Valley girl vernacular:

Omg the only way to like avoid this problem of like splitting  up is to like come together with God. and like love, walk and like talk with god, as one person, and i mean like always stay together and treat each other like you know the good way. Not only that but we have to like make sure we go through our things and get rid of anything that is last season and give them to you know like the needy.  We must always stay together and love each other. We have to like to do everything together cry, put on make up, and even walk our dogs together. We have to always think of the people like around us and think about keeping the peace and if we do that god will be happy with us.

 

 

British vernacular:

You see God will command a blessing on our ways, so we can see so much more of his wisdom, goodness, and truth then we had been aquatinted with and discover that the God of Israel is with us. When ten of us will be able to face many of our enemies. Our story will be remembered by succeeding generations. AS the Lord made it for New England. That we shall be a city on the hill. Everyone is watching us, so if we are naughty and do wrong with our god in what we do, he will withdraw his present from us. We will be made a story.

 

Stereotypical black vernacular:

And everybody in da world gotta let the enemies talk. Let em talk! Let em talk about God and teachers and all-uh-dat. And anybody who talkin' bout praying to multiple gods and having servants. I'm like What? There is only ONE God! Forget all of them! They really need to shut up!

 

Sub Vernacular (  a way of speaking created by SLA students ):

Listen don't be a sub. You have to follow what the lord says in his commandments so we can go forward and bring some children into the world and the Lord won't firesub us and neglect us forever. But forreal formal we could sub his commandments. And follow other Gods to help ourselves but I don't want the boul to spaz out and kill us.

 

Stereotypical black vernacular:

We gotta live… So our children could live. Do what God says. Listen to him because he da only Lord and the Only way!

A brodells upon a hill.

 

The bronely way to brahvoid this shipwreck and to brovide for our bro-sperity is to follbro the counsel of madden, to do justly, to love mercy, to walk bro-ly with our Brod. We must party together in this frat as one bro. We must entertain each other in brotherly broffection with natty ice and madden. We must upbrold a bromiliar bromerce in all madden losses and other unbroly conduct. We must delight each brother, make brothers bronditions our brown brojyce brogether. Loose brogether, laybro brogether, and suffer brogether. Always having brofore our eyes, our bromission and brommunity in the party, our bromunity, as bros of the same frat. Bro shall we keep the bro-unity of the bro, and the bond of madden. The lord will be our bro (broseiden, king of the brocean.) and delight to party among us, as his bros, and will brommand, a bro-blessing upon us in all our games, bro that we will see bro more of his brodome, brower broodness, and bruth, than formerly we have been broquainted with. We will find that the COD of the internet is among us, when a bros worth of two six packs shall be able to pwn a thousand noobs. When he shall make us party and bro, that bros shall talk of broceeding botations, The cod makes it like Brohio; We must brosider that we shall be as a Brodells upon a hill, the eyes of all bros are on us, and… Tl;dt, broever, we shall brummarize.

 

All bros must bro together in the same frat in order to enjoy the broness of their natty ice and games of madden and ultimate Frisbee, the life of the bro must be always brogether, and never bropart. If a bro will work with his fellbro bros, then he shall have brocess, however if a bro loses touch with his bromances, that bro shall lack the brobility to broceed. If all bros stick together, we will have as many good parties with natty ices, madden, Frisbee, and plenty of noobs to pwn, as there are affliction shirts in brodells, hence to say, we will be like a brodells upon a hill.

Our version of John Winthrop's "City on a Hill" speech, written in the vernacular of Ms. Echols by Jeff, Bach, Will, and Thea.

Okay, so we have these little people living on a teeney weeney little hill and they’re all “We’re tiny little people and everyone’s looking up at us and stuff!”  So then one of them is like, “Praise Jesus!” and other spiritual religious-y stuff.  Yayyyy, Jesus!  He’s awesome.  But the tiny little people have to work together and COLLABORATE, right?  Woooo, collaboration!  And everyone ELSE, the rest of the world, is watching them like WE’RE WATCHING YOU TINY LITTLE PEOPLE!  And Jesus is watching them too like AHMYGAAAAD, I’M JESUS!  So then the tiny little people have to do a good job of being nice to each other and working together or people will be like “You tiny little people suck and Jesus sucks,” AHMYGAAAAD!  And that would suck, becaaaauuuse, Jesus is really awesome and he doesn’t suck!  So, yeah, and now... the tiny little people have to work hard and care for each other and be a community, WOO, community!  Because otherwise they’ll die OHNOOOOO AHMYGAAAAD!  So, guys, like, for real, seriously, collaborate and stuff, YAYYYY!

