The Cove

Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, The Cove follows a high-tech dive team on a mission to discover the truth about the international dolphin capture trade as practiced in Taiji, Japan. Utilizing state-of-the-art techniques, including hidden microphones and cameras in fake rocks, the team uncovers how this small seaside village serves as a horrifying microcosm of massive ecological crimes happening worldwide.


The Cove exposes not only the tragedy of dolphin slaughtering in Japan, but also the dangerously high levels of mercury in dolphin meat and seafood, the cruelty in capturing dolphins for entertainment, and the depletion of our oceans fisheries by worldwide seafood consumption. We also see how the mandate of the International Whaling Commission has been manipulated by the Japanese Fisheries Agency for its benefit and its subsequent effect on the rest of the world.

Here is your opportunity to change the world.
Watch this documentary and pledge to not support the captivity and slaughter of dolphins.

What makes you laugh?

All kinds of things make me laugh. I have a really warped since of humor.
Here's some funny pictures.











My personal favorite is of the women sitting in the chair, waiting in line at burger king... It's so lazy and funny. I died laughing.

My friends always make me laugh.
My puppy always makes me laugh.

What makes you feel safe?

I'm not sure. I mean, I'm pretty paranoid. I always drive with the door locked and make sure all the house doors are locked before I go to bed. I can't walk down the hallway in complete darkness. Lights on? I have no idea.



I cut my hair. I gave myself a bettie page bang. I'm already over them. I miss my old hair so much. It's such a bummer. I happy with the way they came out. I mean, it was my first time cutting hair.

What makes your best friend your best friend?

Well, this is my best friend... Her name is Melanie! The first picture is of us in a bathroom at a show. The band was lame and it was more awkward if anything, so we ended up in the bathroom. The second picture is of us before we worked in a haunted house. We had to scream at people and pretend to cry and stuff. These are the kinds of things we do. We're always coming up with something weird to do. For example, the other night we went over to this guy's apartment to hang out and make him a cake. Melanie and the guy(who will not be named to protect his identity) got drunk. Mind you, I've never met this guy before. He leans over to me and is like I have to tell you a secret. He tells me a secret, then proceeded to lick my ear. Haha. No cake was ever made. I spent the night at her apartment last night. She made me read a chapter out of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell out loud before she went to sleep. It was disturbing. Good-Bye.

What is something that makes you melancholy?

Homeless pets.
Shit I don't know, lots of things.
It doesn't take much to make me sad.

I wrote this like two months ago.

back burner lover
why do we do this?
it's four in the morning
I can't sleep;
Mind Control
Thoughts
This name on my wrist is a constant-
Reminder
Arms-
I need yours around me.
It's been so long
I don't remember your scent
Anymore-
But I remember how your body
feels next to mine
Perfect
I want to devote everything to you
I want to be yours
truly yours
but it seems you will
Always be my

Drake-Fear

july 30th 2008

If only I could think of all of the right things to write here.
It's 2:27am on the 23rd of June. Do you know that in a little more than a month it will be 2 years since I saw you last? Did you know you broke my heart into a million little pieces? 2 years is a long time. You made this promise to me. You hugged me and we went our separate ways, with the following year in mind and our futures ahead of us. Did you know it would be like this? Thinking back I wish we had more time that day. I wish I had a picture, anything. I can't even remember the way you smell. But I do remember the way your arms feel around me. I remember the way you make me sick to my stomach and the way I go weak in the knees when you're around. A lot has changed in the past two years. We've both taken separate paths, new challenges, and gone through relationships. It really scares me to think that you and I might never see each other again. In a week, I'm turning 18. You won't be here, and that's fine, but I wish you were. I don't even know what to feel anymore. I feel like this what I have all of my faith, love, and attention invested in. I want it that way forever, but I want the same in exchange. You can never give me that. In my heart, I know I need to move forward in life, but I can't leave you behind. It's so complex. I want to hold onto you but you'll end up dragging me in only deeper. None of this is making sense. I'm going to sleep now. Figure things out, stop this.

Shit.

I had this dream last night. You were in it. We were in love again and all that shit. I don't know how to feel about it. I miss you, honestly, but I can't help but to resent you for your mistakes.

In June, I am going to drive 90 miles to see you. Is it going to be worth it? Or is it going to be the same old shit? I'm really thinking it's a bad idea. I need this, I think. I just need to see if there is still anything between us.

I feel like this is a chapter that didn't end before moving onto the next. What should I do? I'm just going for it. Whatever happens, happens.

I'm doin' me.

So, I love Drake so much. This song is catchy as hell. Drake as an artist drips creativity and talent. He's got it going for him. He's only 23 and already being called the legend.....


This song is called Over. This is the beginning to the song.

"""I know way too many people here right now
That I didn’t know last year, who the fuck are y’all?
I swear it feels like the last few nights
We been everywhere and back
But I just can’t remember it all

What am I doin’? What am I doin’?
Oh, yeah, that’s right, I’m doin’ me
I’m doin me
I’m livin’ life right now, mayne

And this what I’ma do ’til it’s over
‘Til it’s over
But it’s far from over….."""

