"drawing is my passion, my gateway to peace. Because when I draw everything around me disappears and I feel like I am taken to a sunny garden with swings and birds. Everythng is so peaceful and my mind is in black. All the focus and thoughts are on the object I am drawing." by JazmineI absolutely love that place, that place where we go... Its awsome, its the place we go when we are in peace and bored. it is our spot. ours only we can include what we want and what we dont want. Find pure bliss, hold on to it and control it. its yours.

Dreamers
Barak DeCelle VS. Alexander Supertramp
I feel like Alexander Super tramp. In general Im introverted. Its really strange because I constantly give off a extroverted IDGAF kind of persona. If I left after I graduated and never came back im sure people wouldnt notice... too damn bad. another thing im sure of is how much people would be missing out. If i would just let go of my responsibilities, to go live like some damn animal, One im sure i would enjoy nature/ being a nudist. but honestly my word would not be spread. I have so much to teach people; about themselves and the world.
Most people dont hold what I hold within. Sometimes its overwhelming to have so much to say, so most the time I block everything out, doing my thing with some headphone music glaring... In my mind and soul i posess animalistic qualities and senses. It doesnt seem human. I am my fathers son, but yet I am a son and soul of Mother Nature. I have this connection that i cannot explain, its like i belong with the friggin wolfs or something. I sense when there is pray around, In presence, I can read peoples thaughts and emotions extraordinarily well... call me a freak or what ever u want but Just know I am honest and far more supeirior than you puny humans. Can you with out suicide, leave your body and watch over people from above? My heart body and soul are strong like the buffalo, but you could call me crow, thats who I am. She gave me the name.

NO VACANCY ICED-LANDER HOTEL
The City Council is set to consider buying the Alameda Islander Motel and moving forward with plans to redevelop it as housing for low-income workers. The Islander’s owner wants $8 million for the property, city officials said.
The agreement would give city staff a year to come up with the money to purchase the 69-unit motel, which sits at 2428 Central Avenue. The city may need to raise up to $10 million of its own money to buy and redevelop the half-acre property, and will need to issue bonds to do so, according to a city staff report.
The council, sitting as the Community Improvement Commission, is set to discuss the proposed purchase Tuesday. City staff is also planning to seek out a developer to revamp the site.
An unnamed San Diego-based affordable housing developer had entered into an agreement to purchase the property in June, but the deal fell through when the developer was unable to negotiate a reduction in the owner’s $8 million asking price or an extension of time to complete the deal, according to the staff report.
The Islander began its life in 1971 as a 62-unit apartment building, which was later converted into a motel. About a third of the units there are exempt from paying the city’s transit occupancy tax because they house people for longer than 27 days.
Property records listed the taxable value of the motel at $1,122,781.
In other development news, the council will also consider whether to okay an exclusive agreement with Warmington Homes that would allow the developer to build homes where the Alameda Animal Shelter and the city’s Corporation Yard now stand.
The San Ramon-based developer would have 18 months to work out a deal with the city to develop 25 to 27 homes on the properties, which sit adjacent to its current Grand Marina project, at 1590 Fortmann Way and 1616 Fortmann Way. Their right to negotiate a deal would expire in May of 2012, though city staff anticipate a deal can be hammered out by August of 2011.
Meanwhile, the city would work to figure out where the animal shelter and corporation yard would go – and how they would come up with as much as $5 million to move them. The council in September allotted $376,000 to study potential relocation sites, and the study is expected to be completed in May of 2011.
Personally i would agree to get that dumb out of here and renovated. the damn hotel is disgusting and it is a breeding ground for crackheads and iced out weirdo's selling crystal meth or some crap like that! I've seen it with my own eyes.
Its not only a good for nothing dirty place with bed bugs, its party grounds for teens who want to pull all nighters, drinking or what not. i wouldn't want to party there. I read some reviews and i guess it is not uncommon to find syringes in the drawers right next to their bible. It is a really really dirty place, but for some people i guess its got its benefits, just like the golf course that they are considering getting rid of.

