What is Love?
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12"> name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12">“I believe in a thing called love” is a phrase one may hear on the radio, at a concert or in movie. Love is a topic that most songs are about. Most songs talk about being in love, losing the one you loved, or making love, looking for love, being loved and finding the perfect love. If one made a drinking game out of drinking whenever a song said the word love, the people would be drunk before the first ten songs on the radio were done being played. “Love, Love, Love”, is what the Beatles sang in concerts to tons of young girls who were madly in love with the Beatles. Love is a part of life and no matter what you believe or don’t believe love is one thing that you can’t say doesn’t exist. You can’t go into a field and pick love up and put it on a table, you can’t eat love in your soup, and you can’t go to love for a day off. Love is something that many people have tried to define and yet no one can really agree on what it really is. Love is more than a feeling, but not just pure action. Love is a promise, but also a want. Love is the cure for the evil in the world, but is not being used. Love is perfect, but does not always work out. Love in itself is complicated.
In the bible, Love is God and since God is perfect, Love it perfect. Now to explain fully why something that is so perfect could cause so much heart break and pain is the understanding that human beings that use this perfect Love and practice it are not perfect causing faults to occur in this Love. Love could be perfect, but as many know love is abused, used, and trampled over and over again all over the world. Love is something one will take for granted due to it being all over. Love is forgotten due to it being invisible. Love is confused with other things due to it being so quiet and lacking attention seeking skills. To find love one must look hard for it and realize the only way to get love it gives it. Love is a gift, that can only be given and not taken. That is probably the reason why love is so misunderstood or lost, because as faulty humans we seek for ourselves and not for others.
Love is really simple after you take away all of the misunderstandings and perceptions of it. It is still complicated, but reachable. Love is the way an elderly couple still cares for each other even when one is facing death earlier that they expected. Love is the way a mother skips a meal so her children can eat their fill. Love is when a man gives up his past two pay checks to buy an engagement ring for his girlfriend. Love is when a child stands up for a stranger on the play ground. Love is when a couple decides to work out their problems instead of letting everything that happened get in the way. Love is being happy for someone else when you don’t want to be. Love is anything and everything that comes from giving fully of yourself and not asking anything in return. To truly have love and use it is to be selfless with your actions. It isn’t easy and it never will be, but Love is worth having. Everyone has felt Love and everyone is able to Love, but the question is will you work for Love?

Abortion: America's money maker
I normally don't like writing controversial things, because I like keeping my thoughts to myself and I would prefer if others did it more often. I also avoid controversial topics out of respect for others. I have many thoughts and many people would disagree with me, but I don't care. I just feel that if I respect someone enough not to tell them that I think she or he is a crazy selfish person, then he or she will respect me enough not to say I am too religious or lack the joy of experimentation. Neither are true, but I still prefer to have people judge me on my life not my beliefs. So I do the same to all that I know.
Now to the controversial topic... Abortion. Abortion is the one topic all teachers in all grades and age levels demand that no student writes a topic paper of research paper on. Teacher do this due to knowing that everyone always spit the same facts from both sides over and over again and after awhile everyone is just saying, "Please shut up, I don't care!" I wonder at times if people just want the arguing to end, because people don't like hearing they are wrong or if the yelling and putting down of others is just unpleasant to all people. It then makes me wonder if the real reason why the Holocaust in Germany being so successful, was because no one knew how to call out the concentration camps without turning off the public. Maybe Hitler wouldn't have had so much support if someone found a better way to make it obvious that what he was doing is not good for anyone. How bout instead of saying, "Killing Jews is EVIL" one could say, "Hitler is hurting our society by getting rid of our workers and ruining our individuality by making us conform" or, "The Nazi party uses fear to gain power, but true power comes from the people and we the people need to gain back our power". It is interesting how a switch in the argument could maybe not only make people think about it more but maybe be more open to supporting the cause.