In my opinion, the first line is relating to fame and how everyone wants to be associated with you because of your name, clique, and money.
I get that.
In the same way, sometimes I just wake up in the morning and think "what the fuck?"
It just seems like people keep entering and exiting my life on a day to day basis.
Why can't shit just stay stable? You know?

Life is moving so fast. I'm trying to take it all in.


Drake asks himself "What am I doing?"
His response is "I'm doin' me."
This is my problem. I put everyone in front of me. I do what I want to do last.
I care about others before myself. It's not a bad thing, it's just better in moderation.
So, now, I'm doing me. I don't care about others for the time people. I just need to focus on myself; my faith, my morals, my values, my relationships, my health, and my future.

Bandwagons full. Please catch another.

Justin Bieber!?

One of my friends made this for me. I love JUSTIN BIEBER! I'm attending his concert in June.

Green is the new black?

So, I've never been the type to paint my nails black. It's just really not my thing. I usually stick to blue or classic pin-up red. I recently bought NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel nail polish in Big Money. I'm addicted to it. It looks SICK on. I love being not being traditional. The woman who does my nails is named Kathy. I had a nightmare the other night where she shut down her salon and I had to go somewhere else, and they sucked. I bite my nails. A lot. I'm trying to stop.

heyy.

Here's a picture of me and a baby chick. I loved it.

One day, I went

out to eat with one of my best friends since 98, holla. We had the pleasure of eating our meals with the following around us.

There's nothing pretty about being pretty.

I love how this girl has that patch of shaved hair. It looks so sick. I love it. I love it. I love it. I want it. But I'm just not cool enough.

Wayne's World

"i have up forsale a 1976 amc pacer. 84,000. original miles, automatic, all stock. this is a great little car, very dependable, the guy i got it from daily drove it for over a year and he got it from the original owner which took good care of mantaining everything ( lots of reicepts). this car is definantly a head turner and would be a nice driver or project for someone. im asking $1,000."

My favorite car in the entire world is a range rover, followed by the car I currently drive which is a Mazda 3. I have always loved amc pacers. When I was looking into buying a car, that I really wanted an amc pacer. I love wayne's world. I love that car. I get on craigslist a lot and search for them. I found this one on there.

Today is the greatest.

I have been having a crazy life lately.

I made that dress in that picture on the left. It took me a little less than a day to make it. I was going for a 80's look. Think sunset strip groupies hanging out in the viper room meets cherry pie music video. Classy meets trashy. I've been experimenting with different make up looks. I'm really into dark, dramatic eye make-up. I really want to start using fake lashes again, but it's something I never have time. I need to buy new lash glue.

* What is most important to you in a friend--loyalty, generosity, honesty--why?

Loyalty and Honesty.

What is more important to you, appearance or personality?

I usually notice a guy's height and clothing first, but personality is everything.
If you're an asshole, I probably won't be into you.
I like strong willed and independent.
I like someone who has thoughts and opinions, that aren't easily influenced.

What are some examples of prejudice?

"An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or
examination of the facts."

I don't feel like listing examples.

What are some rules you have to follow at home?

My parents aren't very strict.
I've never been grounded a single day in my life.

What a babe!

Anyone who says this song isn't catchy as hell is full of shit.
This is my ringtone.

I have

the bieber fever!
OH LA LA.

So, anyone who knows me, know that I'm into older men.
But Justin Beiber is sooo cute.
He's a little less than two years younger than me, which is sooo weird.
His songs are sooo corny, but I dig them.

I think the main reason I'm so intrigued by him is because he looks so much like Ryan Sheckler did at around that age.

What are some nutritious foods that you like?

I like fruits and vegetables.
I started a diet today.
Hopefully I will lose a few pounds.

I watched two movies today.

They were Sex & Breakfast and Martian Child.
They were both very good.
John Cusack is one of my favorite actors.

Today.

I spent time with one of my best friends. I've known her since 1998. I love her. She did my hair. It looked so pretty.
Then I went to my school dance. It was so much fun except they played super lame songs.

Mur

I love this models look. Fashion keeps bringing in all of these crazy hair styles.
I'm not sure whether to love or hate it.

I'll leave this open to interpretation,

Good Night.

Sleep Sleep Sleep

The opposite of love isn't hate-it's indifference. And if you hate me, that means you still care.

I love my life.

I like to eat cereal. It is good. I don't like milk, so I use silk. Yum.


I'm going to plant some flowers in the spring. I'm beyond excited. I wish you could buy tiger lily seeds, but you can't. They are my favorite flower.

What are junk foods?

Junk foods are foods that you can gain nothing from eating, except weight.

Hello.

Today is Drew Barrymore's Birthday.
Justin Long and Drew Barrymore are my favorite hollywood couple.
They are perfect for each other.

My lips are chapped and my skin is very dry.

What are you afraid of? Why?

I am afraid of being kidnapped because my mom made me that way.
I am afraid of zombies because I believe they really exist.

That Thing You Do.

">

"I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you - kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all your color and life. I used to think that was the real you, when you smiled. But now I know you don't mean any of it. You just save it for all your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight."

">

Hello World.

