Invasion of Privacy

so hearing this story this morning makes me really sad and upsets me that someone would do this. I mean these two people who filmed this guy and put it on the internet..LIVE...have absolutely no respect for people. Its insane that they could possibly think that its ok to do that...no matter if the guy is gay or not...there is never a reason to invade someones privacy like that...and look what happened...the guy who was filmed ended his life. A life that was just begining...was ended because someone didnt have the decency to not make fun of him and leave him alone...they had to think only of themselves. Now I am sure that the thought this guy would kill himself over this never crossed their minds...but nonetheless, they should never have invaded his privacy like they did. They should have thought how they would feel if the same thing happened to them. Although yes, the guy killed himself because of how he was treated, should they two peeping toms be charged with man slaughter or murder? I really dont know....they personally did not kill him BUT what they did made him feel so horrible and embarrassed that he killed himself. The two people who were filming him probably never thought that they would be charged with murder or get in any trouble...they just thought it would be a joke...and that nothing would come of it....well, they were wrong. This is a lesson for all of us...there are consequences for our actions..so think about what you do before you do it. Think about the other people involved instead of just thinking about yourself. Think about how you would feel if the same thing happened to you. What happened to this poor guy is a tragedy and should not be taken lightly..but from this we can learn something and be reminded about how much they way we treat people can affect them. Be kind and thoughtful of other people....put them before yourself.

Sociology

sooooo we all have those classes we just cant stand right? well mine would have to be sociology. Idk this class just is so boring to me and it does not interest me at all whatsoever. To me this class should be called DUH! All the professor talks about is like statistics and what if this happened or this happened and its just not my thing. BUT its one of those classes that i just have to take and get it over with. Maybe its the professor but all i know is that i dislike sociology with a passion and cannot wait until its over. haha i dont suggest you take it..but it may be your thing...its NOT mine. Its almost ridulous...haha

To Save A Life

The movie "To Save A Life" came out i think sometime last year but I just saw sunday. The main character(Jake) is this guy who seems to have everything going for him...the pretty girlfriend, the best basketball player, the scholarship he wanted, and the right friends. In his early years he had been best friends with this other kid in the movie(Roger) and when they were around 8 years old his friend saved his life by pushing him out of the way of a car, getting hit himself. The accident caused this kid to have a limp from his knee which caused him not to be able to play sports. As they got into highschool the two friends drifted apart, one became popular and one became a laughing stock of many people. When they were in 12th grade this kid who had been rejected by so many people and had been made fun of finally snapped, and bnrought a gun into the school and started shooting. He didnt shoot anyone, but himself. Jake was right there when Roger shot himself. Jake had know idea that Roger had been feeling so alone and didnt realize how much he had left him out and not been a friend to him. What happened with Roger completely turned Jakes life around and made him think about how he treated people and made him into a comletely different person. He didnt care anymore what people thought about him and didnt let how someone looked judge what he thought about them. He wasnt concerned with if people were "cool" enough to be his friend...he was a friend to everyone. He was willing to sacrifice his "reputation" and his former "friends" to do the right thing and not be a jerk to other people. The most important thing though that happened in the movie, what really changed Jake, was Jesus. Jake became a Christian in this movie and that is what truly changed his heart. The people making this movie were trying to get many points across...one being that words and actions really do hurt and you dont really know how badly they can hurt. They can even drive a person to think that they are so worthless..enough to take their own life...like Roger did. They want people to be aware of how they treat people and to realize that the outward appearance is not the most important thing...that just because someone may not dress or look the same as you does not give you the authority to judge and make fun of them and it doesnt make them any less "cool" than you. Highschool is one of the meanest places on earth sometimes I think. As teenagers we can be so judgemental of other people and we care about what people think of us and how "cool" or popular we are. Who can say what is "cool" and what isnt? We need to take our eyes off ourselves for a change and care about other people...you never know how your words can influence people...let your words influence for good.  Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.Eph.4:29

