Dear Mona,
I think that you should ask other girls who have been with what they think about him. But if you really like the guy you should try to flirt with him but try not to have sex with him until you know he's serious. Besides if he does have one night stands there's a good chance he has a baby and/or a disease but you should probably check with him and not assume.

Broken Joy
But they're so unattainable
outstretched arms only satisfy the fingertips,
just out of reach
She dreams of a revolution
Ready to tear down this make-believe world
a world of chaos and destruction
never rebuilding what they steal from generations
She wants to change this society
Heal the scars of daily living
Clear the marijuana smoke out of cancerous lungs
and help them breath deep
Maybe without the smoky haze they can see the possibilities of life
She wants to make them
close their legs and open their minds, embracing hope
Teach them to love the life their living
She wants to save the world but they resist
Determined to deviate from morality and live hopeless
How dare she ask them to change?
-They beat her, they break her, they teach her her place
sending her dreams crashing to the ground
She no longer aspires to be anymore than this
They've made her just the same
They've done her just like the others
Sever the heart and leave the withered soul
She's filled with sorrow,
but sorrow is only the ruin left from her broken joy

Ignorance On The Radio
Every day I listen to the radio on my way to school and I can't believe the stuff that I hear. One radio host was not suggesting but flat out saying that Collin Powell was only supporting Barrack Obama because he's black. I listened to the clip of Collin Powell saying that he supported Obama and he had plenty of valid reasons for being one of his supporters. Now to say that Collin Powell was doing that because of race is suggesting that he's not smart enough to have some legitimate reasons for endorsing Obama.
Some of the radio hosts are okay and they let people express their opinions whether they agree with them or not. They let them finish what ever they have to say and then they go on with the conversation. They always have a calm tone and don't get upset. Other people on the radio get loud and angry and they cut people off just because they don't like what they're saying.
PS: Who can really take Sarah Palin seriously after this stunt, but you have to admit it was hilarious.

Random Conversations
Any way I was in my third period trying to focus on my warm-up and this guy sitting diagonal from me is going on and on about how he had a orange tongue ring to match his shirt that day but he ended up taking it out. The guy in front of me can't even get past the first question on the warm-up because he thinks 3 times 4 is a trick question. His friend said it was because he's on drugs, I thought it was a joke, but you never know with this school. At least he showed up to class, other people are still in the hall way chatting up their friends. When they do get to class they rarely do the work. Some people are talking on the phone and listening to iPods but most people are carrying on the the most ridiculous conversations. I usually try to block them out when I have work to do but then I realized this would be a good thing to report back on in creative writing.
This one guy in front of me is telling the guy diagonal from me that he should stop crossing his legs like a girl, but the other guy says hell no and then goes on to tell him how he plans to wear a skirt the next day and that he was going the get tracks in his head and that he was also going to get a bra. My overactive imagination could easily create that image but I was afraid to see what that would look like.
Later on in the class some people are still hoplelessly confused about the actual assignment while the girl beside me is trying to think up ways to get people to vote for her to be homecoming queen. By this time I had already finished the work and I was multi-tasking by doing practice problems while also listening to other peoples conversation. I saw one guy talking to this girl beside him but I couldn't hear what he was saying. The next thing I know some other guy walks up to him and tells him that he's doing too much at one time. He said that he should be careful or he'll become a little slut like him and that only he could do that job. I thought that was rude but I couldn't help laughing on the inside.
Meanwhile one of my class mates was writing the notes up on the board, but I think me and this other girl were the only ones taking the notes. The guy in front of me doesn't even have a clue what is on the board. He asked his friend what that trick is doing up at the board and he responded by saying that he didn't know but that she was taking a long ass time doing God knows what and that nobody really cared.
After lunch I was sitting in class wondering what the hell is wrong with some of my classmates, here I am working hard to get my grade but other people are out in the hall way talking on the phone and not even prentending to care but I always get over because they keep me entertained when I complete my work and need something the do.
