Freedom Writer’s ~ based on the book by The Freedom Writer’s
“The Freedom Writer’s Diary”, tells the true story of a teacher (Erin Gruwells
and 150 students at Woodrow Wilson High School located in Long Beach, California, and how
they all accomplished what most would call a remarkable turn within the
educations of today and the students who don’t make it because they get caught
up in criminal actions, revenge, hatred, or getting with the wrong crowd. There is potential in everyone to learn all
they need to make it in this world. Well
this story shows that possibilities can in fact happen for the greater good
when you apply yourself with courage and accomplishment. It’s all in just how hard you are willing to
put forward and build towards your goals.
This is my new favorite movie, book, story....
The Freedom Writers name is a pun on the name of the civil
rights group The Freedom Riders. The
Freedom Writers Foundation, in which does exist, has continued with the same kind of exercises
and philosophy that is very similar to those used in the original class from which
this movie was based on, and still tracks the progress of the original and
continuing classes that is just as strong even today. Students do have a choice but in some cases
things can’t be avoided and them hurtles can get deadly when living in an area
known for violence. Plus even corruption
within the school system that can either work for you, against you, or with
you!
This movie is a really good movie so check it out, its educational and dramatic! Watch it then let me know what your thoughts
are! You can rent the movie, watch it on
TMC-W, channel 329 on dish, or read the book!

OMG...I just LOVE to watching the shuttles and rockets go up! My favorite is the Night launches with the way it just totally lights up the sky with its bright engine fuel burning colors! The last launch with the Endeavor was just as special and beautiful! Watching it from across the Lagoon is exciting! Everyone gets a kick out of watching!!! And I do mean everyone!
There were thousands of spectators that proudly watched as the Endeavor brightens up the skies even bright then the full moon which just happen to be shining brightly itself! Vehicles all up and down along the roads waiting for count down! This is something that everyone shares proudly and cheering throughout the whole experience!
And let me tell you about the traffic from those thousands of people! It wasn't too bad getting to your chosen destination but let me tell you...its a MAD HOUSE when its all over and people are returning home! BUMPER to BUMPER on US1, I95, 528, 406, 407, HWY50! And I mean BUMPER to BUMPER TRAFFIC JAMS GALORE for many, many miles down each main road! We pulled over like some folks did and was giving things on the road time calm down. Well I'm here to tell ya...it went on till way after midnight in some areas! Glad I know them back roads but even with that knowledge, you found yourself somewhere along the travel back in a putt putt situation!
But all in all....THAT WAS SOME LAUNCH HUH!!!! GO ENDEAVOR...what a sight!

I guess you would say this is another one of those "Believe It or Not" pictures of figures showing up in the oddest places and things. No this time it isn't Jesus or the Mother Mary but rather what looks like to me to be the figure of a WOLF Head!
One New Years Eve, my husband, my cousin, and myself decided to bring in the New Year by building a bond fire with our Christmas Tree which was a beautiful Blue Spruce...one of the nicest trees I've even had in which was given to us by my X-son n law's family tree farm in Virginia! While getting the fire burning really good and around midnight, I took some pictures of the fames and fire flies it was making because it was spectacular in a most unusual was! We danced around the fire making noises like a war party enjoying ourselves immensely!
Just today I decided to go through all my old pictures. While going through them I ran across one of those pictures from that night and noticed something I never noticed before!
The Picture..............

I did a double take when I saw this because I couldn't believe what I thought I was seeing here within this picutre so I scanned it to my laptop to take a closer look and get a bigger picture of just what I was seeing! The shape looked clear as day! It looks to me like a Wolf Head within the fire flies and above the fire flames. So just to get a even closer look, I cropped that area of the picture and got this..............

There is no kind of trick photography of any kind here, trust me, because I can prove it with the original photo along with all the other photos taken from that night of this same fire! Now I know for sure I wasn't just seeing things!
What do you think and see?

