creative mind

one thing im good at is art and creating things. one day i hope to put all my creative engery into something productive, maybe one day even invent something. drawing has been a passion of mine for as long as i can remember. my mother has always supported my creative ideas and sketches by always buying me sketch books and all my creative materials. i hope to become better at my passion and never loose my gift at art. i have often switched my styles of drawing but still always keep what i have learned in mind. anime, the body, animals, you name it i have gotten to the point to where i can look at anything and draw it if not exactly i put my own twist to it.

my super power


if i had a super power it would be invisibility.with this ability i would become a secret agent or spy because i would be able to sneak information from anyone without them even knowing i was there. i would get to hear pretty much everything people didnt want me to know. it would also come in handy when i dont want to be bothered with anyone because no one would be able to find me .

come winter


everyone has that favorite time of the year. i know i do, i love bundling up in my winter clothes, siting next to warm fires, and drinking a hot drink during my favorite time of the year. winter is the best season for me because i like cold weather. i like being able to bundle up under my covers when its cold outside or even layer my clothing. during this season im down to do anything it doesnt matter what season it is. around winter time is Christmas so i usually do my shopping for the ones who matter in my life, which is something i enjoy doing because i just like to shop. for some reason i always liked the whole winter theme the snowmen, the warm mittens and beanies, sometimes even the Christmas music.. well to a certain point

my home:)

what i love best about my home is how peaceful it is. only my mother and i stay in my house now so we both have our own space that we stay in. my home is like my get away from the world and i feel safe there. i also love all the memories that my house holds. memories of my childhood and loved ones who have shared my home with me. im happy to have been able to grow up in the same house for my whole life because i never had to move away from the place that holds my dearest memories. if my homes walls could talk they would tell you alot, maybe even things i never even known about. as the time goes on i hope to be able to keep this house this house forever and pass it on to one of my children one day.

the oldest person i know

the oldest person i know is also the most dear to me, my grandmother. my grandmother is one of the coolest grandparents you could have and would give me the world if she could. i would do the same for her also and some. i have grown to love her though her best and worst times and she is an unforgetable lady. i get much of my style and teachings from her because she played a great part in raising me. she carried herself as a strong independent woman and still stands as a great influence in my life. her style and grace attracts peoples attention and always had a word to say. yes she is quite a bossy woman and smart talker but has a big heart. she has managed to keep her beauty, integrity, and has not changed a bit over all these years. i know as she grows older she will always remain the same and always be in my heart and thoughts no matter what.

the youngest person i know


the youngest person i know is also my one of my favorite lil people, and his name is james ivy aka poopoo aka chicka-chicka-boom-boom. i bet your wondering how he got his 2nd nick name, well its because he loves to watch his favorite dvd called chicka-chicka-boom-boom that teaches you your 1,2,3's. james is my boyfriends little brother and is the sweetest lil boy, the way he says my name always makes me laugh. he's a smart lil 5 year old he knows how to work his cmputer, get his favorite shows and dvds on, and how to get what he wants(because he's spoild). james has pretty curly strait hair and wears it in styles like his older brother.

4 years ago


i have grown so much since 14, not so much as my looks but over all as a person. 9th grade year seemed like just four days ago, but i could do so much more than i was able to then. i know more than i had known before and if i could do it all over again i wouldnt change a thing. 9th grade year was a slow introduction into high school, new people, new relationships, and new friends. i truly view my 9th grade year as boring compared to how it is now and even how it was my 10th grade year. my 9th grade year i did not have a job there for i was getting all my money from my parents -_- they where in complete control of my life. i couldnt  drive still at this age so i was very dependent of others. currently i have two jobs, my license, a car, and alot more independence.

the batt who couldnt fly


there was once a bat in my closet that couldnt fly. his wings were too short and his belly was too fat so he stayed in my closet and organized my clothes. he loved my closet because it was very cool and dark and ate pnut butter and jelly sandwiches in my closet, i knew this because he always left the crums. i named him Messy Jessy and as long as i had pnut butter and jelly sandwiches to be made in my kitchen he stayed.

i have a brother..