Homeschool

I was never homeschooled and I never wanted to be. Ok wait, I take that back, on  the days that I was sooo tired I wished I was homeschooled...jus so I could sleep longer. But I never really wanted to be and my parents never even considered it. Now I'm not against it at all! I have lots of friends who were either homeschooled their whole lives or for just a few years, its just not the best for me. I LOVE to be around people and my friends and having to be at home for school would have driven me crazy. I live about an hour away from civilization and so being out there even more than I already am would have probably sent me into a state of depression or something. haha Although I didnt really like the "school" aspect of school, I loved the friends that I got to see and hang out with everyday....school is how I met and made friends...I would not have gotten to do that if I had been homeschooled. I wouldnt have met the best friends I have today if my parents had kept me home.
I think that school helps develop social skills and teaches you lessons that would be difficult to learn if you are at home all the time. Like it helps you learn how to be a leader and stand up for yourself in tough situtations. Now I'm not saying that you cant learn lessons like this at home but you are garaunteed this at school because you have peers all around you for five to seven hours a day and you will be faced with difficult circumstances. I am glad I was not homeschooled for these reasons and others as well but I have absolutely nothing against it.

Series

The Hamlet paper, the Thesis paper, every paper, shaped my writing skills that I have today.

That conversation changed the way I thought, saw, and felt about this situation.

There are absolutely no words, no actions, and no person who could take this feeling out of me.

Highschool changes...revisited

If I was in charge of my highschool what would I change?? Well I actually really loved my highschool..although the uniforms got annoying sometimes and some of the rules i thought were ridiculous...like for example there were only certain types of nail polish you could wear and only certain color shoes. Yeah it was kind of ridiculous. but all in all i really did love it. But if i had to change something it would be that we would have our own gym and have a football team probably. The whole not having a gym situation was hard on our basketball coaches because they had to find somewhere for us to practice and that was just a hassel all in itself. Sometimes before the season started we werent sure where we werwe going to practice...but like always something was available at the last minute.
My highschool was very small and every one knew everyone...haha sometimes that got kind of old but now I look back and cherish all those friendships that I had. Eastwood has a very family like atmosphere and you feel like you are part of a big family if you go there. If I could change something I would have more school functions like dances and stuff like that. I would give more uniform choices for the girls. I mean no I didnt like the uniforms but it sure did make getting ready for school easy..i didnt really have to think about what i was going to wear. haha I would proabably do like every Friday you could wear what you wanted too...of course their would still be guidlines on the clothing though. I mean if i could I would just take the whole uniform policy away...BUT theres no way on earth that would ever happen. hahah ummm lets see...anything else i would change? I mean we were done with school at 140, we had a holiday at least once a month...I cant really complain. Like i said, i really liked my highschool and theres not much i would change about it.

RIP Sweet Virginia

There really are no words to explain the pain and emotions I have felt in the last few days. A friend, a team mate, and a sister in Christ was taken from this earth late Saturday night in a car accident. Virginia was the sweetest girl I had ever known..like I really couldnt think of any fault I had ever seen in her. She could light up a room with her smile....she was beautiful. But she wasnt just beautiful on the outside but more importantly she was beautiful on the inside. She loved the Lord with everything in her and she loved people. She loved to help people and encourage them. Virginia was dearly loved and will be missed greatly by all her friends, family and basketball team. She was an awesome basketball player by the way:) But although she will be missed, I know that she is in a better place, shes in heaven with her Savior.

I have had many different emotions flow through me in the last couple of days but I have come to the realization and have been reminded that everything happens for a reason and that nothing happens without God being in control of it. Virginia lived life to the fullest and honored God with her life, but Saturday night was her time to leave this earth. God knows how many days that we will be on this earth and when its our time, His will, will be done. This reminds me that no one knows when our time to die will be, and because of that we should live for the Lord with every second we have and love on people and encourage them. In spite of this sad and tragic event God will use this and work a miracle through it...we may not see it happen but He will recieve glory from her death. The Bible says that "Everything works together for good for those who love him." It also says that God has a plan for us, plans not to harm us but for hope and a future. So even though she will be missed we must stand up confidently with hope in Jesus and keep moving...it will be slow at first but we will get through it, but only because of Jesus.

Please keep the family and friends in your prayers...these are going to be rough days ahead.

Textual Analysis

For years women have been trying to find the next best thing to make themselves more attractive to other people. Some have gone to desperate measures to “make” themselves appear more beautiful or likable. These two ads are completely ridiculous in their way of advertising and promising popularity and beauty. Both ads advertise that their product will make the customer the happiest and that they cannot possibly live without it. These two ads over dramatize the problem they are supposedly “fixing” and promise to do more than what is humanly possible.

