wake up wake up wake up im so tired of waiting... LP

Me to we is what wed see

If we could already be the change we wish to see

In our lives these days

By the words that we say

About the world that we could make

By our passions as they turn into actions (x2)

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To something that embodies generosity

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To one home one family

Cuz It doesn’t take a genius to see

That things need to change

But no one person has the power to rearrange

All of the things that be bringin’ us down

It’ll take the whole world to make a smile from a frown

Every two seconds someone die from starvation

Poverty and hunger in every single nation.

40 wars spent one trillion dollars this year

We should have fund education this year instead of investing in fear.

Ecoside Genocide Homicide Suicide,

So many ways for destruction to live its life

People get angry and get up with guns

when more people died of suicide last year globally than war

you know we ain’t havin’ fun.

Priorities need to change were not doing enough

We ignore a man on the streets

Because his luck is rough

They say crime rates are jumping through the roofs.

The same reasons not to trust everyday on the news.

So many types of suffering that human can endure

But straight up there’s more than one way to be poor.

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To something that embodies generosity

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To one home one family

When you wake up try to find a smile

Recognize that were all alive, but only for a while.

Look around you, only 2 races to be found.

Multiple choice answer to be found, human cruel and human kind.

Respect that there is more than one way to live

We can be people who take or people who give.

Changing the world would be as simple as a hug or holding the door open

And not saying you’re done.

Saying something positive when negative surrounds.

Speak from your heart grow from what you found.

A stranger is a friend passing you by

If he looks serious pass him a smile,

If you’re still unfamiliar, ask him his name.

Strangers are extinct if and when they do the same

So first we need some visions

And we have to set some goals.

Like ending hunger by filling every single bowl.

And ending poverty as if money grows on trees

Lets stop voting war and start voting peace

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To something that embodies generosity

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To one home one family

This is it one chance we can do it.

Learn the dance in the streets

By the way we choose to live

By doing what we do

By the me we give

By the we we see

Every single body

United to one family

One race

One globe

One humanity

That’s what they call human kind-ness

CUZ LOVE AINT DEAD!!!

Joe Opatowski

amazing RIP

When Joe speaks, people listen. Twenty-one year old Joe Opatowski travels across North America speaking to high school students about what life is like in other parts of the world. It’s shocking, and it’s real.

Meanwhile two high school seniors in BC vow to stay quiet after they hear Joe speak. He inspired them to really think about their words - as they embark on a week long Silent Vigil in a symbolic stand for the voiceless children around the world.

Joe’s life took a dramatic turn – but bottom line – he spoke and people listened. Sometimes that's all it takes.

OMG i was just randomly looking thru funny vids on youtube and cam accross one of my favs... i want candy... dead, by the emo boys, then there was another one, it was chineese boys doing a remake of the famous backstreet boys, that brought back memories!!! so im currently watching the video for "as long as u love me", one of the best memories was the fact that everyone was in love with nick carter, but everytime i watched any video or seen any pic all i could focus on was brian!!!! his georgous brown hair and georgous eyes jsut allured me in and caught my heart! then came the dancing videos! the moves of the band BSB made my heart melt as a child... lolz if u have a great story bout ur childhood bands, like spice grls, 98degrees, or anything let me kno!!!

other childhood memories include

-where in the world is carmen sandiego, barney, teletubies, powerangers, and also 3 ninjas

Ketchup was sold in the 1830's as medicine.

Dr.Seuss pronounced his name as "soyce"

More ppl are afriad of open spaces than of closed spaces

The names of all the continents end with the same letter they begin with excluding the "north" and "south"

If you keep a goldfish in a room long enugh it will eventually turn white

China has more english speaking ppl than the staes

In every episode of sinefeld there is a picture of superman or a refrence somewhere...

Lethologica means not being able to remember the word you want

Jhon Lennons first g.f was names thelma Pickles

The Hawaiian alphebet only has 12 letters

Why i put this on here  idont know... but w.e its fun!

My teacher is doing some free writing work with us and the first topic that was I AM... then a wave came over me and i wrote and wrote... and this is what came out...

I AM... amber. just like david was david... there is no comparison between us but it was the first thing i thaught of. David was a boy on the run. i am a girl stuck! No place to run to. My world seems so miniscule. even tho i have many things and i do so much i cannot run. Cadets School Vollyball and failing subjects like english guitar and world issues. I still cant seem to help myself. everday i tell myself that i am going to sit down and work on homework, but i automaticly get sidetracked. I can never finish what i started... I AM A FAILURE i feel like i have let my parents down! They tell me that I AM smart, and that they love me... i cannot seem to prove to them that I AM smart I AM good, and that I AM trying! I AM an ordinary girl!

thats about it... just me ranting on what i didnt do...

last night i watched the new episode of ugly betty, not something i usually do, but i needed some one on one time with my mom... when the end came up it showed that santos was acctually dead. something that they led u to belive that he was alive and his weding with hilda was still on... when my brother started makin fun of my crying mother... just then i realized that i too was crying... i wanted my friend Lyle back.

My friend Lyle Allsopp commetted suicide jsut a few weeks earlier. i had not cried till that point, realizing that i didnt accept the fact that he was gone. then i did what i ususally do when i hear about someone that has passed on... i pump up the Sum 41. and have a 20-30 min shower. after i did something diffrent, usually ill just sulk around till i finaly decide to go to bed. i wrote, and wrote... the pencil wouldnt stop till 5 pages later... it was awkward. i have this story type paper sitting in my locker not knowing what to do with  it... i thaught i should give it to my teacher and get him to prof read it then send it into one of those chiken soup for the teenage soul places, but then decided against it, b/c not many ppl read that book anyways, and this was something special.,  i feel that the world should know how much it hurts ppl when they do something like that...

when you think of suicide think of the people your hurting. even if you cannot think of one solitary name, think amber pahl, i miss Lyle like crazy and so do the thousands of others, theres an amber in everyones life. i love all my friends, wether ive known them for life or since the begining of summer...i would not want any one of them gone.

When your told by many ppl not to trust a guy,

   do you trust him anyways?

When you hear many rumors about the guy,

   do you ignore them?

When you tell him u like him and he saies he likes you too,

   do you belive him?

When the times right, what dose he do,

    dose he suprise you?

well i guess this is the place to post thaughts and shit, and thats exactly what all this is is shit... i have "so many" frinds, all of them ive been with for ever baisicly, you could say we where a click, but yet we fight constantly,not like fist in face fight (common we're girls) but we biker about nothing really, ppl get mad easily, im so busy that theres not to much time for the band, and i feel bad about it, cuz im not that good at what i do in the band, i wish i had more time, im sooo busy, well on a brighter note, i got a gold and a silver on my dance weeeknd in tulon!!!!! that was fun, i made out with a hott guy!!! w/e buhbyes for now
