[Current Event:] Occupy Oakland

 

Oakland standing up for what they believe in

Hundreds of people are camping outside of  Oakland's City Hall.  Early Saturday police order to vacate all tents and everybody be to gone. Honestly this is what you call freedom of speech. People standing up for what they believe in and not backing down cause they stand strong on what they believe in. 

Police want to stop it but if not illegal is going on , why are they trying to stop it. To me the police are over doing it. All these people arent out there to harm anyone or anything they are trying to make a statement that stuff needs to change cause clearly the way we are doing now isn't working now for us.

[Current Event:] 11 month missing-girl

11-month-old Missouri girl is missing. she was last seen with her mother the night before her father called the police saying that his daughter was missing. the mother was drunk the night her daughter went missing. i feel this is hella sad. this makes me so mad cause how are you going to have a child but not want the responsibilities. you have to sacrifice stuff when becoming a parent. you cant always drink and if you want to than you need to leave the baby where you know she will be safe. 

Her daughter is missing and maybe dead (knock on wood) and the only thing she can worry bout is going to jail. wtf that right there tells me what type of parent you are. even if someone did kidnap her daughter she still is responsible for it. you let them come into your house and easily take your daughter? i know if anyone tryed kidnapping me or  my little sisters or anyone in my site best believe we it ain't going down without a fight. drunk or not drunk. why are you drunk watching your daughter? anything could happen and she is intoxicated while watching her daughter. i don't know maybe its just me but i wouldn't drink knowing im having to watch my daughter or any little kid that cant take care of themselves. if it was that serious to drink which it never is but to her it was before she started drinking she shouldve made sure her baby was in safe place or drop her off someone where safe so she wouldnt have to worry bout her daughter.

[RE;] Why Do People Smoke?

In response to what Tehani said "Most the athletes don't smoke or do drugs because it makes them slower and messes their body up.All these rappers talk about smoking and selling drugs, do they not know teenagers look up to them?"

 i feel like people who smoke marijuana have there own personal reasons of doing. if anything smoking  marijuana isn't as bad a  crack cocaine , heroine, cigarettes , popping pills , or even drinking.  if you think about doctors wouldn't prescribe medical marijuna if it was that bad. yeah its bad but its bad to certain extent. its bad when people over do it or abuse it.

i smoke and play sports but when i commit to something i stop that bad habit.im committed to what i do so if that means me having to stop smoking for the season thats why ima do. it takes 90 days to start a bad habit and it takes 90 days to stop a bad habit. its harder said then done i know but people choose to do drugs. they know what they are doing when they do it. nobody is forcing them to smoke or do drugs.

teenagers can look up to rappers who smoke but they know right from wrong. teenagers think smoking is cool thats why most of them do it. some of them dont even like it they just doit cause there friends do it. some do  it because thats what they grew up around. i grew up around my dad doing drugs selling them and everything yeah i first i was like i aint finna smoke but when i tryed it i liked how i felt and it took the pain away. there aint no excuse for doing it  but i do and if i can go with smoking but i choose to do it.

Current Event: Berkely Bake Sale

A group of students planned a bake sale at Uc Berkeley the price of baked goods will depend on the gender and race. The prices for the baked sale was $2 for white people, $1.50 for Asian, $1 for Latinos, 75 cents for African-Americans and 25 cents for Native Americans and women of all races get a discount of 25 cents. They had this bake sale because there is a bill currently being considered by Govern Jerry Brown, which would authorize California public universities to consider race, gender, ethnicity, and national geographic origin in the admissions process. 

It shouldn’t matter what your gender, race, ethnicity, and national geographic origin is cause we are all the same no matter what. By him doing this students may feel like because they are a current race they have less of a chance getting into a university. Some people may take this very lightly but its not a joke its reality and people like me who come across racism on a daily base is tried of being desciminated against. Not only African Americans, but Mexicans,and Asians and Native Americans. People are so quick to look at us and judge us by our color and put us in a catergory.Dealing with racism is not fun.People joke about it all day and make fun of people of different race. Until you have experienced racism don't take it lightly or just push it to the side. People kill themselves over being made fun of by their skin color. People like Michael Jackson wasn't happy with his skin color cause people made fun of him and he ended up bleaching his skin. Don't judge a book by its cover.

