The Perfect Best Friend ...

  I have always been looking for the perfect best friend and i found her last year. She completely changed my life , in only 4 years and she continues to do so. If I hadn't met her i don't think i would be the person i am now. In my opinion the qualities in a perfect best friend would have to be : a person whose always there for you , a person who tells you the straight up truth , and somebody who will always talk you through your problems .

  A Person Whose there for you :   If thhe person you are calling your best friend is some one who nerve answers the phone for you and has very little interests in what your trying to tell them well that's not your best friend. I find that if they are always there then they will always be there and that is a true quality in the perfect best friend The person who always tells you right from wrong and will answer the phone at 3 a.m. that's the one whose the keeper.


  A Person Who Tells You the Straight Up Truth : If they lie to make you happy well they can't be trusted. If they tell you the truth well then you can completely trust them. Even if the truth hurts its still the truth. I would rather have honesty over lies. If the situation is candy coated drop then that's a sign to drop that friendship like a hat. It seems the most logical in terms of trust.

  Somebody Will Always Talk You Through Your Problems : If your best friend always cares and listens to you problems well then they should stay. If they only expect you to listen to there problems and nothing else  they aren't good for any type of relationship. I find they should help you through your good and bad times. But you also have to help them in return... because then you wouldn't be the perfect best friend.

The Perfect Do Nothing Day

It's just time after time in this fast paced world when you just need to slow down and relax. All of us need a perfect do nothing day so I want to show you how to enjoy it so you will be in peace at mind.

Sleep In

You do not have to wake up just lay there and sleep in all day. Just dream or refresh your self even all day. You can even go into a coma to keep yourself asleep. If you do wake up just go back to bed or wake up and go relax.

Take Morning Routine 

Start your day as in cooking breakfast and brush your teeth in your comfortable soft pajamas. Start to watch TV and lay on your bed and leave the phone alone and stay alone just relax when you can.

Pick a Location

Choose a place to spend your time like a coffee shop, home, or even a park. This is the most important part because you need to avoid noise and possible confrontation with others you don't want anything to ruin your relaxation.

Television and Home

If you stay home just put on a show,movie, or even play a video game. Even play a game of solitaire to enjoy the time.Relax on your couch or your bed. Grab some popcorn with your cat on your head. Relax whenever you can.

Coffee Shop 

You can do an Englishanswerman and grab a hot cup of coffee with a nice snack. Then open up your laptop watching Netflix looking like your doing something important.

Outside

At the park with your blanket watching a soccer practice enjoying the clouds atop of a hill. With a beautiful view and lay there till that magical sun sets.

The Final Hours

The end of your day is here now for the last of the day get the warm bathtub ready get you favorite book then play you music then relax. After you order a pizza since you do not want to cook then relax on the couch watching TV and fall asleep.

Hope you enjoy the relax time.

The Perfect Song :)

Photo by:Ferrari+caballos+fuerza=cebero Humano

Music is my life, if I has to choose a favorite song I definitely wouldn't be able to. There are so many songs that I love and have memorized every part down to the breaths that the singer takes in between words. Once I get home my Ipod is in hand and I'm already hitting the Pandora app(yes I use Pandora because I don't have enough money to buy all of the songs I want). Although I do like TONS of songs in a WIDE variety, there are certain qualities that can make a song perfect.

         SINGER
Of course the singer has to good because if you have a horrible singer sing an amazing song it won't even matter because nobody will even pay attention to the song, they'll be focusing on how bad the singer sounds. These are some of my favorite singers with awesome voices that I recommend: Christofer Drew Ingle with NeverShoutNever, Christina Perri, John Vesely of Secondhand Serenade, and Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine, just to name a few.
         CHORUS
If anything the chorus has to be good because it's repeated throughout the song.Chorus is the part of the song usually repeated after each verse.It should have a catchy tune, meaningful, fun, or even witty words. Either way the chorus is probably the most important part of the song because people usually remember the chorus more than any other part of the song. Some songs with that have some pretty creative and cool choruses are: I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie, Love Drunk by Boys Like Girls, Kiss with a Fist by Florence + The Machine, and Viva La Vida by Coldplay.
           LYRICS
If anything makes a song for me it's the meaningful or clever lyrics. Lyrics, the words to the song, can make or break a song. If the lyrics don't make sense or sound weird together then people probably won't like the song. My favorite songs because of the lyrics are: Yellow by Coldplay, Bluebird by Christina Perri, 1,2,3,4 by Plain White T's, and I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic at the Disco.
*WARNING: songs recommended may contain some cuss words*

THE GRIMM LEGACY

   My favorite book is The Grimm Legacy, even though I am not completely finished, I love this book if it gets any better then it would be my top favorite book, which is currently The Hunger Games! I like this book so much because there is hidden love, adventure, and some sarcasm.

