must have some memorial day stuff here right...

here's the essay i wrote for history class:

The service and sacrifices of America’s veterans benefits us in so many ways. When you think back to the beginnings of our great country you remember our founding fathers, the pilgrims, the Native Americans, and you remember the soldiers that fought against the king’s army. You remember the blood, sweat, and tears that our sons, husbands, brothers, and fathers who endured to fight for a freedom that each of us takes for granted to this day. We are born with a freedom under the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights because our soldiers risked their lives for the generations that followed. If it weren’t for them we would probably still be living under the rule of the king of England and England’s current laws.
According to Wikipedia.com, Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, is a holiday that “commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country” and Veteran’s Day is a holiday “honoring military veterans.” Veterans consist of any and all those who enlisted in the army and have been deployed. This means any person that has served in the army, whether they were serving as a cook, a mail man, a cadet, or a sergent are all veterans. Usually when we hear veteran we think of those who fought in a war. But most times we don’t think of all those on the front line because even a cook can be on the front line providign for those in combat. That cook does have a firearm and is always in danger of becoming injured or killed while nurishing our soliders.
Our military consists of five branches, the Army, the Marine Corps, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Coast Guard. All those who serve in the military work every day to protect our country. According to goarmy.com, America’s soldiers protect “America’s freedoms at home and abroad, securing our homeland, and defending democracy worldwide.” In WWII our soldiers protected us from a monster that, if he wasn’t stopped, could have taken the world by storm. Because our freedom, homeland, and democracy were in danger and because democracy in other countries was being destroyed our government joined the fight. When our country defends democracy those who are fighting are defending the individual protected rights and equality of the people living under the said democracy. We also protect the right of the people to participate in the government and be protected under the rule of law.
If Hitler had not been stopped one wouldn’t be able to write this essay because one’s freedom of speech would have been revoked. If one were writing an essay it would probably be in German. And if one had survived after being born with dark skin, brown eyes, and dark brown hair, then one might not be able to go to school, and therefore would not know how to write. Under Hitler’s rule if you spoke out against him or did not agree with his policies then you would be punished and most likely killed.
Another example of how our veterans benefit us is the soldiers that served in the current Iraq War. When we entered Iraq it was under the assumption that there were weapons of mass destruction in the country, a statement that many countries, including France, told our President was true, and because the people were suffering under their ruler, Saddam Hussein. Weapons of mass destruction are a threat to everyone and our military’s goal is, again, to protect “America’s freedoms at home and abroad, securing our homeland, and defending democracy worldwide’’ for us to stand by would be going against our military’s promise to our country. We defended Iraq’s democracy and began to secure our homeland by searching for the said weapons of mass destruction.
Everyday our soldiers are working to protect our country and democracy worldwide. We must be thankful to them and honor not only the vets but also those who are currently serving our country. Without our brave soldiers, male and female, our world and the things that we take for granted would not be the same.


THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE SERVING AND WHO HAVE SERVED!

retraction to reply....

i was going to delete what i wrote below but then that would just be deleting a part of my life now wouldn't it. so i didnt because you cant delete any part of your life.
so heres what went down:

i thought about the whole jumping to conclusions thingy and thats why i first went to look at the comments. and then i saw jayes and i was like hmmm maybe i'm right. and then i remembered what you said last time i talked to you on aim and i was like oh....maybe it is pointed at me and decided to comment on it.

well first off like i said i'm gonna take the blame for the whole jumping thing and just let you know that i have a problem where if i feel like someones pushed my buttons i'll retort its just a defense mechanism if you will.

i didnt mean to be so mean and rude. think of it this way:

last night...or whenever it was...you hella came at me angry saying ur tired of hearing about me and my boyfriend and then today i see ur post and i my brain connects the two. ok so then i get mad because i remember how you used to tell us, even if it was unintentional at the time to tell me or w/e, about "ur him" and i decided, withouth thinking, which was stupid, that i would be mean and retort. cept i did it in the wrong way and i got super defensive. and the thing is that i was hurt that you-a person i do consider a friend, and hopefully you do as well because we do share friends and such- said that because i wanted to share, like you did, my happieness and then all of a sudden i was insulted. and esp with something so new. i was like "really?! really?! i cant even share a little bit?"

but now i see its not me it was aimed at it was ur friend and im sorry i jumped to conclusions and said all that stuff about u and "ur him" because really it was all pretty much me being mad and turning everything around because really i think its cute, u and him, and like i told you before i admire you for those 5months. cuz i dont think i would have been able to do it

and the whole photo thing. again i admire you for taking hella photos cuz then when we get older your gonna have so much more to look at and tons more memories]. plus ur not conceited.

admire isnt the right word. its more like i wish i could remember to pull out my camera and take hella pictures cuz i wish i had more. and no its not. not conceited, i mean

mk i didnt explain it correctly before but basicly when i got mad and decide to retort i started thinking of anything i could make sound insulting and mean even if it totally wasnt true cuz i guess thats just my nature sometimes. it kinda runs in the fam....dad's side. but yeah
seriously L i only do that stuff when i feel like i've been (find a word thats not as harsh as "attacked")

