HAPPY 18TH DANIELLE!!!
These past couple of days things seem different. People (myself included) aren't acting the same, some for the better and some for the worse. I feel like im at the point in the year that i am just going through motions of life until something exciting comes along. i think that something is spring break. it will be nice to swim and tan and not be at school! i'm also not going to night school that week... :)!!but until then i have to take my SAT this saturday and im sure i will be pounded with an endless amount of work until spring break.
i don't have night school this week either! what ever school distric hla is in is having its spring break. so i get to miss 2 weeks and make it up in one 5 hr long class...it seems like a long time but i will be with annie and so that should be more entertaining... unlike the last 5 hr vlas i took, deffensive driving, which was absolute HELL!i prefer not to relive the momories!
right now i finisheed watching some sex and the city and im reading up on an article about bob marleyin rolling stone... the rasta society is so interesting... heres an excerpt..

Rastafarianism developed as a mystical Judeo-Christian faith with a vision of Africa, in particular, Ethiopia, as the true Zion. The Rastafarians never had a true doctrine but rather a set of folk wisdoms and a worldview. One of their beliefs was that marijuana -- which the Rastas called ganja -- was a sacramental herb that brought its users into a deeper knowledge of themselves. More important, Rastas had an apocalyptic vision. They saw Western society as the modern kingdom of Babylon, corrupt and murderous and built on the suffering of the world's oppressed. Accordingly, Rastas believed that Babylon must fall -- though they would not themselves raise up arms to bring its end; violence belonged rightfully to God. Until Babylon fell, according to one legend, the Rastas would not cut their hair. They grew it long in a fearsome appearance called dreadlocks. The Rastas lived as a peaceful people who would not work in Babylon's economic system and would not vote for its politicians. Jamaican society, though, believed it saw a glimmer of revolt in the Rastas, and for decades they had been treated as the island's most despised population"--
