Jeans worn in other countries.

Have you ever thought why we americans buy jeans that look as if they've been worn out. You know the ones from Hollister and American eagle and almost any teen clothing store? It was so funny. We were in Mixed Media class talking about making baskets and Mr. Fure mentioned something about a basket looking worn out and he similized it to a pair of jeans from Hollister. Then he told us his theory about worn out jeans.

--->Mr. Fure's Theory.<---

Ripped Jeans are made in other countries and bought for cheap by the people who live there. They're then shipped to the United States ripped up,draped up and full of holes. We buy them here for a higher cost and then wear them out some more.

I though this was a knee-slapper. It was so funny, but then I had one of my dumb moments and thought Hey, maybe that is what happens, but no I understand that it isnt. Ha well thanks for reading children. Peace.

No flippin' clue!

You know how people always ask you,"What do you wanna be when you grow up." Well I have no flippin' clue and it kinda bothers me.I know I'm only in 10th grade, but my high school years are going pretty fast. Its seems like everybody else in my family has their future plans set, but I don't. I guess it's because I change my mind to much. I wanted to be a teacher, but I couldn't stand being in school for the rest of my life. (No offense to anyone else.) I wanted to be a lawyer, but law school would probably be to complicated. Fashion Designer? Nah to much of a hobby to me. So now I'm looking at Business Administration. Yeah I know right. I'll probably change my mind in the next three months. So yeah I think I need help. Ha maybe i should be a psychiatrist.
so til next time. peace

My weekend/homecoming

Okay, so yesterday was our homecoming. It was the Albert Lea Tigers against the Mankato east cougars. The tigers lost 34 to 35. It was kinda sad. I personally think that we should of just kept it as a tie instead of taking the risk of another touchdown during overtime, but what can I do about it? I hardly know anything about football.
Anyway, after school we went to field day, and when I say "we" I mean Nya, Amanda, Jesse and I. It was pretty fun. We went through the obsticle course and all that jazz. After that we went back to my house, and came back to the school to watch the game. Later, after the game we went to the dance. Okay so the decorations were pretty sweet, but as far as music goes? It was not that great. The Dj kept talking and taking up time and he kept playin cheerleading songs or songs you couldnt dance to. If he would of had better songs, I'm pretty sure the dance would of been on and poppin'. Ha anyways on saturday we had to get up early for our volleyball tournament. We only got like three hours of sleep because we came home so late the night before. Our tournament went by kinda swell. We won some and lost some. In the end it was still a pretty wicked weekend. Peace out!

Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!

You know back in the day when you were just a little kid lovin' the outdoors?
Well that was me. Always wanting to go outside and kick it with my friends. Peanut butter sandwiches and capri-sun big pouches always made my afternoon. Except for this one dreadful day that I was betrayed by that beloved peanut butter sandwich. It all started one day when I was around 6-7 yrs old. I thought I was extra hungry so I decided to make an extra peanut butter sandwhich to eat. When I was just about ready to start chewin' on my second sandwhich I noticed it was getting dark out and that would mean I wouldn't be able to go play outside. I attempted to quickly devour the sandwhich but my stomach just wouldn't budge. So i though ditch the sandwhich and go play. As I was headed to the door my dad noticed me and asked where i was going. I replied,"to go play at the big park." He was just about to let me go until he glanced over to the table and saw the uneaten sandwhich. He then told me that i couldn't play outside until i finished my sandwich. I tried and tried to finish it quickly but the darn sandwhich kept sticking to the roof of my mouth. Ages later, i finally finished my sandwhich, but there's another problem, it was already getting dark, and that means i couldn't go outside. I was so fustrated that the sandwhich took so long to eat. And that my friends is the reason why I dislike peanut butter.

G-G-Graphics

Okay, in my previous blog I forgot to mention that I just recently got into making layouts, page graphics and photo editing, so I'll dish all 'bout that in this blog. I started the whole thing when I would constantly be looking for a new Myspace layout,because someone else had the one I currently had on my profile. I like being unique so I decide to make my own. I like making them because I feel as if though I'm expressing myself more that way, and it's really fun working with the colors and designs or whatnot. So to the point here a picture that i did once.This is a picture that I made of the Main places that I'd like to visit in the future. New York,Hollywood,Paris, and the bahamas.

Hey Martha! Introduce yourself.

Yo!For my first blog ever,! I thought I'd start off by simply introducing myself. For starters, the name I go by is Martha. I was born in Kenya, so not only was I born out of state, I was born out of country and I'm bilingual. I speak English and Nuer. A little Spanish but I cant speak it fluently so I'm not quite yet trilingual. I moved to America in 1994 when I was about a year old,but I'll stop there because that story calls for a follow-up blog.. Anyway, I reside in Minnesota. Moved here when I was around nine, so that was 2003-ish? Yeah something like that. My family just recently consisted of 9 members. My mom had my new baby brother on 09/10/08, so only a few days ago. I have 6 siblings, ranging from ages 18-4days old, and then my mom and my dad.
I go to A.L.H.S, and I just started my sophomore year of high school. Its pretty fun so far, because I'm actually doing other things besides the basics. For instance, I joined volleyball, and I'm taking a journalistic writing class. Yeah it kinda rocks! My interest are Writing, singing,dancing,reading, designing and "oh snap" I almost forgot, blogging. You can say that when I talk I tend to "jump-around." Not in the literally form, but you know what I mean. I'm really energetic at times and then sometimes i just like to chill out and let the bass drop, or in other terms for the people who don't really understand this type of terminology, I mean i can be really talkative at times and then I can be really quiet and all you hear is the music from my stereo, only not really Because you also hear me singing loudly too. Haha, but to wrap this up I'll end it with just saying that I'm a really nice and laid back person, with a really outgoing personality. Get to know me. Peace!