Lets return to Abortion, a very hated and unloved topic. Lets look at the facts, there are two groups that are very much strong in their view of abortion: The Pro-Lifers, and the Pro-Choicers. The Pro-Life community is normally seen as the Catholic church, which is funny, because even those who openly preach against the Catholic faith are committed to being Pro-Life. so to see Pro-Life groups in their true colors they are the people who are for life. What a great thing to be for the life. I feel everyone would be for life, but then again there are those who appose life and those are the Pro-Choice people. These people are considered to be liberal, democrats, feminist and well anyone who wants a choice. So in just these names one may think you only have two choices to either love life and have no freedom or be against life and have choices. Some how I feel these names really don't do justice to either sides on the Abortion topic. So I will rename them: those who are against abortion for anyone are not call anti-abortion and those who are okay with abortion even if they would never have one or let their daughter have one are pro-abortion. I feel at this point someone is screaming in their head about how rude it is to call them pro-abortion when they believe others should have choices. But lets be honest in reality you are either for something or against this in between crap is just use used to avoid conflict. And at the beginning of this blog I already said I am being controversial and someone needs to be mad at the end of this blog for it to be truly controversial.
Back to the facts Pro-Abortion people say abortions are needed for society to live, avoid over population, give woman back their rights that natural law stole from them by making them fertile. Abortion is also seen as away to help woman avoid ruining their lives after a mistake. Anti-Abortion people will say that a life is a life and no one has a right to end another life due to a mistake. Anti-Abortion people also say that abortion steals all the beauty of being a woman, over-population doesn't exist and abortion destroys lives, literary and figuratively.
Don't you love that I just stated the facts and didn't beat one side or the other into your head? I do too, because lets face it this constant fighting over the same facts get us no where, but I have a new approach which may mean nothing, but is a plus to why I am against all abortions. In my own mind Abortion is murder and only is allowed in the United States is because of the income it brings in. If this was a research paper I would state the income and people would be wtf why are we paying taxes the abortion industry should cover paying for our roads and schools and those damn doctors could still vacation in Hawaii with the left over money. To be honest the income to be nothing compared to the United States debt, but when there are a lot of zeros people assume things.
When I say Abortion is murder I'm not just talking about the unborn baby I'm talking about the mother. Just on Youtube you can find story after story of woman who talk about the horror of having an abortion and how it failed at many different times. There are also many stories within books like Lime 5 and medical documents of failed abortions where the mother and the child died.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vh1frrx_-w&feature=related
this link is a video of one abortion clinic that had a history of abusing the patience and sending young girls and woman to the hospital due to accident. Thanks to our privacy act laws if a woman dies from an abortion the family can't sue to abortion clinic, since her record are "lost" and there is no proof that she ever had an abortion.

In this sappy youtube video that goes through a partial birth abortion step by step what happens. By looking over it and being a woman certain thoughts go through my head. One is I would never let someone put huge scissors that close to my vagina ever!!! Lets think about it this baby that is being aborted is still moving and alive and no subdued. The reason people are put under for surgery is to avoid move that could cause more damage. A non-subdued baby will be constantly moving and once it feels pain it will be kicking like crazy. If it kicks the hand with the scissor the scissor could pierce through the baby's top layer of skin into the vagina. The vagina the most fragile and sensitive part of a woman's body. These woman are knocked out. If the abortionist doesn't realize that she cut her she could bleed for days and never question the pain or blood due to thinking it is her period and it hurts due to her "surgery". If she tries to call back to the abortion clinic about the pain they will say go see your doctor and by the time she gets to a hospital she could have bled out and died. The abortion doctor killed her and her baby, but yet again he or she gets no charges against him thanks to America's lovely protecting law of privacy.
Why would the United States of America continue to put woman's lives in danger of death every day? Why does the United States of America let millions of people smoke cigarettes and use other tobacco products that are known as one of the top killers in the nation? Why would the United States of America support continue to allow dangerous things open to the public? There is one answer and many won't like it, but money is what makes America go, it is what wins elections, it is what gets people in college, it is what drives people to keep their mouths shut or sell out a friend. The USA isn't the only place where money is the cause for letting innocent people die, the world does it. I'm not offering an answer or judgment. I'm just laying out the facts saying that abortions don't just kill the unborn; abortion also kills teenagers, college students, and single mothers on a yearly basis. Think about that for second and think about what would people say if it came out that abortions are still dangerous for the mother even though it is now legal in the United States.