Im Conspiring A Sneaky Plan!
Well for about four years now Ive always bugged my father to allow me to get a puppy. Ive never owned one. to me it seemed like when I got my full point across to him, he would understand and consider allowing me to get a pup. That would get my hopes up. but every time I came close to getting everything ready, and the time to decide was coming closer. he would totally back out and deny he ever considered it...
this really bothers me. it always has. the other day i went to the dog park with a friend and her dog. sitting there while i watched the dogs play I could totally see myself being an owner of one of them. they are so full of joy and love. i just want that to be given to me freely by a friend. its hard for me to find that in a human relationship probably due to some psychological fears that i hold within. Honestly i couldn't point out what it is that drives me to keep my distance but i don't feel like opening up to everyone. Especially when there are people judging and stressing over the small stuff.
but anyways, here is my dilemma I have the money to take care of a growing puppy, i have the opportunity to get one... I'm not allowed to get one, but I'm planning on sneaking it. i would come home and somehow get the dog passed my dad with out him seeing. Maybe i could put him in my back yard until i can get him in through the back door and into my room... hmmm. my dad will definitely find out. I just hope he doesn't like, kill my dogie. i honestly don't know what he will do, that's why i will leave him at a babysitters house during my school time :)
only thing in the way is that idk if i could make enough money to pay for a baby sitter while paying for everything else as well. hmm. I have passion for this plan. I would do it. because it would be worth it and I would love it. but i could get hurt... my last dog was never a dog. he was a coward, he was a miniature pinscher. he left our family about a month ago. my step mom left him out in the back yard for hours and he got out. Her GOOD MEMORY saved my dogs life.... my dog landed in the arms of an animal patrol officer and was arrested. my dad and step mom decided to leave him there because they don't want to pay a fee, and oh yeah! don't forget, she is also allergic to dog hair... honestly she probably left my dog out on purpose. but anyways there no proof so i shouldn't be saying that. i just think its fucked up that im not allowed to get one on my own. as in a pup that i don't leave home everyday. I want a pup that i can have with me and take with me everywhere :) hopefully that will happen.
just gotta stack my money
and get the perfect dog when the time comes.
may be tomorrow or in a week. still haven't made up my mind,.maybe next year.

arguementative?
Cohen's arguement is stating an extremely well thought out point. Most people would agree that when you go shopping, its good looking employees that entice customers. I disagree because of the following three reasons. Bias views could develope towards buisnesses who only hire a certain stereo-type, someones extremely "good looks" could discourage someone not as adequate, and lastly, discrimination of employees to be hired is illegal!
From my personal experiences ive not noticed that the employees I saw while shopping could effect my influence on coming back or purchasing more product. Now that im aware of this I see this method of sales in a completely different perception. I now find that I have growing bais views towards these buisnesses who practice this strategy, mostly because they use their own bias judgement for greed and sucess. I hope that people will see things as they are, when they do Im sure that those buisnesses being discriminative towards us people, will slowly die down.
Anyhow, imagine you are in a store buying some clothes. You see someone really good looking and you realize what they are wearing, you really like it and you find it on the shelf. All your life you havent always felt the most confident. when you notice that the person who is standing infront of you is wearing what your about to buy, you get discouraged... This has never been one of my personal experiences, but I remember how it once was to not feel confident in yourself and appearance. Its pretty discouraging and discouragement by itself is powerful enough to stop and make you put back that outfit that you were about to buy, another reason against the hiring of "model-type-quality" people.
If I was caught being discriminative towards a fellow class mate of mine don't you think I would likely get into trouble? I would expect it! That's why I agree with California's law prohibiting discrimination in employment and housing on the basis of age, race, color, sex, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, medical condition, and marital status. If for no good reason, you believe you were treated differently than others, you may also be a victim of prohibited discrimination, and you should take legal actions to deal with it the right way.
In conclusion, growing bias view, getting discouraged, and discrimination in the work place, are valid reasons why i disagree with Cohen's arguement. Im sure there are other arguements directed from the other side, but this is my opinion, and these are my thoughts.
