>Jörgen</strong>, vår elektriker som ska fixa lite grejor.</p>
<p><strong>Fredag</strong> var det meningen att ha <strong>Varmbad</strong> för mej och Marianne, men det blev inställt så vi tog ett snabbt och kort möte vid lunchtid istället. Mycket prat blev det iallafall. Tur var väl det förvisso, jag hade så mycket värk och migrän på gränsen att bryta ut. Men ändå hade vi ju gärna badat förstås, vi tänkte ju <strong>köpa årskort</strong> denna fredag. Nåja, det kommer ju fler gånger. Kvällen gick i vilans tecken, vi såg på TV och åtnjöt <strong>en Smoothie</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Lördagmorgon</strong> åkte vi och hämtade det Rotgips vi behöver till väggen bakom Kökskaklet. Lånade släp av <em>Byggvaruhuset</em> och det gick rätt snabbt. Handlade lite smågrejor på<strong> &#8220;D&#8221;</strong> och sen en snabb sväng förbi Pelles bror. <em>&#8220;Är Ni vakna såhär tidigt?&#8221;</em> sa <strong>Anneli Ö</strong> som sov när vi kom. <em>Men klockan var ju 12, är det tidigt? </em></p>
<p>Vi åkte hem. Min rygg orkade inte vara upprätt så jag gick och la mej för att vila. <strong>Pelle</strong> lagade mat och tvättade sina arbetskläder. <strong>Pelle</strong> gav mej massage en liten stund, så skönt.</p>
<p><a href="http://maypel.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/091121-plankstekalapelle-4892.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1693" title="091121-PlankstekAlaPelle-4892" src="http://maypel.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/091121-plankstekalapelle-4892.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Pelle </strong>gjorde en jättegod middag, <strong>Plankstek</strong>. Mmm! När vi ätit lade <strong>Pelle </strong>sej i <strong>soffan</strong> och jag i min sköna<strong> liggfåtölj</strong> framför brasan nån timma. Tittade på TV i vardagsrummet och sen en  DVD-film i sovrummet. Härligt! <em>Pelle ska recensera filmen för jag somnade, den var lite läskig tyckte jag men<strong> Pelle</strong> sa att den var bra.</em></p>
<p><strong>Söndagmorgon</strong> sov vi länge, eller ja sov och sov, jag var vaken till och från sedan 4 imorse. Jag hade en jobbig natt med värk. <strong>Pelle</strong> har tack och lov fått sova lite mer. Han fick hjälpa mej upp imorse när vi skulle äta frukost. Sedan har jag legat praktiskt taget hela dagen i sängen och spelat <strong>Mahjong</strong>. Och <strong>Pelle</strong> satt på sin dator och spelade <strong>Harpan</strong>. Nu bloggar jag bara och sen ska jag inta ryggläge igen&#8230; *Tråk* Men mer än så orkar inte nacken och ryggen nu. <strong>Pelle</strong> är på rep med bandet sitt&#8230;</p>
<p>Sen blir det nog  TV eller nån film igen. Ny vecka väntas och ser fram emot nu på fredag <strong>den 27:e</strong> för då blir det ett trevligt avbrott från vardagen!<em> Undrar vad vi ska ha på oss&#8230;</em></p>
<p><strong>GLAD</strong> är jag förresten, att alla tre blombud kom fram och uppskattades! Det värmde att höra fina ord. Rörd blev jag!</p>
<p><strong>Och kära vänner, kom gärna och fika!</strong> Även om jag är dålig så kan jag bjuda på en kopp kaffe och prata&#8230;bara man blundar för att jag inte orkar städa &#38; bädda! <em>Nu har jag förvisso haft en underbar man som dammsugit hela huset igår&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;och han ska få hänga julgardiner till helgen <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So, I have had a thing for Lady GaGa since before &#8220;Just Dance&#8221; came out.  She&#8217;s ridiculously innovative and I can&#8217;t understand people who hate her.  Anyways, I absolutely adore her video for &#8220;Bad Romance&#8221; off her album <em>The Fame Monster</em>.  It&#8217;s essentially her album <em>The Fame</em> with an additional eight or nine songs for a waaaay cheaper price.  I&#8217;m talking like 10 bucks or something.  Anyways, here&#8217;s the lyrics for &#8220;Bad Romance&#8221; and the music video.  Enjoy!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Calibri">The suggestion for today is to acknowledge and express thanks for those who have improved the human condition – for humanity in general and for myself in particular.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Calibri">Today is known in the United States as ‘Thanksgiving Day.’ Here in Australia we know no such day – something which could be seen as both a good thing and a bad thing. Good, in that it is not another day commercialised and bad, in that there is no particular day for acknowledging our gratitude to those that have improved our lives, etc.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Calibri">But why do we need a particular day for this – can we not be thankful and express our gratitude on a daily basis? I think we can. I am not calling for a false expression of gratitude and thankfulness, but that which is real and true – surely we can all find something to be thankful for? I know it isn’t hard for me to find plenty to be thankful for throughout each day.</font></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Once I received an email like this from my bozz</p>
<p>&#8220;it is very poor what you have done so far, AGung.&#8221;</p>
<p>I was like &#8220;WTF?!?!&#8221;</p>
<p>is it polite for any boss to send his employee email something like that?<br />
i understand that they have right too assess our work, but the using of vocab &#8220;poor&#8221; doesn&#8217;t seem right at all to me</p>
<p>and as a boss, I&#8217;m thinking that at least their leadership is beyond average. On that sentence I just can&#8217;t see any of leadership he has, and what he&#8217;s doing is not motivate at all his employee but more like putting them down</p>
<p>I asked my friends opinion and all of them are agree, that such attitude is so low. One of them wrote this ,</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>hi<br />
