 | This is just a copy off of a blog I posted a while ago on another blog I have on myspace... Even though it's somewhat "old news" it's still something that gets to me on occasion--even though I'm not in highschool anymore...it's just as ridiculous with adults. They should KNOW better!
So you think you're "da Pimp masta" huh?
Hey, I've been thinking about this alot lately, and I just feel I need to speak out. So you're welcome to throw this all away if you want (I mean you don't HAVE to read it), but I'm sayin it anyways. I've noticed that alot of guys nowadays like to--whether in jest or no--brag about being "The lord of the Pimps" and "Da Pimp masta", etc. I guess it makes them feel like they are "all that and a bag of chips", and that women love that kind of stuff. What a load of Bull! I watch as even --at least I thought they were--DECENT guys even do this crud! But if they really were so decent, then they would know that being --or even kiddingly being--a pimp, isn't really impressive at all. Somehow hollywood, books, music, and other influences today have made out that Pimps are the cool swingin ladiesmen that have ALOT of money--which I hate (well actually I don't really hate it) to break it to ya, but they're all wrong--Well, maybe they do have alot of money and girls, etc...but do you really know where they get it from?
For all you guys who think it's cool: Did you know pimps alot of times--if not all the time--forced (and still force) kids into prostitution? They would threaten to beat or even kill the kids if the kids didn't get the money the dirtbag pimps wanted. They would first work on the girls(and even boys in some cases) of 13 to 14 years(and sometimes even younger) of age who were family abuse victims, rape victims, homeless kids--who didn't think they were worth being alive--, and there are many more different cases, sadly. These "Pimp mastas" would sell the kids on the ideas of a "good home", love, nice clothes, big bucks, etc. These kids were (and still are) treated in horrible ways--and if you don't believe me, I dare you to go to this site, and look it up yourself (if you're brave enough): Don't forget to look up some of the kids' stories on how their lives were like. So in a nut shell guys....Grow up. One other thing that really gets me, is HOW can girls be attracted to idiots(the braggars) like this?!?! Ladies, c'mon now! Don't go and dumb yourself down just because you think the guy is hot stuff! He's really not. And guys, if you really ARE decent, then why in the heck would you even joke about something so idiotic?! It's disgusting. FYI, the people in hollywood who are promoting those movies, and the people who promote that crap called music, aren't the ones that are helping those kids (or even the adult prostitutes) who might be left in some gutter right now. They're just making the matters worse. WAY worse. And when you listen to it, watch it, and joke about it, you're making it worse too. Pretty attractive huh? Now, I'm not telling you what to believe, and I'm sure as heck not gonna tell you how to joke around, or who to supposedly "fall in love" with. That's your business. And you might read this, and think I'm cracked. That's fine too. But just know that your macho contributions are really making a difference...I just wonder if even you'd like the results. |
Ok...I confess.
The reason I haven't been on here is because.....

Do ya ever get the feeling that Time just keeps on speeding up--never stops--but continues to move forward whether you're ready or not? I get that feeling sometimes---ok, more than sometimes---and it makes me think about all the things I still want to do.
Now please don't mistake this for a pity party.....no no, it's not that. I was just thinking about all those moral stories where they always say that time is precious, and that you should take advantage of every minute that you have....
When I was younger and would hear those stories, it would seem that those lessons would go through one ear and out the other. Ironically, I would be able to quote them if I had been asked, but I wouldn't have truly grasped the notion of it. Now though, I understand exactly that all those stories had the quite loud "ring of truth".
God gives us the precious time that we have, to use it to His glory--and hopefully, to help us in our daily lives. We get SO busy with jobs, school, etc, that we forget to take a little bit of time just to talk to Him. I know that I personally struggle with that. I get so busy during the day, that by the time I go to bed, I'm so tired I may forget to even pray.
Now I know all these thoughts that I've written down are somewhat jumbled. And for that, I apologize. But hopefully the "moral" of the lesson won't be lost. To tell the truth, I think I just needed to write this down for my sake to learn a little......