I've given you everything, all the flowery things, the blessed church bells and birds singing, and it's you I love the most."

So, just now I had this idea to listen to all these songs backwards. They made me think about all these memories and stuff. I don't know why, but I got all shaky and teary eyed.
So weird.

The more and more time put between this strained relationship, the more my heart breaks.
This is all I have ever known, and I feel like it's being ripped right out of my hands.
Life is not slowing down anytime soon. What if the last time I saw you was the last time? That kills me. I have watched this journey and struggle from the beginning. To think I could throw it out all out now seems ridiculous.

But I miss you the most. You have strayed the farthest off the path. I feel like you work so hard and no one appreciates it. I do. I always have. I always will. It freaks me out so badly that it's almost been 2 years since I've seen you.
I mean, I know we talk sometimes.
But I just really need you now.
I need one of your hugs.
I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH.
Fuck LA.
FUCK your job.
Fuck everything.


Make up your promise.

Today.

Today I watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. I was really unimpressed. It had nothing to do with the acting. The whole story line was completely stupid. I'm not trying to be rude, but I could have written it better. It just seemed to drag on forever. I know it's based off a book. The authors should probably go hide under a rock and never show their faces ever again.

What does Canada mean to you?

Canada is a country.

Nicole Richie is engaged.
I'm so happy for her.

What does "There are two sides to every coin" mean to you?

I have no idea.

My dog knocked my heart shaped box of chocolates in the space between my mattress and bed.
She's pissed.

Did you know Courtney Love lost custody of Francis Bean Cobain?
Serves that bitch right.

What does "still waters run deep" mean to you?

Prov. Quiet people are often very thoughtful.

This is very, very, very, very true.


I just watched the grammy's.
I think they were on a month ago.
Joe Jonas is a babe.
Also, Drake is a babe.

I'm watching my puppy try to open my box of chocolates.
Not cool.

I've been thirst all day long.

I didn't get to eat at my favorite place in kansas city.
I was so disappointed.

Kansas.

I'm going to eat at my favorite place ever and shop at my favorite vintage store tomorrow.
I'm excited.
Good night.

I'm Kansas City.

I'm excited.
Here's my new old crush.

Road Trip

to Grandma...143

What do we mean when we say, "Hitch your wagon to a star"?

Prov. Always aspire to do great things.; Do not set pessimistic goals. (From Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay, "Civilization.")


I think this is a good saying.
I have to go read The Jungle now, then sleep.

What do we mean when we say, "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar"?

You will achieve more by being nice than being a turd.
I agree with the statement 100%.
I've had to work with people before that were straight up rude to me.
How am I supposed to respect your authority when you're a dick?



My feet itch sooooo bad.
I'm going to bed now.

What does "You can't take it with you" mean?

Someday you will die and nothing will matter.

What do we mean when we say, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"?

Things are not always what they seem.
I'm so torn on all this college stuff.
U of L or NKU.
Shit.

Tomorrow, Lauren and I are going to see four year strong at the mad hatter club.
I'm hoping to meet some cute guys.

So, lipstick vs. lipgloss?
I'm down with lipstick 100% but tomorrow I'm hitting up that glossed lip look.
You won't copy me.

What does "The early bird gets the worm" mean to you?

To me, it means the more prepared you are for something, the more likely you are going to achieve it.

So, everyone on facebook has their default set as their celebrity look-a-like.
Here's what I came up for myself...
I'll leave it open to interpretation...

What does "Have your cake and eat it too" mean to you?

meaning an individual owning a thing, and still attempting to benefit from or use it. It may also indicate having or wanting more than one can handle or deserve, or trying to have two incompatible things. The proverb's meaning is similar to the phrases, "you can't have it both ways" and "you can't have the best of both worlds."

What does "Clothes make the person" mean to you?

This saying is stupid.
Clothes do not make a person.
Brilliant minds make people.
But people just love designer shit, let's not deny it, kids.
I'm madly in love with clothes.
I just keep shopping.
The majority of my clothing doesn't even fit into my closet.

I'm addicted to caffeine and cutting the collars out of shirts.
I think I'm turning into a mall rat. For the past couple of weekends, I've been hitting up the mall.

It's snowing right now.
I'm not a fan.
I went to work tonight for less than 2 hours.
So crazy.
The roads were awful.

(500) Days of Summer

I love her smile. I love her hair. I love her knees. I love how she licks her lips before she talks. I love her heart-shaped birthmark on her neck. I love it when she sleeps.

I hate her crooked teeth. I hate her 1960s haircut. I hate her knobby knees. I hate her cockroach-shaped splotch on her neck. I hate the way she smacks her lips before she talks. I hate the way she sounds when she laughs.

Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life. May 23rd was a Wednesday.

This is lies. We are liars. Think about it. Why do people buy cards? It's not because they want to say how they feel. People buy cards because they can't say they feel or are afraid to. And we provide the service that let's them off the hook. You know what? I say to hell with it. Let's level with America. Or at least let them speak for themselves. Right?

The whole time I watched this movie, I wanted to get my hair cut.
That dude is kind of babe.
Someone hook us up asap.
