Blog 20: My favorite movies
Grease is one of my favorite movies of all time! Always will be. It has been on VH1 alot lately, which is such a thrill to me. Another classic that can never ever ever be topped is Girls Just Want to Have Fun! Wow! The dancing, the clothes, the music, the everything! It is all so amazing. I can watch it over and over and over again. Newer Movies I like are of course chick flicks like The Notebook (cliche, i know), House Bunny, Legally Blonde, etc. Those are always fun to watch with your girls and remind you how ditzy and bitchy girls can be percieved. I also love comedies like Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, SuperBad, etc. A movie that can make me almost pee my pants is definitely a keeper! Then, I have my boyish side. I like The Patriot, Pearl Harbor, Saving Private Ryan, and stuff like that. They are interesting and intriguing. Movies are great because you can get to know characters and put yourself in other people’s shoes for a few hours. From the characters in movies, you can understand people in life better.

Blog 18: Blogging
Honestly, this whole “blogging” this has been a huge burden for me. I go to school everyday then straight to work all day and night and then home to deal with homework, etc. Maybe if I had no word minimum I had to reach or I could write about whatever, I’d be happier. But I hate it! Lately, I have had a lot of family problems lately, so fitting this in on top of homework is very difficult to me. I do like expressing myself and being able to open up somehow, but I guess this way is just not my “cup of tea.” My mom has been in the hospital for over a week now. Not having my mom is one of the most difficult things in the world. I can’t go up and stay at the hospital with her as much as I’d like because I still have to stay on top of school and work (her decision, not mine). I am not going to go into detail on everything going on with her. But things are getting worse… ALOT worse. Tuesday we went into the Intensive Care Unit and is still in there. I want to be positive but that is even harder. asdfghjkl;! I am not going to make a grade in this class anyways, so I am just going to blabber on until I reach 250. As for writing in this in the future, I strongly doubt it. When I was younger I wrote in a journal everything from poems to just how I felt, but that didn’t last for long either.

Blog 12: Great films
Unfortunetely, I was born in 1991 so I went out and rented The Silence of the Lambs to watch. I actually went out and rented this instead of just googling it because apparently I am the only person I know who has not seen it. One of the main characters was Dr. Hannibal Lecter. He was freaky! He had a way of getting in people’s minds and corrupting them from the inside out. Psychotic people get plessure out of this weird stuff. The main character’s name is Clarice, a student ins chool to become an FBI agent. I thought it was absurd that the FBI agent put just a student up for such a big job, dealing with Hannibal Lecter. The movie was pretty much predictible the entire time. They let Hannibal Lecter be transfered and in return he killed the guards and escaped. A few things that were not predictible were that Lecter had no desire to go after Clarice. He had such a creepy interest in her that you would think he wanted to go after her, but he says “the world is more interesting with her in it.” Buffallo Bill made the movie sort of funny in a way. He was a transvestite who killed bigger women to create a body suit to make himself a woman. The hole scene kept reminding me of Joe Dirt! All in all, the movie was interesting and the plot, music, and all the effects were excellent. I have the attention span of a 2 year old, so anything that can keep me interested for 2 hours is a great movie!

Blog 17 “Sing, sing a song…”
If anyone has bothered to read any of my blogs, it is very obvious what I do to express my creativity. Not only do I dance to express creativity, but above that, I choreograph. Choreographing is an expression of you and your individual ideas. It is putting the pictures or ideas in your head into reality. To see your own creation on stage is one of the greatest feelings in the world. I actually teach dancing at the Centre for Dance in Richardson, so I get the opportunity to share my passion and creative side with others. To see kids with the same passion I have is awesome because I see a little part of myself in them. I choreographed a few solos this past year for competitions and at nationals, a few of my girls won “choreography awards.” That was the ultimate satisfaction to have others acknowledge my creation, my choreography. Of course, I do dancing for me and only me, but the appreciation of others is always an incredible feeling! My old English teacher once said, the power of creativity is the closest we can get to playing God. I thought alot about these words and I agree. No one is ever going to be perfect like God, but making our own individual creation is as close to God as I possibly can be. Other than dancing, I have enjoy writing and painting, but I am just not as naturally talented at those. I enjoy making art, but it frustrates me when I do not create something perfect. I seem to forget that the imperfection of our individual creations is the beautiful part…