They have a pretty weird but cool plot it would totally fit me there. It has a great story line and goes on and on about these really cool objects, I would tell you what they were but that would be major spoiler alert. One thing I really love about this book is that you get a little surprise, spoiler alert, and you find out that her best friends are stealing these objects. But then you find out that they put them back when they are done using them.

Another thing I love is that the characters have great personality. They have a lot of description to them to.


personalities of my favorite characters:
sassy
sarcastic
over achievers
mysterious

That is just a few hurry up and order a copy!!!!

Doing The Right Thing

I stand up for doing what’s right. I believe that when the chance comes people should do the right thing. For instance if your at a restaurant and you notice that the people a few tables down have left, and the mother forgets her purse. So in this case the right thing to do would be to return her purse to her, or let an employee of the restaurant know. Then the lady would be so grateful and you would get many thanks.

It's good to stand up for what you believe in. Doing what’s right brings out the best in you. You always feel great after you do the right thing. Doing the right thing will lead to being honest and other phenomenal quality traits. Always stand up for what you believe in, no matter what.

Perfect Book

The perfect book, in my opinion, is one with something for everyone and includes things that people can relate to. The book also needs a clever plot, some adventure, humor, and maybe a little bit of romance. When someone defines a good book that they read, they usually make comments on the characters in the story. Another important element in a perfect book is characters that have personality.

The plot of a book is most important thing because it makes up the main point of the story. In a perfect book the plot should have clever surprises and secret informnation hidden throughout ther whole book.

When I read a book, I like surprises that just pop out at me, things I wouldn't expect to happen. Like in the book the City of Bones when the two main characters fall in love, then they turn out to be brother and sister!(later they find out they aren't) Surprises are great factors in a book because they grab your attention and adds to the main plot of the whole book.

Every good book needs these three elements: adventure, humor, and romance. For the adventure, the book should have some form of a goal and a quest that the main characters  must complete in order to defeat the enemy or reach a certain goal. Humor is always something that everyone likes. Funny occurences or comments in the the book always makes the book more enjoyable for the reader. Romances is mot something that is required, but some people do like it.

Characters are always important in a book because they demonstrate the story. They add the personality and humor to the book. The characters make the book intersting.

There is nothing I like more than a good book. The perfect book for someone deopends on the person and what they like. Good authors always include something for everyone to satistfy everyone's taste. That is my idea of the perfect book for everyone.photo by: Denise//'s photo streamhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/deenib1972/3157221400/

How Should the Perfect Pizza be?

Ever since I was a little child I have always enjoyed eating pizza (pepperoni of course).

If you have never eaten pizza, let me tell you how the perfect pizza should be because not every pizza store is going to make a pizza you will necessarily enjoy.Follow the following information to tell if the pizza you are eating is close enough to perfect.

Photo By:squidpants

Ingredients

First of all the ingredients should be FRESH and I am talking about right out of the field where they are grown or raised(pepperoni) and into the kitchen.The ingredients should definitely not be frozen then warmed when ready to make a pizza,this can ruin the quality of your delicious pizza.Your tomatoes should be ripe,your flour should be soft and squishy,and the cheese should be yellow.

Quality

The following is my own experience of a pizza that turned out to be a fiasco and the COMPLETE opposite of what your pizza should be like when you bite into it.

One time me and my mom drove to a local pizza store and ordered a regular medium pepperoni pizza,got it,and drove to my house.After I arrived home I opened the box,took a slice of the pizza out and bit into it,but sadly I spit it out immediately onto my kitchen floor. It was the most disgusting pizza I had EVER eaten in my whole life.First of all the cheese slid off when I picked up my first slice so the pizza was practically naked.Second,even though the box was hot when I arrived at my house the pizza was as cold as ice.Third of all, the bread was a rock,I couldn't even bite into it the right way.

To this day I still regret taking a bite out if that pizza.

