OK! So, I've been waiting for this for like forever. Like every since we were assigned these blogs. I thought we were just gone do whatever not assignments, but its fine, its waaaay more exciting than any essay any day!

So at first my blog was gonna be about shoes and all there glory!! Because I guess you can say I'm a shoe fanatic?? But yeah!... Until!!! I saw this horrible video of a giant spider in a couple's bathroom shower!!!

My Reaction to this Video!!!

Arghhhh!!!! I hate spiders! Eww! Eww! Ewwwwww!!!! Aghhh!!! They give me the "willies" just thinking about them. Aggghhhh!!!! OmG!!! its huge!!! Omg , if I had to ever encounter something like that i would just die!!! I mean that spider is effin BIG!!! HUGE!!! and she said her husband found it while he was in the shower!!!! WHAAATT?!?! I would have died even though, he was a guy!!

And they had to get it out by themselves??! Oh. NO!!! Never In A MILIION BAJILLION KAZILLION TRIMILLENIUM could you get me to remove a spider that big!!! Never! Never Never!!!Eww!!! Something that big would call for extra drastic matters!!! I would have called everybody and they MOMMA! Animal Control, The Police, National Guard, The Army, The Navy, The President, The Senate, The Community, Everybody!!!! To tell the truth, I would've been screamin so hard, I would've turned blue, died, spoke to Jesus, came back, and still would've had enough time to faint!!! Ughhh!! I hate spiders!

I gotta give spiders props though, because I think those are the only things that can get all 3 of my brothers to scream and "run to mommy"! Ha! And they say they're tough! Boy Stop! Yeah but my brothers are strong! But Spiders are a whole different story!!! I thought that this little picture was well needed after seeing that video, and all the pictures that came along with the video:

Its funny and sadly true! Have you ever seen those videos on YouTube where you see big strong men turn into little girls because of something they see??

I have!

When I was 9th grade, my coolest friend Lucas, that I knew since i was in preschool. He was in the 12th grade at this time. At my old school, we were walking back to our building from the gym. Lucas was with his 2 friends and I was with mine. We were on two different parts of the parking lots. But you could see him plain and clear. So we're almost to the school building. I start to hear a little ruckus where Lucas is walking, And I heard one of his friends say," Aye, Luc, you got a. . . . . . on you" Ha! Those were the trigger words! Lucas runs around in a circle, screaming to the top of his lungs, in a Minnie Ripperton voice, "Agh, Agh!!!! Get it off Get it off!!!!" I mean like you had to be there!!! LMAO! Oh yeah, by the way Lucas is a very tall, very muscular, athlete!

But Back To SPIDERS!!!

Eww everything about them makes me hate them!! Their Eyes!

Their Legs!

And then they're too fast to kill!

All their everything!!

And Don't forget those nasty little web things!!! Yuck!!! Those are the worst! Have you ever walked through an area with alot of trees, minding your own business, when you feel yourself walk through a line of web? I think that happens to me at least 3 times a day! I hope its not just me!

I mean people are too big to trap! Why do they have to put them in people's way??

Or how bout this have you ever woke up, and felt apart of you a little more sore the you went to sleep like? Or has something ever itched when you woke up, and the itch happened to have 2 holes?! Well you know what that means! A Spider! Not only did he bite you, but he was in your bed uninvited!!! How rude! Lets have a looksey at a spider bite!

That it was a bite from the Brown Recluse Jerk, I mean spider will do to you! Isn't it horrible, and probably unbearable! The pain! The agony!

And you know what urks my nerves!!! SPIDERMAN!!!

OK so, the ability to move like a spider swinging from web to web, hanging on to walls and ceilings isn't wonderful, don't get me wrong, but in order to do all this you have to get bit by a spider!And after you get bit you become a superhero! Whoopee!!!!That's all dandy! Its a movie! You cant make spiders cool, OK! Gosh!

What's funny about this blog, is that this was supposed to be short, but because I saw a chilling video, it made me wanna describe details about why I DON'T LIKE SPIDERS!!!! They're GROSS! Point.blank! Sorry spiders, there's one more person in the world that hates you!

As my exit more Spider videos!!!

This one is freakin' hilarious!

This one is from our troops in Iraq!

And the name of the spider in the cup, is the notorious camel spider! It is a new found species of spider! It can grow to be huge! Like this one!

Well this has been a blog by!

Izzy the superpuff!

When you hear superpuff, I'm sure think other things, but he is something different. Izzy is a small friend of mine. He is a really cool person or is he a she? I'm not sure sure, I never really investigated to find out. I guess he is going to be an "it". I'll call him a boy though. Izzy is a god friend. He has lots of friends and lots of people dont like him. Izzy told me that he wants to be just a great samritian, but he always ends up doing something different. He always seems to catch himself in other mess. I think its great what he's doing but he thinks different. Maybe you haven't realized, but Izzy isn't what he seems. He trys to keep his identity secret, he's

Costco on a Sunday afternoon in Burbank.