But in a nut shell, take a moment in your busy day--even just a few minutes will do--to just stop, think, and talk to God. Life may not seem so hectic if you do. And I don't mean like "grace" before a meal (even though that's nice too). I mean actually have a one-on-one conversation with the "Big man upstairs".
If anyone has anything to add on that, please feel free to do so.
God bless,
Katie
prideMy mom and I have been watching Pride and Prejudice(With Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle). I love that movie! As much as I can't wait for the new Pride and Prejudice(with Keira Knightly) to come out in theaters over here, I have a hard time believing that it could possibly be as good as the BBC version. Anywho...I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Signin' off now.
Hey Everyone! 
I guess since it's been quite a while since I've really "updated" this thing, I'll just say what's been happening in my daily life of late. Hmmm.....but where to begin.....?
Well, I turned 18 Novemeber 8th, and --to be perfectly honest-- I couldn't believe that I was now considered and official "adult"! Mama mia! Kinda scary....lol.
I found another Christian college that I'm looking very seriously at. It's called Liberty University, and is in Lynchburg, VA. Yes, I'm still looking at PHC, but Liberty has got more of the major that I've been looking for (Theater), and has more to offer me right now than what PHC has at the moment. So I'm pretty excited about that!
I've got a job now. (YAY!) I'm a bagger (Bagger #74) at our "grocery store", and I've been working there for a little over a month now. I like it, the pay (which is the tips I get) isn't bad, and I'm saving it up for college. Right now, I've actually been toying with the idea of staying here one more year, in order to stay up more money for college by continuing to work. I also want to take as much advantage as I can of living overseas before I leave.
Another plan I would like to do--but this is right now only just a "maybe"--is after I graduate from college with hopefully my theater degree, I would like--no LOVE-- to go to England for acting school. That's a ways off from now however, but I'll keep ya posted!
Please excuse my grammar, because it's already 12:00 a.m. and I'm pretty tired. 
Well That's about all folks! Hope you haven't gotten TOO bored....lol! And I'll write again soon. Until then............ 
Hey! It's been quite a while hasn't it? Well right now I'm talking to two good friends of mine on IM, it's so cool! this is just a quick note, but I'll be back!
Katie
Hey, back again,
I was hoping and thinking of bringing up a prayer request for all those people who are suffering from Hurrican Katrina, and not only for those suffering, but for those who are close enough to it to be in danger. If you could please pray for them, and for the familes of all those who have been killed. Thanks.
Geeze, it's SO hard to keep up with this thing! I was looking over some of my last entries, and holy moly......they were in March! I mean, I think you actually have to be out of school, and have alot of time to really take the time to write in this thing! Well, I can say one thing, for any of you who still actually read my blog......That I probably won't be writing that much on here(Not that I did in the first place....)lol. I mean, I have SAT's this Oct I have to prepare for, I have to graduate this year....(well ok so it's not THIS year....it's 2006), I have a pretty busy schedule coming up, because Awanas is starting again. YAY!
I really want to get these things done, because I REALLY want to go to the college that I think God wants me to go to next fall! Patrick Henry College, .............is amazing! And I'll feel VERY appreciative and priveleged to go there.
So anywho, to all of you......Sorry to all those who kept up with my very strange, untitled story........I probably won't finish it ....well, maybe I will, it just won't be near as long, as I had planned it last year to be. It might have a rather abrubt ending........
Ciao ciao,
Katie
YES!!!! Our phone and internut(spelling error intended) are working again! After 5 1/2 weeks of our phone service not working( Long story, but I'll cut it short. The Italian phone company kept puttin' off coming and fixin it. Hey it's so Itailano! 
) So I'm REALLY thankful it's finally up!
That Quick update down there was goofy.
Now on something more interesting......
When I was at the bookstore the other day, I saw this book called.....There and Back Again: an Author's Tale by Sean Astin,
and I got SO excited. You can count on it, that that book will be added to my collection! It looks really good!
I am seriously jumping for joy on this one!!!!!!! I figured out this simple html thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