The first ad, “For Your Dream of Romance”, is an ad for a makeup line. First off, the ad states that the woman will get to hold a man tonight “with Hollywood’s thrilling new beauty secrets”. Already, before even actually reading the text, the seller of this product is saying that Hollywood has the best secret to beauty and that you will even get a man if you buy these products. Last time I checked, Hollywood’s beauty secrets are not keeping the man in the arms of the woman long, if you get my drift. The ad goes on to say “be what he wants you to be”. The ad is telling the women to change yourself to please a man, that how you are naturally is not good enough. Then it says “be what you want to be-lovely-fresh-young-vibrant!”. Again, this ad is telling the women what they want; it is deciding for them. The ad talks about how this Hollywood makeup is “glorious magic” and that no other makeup could possibly do what “Hollywood’s” makeup can. Probably the best line in the entire ad is the one that says, “A facial such as the exciting new Hollywood Mask is vital to intelligent skin care”. So now, not only is this makeup magical and will make you attract men, but, it also makes you smart. It is saying that if you use this facial mask then you are automatically making an intelligent decision. The ad ends with stating that women all over America have tried this makeup or have “turned to it” like it is some kind of saving grace.

The second ad is an ad for a book, “Better than Beauty”. The ad begins with a discouraging comment right at the top, it says, “You, too, can be more beautiful, charming and popular at once!” The seller is already assuming that the woman reading this ad think so lowly of themselves and are completely socially inept basically.  The ad begins with a question “what has ‘she’ got that I haven’t?” and goes on to ask if you ask yourself that question. The ad asks if we want to know why some girls are so happy and popular while others are lonely and depressed. It states that they have the secret of popularity, “You must “highlight” and dramatize your strong points, and hide your weak ones. When you learn how to do this, you have learned the “inside story” of a girls success.” The ad is saying that the woman needs to hide part of her personality and being popular is the ultimate success of a girl. This ad goes on to say that girls who have read this book and put it into practice have received “astonishing popularity” and also states that with this book you will become someone the boys admire and the girls envy. At the bottom of the ad there is a coupon for “How to Charm with Color”. The most ridiculous claim is made in this paragraph. The seller claims that, “Girls who wear a certain color more readily receive marriage proposals than those who wear the other colors”. And this comes FREE with the purchase of the “Better than Beauty” book! Last time I checked, a marriage proposal was not based on what color clothes the woman wore.  Both of these ads degrade women and try and make them think that they are worthless without these products.

FALL:)

Fall is finally almost here!!! All the signs are here football is the first sign that my favorite time of year is here.  I love what fall brings with it..football...time with family and friends....changing leaves...and Food!(thanksgiving to be specific). I love walking outside my house in the morning and not breaking out into a sweat after only being outside for a minute. I love breathing in that cool crisp air. Fall also brings a change in what people wear...I love winter clothes like sweaters and jeans and boots. So of course the change of the clothing i wear demands more....SHOPPING:) haha so yes the change in the season also brings some shopping with it and usually there are some awesome sales going on during this time.
One of my favorite times is during Thanksgiving when my entire family gets together. Of course the food is absolutely amazing but I love the time I get to spend with family members I dont see often. My family will gather at a house for a few hours and we will eat till we are stuffed and just talk and be with each other. But back to the food...my grandfather always fries a turkey for thanksgiving and there is always stuffing and a million different kind of casseroles..green bean, pinnapple...and some that i have no idea what they are. haha and then the desserts...oh yes the best part:) there is, like the casserroles, a million different things to choose, from pound cake to pecan pie to blackberry cobbler.

