This semester in my psychology class, I had an assignment that consisted of watching the movie “the pursuit of happyness” and then write a paper about it answering some series of questions set by the teacher. By the way, the movie almost made me cry at the end. It was that emotional. Hey, real man cry! haha.
It got me thinking, we are all searching for happiness, even though ”happiness” might mean something different for different people. But generally, we might think that this feeling, or state of mind we call happiness, is a goal. But in reality, it’s a never-ending pursuit. I believe it to be so because when we think we have reached that high point, we want more. Therefore, we set another goal and if we reach that goal, we want more and are never fully satisfied. Do you agree? I also think that pursuing happiness has to do with trying to reach the point of being self-actualized.
So, what is your goal in life? Have you reached happiness, or are you still pursuing it? Most importantly, What does happiness mean for YOU? Feel free to share your thoughts!
Here is a paragraph of the paper I did for the movie “pursuit of happyness”:
As I have explained here, I believe that happiness is both a goal and a pursuit. For me, pursuing happiness means reaching and achieving financial and emotional stability. It also means finding love. But it is important to remember that happiness means different things for other people, and speaking of being financially secure, I do believe that money equals happiness in most cases, not all. I have experienced happiness in many occasions in my life. That includes having enough money in the bank, having good friends, travels I have done, being close to my family, and things to that effect. All these goals I have pursued, and still pursue for more of the same happiness. For example, I would like to travel more, and make new friends. Whatever happiness means to different people, we are all searching for it one way or another.

She did it. Hillary Clinton Takes the keystone State home with a 10 point lead. That is a big deal. I wonder if superdelegates are going to go for Hillary now that she won big in PA.
It’s going to be interesting to see what is going to happen in the next couple of weeks, I don’t know but maybe Elizabeth Edwards coming out to support Hillary? John Edwards Endorsing Hillary? Who knows.
Next primary will be May 6th in Indiana and North Carolina. Stay tuned fuckers!

It was around 4:40 am, when something totally unexpected awakened me, and many throughout the Midwest as well. It was none other than a 5.2 magnitude earthquake. It was really weird, I mean, no one would have imagined that the cause of their bed shaking was a damn earthquake.
This probably happens to a lot of people, when you are sleeping and having either a dream or a nightmare, and you suddenly wake up from a noise or whatever, and due to being still half sleep, you relate your dream you were having to what whatever is going on in reality. That happened to me this morning. I couldn’t tell if the shaking was in my dream or what.
The worse came when I realized I wasn’t dreaming. I was still half sleep, but knew that all the vibration was no dream. At first I only noticed the bed shaking, and that’s when I got like really scared. In my crazy mind, I somehow thought that the bed was shaking due to an evil spirit tormenting me, like in the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I was incredibly afraid, I probably turned pale white then.
Then I woke up a bit more and then after hearing the window shaking, I concluded the whole house was shaking! Silly thoughts started to come to my head. One was that an asteroid has hit some place on Earth. I know, crazy. Anyway, to make the story short, I soon realized it was a fucking earthquake and went back to bed shortly after.
Weird day it has been here in St. Louis. The rain is not helping either. Imagine if there was an earthquake and a tornado at the same time! The end of the world is coming!

Before 1972, Homosexuality was considered a mental disorder. It was listed on the Mental Health Disorders Glossary. Those foolish people thought that liking someone from the same gender as you was a choice, so they concluded that there must be something wrong with people that made that choice.
It’s funny how people made up “treatment” for Homosexuals to try to “convert” them. If that could be done though, can you have treatment for Heterosexuals so they start to like same sex folks? I don’t think so.
Thankfully, in 1972, The Gay Rights Platform was created at the National Coalition Of Gay Organizations, a convention held in Chicago.
Here are listed some of the rights, but for the complete Gay Rights Platform, Click Here.
1. Amend all federal Civil Rights Acts, other legislation and government controls to prohibit discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations and public services.
2. Elimination of tax inequities victimizing single persons and same-sex couples.
3. Elimination of bars to the entry, immigration and naturalization of homosexual aliens.
4. Federal encouragement and support for sex education courses, prepared and taught by gay women and men, presenting homosexuality as a valid, healthy preference and lifestyle as a viable alternative to heterosexuality.
5. Appropriate executive orders, regulations and legislation banning the compiling, maintenance and dissemination of information on an individual’s sexual preferences, behavior, and social and political activities for dossiers and data banks.
6. Immediate release of all Gay women and men now incarcerated in detention centers, prisons and mental institutions because of sexual offense charges relating to victimless crimes or sexual orientation; and that adequate compensation be made for the physical and mental duress encountered; and that all existing records relating to the incarceration be immediately expunged.

Well, If I were straight It would be, but still, this bitch shows how far one can go to reach success. Hillary really wants to win, and she really wants the power.
Here’s how Hillary’s past weekend went according to Alex:
Hillary starts out with a shot of Whiskey.
Then she joins the others for a second round.
Hillary seems to be enjoying it more, so she has another one.
At this point, drunk Hillary probably is thinking: “I am so gonna win next tuesday!”
“Screw Obama!, vote for me fuckers!”
Hill was on her own little world by now. A world where she ruled.
After the bar, Hillary and her peeps went on to a hotel party! She sure knows how to party like a rock star!

I am so excited! I just got a two-month-old Chihuahua puppy! He already peed in my bed but it’s all good. He is so cute! He’s also so tiny! I don’t even think he reaches 2 lbs.
He has no name yet. Any suggestions?
