Tunisian man ignites the revolts

In case you haven’t heard there isn’t peace in the Middle East, between the War in Iraq, the hunt for the Taliban and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict the Middle East cant seem to get a bit of calm out of the chaos.

Recently the chaos has exploded in Egypt with protests and rallies demanding for the president Mumbarack to step down after 30 years in office and a demand for democracy. 

The question to pose is what ignited this fire within the Egyptian citizens?

“Mohamed Bouazizi, a desperate and unemployed young Tunisian man, set himself on fire Dec. 17 when officials denied him a permit to sell vegetables on the streets of Sidi Bouzid.”

This act lead to the original protests in Tunisia towards government corruption but since has been quelled.

In my opinion, this upset gave Egypt’s people the confidence to stand up for themselves and take control of their government. With limited freedom of speech, sky rocketing inflation, unemployment and low minimum wages, the protesters demand for the president to leave and to leave now.

These protests became global with the help of social media and Google. With footage aired over the web and Twitter releasing updates of the protests from day one to the present.

“Interviewed on CNN Wael Ghonim, Egyptian Google executive said, “If u want to free a society give them interent.”

With Mumbarack stepping down, the question to ask now is how will Egypt find a way to transition to a democracy peacefully?

To answer I look to the Egyptian military which has the surplus of money in this rich country.  Their best bet is to model themselves after Turkey and become the Muslim, Democracy they so wish to be.

left at the altar

So I guess there are some things you cant take back. I call it word vomit. After an outpour of tears and choking that occur every half hour or so.  I completed a car ride filled with friends but unfortunately every alternative break up rock song and country song seemed to fill the car at the most inopportune times and I choked into my jeans gasping for a breath trying to off set my second panic attack. 

People make mistakes and some yes are soo beyond horrible they should not be mentioned after they occur EVER again. but everyone is human and deserves understanding and love. Not some bitter shit called a break within a minute and a half as if a year and a half of your life never mattered as if your biggest dream ended and every star u ever wished on fell from the sky.

At this point i dont know what to do. there is no one to hold me and tell me its ok. but the next person that does wont be for a while to come. When they promise they will never hurt you bc they love you too much. Puhhlease ladies, be realistic and just hope that when they do, they break you gently and give you fair warning.  

It was perfect until it wasnt im moving on to better things. not men for sure. just going to focus on me and my future. let my hair down and go out for once. It really isnt my thing but now i need to give this whole being a “real” college student a shot. 

i just feel as though i wasted a part of myself and gave soo much of myself to someone who threw it back at me. 

Gobbled me up put my heart through a shredder than gave it back to me on a plate with some lovely garnish. wow what a waste of love. i feel like a fool. 

cant believe im posting this garbage.

good news!  i totally found a lacy black bra on the floor in my hallway and i intend to wash it and wear it. 

bad news…im still a size A

good news! the bra is a size A with great push up ;)

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray…

With Thanksgiving on the way I would like to say a little thanks to the woman (in my opinion) upstairs for blessing me with such a wonderful life.  If u don’t want to read all the cheese il just list here who’s in it lol.

Family, Daniel, UF, AEPHI, Evvy and Chelsie

First and foremost I have the most incredible family.  My mommy Gayle means the world to me. I cant help but always hope that I am making her proud, someday I hope I will be a great mother just like her <3 Of course my dad is the most caring and understanding in the world and Lily is just a handful but yet so much fun to have. I may complain about her but being away just makes me miss her more. I hope someday she will be my best friend and we will do EVERYTHING together. My mema has kept me sane lately and for that I thank her. She makes me find control and peace in a chaotic new world.

Separate from my family I would like to give thanks for the most incredible boyfriend that one could EVER ask for.  From standing at the bottom of the stairs with a rose to holding me and staring into my eyes I know that I have found the most special man in the world and I am never letting go.  He makes me feel safe and warm even from 3 hours away. I love the way he tickles me when I sing the belly button song and how he lets me dream of our future out loud. Baby names and all J

As for UF Im thankful that I have been given the strength to start growing up.  I have found a major and real classes that I am excited to tackle. For once I am embracing th challenge rather than circumventing it.  Its time to grab the bull by the horns and enter the real world.  If I cant handle college than there is not way I can handle law school. So here goes everything I have. 

And last but not least I am thankful for AEPHI <3 lately I had been quite skeptical of the sorority thing but recently  have found a new feeling of belonging here. Im thankful for a place to go when I need a home away from home with comfy couches and coffee.  And I am thankful for not being lonely in this school. As for my big Evvy <3 I am beyond thankful for her! She is amazing and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better.  She is someone to be silly with and dye my hair while laughing at our boyfriends cute quirks. 

As for Chelsie, I am thankful for a friend that is always there for me. I miss her terribly and want my best friend here with me.  I cannot wait to see her Tuesday and catch up bc nothing is the same without her.  With Chelsie I don’t have to be normal. I can be myself and have a great laugh acting silly while eating panini’s and drinking bubble tea. I

so i changed the post. whatever works. i guess ill hold it inside what else is new anyway. Finally found an outlet that soothes me and now i guess it must be taken away. goodbye mind. goodbye body. goodbye soul and link…

Its not always easy but maybe life can be deceiving, its always better when were together.” -Jack Johnson

I guess the honeymoon stage is over and we are finally fighting. I know this is supposed to be bad but i just feel closer to him. Every time we fight and make up we become stronger. And its not constant it plateaus for a while. When you have someone who is wonderful and amazing you never let go. Im finally at the resting place in that dept. Its always better when were together <3

So as the world caves in and i feel like im drowning, Someone pulls me out of the rubble and puts me back on top. Than im knocked down again and again and again. But i guess ts just the process of life.

Having only 2 days a week of structure scares me because im still stressed and cant find the time for other things.

Explain myself? Honestly I cant. The only explanation is that time goes by too fast and there is still so much to ponder about. Hmm…. Why dont i workout. A possible explanation is that it cuts into my FB time or worse I might actually have to wash my hair again and Im too lazy. Pathetic.

Listen Lindsay your having an out of body expirience right now. Dont question it just listen. Only you can pave the road to fufillment. stop looking for friends and they will come to you. Ugh linds thats way easier said than done. W/E it all will work out in the end. Fuck its not worked out yet and Spring term is here. So ill set another end and continue with the bitter dissapointment Im becoming.

I just want to make a best friend here at UF (thats a girl), have a hot body, get straight A’s and save thw world all from my little bubble. Well now i guess my bubble is going to pop. I cant handle it anymore. It’s now gonna go my way or the highway. 

And i am beyond excited for harry potter land. A world of wonder and butter beir!!!! Vundabar :)

In your endo!!!

If your vagina could talk what would it say?

This quetsion was posed to me online by some flier an honestly I cant help but think what my vagina would say?

Damn!  Would i give it my personality or a hidden one that i always wanted to show?

I think mine would have some kind of sex kitten voice lol. Like out of a bond movie ;) but who knows. I must give this some thought and post back later. Maybe ill go write a monologue, after i learn to play guitar and save those with out human rights. Peace out cub scout 

If he starts as a little soldier than becomes a general that makes me a battlefield so he better go and  get his armer lmao <3 gotta love these inuendos