"You are Still Holy"

Ok so this song, "You are Still Holy" is one of my favorite songs. The basic theme of the song is that God is still Holy and still in control even when our world seems to be falling apart. The first verse says :
"Holy, You are still holy, even when the darkness surrounds my life,
and soverign You are still soverign, even when confusion has blinded my eyes.
And Lord I dont deserve Your kind affection
When my unbelief has kept me from Your touch
I want my life to be a pure reflection of Your love."
This verse is saying that yes, God is still in control but also it reminds me that I am so unworthy of His love because so many times I feel like I need to take control because God isnt big enough to take care of my problems or worries but even in that unbelief God still does take care of me and still loves me. The chorus says:
"So I come, into Your chambers, and I dance at Your feet Lord
You are my Savior, and I'm at Your mercy,
And all that has been in my life until now
It belongs to You, for You are still holy."
The chorus of this song talks about how when we are in trouble how we can bodly approach the throne of God and sit with Him and He will comfort us, take care of us, and have mercy on us. It talks about giving everything that has been in our lives to Him and letting Him take control of it because we cannot possibly live without Him. He wants 100% of our life.
The second verse is my absolute favorite. It has spoken to me so much throughout many sturggles and worries I have been through in my life. It says:
"Holy, You are still holy
Even when I dont understand Your ways,
Soverign You are still soverign
Even when my circumstances dont change.
And Lord i dont deserve Your tender patience
When my unbelief has kept me from Your truth
I want my life to be a pure devotion to You.."
This verse talks about how the Lord is still in control and still is God even when we do not understand why things happen. Like why would terrorists attack America...or a raging hurricance destroy an entire city...or someone's baby dying or anything like that. Why do things like this happen? Well we cannot possibly understand the mind of God or many times His way of doing things but we can know that He is still in control and still loves us, even when circumstances like that happen. The second part talks about how even when we pray and ask God for something or someone to get better, or for something not to happen, but it does, that He still is soverign and in control. Many times in our lives God may not heal our family members or friends or answer our prayers the way we think they should be answered but even in that sadness and worry and grief the Lord still is in control and cares for us and loves us. We have to remember that His plan is better than our own and that His plans are not for harm but for good. Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

My Wonderful Wonderful Weekend :)

ok so I'm gonna get a little sappy on here for this post so bear with me :) well this weekend was wonderful...as you can see by the title :) My boyfriend drove down from Troy, Tennessee on friday and spent the weekend with me and my family. He lives about 7 1/2 hours away from Montgomery. We met over the summer at this camp down at the beach where we were both leaders at. He has been down three times to visit now since then..i coulnt ask for a better boyfriend:) so anyways he drove down friday and got to montgomery around 3pm. I didnt get off work till four...and all of a sudden while i was waiting and waiting for the clock to strike FOUR....a bouquet of roses showed up in my office at work:) 3 lavender roses, 2 yellow, and one red rose. Yes, he brought them by and gave them to someone to put on my desk:) so this is how the weekend started...not a bad start if you ask me:) ok well after work i got all dressed up and he took me out to this nice restaurant in Old Cloverdale called The Chophouse Vintage Year....it was fabulous! :) THen we decided to go see Inception at the Rave. Then we went home. ok so the next day we went to a wedding reception for one of my friends and then to the lake with the youth group from my church. THat was a blast! The best part though was that he was with me:) ok well sunday we went to church, then out to eat with my sunday school class. Then the hard part came....we had to say goodbye. He had to go back home sunday after lunch. So we went to shakespear and walked around a little bit and then to the gas station so he could fill up his car before he left. It gets harder and harder everytime he visits for me to tell him goodbye:( I cried the whole way home..which is about on hour for me...yeah it wasnt pretty. But all this to say my weekend was wonderful:) and I have a wonderful boyfriend:)

A Must Have-Let Down

ok well I do this alot. I see an add for something and I'm like "OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO HAVE THAT!" yeah....its bad. Well....I did this yesterday in fact....hahah so one of my favorite stores is Ulta..located in Eastchase:). It's a makeup/cosmetics store and I'm a sucker for anything like that. Well the store was giving away this free gift with any $25 purchase of the kind of makeup I wear. And it was this makeup stuff that I had been wanting to try but it was pretty expensive so I had not bought it...YET ;) ok so I go to Ulta and get my $25 dollars worth of my makeup...yes I spent $25 just for a free gift, and they hand me my free gift and to say I was dissapointed when I got to my car and opened it, would be an understatement. It was supposed to be this pretty big container of makeup...well it wasnt. It was probably the smallest thing of makeup they made..like this stuff MAY last a week...MAYBE...and I paid $25 for it. I was not happy. But it taught me a lesson....I really shouldnt go and by something or spend money just to get the free gift that in reality I dont really need anyways. The store advertised this free gift very well though. And they acted like they were giving the actual larger bottle of makeup...oh but NO. So I learned not to trust the stores advertisements anymore as well:) So yes this is something Ashley needs to work on:)....control..and learning to be happy with what I have, instead of always wanting the next best thing.