Dark Secrets 1

Photo by:practicalowl

I really enjoyed Elizabeth Chandler's first novel in the series. The book, Dark Secrets 1, is of composed two novellas: Legacy of Lies and Don't Tell. In each of the the novellas a young woman is faced with a paranormal twist on a family mystery in the little town of Wisteria, along with a little romance along the way.

In Legacy of Lies, Megan is invited to Wisteria by her grandmother, which is quite strange because she disowned her own daughter because she was adopted and now, out of the blue, she wants to make contact with her granddaughter. The story line of Legacy of Lies was well written and intriguing, although I felt the ending was a little bit rushed, and I found it kind of weird that Megan's love interest was technically her cousin, but again they weren't really related because Megan's mother was adopted.

In Don't Tell, Lauren returns to Wisteria seven years after her mother's accidental drowning death. She comes back to Wisteria to be welcomed by her Aunt Jule and Jule's two daughters, Nora and Holly. Lauren also reconnects with an old childhood friend, Nick. After a few days staying at the house Lauren notices strange behavior from Nora and the refusal of professional help for her; she begins to question if the death of her mother was truly accidental. This story was excellent and I found myself staying up late just to finish it, but again just as in Legacy of Lies the ending felt rushed, and I had to read it over to keep up with what was happening.

Dark Secrets 1 was still a good book and it had the perfect balance of danger, mystery, and romance to keep  you wanting more. The book was well written and I definitely recommend it.

 I believe in Bulls on parade. My favorite hard core rock music to listen to and really hear the whole stick it to the man type of thing would have to be Rage Against The Machine.

  You totally see it in the name,but the music shows us how hardships and everything else can't get us down like that to me at least. In many ways they changed my life and they helped me through some rough stuff. I have always had a sort of positive outlook on life, but with my personal life it was pretty difficult but it all gets better and  things did.

They are amazing and they speak the truth and it makes life seem easier and if they can go through all the same things we do then it makes me feel as if it the only difference is their fame. and even then the singers like that are totally not all superficial and they care. So check them out when you get a chance!!

BASS LAKE

One place I know the best is Bass Lake. I go there once a year every summer. It is awesome!!!

This lake is very beautiful. There is many beautiful pine trees (my favorite) they make the best smell. If you look just past all the trees you see camp grounds with lots of space. On your camp ground the animals practically walk right up to you. The lake has a few areas where there is sand just like the beach just much much quieter. The people there are usually nice enough to stop and say hi.

There is many nice people and nice things to do. One thing I like to do it go down the rode and pick berries from the vine there are lots of them and nobody cares if you pick them and eat them. For me I am a huge swimmer so I like to go down to those small personal little beaches because it is so quiet. You can just relax and when you are swimming there is no one in your way. One other thing I like to do when I am there is to go fishing specially at night because it is so quiet that you always at least hook one of them. Just don't ever go with my cousin she is the loudest girl on earth! Bass Lake is a very nice place.

Even though there is many pros there are a few cons. At night the people that own the camp ground ask you to lock every thing up because there are bears. Half the time the bears are down by the berries at night. There is also this girls camp that it across the lake every year that are very loud. At night is when they are the loudest because they all sing camp songs before bed. They also get up at six o'clock I found that out the hard way when there alarm went off so early. On the bright side I got to get up and just wonder around when it was nice and quiet and no one was awake. one other thing I didn't really like is that it is in northern California so it takes for ever to get there and back.

 Overall Bass Lake is a pretty great place!!!!!

Mision Inn Review

Photo credit to : John LeClair

Many people might think that the Mission Inn is an actual mission but in fact it just a normal hotel. Well, not normal: it has  an amazing history that definitely shows.  I was there with my family and we were decorating for my great grandmothers funeral reception we had it at at one of their many suites which was awesome given the circumstance. I even got to take a tour of the whole inn  which even greater. 

   As i said before it is not a mission.They basically tell you the history of the hotel itself. I found out it was built by Christopher Columbus Miller a civil  engineer in 1876. Later on in 1902 his son Frank Miller ended up changing the name of the building to The Mission Inn. They take you all over the place and give the background of the parrots that are there. 

   As i said before it is not a mission. They basically tell you the history of the hotel itself. I found out it was built by Christopher Columbus Miller a civil  engineer in 1876. Later on in 1902 his son Frank Miller ended up changing the name of the building to The Mission Inn. They take you all over the place and give the background of the parrots. Frank  Miller loved his parrots so he made a special  cage for them and its right by the front entrance. They sit there to greet you and it makes the stay even better.

