So the last journal i did i said that my birthday was comming up next month, and thats about all i said since i was angry last week at the time when i wrote the journal. wellll, now i can further illustrate my happiness over my Sweet 16.

I guess it wont be as sweet as far as a big party, but hey i can still get down by myself?

well, tonight i told my mom that i want 3 things for my birthday, some new earphones, a birthday cake (hello kitty) and a dress.

sadly, very very very sadly, my earphones busted on me, you know how one ear side will stop working and you have to twist the cord to make it work then it just stops working in general? yeah, thanks alot earphones, thanks so much.

i want some big ones like these:

which you can find at walmart only for $25, not to mention they're big like my old ones. i love big earphones!

but i would love it i could find some earphones like these around here! does anyone know eher i could find some like these at? like best buy? and for a cheap price??????

thoes neon blue ones are goegeous...

and a cake, from walmart...(which i couldnt find a picture of!)

ohhh boy how cute is all of that? SUPER CUTE!

oh yeah, and a dress.. im thinking something like a pink dress.

that dress is is epic, to me. like whoa. its a pink dress..whoa!

lol, happy birthday to me.....but what should i do to celebrate it with others?

give me ideas, i need them!

and if you see some better earphones, cake and dress, let me know! dude, its my 16th birthday i want it to be nice....

til next time, Jo.

HONESTLY, This was the most epic-est VMA's i have ever seen in my entire 15 year old life.

to start off, i wasnt watching the VMA's until the whole kanye west thing, and after that i watched the whole thing.

To be honest, as far as the performances asr concerned, most of them we not good, in my opinion.

Lady GaGa totally was a hot mess, i mean i like her and her music but seriously, she should have performed Poker Face it would have been more lively, but her set was really pretty until the blood came along.

Beyonce was awesome, epic, cool.

jay z, im not a fan, and i think he should have porformed DOA(even though i dont like that song).

im upset FOB didnt win anything, really upset.

i am glad that Britney Spears won something, that goes to show that she stills have fans and people who care enough to vote for her.

NOWWWW on to the whole Kanye West and Taylor Swift thing.

i am a total fan of Kanye West, i think his music is different and yet people still accept him, and that something in the hip hop/rap world. I think he is a great musician.

Taylor Swift, i am not a fan and i dont know anything about her, except her song Love Story which i think is a pretty song and i think she has a pretty voice and is pretty.

Now, as far as Kanye West comming on stage, now that ive seen everything, watched everything, i have to say and give Beyonce her props for allowing Taylor Swift to come back on stage, very classy and nice of her.

I wish, i wish i wish Kanye hadn't done what he did, because lets face it and be totally honest, Beyonce Vs Taylor Swift , we all know Beyonce would win. So as far has what his intention and motive was about, not needed Kanye.

I feel as though its being taken all out of porportion, i mean isnt this what Kanye is known for? Outbursts, angry rants, and so on?

Yeah, america blow it out of porportion!

YET YET YET YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys know how the media world and the entertainment world is full of lies?

I see a few people on twitter saying how this could have been staged.

that is a possibility........lol

anyways, i believe when kanye's next album drops everybody is gonna go run and go get it, may and may not.....

anyways, i didnt like this VMA's this year over all, only certain people.

wellllllll, now i really wanna know what you honestly think about Beyonce, Kanye West and Beyonce?

how do you feel not only abou what happened tonight but about them in general before all of this.

and btw, one last question!

If Taylor Swift doesnt care what happened should we care?

ive been thinking lately about alot of stuff.

mostly literature. me writing it.

and i came up with this idea about santa, and since i dont read books, id like to know if this story has been done before or do you think its original, or anything that comes to mind when reading this!

well, i figured that santa is one of the world most knows figures, especially to kids, duh! but i came up with this idea of an evil santa.

and the story goes....

we all know that santa comes one a year to deliever kids presents for being good, but what if the only time kids got presents or toys was when christmas came?

like all during the year kids had to work hard, and that instead of a magical fantasy world, santa was evil and the only time kids had toys was when he came and gave them to the kids, and during the year they had to play with the same toys over and over and over, and sometimes when kids have worked hard and have been good santa still didnt come to their house.

andd, i even came up with an alternate story.

what if there were "classes" of people also, and that you had the poor class and the rich class, and the rich people gave santa drugs and he delievered presents to their houses, and that the poor people had to steal cheat and lie to get enough money to buy drugs to give to santa just so their kids could get gifts but even then they still didnt get good gifts like the rich kids, but then you had thoes parents who went through extreme measures to get on santa's good side so so their kids could get good gifts, and when they did get good gifts they would "show off" their kids gifts and try to make other people jealous, and soon murder and kidnap would happen.

is that a little too extreme for me to put santa in that position orrr???

i would really love opinions!

