My pet peeves all sort of relate to people's behavior. There are some that relate to different issues but those will be named last. So let us begin.
First off I hate, absolutely detest, when people swallow something really big. Example: when someone has just taken a huge bite out of a burger and they don't want to chew all the way through so they just gulp it down. It makes a disturbing sound and it is hard to type about this because know I am thinking about it. Ok let's move on.
The second pet peeve I have is when people take their finger and begin to push their eyebrows in the opposite way then their natural hair growth. So basically, if they mess them up on purpose. I don't like this because I have an obsession with eyebrows, and if you disrupt the natural flow of your eyebrows...I don't know it just is upsetting for me.
I am getting tired of beginning these sentences with, thirdly, secondly, the first, etc, so I am just going to go with numbers.
3. I hate when rich people complain about not having enough. I mean, come on, their is crap going on out in the world and you are upset about how you don't have the latest technology. Go buy it yourself! That's what I do. Don't have a job? MAKE a job, a.k.a a business. Too hard? Your by yourself, and don't go asking for mommy and daddy's help! ( this one is a little harsh since we are in a recession and the unemployment rate is high, but it's just something that popped into my head. Sorry for any offense)
4. Ok so we talked about people behavior, let's get a little into some issues. LONG LINES. Gosh I hate them so much. I mean I have places to go, people to see. I don't have time to be waiting in a freakishly long line! Especially at lunch, that's the worst. You only have like 30min to eat and HALF of those are spent in line and then 2min are spent getting your stupid ketchup or condiments because there is another line for that! So really you only have 13 MINUTES to eat. 13 MINUTES? That's crazy, preposterous even. I like to have meals that you don't have to rush and can talk with friends. This is why I don't finish my food everyday.
5. This is my last one I promise. ( the last one I'll type down) I dislike when all the teachers have the audacity to give us huge assignments to do by the next day. Are you the only teacher in the world? NO we have THREE, count them THREE, other classes that we need to do. I don't want to be staying up till midnight finishing assignments, I have to get to bed. I need my sleep, or else I can't concentrate in class the next day, and then the homework was for NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! I hate homework assignments you can't take anything from. I know this issue might never change, but at least it's off my chest now.
Ok that is all of my rants for today. Onward to more homework.....AHHHHH!!!

Response to Manufacturing Constent with Links
In the documentary. Manufacturing Consent, Noam Chomsky was very compelling with all the statements he was making. Even if he was not on the mark at all times, he was very confident in what he was saying. In this world, people are more likely to jump on your band wagon if you bring up new issues that you feel devoted to. In other words, if you are confident, people will be more confident in you.
Noam Chomsky exemplified confidence in all of his speeches on why the world is being sheltered on the information that it receives. The news leaves out events and details that are important for a better understanding on the important issues in our society. Most people take the news for what it says and don't question its words or sayings. If people continue to do so, they will develop no mind of our own and take everything for what it is. Just as Noam Chomsky said in his interview, we need to develop our own opinions and immerse ourselves with more knowledge on different topics. To do this we have to look at other sources besides the news and magazines. There are plenty of resources out there for us to read and we just have to acquire them for our own use.*
I don't have to agree with Mr. Chomsky and neither does anyone else. In fact, it is better for me to have my own mind in this matter. For me I feel that the news is covering issues up for us. They are putting blinds over our eyes so that we don't see the darkness. In some ways, I view this to be beneficial. If we don't know about catastrophes, then our minds will be filled with lollipops in rainbows,(hypothetically). On the other hand, we can't ignore the people or places that are in turmoil. People help people and that is how the world is suppose to work. In other words, even though it is good to be blissful and ignorant, this world isn't fair and we need to help make it fairer.
The link below provides more information on why your opinion is important. For the jist of it, Julia Barnard, the author, says that having your own opinion helps you build confidence. She also states that making a blog or some other form of internet writing helps to get your opinions out into the world. This will help you get your insight out and also connect you with different ways to hear other peoples opinions. If you can get your opinion out to the world, you can bring about change. This change could be good or bad, and you can inspire others to take apart in some sort of change as well. If we can get people thinking about different issues in a new ways, then we can start to get people to make more opinions or debates about topics. This may led to bigger and better outcomes, on the optimistic side, and then make our world better. I am not saying that this will happen, but it could and I think we should take a chance on that. Therefore, people say you opinions and make changes in this media covered world!

