Dance Groups

This video is crazy: click here

Diversity is an all boys street dance group from England.

They are called Diversity because they are very diverse. For example, they have two little kids in their group. They auditioned for BGT (Britains Got Talent) in 2009 and proceeded to win the competition thanks to group leader Ashley's amazing direction and choreography. The final performance is amazing.

A History of Stuffing

Happy Thanksgiving. Apparently, it isn't known when Stuffing was first made, but the first writing of it is Apicius' "De Re Coquinaria." It was known as "Farce" in the Middle Ages, the term "stuffing" first appearing in 1538.

Thanksgiving and Food

The traditional stuffed turkey adorns every dinner table during the feast. Pumpkin pie, Cranberry sauce, Corns are some of the dishes cooked everywhere to mark the day. Though historians don't have an evidence to prove that turkey was eaten during the first Thanksgiving dinner, but the thanksgiving celebration will be incomplete without it. - http://www.thanksgiving-day.org/thanksgiving-day-tradition.html

my fear

Well, I don't want to say that my fear is death because it isn't, but its the thought of what happens after death. I believe that you turn to dirt after you die, thats just what i personally believe, but i can't imagine not being able to hear, feel, see, and experience things.

So what does happen when you die?

Do you go to heaven or hell?

do you turn to dirt?

do you re-incarnate?

what happens? Thats my greatest fear.

My Fear

I'm scared of stuff behind. Like sometimes I feel like there's something behind me when nothing is. I could not find anything on the internet about that.

My Fear of Spiders.

Spiders are frikin' scary to me. Everything about them, the way they look, the way they move sends shivers down my spine.

Have a good day :)

The only thing I fear is not my death but my familys

This diddnt accully happen to me this an articale I found

My father passed away early this morning after an extended illness. Even though I had been trying to prepare myself for this for some time, I am having an awful time coping with this situation. Today, I took a drive about an hour away and bought myself lunch. I then drove to visit a few places my father and I had enjoyed together - places that always brought me peace and relaxation. I called home to explain to my Mom that I needed some time alone. I explained that I was not ready to start greeting people at our house to discuss the loss. I wanted some time at home to relax and talk with my Mom. Well, all day people came by. Eventually, my Mom called to tell me that she and my niece were the only ones home if I wanted to come home. I told her yes. I asked if she and I could grab a bowl of soup and talk - just the 2 of us. When I got home, my nephew called that he was coming over with his 2 daughters. I suggested that we drop off my niece to him and that would give my Mom and I the alone time that I felt I needed. My Mom refused. As such, I sat in my room crying while everyone else was there laughing and having a good time. Once everyone left, I tried again to talk with my Mom. My niece, a high school student, walked in between my Mom and I. I simply asked if my Mom and I could have 10 minutes to talk in private. My mom screamed at me and told me to get out of there before she punched me in the mouth. I pleaded with my Mom that I did not want to lose both parents on the same day but with no response. She has laughed at me crying and is telling me that I have completely lost that I need to grow up and face reality. Meanwhile I continue to reach out to her and attempt to tell her how to comfort me. I can not even imagine going to the funeral. I said my good byes at my father's bedside. Yet, my Mom says that I would be extremely rude if I did not go. She then turns around and tells me to do what I think it right. I honestly have NO idea. I feel really alone yet I want to be alone to a point...I am the only one crying over the loss of my father. My mom says she doesn't know what to do with me and that my actions are totally abnormal. PLEASE HELP!

Did you know that this October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays?

Some people are saying this happens once every 823 years, though that isn't true; 2010 uses the exact same calendar as 1999. However, it is still cool that it's the first time this century where we've had 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays in a single month.

The Value Piece of a Facebook

This a interesting article about how the creator of Facebook try's to donate 100million dollars to help troubled schools.

I found some awesome sites for indie/runway fashions (So we can brighten the blog up a bit instead of having depressing posts!) :)

As social media shifts boundaries, a student's suicide shows a darker side

From the Philly Inquirer

A poem I wrote for killer thriller class- by Kayleigh Ann

The girl.
The girl is dead.
At least she thinks.


Shes lost.
In her mind.
Shes on the ground.
In the cabin.
Trying to breathe.
Scratches. Cover her face.
And body.
Whispers.
What happend?
Where did they come from?


His mind
is like..
a hurricane.
but a dead one..
Calm.
Like a serene ocean.
But dead.
Hes only dead.
Hes just dead.
He thinks.


People.
They say the two are dead.
No one really knows the story though.
Its too cold to think.
Or maybe its too hot?
Weather changes.
So do there minds.


Bipolar.
Is everywhere.
Death.
Suspicion.
Lies.
An ever changing world.
Theres no escape.
Its an outbreak.

-Kayleigh
