dance dance revoltion

About three weeks ago i bought dance dance revolution, for xbox 360. I like it allot its harder then i thought though. The game has four different levels beginner,basic, hard, and expert. It has many different songs and a mat with different arrows for the beat. It reminds me of guitar hero in a way. It is a very good exercises, you jump around constantly because the arrows come on the screen so quick. If you beat a certain amount of songs your able to unlock more songs, it is basically the point of the game. I love video games, its weird because most guys play video games, i love them. I always get games for my xbox i will stay in all day and play it. Saints row is anther good game for xbox you have to take out all the gangs. Its allot of fun you do different mission and kill people, and blow up cars. One mission you do drug trafficking and gangs chase you while you drive to different places with you car. You also have "Homies" you call then and they help you out. I found out cheats for the game i have infinite sprint where i don't run out of breathe and i can run forever, i get unlimited money and drive the nicest cars and hook them up, i get guns, and ammo whenever, and if i want no cops to chase me if i did something wrong i also have the cheat for that. I think i like video games so much because its all about stardegy. I love to figure things out, that's why i like math and all that stuff. When i have to plan and figure out things i am hooked forever.

Abortion

Is abortion right? is been a continuing dispute for decades now ever since it became legal. The pro life people say its murder and its wrong to kill a child. In my opinion i am for it, i don't think its right to do it at 6 months because legally your allowed to, however up too 2 months i don't think its wrong. Why would you bring a child into a world where you know your not capable of taking care of it. what happens if you get raped it should be your choice. The baby does not have a heart beat it's a zygote for eight weeks then a fetus after that. If a women gets pregnant and she is a drug addict, then the kid will be a crack baby. Abortion is legal for a reason, if your not capable of taking care of it, you should think about getting an abortion before running the babies life. Crimes are committed by most people with unfit parents, people should realize what they are doing before they have a kid. Many young people today are getting pregnant and it's accepted, i just don't think teenage women have the capability to raise a mentally healthy child. Their are many different types of abortion you can get; the Ru 486 pill also known as the "abortion cocktail" is a set of pills one is taken at the office the other 4 at your home and it induces a miscarriage just from the pills, you can only use this method up too 8 weeks of pregnancy. Anther way is aspiration where a vacuum goes up a women uterus 10 times faster then a household vacuum and the zygote/ fetus is destroyed this procedure takes up to 10 minutes. You can do this method up too 12 weeks pf pregnancy. Anther method i know about is just like the aspiration except the vacuum has a knife edge on it and the cervix has to be dilated for surgery. Their are many other methods for abortion. The only one i agree with is the Ru 486 pill because its still just a zygote the other ones however are really wrong because the baby has a heart beat and you are getting surgery done to rid it. Having a kid is the most series thing that can happen to a person you have to be ready finically and emotionally to raise a healthy child.

My boat

Two years ago my dad went to a boat show in Miami and bought a carver yahct and got it shipped down to New york. We keep the boat in sea gate Brooklyn at the excelsior yatch club. I love the summer because at least twice a week i got on my boat and on my wave runner. I lover water crafts i guess you can say. I have my boating licence so i can drive anything under 50 feet. I drive my wave runner all around, i know every trick i usually knock my friends off on purpose for fun. Every time we go on it my dad makes the best sandwiches in the world their amazing. we usually go all around with my boat we go around Manhattan and see the city and the statue of liberty its pretty cool. The boat is so nice it is 40 feet it has two bedrooms a bathroom, a kitchen with a living room/ dining area. In the front their is a big plat from of the back so we can fish. We usually get it winterized in December until the 2ND week of April. After that we start going fishing and once the middle of may comes i start going on my wave runner and tanning on the top of the boat. The water does not get warm until like July i would say but the water is so polluted in new york its not even pleasant to go in. I mean it's fine if you do but i would rather not. That's the worst part the water its just not clean i like water where you can see the bottom other wise i get freaked out. I love my boat and wave runner that's my favorite part of the summer.

Florida

Lat year i had to drive to Florida to my apartment and my best friend was going to take the ride with me down there and fly back. She has her license and agreed to help out on this long drive. I ended driving from Staten island to north Carolina straight i stopped one time in between for gas. When i got out of the car i literally felt like i was going to collapse it felt like i was walking on water. Five minutes after my friend starts driving she is going 45 mph in a 70 mph speed zone i was like Kayla you have to drive faster someone is going to crash into us. Her response was "i don't usually drive at night" i was like OK grandma well i am going to kill you because i am so tired i couldn't even close my eyes that's how scared i was. Then every time a car passed her on the left she braked i was Kayla what are you doing she was i don't like when cars pass me, so now i am pissed because i have mentally challenged person driving my car on a major interstate, finally after 20 minutes she pulled out and i was stuck driving again. I then drove from North Carolina to Jacksonville Florida straight i finally pulled over in the daytime so she can drive. That time she wasn't that bad she started driving like 60 mph which was a good improvement so i slept for 3 hours and when i woke up we were in Orlando. I drove the rest to Boca Raton about anther 2 and half three hours and we finally made it. I told my self next time i drive back i am going to have a better candidate for the ride. I slept from the time i got back at like 5:00pm till the next morning that's how exhausted i was. A trip like that will really knock the wind out of you i usually do it allot but with experienced drivers that time it was horrible i mean it was better then being by your self but it was pretty bad.

