thinks its absolutely FUNNY that my ex THINKS well be friends! im sorry, but not after all of the pain hes caused me, lied to me and used me! i told him that IF that were to happen, itll be a LONG time before my pain heals. he tried apologizing. i told him he could apologize 500 times, but that wont make the pain heal faster. he asked me how much time i needed and i told him that at this point, i honestly dont know. he also THINKS well get back together and eventually marry. im sorry, but i dont marry nor date someone who lies and uses me! he THINKS ill talk to him tomorrow about all of this. whats the point if he broke up with me? to repeat the same thing over and over again and the pain starts all over again? WRONGO

SERIOUSLY!?!??!?!?!!?

TWO YEARS AGO (SEPT 14, 2009) AN AMAZING ACTOR DIED. PATRICK SWAYZE! HE WAS AMAZING AND MADE PLENTY OF AMAZING MOVIES! HE ALSO DANCED (HENCE DIRTY DANCING). His mother is choreographer Patsy Swayze, owner of a dance school in Houston, where Patrick was also a student. His father was Jesse Wayne Swayze, who passed away in 1982. He graduated from Waltrip High School in Houston, and attended San Jacinto College in Pasadena, Texas. He married actress/dancer Lisa Niemi on June 12, 1975, whom he had known when she was 15 and a student at his mother's dance school. His New York City dance training included the Harkness Ballet School and Joffrey Ballet School. He first danced professionally as "Prince Charming" in "Disney on Parade". After a stint as "Danny Zuko" in the originalBroadway production of "Grease", he made his film debut as "Ace" in Skatetown, U.S.A. (1979). He made his television debut in "M*A*S*H", as a soldier diagnosed with leukemia. Eight years later, after considerable movie and television work, including choreography for Grandview, U.S.A.(1984), he received a Golden Globe nomination for his role as dance instructor "Johnny Castle" in the smash hit Dirty Dancing (1987). He received a second nomination for his portrayal of the ghost "Sam Wheat" in another box office champion, Ghost (1990). He was a solidly established box office star throughout the nineties. In December 2003, he returned to Broadway as a replacement for the lead role of "Billy Flynn" in the acclaimed revival of Kander & Ebb's musical "Chicago". The production also went on tour in several cities of the US, including Los Angeles. In January 2008, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He fought the illness for well over a year and was able to continue working, but died on 14th September 2009.


AN AMAZING SINGER DIED TWO YEARS AGO. MICHAEL JACKSON (JUNE 25, 2009). I GREW UP LISTENING TO HIS MUSIC AND I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE GONE TO ONE OF HIS CONCERTS. I HAD THE CHANCE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, BUT MY MOM DIDNT EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT CONCERTS WERE, SO I STAYED HOME TO WATCH SESAME STREET. I HAVE LOTS OF FAVORITE SONGS OF HIS, BUT SOME ARE: DIRTY DIANA, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT US, THRILLER, BAD, BLACK OR WHITE, SCREAM, WE ARE HERE TO SAVE THE WORLD, AND ANOTHER PART OF ME. I LOVE THE 3D MOVIE CAPTAIN EO! FUZZBALL IS THE CUTEST!!!!!!!!!!!! American superstar Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, on August 29, 1958, and entertained audiences nearly his entire life. His father,Joe Jackson, had been a guitarist but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Katherine (Scruse). Together they prodded their growing family's musical interests at home. By the early 1960s, the older boys Jackie, Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city; by 1964, Michael and Marlon had joined in.

A musical prodigy, Michael's singing and dancing talents were amazingly mature, and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of TheJackson 5. An opening act for such soul groups as the O-Jays and James Brown, it was Gladys Knight (not Diana Ross) who officially brought the group to Berry Gordy's attention, and by 1969, the boys were producing back-to-back chart-busting hits as Motown artists ("I Want You Back," "ABC," "Never Can Say Goodbye," "Got to Be There," etc.). As a product of the 1970s, the boys emerged as one of the most accomplished black pop/soul vocal groups in music history, successfully evolving from a group like The Temptations to a disco phenomenon.

Solo success for Michael was inevitable, and by the 1980s, he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. Record sales consistently orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album of all time, "Thriller" in 1982. A TV natural, he ventured rather uneasily into films, such as playing the Scarecrow in The Wiz (1978), but had much better luck with elaborate music videos.