Origins of My Title Sparkling Pink Sugar
Why did I make "Sparkling Pink Sugar" the title name of my blog? Because it has a special meaning to me. It isn't just some goofy name that I thought of spontaneously. The title has origins.
When I was a little girl I loved to watch television. My favorite shows to watch were cartoons and I would watch them constantly, everyday. My mom grew tired of me wasting my time watching T.V. so she made some time limits. She said that I could only chose one show to watch per day. The options at that time were the new and bright Powerpuff Girls series and the popular yet intriguing Pokemon series. Which one did I choose? Well, since I am a girl and I loved new things, I had to go for Powerpuff Girls. The show was funtastically amazing. The vibrant colors and the misshapen girls were so interesting to me. They would go on these adventures to fight crime and evil. The best of all was that they were made form artificial ingredients. This in turn led to my title.
"Sugar, spice and everything nice these were the ingredients to make the perfect little girls." This was the introduction every time an episode showed. They would show this professor mixing these ingredients into a pot. Then suddenly these girls would appear once he accidentally added chemical X. It was amazing to see the transformation between them being powder to girls and then fight, so I kept on watching the series. Part of my title came from part of the opening introduction; the "sugar" part. Thus, making the last word in my title.
So were did the sparkling pink come from? Well, my favorite color is sparkling white because I love anything that deals with magic and fairy dust. So that were the sparkle came from. The pink is just there because It brings the two words together nicely. There isn't much more to it than that. So know I have an awesome title filled with some of my past memories. You have more information about why I named my blog Sparkling Pink Sugar. Pat yourself of the back for reading you did a good job. Till next time.

You Changed Me
BAM!! BOOM!! POW!! An explosion of important figures have served their time or are still in this world. These figures include George Washington, Oprah Winfrey, President Obama, Martin Luther King Jr, etc. The list could potentially go on for days since there are many people who contributed/contribute to this society. Of these incredulous people there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of which I would love to have a conversation with, but there is one out of them all that I want to talk to the most. His name is Hayao Miyazaki, his occupation is an animator/artist extraordinaire.
Now you might be asking yourself why him? Why out of all the people throughout history would she pick someone like him? He isn’t a political leader, someone historic, or well known. Well I know he doesn't have all of these features, but I don’t care about that, I care about what he is. He is an inspirational artist. He is the creator of many movies that I could only dream of creating. He is artistic genius! I aspire to be at his caliber of artistry. I want to have the drive that makes him develop so many incredible stories. I desire to be the female version of him, and to have people knowing me here and there from all over the world. It would be great to be famous without all the fame, because then I could live my life and enjoy it too. This is one dream of mine but another is to actually talk to him.
To be able to speak with Hayao Miyazaki would be the opportunity of a life time. I would be able to talk to him about where he got his inspirations from, why he made his stories, and why he is an artist. I would be able to congratulate and applaud him for being such a dramatic influence in my life. He made me push my artistic skills even further. He made me think that I could maybe be like him someday. To be an animator, an inspirer, a person who wants to share their story with the world would be one life time goal of mine that I would love to accomplish. I would tell him how proud I was of him; this might be a little unkiltered but I would say it anyway. In fact, if I were to meet him I probably would jumble up my words, and loose my train of thought because I would be so ‘ah struck’. Nonetheless, I would love every minute of it.
I imagine him to be such a kind fellow because if his soft and serene animations. He seems to me like a man who will push until the very end, and never stop trying. He probably would be so courteous as well and shake my hand and politely say, “Hello Gene’t, so nice of you to come and see me today.” Of course he would know my name because he would tell his people to read up one me. Also he would speak that little bit of English to me to show that he *cared. This is just a thought, but in reality it would be make my day. Though none of this may be true about him, I infer that he would be like this in my mind.
Hayao Miyazaki is an important person in my life. He might not be in yours or the next person, but that doesn’t necessarily matter to me. If the person makes the slightest positive difference in my life, they are important to me. They don’t have to be perfect, but if their assets outweigh their flaws then that makes them beneficial in my life. Mr. Miyazaki gave that to me and I will be forever grateful to him. I will close with this, thank you Mr. Miyazaki, thank you, and I hope to met you someday.
*His main language is Japanese since he lives in Japan.