   

  The only 2 bad things that I saw were that the food served for banquettes was sort of bland and being there for the funeral other than that it was pretty amazing. I thought tat it was huge and very classic. When you are there you just have the feeling of astonishment and it kind of takes your breath away. It was completely beautiful and all of the scenery was great. So if you ever get a chance to visit please take the chance to see the beauty that is the Mission Inn.

 

Kingdom Hearts (review)

Kingdom Hearts is an amazing game but that is from my perspective. Yes I am a gamer but I lately I have been a lousy gamer; since I have not been going through games as fast as I normally do. It might make you think that since I’m lousy then I don’t know what a good game includes. But not playing makes me think why don’t I want to play why I do want to play and I go through the whole game. My experience with this game was my moms friend had it and she saw that I loved the game so she let me keep the funny thing was the sequel came out about a few months later.

Description

Well enough of my experience it is now time for the game info!The game is about 3 kids named Sora, Riku, and Kairy on an island wanting to leave. They said Kairy came from the unknown one day which make them want to explore new worlds (apparently it seems to the the world is flat) by building a raft. But you start in a place called the station of awakening which is a tutorial area playing a Sora.

After a while you find out it was just a dream waken up by Kairy ready to continue the raft and ask you to collect pieces. After exploring the scenic island and collecting parts for the raft you return to Kairy with every thing she gives you an item (not important) and you can end the day. As you sleep you take a look on a different world Disney Castle where you find out there king is missing and that stars have been disappearing from the sky and not just the burning balls of fire we know those stars are actually worlds being swallowed up by the heartless dark creatures created by the darkness in peoples hearts.

So King Mickey sends his captain of the royal knights Goofy and master of magic Donald to find the wielder of a magic key. Back at Destiny Islands Sora has to gather food for their trip the next day. But while he is gathering food in a secret cave that as a door that can't be opened a mysterious man appeared saying all worlds belong to the darkness also that the island world is soon. You have to figure out what happens by buying the game.

Game play

• The game you fight with a set of options:attack,magic,items,and a special button
• Attack is just striking with your weapons
• magic is using magic that you unlock throughout the story
• magic has the option of summon which you summon a character to assist you
• summon has it's own story if a world is taken by the darkness someone with a strong heart is turned into a stone that's power can be used if needed
• Items is using an item that you equipped
• The special button is used with from opening chest to special attacks
  

Pros

• Good story line
• Creative ideas
• Shows good emotions
• So many secrets

Cons

• Too long intro
• Sometimes confusing

Final Review

Even though the intro is long it throws feeling in the story makes it come alive. Also confusion gives the game a challenge.Over all I give it 4 1/2/5 keyblades!!

Review for a Music Store

There are Sam Ash music stores out there, but the one I am am reviewing is here. This Sam Ash has many good things about, but it also has bad things I want to talk about.I am also including the times I have visited there and what I think of it.

Note:The picture to the left is just an example of what an average Sam Ash store might look like.Some are bigger and include more than just guitars,basses,and accessories.

The Good

• First of all I like their synthesizer/piano/keyboard section that they have.They include many products in the area for your specific needs and interests and they even let you play some of the instruments they have there.
• Secondly,their guitar section is HUGE and they have every kind of guitar you want from electric to acoustic to custom made you should be able to find what you are looking for easily.
• Lastly,the people that work there are helpful(well at least some of them) and friendly;they will show you how to find things if you are lost. When you are going to buy something for the first time they will recommend good brands you can trust and prices within your range.

The Bad

• The first thing I dislike about the store is their electric bass selection. They have some basses you might like,but for the most part there is not much to look at while you are there.
• I also did not like their prices that they have.Sometimes they will have specials going on but they are never big,and they only do them on things that cost a lot that only some people can afford.

My Visits at Sam Ash

For the most part my visits to Sam Ash have been good (I would give it 3 out of 5 stars).I really enjoy going there because there was many things to look at and play.There is also this nice guy who works at the DJ and keyboard sections and he has helped me a lot when I visit.Every time I go there I find exactly what I need for myself even if I have to pay a little more than what I think I should be paying.It is a good place to go and just hang out by grabbing and instrument like a guitar and just plugging it in and play for as long as you want (well until the store closes).Even though I like it there I wish they could have more basses and saxophones there.Sam Ash is a good music store and I recommend it for many people (It just depends if the one around you is as nice as the one I go to).