most people think that i am the only child.*which is pretty much true* but what they dont know is that i do have a 32 year old brother on my fathers side. yes i know of him and seen pictures but i do not know much. he lives in Dalas Texas, and because he doesnt like my dad that much we dont keep in contact. sometimes i wonder would my life have been alil different with a older brother in my life, i love the fact that i am the only child but i never enjoyed the lil perks of having a older brothers influence. maybe he could have protected me, looked out for me, and we could have enjoyed each others company when we wanted someone to talk to. my brother, his wife, and 4 son's came to visit my christmas of 2009, and we didnt spend as much time as i would have liked to. because he had children and a wife i was not the only one he had to pay attention to. it was nice to reunite with him because i had not seen him since i was 3 years old but there is so much i do not know about him and would like to know. i dont ever think we will get close but only time will tell if it was ment for us to reunite as brother and sister again. i have enjoyed all these years of being the only child because i love the fact that i dont have to share with others. im not selfish but i do like my own space and my own things, and having another lil sister or brother around mite just keep me stressed out.

if i could have any animal for a pet..


if i could have any animal for a pet i would pick a white tiger. they are beautiful animals and i would love to have one of my own. i would treat my tiger right feed him steaks every day, watch him grow from a cub to a adult. as cubs they are so irresistable and cute but yet they are fierce and dangerous. i would make sure they had their own space in my home and it is comfortable for them. they would only be around me so they would learn to except me being in their space and will attack any unwanted people in our home.

theres a dinosaur in my back yard!

feeling the cool breeze from my bedroom window creep under my covers and through my toes as they lay on top of my pink overs i heard a sound. refusing to open my eyes to see a new beautiful day i payed close attention to this loud movement coming from outside of my window. it was as if i heard one thousand children's feet jumping up and down all at once. i tossed and i turned to try to tune out this sound but there was no exscaping it. suddenly it stopped and it grew cold. "whats going on" i thought to myself as i jumped up to see something i have never seen in my life. a giant eye was peeping through my window staring at me just as confused as i. as i stood frozen for a second i began to scream and i guess i scarred it as much as it scarred me, because the poor thing made a unbearable noise that broke all my windows. maybe this was a dream but i hit myself so many times i knew it could not had been. i got up to glance out the window hoping to see nothing in my back yard but my tall trees, well kept green grass, and a few of my mother flowers, but instead i had a surprise. there was nothing but dirt from where the green dinosaur was rolling back and fourth on our prefect grass and flowers that looked as if they no longer existed. there he was the monster hiding behind a tree scarred to death as he starred back at me. "hey there, are you hiding from me?" i asked this big green dinosaur with the face of a innocent child. "come from behind that tree!", i yelled and threw a pebble i found by my foot at him. i guess my new green friend got lucky because my aim isnt so good, but it got close enough for him to pick it up. leaning over to grab what i had thrown his way he made a sound as if he was in pain and tipped over. the ground shook so much that i fell along with him. i got back on my feet fast not knowing what to expect but the unexpected happened. big clear tears began to fall from my new friends big black eyes, and he began to wine about his hurt leg. i ran to his rescue and as i helped him as he told his story. running away from home he had hopped my fence and damaged his leg in the process. when he fell he crushed my grass and my mothers flowers, and once he smelt the breakfast from my house he decided to get a closer look,but looked into the wrong room and found me.

if you could cook any meal for your family..

if you could cook any meal for your family, what would you cook? describe the meal and tell how you would make it..

 ok if i could pick any meal i could pick for my family i would start off by making a nice healthy salad with tomatoes, lettuce, crutons, grilled chicken, and top it off with a nice italian dressing. for the next course, which is their main dish, i would fix salmon, topped with a hint lemon. for the last meal, dessert, i would keep it healthy by finishing the meal with a nice cup of sherbert ice cream.

describe one time when you were brave

   I can only remember one time i was brave and was my mothers hero. In a 5 bed room house with only two people living inside, i am the only one out of the two who has to do everything. So one day, when a spider came and  crept out from the darkness, i was expected to kill it. I think i have a spider-phobia, if that even exists, but i get freaked out and the chills take over my body. When i saw that humongous black spider crawl from behind my mirror in my room, i jumped and ran out the room and my mother forced me to come back to kill it.