The Weekend

OK sooo, I had plans for this weekend. My friend was coming back from Mobile and we were gonna go to the Auburn game together and hang out and etc...well I woke up Saturday and felt terrible. So in short, I didnt go to the game. I was not happy cause I was supposed to see like all my friends that I havent seen in a while but sadly that did not happen. Well yes I was upset BUT two of them were going to drive back down to Montgomery that night and come to church with me Sunday morning. Well...Saturday night i got a text from my friend that said they were staying in Auburn and gonna go to church there. I WAS NOT HAPPY. haha I wanted to see them and now i wasnt going to be able to see them and I had no clue when I was going to be able to see them again. So I was really sad...and kinda mad at them, haha but anyways I got up Sunday morning went to church, and as Im sitting there, in walks my friends! haha they lied to me when they said that they were staying in Auburn...they wanted to surprise me:) so yeah anyways I wasnt upset anymore and I got to see them. haha well Monday was great...I did nothing but work on some homework and tuesday I had to work from 1-4pm and then I went to Buffalo Wild Wings. They serve 50 cent wings on Tuesday nights just FYI...its amazing :) Well thats my weekend...Hope yall had an awesome weekend! :)

My Own Literacy Narrative

The room was silent, except for the light, bored tapping of pencils and the heavy sighs as my teacher explained our class's assignment. She was assigning our senior thesis, something every one of us had been dreading since the ninth grade. I was not really paying any attention to what she was saying until the words "it must be fifteen or more pages" came out of her mouth. I knew that it had to be that long from previous seniors complaining about it, but when it hit me that I had to write that much, I was shocked. I thought to myself "fifteen pages?!! What is she thinking? I can't write fifteen pages!" Even the thought of having to write fifteen or more pages scared me to death and I knew there was possible way I could do this. During the first few days of trying to think of something to write about my head was spinning and I was already stressing out about this monster of a paper. A thesis paper is not just your regular research paper, it is basically a defensive paper, so of course along with writing the defense we had to verbally defend our paper and opinions on the book in front of a panel of four people. This just packed on the stress even more.


Dr. Klucking, my literature teacher, warned us in the eleventh grade that the thesis would come faster than we imagined, but as usual I did not even take that into consideration and did not worry about it all summer. Then, like a train wreck, the work load hit our class. She began assigning the thesis statement, the first page, and so on. The first step I had to make was to choose what book I wanted to do my thesis on. I chose Gulliver's Travels as my thesis book and decided my thesis would be on the satire of the government in England that Jonathan Swift portrayed in his book. Before I knew it the first page was due, then the first five, and the first ten, then all of a sudden the first draft of the entire paper was due in just a few days. Throughout the entire time of writing this defense I had stressed out moments, anger moments, and complete breakdown moments. There were times that I thought that I was going to fail and not be able to graduate, but finally the day came where the paper was done and that feeling was indescribable. Once my verbal defense was complete and I walked out of that room I felt so free and felt like I could do anything. It gave me confidence in the writing area of my life.

At the beginning of the paper I was scared to death of writing such a huge paper, but thanks to Dr. Kluckings help, guidance, and support throughout the entire paper, I was able to complete it, without dying that is. The thesis paper taught me how to manage my time wisely along with teaching my how to write. I can't just spit out fifteen pages on the night before it's due and expect to pass; I had to write one to two pages at least, a week. Dr. Klucking would have two to three pages due each week which also helped in managing my time. This paper took the procrastinator right out of me; there was no way I could procrastinate with this paper and receive a passing grade. This writing task was difficult and challenged me greatly, but I came out on the other side of this challenge as an improved writer and a confident one. Although I still do not love to write I have learned to like it and to not be scared of a writing assignment given to me.I have confidence that I need for any future writing assignments in college or wherever I go. This thesis paper brought out the writer that I never knew was inside of me and I am thankful, although it was painful, for this challenge.

