Don't worry I'm not closing. I just want to type up a quick blog before I go to bathe. Where do I start? Hmm...

Site
I've made quite a few updates! Added some tutorials and I tried organizing the site up. Hopefully it'll be easier to navigate, let me know okay? All the updates can be found on the sidebar.
Have you noticed? A new layout. I was fed up with the previous one, in the past 3 layouts I've been using models. The photos are absolutely beautiful! Give your opnion on it.

My Life
My life has been slow and so routine. Don't you get tired of doing the same thing over? I have. Plus I've been feeling really tired and almost exhausted from school. I stayed home Friday, I wanted a day off from school. Its just so draining.

My dad came back from where he went but I've been on the internet so much its hard for him to call here. I really want to go back fishing and catch myself another Ted! He was a delicious fish though...I'm cruel

I also really want to go the beach so much. I love the beach, I just feel so free there. My friends suck, all of them go to the beach way more than me but they hate it!
Well those are some random things in my life right now, like I said its going pretty slow and kind of routine.

Topic of the day...or week?
Okay a couple of days ago I got really angry with the music being played. Have you ever listened to some of the songs?! The lyrics are crap yet they're topping charts and are #1 everywhere.

Warning Contains some profanity.
Some songs are just about a whole lotta sex. What postion, who they suck, how they do it. I don't want to know what girl you're f***ing or how kinky she is.
The easy solution is to turn off the radio or change the station but the songs are being overplayed everywhere.

I confess, there are songs I like with crappy lyrics but such awesome beats. But singers are overdoing it! I was in a car and some horrible sex song came on and I was with my mom. Do you know how uncomfortable I felt?

There are 2 things I love in a song; a great beat and good lyrics. Sometimes its rare to find this combination. They're so much amazing unknown singers out there with beautiful voices. Yet the only thing most teens like to listen to are those crappy songs.
And when you like something different you're considered an outsider. I wish if society or alteast my class could become more open minded.

Share your opinion on modern music please.
Enjoy your week

I went fishing! For the first time ever, my aunt carried us down La Vega estate (not las vegas!) and we went down by the pond. I'm not an expert at fishing, nor am I even good at it. I basically suck...I caught one small fish.
It was fun though. My aunt killed a fish when she pulled a big fish out hard and it almost hit her car. It was funny but I felt sorry for them. The poor fishes being pulled out of their habitat with horrible hooks and then slammed against the ground and put in this tiny container!

My grandpa caught this huge one and it slapped him against his chest...I helped him pull it up. I felt really sorry for this one cause it actually swallowed the hook and they had to cut his mouth open. I couldn't look and I think I was slightly tramautized by the whole thing; made me want to give up fish and meat all together.

It was such a nice place though, the weather and the family together. We got a good bit of fish but I felt so guilty. I know I eat fish but I don't watch people catch it and gut it in front of me! I mean the fish is already dead when its home, it makes it a little more edible..? That's a weird logic but if I see what I'm going to be eating, killed in front of me, I won't want it.

Most of the fishese were still living when we brought them home and we got 3, a big one, medium sized and small one. The medium one lived a little longer and I formed a connection with it I fed it and took care of it for some hours till it died at 2:00 a.m. R.I.P Ted. For some reason I named it Ted.

Anyhow that was my exciting trip fishing, I think I may go next week but I'm not sure. I haven't updated much. Added the first premade layout and completed a review. Feel free to apply. I also converted the below blog to an article.

Tomorrow is school...eck.
Physics....ehh hate it.

Cutting yourself
Have you ever cut yourself? What is your opinion on slicing your own skin? More and more teenagers are resorting to cutting themselves...would you ever? This blog is some information on cutting.

Definition of Cutting
Injuring yourself on purpose by making scratches or cuts on your body with a sharp object — enough to break the skin and make it bleed — is called cutting. Cutting is a type of self-injury. People may cut themselves on their wrists, arms, legs, or bellies.

Why?
Cutting is a way for people to cope with the pain of strong emotions or upsetting problems. I knew this girl who cut herself and people said she seeked attention; it was her way of crying for help. People are judged badly for inflicting injury upon themselves but its a way to release this intense emotional tension and sometimes it makes you feel like you're in control.

The urge to cut might be triggered by strong feelings a person cannot express; they often say no one understands them or they don't fit in. Some people who cut have had a traumatic experience or reinflicting the pain they went through.

What happens to the person
Cutting can become a habit and it is dangerous. The more a person cuts, the deeper the wounds become and the more a person will feel the urge to cut themself. A lot of times the scars are permanent. The wounds can become infected and there is a possibility that you may accidentally hit an artery and possibly bleed to death. Also it does have a painful effect on the people you love such as friends and family.

To be cool
For some reason cutting has become "cool". People show off their scars and proudly cut themselves in front of you.
If someone tells you should cut yourself; walk away. Never let someone influence you into cutting yourself. As I said before it is very dangerous. If someone wants you to cut they're no good. That person needs a lot of help.

Help?
Tell someone Talk to family, a friend, a teacher or somebody you trust. You will feel better when let it out.

Get to the problem Discover what makes you feel the urge to cut. Getting to the root of the problem is a great step in helping yourself. Try to avoid situations which make you want to cut yourself.

Calm yourself There are healthy ways in which you can express your emotions. Write, paint, scream or go for a walk. Remove all sharp objects from your room (knives, broken glass, razors, anything pointed and sharp). If you still feel the urge, lie down on your bed and close your eyes and relax. Stay this way until the urge goes away. Also cry! Don't let it build up inside. Go somewhere quiet where no one can disturb you and cry. Its not embarrassing; no one is going to see you. Get help.

There are lots of sites that can give you more information on cutting/suicide/depression. Check them out.

Hope you found some of this information useful. Next time you see or hear something about someone cutting themselves, don't make a face and judge the person. They are going through something that we may not always understand. Be sensitive towards their feelings and try to help them help themselves.
This topic was inspired by a very close friend of mines.
You never know if your best friend could be hurting herself.
