Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am so excited to see my brothers and enjoy some good food. For me my favorite part of the holidays is seeing family and spending that quality time with them. I don't get to see my family a lot aside from my mom and when I do they always seem to be arguing about one thing or another so I am looking forward to tomorrow and hoping that we can all just have a good time and enjoy each others company.

This year I would have to say I am great full for many things, my mother which I am always great full for but this year I'm excpecialy great full for hear because last year a little before this time my mom was really sick and I didn't know if she was ever going to be the momma she was before she got sick. So last year I was great full to have her with me and this year I am even more great full because she is back to the way she was before and its great that she made it through!

I am also great full for this school, without this place I wouldn't be graduating high school, I probably wouldn't even be attending school. Not only that I have learned so much about art and I have relized how importend art is to me. Also the teachers here, we (the students) are so lucky to have great teachers that build relationships with us that is hard to find in any other school. This is a place where the teacher are not just our teachers but our friends too.

A couple other things I am great full for is my family and friends, they pick me up when I'm down and push me to go some where when I am up, and I would have to say I couldn't ask for better family or friends. I feel I am a lucky person and to have these thing that I have is amazing!

TGIF

I am so happy that today is Friday, it seems like I have been waiting all week for this day to come.
Sometimes though it seems like I look forward to Fridays every week. My friend Joe goes back to the Navy this morning, I will really miss him but it was so good to be able to see him and spend some time with him. It has been so long since our whole crew has gotten together like we did! We all got to reminece on old times and all the stupid things we used to do in middle school. Its crazy how when your in middle school you think that you mature and grown but then when you really do grow up you relize that you were not even close to being mature or grown. Another thing that I find funny is that you live your life day by day and you just think oh same stuff new day but then you look back and everything is so much different. The world is a crazy place and the way life works is too...

Today I woke up feeling really tired and I must have slept wrong because my neck is killing me. I think I have come to the relization that other people are going to do what they do even if you dont want them too or try to talk them out of it. Its hard though when its your friend, I dont mean to seem like a parent or anything but I care. I dont want to see my friend have to go through the life lesson to find out that her plan might not work, but I have tried to discuss this with her and now there is not much more. I just have to sit back and see what happens and if she needs me give her my support.

The lyrics I chose for this blog are "Dreamin" by Young Jeezy. This song is slightly vouger but it has meaning. I actually like this song because in a way it relates to me. I dont always have it easy, I have had a lot of struggles. At one point in my life I was going down a a bad road and I got so far down it that I would have never thought that I would ever be back on track or have been attending school again. But I did and I am and when I make a bid accomplishment in my life I look back at where I was to where I am now and I think man I must be dreaming!

[verse 1]
Born september 28 my life far from great
No food on the table so we fought for steak
But im so close to jail feels lyke im so close to hell
Moms smokin rocks same shit im sellin

She addicted to tha high im addicted to tha cash
Almost put my hands on here when i caught her in my stash

[verse 3]
I was young n dumb wit a pocket full of cash
Posted on the block wit a pocket full of glass

Ima prediter i prey 3 times a day
Man u wants said one day u'll hav kids

Ima soul survivor we far from a crook
She always said i was a lot smarter then i looked
So i took my dreams n made it some thousands
Then i took my life n i made it a album i must be dreamin'

Emotions Like Fire

Emotions Like Fire
They told me to write and use my pencil,
my brother always told me never copy like stencils,
so i thought real hard and used my mind,
as the words flowed out one line at a time,
filled with emotions like love and fear,
thoughts so deep I shed some tears,
but my pencil kept moving and my hand grept tighter,
as the paper filled up with emotions like fire.

About Me

I am Jamilyn but I prefer to be called Jamie. I enjoy writing but this is my first time doing the whole blogging thing. My favorite movies are American History X, BLOW and Feel the Noise. My favorite book is Because of Winn-Dixie. My favorite T.V shows are That's 70's show, CSI Miami and Cold Case. I really enjoy music, I like listening to it when I am upset or angry..it seems to calm my nerves. I mostly listen to rap and hip hop but I like a wide range of music and can jam to pretty much anything except country.
If I could pick a few quotes that I live by I would say they are "Treat others how you want to be treated," I am always cautious of others feelings, I know that I would not want some one to treat me bad or hurt my feelings, and Karma "what goes around comes around." Karma is something I strongly believe in.
My hope for the world is that one day people wont be judgemental of other people and that people would be more cautious of our enviorment. This is our world and we have to live here, so do our children and I want the best for them and for us.
Some things I really love is my family, my friends, art and my school. All these things have very much importance to me because my family is there for me and when they aren't my friends are. And my school is importend to me because the people here actually make me feel like I am worth it. That I am worth their time. Some things I do for hobbies are draw, take and develop photography and write. I often use my different art forms to express my feelings and emotions.
I have always liked to write I just didn't always think i was that good at it. I mostly would write when I was down or angry about something. Once I actually wrote something and I liked what it was that I wrote I started to do it more and more. Now look at me I am writing a blog.