     America, what are you really? There are alot of things that come and go in america. alot of trends and in the journal where i was asking people what they think america is and all the trends and stuff, i got back really great answers! I would like to thank everyone who left a comment and a note with their personal opinion on what they think America is.

In the journal i talked about the hippie trend( the whole headband thing), how everyone looks alike, the scarf wearing trend, and everyone wearing skulls, and the Myspace world, how swine flu was so big now no one talks about it like that anymore, and differences between people.

When I Asked the Question - What Do You Think America Is?! Here's What a Few Buzznet Members Had To Say!

Here's What bizarreland (http://bizarreland.buzznet.com/) Said: 

 I think it would be fun to do that......But I can tell you the original Hippie trend was around for a long time and alot of those people are still hippies. Plus I don't think the swine flu is a trend at all I think alot of people will die from it. And Skulls !!! I'm still very much into skulls : ) I'm not on any other networking sites so I'm no help there !!!!! And as far as differences in color, religion and cultural backgrounds go as long as there are humans that will never change !!!! Never in a million years, for as long as humans have been in existence there has been conflict....That's just the way it is sad but true. And I didn't know everyone looked alike : D

Here's What Marvy (http://mcrxfierce.buzznet.com/) Said:

Also, that "being successful in America" is mainly based on how many cars you have, how large your house is, how much you can spend, how much money you have, if you have the latest (ex. phone, computer, iPod...). Just a thought. [:

I also appreciate this, not only because I'm from America, but also because I don't think that many people originally from here realize how good we really have it. How people take advantage of things so easily, and how people don't make opinions based on what they think, but on what the media tells them to be true. So thanks. [:

Here's What NOTGsarah(http://nameofthegamesarah.buzznet.com/) Said:

 What about how companies who distribute food use catchy words like "natural" when they still pump the foods with all kinds of chemicals. Or how free range animals eat whatever trash people decide is okay to leave on the side of the road/@ the farm.

Here's What Alcy(http://alcy.buzznet.com) Said:

Most of the things you listed are universal, not American.

I think one of the best things about America is that you can find a little of everything here (in the right areas, of course) - there are so many immigrants from around the world that there's a huge variety of foods, media, etc available, if not always mainstream.

As far as the worst...NOTGSarah has a good point, not even just involving trick words such as "natural" but the FDA as a whole is very corrupt, in all areas. Hidden (sometimes harmful, or otherwise contrary to the labeling) ingredients in foods or other products are generally ignored, "skin care" products are put on the market that are really just excuses for companies to dispose of waste materials, medicines are rushed to the market with minimal testing and doctors are bribed to push them on people...the list goes on.

Taking the tangent a step further, the entire medical system here is pretty terrible. Many Americans cannot afford health or dental insurance, and procedures generally cost much more here than in most other countries. It's not uncommon for US citizens to travel to Mexico, South America, or Thailand (just to name a few) to undergo procedures at a fraction of the price they would have cost domestically.

Utter crap devoid of nutrition passes as "food" here to the majority of people, and the FDA isn't helping by labeling french fries as a "vegetable serving". Yeah, sure, people should be able to eat things they like (I think even most generally healthy eaters like some junk, now and then), but it's to the point in this society that healthy food is something one must go out of the way to find - and plenty of things that really aren't healthy at all are labeled to disguise them as such. Kids are especially being hit hard - many (I'm tempted to even say most) public schools only serve greasy crap and refined starches for lunch.

Despite all of the types of people here that make this an interesting place of many opportunities...intolerance is a pretty big issue. Ethnic groups clash, religious/spiritual/ideologist groups clash...in some areas, even students from different high schools clash. Granted, much of this is small in scale compared to some countries around the world, but there are still plenty of hate crimes - not to mention the one known as Proposition 8 (as well as DOMA).

Back to schools...the majority of schools here really aren't teaching anything, even schools with awards such as the "blue ribbon" designation. When I started first grade at an acclaimed public school (I didn't have kindergarten), I was shocked to be forced to read books on the low level I read as an infant (we weren't even allowed to check chapter books out of the school library until the second half of the year and were instructed to seek books with "lots of colorful pictures" instead). Elementary and middle schools are terrible in this manner (even in the "gifted and talented" classes), and high school isn't much better.

