OUR MINDS
We've designed this page because there are alot of views that we just don't seem to agree with. If there's anything you'd like us to talk about or if you have opinions you want us to post, email us.
What we want to clarify,
is that our opinions and beliefs are simply that, they are based on what
we have experienced in life, what we've seen our friends go through, and
what we have observed of society. We are not here to give some all great
and powerful knowledge about life. We are here to voice what we feel on
certain issues, and topics. We're not all knowing but We give pretty good
advice. Don't get us wrong, we are not perfect (far from it actually) but
we've been through enough to know a little on how the world kinda works,
and we can say this much, it ain't a fair place. Our opinions have been
known to be a little strong at times. but we do not in any way mean to
offend anyone =-) Please, we'd love to here from you. =-)
SOCIETY
We have a few questions we want to ask you all. Do you believe everything that you read? And have you ever questioned a belief that you were brought up believing? Let us explain. Everyday we see or read about things happening in countries far away from us.. From wars to peace treaties, now let me say that in most cases the stories may be true, but as society has grown so has the media, and because of that growth no one really questions what is given to them. The newspapers, TV, and radio stations have the ability to create elaborate stories to capture our minds and imaginations. But what is real truth? Days go by and we are lied to by the government and others in powerful positions. The world as we know it is changing and no one is taking notice. George Orwell's book 1984, about the deceit and total ignorance of society will certainly become reality if we as a community continue to take all said and done as justice and truth. Great knowledge is only obtained by continuous questioning of what is said to be reality. How can we, who have never seen the whole universe say what is obtainable, possible, and realistic.
We don't really understand the way things are in today's world. Especially lately. It seems that everyone is out to get everyone else. People have had ignorance instilled in them and Society has strengthened a harmful feature: APATHY. Most figure "Why should I care?" WAKE UP!!! If you took a look around you you'd realize the world is slowly but surely falling apart. CARE!!!!!!!!!!! Or simply suffer the consequences but DON'T Complain. .
No one really knows what
the universe holds for us. There are so many possibilities. The creativity
of so many writers makes me think twice about what society perceives as
the truth. How can we, who have only seen so much of the universe say we
are the ones capable of setting limits on what is obtainable, possible
or reasonable. Everyday things happen that challenge the very essence of
our beliefs......... In short, what is truth, but a fancy illusion society
puppeteers are giving us to quench our desire for more?
WE'VE
LEARNED
written by: Alexandria Celeste and Marissa
Once a long long time
ago the world was a place where there were good
little girls and boys who listened to all they were told by their respected
elders....... Then they opened their eyes, and boy were they shocked. They
realized The "Big People" Lied, and they LIED ALOT!!!!!!!!!
I realized at a young age you can't trust too many people. It's amusing
though,
if you stop and think about it. I mean, you have your basic human being
who ignorantly entrusts someone they hardly know with their life. Then
they wonder how on earth they could have been hurt. Hmmmm. let me
think about that one. So I was fortunate to grasp the concept of protection
at an early age. But not without a catch. I don't believe in conformity,
but I'm not going to parade around acting all tragic to get something
that I don't like changed right when I want it changed. It doesn't work
that way, If you thought it did, you were diluded by society. Nope, don't
make waves unless I really really have to. Now, I hope you don't perceive
me to be a peaceful observer on the sidelines because I'M NOT. I fight
for what I believe. It seems like it's usually me against the world. Sorta
like Luke and the Alliance against Darth Vader and the Emperor.
(Star Wars, please
tell me you know Star Wars)
But well Ya gotta do
what ya gotta do, that's just the way this sad little world works. And
Luke seemed to do relatively well, I mean yeah, he got Jedi training and
all, but maybe if I keep watching I'll learn a few tricks. Ya just never
know, now do you. Anyhow all we can ever really do is just fight till we
prove our point or till someone kills us. Which ever comes first. =-)
GUYS
Written
by: Alexandria and Marissa
Now this is most decidedly
a topic on which we will not falter to give our opinion.