one of those moods
I feel slightly like a bitch. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I keep feeling like I'm forcing myself to socialize. It could be that I'm sick or I'm on my period, but I don't feel like my normal happy extroverted self. Instead I feel like a awkward introvert. Being introverted isn't a bad thing, I love being introverted, but lately I feel like I'm being forced out of my shell and instead of just looking like I'm uncomfortable, I feel I come off as a unhappy bitch who is in love with herself.
I feel so bad after talking on the phone with someone, or standing and talking with someone. I go out and hang out with my friends and their friends and instead of being cool and easy to talk to I just sit there and act as if I have better things to do. I feel as if I'm coming off as a 13 year old girl who was dragged along by her parents to her father's company's picnic.
I wish I could pin point my reason for my awkwardness and why I feel so anti-social. Even when I'm being an introvert at least I'm doing something introverted like reading or enjoying myself. But even though I feel awkward and am mad at myself for going out with my friends, I hate being home too. I don't want to just chill at home. I also don't want to go out and put effort into a conversation. However I miss my friends, so I want to talk to them on the phone and call them and see how they are doing. Then again I hate myself for doing it, because I feel as if I'm coming off as if I didn't even want to call in the first place. I don't know what my problem is, but I hope it stops soon. Either I want to have a normal introverted night where I relax and enjoy my alone time, or I go out and don't feel stupid or bitchy afterward.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

For all Those Sorority Bitches of Alpha Delta Pi
"The Bitchiness and bitterness needs to stop. I'm sorry, but we are the Alpha Delta Pi, not the Delta Zeta's I'll sleep with your boyfriend, or the I'm an Alpha Gamma Delta and I hate almost everyone, but I can drink whenever I want to, or the Zeta Tau Alpha's who only have their grades. I joined this chapter, because I saw we were the best, but I see our need to be better than the others has made us crazy. I don't know if you guys don't see it, but we are better than the others. We are sisters, not just some rich bitches paying for connections. Last time I checked I kind of love you all and actually enjoy being with you and don't need to get wasted off my ass to spend more than an hour with you. Don't question it I know of other sororities that can't only be together in a social setting if they are drunk. How bout instead of treating each other as just another resource to 'look' better. So next time you are about to complain about a sister, think your view is more important than someone Else's feelings, remember this; We are NOTHING without each other. If you believe it than remember we live for each other and for Alpha Delta Pi. don't make one of us want to leave, because you have issues. We all have issues, we will all disagree, but treat everyone as you would want to be treated and stop judging each other. I'm sick of it and I want it to stop. I'm tired of seeing my sisters cry, because everyone is busy being a bitch to each other. My last thought is a sorority can be one of two things a sisterhood of amazing girls who accept each other no matter what are a bunch of loser that have to pay for their friends. How bout we act like sisters instead of a bunch of losers who need to buy their friends."

You Don't Know Me
By Ben Folds
see relatedOpen-Minded
I can't stand close minded people. I hate how they judge you and think to themselves that they are better than others. When I was younger I would purposely dress out of the norm or be unacceptable in public by my looks or action. Partly, because I hate how everyone always judged each other. I loved surprising people and break down stereotypes. It was one of my favorite hobbies in High School, but I won't like it started in about 7th grade as a way to show that I was more than a stereotypical girl who sucks at science and math. One of the reasons I felt this way was, because I actually was amazing at Science and Math. Would love it, but I don't see the fun of not having a real challenge.
There I was in High School showing the world that stereotypes are stupid and then I went to a Liberal Conservative College or a very Conservative Liberal College... that once was religious and once held strong values. This lovely school upon a hill that brings education to many people sure has a lot of close-minded people who claimed to be open-minded. This wouldn't bother me if it wasn't for the fatc that their closed-mindedness makes a mockery of those who really are open-minded.