I'll probably have more to add to this...

Which She Did!

My connection went out and my second comment was lost. I had more about schools...art and music programs are severely underfunded in most public schools, most elementary/early middle school "music classes" are really just sessions of making kids read goofy nursery rhymes aloud rather than anything to do with the actual composition or performance of music.

Home economics and woodshop classes are also underfunded in at least some areas - not sure about as a whole, but at my middle school (also an acclaimed school) both were replaced with unnecessary "classes" (which were primarily social activities). The majority of funding at the school was put into sports and building a second gymnasium - given the low number of students and absolutely minimal percentage of students with weight problems (maybe 5 tops, all grades combined), this was absolutely unnecessary, especially given the useful classes we missed out on as a result.

Foreign language education is way behind most of the developed world - in many areas, regular classes do not start until high school, where there is usually only one option taught by an unqualified teacher - students rarely wind up with any degree of fluency in the language, and are not required to.

Probably more to come...

Here's What Hellocouture(http://hellocouture.buzznet.com/) Said:

that people are a cult of personality....this country has alot of freedom that people take for granted regardless what one thinks this is a great country, that is why people migrate here it is the melting pot. peace, & Love. good Luck w/your research =) *BuZz*

Here's What Sirius Black(http://katiejrod.buzznet.com/user/) Said:

yeah sure! here are five things that make America, America:

1.)Fast Food. There's no denying that Americans love food and they like it fast. It's a good thing because it saves time every now and again. But overall it's a bad thing because it contributes to obesity and the food is often more bad than good.

2.) Entrepreneurship. If you've got a good idea, you can be successful!! Forget repression. In America, you can shoot for the stars and fly high.

3.) Sports. They keep people in shape and provide for a common interest. Everyone can be invovled!

4.) Academics and Intelligence. America has some of the best schools in the world! Males and females alike are encouraged to study and achieve their full potential. Many states offer free education up through the university level, which many people are now taking advantage of :)

5.) Community. People are often friendly and want to hang around each other. Neighborhoods and subdivisions provide good communities for American families.

Here's What Anjadandelion (http://anjadandelion.buzznet.com/user/) Said:

I am from europe soooo...this will be interesting positive: big country = for everyone the perfect state ;) thank u guys for sitcoms and great rockbands.lol negative: I just hate patriotism. it's too much over there. when the world really goes to shit one day I'm not sure if the only solution is calling the USaner (xD) - but most movies transport that message. aliens attacking paris - will smith will save u!

Here's What Krisann(http://krisann.buzznet.com/user) Said:

well negative things about America are the racism,terrorists problems,most americans are uneducated and into material stuff. Positive things,America gives people opportunities for better life, were into sports like football, we're patriotic,accept social behaviors better than most countries such as gay relationships and controversial shows on tv,etc.

Here's What Katiebowdridge(http://katiebowdridge.buzznet.com/user/) Said:

haha hmmm well, i'm canadian so this should be interesting. i think i'm going to go with negatives 1. i'm not allowed to move there 2. you guys aren't allowed to visit cuba 3. it's way too hot in some places / times of the year that's all i've got haha

Here's What Ginny Weasly(http://decayedapple.buzznet.com/user/) Said:

Well, I'm not american, just like lots of people you ask.. But I'll try to figure something out. I've been once in America, it is soooo different than Poland. I'm not going to make a 5 or 10 things list, like you asked me, but I'll tell you what I know. In America (it exists in other countries too, it's not that big and "famous" though) there is such a thing named SCENE. Like, you know, scene kids. In Poland, it does not exist. There are no fifteen years old girls who dye her hair pink, etc. The other thing is food. I completely did NOT like American food (except for fast food, obviously). There is something about it, that I did not like. People are different, they behave absolutely different than eg European people.... Well, the only thing that makes sense about what I just told you is that... America's like nothing other in the world. Sometimes it sucks, but sometimes it's awesome. Blah blah blah.