I'm shopping with my mom and niece for items for the house like food.

I hear the screeching of baskets rolling throw aisles.
I hear mom my blabbering to herself about her "in-head" grocery list.
I hear kids running around playing and touching everything in sight.
I hear the music in my ear from my iPod, Sucka for Love by Danity Kane.
I hear the multiple conversations of the thousands of people in the Costco warehouse.

I smell my perfume Sweet Pea from Bath and Body Works.
I smell all the different peculiar smells from all these people.
I smell the meat department with all the poor dead animals, which actually makes me sick to my stomach.
I smell the free samples that the Costco employees are "soliciting"to get people to buy them.
I smell the bakery of Costco with all the different cakes, pies, cookies, and other sweets. mmmmm^_^

I feel the handle of this extra tall basket that I was pushing.
I feel the rhythm of my music, which is giving me a beat to my walk.
I feel my heart pounding as I saw something that caught my eye;).
I feel the cold cement in this store.
I feel that lady who bumped me in my bum with the corner of her basket.

I see people as far as the eye can see.
I see tall shelves filled with food, electronics, and furniture.
I see people scrambling for parks closer to the entrance.
I see the Costco Gas Station with lines of cars that wrap around the curb
I see lines of carts waiting for the checkout stand to leave.

I taste the metal on my braces as I lick them making sure there's no debris there.
I taste my Revlon lip gloss every time I lick my lips.
I taste this nasty pistachio cracker sample.
I taste the piece of brownie that was at another sample stand.
I taste the water in my mouth that I bought from the vending machine for 50 cents.

These are all things that I experienced at my trip to Costco. This was very exciting.

Song: I Told Ya

Artist: Tynisha Keli

Song:

Ya already know

I gave you everything that I had

Now I gotta go

Cause you took me for granted

I've done this before

I'm not walking back through that door

Think this is what I deserve

But I aint playin these games no more

I've been tryna find a way to trust ya

I know in my heart im better off without ya

I cant lie to myself I know its over

Knew that you would break my heart before I told ya

What hurts me the most is all the second chances

Runnin back to you like you were gonna change but

I cant lie to myself I know its over

Knew that you would break my heart before I told ya

Feel like im goin insane

I'm conflicted with the way I feel

Somethin like love and hate

But a part of my wants you still

But in our history

Too many bad memories

I've done my own share of things

To hurt you

Theres no easy way

To say the end of the road is today

I've been tryna find a way to trust ya

I know in my heart im better off without ya

I cant lie to myself I know its over

Knew that you would break my heart before I told ya

What hurts me the most is all the second chances

Runnin back to you like you were gonna change but

I cant lie to myself I know its over

Knew that you would break my heart before I told ya

I know its hard to let it go

But I cant hold onto this no more

I feel that im through with your love

It's just not enough

You said that you'd be different before

I know its hard to let it go

But I cant hold onto this no more

I feel that im through with your love

It's just not enough

You said you'd be different

But boy you didnt care

I've been tryna find a way to trust ya

I know in my heart im better off without ya

I cant lie to myself

I know its over

Knew that you would break my heart before I told ya

What hurts me the most is all the second chances

Runnin back to you like you were gonna change but

I cant lie to myself I know its over

Knew that you would break my heart before I told ya

I've been tryna find a way to trust ya

I know in my heart im better off without ya

I cant lie to myself I know its over

Knew that you would break my heart before I told ya

What hurts me the most is all the second chances

Runnin back to you like you were gonna change but

I cant lie to myself I know its over

Knew that you would break my heart before I told ya

Response:

To me this song is like her talking about her past relationship, how she feels. Like she still loves him and all, but she cant be in a relationship where she is going to get hurt over and over. And she doesn't want to believe that its over, but she has to face the facts. She put up with a lot and didn't get any of the same emotions in the turn around. So shes through hoping for something that isn't there. Hoping for the hopeless. Like i think its a good song to hear when you think about your past relationships. Its make you think about what you had and how they may have had you blind but after you break up you realize all the things that you ignored but were there plain and clear. Sometimes its just things that make you mad or things that make you cry. She says "I know its hard to let it go, but i cant hold on to this no more." To me shes saying that its hard to forget about but and i like what we had, but she cant do it anymore, shes tired of the stress and the pain she has to go through i the relationship. She talks about how he doesn't care, and she knows he doesn't care. He doesn't care about what she cares about.
