My newest tattoo, not yet finished!! I plan to add the words courage and faith ... So I always wonder what makes people like what they like, is it their parents, experiences, school, or peers or all of it put together. I suppose its all of it put together. One of my guilty pleasures and often times impulsive decisions include tattoos and piercings. To many this seems crazy, such a permanent decision is impulsive well to me it gives me a thrill. Most of the time I have been thinking about it for a while and just one day say today is the day. A lot of times I am going through personal hardship and new things like tattoos and piercings really brighten my day. Maybe its the age I live in or maybe its just who I am. Either way I can't help but love em. I can never understand when people dont like things I have a passion for but I always respect their likes and dislikes : )

ooo Spring ooo
Spring time is my favorite time of year for three reasons – the weather, Easter, and my birthday!!! Though the weather can still be chilly in the early weeks of spring the sun immediately brightens my day when I wake up. Today is one of those days that can be pretty chilly, but the sun is out so that is the positive side of the spectrum. I am sad because tomorrow will be a rainy day of spring, but at the same time I have class all day so I am happy I will not be missing out on a beautiful day. I am very excited for Easter my mom is coming to stay for the weekend all the way from Massachusetts plus its my favorite holiday. This will be the second Easter I have not had in my home, which I grew up in my whole life. That is a bit sad to me, but I'll get over it! I love many things about Easter, but unfortunately this year I will have to miss out on one of my absolute favorites – my aunts pastitseo (a greek pasta dish). I think that I will make up for that by asking my mom to teach me to cook it, although she is not Greek, she knows how to cook some of the food because that's how it is when you marry a Greek. My favorite part of Easter is finding my Easter basket, enjoying the candy, and being forgiven. Finally, the best part of this spring is I turn 21 in May!!!

"see you’re the type that gets off on getting on other people that’s not good no homo, rather unhuman, I should say I mean giving the fact that humanity were a good humanity rather to me is helping one another no matter your color or race but this guy and people like him, they’d rather speculate before they informate if that’s a word, ha-haahha you know spec before check anyways meaning id much rather you talk to me first and see if you can lend an opinion before you link one just my thought of good humanity... and it doesn’t make you a good person to criticize before you improvise doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person either but the characteristics fall heavily into bads way, ahah but since I am human I am good and bad, as well but I try my hardest to stay good some of the things I do and say may be bad or just not to good but I do try, so with that said I don’t fault you, I mean your only human, good or bad but I also don’t respect you and I don’t care if that’s good or bad" (elyricsworld.com)
This is probably my favorite part of the song because it reminds me of two of my favorite American authors, Henry David Thoreau (Walden) and Ralph Waldo Emerson (Self-Reliacnce). One must be there unique individual self because thats what God intended them to be. We all have flaws, but as long as we try to be good and not judge before we have reasonable evidence and even so helping one another is key. These also lead to a semi - religious connotation of helping one another this was a teaching of Jesus love one another and this is how one will experience god. Lil Wayned goes on to forgive as well saying "I don't fault you," which can be seen as another religious connotation. I love every point he makes here. I absolutelt love the word choice and flow this truly makes the song for me.

"you know we don't have room in the jail now for the real mothaf**kas, the real criminals sex offenders, rapists serial killers, s**t like thatdon't get scared, don't get scared I know you saw one them sex offenders papers don’t trip he live right on the end of yo block, Mhm yea, that nigga live right down the street from you, sex offender on the level 3 drug, convicted ex-con yea check em out watch you got, you got a daughter, son , what you got.?" elyricsworld.com
I agree with his statement to an extent, however once again my knowledge is limited on jail statistics.I do not beleive drug dealers for that crime a lone should be sittin in jail, because I truly believe drugs should be legal and controlled. I believe if this were the case we would have more room in jail, more jobs and product to help the economy, plus the economy would save money by decreasing the number of persons and jail and the probono lawyers serving the lower class dealers, which tend to have the most arrests according to lil wayne. I realize this statement is very controversial, but the logic in my mind with my experience sees that there are ADDICTS and even with clinics and services to help we still have drugs on the streets. People are going to do them and find them regardless of the laws. Personally I see this as personal choice and again facts could possibly reinforce my opinion. I do not believe more people would do it and I think if its controlled all would go well. I mean why not? Because people will get addicted is one argument - America is land of the free if thats what they want to do, let them. I don't want to hurt anyone nor will I stand by a government that always it, but I do believe the law is a deterrant when it comes to drugs dealers and users. We are just consuming are jails and using a lot of money for drugs but gaining nothing. It's an inevitable situation to me, and cannot be controlled by anyone other than the government. Guns kill people quicker and easier than drugs, but drugs are illegal. It doesn't make sense.
As for sex offenders, recently I learned from a DEA officers daughter, whom researched the topic for about 6 years, that they are unable to get better - EVER EVER EVER! They always relapse. Its proven! Now would you rather a working guy trying to make a little extra money selling to someone who chooses to do drugs live next door or a sex offender who spends time in jail but never has remorse nor gets healed. It truly is a psycological disease that cannot be cured. I would rather a drug dealer provided he doesn't commit any other crimes, just like lil wayne!