Discourse Communities

Throughout a persons life, they are involved with many discourse communities. The discourse communites tell their life story, what a person likes to do or what they are interested in. These communities create a way for people to come together under an idea or topic and discuss it; they unite people. Three discourse communities that I am most involved in or the three most important "languages" I speak are Jesus, music, and sports.


The most important community for me, would have to be Jesus. Ever since I can remember i have been in church and been completely involved with it. My dad was raised Methodist and my mom Baptist. Specifically I have been raised Baptist and grown up in the Baptist church but instead of saying I belong to the Baptist community I must say I just belong to Jesus. So many times it is easy to get caught up in saying the right thing in church or being one way at church and another way at school or with friends. Many times I have tried to hide the fact that I speak Jesus because of what people might think. But over the years I have learned that I should not and can not be ashamed of sharing the gospel with people and that I should not be scared of what people may think of me. Jesus was brutally tortured for me, how can I even think of being ashamed of Him. He has redeemed me and set me free of my sin so I would not have to die, but I have hope that I will live with Him in heaven for eternity. He died for me, so i live for Him.

Another discourse community or language I speak is music. My father has been playing the piano since he was about five years old and has played in bands, for pagents, for churches, and pretty much anything else. His love and passion for music inspired me to begin taking piano when I was eight years old. Throughout the years of practicing and being forced to practice I began to dislike this instrument very much to the point of completely ending my lesson taking all together. This ended up being the best discision i made. After I stopped taking in about the eighth grade, my dad began to teach me and I taught myself as well. I learned more that way than all the years combined of taking lessons. This also taught me how to teach things to myself instead of someone else having to teach me, and this inspired me to learn how to play guitar. I have fallen in love with music and playing instruments, its a refuge for me when i get stressed or iritable. It has also allowed me to be in bands and now lead our youth band at church. I am very thankfull to speak this language, without it, I would be lost.

Sports is another language that I speak, not as well as I would like, but I still love it. I have grown up in the south all my life and college football is almost like a religion here. When football season starts, my Saturdays include nothing but the TV pretty much. My grandmother and mom are some of the biggest football fans I know. My grandmother's TV literally never goes off on Saturdays untill she decides to go to bed. When I meet someone I have to watch myself because one of my first questions sometimes is, "Are you an Alabama or Auburn fan?", just assuming that they are on one side or the other, and I am shocked when they ask "Who is that?'. This discourse community is one of the biggest communites that can bring people together. The huge stadiums filled with people, bars and restaurants filled with people, and homes filled with family and friends yelling at the team through the TV screen. When my family and I begin speaking this language or enter this community we become sometimes completely different people. Anger is very prevelent among us when the game begins, from start to finish someone is yelling. This community probably has one of the fastest mood changes; from anger to rejoicing all in about a minute. But, that is one thing that makes this community enjoyable.

Discourse communities a represented in everyones life. Everyone is part of some kind of community and speaks different kinds of languages. These are essential to our lives because this is what brings us together with other people and unites groups of people. The discourse communites I am involved with show what I am intersted in and gives a little insight into my life.

Oh The Joys Of Working

Well I got my first job this summer right after I graduated. I had been wanting to get a job for a while, I guess cause it would make me feel older and more grown up or whatever...but dad kept saying, dont have one while its not necessary..enjoy not having to work cause you will have to work the rest of your life...etc. Then, I disagreed with him and thought he was crazy....now, not so much. haha I work at Montgomery Family Medicine, a doctors office over in Sturbridge Commons. I work three days a week, two days part time and a full day on friday.  I work in the medical records department...no I dont get to stick anyone with needles or anything like that yet ;) but anyways, I do enjoy my job, just at many times it is stressful and especially now since school has started, I wish I could sleep in when I have to get up in the mornings and go to work. But it does keep the money coming in so thats a HUGE bonus;) Also I am hoping this job will get me some experience since I plan on majoring in Nursing and I hope it will look good on a resume. Well this is my first and only job I have ever had and after working there for a while I now understand what my dad means when he comes home and is so tired after a days worth of work. haha. One good thing about this job is that it has brought in money and I have had to learn how to manage it as well. But all in all this job has been a good experience and I think will continue to be.