Blog 16 Stress relief
Dancing is the most effective stree reliever I have yet to find. If you are lucky enough to find something in your life that makes you feel that good and that happy, then don’t let it go. Sometimes, I even go up to my dance studio (Luckily, I own a key to the studio) just to freestyle alone at night. It feels so good to just let loose and leave all of your worries on the floor. Other than dancing, working out works for me. I go to the gym, put my ipod on, and forget the rest of the world. It is easy there because no one cares what you look like or anything like that. Another method of stress relief that has helped me is yoga. Yoga is amazing! It is hard to explain if you haven’t done it before, but you become one with your body and are working out at the same time! Time with friends is always a stree relief for me. I am always stressing about something, so a night out with the girls and a bottle of wine is the perfect solution. You should definitely try it sometime My girls can always help me get over something or help me have so much fun I forget what I was stressing about in the first place. Carefree fun and a reminder of your youth is nice for anyone! Finally, organization is a solution because if you stay organized and responsible, then you most likely won’t stress or at least as much in the first place.

Blog 15 Assessing ourselves
Seven AM classes were not my smartest idea! In high school, I was known as a “party girl.” I was always out, whether it was weekdays, holidays, or whatever. I never stayed at home. I am a very social person and sitting at home for more than an hour is a burden to me. I can’t even sit still! Needless to say, my high school grades were far from A’s. I barely went to school and if I did, I was usually hungover or sleeping. Actually, the reason I am at Richland is because my grades were too low to get into the college I desired, so I am doing a gateway program. The problem is not that I am not smart enough. I learn quickly and perform well; it was just true laziness. Once I started these classes at Richland, I have grown responsibility. I stay home to do homework at night and I actually wake up at 6:30 in the morning to get to class on time. The efforts I have put in have suprised my family, friends, and mostly myself! It’s a relieving feeling that I am actually staying on top of my school work, especially with how busy I am with work. Now, when I go into college, I will already have six hours of credits. I have grown faith in myself that I can actually be successful and responsible throughout college.

Blog 14: Enlarging Your World
http://michaeljacksonbeat.blogspot.com/
As I searched for blogs on the internet, I found most of the search results were blogs about Michael Jackson. The recent death of the “King of Pop” was a shock to the whole world! The title to the first entry on the page was, “Gone Too Soon-The Untimely Death of A Timeless Legacy“ The blogger wrote about how she was so exceited about the upcoming Michael Jackson concert she had tickets for, but her plans were ruined by the tragic news her parents told her. She continued on about how Michael Jackson was a huge part of her childhood and how sad she was for the Jackson family. It suprised me how caresmatic she was for all the charatable things Michael Jackson did in his lifetime. Most people keep the good deeds MJ did like opening up Neverland for disadvantaged children and donating money in the back of their heads. People have their negative opinions about Michael, but it cannot be ignored that he changed pop music, or some say the world of music as a whole.
In my opinion, Michael Jackson was a music icon. Growing up as a dancer, his music was a huge part of my childhood just like this blogger. I am not saying the guy didn’t have his problems, because we all know he was a sketchy guy. But I think that was due to his father and how he raised the Jackson kids… don’t get me on that though! Michael Jackson will always be remember and I pray that his family and friends get through this hard time.