Being open-minded is more than being okay with Homosexuals, African Americans, Hispanics, and Free Health Care. it is more than being Liberal too. It is even more than being anti-conservative. It is way more than not being a republican. I just want to point out that the Far Left Winged men and women are just as closed-minded as the far Right Winged women and men.
To be truly open-minded you need to first realize that anything you don't agree with is NOT REALLY WRONG or STUPID. Just because you don't agree with it, doesn't mean it should be taken out of your sight. To be really open-minded you need to realize others' rights. Women who like women should be allowed to like women, but shouldn't all Christian Churches, all over the world, be called to judgment for their sinfulness and not just the Catholic Church? Should the Israelis be brought up on being bad neighbors as much as the Palestine? Shouldn't American, France, Britain, Italy, and Russia also take responsibility for the First and Second World War and not all the blame be put on Germany?
Now if you are sitting there saying to yourself, "whoa! taking away someone's blame is wrong and those who got charged with their crimes should be punished." Then you my friend are just as closed-minded as those damn Republicans and just as closed-minded as those fucking conservatives.
You know how there is a fight and the kid who gets in trouble always say, "he hit me first." and the response is, "well you shouldn't have hit him back". What is fair about that? Two kids in a fight and only one punished? Is all these other situations the same? In World War One Germany and the REST OF EUROPE was dragged into a war, but since Germany was on the losing team they got in trouble. Well then Germany hit back and hard and yes it was tragic, but if the other countries didn't try to sack Germany in the first place, Hitler wouldn't of had a chance and 6 million Jews would still be alive, or would have lived longer. Also thanks to World War Two's settlement and placing the Jews back in Israel... there has been tons of deaths thanks to BOTH sides being childish and stupid fighting over land. Really people? land... there is tons in Texas.
Well anyways back to my point this whole closed-minded thing is really pissing me off again. Why is it that there are these people at this college claiming that they are sooo open-minded? You see since they agree with the Democrats they must be open-minded, however they will not sit still and watch a certain type of movie, due to "hating" that genera.
How the FUCK is that open-minded? Why can't you be OPEN to everything? To be truly open-minded one must constantly be open to trying something new or accepting someone new into their life. I'm not talking about experimenting, but I do have a personal example.
I won't lie vegetarians didn't make sense to me for the longest time. I LOVE meat, without it I would die. I hated lent and how my family would give up meat and would eat either veggie dinners or fish. I hate fish too, but still. As time went on being a vegetarian became a lovely fade and all my friends were doing it. Along with drinking, sex, and drugs, but that HIGH School right? Upon coming to college I met my best friend and she doesn't eat meat. To be honest I still forget that she doesn't eat meat, but that is due to me not paying attention or not caring about what others eat. It was, because of her that I ate less meat and more veggies and felt slightly healthier in my college life style. Well if I was closed-minded I'm pretty sure I would have never eaten half the food I eat now and I would be missing out on great food too. I now love veggie hot dogs and burgers. I still don't like fish, but I always try food with fish in it when offered, because you never know.
Just because I don't like eating tuna, doesn't mean I don't love fish tacos or shrimp. Everything is different and there is always varieties in life. By being closed-minded and judgmental to not only people but to: food, movies, types of books, certain plays, and life styles you are missing out on the beauty of life.
To be honest I don't mind people who are closed-minded, I just don't like people who lie about being closed-minded. Don't make fun of or question the way someone looks and then claim to be fully open-minded, because you agree that pot should be legalized and your best friend is gay. If you are closed-minded (even just a little bit) get over the fact you are not politically correct and own your closed-mindedness. I have more respect for my father who can be closed-minded than a girl at my school who constantly judges everyone and everything and claims to be open-minded.
I will say that I know I am not perfect and there are also times when I can be judgmental or closed-minded. I have chosen not to try something new due to past experiences. I have to work to be open-minded and I feel everyone needs to. Being open-minded isn't a natural thing, it is something that one needs to work at and takes time to deal with. So instead of hiding one's faults accept them and work to fix them.