Spoiled Ass Kids

The other day i was walking by the elementary and i saw a little kid with a iphone. I thought to myself what is the world coming to now in days. I understand parents need to get a hold of their kids but do they really need iphone? I say the little girl was about 8 to 10.When i was a little kid  we played with board games hide and hop scotch and seek with the kids on our block. I have a big family so there was always alot of kids to play with  play with.Its fun to hangout and play with kids your age cause you guys have so much in common. You meet kids at a young age and sometimes end up growing up together.

I feel like kids now in days get taken away from this cause of  all of the techonolgy. They rather go get on the computer or watch tv instead going outside and playing with kids there age. You cant blame the kid all the way cause their parents are responsible for them. Yes now in days you here about kids being kidnapped and molested. But if you are outside with the kids watching them. You are able to protect them from that happening. I enjoyed my kid years and didnt really worry about watching tv. I always wanted to go outside. Like every other person, I miss being a kid when these were the only games we had to worry about.

BC: when the lights go out.

        One night I was getting ready to go out and I'm almost done getting ready. All of sudden the lights go out as I'm trying to put my earrings in. I stop and think to myself  "where is my phone?" if I find my phone I can find the earring and the back. I'm lightweight scared heart racing and feels the nervousness creeping up my back. So I start waving my hand around to trying to find my bad or my lamp or dresser.  

  

         I start getting irritated cause I want to find my phone so I can find some damn light. As I'm standing in the room thinking where is my earring I hear something fall downstairs. I'm scared at this point not knowing what to think is someone trying to play a joke or is someone trying to break in and turned off the power off on purpose. So I'm trying to find my phone so I can find my earring and find my way out the room. I cant really get to nothing cause my room is hella messy and clothes are everywhere. So there is a chance my phone is under some clothes or something. I get the goose bumps cause I hear my phone vibrating but I can’t see the light. I find my way to my bed and I'm trying to find my phone, pulling off the covers and add more shit to the messy ass floor.

       I sitting against the wall on bed thinking "what should I do?" I keep hearing my phone vibrating. I'm sitting in the silence scared. All of sudden we have an earthquake and everything in the house is moving and shaking. Pictures falling off the wall and glasses breaking and the house sounding like its finna come down on me. I start crying cause right now I feel like I have the worse luck in the world. After the earthquake hit I get up from my bed.

         Now I'm on a mission to find my phone so I can get out of the house. I keep hearing it vibrating people are trying to get a hold of me. I get off my bed and I start crawling on the floor trying to find something with a light at this point no caring what the fuck I find. My hand rubbing against the carpet feels like im petting a sheep. I come across the house phone try to use it but it’s died. My luck is just getting worse and worse. Some how I find my way to my door so imp thinking to myself " im by the door, think where is your phone which way? " so I start feeling to my left again. im back at my dresser and all of sudden my alarm clock goes off. I’m terrified and just wanna find my way out. So I get back on bed and start throwing some more pillows off and all of sudden I find my phone on the charger under my bed.

        I walk downstairs, holding on the rail with a tight grip. Going down each step with one hand on the rail and one has my phone in it using it for light. Finally I reach the bottom of the stairs and my back door is open. Which I know for a fact was closed and locked up. So I run out the house tryna call the police and all of sudden all my family and friends are standing outside laughing at me cause they played a prank. It just so happened that there was an earthquake on the same day. I pissed my pants damn near.

Re:Equality Still Matters.

 I was reading Vicky's Blog and i wanted to added to it:

"I personally hate it when people think I'm smart because I'm Asian. White people hate it when people assume that they're snobby, rich, and stuck-up. African  Americans hate it when people think they're only from the ghetto, and have no future ahead of them. And Iranian, Afghanistan, and more hate it when people only think they're terrorists. We all need to just take off these labels, and understand that we are all the same, and need to accept that. Fuck labels."