oh you poor thing&#8230;.what a mean boss if he said your work performance is poor. Yes, you are right, he should have given you concrete examples of what he means by poor performance and also concrete things you can do to improve. Hang in there. Remember, bosses often were never trained to be bosses. They just somehow got the job. It doesn&#8217;t mean they are the boss because they are good in leadership or people skills. My boss usually yells at me. So be glad he doesn&#8217;t yell at you.</em>&#8220;</p>
<p>How about you? What do you think about that ? </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h6 style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://secularbible.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/405632849_0fd70c31b2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-61 aligncenter" title="405632849_0fd70c31b2" src="http://secularbible.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/405632849_0fd70c31b2.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/helico/405632849/">Helico</a></h6>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Well, I read Genesis 5. All this begetting did not make much sense to me. While it is interesting to ask why this part is included in the bible at all, I am more interested in stories, so, I jumped to Genesis 6.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Genesis 6 is the beginning of the story of Noah&#8217;s Ark. But the story starts with a dark twist:</p>
<blockquote><p>And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah. These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Don&#8217;t we all feel sometimes like men can only imagine evil continually? Every morning we open the newspaper and see all the horrible things that are happening around us. It is so easy to think that this is a true representation of the world. We are bombarded with bad news, with the extremes. It would not be a very interesting news reports if the news started with: &#8220;today, 5 billion people did nothing evil; most of them actually helped their friends&#8221;. Nevertheless, The fact that we only see and hear about bad things does not mean that only bad things are happening.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And what does that have to do with Noah&#8217;s story? Well, even God, who is not swayed by the new-age media and news reports, first assumed that everybody is evil. However, when he looked deeper, he found good. True, it was only one man I a world of evil, but it means that there is always hope. And that  the search for good is always worthwhile. If we look deep enough and continue to believe, we will find good in the world. We will find the people who are willing to help and sacrifice and change the world for the better.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is easy to find (and to practice) evil. It is much harder to find (and practice good).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Oh so I didnt go visit my sister yesterday ):  I got a really bad cold so then I told my parents that I didnt want to go.  Besides, she was coming home on Tuesday, so I think I can wait till I see her.  My parents were only gonna stay with her for like 2 hours because they just had to drop something off.  Then they were gonna eat lunch and leave.  I just spent my day on the computer, watching tv and blowing my nose.  Ugh, I hate being sick.  My nose always runs and stuff.  I used like 2 tissue boxes already -_- I had fun though at home.  I watched some cool shows on TV, worked on my site a bit and just relaxed!  Hopefully I get better though because my nose is sore from blowing my nose ):</p>
<p>I wanna cut my hair.  I want to get rid of my layers and cut it like how Selena&#8217;s is in this picture: <a href="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/f/e/f/9/Selena_Gomez_shows_dae6.jpg">http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/f/e/f/9/Selena_Gomez_shows_dae6.jpg</a> I want it like that length.  I use to have it that short but I had layers, so it stuck to my head.  I looked like a boy with long hair -___-.  Yea, so now I wanna get rid of my layers and cut it!  Hehe I&#8217;m excited to get it cut, but I dont know when I&#8217;m gonna or if my mom will cut it.  Hmm..decisions, decisions..</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hey guys! Its kat! Ive been watching and viewing my clustermaps and views lately. I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE! But I have good news and bad news, as usual, i will do bad news first. The bad news is, due to many tests every week for me with my puffle middle school, me and misty are losing much time to update this blog. And sadly, my goal of being a famous club penguin blogger is starting to crash, due to me and her losing interest little by little of blogging and a little bit of Club Penguin. My membership will also expire today or tomorrow. BUT: Here is the good news: If i get over 10 comments on my site, I will keep going on for this blog (just to make sure people are viewing this blog) for a very long time, trying my best to be active, and have cool stuff in the future, being very sucessful! I will also renew my membership. So, I don&#8217;t want to miss all these upcoming AWESOME club penguin stuff, <strong>SO COMMENT RIGHT AWAY!!! </strong>It means SOOO MUCH. You have nooo idea. Please do so, because if I don&#8217;t get any comments, I will make a last post, saying I am quitting this blog. I am soo sorry&#8230;so please decide, go ahead and comment. It will mean so much!!! Thanks! School is tough, you know, but with a blog and school, education is always first. Who knows, maybe ill be famous in the future. But comment. I need to see, if I don&#8217;t get any comments about near 10 in one and a half weeks. I am quitting. THIS is a warning. Im sooo sorry like I said. School involves so much work. Ok guys, thats all! <strong>COMMENT! Thanks, God bless, Happy Thanksgiving!</strong></p>
<p><strong>love always, peace, waddle on, god bless, reports in im out:</strong></p>