Why I Write (ME ADDITION)
I am a not really a writer, but I do write and have opinions on writing. I like to write whenever I feel that it is necessary. Writing for me just has to flow right out of you. It isn't something that you over think about. When it is assigned I also write but that isn't the kind of writing that I enjoy the most. Writing is free expression on whatever you are feeling or need to express. I sometimes do this to just get my voice on a piece of paper instead of saying it with my voice verbally. This makes for a good writing in my opinion.
I write when I feel the need to. If I don't feel like it, then I won't write. When the thoughts and ideas are fresh in my head, that is the best time to write. Then you can put down so much more info then if you were just going into writing with no ideas or thoughts. There is always a good time to write but you have to keep in mind that it might not be good writing.
Me and writing aren't so close right now. We still need time to develop our relationship but I know that it will come with time. I just need to know what to say to writing, because right now it is a little awkward. The more I spend time with it the more I will like it and vise versa. Me and writing will be close one day I just know it. ;)
Our relationship is probably on the rocks because I have been neglecting it. I haven't been putting any effort into the relationship and have sot out other things/subjects. Writing got a little jealous and I guess it has the right to since I have lost interest in the past. We will just have to see what happens this year with our relationship.
OK so you heard about me and writing. You know my little rant on our relationship and have heard why I write. This is just my personal opinion on writing but if you have a different on feel free to comment below. Well then, Later Days!

About Moi
Ok, so i realized that I didn't really put anything down about myself. I have just been blogging about my day, my business, or other things. SOoo, let's get down to business. (Not to be redundant...) Well I am person who sometimes is extremely lazy and doesn't want to do ANYTHING!!! Then there are days when I want to get everything done perfectly and correct. I guess it is just and idiosyncrasy of mine. (By the way that is one of my favorite words *idiosyncrasy) I always am up for improving myself because I know I have flaws. I also trying to get a better understanding on life in general and I also want to understand people. To help me accomplish this goal I am taking Psychology in school. So far it is very interesting to me and I think it will stimulate me intellectually. Uhh...I began to talk about school...ok back to me.
So when I was little, (and kinda still today) I loved to memorize theme songs to cartoons. I am a little weird in that I memorized every theme song to every show that I ever saw. I sort of forgot the lyrics to songs now, so if you see me, the answer is no I can't sing the theme song to any cartoon right now. (sorry) Another thing about me is that I LOVE <3 Asian food!!! I could eat it everyday for the rest of my life. It is the only thing that won't make me gag when I am feeling nauseated. Ok fruit as well....but nothing else!! Don't get me wrong I also <3 my races food, Caribbean food, but if I had a choice one day it would be Asian food hands down. Now that you know a little about my childhood and food preference lets move on to another subject.
One more food topic; well, sorta food topic. CANDY!! I am obsessed with it. Don't give it to me! I WILL, REPEAT,WILL EAT IT ALL! I don't have any self control when if comes to candy. When I say candy I usually mean Sour Patch Kids, Jolly Ranchers, or Suckers. Chocolate is not something I get so obsessed about only because it makes me break out :/. Just yesterday I was eating a box of Sour Patch Kids and before I knew it they were all gone...Then I became sad :'( Then I wanted more but I didn't want to spend anymore of my hard earned cash. That's another thing about me, I don't enjoy spending all of my money. I guess no one really does but it bugs me because then I know I can't buy anything else. (If I spelled or made a grammatical error in any part of this post I am sorry...that is one of my weaknesses. Grammar and me don't really get along. Our relationship is sorta on the rocks right now...) Wow, this post is getting kinda long...almost done.
You may have noticed that i put a lot of "....." in post. That is only because sometimes I make things really awkward or I think things become awkward for no apparent reason. It's another idiosyncrasy of mine. I am trying to get better with that one though. If I get better at that I will try to look for a job. I don't really want one right at the moment but in the near future I will be searching. Fun stuff will be happening for me around the corner since I am going to be pushing my self to the limit and joining a lot of clubs. I want to do the best I possibly can in High school. It is my time to make a name for myself. No time for standing in the background, "I can't back down, there's to much at stake! This is serious!" <--- that was a little Disney moment right there. My family and I are major devoted fans to Disney. I might want to work for them someday but i most likely will work for myself. Entrepreneurs out there, watch out! OK ,well I think that is enough about me for now....Till we meet again.

Finally it is Friday!!
Thank goodness that it is friday because je suis tres fatique. a.k.a. I am super tired. I have a major homework load this year, well major for me, and so I have become more tired everyday. I think that it will get better once my body recognizes that the amount of sleep I am going to get is going to be the norm for a long time. :(
Well, on the positive side, this weekend I am going to get my business more situated. If you haven't visited my jewelry site yet it is genetsglassdesigns.etsy.com. I would recommend that you check the page after the weekend so that you can get the full effect of my pieces :D. I have created alot of new ones so it should add alot of interest to my site. I hope that you enjoy them as well and if you do just post a comment on either my facebook or just right here on my blog.

My words of advise ENJOY LIFE!!! Then again it wouldn't hurt to check out this blog from time to time. ;) Thanks for listening. Till we meet again.