Here's What Why So Sirius (Black) (http://yarastien.buzznet.com/user/) Said:

i agree about the education system ,, and the health care in america isn't that great either ... other than that I'm afraid I can't think of anything else ,, sorry I'm not very helpful ,, but if I think of somthing I'll sure send u a messgae =D

Here's What Stacilynnx3(http://stacilynnx3.buzznet.com/user/profile/) Said:

4 things that are great about America[I can't think of a 5th one]- 1.Complete freedom of speech. 2.Citizens have control of their lives 3. Can vote for our own leaders 4. We have a shot at being/doing what we want with our lives

And, 5 things that aren't so great about America - 1. Our education is FAR behind other countries 2. Too many people (especially children) are overweight due to unhealthy, fatty foods 3. Freedom that some people should have is given and then taken away just as fast [ex. Cali allowing same sex marriage and then banning it] 4. Gov. more worried about unimportant things then dealing with important issues up-front 5. Unneccesary use of tax dollars (ex. A town near mine is building a 4-lane road, when they barely need a 2 lane)

Here's What Rachou93(http://rachou93.buzznet.com/user/profile/) Said:

Well I'm french so I don't really know America , like a native american,but I went last summer in Florida so :
1) I'm obssessed with this country because
-It's huge,everything is big,I think that makes the United States, the USA.
-Events,festivals are more numerous and way better, (like Christmas,Halloween)
-The best bands ,music , actors,movies,stuffs are from America
-I love the american accent
-Fall Out Boy&Panic at the disco lol
-People are friendly,nice,cool...
-I'm obsessed with this country

Negative points:
I think that some American have a very little knowledge,they only know their culture,tradition,though there are so many countries and culture all over the world (I'm generalising ,I'm sure that there are so many american who like other cultures) ,you know , us french people don't only eat cheese and drink wine.
-Some american( I'm generalising again) think that they're the best, superior to other people.
But there are more Positive Points, God Bless AMERICA!!

Thats Alot, To Me. Even From The People Who Are Non-American.

WhoaNelly!!!!!!

last week was like whoa for me, total whoa.

monday, was like omgomg because i was talking this very long test and i was like "omg i have to finish i have to finish i have to finish!" and what did i do? i finished with flying colors a B. it was a high B at that, and with all of my efforts i got rewarded to my surprise all last week. for starters, i hadthese 2 phones:

and i really loved my pink flip, i mean lovvved it! and my rumor was a good phone, but i had to order a 2nd one because my first one was slow and it would freeze and turn itself off and so i sent it back and got another one of the same color, white. and i loved it once i got a new one. thoes phones are great phones. BUT!!!! we got upgrades. and again to my surprise i got upgrades too. (my mom was originally going to the sprint store to replace her phone but they said we could get all 3 of them replaced, so she replaced all 3 of them!) and when she came back home she had this radioshack bag and i started screaming, really loudly. lol. and when i oppened up the bag i i saw my new phones

and i started screaming LOUDER.

now my ratings for these phones are:

Rumor 2: a great phone, the only thing that i do not like about it is that it doesnt have a camcorder like my rumor 1, but its camera is wayyyy better than the R1 and it does alot more and is faster. its a really good phone!

Sanyo-scp2700: its functions reallllllllly do remind me of my pink phone. it looks all advanced , but i dont really know.  i think its pretty, all in all, its a great phone.

my mom got a Sanyo-scp2700 too, her looks like this:

AND THATS SOOOOOOOO NOT IT!

then, like a day or 2 later, a box came to my house.

ok so what happened with the box was, we always get thoes shopping catalogs sent to our house where you order stuff out the books and they send it to you, and they sent us another perfume ordering book, so my mom was like "pick out what you want." and i did and so did she. so now after the company is all like "im sorry but we're out of thoes items you ordered" they still send us the stuff!!!!! to my surprise again, im shocked because i was so down when my mom told me that, but look what happened!

sooooooooo here's what i got!

ok, so the Ed Hardy Perfume smells really good! its not too strong but its not too light either, its really good!

The Ciara Perfume: OMG SOOOOOO SUPER STRONG, BUT IT SMELLS SOOOOOOO GOOD!plus my mom is like, my sister used to wear this perfume.( she's in heaven btw!) but she still used to wear it.

the Britney Spears Perfume (which is my second bottle) and the Lotion(which is hugggge in real life and is thick and creamy) smells so good, and the best part about the lotion is, it isnt just any kind of lotion, it resembles cocoa butter and again is creamy and thick but not too thick!

and i got a magnifing mirror, but it doesnt look like that but just to show you, yeah,i got one. it has 2 sides and its awesome!

THANKS EVERYONE! for reading this long blog, and oh, how many of you are watching big brother, its dramatic! i love it!

bye everyone!