A bit different from fiscal battered abuse which leaves marks throughout the body and visible to the human eye and can heal but leave a mark in memory, the mental cruelty of verbal abuse can last a life time! Both causes scare within a persons mind! A person will change from what they once where and even possibly who they once were meant to be. But when it comes to your marital best friend to who you have committed your life too, years of abuse either way affects a person and changes within them grow into someone your not! Not only is this so by marital stand point but also, parents, business co-worker, a family member, best friends, and even just by simple words through blogs or media!
The neglects of promises once made seems to be forgotten in time and the things we use to love the most slowly moves from out of the heart you once carried dear to you. You become torn away and become a stranger even to your own self. Mental break downs occur with those who finally gives up the fight back to their salvation and faith within ones self…it is destroyed and the person you once were will never live again but the other person you became is who you are now!
There are some has the fight within them and could possibly succeed where others have failed and grow stronger from all they have learn from experience. Mind over matter can be the right path to walk if you show strength over the boundaries you must hurtle yourself through. You show to be stronger to overcome the daily abuses that life and others try to control as to make you their slave. It’s up to you which path you so choose and its up to you to keep the control of your own destiny and self reliance.
There are sometimes sacrifices though and ones in which you may not expect to happen when you loose yourself with the pain of struggle to figure out how to overcome it. Loved ones may not understand what you are going through but they stand beside you no matter and worry as you would them. The quest for ones self can place anxiety on others with confusion and may put a barrier to being more open and honest that you do not wish to stress them over but somehow it must come out! At times a complete stranger can be that relief from one who cares enough to listen, just listen! A complete understanding of the issues becomes a plus when another can relate but can also give either good or bad advice in which is freely offered. So once again you may come across yet another hurtles of choice.
After so many years of passing day after day let downs, hurtful statements, and put downs…one can’t help but even question their own self. You want to leave it all behind but yet another hurtle prevents you from doing so. You find yourself with no other choice but to try and find that way out but optical continue to get in the way making it impossible to be on your own and regain what you once had within yourself. No matter how many times you come so close to accomplishment the wall builds back up for you to be able to once and for all get through. No matter how strong you may be, even time can give an affect to your mental stability!
What say YOU?

What really got me while watching FOX news was about someone that placed a look a like Obama figure hanging from a tree on a college campus and now the FBI may investigate it as a hate crime! Even though it is halloween and things like this should be expected, this action that was apparently done by a college student is taken by a threatening crime of racisum and hate!!!
But yet someone else takes a manikin dressed up like Palin hanging from a noose and stated as that being OK! Sounds pretty racist to me when one is OK and the other isn't and considered a hate crime! It would seem that maybe some favoritisum is being politically protected by only one side! Now if those suggested political nooses where switched around on location...would it matter or looked at any differently?
So who's to say that its good enough and OK to do that towards Palin but aggressive and criminal when its done towards Obama? Twisted things like this is one of the problems for people to knowing the diverse differences between which is RIGHT and which is WRONG!
I don't know about you but this, to me, is showing a one sided hate crime which took presidence over the other...Both were wrong! What it shows me is its OK for a white person to be noosed but against the law on a black person! {Now that's what I call being one sided, racist, & sexist all in one shot!} Now I just can't help but wonder what culture those people are who had Palin displayed like that, plus also displayed McCain as a Halloween ordiment as well (which wasn't shown on FOX but only stated)!!!
What do you think? Is one being racist and the other not racist? Shouldn't both be looked at as the same or not?

It is getting closer to that Halloween Trick or Treater day that all kids look forward too, including the big kids like me that wil never grow up...never grow up!
Getting all dressed up, going from door to door collecting them treats! Those kids are proud of their picked costume and they just love showing it off. But with some trick or treaters it may not be as much fun because they may have to travel into different areas in order to pick up some good treats for the collection! The picture below explains it all because some neighborhoods may look like this.......

