Halloween Fun!

Most people when asked would say that Christmas or their birthday was their favorite holiday, and while i love both of those days, don't get me wrong, i would have to disagree. For me Halloween is my favorite. You get to dress up and be somebody else for the night. Its all about fun and games on Halloween, you goof off and mess around, unlike Christmas where you have to dress up and behave and all that. Also, everybody participates, its not a religious holiday, though it actually does have a religious background. See, originally Halloween was called All Hallows Eve. Which was a day where the spirit world was supposed to be closer in contact with the human world. The day after Halloween, Nov. 1st is All souls day. All hallows eve is more associated with evil spirts, where as all souls day is more associated with nice or kind spirits. All Souls Day is celebrated on the Christian calendar, and thus making it a religious holiday, however since Christians dont celebrate All Hallows Eve because of its evil association, that leaves Halloween as a religious free holiday. Ok, so thats all the random trivia i have for today. Trick or Treat! =D

Political Jummble

Ok so right now everyone is being bombarded with election campaign ads, debates, people's opinions about who you should vote for, yada-yada, so on and so forth. Honestly, im pretty tired of everytime you watch the news, or simply turn on the t.v., your attacked by political views and standings. Currently i would have to say that if i could vote my vote would be cast for Obama. While he is not a saint and i dont agree with everything that he stands for, the majority of what he says i do agree with and support. Yes, McCain does have some good points but not enough to sway me to the Republican side of the ballot. Thats just my opinion, what i'm entitled to. I acknowledge that other people disagree with my decision and thats fine because their entitled to that themselves. I also want it to be known that this is my opinion, that i have based on my beliefes, not anyone elses. No matter who you vote for though, just get out there and vote if your able. If you dont vote then your giving up your voice, and that means that if your unhappy with the president later then you have no right to complain, because you gave up your voice. VOTE!

Ok so i think i may be missing a week but im not sure so i'll just do two this week to make sure im covered.
Ok so more on the growing up topic. Now i cant decide because somedays my parents just drive me so nuts that i cant wait till im out of there and on my own, when i dont have to listen to what they say and why they think they are doing the right thing, even when i know that is not always the case. They tell me i need to take care of my own responsibiities like, car payments, car repairs, insurance payments, applying for college and setting up college days. Then in the next breath they say that i'm not an adult yet and that i still have to listen to them and obide by their rules. I need them to make up their minds and either give me all the responsibilities and benifits of being an adult, or take care of things for me and have me listen to them still. I would rather the first option because im now use to the responsibilities i just have yet to really see any benifits. While i may sound completly bi-polor now because this completly contradicts my last blog, i still think its the truth. I know that there is a lot more i could be paying for such as, food, schooling, our house, electricity, etc.; but i still think i pull enough of my own weight that i should be givin more respect and lenancy around my house. Ok rant time is over, thx for listening or tuning it out or w/e

the BIG choice; growing up

So this week i took my first college day of the school year. I went to SIUE, which i love, and i have pretty much decided that will be the college i'm going to. So now starts the application fun, and applying for scholarships and loans and all that non-sence. It kinda makes me appriciate the time i have left in high school, days were i dont have to know what i want to do with my life or think about the "big picuture". Days that i can goof off and hang out with my friends and enjoy the last few moments of still being innocent and not having to worry about bills or a full-time job or how im going to make it day to day. Thats my goal this year, to enjoy what time i have left just being a kid, not trying to grow up too fast. Cuz when your grown up, sure you dont have anyone telling you what to do or when to do it, or even how to do it. But then you have to start making those choices on your own and hope and pray that you made the right decision. Ya those kind of responsibilities i think i'll try to prolong as long as possible. So while all my classmates are trying to break away and go it on their own, i think i'll just enjoy the time i have, because soon enough it will be gone.

Post #2, lets hope its better

Ok so this week has been good so far. No major stresses, well besides the usual test and homework stress, and I really don't have a lot going on right now. This means this is an amazing week. I havn't had to run around really and I've actually been able to spend some time with my family and my boyfriend. Next week will go back to being caotic so im going to try to enjoy this one as much as possible. Its always good to enjoy the little things in life. =D