Yesterday was my Mom's birthday so my Aunt took us out to eat at the Cheese Cake Factory. This was my favorite dish... Oreo Cheesecake!

Crossing boundaries , Aye ? 
I wonder how my 17 year old sister see's "crossing boundaries."
I also wonder how one of my younger brother see's "crossing boundaries."
I just had a brief discussion with them 2 about "crossing boundaries" and how they see it. 

My first attempt at cooking.

Regardless of all the crap I have been through in my high school career because of the school district. I love them deep down inside, and here is why.

NHD Benchmark Reflection

 

            Johniera and I chose this topic because Ms. Laufenberg suggested when we were searching for project ideas. We chose to present it as a  documentary because there was an endless amount pictures available to us to show the Indian boarding schools and the affects they had amongst the students. We ran into trouble when my computer broke 3 weeks prior to when it was due, which limited us in having a lot of time to find pictures. Disregarding the stress that came along with it, the final product turned out nice. The collaboration and communication went well in our group. If I could do it over, I would add more video. I learned about the Native Americans and the trials and tribulations they went through, throughout the times of European explorers. I also learned about how their heritage was desecrated through the times because of the boarding schools.

You can't even imagine the things that I've seen. A cat climbed up the side of my house and ate my window plant!. I once witnessed a petite Chinese florist tackle a homeless man who stole a bouquet! The Kool-Aid man broke my chimney! Paula Deen used Pam. This is the best I can do on short notice. The rest are exclusively about cats and I don't want to get repetitive.

A real friend knows everything, especially when you're not telling the truth.

I listed out some of the things I'd do in a day, and put them in order form waking up to having lunch, which is half way through the day. 

Well, after doing this project I learned that being able to speak the basic words of a daily routine from waking up to sleeping and all that in between in spanish. And that can seriously benefit me in the future, when something comes along and is somehow relevant to it.  

My final product isn't all that though. I could've done some more work and added more creativity to it. 

If I could do this all over again, I'd consider on adding the creativities, and some humor to it. 

The project was tolerable, it wasn't that big of a pain. Overall I was ok with this. 

Don't know how we came up with these things but we do ^_^

Loving you is painful. So Die!

Why are putting High School on a pedestal?

Letting this "bitch stole my man" drama cloud your judgment

When truth be told this boy isn't even worth one drop of the perspiration rolling down your forehead

 

Why are putting High School on a pedestal?

Letting these childish labels like jock and nerd mess with your head

When you know they don't control your future

Knowing that one day you might see Johnny begging you for a dollar

And your thinking "Dang, I thought he was gonna be a baller."

 

Why are putting High School on a pedestal?

Your following the head cheerleader so you can get a status boost

While everybody knows in the real world that

Coattail riders have little self worth

 

So why are you putting High School on a pedestal?

Knowing that it’s just a 4 year phase

An obstacle in your way of

Living up to your full potential

 

So dry your tears

Dust yourself off

Stop being a puppet

And just be yourself

 

And realize that everything is gonna be ok

As long as you realize that High School doesn’t last forever

That statuses fade away

And remember to keep High School off that pedestal

Because it’s not even worth looking up to

 

 

 

 

 

This project was really helpful for me. Yes I made some mistakes but I learned so much more spanish did Then I did before doing this Project. It was really fun and really interesting. Like I said thier is a few mistakes in my final product but I believe it was pretty good. I think I will get a B. It's not perfect because I will admitt I procastinate but I think I turned out really well and funny.

When you left my heart fell apart

There was no sunshine, stars - there was no reason to stay alive.

I wish I could go back in time, and tell you everything you meant to me.

There is nothing I can do now, but cry at nights when I close my eyes and see your face. 

I don't know if you were a bad man or not.

All I know is that if I could go back in time, I would spend more time with you.

Well, I guess all I wanted to say is that I'll always love you dad.