I agree with what Vicky's blog. I hate when people stereotype cause they are judging at book by its cover. I feel like if you don't know somebody and who they are than why are judging them. You only know them from what they look like not how smart they are or because of their race. I’m mix, I’m White, Black, Mexican, and Indian. So for people to judge me is dumb as fuck. People think I’m ghetto, less than and wont have a good education cause of my skin color. To me I don’t care people have to say bout me and mines cause I know that I’m make one way or another. 

People can judge all day but for me its stupid cause judging somebody off of what they. And how do you think that makes you look when you are judging someone. It doesn’t make you look any better. To me it actually makes you look like trash cause who are you to be judging someone by what they look like or their skin color. I hate people who are racist cause Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t take his life for everyone else to be happy and not have to deal with racism and for people to still be discriminating. 

10th Anniversary Of 9/11

    Ever since nine - eleven the world has changed and it wasn’t a very good change , but there is only so much someone can do right? President was warned a mouth before nine - eleven even happened that there was a terrorist that was going to come crashing plans into the World Trade Center. At least two to three plans crashed into the World Trade Center. So many things have been discovered since nine-eleven, so many secrets were hidden from us Americans. Nine – elven just proves that the president we elected than ( Ex-President George Bush ) needed to be question like Barack Obama was.  

   America thought nobody would ever bomb than so they didn’t have a back up plan if someone did. The vice president security guard that worked in the World Trade Center had pushed his company to make drills and be somewhat prepared if something was to ever happen. People took him as joke at first but than when it started showing on the news and word got out the company actually started to planning for the “what if’s?” Rick Rescorla the man who predicted nine – eleven was determined that he was going to save everyone who is the towers. He ended taking his life for other people. He save over 2,700 lives on nine – eleven. After everyone was out of  tower one he was determined to go to tower two he didn’t make it. 500,000 tons of steel and concrete feel on top of Rick Rescorla. He was willing to take his life to save other people  and make sure they were okay before himself.

Somethings About Me (:

Hi, my name is Aja Westbrooks. Yes Aja like the content Asia just spelled a different way I just turned 16 on August 27. I have three brothers two older and one little brother. I have four sisters one older and three little sisters. I am auntie of my four-month-old niece. And of course my lovely mommy she is the bomb.com she is a single mother of seven of my siblings. 

 I’m new town I came from Sacramento or Elk Grove whichever they all the same too me. I went from knowing everyone and doing everything to knowing no one and doing nothing but babysitting.  The schools are different out in Alameda from in Elk Grove. We never allowed to go off campus for lunch not unless we were seniors which isn’t me I have one more year. Some of you are wondering like wait?! She isn’t a sophomore? Nope, I’m not a sophomore I’m a junior and at my old school I didn’t really take school work important and failed one term of English 10 or as they call it out here English 3. Now I’m having to retake it. One pointer I can give to you guys speaking from experience is always always take school important cause if not you may end up not graduation or being able to participate in sports or anything fun. I know I sound corny as heck but I’m just speaking from experience, now I’m paying for what I lacked I’m taking two English’s and its not fun sometimes I get confused. Lol .

 Enough of the bs , I’m a exciting person , never one to judge someone off the way they look or what somebody else said.  I love meeting new people, ask anyone who knows me ill talk to stranger, that’s the just the person I am. I not afraid to be me. There aint no shame in my game. You can come to me to talk about anything and trust me I wont say a word. I am a very loyal person. Drama isn’t my thing as they would say been there done that, its just not me and its not a fun situation to be in.  I’ve been in situations I’m not proud of and I learn from my mistakes. It’s all apart life, aint no one perfect.

I love dancing that’s what I am passionate bout. I’ve been on the dance team for a couple of years but you cant be on the dance if you don’t have grades or constantly getting in trouble. I love music, music is my life I’m always listening to my I-Pod cause I’m into music that’s my addiction along with dancing and cooking. I listen to hip-hop, R&B, old schools overall I would say my I-Pod SLAPS. Man I can slap some Wacka Flocka Flames that’s my man, he is so sexy mmmhmmm. Hahahah . I love getting my nails done I’m into make-up and shopping.  I’m adjusting to this dumb move so far its not as bad, just miss all my friends out there but im going be Gucci (good) cause I’m certified gangster.
