Tattoos...
Some may ask what is the difference between hairstyles, clothing & tattoos? I guess I would have to say, well it's with you forever!!! I think about the many ways you can express yourself. You can color you hair black and be Gothic for a while, dress in all black, and have many piercings all over your body, even get tattooed with many markings of what your into at the time. Then one day let's say five years down the road, you graduate from high school, you go onto college and you decide it is time you got out of this "phase" you have been in just to creep out your parents. So the hair gets colored back to normal, your clothing is much more modern and conservative to your age, and the piercings are all taken out and grown shut. Then comes to the lovely tattoos you had placed all over for the world to see, there is no going back on those, well unless you want to go through many expensive treatments to have them removed. I think that when it comes to tattoos we have to really think about the effect that it will play on our lives for the rest of our lives! It is not something that is just here in the moment it is forever!

The Glass Castle Review
"The Glass Castle"
I for one never read a book in high school.. Then after I was married and put on bed rest with our first child, I began to read books about 9-11. A lot of true inspirational stories came out of that day. From that day forward I kept reading and find it very relaxing, "my time".
I am currently back in college and in our English/Writing class we were asked to read the book, "The Glass Castle", I have to tell you I was recommended this book prior and absolutely loved it. So when picking out my English class this was a a huge part of why I chose this class.
"The Glass Castle" is an amazing book about a child's life growing up in poverty and abuse. From a very young age she was given challenges that most adults will never see in there life time. She was brought up in a very abusive family, loving but not in the way that a parent should be.
The writer Jeanette Walls really gave a very personal inside look at her up bringing. She went into great detail of the events that happened in her life. And showed us as the audience how determined she was to get out. She gave great detail of the poverty level her family was at but also the way her own parents put them in that poverty category deliberately.
All in all a very good book and a must read!

Indianapolis 500 Nascar
I a going to push some buttons on this one I am sure... A couple weeks ago I was told that "we" were having a Indy 500 party?? I then proceeded to ask "what exactly is that"? I was told "only the biggest, most important race of the year"! I thought to myself for a minute before I spoke, I was sure I was going to offend someone. I cannot sit and watch a car go around in circles and waist a whole Sunday doing that. Would someone please tell me what the fascination is. When I watch football it is all about the home state and favorite players, groups of people and it is I consider a "real" sport or at least interesting! Much like baseball, hockey or even golf! I just can't for the life of me see why people find it interesting to watch a car go as fast as it can with out blowing the engine and tires to see who can finish on the same circle over and over.. Well there I vented a little, the party was a huge success and everyone had fun playing cards and talking since the race was rained out. Unfortunately we had to go without the TV on Monday night just so the man could watch the race that he sat up half the night to see who won... So strange!