food

Every year my family and I make prosciutto, cappagol, and sausage. My dad gets the pig from a butcher we use the some part of it to make the prosciutto and we salt it for ten days then hang dry it for six months. The cappagol is different it takes about three weeks we use many spices and hang dry that as well. The sausage we season it buy stomach intestines and with a machine we grind the meat then stuff it into the intestines and tie it up and it drys as well for about 10 days. I love making it with my family its fun and love food, and i love too cook. After all that is done we fry up some fresh meat with garlic, oil, parsley, white wine, salt and pepper, and red hot cherry tomatoes. After about 20 minutes it is done, it tastes so good and every year i make it.
We also make wine with my aunt in her basement we buy different grapes to make Merlot, pinto grigio, and Chianti, my aunts is good at this stuff because she been studying whine for years and going all over to taste it. The grapes go threw a barrel and at the bottom the grape juice pours out and he put it in a barrel so it can start the fermentation process, i know there is more too it but i am not sure exactly what else you do. In a couple of months its ready most of it comes out good last year we lost a barrel it tasted like vinegar. For the most part it comes out really good. I love learning how to make things from scratch what can i say I'm Italian.

life

Their is so many different things that interest me, i was originally going to major in business finance but then i realized i don't like finance i will be bored everyday for the rest of my life. Now i want to major in business marketing so i can work for a bid advertisement company. I still am not completely sure what i want to do. What if i graduate and don't get a a good job and i am just making average money,i don't want that if i am going to get my MBA i don't want to come out making 40,000 - 50,000 starting i just wont accept that. I am not going to struggle with money for 6 years putting school first before everything having fun, going out, get a job 5 days a week to come out and make decent money. Business is very tricky you can make nothing or you can make millions you have to have a good business sense, and know what is really going on to make money. My cousin graduated college and works at JP Morgan and chase and works 80 hours a week that's why he makes good money, that;s crazy. So this is what going to happen i am going to work hard in college, get a job work long hard hours , and have money but not time to spend it. Life is so confusing for me, i don't want the easy way out, well i wouldn't mind it but i just want to work hard in college get a good job make good money and work normal hours but to have a life like that is merely impossible. I just don't want my life to be wasted i want to look back and say i am happy i had the time to have fun work and make money. who knows maybe i will end up doing something different, i just want to wake up in the morning and be happy about what i do.

forenics

I love watching all shows on forensics; Forensics files, CSI Miami, Suburban Secrets. One episode i remember was on suburban secrets. Three college girls shared a house together they were all in their twenties. Two of the girls were going to Australia on some study together for a couple of months. One night two of girls were murdered the ones that shared a bedroom they were stabbed and killed. The third girl survived because she had her own bedroom. They had no idea who did they had no evidence they later found out that the girls boyfriend was very jealous. He apparently did not want her to leave, and he was did not like her friend either because she was going with her. They took a close look at the case and re observed it, the night of the murder their was a cigarette on the floor in the house, it was a very rare cigarette you couldn't get it in most places. However after cross examination, they realized he smoked that brand of cigarettes, they did DNA on the cigarette butt and it was a match to him. He plead guilty to murdering the two girls. Some people are really crazy i don't know how someone can have the mind set to stab 2 innocent girls multiple times to death all because she was going away. Sometimes you can never tell people just snap . I have seen episodes where people were married for 30 years and murder their spouse over an affair , money, jealousy or simply no reason just cold blooded killers. Today's science and technology can really almost test and find out anything just by putting the pieces together of a case. Their is no such thing as a perfect murder their is always something their that tells you a dark story, threw science.