In the 1990s, the downside as an 1980s pop phenomenon began to rear itself. Michael grew terribly child-like and introverted by his peerless celebrity. A rather timorous, androgynous figure to begin with, his physical appearance began to change drastically, and his behavior grew alarmingly bizarre, making him a consistent target for scandal-making, despite his numerous charitable acts. Two brief marriages -- one to Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley -- were forged and two children produced by his second wife during that time, but the purposes behind them appeared image-oriented. Despite it all, Michael Jackson's passion and artistry as a singer, dancer, writer and businessman are unparalleled, and it is these prodigious talents that will ultimately prevail over the extremely negative aspects of his seriously troubled adult life.

For it all to end on June 25, 2009, with his sudden death at age 50 of a drug-induced cardiac arrest, just as he was coming out of a four-year reclusive period and rehearsing for a sold-out London concert "comeback" in July, seems uncommonly cruel and tragic. Millions upon millions of dedicated fans will remember where they were "the day Michael died".

SOUL SURFER


LAST NITE, I WENT TO SEE SOUL SURFER WITH MY FRIEND SARAH ASKEW. IT WAS A REALLY GOOD MOVIE! IT WAS AN AMAZING MOVIE AND VERY INSPIRING! Bethany and Alana place first and third, respectively, while the second place winner, Malina Birch (Sonya Balmores), proves a fierce rival to Bethany. Bethany invites both girls up on the winner's box with her, but Malina ungraciously refuses. The Rip Curl surfwear company offers to sponsor Bethany and Alana in competition, in return for an advertising contract.

One night before Halloween, Alana and Bethany sneak off with some friends to go night surfing. Later, while Tom goes to the hospital for knee surgery, both of the girls go surfing with Alana's father and brother. As Bethany dangles her left arm in the water, a shark bites it off near the shoulder. Alana's father gets her out of the water and puts a tourniquet on Bethany while Alana's brother calls 9-1-1. An ambulance meets them on the way to the hospital. Just before starting Tom's surgery, Dr. Rovinsky (Craig T. Nelson) is called to the emergency room to treat Bethany. She has lost her left arm, along with 60% of her blood volume, and Dr. Rovinsky calls her survival a miracle.

Bethany's injury disqualifies her from the Rip Curl photo shoots, but she wishes her friend Alana well. Rip Curl is supportive of her, providing a prosthetic arm. The arm is cosmetically perfect and has bendable joints, but Bethany angrily rejects it when she learns it is not weight-bearing. The onslaught of publicity also proves to be a great strain on her and the entire family.

Nevertheless, Bethany perseveres and, after a recuperation period, gets back in the water and learns to surf with one arm, eventually re-entering competition. She tells her rival Malina not to take it easy on her, and rejects a five-minute head start offered by the judges. She doesn't perform well because she can't stay on the board long enough to go out and catch a competitive wave, and Malina wins. Disheartened, she decides to give up competitive surfing.

She sees the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami on television, which places her own problems in perspective. She decides to surprise Sarah by joining the youth group on another mission trip to help the devastated people of Thailand.

The people are understandably afraid of the water, including a little boy. Bethany decides to go into the water with her surf board, hoping this will coax the boy into the water. It works, and the realization she can use her gift to inspire people motivates her to take up surfing again.

Tom rigs a handle on her surf board which she can use to prevent falling off while paddling out to the waves, which is not prohibited by the competition rules. He also voices the belief that Bethany possesses a great surfer's instinct for sensing when the best waves will form. She enters the regional championship, thanks her rival for treating her as a serious competitor, and performs respectably, though she is still chasing third place.

Suddenly, with only minutes left on the clock, the waves die down and all the surfers can only loiter, waiting for them to start back up. Tom's belief in his daughter's instinct is proven when she is the only one to sense a big wave forming, and she alone paddles out.

When it forms, the others can't get out in time and she catches it just as the horn sounds. If it is in time, she will win, but the judges rule that the time has expired. Malina is the winner, but she has finally learned good sportsmanship from Bethany and she invites her up on the platform.

Subsequently, Bethany lets the reporters interview her. One asks her what she would do if given the chance to undo the loss of her arm. She says that she would still lose it because she can embrace more people now than she ever could with two arms.

BUT THEN I WOULDNT HAVE MY POSTERS, MY CARDBOARD CUT OUT, MY DRESSER, MY SHELVES ETC TO USE! PLUS I WOULDNT HAVE A PLACE TO PUT MY WII!
