War that has no meaning

Without a reason, there is no action. Without the cause, there is no plan. So, why does America doing things without a reason? I'm, of course, talking about the war in middle east. Today, USA TODAY headline reads "U.S. Military suicides surged to record 349 last year" and follows " far exceeding the 259 American combat  deaths in Afghanistan in 2012". You can call me whatever you like after I write this next sentence: I was/ am against the war in Middle East. I might sound like a purest but this was not our war. If anything, we are coming off as bullies who are forcing our way of life to people whom were perfectly fine governing themselves. Lead by a stupid president we elected twice, we sent our sons, fathers, brothers, daughters, mothers to war that is meaningless. What happened to the country who only interfered when the battle was on our soil? I'm very glad that President Obama have been pulling military out of places that we weren't even suppose to be at first place. War in Middle East is a meaningless war. Meaning, if soldiers aren't even sure what they are fighting for, then, we are just scaring young kids who been scammed by great sales people known as Military Recruiters. When we fight in WWI & WWII, we had define reason why we were needed to fight. Civil war, we had define reasons why we needed to fight. But, when we do not have defined and specific reason why we need to be in the war and risk our people's life, that when these soldiers are going crazy and coming back with psychological problems.If you have grandparents who been through World War, they aren't suffering psychological problem, they new they had to do it to protect the freedom of mankind. Compare to that, when you look at Vietnam War vets and people who came back from Iraq; it seems like they little "off", don't they?. Well, I take it to be result of participating without knowing the reason to fight. These people risked their lives (Which, I salute all the soldiers) to fight for something they are not even why. That is why the psychological disorder has been growing and growing. Bring our boys back, let's cut back on our military spending. Let's be a defensive nation, not a offensive country. BRING OUR BOYS HOME.

Special: My Memory of You(R.I.P Melissa Fagin)

It was 8th grade that I moved to Redmond from Lynnwood. I didn't no anyone but people were nice to greet a foreign kid who still had an accent and weird style. I started to hang around Anthony and one day, I met you with Chris in a weird situation. But you were still funny, you were still gorgeous and you were great person to hang around. Ever since that we all became the 107 st./ block crew. Me with Omar, Phil, Ron, Anthony, and Chris, you with Ashley, Michaela, Moss, Stacy, Rachel; we were friends that were closer than just friends. We formed a family that we promised to be there when others needed help, motivation and support. I remember in 9th grade, I went to your house with Curtis and I think Ron and I remember the look you gave me and later on Curtis told me you liked how I looked . That maybe be take 254 at 9 PM to go back up the education hill to ask you out to be my girl. We dated 1 week but I still remember how me, you, Ron and Ash all walking around Redmond near Junio...

My cellphone history

Image
I had a cell phone ever since I was in 8th grade. Not because my parents were rich and just wanted to spoil their kids, they gave us the phone because they worked all the time and, what do you expect, we wanted it for emergency reasons ;), right? Just like many of you, my first phone was Nokia and we would text, call and play snakes on it. We had to buy ringtones from third party that sounded really nothing like the song. But it was cool and it was new, so I loved it and it served the purpose. Nokia 3390                          But soon after, flip phone era was in. But, nothing really cool was            cool was coming out. It was smaller the better kind of era and it had            to be a flip phone, so I got a Samsung phone that was simple but ok            work with. More games were on it, ringtones became more...

Top 5 Favorite Rappers of PJ

Image
I listen to everything from Rap, Rock, Jazz, Classicial, Blues, Punk, Pop, R&B, Dub Step, EDM and even Folk (No country or Heavy Metal, sorry). But, at the end of the day, my favorite have to be Hip Hop/ Rap. Why? because even though, so many so called music aficionados believe rap isn't really music, rap convey message using slang and code and it really fascinate me of how much creative a person can get. But do not get me wrong; this doesn't mean I like all rappers. If anything, I am more harsh on rappers than a R&B singers. For me, rap got to me creative and unique. Rap got to convey a message that everyone goes through and let the fans relate to the lyrics. Rap shouldn't always be about Money, Cars, Blings and Hoes; I love intelligent rap that actually have a message and meaning. So here is my top 5 rappers. 1) Jay - Z: If you know me, this shouldn't come off as a shock; this guy is my idol. Yes, he does talk about money, cars, blings and hoes; but who does...