Tottling my car

September 9, 2006 i tootled my brand knew car. I flipped off the 195 3 times down a ditch. I was living in Florida for only a couple of months at the time, and i was so scared. My friend was actually following me on the highway and he saw the whole thing, he thought i was dead. So many people pulled over like 4 cars. This is how it all happened i was in the right lane going slow and i went to go to the middle a car was their and honked so i went back to the right and lost control of the car. The cops said i was lucky to be alive they couldn't believe i was perfectly fine. I did not have a scratch on me. I was just dirty i had so much dirt on my from flipping. I had like 3 feet of dirt and branches in my car. Its landed the right way up the car. My roof was dented in the back windshield was gone most of the windows was gone. My rear view was gone the car was demolished is did not look like the person in it was OK. I got scared so i actually got my friend to drive the car to my apartment complex because i was literally a half mile away the car actually drove and fell apart once we turned in my complex air conditioner filter fell right on the floor out of my engine. It turns out their is a flip to this story, the people on the highway called the cops saying a girl got into a really bad car accident flipped her car and some crazy guy drove the car away with her. They didn't know i knew him, so the cops were looking for me, somebody in my apartment complex called the cops saying their was a really badly destroyed car in the complex. They put 2 and 2 together and called the complex to find out who the car belonged too. I had literally 6 cops and EMT, firefighters at my door. They said what happened am i crazy how did i not go to the hospital they were yelling at my friends saying that they should of called 911. The first thing they suspected was that i was drunk that's why i did all this. which i was i made the worst decision in my life and almost killed my self. The cop was in the ambulance with me and he was what did you have to drink tonight i smell it all over you? i was like wait for the tests to come in then we will talk. It ended up that i had very little alcohol in me because of the big time period that i was in my apartment. I got a careless driving ticket for 118 dollars and no points because i am licenced in new york. The cop stayed with me most of the night telling me how lucky i am to be alive and the other girl who crashed her car tonight didn't make it a 25 year old girl. He really knocked sense into me after that night i never drank and drove again and i never will. People don't think its as series as it really it i don't want to be the reason somebody gets hurt or killed. i learned a lifelong lesson, drinking and driving kills. sometimes it not your fault someone else could hurt you but you should be aware and sober at all times so you can defensively drive. I could of died that nights, i caused allot of stress for my parents they flew to Florida they were so worried when the hospital called them. I will never make that mistake again sometime there is no second chance. i should of got in trouble that, the craziest part of this story is that my grandfather passed away exactly a year before that. Its as if he was watching over me.

Italy

Italy is the most interesting contry i have been to yet. Two years ago i went there with my family and best friend. I went to Milan, Florence, Venice, Naples, Rome, Pizza, The island of pompei, the island of capri. Milan had the best shopping, i got stuck in a dust storm there at night with my best friend i was so scared i didn't know what was going on so i asked the few people around what was going on and they said everythiing is ok. Milan also had alot of mosquitos i got 20 bites in one night. venice was very inteeresting as well you can only get around by boat/ gondala. my dad refused to take a water taxi when we first got there so we ended up walking over five brideges with luggage in 105 degree wheather. The gondala was cool thouggh its crazy how well the men now to control them its not that easy with so much water traffic. Rome was the nicest city in my opinion, i went to vatican city i saw pope john paul II tomb and all the other pope's. I also seen the sistene chapel which was the most moving piece of art i have ever seen. i seen many other things in vatican city as well. Rome has a very social night life if your ever in rome go to "fuori del compo" it has bars, clubs , live music , its such a great experience. The island of pompei was a very dramatic moment for me. thousands of years ago the whole town got destroyed by a horrible volcano killing everyone if it didnt kill you the ash did. you were able to see the actual dead people and how there body stayed preserved after all this time, i seen mother's holding their childing, men hiding in cubby whole's it like the town froze . I was able to see the town and all the homes and shops that got destroyed. I went to naples to visit my family my dad grew up there and some of my family still lives there. It was very exciting because i hardly see them. Naples isent a tourist attraction but you can get the best food in the world there. i never had such good food in my life then in naples. My dad showed us his exact house that he lived in when he grew up so it was kind of kool. The leaning tower of pizza is kool too i took the pictures where it looks like i am pushed the buidling it was fun. Although we got stressed at some points and had to drive so far sometime with a werid car that we had to retrun 2 times because my dad burnt out the cluctch it was still an experience i will never forget. If you go to italy you have to go all aorund their is so much to see and do. From the statue of david in florence to vatican city the island of pompei is is beautiful, the food is excellent, the shopping is great, i wish i could go thier all the time. Its so much fun!

