Awwwwwwww Sugar Foot...!! (AE#6)

Ohhhh boyy I have come to realize that I have not done my blogging #6. So harsh and forgetful of me. It was very nice blogging with you all. Especially the ones who commented on my blog entries. It was an honor just to read your comments. Blogging really is not my thing at all, but it's cool. For the most part I experienced something new. Blogging is one unique tool on the internet for this generation and more, maybe we will hear from new people that come forth. I hope to see you soon bloggers but for now.................IM OUT..!!

Identity (SG#5)

I am a prime example of a change when it comes to media today. Such as in the music industry. I use to be this big bully. (yeah I know, How can she be a bully as small as she is? -The bigger you are the harder you fall- is what I was taught growing up in a bad environment), but that's besides the point. I would listen to that hard core rap music, the underground rappers and the thugged out music labels and everything. As soon as I left my home town my life changed and I found myself wanting to be wit God. I found myself wanted to make a change. I started praying for better days and look what happened. Now I resign in Arizona, and I'm surrounded by loving kind no drama life people. Yes I still have fun and chill but I am now fully aware that I am a child of God and always will be no matter what anybody has to say. Uploaded here is a video of me ministering to my church on youth Sunday. We also had a conference that day too. I love my church family. Listening to Gospel music and praying in a dark cold (at times) room, by myself made me who I am and made me one more step closer to the man above. So music to me has changed my life for the good. It had some type of power I'd admit to it. Please watch and feel free to comment.

The Power of the Media (AE#5)

The main media that I feel that may have some sort of power of people today is music and the way it is presented to our generation today. Talking about the medium in class this week has not made me think of medium more than I have ever thought about it before. I say this because I always think about, if they news wasn't around where would we be? If music wasn't around, what would we sing? If technology wasn't around, who would we entertain? It's really funny how I do believe at times that the medium can have such power of any generation today. Whether it is within the rap music, the gospel music, the reggae music, television, movies, games etc. you name it. It has some sort of power., but only to a certain extent though. Only if you allow it to move in your life, will it have that type of power? Music has been around for a while now and so has technology so without it is like DANGER for us. The media was made up to give feedback, to give encouragement, to prepare people for the good and the bad, to also aware people of the knowledge of the highly spoken wisdom that was passed down from old time generations. The medium is very important in our lives today, HANDS DOWN. Being the fact that in this class we are touching bases with it, it doesn't make me feel or think differently, highly,  or poorly about the medium. I still feel the same. As long as I have my music, my life is complete.

Death in a Home (SG#4)

Death.....What is it?

A Home....Where you stay a bit.

Death.....Who gives it?

A Home.....A blessing well lifted.

Death.....When is it?

A Home...When he says, "soldiers it's time to sit but not quit it."

Death....Why is it?

A Home...Because its welly fitted.

Death...How is it?

A Home....You'll never know until God says you're truly finished.

Taking in what's been going on in my life and watching this film, Michael Moore’s film Capitalism: A Love Story, it really had me thinking to myself about my life and my families life and the way they're living. Death is a true meaning of the truth, while we are living in this place of life where all we get is whole bunch of lies. People come into your life for a season some may even come for a reason, but in the end Life Goes On.

Home Wrecking Movies (AE#4)

After watching Michael Moore’s film Capitalism: A Love Story, in class, it kind of touched me a little. Being that the fact that me and my family are one big helping family. Just seeing people get treated the way the did in this film hurted my feelings. I have a big heart for strangers as well. I was always taught, "if you got it, give it. If not help get it to give it." -Samuel Mayes Jr. & Stephanie McKinnon- In this film people were getting put out of there own homes. People were basically getting robbed right under their noses from the banks and the government. It was super horrible. In some parts of the film I had to block it out or I would have really gotten emotional. To me I felt that, even though the film was based on true life events. Nobody should be treated that way, shape, or form. I feel that if you have a job that way you should get rid of it. It shouldn't be a job where others are putting other down or out of their homes at all. I mean think about it......If you had that type of job....and it just so happens to be your turn to get told to leave a home where you resigned for years after years. How would you feel? Plus not have anywhere else to go. We weren't told that we had to leave our homes before. Not that I know of so far, but I do know that my grandmothers owned their homes. Full out THEIRS. If someone told my grandmother that she had to leave her home that she and her husband put sooooooo much work into. Ohhhhh trust and believe me, the little attitudes or the little upset people in this film, would not do anything compared to the temper of our family. We would have fought to the end. People in this film didn't have back-ups or anyone/anything to run to. This film was hard to take in but God knows what's going on in this world and he don't like ugly.

