STOP ANIMAL ABUSE AND CRUELTY!

So, I recently saw a picture of a Pit Bull that was tied to the back of a car and dragged. This picture disturbed me deeply. The poor dog's shoulder was raw along with some spots on his legs, also he face was messed up, including his eye. And his facial expression and his eyes are what got me the most, he was just so sad, he looked like he had lost his best friend, and he looked like he was in so much pain it was HORRIBLE! Seriously, people you need to stop being so evil. How can you harm something so defenseless and wonderful. I actually began crying after I saw this picture I'm going to post. So I have vowed to volunteer at an animal shelter, as much as I can. Also, I know it's going to be hard, but I'm going to try to go vegetarian for at least a week every month.

God please Bless these evil hearted people, and be with them, and the many people, animals, and creatures of Yours that they have harmed, and please cleanse their hearts.

Also, please make an attempt to volunteer at your local animal shelter if not your time please give money. I hope that this post has touched your heart and I pray that you do the right thing.

PEOPLE IF YOU SUSPECT OR SEE AN ANIMAL GETTING ABUSED OR HARMED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FASHION PLEASE WRITE DOWN THE TIME, PLACE, EVERYBODY WHO WAS INVOLVED, AND GET HELP IMMEDIATELY CALL 911!!!!!!!!!

THE PICTURE BELOW IS VERY DISTURBING! VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!

I cannot tell you the website of which this picture was found, I saw it on Facebook and I knew I just had to do something about. This picture angered and saddened me. I hope who ever did this get what's coming to them. Also I don't know if the dog is still living or has healed. I figured the best way to approach a cause is to make it known!

THANKS FOR READING!

Spiritual Sunday!!!

Matthew 28:1-8

1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

Throw back Thursday! - Real Love

We are lovers true and through
And though we made it through the storm
I really want you to realize
I really want to put you on
I've been searching for someone
To satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration
Be the real love that I need

TV Show Tuesday!! - Cosby Show

       The Cosby Show is an American television situation comedy starring Bill Cosby, which aired for eight seasons on NBC from September 20, 1984 until April 30, 1992. The show focuses on the Huxtable family, an affluent African-American family living in Brook, New York. This is one of my all time favorite television shows. It plays the role of a real life American family. Rudy (played by Keshia Knight Pulliam) and Olivia (Raven Symone) were my favorite characters.

 Luke 9:27-36

27But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

 28And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

 29And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

 30And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

 31Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

 32But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

 33And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

 34While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

 35And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

36And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

Essence Music Festival

   The Essence Music Festival is such a great experience. I went to my first EMF in 2010. My family and I have made this one of our summer trips. The festival is usually July 1-3. Meet and greet with celebs, live interviews, seminars, game shows and so much more. Everything takes place in the convection center of downtown New Orleans, LA, and the concerts are at the Super Dome. The best part is, that it's all free (except the main concert on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night). In 2010, we attended the Saturday night concert which starred: Keri Hilson, LL Cool J, Gladysis Knight, and Alicia Keys! This year we went to the Sunday night show which starred: KEM, Trey Songz, New Edition (6 deep), and Mary J. Blige! I'm so excited for the 2012 EMF!

Here are some of the many pictures I have taken while at the Essence Music Festival:

Remembering Steve Jobs...

       So, as you all may know co-founder of Apple Inc. passed away October 5, 2011. He died of pancreatic cancer. This is just a blog I am making in remembrance of him and his accomplishments. In my eyes Mr. Jobs was way before time, he was a talented and gifted man...a true gift from the Lord above. Steve Jobs also helped in a lot of animated movies such as Toy Story adn other Pixar movies. He has invented many items we teens and adults use everyday like: iPods, iPhones, and Mac products. His genius can never be copied or replaced.  He will truly be remembered for the wonderful computer engineer, innovator, and inventionist he was. Without Mr. Jobs android-line products probably would not have existsted for another 2 years or more. He leaves behind a multi-billion dollar business and his four kids. 

!THANK-YOU STEVE JOBS!