Poor sad little faces that I know I wouldn't want to see happen with any child! But it is a reality that is now to be delt with!
Do you know of any neighborhoods like this? ...I hope not! Are you set on the area to take your kids for their enjoyable Halloween treats and are familiar of its surroundings and of that neighborhood? ...I hope so!
Remember to check out everything your child collections from others especially those who travel else where! Only you know what to look for....they don't! Follow the 3 B's...Be Smart, Be Careful, Be Safe!!!!
Have a Happy & Safe Halloween Everybody!!!

I have been hearing all about the state by state campaigning and voting for here in the US but I haven't heard anything about our soldiers over seas...don't they get to put their votes in? Doesn't their votes count as well? And with their votes added into the tally box, I wonder what the percentage between the candidates is with their votes counted in!
I know that everything has been all happening here and everything we have been hearing about is from state to state so FOX, I would like to know just where our soldiers stand and how does their votes stand with the rating of this election! SO HOW ABOUT IT? Does anyone know the insight of this with our soldiers?

Yep...here comes another weekend full of FUN and ADVENTURE which will cover different other areas besides Daytona! Daytona was the start of it all but now has expanded both far and wide throughout other areas in Florida, including Orlando!
I like and prefer the Ormond Beach area! That place has really grown and bikers have a wider verity of entertainment, products, food and thousands of Biker's! The only minus is all the T's still say Daytona on them and I really feel like Ormond Beach should get their own honorable label just like all other areas should have their own! In fact, even the "Destination Daytona", in which I have nick named "Biker Town", is located in Ormond Beach and not Daytona!
Of course and as always...Be Safe, Be Sensible, and Be Alert! The three "B's" should keep you from harms way while feeling that freedom of the Wind and the joys of riding! Along with that note: All you newbies on the roads now, (with the increase of motorcycle sales), stick with the three "B's" and you are always welcome to ride and join in my group anytime on the open roads...we'll look after yah!
So this weekend, for me that is, it's Ormond Beach Bound for Biketoberfest 2008! And always remember that Bike Fest's aren't just for Bikers but for everyone to enjoy! All are always WELCOME!
Do you have any favorite areas that you like to go during the Biketober Festival for this coming weekend? Or do you have other plans...please share!

I just love October and the number of Biker activities that come with it! This weekend is filled with the thundering sound of motorcycles as they travel the roads into Sanford and along Lake Monroe! The street is blocked off from everything but bikes as the entertainment calls to you! Even FOX's own Jim Van Fleet and The Riegn will be there to perform!
Three days of FUN & ADVENTURE, Entertainment & Food, Drinks & Products, Custom Bikes & Bikers! YAHOOOOO...I just love October Activities!!! I will try and get pictures to post in my album for yah...hopefully you will be able to get some of your own too as well! Maybe I'll see you there! If not then I hope you are enjoying yourself at one of the events that Christine has told you about or what ever it may be...be safe and please look out for those bikers on the roads!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I am one of the unwilling participant that found out I have been supporting Obama and his campaign without knowing it or being told any different! I feel VIOLATED! My Rights VIOLATED!
You want to know just how much of a back stabbing dagger Obama really is to the American People…Well try taking campaign support from us without our permission, (because it’s legal), forcing us (those who do not support him), to sponsor his campaign (because its legal)! Here’s how….
He has his own Station in which is included within your satellite or cable channels! Now, the station as you will see title “Obama’s Plan for America” (Paid Ad)! I don’t know what the number channel would be for anything else but for Dish Network ~ channel 73~Obama! So just to let all you unwilling victims know….You are supporting him rather you like it or not!!!
Now I’m wondering! Is forced unwilling campaign support Legal? How do you feel about supporting someone campaigning whom you don’t support? Is this the kind of person for the position of Commander & Chief….someone who is already using the people rather they like it or not?
I shouldn't have to support something unless I so choose to expecially when it comes to political gain nor should I be forced into providing support! I don't send McCain money so what makes Obama so all mighty? I HAVE BEEN VIOLATED UPON!!!