Review for The Mortal Instruments

 I spent at least 3 hours straight reading one of the 4 books in the Mortal Instruments series. The books were so interesting that I read them all in a week! The books are about a girl named Clary who discovers that there is a magical, invisible world hidden all around the world that we know. Vampires, werewolves, fearies, warlocks, and demons are all magical beings that live in the same world we do. But sometimes they cause trouble in our world and thats where the shadowhunters come in. Shadowhunters kill demons and keep peace between the other mythical beings.

  In the books, one shadowhunter, particularly Clary's father she never knew, plans to rid the world of all mythical beings or downworlders. But later he decides to that he wants to get rid of the shadowhunters so he can take over to mythical world. To do this he must collect all 3 mortal instruments and perform a ritual. Clary and her shadowhunter friends must stop him before he gets all the instruments.

  In the books, the author Cassandra Clare invents this extraordinary world with shocking surprises at every turn that will keep your interest  even after you finish the book. Even though some of the things in the book are disturbing like gay relationships, demons, and sexual references, over all the book is an amazing thriller adventure story. Perfectly plotted and full of action, I think the author is a genius who includes something for everyone in her books. This book series is one that I highly recommend for teens and adults. When you read the books you will not be disappointed.

 The books where so good that I took them everywhere and read them all day. These books are like the best books I ever read because I like adventure and mystery.

  Cassandra Clare has not yet completed her series, so you might have to wait for the 5th book but I think the wait will be worth it. Her website is under maintenance right now so if your interested in the books there is always the book store. photo by:bitmask

The Power of Music

Photo by: Luiz Fernando / Sonia Mari

Music is such a powerful art. It is so powerful, Bob Marley believed he "could cure racism and hate, literally cure it by injecting music and love into people's lives."

Bob Marley was so involved in his music, the day he was supposed to perform at a concert he was shot, two days later he walked out on stage and sang. Somebody asked him, why he would you perform so early after being shot, he responded famously by saying, "The people who are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I? Light up the darkness."

He was a true legend his  the 20th century, his music will forever be remembered. He was an amazing artist  and wanted everyone to live in peace and happiness. He lived so he could "light up the darkness."

A World of Advancement

Photo by:IronRodArt - Royce Bair (NightScapes on Thursdays)

I believe in a world of advancement and the sense of creation to make the world full of technology and exploration as in space.I believe in a world that will work together for one community.I believe in a bright future for all to live in and all to be accepted. No putting people behind just because of differences. No leaders no rulers no kings or queens just people who take on the world. Ideas are accepted. A world where anyone can do anything.

These things are what I am willing to put forward to. To bring hope to others to anyone who needs it to sew this world together and help it move forward. Once the world is united we can truly reach for the stars. I want to create a future that has sprung many ideas to life. Everyone can contribute to a world of change. Through mother nature, communities, families and even jobs.

RISE AND SHINE FORTH!!!!!!!!!

           Every person has a reason that they are here so we should all be able to rise and shine forth. Some people believe we have no right to be able to go for our dreams to follow them to fulfill our dreams.
          
           That is why we should follow our dreams stand for your rights and follow your dreams become who you want to be. Stand for your rights and do what you believe in!!!!!!!! Be the one who is the leader and be thew example to others to follow your dreams.

                                                                      BY; Kevin Dooley

Responsibility is what I believe in!

      I believe that the most important charateristics in a person is responsibility. If everyone was responsible we might live in a perfect world.

      Responsiblity is always important especially when you have a job. When you don't take responsibility for your work at a job you'll probably end up losing the job or maybe hurt someone else. For example, a doctor is responsible for the health and lives of other people. If their not responsible enough to do their work the right way, the patiant might suffer. The medical profession is a career that requires responsiblity for other people. Its so important to be responsible because others are counting on you to do your best no matter what you do.

World Peace?

World peace is the belief that the whole world will go into a state of non-violence and no aggression.World peace also includes freedom and happiness.

World peace is something that I believe will happen someday.World peace may not last a long time due to disagreements,but I hope people enjoy it when it is here.I hope people overcome their disagreements and differences and learn how to cooperate.Hopefully we can become friends and work together instead of fighting for once.Although world peace may include some sacrifices to reach it I hope it does not have to be that way.