south fin grill

I just got a job at the South Fin Grill in Staten Island on Father Capadano road. It is nothing like the way i expected it to be. Every thing they do is so precise, its crazy. I worked at Ruth Cris steak house in Boca raton and it is nothing like this. Even with my experience they won't make you a server right away. You have to be a server assistant for a month then work at the Vanderbilt for a night which they own too. May i add to work at the Vanderbilt you need a certain tuxedo which i 160 dollars for one night. Then after then you have to get 3 Manager approvals then you can be a server at the south fin grill. To me that is absolutely crazy, i know you might need extra training because its a nice restaurant but its not that serious. This 70 year old manager greeted a family that came in to eat by saying "this is a 3 star restaurant it would be a 4 star but we don't have table cloths on our tables" who in their right mind says that to someone who is coming in to eat in a restaurant. They also have these coffee splash guards well actually its just a plate the you but in front of the coffee pot so you don't splash the person your serving. The plate has computer paper printed out and taped on the plate saying "We take care of you" , i think that why its a 3 star restaurant personally. Why would you tape computer paper on a plate and show it to some one as your serving them coffee. I think it is understood when you go to a nice restaurant you get taken care of , telling someone that typed is a little trashy if you ask me. You should never tell some one what your doing for them its should be understood and given , when you tell someone its make them think in a way your desperate for like a bigger tip or something. I just didn't think being a server was that serious i know its hard work believe me i did it for 9 months, but its not impossible you take the order type it in the computer, check on your guests, smile, and the bus boys run food in expensive restaurants you don't really have to worry about carrying 5 plates in your hand. I just think the way they make you do slave work for a month to become a server is ridiculous. I honestly have to look for anther job.

car accident

The other day i was driving to Manhattan with my friend Laura to go shopping. I take the same way i always do the BQE to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel , i was on the BQE and i guess traffic was coming my friend Laura was screaming "stop" "stop" and before i knew it, it was too late. I hit a mini van in front of me with my big truck that i have. i was so scared because i never actually got into a small accident i usually total the car , so i didn't know what to do. i was like to Laura should i get out of the car what should i do? Finally the guy came out of the care he was actually a acidic Jewish man with his whole family in the car, i felt so bad. he was like nothing happened don't worry about it meanwhile i dented his car Little bit, he didn't Even care i apologized like 10 times and got back in my car. I just couldn't believe i did that, how stupid can you be not to see a car in front of you, it boggles my mind. I was so nervous after that because i should not be making mistakes like this i have been driving for 3 years now, and i seem to have no gotten better even a little bit. I am so happy no one was hurt , that's the most important part. Driving is a very serious thing it kid so many people a day. So when i make a stupid mistake i get mad at myself because i should be more cautious. I think i learned a lesson though Always pay attention to traffic especially in new york because it can just stop out of no where.

my cousins

My little cousing John and Phil are so wild and crazy. I watch at least one of them once a week. They are 7 years old and twins. My cousin john is so wild he picks on phil all the time. They come in my room and cause havic they throw all my clothes on the floor spill things and make the biggest mess you can't imagine. Every time i take them too chuckie cheese i end up spending 4 hours there becasue they won't stop whining until i get more coins i love them so much though they are gorgues. John is very smart he plays football and actually skipped a grade. Phil is a little slower then john but it ok. Phil likes to put things together and decorate, while john is very manly and into sports. It's crazy becasue they are twins but yet so different they dont look much alike and they have totally different personalities. Phil loves girls his favorite is zoey on nick, John hates girls he won't even play with them. No matter what i do for him he still says he does not like me i know he is kidding and just trying to act like the cool kid because i am a girl. They are so funny though they are so honest and always rat people out in my family and get them in trouble, everytime i want the gossip i go to them. Its crazy the things kids know this days, they also wake up at 7:00 so if one of them stays over sunday morning i am up at 7:00am. Its great though i love it. The funniest thing i can remeber is when they rearranged my room and hid everything and threw cereal on my floor and crushed it i was going crazy for days i couldnt find anything. I called my aunt about 20 times to ask them where they put things and everytime they said they dont know. i love them so much but if you dont keep a close watch on them you might be in for a big surprise.

domenican republic

I can't wait until June 2, 2008 i am going to the Dominican republic with my boyfriend my best friend Kellie and her boyfriend and her two friends. we are all staying at the same hotel. it's an all inclusive hotel because your not allowed to leave the resort area because the streets are very dangerous there. our hotel has 8 restaurants , bars, clubs , etc. i am going to have so much fun! i am going to wake up early every morning and just start partying. i am going to para sailing because i haven't done it in years. you can also go to other hotels and see what they have going on over there because it all on a strip. i love going to knew places i wish i can go some where different every month. i can also rent wave runners there because i have my boating licence i am staying there for 7 nights and eight days.My friends got the trip at a very good price too because they booked it early and got a good deal on the hotel. i am just so excited because there is just so much i am going to be able to do. i absolutely love swim up bars and they have it in all the pools. i love the ocean it is my favorite place to be. i am very good at many water sports, and i swim in the water all day. There is nothing more relaxing then the ocean i love it, 7 nights in the Dominican republic i am going to have the most craziest time.
