So I am on Skype with my best friend and one way or another I asked, ” What sound does a giraffe make?” She was like I dont know ill look it up on youtube.
we found these:
but they did not answer our question.
So my question of the Moments/ Day/ Week Month is ” What Sound Does A Giraffe Make?”
Tell Me and Ill put anything you want on my blog. yes this is a contest.
Please stop send naked pictures, I mean sexting. I know i know its the thing to do, i mean all the teenagers are out sending naked pictures and all. But you KNOW they are going to be leaked. It happens to ALL of you, ALL the time. I go on my trip to LA, come back to the Internet and all this talk about Rhianna’s boobs, and Cassie’s boobs, and ugh. I mean everyone has seen boobs. Any person can get on a computer and goggle naked whatever they prefer. But just stop.
And Media come on now, they are just breast everyone has seen, taken or has a picture of someones breast. Lets not blow it out of proportion. We have such BIGGER things to deal with right now besides if some singer has a nipple piercing.
So to Celebrities: be a little responsible. and Media: STFU
I write, interviewed and produced this peice, with the help of my editor/producer Brett in four days and now its on National Public Radio (NPR) show Marketplace. Listen Here
—-Aired to this morning—
I’ve never had $5,000 a year to spend at the mall, but that’s the average amount teens spend per year on retail, or at least it was. A new study from Piper Jaffray says teen spending is down 14 percent this year. My friend Rose Powell and I know all too well about cutting back.
Rose Powell: Now we definitely go, ‘oh we should go do this.’ And then the first question is always like, how much does that cost?
Rose and I used to go to movies all the time.
Powell: And like now, like we go ‘hey like who’s house are we going to, to sit around at and talk to each other?’
We’re definitely not shopping for new outfits these days, and we’re not alone. Clothing is one of the hardest hit categories — taking a 22 percent plunge. And that’s visible at my school. I don’t hear anyone bragging about their brand name jeans anymore.
Powell: There’s totally like kind of a stigma now for being like ‘oh I have hella money I just buy whatever I want.’ Cause you’re like ‘oh look at that rich kid over there who like is not economizing ooh.’
Other students don’t have the option of economizing, like 17-year-old Derek Williams. After his mom went on disability and his older brother got laid off, hanging out with friends became extremely difficult.
Derek Williams: My friends know my situation so they know sometimes that I don’t have money, and they want me to go out with them so they’ll…
So they’ll lend him the money, which makes Derek feel like he’s got to treat his friends like Wells Fargo.
Williams: The way I think about it is if, like, they the bank, so I took out this amount of money from them so I’m in debt and I pay it back.
For most teenagers, having a social life is an essential part of our identity, and sometimes it requires money. But teens like me are finding ways around this. Now I shop at thrift stores instead of department stores, and I even split $5 foot longs with my friends.
But I think this recession has prepared me for the future. I’m learning to budget and save money, skills some people have trouble understanding well into adulthood.
In Oakland, Calif., I’m Asha Richardson for Marketplace.
I adore Spark Notes and Cliff Notes. They have helped me time and time again. I dont rely upon them, but with my attendance record they are necessary to maintain my GPA. Both sites have character list, important fact, plot outline, quizzes and more. I usually use both online, if I cant find a way to read the book. And our teachers are aware of this, so its not like I’m cheating, not really.
But in my Honors English class we are reading non-classical books. These include 100 Years of Solitude, Woman at Point Zero, Tropic of Orange, The God of Small Things and several other fantastic random books.
You can find Cliff Notes in your local library, SparkNotes has dam near every book you will read, but you should add GradeSaver to your list of shortcuts. GradeSaver will have every book Sparknotes doesn’t. I ran into this site when looking for a more detailed summary
this book is on gradesaver
of 100 Years of Solitude. It was wonderful, I was able to engage in discussion the class and write an essay.
Now I need to read God of Small things, and Grade Saver is the only website that covers it. I read the book along side it for the first chapter and is was very accurate. They have some quizzes, parts of the site want you to pay but you can read all the summaries and analysis completely free. Check it out!
When I hit the dance floor, you know I DONT do the stanky leg. Ok i don’t know where to start with this song. What the fuck are they talkin about. I cant “Jack [my] feet up in the air and check [my] Myspace too.” That’s not even possible, how im going to be on the computer or my sidekick and dance to this dumb ass song at the same time. I really dont understand my fellow “inner city teens”. I dont know what about this song is attractive or good. I hope someone can help me understand how ” Stanly Legg” by G-Spot(GS) Boyz is hot. The only song that pisses me off more is “Your a Jerk” by New Boyz. Ok the whole song says “your a jerk” over and over again in the chours. Really? Boys in Skinny jeans skipping backwards… wow for real.
And really we call this music. When I go out to party I got to hear this shit, cant fucking escape it. OMG “One a Boat” has more creative lyrics. And the jerk dance is just skipping backwards, SMH. And I’m not an old white conservative southern Republican man, tryna shut down the block party. Im tryna find it. Ima Bay Area California Teen and Artist. And i cant figure this shit out at all.
Do you think its garbage too? Or is it hot and I’m taking it too seriously?
I guess I just miss real music, b/c this BS makes Soulja Boy looking like a real rapper.
here this is my opinion, so you watch the video tell me what you think:
What Do YOU think? becuase im not impressed at all.
So i was 2 when his career started, and while im not a fan of his new cd im not hating. I gues i just expected more from him. idky. this video is too cute though…
I guess im just posting this because im sad to say like 13-30 of my hits per day come from people looking or searching for BowWow. I think I talk about some pretty random stuff. You know to keep your attention and so even if you wanted to search for something you’d run into my page. But no, its the BowWow fans that keep coming. And I thanks them, try reading some of my other stuff though, comment, tell me bout a story and ill post it.

Are You Infected? by JusJust
So most people who have read my blog have told me I should get a twitter, it would lead more people to my site and comment and connect. I dont know why im so relucant to tweet, Even the Whitehouse has a twitter. And who doesnt want to know what Obama is doing 24/7 or what everyone is doing 24/7. Just sounds like another way for me to remain unproductive and distracted online. I think maybe if I had a cell phone which supported the application. I really dont know what to do about this. I think I will get a twitter then hate myself for it.
