Facebook & Your Privacy

Do you have a Facebook,Twitter,or Tumblr page? Do you feel as if it's an invasion of your privacy if someone looks on your page & judges you off of what you post? I'm kind of neutral on this topic because I feel that what you post is how you feel at the moment and if someone judges you off of it they're making an assumption. I'd rather someone approach me & ask me about what I said. Then again, a person should still be aware of what he/she posts.

Mississippi Has Been In The Negative Light Once Again

Some Mississippians would state that once again we, as a state, have been acknowledged for something negative. If it's not for Mississippi being the fattiest state or for have a number of STDs, we've been noticed now for the actions of our former governor, Haley Barbour. In his last days of office, Barbour pardoned over 200+ inmates including those convicted of murder. This sparked a lot of controversy. I feel as if what he did is wrong because if those were proven guilty of murder, why would you put them back onto the streets? Barbour reasoning behind that said that he believes in second chances. I believe in second chances but I'd rather have him had given pardons to those inmates that had drug possession charges. It's very wrong in my opinion. Barbour knew of the problems that would arise & basically kept with the saying,"Go out with a big BANG"! Would you rather him have given the pardons to people with lesser crimes or cold,stone hearted murderers ??

Feelings

"Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who has a low opinion of himself"
Anthony Trollope
This quote means that no one can judge or know a man if he has low self esteem. You will not know the true meaning of him because he will always have a low opinion of himself. He may be a nice person without the depression & all, but you will never know if that overshadows who he really is. That's kind of what I interpreted from this meaning. No one knows anyone better than they know their own self. Other than you knowing yourself,who do you think knows you better?

Enemies or Friends ???

"Our best friends and our worse enemies are our thoughts. A thought can do us more good than a doctor or a banker or a faithful friend. It can do us more harm than a brick." -Dr. Frank Crane


What I interpreted from this quote is that what can either harm you or encourage you is your thoughts. Certain thinking can result in low self-esteem or high self-esteem. Harmful thoughts make you down yourself, whereas good thoughts will encourage you to keep your head held high. Do you think your thoughts are your best friends or more of your enemy? What do you think are the forces behind this? 

friendly thoughts my way,

2012 Goals

The most discussed year since the year of "Big Brother" arriving has come...2012!! Most people said that since the Mayans predicted it that this year would be the end, that we wouldn't make it, however we have & as for any other year, another year brings goals and resolutions that we hope to fulfill before the next year. This year is a year that I've been awaiting for a long time. This is MY year & such a big year for me being that I graduate this year ..... SUPER EXCITED !! My goals for 2012 are to graduate in the Top Ten & to leave with a 4.0 GPA. Also I intend to excel superbly in college. I want to do a lot this year & continue to help others by volunteer work. Do you know of any great volunteer programs that can reach the community as a whole? This year will come will many surprises I can just feel it.. How about you? How are you feeling about this year?

Ambition is Running Through My Veins,