L: yeah. cuz you were a bitch.

yeah i was. im not afraid to fess up to that cuz if that was directed at me, yeah id be pretty damn mad. so you have every right to be mad at me


end of what went down...





anyways thats my side of the arguement because i dont think it would be right to publish her side since thats private and its her choice if she wants it to be published, not mine. i only did that one "L: yeah. cuz you were a bitch." comment cuz it was kinda necessary.


once again its like we create the problems cuz the means(this) to do it are available. even if we do choose to write what we write.
once again i'm sorry and i was wrong. completely wrong. if you think any of that remorse is bs then i'm sorry you feel that way, cuz its not.


and i'm not even gonna comment on the comment about that from the other cuz ima fogive that too even if i wasnt intentional and even if it was because (see first blog).

in response to another but mostly out of frustration with some understanding

in response to another but mostly out of frustration with some understanding...thats just not shown...but dont get me wrong...cuz its there...you just dont see it (: :

oh my my my. it seems as it she's gotten a taste of her own medsand if she doesnt remember let's just say this:"darling" you did the same to me when u first started, even if you didnt realize it cuz sometimes thats just what happens too all of us when ones mind is focused on something, so gimme a break.and if i remember correctly you did it much longer than i did since you had to wait for about emm lets see...oh yeah! 5 months.so actually on the contrary it should be you who should be getting a life. :D

and i should also like to say something really kinda mean that involves descriptions about a person who takes way too many photos of herself and its pretty darn conceited in tons of other aspects of her life but that would just be too mean because this person can also be pretty darn cool at times...im just a bit wary about how next year is gonna play out.

DzMN IT! this is the reason i hate the internet all over again.

ok i'm over it:
i told this to T yesterday. and we both agreed that whenever we're talking about something way too much its good that other ppl wave the warning flag. and that we noticed that even though sometimes we hate it when ppl do put up that flag we also love it cuz it snaps us back. so gratsai. and also, we talked about how sometimes its good to let it all out and sometimes it just needs to be delt with until the next thing comes along. and how even tho we love it sometimes we tend to not say anything to other ppl when we're tired of hearing about their problems too. yep. its a cycle and its human nature...but thats OK!

in other news: i was trying to figure out this math stuff when i realized that its interesting how when they give you a contract to look at they dont tell you how much ur being payed per kid. i mean seriously....its really confusing! O:

random comment: i really think that i need to eat something sweet cuz im hella craving it but i really dont know what it is.....hmmm

tomorrow: still trying to figure out that muni schedule thingy cuz its kinda confusing believe it or not.... my my my how the world turns....och. i'm glad i get to go to the dentista tomorrow cuz this thing hurts. oh dang...

in the math world...ahhahaha,
moka

mokaaalovesya!...

...like heck yes she does.

J has been telling me i should do this again. and like the good lil teen i am i bent under that peer pressure. so if anyone asks...its all J's fault.

so i guess i'll just write about anything huh?

I am an outspoken, loud, confident woman of the world and I intend to make a difference in this world, whether you like it or not, and I can assure you that no one and nothing can stop me.

here goes:

yesterday was pretty darn awesome since i was able to see M (yeah i know, M&M right). i think my butt is gettin bruised tho as each day passes because i seem to be falling pretty hard for him (smile if u got that one...go on, your allowed to...there ya go. see that wasn't that hard)

today hasnt been so nice though...stupid finals.
had an interesting convo with the removed T. she kept asking me all these questions about yesterday and yeah it was interesante.


shoot i really shouldnt be spending time on this since i gotta write that darn essay about the differences between that amazing confidant in my life named J. She's always got my back. (not that V, A, JM, JR, G, and K don't. and not that J is on a higher level than V cuz they're just about the same, cept for the fact that even if we fight V will always have to be there for me no matter what...)

here's the intro to that essay for now and maybe it'll explain...idk what but sure!:

When J and I met in the first grade we really didn’t talk all that much. We were pretty much in the same “clique” because our friend, A, acted as a shared best friend between us. All that changed when A decided to move to another school in the sixth grade. J and I really started talking and playing together at lunch from then on. We still hung out with our usual group but with A gone we’d begun to close the gap that A had left. We essentially became each other’s “A replacement”. In order to understand why I believe we’ve become so close, I think you need to understand why I consider her to be my best friend. J was an essential part to helping me get through the most important event in my life thus far. She was on the phone with me when my dad moved out and she listened to me cry and tried to console me as my world fell apart in front of me. Keep in mind that this was in the sixth grade. We had just hit puberty and we were each still trying to figure out ourselves. She listened to the entire story and took it all in. If my parent’s divorce was hard for me to understand, it was even harder for J to understand. I’m not sure if it was instinct but she kept things very normal for me outside of my house, where things were like hell. J became my rock after that. And she still is. As we begin to grow older and start changing more, we have developed so many differences in our personalities, lives, and interests. But still both of us manage to have a deep connection and bond that keeps us best friends.


thats all folks!


hearts forever and ever,
moka



maybe this time i'll keep this up...