Entertainment Industry Violence

Entertainment Industry Violence

        I strongly believe that television violence has a negative effect on society and it promotes violence. The movie industry promotes narcotics, guns, assaults, and murder.                                                                                                                   
       In the movie the “Fast and Furious” the producer promoted illegal street racing and glamorized a life of crime that involved robbery, murder, and grand theft auto (GTA). The main actor Vin Diesel recruited skilled race car drivers. Every weekend, race car drivers from throughout the city would meet at a pre-designated location conducive for illegal street racing. Barricades were used to block off the streets and provide a race course. A crowd of followers, party goers, and cruisers would gather to watch the racers show off their customized vehicles and sound systems. They placed illegal wagers on the involved race car drivers.                                                                                                                       
          The starter stands directly in front of the race cars with both hands raised above her head. The race begins once the starter drops both of her hands to her sides. The cars accelerate to speeds over 100 mph and the car that crosses the finish line first is considered the winner. The bettor that placed a wager on the winner collects illegal money. However to get to this point, the race car drivers   as well as the bettors had to obtain their money illegally.                                        
          For this lifestyle, the race car drivers had to commit robbery by holding up 18 wheeler tanker trucks containing gasoline at gun point. They would high jack the tanker trucks and then find buyers for the merchandise. All of which are violent felonies and if caught by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) they could be arrested, taken to jail, appear in Superior Court, and if found guilty by a judge and jury, placed in prison.  
        In real life, the people who watch the “Fast and Furious” movies are inspired and try to emulate what they have seen on the big screen and incorporate it into their weekend lifestyle. For example, on any given Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night street racers, cruisers, car clubs, and motorcycle clubs congregate and cruise on Crenshaw Blvd between the Santa Monica Freeway (10 FWY) and Manchester Avenue in Inglewood. Approximately 500 to 1000 vehicles and or motorcycles gather and commit various felony crimes very similar to what they have seen at the movies.                                                                                           
          They street race and drive reckless, run red traffic lights, purchase and sell narcotics, commit grand theft auto by taking one another’s vehicles, and endanger regular citizens from the community.                                                                         
         Cruisers smoke their tires and drift by accelerating at a high rate of speed, and do doughnuts in the middle of the street continuing to drive in circles. Car club members block traffic allowing them to do this and the large crowds cheer them on just like in the “Fast and Furious” movie. Businesses such as Mc Donalds, Wingstop, Burger King, El Pollo Loco, and Subway have all been robbed at gun point by cruisers. The LAPD responds to those businesses and complete police reports of the robberies. The LAPD also deploys Cruiser Task Forces that target these groups of individuals and when they receive a radio call of illegal street racing on
Crenshaw Blvd
they respond in full force and chase the cruisers away. The unlucky ones who are caught are arrested and their vehicles are impounded just like in the movie.                                                                 
        In conclusion, the movie industry’s purpose is to sell movie tickets and obtain high ratings on television. So they glamorize violence, action, and crime. They make it very interesting to the general public. However, teenagers and young adults who watch these movies are negatively impacted. It creates a false lifestyle and some people believe that if they rob, steal, and murder that they can get away with it, some people in society actually believe they may not be punished or held accountable for a violent crime. This lifestyle of crime is not as glamorous as it appears in movies. In reality, anyone who commits a violent crime will eventually get caught and be placed in prison or worse lose their lives.

She got out the car...

  She got out of the car and my heart dropped. What was she doing here, was the only thing that lingered throughout my mind. Everything got serious at that instant. I grabbed my little flip phone and typed away as fast as I could, sitting in the car in the Groves parking lot." Whats wrong are you not about to get out the car?",my boyfriend questioned trying to figure out the problem. I paused, and threw my phone in my purse. "My mom is here too, she does not know I am not at school." I sank into my black leather seats as if i could not be seen, and looked into his eyes. "Shes going to kill me", i thought to myself as i tried to keep my emotions all in. Then my heart dropped as a figure grew larger approaching my cars tented windows. Bang!Bang!Bang! It was a long pause was i slowly turned my head to see the lady with the long flowing purple dress and long brown strait hair that i feared to see. It was my mom.

the 1st thing i want in the morning

The first thing i want in the morning is my music to get me going and stared for my day i turn on the ipod and blast whatever i am in the mood to hear. It gets me energized enough to roll out of the bed, and get me ready for whatever goes on in my day.

simply me

i am bre and that is all that i can be 
i wonder what the future holds for me 
i head success calling me
i see sandy beaches and warm waters
i want lots of ice cream and nice cars
i am bre and that is all that i can be
i pretend the pool is hot before i jump in when it is really cold
i feel good after i accomplish my goals
i touch the sky
i worry after i lie
i cry and only God knows why
i am bre and that is all that i can be
i understand that i can only take one day at a time
i say everything happens for a reason
i dream one day to have no worries
i try to be the best i can be
i hope i can handle everything that is in store for me
i am bre and thats all that i can be
