poem: "If I could.."

If I could,
I would take away your sorrow,
draining all the tears from your eyes,
all the tears you would ever cry.
I would take the pain you feel,
transfer all your heartaches to my heart,
live your cuts and bruises through my skin.
I would stop all the war that will ever happen,
revive every dead solider and innocent life,
replace bullets with peace signs and love.
I would stop you from drowning in this mess,
give you all the money you'd need in your life,
supply the most affordable gas and insurance.
I would die for you and prevent your suicide,
just to let you see that there is so much more in life,
that you can change the world with your talent and voice.
I would be your light in the darkness of this blackout,
to be your warm hug that you've never had before,
the shoulder you can always lean on no matter what.
I would be the hero of this world,
showing people that it's easier to love than hate,
destroying all the weapons of mass destruction.
If I could, I would,
just to see you happy,
to see the world happy.
If I could, I would, and I will.

Election rant..

okee.. i posted this on a bulletin on myspace as well. but here is what i feel:

i don't care if you guys hate me about who i'm voting for or why.
i have an opinion, just like you,
and i vote for my reasons and what i believe,
not because everyone else is voting for Obama.


1. everyone is saying "oh, Obama is gonna get assassinated once he's President"..
okay.. yeah, i know there are A LOT of people who are racists and don't want an African American as the next President.. but i seriously doubt he'll be assassinated.
even if McCain becomes president, what if he gets a heart attack of old age and dies? then we're stuck with fucking Palin as President.. no thank you. i mean, she's not a very good example, teenage daughter and she has her own child at 40? 45? or whatever.
i mean, any President has the possibility of being assassinated. but i really don't think it'll happen.

2. Change.. Obama is for Change, right? i don't think McCain has said anything about "change" if he wants to continue this war in Iraq.. it doesn't sound like anything will change.. Obama wants to pull the troops out of Iraq.. that's change! change in what we're facing.. we should have never gone into Iraq and started this war. change in this financial issue.. i know i don't remember every detail in their arguments or whatever.. but McCain's $5,000 medicare bullshit won't do any good.
and i know every President promises "change".. but i haven't seen or heard anything about change from McCain. you may disagree, agree, whatever.. i may be naive, i guess.. but this is what i believe.

3. THIS election is the MOST important election in the history of the United States.. whoever becomes President it will affect our lives and our future, i guarantee it.
have you heard about this financial issue?! have you seen how far the stocks are going down?
i mean, is you family being affected at all?!
i know mine is.. it's horrible.. all families are experiencing this crunch, it's everywhere you go! the malls aren't that busy and businesses aren't doing that great cuz people have no money to spend! you wanna know why? it's because the job cuts and money is low as fuck. there are so many people out of work and it's hard to even get through a month.
you know how much money this war has cost us?!
BILLIONS!! that's where the money has gone to..
the fucking war, thanks to Bush.
if McCain is elected President, it'll just continue and become TRILLIONS of dollars that we don't have.. i mean the fucking "bailout" is $700 trillion, close to what we've spent on this war. it's ridiculous.
McCain is just a mini-me of Bush and we don't need that.
i mean, McCain's "plans" or whatever are all screwed.


also, CHANGE = not continuing with ignorant Presidents and get out of this Republican state that we are in.. bring on the Democratic views and plans and what they call change.. at least we have hope in Obama, not just because he wants "CHANGE" but what he stands in and what he wants to do as President, bring it on.

i mean.. honestly, i never thought i'd be all up in arms with voting.. but seeing my family struggle and other families struggle, it brings tears to my eyes. that Bush could start something that has brought everyone, everything, the USA down into the ground.
do you remember when everyone wasn't struggling? yeah that was at least 8 years ago.
i mean, if you haven't heard about this story.. maybe you or haven't..
but a man in LA killed his family in their sleep.. his wife and kids.. one of 19 years old because he lost everything. everything he owned. the stocks he invested in. everything! it's sad that it had to come to that, but it's what families are struggling with. i mean, 19 years old killed by his or her dad.. it's like you or me dying because of the family's financial situation.. all because of Bush and this war and what he's done.. and McCain will just continue in the same path that Bush is going in. we don't need that.. we need a change in paths who is Obama.. to many of you it may be unfortunate.. but we need change in what this is costing us, as Americans, and families.