Saints v. Cowboys (SG#3)

ASU AE#3

Beings that I am a student who would like to join ASU later on in my young adult years. I would say that the new season/semesters that they are trying to bring in, is a wonderful idea for me. Only to a certain extent. I'm a student all about the education, no matter what or how long it takes. I believe that those with the best education is those who will end up to make it further in life than a normal person/student. I'm not one of who would like to be study off campus. I believe in getting up and going to school. I can't or never forced myself to learn from an online website. Finishing up school early with lower tuition, Ohhhh Yeaaahhh I'm down. I tried to comment on the Arizona State University page about this situation but it wont let me! =( The only reason I say I would be glad to join this change is because that just puts more money in my pocket and gives me more times with my family. I'm a chilled type of girl . I love to sit and play with my family and after a long days of work. It feels like I accomplished something. Ya know? ASU here I come, only because I feel I can save money with this deal you're setting forth. BUTTTT I would not like the idea of doing my schooling online. Once again I' am not a fan of that..AT ALL. If anyone feels like I maybe misunderstood this concept please enlighten me on what I am missing.

ALWAYS (SG#2)

Now I know that this is a Self Generated Blog Entry. With that being said why not put up another one of my little writings? I'm in one of my moods so excuse me in advance. =)

When it comes time for me to focus, someone always comes around.
When it comes a time where my guard is all the way up, someone comes to try and break it down.
Only to seek a broken heart ready to be found.
When it comes a time where my heart wants to cry out, Its funny cause that broken heart that wants to be found never makes a sound.
I feel as if any male will come and any male will go. They play with my feelings ha they're only making their random runs. But when will my broken heart truly be found making true love sounds, while lying flat upon this same ground with the same male figures making their same rounds. Imagine that, just imagine that, now my face is filled with nothing but crying cracks. Trying to cover up these awful facts.

Slanted Gun Control (AE#2)

Guns Guns Guns

Get them out of her, blow them up, destroy them all! Is what some people scream out to the other civilians. Gun control to the world today is like the topic of all topics for gun owners. Yes, guns can be safe and yes, i believe some should have to go. Those without experience and are under age and has yet to be cleared of any disorders should not under any circumstances be able to buy any guns from ANYWHERE. I believe that should be the law but no its not. Sorry, if your over 21 years of age, you are obligated to be in procession of a fire arm by choice. Unfortunately some are illegal and accidents start to happen. Its crazy how many people die, or kill their peers because of these deadly force weapons. Back in the old days we threw a fair one, but now a days people find it more easier to take a life than to take a "L" for losing. Instead of fighting one another, we should fight for better Gun Control. Better yet instead of killing on another with these violent weapons lets stand to kill these violent weapons that are bringing sorrow to ones' life.

In the video above it talks about how many deaths have occurred, when why and how. Knowing these things why wouldn't you want to go for Gun Control? The fact that we have these weapons to protect us, some people are using them to the best of their abilities and taking advantage of any law that passes them by. This is a blog, so I do believe I am able to say I HATE GUNS. Too many of my family and friends lost their lives over theses types of items in this Country. It's heartbreaking. Lets fight for gun control people. At least for better gun control. I mean don't get me wrong. Some people who are legal gun owners aren't that bad, and I applaud you all, but just for a second lets turn the guns down. Stand up let your voice be heard.

SG#1;; BLOG CURIOSITY

LET ME

Doing blogs and having to comment on a few, had me very anxious about hearing what my peers had to say about my blogs, but I guess not. Sometimes I wonder why people look at my blogs but don't say anything about them. Please comment, if its good or bad, let me know how you feel. Trust me its not going to be a problem, I'm not going to cause a scene, just be real. I mean isn't that what blogging is for? For people like ourselves to speak our minds. Soooo next time if you have a chance to read over my blogs comment afterwards,  speak your mind.

