You know what offends me? When people talk about how poor some people are in the world. When we watch videos in class on poverty and people say things like "I felt so bad that they had to shop at the Salvation Army". And you know what else? In the video the woman was crying because she was explaining her situation and they were all the same things I've gone through. I mean, don't get me wrong, I felt bad for the woman. But these were things that I've just learned to deal with. Here were some of the things people made a huge deal about, that I've always just taken as given. - Shopping at the Salvation Army
- Going over friends' houses, but not having friends over
- Living without electricity
- Living without hot water
- Being Thankful for a house telephone
There are so many things students here take for granted. They are SO spoiled. SO spoiled. I heard one kid in my class saying the other day "My dad told me if I bring home a 3.6 in December he's getting me a 2009 something something (insert fancy car name).." Other student- "Oh yeah my parents told me if I brought home a 3.6 I was getting their 2004 something something (insert another fancy car name)" First student- "Yeah but mine is 2009...I mean I deserve it though. In High School I was driving around a 2000 something something (insert in yet another overpriced, zealous, spoiled brats car). I mean, it was so embarrassing!" I thought to myself "I don't know what to be more ashamed of "My 1993 Mercury Toyota...or that I'm easedropping on a couple of rich kids' conversations..." So Cornell, you've done it YET again, advertised "Open Doors, Open Minds" and "Any Person, Any Study", and have created a student body that is SO diverse it's like an actual society with a huge wage gap. The rich keep getting richer, and the poor keep getting poorer...

Please listen to this : http://www.markville.ss.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/music/amv/InRemembrance.mp3Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning's hush, I am the sweet uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. Rest in Peace, my friend.

I have to write this dream down so I don't forget it. """"Chelsea Jill and I are in a store browsing for stuff and the store is about to close. They go out to the car and I see Martin, Paul, Bryan and John hanging around the store. So I go up to Bryan and was like "hey.." and he didn't remember me. So I go up to Martin and go "hey do you remember me??" and he did! but didn't know from where...so i finally tell him, and felt bad after a few minutes. "I'm not stalking you guys or anything, it's just that everytime your in town I want to see you so bad, and it happens------ MARTIN JOHNSON STEPS IN AND KISSES ME omg. it. was. the. most. amazing. FIRSTKISS ever. after a minute he stopped and looked at me and smiled. He took my breath away. So he asks me to come to his room with him after a little talking and we go. I sit on the bed and he's on the floor playing with his kid toy set he brings with him to remind him of his family. He's so cute. So we talk a bit, and all of a sudden------ MARTIN JOHNSON STANDS UP AND LEANS OVER THE BED AND KISSES ME AGAIN it was even better than the first. my god, i was in heaven. so a bit goes by, and the next thing you know, i'm spilling my heart to GABE SAPORTA. I'm telling gabe about the things that happened, and he goes "Wow he kissed you? which side of the bus were you facing?" and i was like "Oh no I was on his bed." and he was like "HE GOT YOU IN HIS BED?!" and i was like "Yeah he was really sweet about everything." and he seemed a bit down. So i moved closer to him and was like "It just feels so surreal though. Like I was dreaming." and he leaned in and kissed me. and it only lasted a few seconds. we pulled back, both a bit awkward, and i popped a piece of gum in my mouth. We kinda stood there for a second, and he was like "I am real. I am here, I am now." and i was like "I need to wake up and you to still be there." and he said "Stop dreaming. I'm here and you are here. Together." And just as he says that, Martin runs in. "Taylor...I'm so glad I found you. My bus is leaving now, and I want you to come with us." I look at Gabe and then back at Martin. "OK" I go over and hug Martin and a quick flash comes to mind thinking of if I would be happy or regret not being with Gabe. I'm sitting, looking out the bus window at Gabe who stands alone. God I hope I made the right decision."""" I will make some parts of this dream come true. January 23rd+24th Gabe Saporta.