once again.. i don't care if you agree or disagree.. hate me or love me.
i am an individual, and a citizen of the United States of America,
stating what I believe, my opinion.
naive or not.. Obama '08. <3

vote Obama '08!!

hey guys! so i know many of you, for those who read my blogs, have been hearing or watching the Presidential Debates. i unfortunately missed the first one because of class, but my teacher in my Art 3 class tonight put it on through the iTunes radio so we could all hear it. and what a debate, wouldn't you say? i think McCain totally avoided the question about Russia.. i forget specifically what it was about.. but his answer was "Maybe." i'm sorry, but as a senator running to become the next President of the United States of America, you don't avoid questions.. people and voters, like many of us, want to know the specific answer, not a round about way of saying it or just avoiding the question all together. i think Obama was strong and his debate was amazing. McCain was just plain annoying.. no offense to those of you voting for him, just he sounds soo much like Bush [i know they're both from the south, but still] and he kept saying "My Friends.. Friends.." it's like we're not your friends.. you're just trying to get on people's "good sides" or whatever.. it became a bit ridiculous. and his joke about needing a new hairpiece wasn't even funny at all.. i mean, come on. another aspect or quality i don't like about McCain is that he always makes direct and irrelevant comments towards Obama. plus i really don't like that McCain always has to talk and brag about his qualities and what he's done and blah blah blah.. soo annoying. but overall, i think Obama won this one totally. and i believe he needs to become the President of the United States. if he's not.. i think the USA is doomed with McCain in power and Palin.. uugghhh i don't even like her at all. i mean, she's not really setting a good example at all.. she has a teenage daughter who is pregnant and has a down syndrome child at the age of 40? or 42? or whatever.. they're is nothing wrong with the down syndrome.. but having a child while you're in office with a daughter who is going to give birth is too much and i don't think she can handle it. sooo on that note, VOTE OBAMA BIDEN '08!!! :D WE NEED CHANGE AND HOPE!! and we need to get our troops out of this unnecessary war and help our economy and the people of the USA out of financial debt.
KEEP YOUR COINS, I WANT CHANGE!!! :D

sooo anyways, that was long haha but i have to vent and write it out somehow for people to read.. i don't care if you disagree, it's my opinion. :]
with that.. i'm done with this blog entry, i'll ttyl! byeees <3

my thoughts on the VMAs

okayy, so it wasn't how i thought it was gonna be this year..
i mean,
1- they had it in the back lots of Paramount Studios
2- the set up was hella weird and they seemed a bit unprepared
3- Russel Brand was well.. talked too fast and wasn't that funny

i thought that Britney Spears definitely deserved all 3 awards :]
but i think Katy Perry should have won Best New Artist..
i mean, Tokio Hotel is good, but not that great
and i'm so glad that Linkin Park won for Best Rock Video as well!!
:o ohh, and Slipknot was there!! which was amazing to see them hehe

uhhm, performance wise..
i thought Rihanna was amazing with Disturbia!
Pink and Christina's were alright..
Lil Wayne ft T-Pain was pretty good
along with the Kid Rock performance,
and Kayne West was amazing too, good way to end the night

haha other than that.. i think Jordan Sparks was right in saying what she said,
Russel Brand did go a bit overboard with the chastity ring thing..
i mean, if the Jonas Brothers wear them, then good for them,
i think it's the right thing to do, especially at their age,
promoting that kids/teens should wait to have sex..
and it's not just some "game" that should be played with like,
if you stayed to watch part of the after show,
Perez Hilton was talking about the issue,
and that Russel Brand in the UK is a bit of a "sex addict"..
so that just explains why he's against chastity rings and whatnot

oohh, and BIG PLUS to vote for Barak Obama,
i thought that was awesome :D haha this country needs him! :]
and i thought the diss to the Republicans and Bush was hilarious lol

OMGOSH! and FANNY PAK WON!!! i was so excited lol
i screamed hahaha :D literally haha i voted like 400+ times :]
and their performance was absolutely amazing&creative hehe
i mean, Kaba Modern was good too, just not as good

lol so yeah, those are my thoughts.. i probably left some stuff out, :D
haha what did you think of the VMAs this year?? [leave comments/commentary]