It seems as though many
(women) seek to categorize all (men) as one type (stereotype). There
are several specific types of guys (at least that I've encountered)
It is, however, a never-ending process of which, scientifically speaking,
the task of finding a new specimen never ends.
I find guys to be generally agreeable in disposition. Though prone to acts of careless stupidity and insensitivity (Now really, who of us can say we've never acted in such a manner?), they do seem to have a generous, gregarious side (usually). But not ALL guys fall into this over generalized category. (Though be it traitorous, I must readily admit neither do many women.) In my socializing I have encountered several specific types of guys. They are:
- The Everlasting Friend
- The Shy Guy
- The Impossible Guy
- The Jerk
The Almost Perfect Guy
The Everlasting Friend
****************************
George
Downes (Rupert Everett, "My Best Friend's Wedding)
This is the guy (Whether
heterosexual or homosexual) you can call for EVERYTHING. You know
you can call him when you don't know what shirt to wear, or because you
are bored. He doesn't laugh or think your minor emergencies are frivolous
(like when Carter on ER was stabbed and you were absolutely devastated,
or when that hottie you've been drooling over looked at you and you had
to know, from another guy, what it meant.... at 2:00am =-) )
He's reliable, generous,
comical, understanding, honest, and he's pretty darn good at just KNOWING
when something's wrong. No matter what you tell him you feel or have
done he doesn't judge you. He gives you his opinions and let's you
decide what's best. Of course if you fall flat on your face, he doesn't
do the whole "I Told You So" Dance. He helps you up, nurses
you and tells you to keep your chin up. ( I am soooo lucky to have
a few of these in my life!! you know who you are.) The wonderful
thing about this guy is you're there for him, and he LETS you.
The Shy Guy
**************************
Brian
(Anthony Michael Hall "The Breakfast Club")
This is the guy who you can barely get any sentences out of. He's
the one that rarely looks you in the face and prefers solitude to group
activities. The concept of socializing may simply terrify him into
muteness or revolt him into locking his door. Either way an every-now-and-then
brief conversation is all you'll get from this guy, unless you have a crowbar,
so making due is what's gotta be your specialty. Befriending him
really isn't that hard (at least in most cases it hasn't been for me) Being
nice and politely persistent is really the only key. These guys are
usually
the nicest in the world.
The Impossible Guy
***********************
Jake
Ryan (Michael Schoeffling, "Sixteen Candles")
This guy is the one (of the many) who makes
your heart stop. You hear his voice and you get weak in the knees
(yuck). in High School he was the either "The Rebel" or "Mr. Popular"
In college he's, well, basically either "The Rebel" or "Mr. Popular".
He sits in the back of the class or way up front seems to always look bored
or mildly interested. Sometimes he'll say something profound, but
generally he just exists, (which as far as I'm concerned is fine).
Getting to know him isn't that hard either. "Hi" usually works, if
not then offering to help him study does the job well to. (hey they
may be cheesy but they work most of the time!)
The Jerk
************************
Gaston
(Beauty and the Beast)
This is the guy that
sadly alot of us fall for. He's the guy that we become friends with
and try our utmost best to become close to. He's the guy you call
and he tells you he'll call you back and never does. You try your
best to be there for him ALL the time and when you want him there you look
around and he's, well, NOT. Every time he makes you feel bad he smiles
(that incredibly heart melting smile) and says he's sorry and you forgive
him..... Again. You wish he saw you the way you see him....
blah blah blah. Girl get a grip!! he's scum, he's too low for
even the dogs to bite.
The Almost Perfect
Guy
*************************
Prince
Eric (The Little Mermaid)
Now we all pray there
are alot of these types out there. Or that some of the ones above
come to their senses. (Ehem...I know
a guy like this who is dying for me to put his picture above... we'll see
if he's a good enough boy.) This guy is by
NO means perfect, but then again who of us is?? He's just so caring
and understanding and sweet and generous and well you get the picture.
He treats you right and lets you voice your opinion. He never makes
you feel inferior to him and when you want to talk he makes time for you.
You know he's your soulmate......When you find this one don't be stupid
enough to let him go...
So there are the types of guys I've encountered. That's all for now..