HEAR IT!

AE#1 Learning About Blogs

With this blog, I've come to like one which is: Drew Brees on Living Without Dairy. I like this one only because it has to do with food. I love food. I mean who can be picky when it comes to food? I feel as long as you try then you can judge it but I like any and everything that's cooked. Being that my body does not do well with dairy products this blog had a lot of interesting things and ways to live life without it.

NO

 The other ones i don't really have a feel for them because they really didn't catch my eyes or my mind so yeah I'll pass. Well if I had to choose another blog entry that was posted that I got interested in it would have to be: The 25 Best Financial Blogs. I would say this was a good blog because I feel like everyone wants to be rich or wealthy in their life times. I mean lets be honest here, does money rule your life? Before you actually say no, think about it. You need money to get what you want, need, and love. Well at times you do. I mean what's free besides love? but love don't pay bills, love don't put gas in your car every now and then. You need money. MONEY RULES THE WORLD. Within this blog though it gives you facts on how to run your own business at times or ideas that may make you think or feel you want to get started, and try something new.

Practice Blog

Hey Bloggers,

This may be my very first blog I've ever made, but I look forward to making more! I'm usually on Facebook or writing in my own notepad. My hobbies that I love doing the most are; Writing, Coaching, Dancing, Cheering, and being me. Yes I feel that being myself is a hobby. I feel this way because once you get to know me you'll understand that being me is hard work. =) Encouraging others to do their best and be the best that they can be is hard work at times. Making people laugh or feel that their worth is higher than the next person has ever told them, WOW coming from me that's A LOT of work. Especially when I'm working with little ones whom I love like my own. Its A Lot. When I get of age I would like to be a Parole Officer. You're probably asking why? Well because I like to be that someone who helped others get through their tough times. I like to help guide others towards the right directions when they are going down the wrong tunnel. So I came to GCC to up stain my high goals. Most people older than me, who has had the time to realize and focus on me at times know that being a P.O. really isn't my calling. Yes, I'm a christian by the way. My calling to most people and I agree is to become a Cheer or Gymnastic Coach. I don't know how much I can stretch this but I really LOVE cheering. The photos you will see on my page are legit. They are of my team that I coach and of me. If you have any questions or any concerns OR maybe even comments, PLEASE don't hesitate to comment.

I once told you before that I like to write as well, on my free time. Yes free time being when my slow jams are on (mainly instrumentals) and I'm all alone in a quiet spot of my own. Physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, even visually, I began to write. I write about where my mind has token me at the time being, or about who's been on my mind for awhile, or maybe just life in general. Being that I like to writ a lot I felt that this blog thing at first would be easy. Ha lets see. Underneath this paragraph you will find 2 of my entries that I have recently wrote just so you understand the meaning of my writings at time. Please comment your thoughts.

                                                              A Different Story!

Its funny how my feelings can feel the same story, but my heart and mind can get all the glory.

Its funny how my words can tell my whole story, but my hands and my heart can only tell partial for me. Once upon a time I was scared to be near you, only to realize I feared the clear view of the real you, or better yet, would I be able to even share you and not compare you? Placing my feelings that i had for you over any obstacles that i THOUGHT i had to go through...Just to be with you...Was just my evil side trynna see straight through you, which made my good side overlook you too. I tell you its hard to express my feelings but when i write its nothing but my realness. Its up to you to believe if its true or not, but I can honestly say my feelings grew a lot. But like I said my feelings, they can feel the same story, while my heart and mind will get all the glory. Just like my words, they can tell my whole story but my hands and my heart can only tell partial for me.

                                                                      Life!

Is this the life? Just having lust but no one to really trust.

Is this the life? being afraid, not saying what you really wanna say?

Everyday I have many chances to be brave and release this crave of lust from just a gaze of his amaze.

Is this the life? Believing in God as if we are apart of some type of religious...wait pause...I'm straight trippin', my mind was really slippin'.

Is this the life? The life of real image. For the sake of ourselves we try  not to be a blemish image of a regular remembrance.

I hope you liked my writings, that's all  I have for you bloggers. Until next time, I am Shay Mayes.