Throw Back Thursday!!!

So today is ...you guessed it... THROWBACK THURSDAYS!!!!!!!!!

My (Tristan) throwback song is... FIELD MOB ft. CIARA - SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

...those not so great days...

Okay, so have you ever had one of those days where everything just didn't seem to go right? One of those days where it seems that everybody is doing stuff to make you upset? I know the feeling, because I have at least one of those days a week. Yea I know, how can somebody be upset THAT much...trust me, it's possible. So in this post I will be telling about simple ways to bring you back to calmness. ...it works for me.

Ways to Calm Down

1. I know its cliche but...count to 10

2. Gently and quietly, breathe through your nose and back out through your mouth for as long as you're angry or disturbed

3. Read a book

4. Take a warm bath

5. Sip tea, coffee, or warm milk ...whatever warm drink that suits you best

6. Relax and think of happy times

7. If you're REALLY angry, take a cool bath and think about the positive people in your life

8. Watch a great movie ...preferably a comedy

9. Pray to God

10. Think about something funny

11.Shake your shoulders to relieve tension

12. Talk to friends

13. Lay down in a safe place, and just chill

14. Write down what the problem is and ways to resolve it OR you can right an angry letter and throw it away after you finish venting

15. Take time to PRIVATELY relax, pray, and meditate

16. Squeeze a stress ball, sponge, or any other pliable object for at least 50 times

17. This is the one I need to work on: REALIZING THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL WHAT WILL HAPPEN THAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

18. Make a goal to live more and stress less

19. Listen to happy music

20. RELAX

Movie Mondays and Throwback Thursdays

Okay so if you haven't noticed already, Jaleesa and I have started doing Movie Mondays and Throwback Thursdays. We came up with the idea {like we always do} talking on the phone. Movie Mondays is basically where every Monday we name our favorite movie...no one movie will be named twice. Throwback Thursdays is basically where every Thursday we name our favorite throwback song, it can be ANY song...even songs that were recorded before we were born. So you can join in on the fun. Just leave a comment or inbox us what your favorite movies and throwback songs are. I'm pretty sure we will be having more themed days in the future so stay posted! BTW, if you have any ideas of what a theme of a certain day should be inbox or comment and if it's good we'll use it and give you a shout-out on the first post!
Thanks for Reading...

Scream Tour 2011 Review

  The tour stars: Diggy Simmons, Mindless Behavior, Jacob Lattimore, OMG Girlz, Hamilton Park, and the New Boyz (they didn't perform).

My Ticket :)

 

   On September 30, 2011, Tristan, myself, and two of our friends attended the Scream Tour concert. The tour started in our hometown Augusta, GA, at the Bell Auditorium. This was the first time in awhile a "teen concert" came to the Aug. So, we were really excited to go.

My Diggy badge

         So I (Tristan) will be talking about the performances of the artists. The first performer was an Augusta native Tika-Boo she did pretty good, then the O.M.G. Girlz hit the stage and did their thing ...T.I. made an appearance with them and it was off the chain! Hamilton Park got their grown and sexy on and had all the ladies going wild...lolx. Then Jacob Lattimore performed and he was great. He is a really good dancer and singer. He brought out an artist named King Issa (he was too fine) and they did their thing. Diggy hit the stage next and went hard he was my favorite performer. He was really interactive with the crowd. And, last but not least Mindless Behavior blew the girls away with their performance, even though they're 13-14 they were on their grown man status. All in all the concert was off the hook and if I could I would attend it again. I believe the next concert we will go to will be a Drake concert...it will probably be in Atlanta.

Movie Monday!!!

J. Alana's movie choice

   Hands down, Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon was the best movie of the 2011 summer. The movie stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel and Josh Turturro. It was released to theaters on June 29 at 12:05 AM (I went to the 12:15 AM showing). Besides being a huge Tranformers fan (book bag, folders, notebooks, ect) the movie was action packed, great story line, and just an AWESOME movie!!! It was released to DVD on September 30.

T. Christina's movie choice!