Thank goodness at least the gas is coming down on price but what about everything that was raised now due to the increased pricing of fuel! Will prices of everything else effected by the economy start also coming down? A pondering question left to be answered!!!
But as a little reminder...please don't forget what happened and don't let this change much of your driving habits you have had to learn how to do! Use this knowledge to keep things going as it may gradually get better and better by everyone using what we have learned and make it work for us for a change! This effect on gas prices has to be from people being conservitive! WE did it with the help of Mother Nature and her not slamming us with Hurricanes this year so take advantage of the good that is now showing and work with it...not against it and gets us right back to where we were! Let's keep that within our history and past and work forward as the wiser!!! We my have another chance at this so don't waste it! Let's get America BACK!!! Let's Show Our Government just how truly little they are!
Save the FUEL! Put things RIGHT AMERICA! WE Can Do this!!! Everything went haywire with the rise of prices...now we have the chance to keep it going our way and all we needed was that relief with fuel prices and we all worked hard to fight through it so why not take advantage of the very thing that was a big part of bringing us down! United We Stand! Use what we have all started learning and have learned on what is needed to make things right! Let's really make the Greedy look bad and stand out, then bring them down! America Shall Rise Again "By the People"!

I first have to give double KUDOS to that brave, brave mother that did it all right and turned a tragedy into a blessing! She did everything she could so "My friends...a toast to this years Mother of the Year 2008"! She now has her own mission and I wish her all the best! YOU GO GIRL!
Now seriously people, when there is the question of how this could happen, then things are tested and eliminated off the list, this mother has stated the Machine started up while they were getting off the thing, dragging both mother and child for a Really Wild and Scary Ride! What other direction could the cause and reason for this to happen go?
If it is programmed to run on its own, then of course other things would have to work with it like a sensor...equipment and programs are very well known to go bad! But if it isn't that, then there is only one way and direction it could go, right...the manual operator right? It should be simple to solve...or is it!
It is also known for electrical surges, brake failure, or mechanical things can have a mind of its own sometimes! Until everything is eliminated including the unthinkable, you never really know even with what should be for easy open and shut cases. Things can happen especially in October!
What do you think happened to cause that ride to take off like that? It was claimed it took off on its own, so FOX stated and by both the operator and (Victim) mother! Have any thoughts?

I had started cooking dinner while Titanic was on! All of a sudden, plus I forgot about, they cut off the movie to show the end of the game between the Socks and Rays! I had totally forgotten about it and was glad they interrupted the movie to show it! Things were really intense with the game and our eyes became glued to the TV screen and the game. Even through all the excitement and the movie cut-off interruption…what do you suppose happened at the most important part of the game?
We were watching the game as it became more intense on the last inning! Then those darn Commercial Ads just had to come on and interrupt during the most intense part of the whole game…next thing I knew once the game came back on…IT WAS OVER ~ WE MISSED IT! We didn’t even get to watch the end of it and only hear about the Socks taking the victory over our Rays!!! Boy what a let down through all ends! Funny how a movie wasn’t as important for the game but them darn Commercials were!!! I was Major League PISSED! They can mess with what ever program I may have been watching for something as important as that game but NO COMMERCIAL comes close as important as the final part and results of the game in which they had already interrupted the movie over by NO MEANS!!!!!! How dare they...and How Rude!
How would you feel?

This is a day for tears for all Floyd Heads like me. A great loss to musicians today when the announcement was made of Rick's passing! It has not yet been said what form of cancer it was that took this great artist away from us.
Rick Wright, founder of Pink Floyd was a great self-taught keyboard player appeared on the group's first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, in 1967 alongside lead guitarist Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and Nick Mason. One of the BEST musicians, song writters, performer and entertainer that is already a big part of history and live on through all who has appreciated a great man! Rest in Peace My Brother!
I have been a Floyd fan since I was 10 years of age which would have made me a fan since the first album released! So what if I'm old...I know it and still ROCK ON with the best of them! I will always be one of their biggest fans till the day I pass on! So what can I say....I'm a proud FLOYD HEAD!!!
Please give a moment of silence for a great musician......................
MAY HE CONTINUE TO PLAY ON FOR THE ANGEL'S IN HEAVEN!
