*dIVa*
Beyonce is doing her "thang." She is taking over the world with her voice. She dropped Destiny Child and began her own singing career. That's how it tends to play out; groups break up and one of the members go on to start their own career. This is the theme song for all woman in the world. We are divas and the boys know it so say it "I'm a Diva." I love singing this song it's one of the songs that I know the words to. If you are one of my good friends you would know that I don't know the words to a lot of songs. So its a miracle I know this one. Lamo!
The song Diva is good but the video sucks. I was looking for a bang. The video for her song Single Ladies was good so I was expecting to be amazed at her Diva video.I wanted to see some bang out dance moves like the ones she did in Deja Vu. Now you can't tell me those weren't good because I know you can't do them. I know I can't I can't even bend my back back like she didi in the video.
HOUSE
What can I say? It's the most craziest show in the world. It is a show about how a doctor takes on cases with people who have infections or diseases that can't be detected easily. It will have your heart racing because the patients look as if they are going to die but the majority are saved. This doctor is rude and sarcastic but he is one of the best doctors around the world. The senarios in the show is nothing you would ever expected. How do producers make this stuff up? It would take me 20 years to come up with stuff like that.
On one episode the doctor tells one of the co-workers that he's leaving the hospital until he decides to stay at the hospital. I know I know that doesn't sound so bad but he had a patient that was sick. If this was in real life his ass would not leave the hospital espeacially if I was the one that was sick. He would be at the hospital 39/11 until he fixed me. His home would be the hospital. If you having seen this show you have to see it. You should just go buy the seasons and once your done watching it you should give them to me so I can watch them.

Skin
The epidermal layer of the skin is made up of 4-5 layers. Ascending upward to the surface they are: Stratum Basale, Stratum Spinosum, Stratum Granulosum, (Stratum Lucidum), and Stratum. The epidermal cells are born in the stratum basale and they move all the way up to the surface we see, the stratum corneum. They flatten and make up 20-30 layers. The stratum corneum provides a durable overcoat for the body, protecting deeper cells from the hostile external environment from water loss, and rendering the body relatively insensitive to biological, chemical, and physical assaults. As the cells move to the surface (from the push and shove of the new cells generating), they flatten AND die. Another thought: Cells and tissues all begin from within. The stratum basale is the site of regeneration and as it moves out, cells die.
So the skin that we first see, and a lot of times judge people, by is DEAD SKIN CELLS. It amazes me how the basis of what we judge others on is based on something that is dead. As humans, this is silly of us to do, but it happens to everyone, all the time. We judge people's beauty, or lack thereof, based on this outer skin layer made up of dead skin cells. This shouldn't be the case. Also, it's interesting how the body is made: from the inside out. So, this just really goes along with the saying, "Beauty lies within."

90210
This past week's episode of 90210 was interesting. Ethan was driving, while talking on the phone, and got in a car accident. Although he wasn;t severely injured, he hit another car which left the girl in the hospital with a punctured lung. It was completely his fault, so of course he felt completely guilty of his carelessness. Because of this, he goes above and beyond to apologize to her and look after her while she is in the hospital. When he first goes to see her, he does not know this girl; but come to find out, this girl not only goes to the same school as him, but is also in one of his classes! Is it shady that he is only NOW showing interest in her because he almost killed her? Why hasn't he ever paid any attention to her prior to the accident happening?
This just shows how much people can get so wrapped up in their close circle of friends and not widen out to meet new people. It's a shame that it took an accident for him to realize this, but at least he now sees that he should take interest in everybody, not just the same people he's always assoctiated with. I think college is the perfect time to take advantage of widening out. Meeting new people plays such a big role in your life and contributes to the person that you become. Instead of being like Ethan and wait till something tragic happens, we need to meet new people now.

Hello Eternal.
Hello Eternal is a new, upcoming, local band from Harker Heights, TX. Band members include: Tyler Hoxworth, Keith Tackett, Sam Billow, David Koloroutis, and Corbett Hoxworth. Although they are fairly new, they have already gotten in some recording time in Austin and have two upcoming shows. All of these boys are very well musically-inclined. David, I know, has been in previous bands before getting involved with this current group and I have enjoyed listening to all of their music. This particular band is considered to be hard-rock, but David has been known to hold a few solo acoustic shows as well.
The two shows that they have coming up are February 21, 2009 and February 28, 2009. The one held on the twenty-first is going to be at The Palladium Ballroom in Dallas, TX and then the on that is going to be on the twenty-eighth will be at The Music Vault in Harker Heights, TX. Tickets can be bought now for eight dollars, or bought at the door for ten dollars. Even though there are no upcoming acoustic shows mentioned, they are usually promoted by word of mouth and performed at Java Jo's in Killeen, TX. These boys are extremely talented.

"The Sculptor's Funeral"
"The Sculptor's Funeral" is a short story by Willa Cather. It is literally about a sculptor, Harvey Merrick, who has died. The story takes place back in his hometown where the townspeople are awaiting the arrival of his body. During this wait, the townspeople talk negatively about Harvey. They don't praise his accomplishments and honor his life; instead, they speak harshly of his leaving town and in a sense, make fun of his life. Even his family share this same mentality. His sister acts very nonchalant and his mother is more enraged of how he is returning town, not sad that she just lost a son.
The attitude of the town says much about the people who make it up. Their society is so fixated to such a confined idea, that the thought of someone from their town leaving and making a better life for themselves is crazy. Because Harvey got the courage to leave and become an amazing sculptor, makes him a target for the townspeople to talk down on. In all actuality, they envy him. Although his life ended in a literal death, the townspeople killed him figuratively long before that tragedy. It's a shame when this happens, because people in the world today are also guilty of doing such a thing.

Pennsylvania
My best friend moved to Pennsylvania this past summer. Even though she is a Texas girl, she seems to like Pennsylvania pretty much. She tells me about the stores there, the roads, the city life, the people, the weather, everything. They don't have H-E-B, Jack in the Box, or Sonic. But they have different places like Acme, Giant, and Cheeseburger in Paradise. The roads there are mostly one-lane roads and very windy. Also, they get a lot of snow there than Texas gets. Winter lasts longer there too.
Hearing all these things makes me interested in not only Pennsylvania, but also many other places in the world. Just in the United States, so much can be different between states. Just think about the rest of the world! That is why this summer, I plan to take a trip up there and visit my best friend. It'll be fun experiencing a new place and seeing the lifestyle of the northeast. I'm glad I'm going during the summer because I don't think I could handle the extremely cold winter up there.
