who to vote for
i would probably vote for the liberal party (Andrew Telegdi) because i really like the ideas he proposses. my two favourite are $1,000 per year in university and more money for a child care plan. I liked these because with the $1,000, it will allow university to be cheaper. With the child care plan money, this will help parents afford daycare for their children so they can focus on their jobs and not worry about what they are going to do with their chikdren.

WRITTING AS A CAREER
I would never want to be a writer. Being a writer requires to much creativity, imagination, and grammer which im not too good at...
I hate writing and I CAN NOT even think about havinig to write a chapterbook. that would be awful. I'm also very lazy and would probably get writers block alot. I can think of a million other things I'd want to do other than sit there for weeks and write a book that I would probably never even read.
Therefor, i could never be a writer.

a little bit about my background
FOOD: Jamaica has a wide range of food. Most of it features exotic spices and tropical friuts and vegtables, due to its location. Most popular on the menu is jerk, a marinade that can be added to almost anything, but usually meat. The spicy sauce includes many of the island's native ingredients.
ARTS (MUSIC): Jamaicans take pride in their artistic style. Influenced by the island's unique culture as well as European, American, and African art forms, islanders have mastered a style all their own. the most popular form of Jamaican music is reggae, which has a sound is so easy to enjoy that it has gained popularity throughout the world. Many reggae musicians have grown to international fame, most notably Bob Marley, who worked with and influenced many other local musicians before his death in 1981. The popularity of this genre has continued to
Reggae may be the most well-known style of music, but there are many more. However, the different types of music performed now fall into three groups: dance, religious, and work and entertainment.
Religious music: Religious music has been influenced by the various smaller religions popular on the island. These songs are generally accompanied by drumming and chanting. Songs can also include singing and other musical instruments.
Work & entertainment: Work songs are an aspect of the tradition rooted in the culture of slavery, when songs were used to pass messages and gossip, though they also helped ease the work of the slaves. Songs of this type followed a traditional African call and response format. However, games are also sung, and children often gather in circles to sing and clap. Games are generally very physically demanding, so there are rarely instruments in these songs.

EYE OPENER
"Where you live shouldn't determine whether you live"
this quote was given by the guy who made the invisible children movie we watched in class.
And when he said this, it stuck with me. Just because people live in third world countries doesnt mean they shouldn't have a chance at life. We often think that they are use to the way they live in poverty and with aids and in the excrucuating heat. When we hear their living conditions we often think they can tolarate how they live since they have been living like that their whole lives. What the guy who made the movie about the invisible children is try to say is we need to stop thinking like that and understand that they are humans just like us. They feel pain just like we do. More people need to realize this and stop thinking about them selves all the time.

-That awkward moment when someone deletes their comment on facebook and you look like you're talking to yourself
-"That awkward moment when a package says "Easy open" & you end up using scissors, knife, hammer, gun & a lightsaber trying to open it."
-That moment when you already packed your school bag and someone gives you back the pen they lent from you earlier -.- happens to me allll the time
-walking into your room saying "wow, i should rlly clean this" then walking out..
-*Walks into room* "Why am I here?" *Walks out of room* "Oh now I remember
-That awkward moment When you're in bed, 'half asleep' & you have a mini spaz attack & you think you're falling.
-That awkward moment when your parents tell you to stand in line & You're near the cashier & they haven't come back yet..
-Daydreaming while you're reading, then having to re-read what you just read.
-That awkward moment when you push a door, when you're supposed to pull.

Dear 12 year olds on Facebook, how are you in a complicated relationship?! Did they steal your cookies?
I DON'T GET HOW 12 YEAR OLD HAVE "RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS"...YOU'RE TWELVE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! LOL

You're to young to be postiong about you're relationship problems on facebook. you shouldn't have relationship problems at twelve.
It adds to much stress. Save the boy drama for highschool. enough said.