Blog 11: Soundtrack of My Life
Waking up: Always Move Fast- Lydia This song is about living every moment of your life to the fullest. Cherish things while you have them, because people always leave and nothing lasts forever
First Day of School: People are Crazy- Billy Currington “God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.” So random! But I love this song. I am definitely a country girl, so this song has gotta be on my soundtrack.
Falling in Love: Feet Don’t Touch the Ground- Stoney LaRue “I fly so high when you’re around that my feet don’t touch the ground” This song is about the beauty of falling in love.
Fight Song: I’m At War- Sean Kingston It’s a song about fighting for the one you love. “Your love is like a nuclear weapon. My love is a soldier and my heart is a granade. Just call me World War II”
Breaking Up: Three Cheers for Five Years- Mayday Parade This song has gotten me through some pretty rough times in my past relationship. “I thought I could live in your arms and spend every moment I had with you”
Prom: Amazed-Lonestar Prom ’07, I went with my boyfriend to his senior prom. Tthis was the last song of the night and we danced to it as he sung every word to me. He picked me up and kissed me. It was one of those picture perfect moments when you forget anyone else is around and it’s just you two. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life.
Life: Bella’s Lullaby This is piano playing from Twilight that Edward gave to Bella to symbolize his love. It is simple, beautiful, and pure. The song has no lyrics. My life is impossible to put into words, but I see myself as a genuine, pure, and passionate person; which is the exact rare feeling you get from this song.
Mental Breakdown: Braille- Regina Spektor Her voice and music can calm me. The same goes for any Damien Rice or Parachute.
Driving: Should’ve Said No- Taylor Swift My girls and I used to scream this song in the car! Especially after break ups! It was the perfect girl moments of partying in the car together, no boys, and just genuine good times.
Flashback: Freeze Frame Time- Brandon Rhyder “Sometimes we laugh, and sometimes we cry. Some days it’s hard to figure out our way in this life. But it’s moments like these that make me wish I could freeze frame time” The lyrics pretty much sum it up… Live your life so fully that when you’re looking back on it, you do nothing but smile!
Wedding: Christmas Present- The Rocket Summer “So hug it tight and embrace it. Don’t let the world deface it. Just let it shout with amazement. As we dance tonight.” He sings about a perfect love that is so beautiful and so strong that nothing can defeat it. That is the type of love I want when I decide to marry someone.
Birth Of Child: Gavin’s Song- Marc Broussard “I wish we were together. I wish I was home. I wish there were nights where I was never alone. I know I’ve said it, but I’ll say it once again. I wish I could be there, but I can’t” I recently gave up a baby, so this is difficult for me…
Final Battle: Run to You- The Rocket Summer “run to you,i will run i will run. i will move right on through all these things that i have done and you’ll take me back, i dont know why. i wanna say i’ll never do it again but i cant, but i will try” This song is about giving yourself to God. Even though you have made countless mistakes and not always devoted yourself to him, you run to him and he will be there.
Death Scene: Requiem for a Dream piano We once did a combo to this song a couple years ago. The dance was tiring and felt so good on your body. It was the type of dance that wore you so out that you just had to give it everything you had and leave it all on the dance floor. This is the perfect song for my death scene in life, because I would definitely not go down without a fight.
Funeral Song: Road goes on Forever- Robert Earl Keen “the road goes on forever and the party never ends” That pretty much sums up my life. I want my funeral to be a celebration for my life. My party never ends! and I want people to remember me as that fun loving person.
End Credits: Free Fallin- John Mayer So calming, chill, and beautiful. I could listen to John Mayer all day!

Blog 13 Connecting
I went through almost everyone’s blogs. (11 hour work days allow you the boredom to accomplish that) I found it so interesting how different everyone is to each other. People who seem so quiet and shy in class have so much to talk about! I am going to keep the person’s blog I chose anonymousm though. His blogs are really inspiring. He’s obviously a very good writer, because his posts amaze me! When I do these blogs, I just keep blabbering on until I reach 250 words, but he truly writes what is in his heart and doesn’t care who knows it. All the guys I have had in my life have always been so manly about their feelings, so to know there are guys out there actually willing to shed an emotion amazes me.
He wrote a poem about a person too afraid to share their love for a person. I related to this poem so much. I think we’ve all missed out on opportunities because of fear. The poem showed that he felt on a lower level than the girl and he decided to keep his feelings silent. He also wrote about his first date with a girlfriend. The detailed description he gave down to the smell of the lake made me feel like I was there! He is so passionate and such a beautiful writer, I feel like I know him.
