"If you want the stick back that bad, YOU jump in the water for it"

So still reading Marley & Me and this quote stuck out to me because it not only applies to dogs it can apply to everyone. Well, different circumstances of course but you know what I’m talking about. I like this quote because I know that most of the time I don't like speaking for myself, and my sister gets really mad at me for it so all I hear is "jeez Mariah, speak for yourself for once" but sometimes if I really need something I actually get it for myself basically. But can't there sometimes be difficulties to that? What if you really want something but it’s like halfway across the ocean? For example My friend 'accidently' broke one of my bracelets that my uncle got me from Japan and I really loved that bracelet but I simply can't get a new one because first of all like my parents would let me and how in the world would I get the money for it? Okay well yeah get a job or just go to a local oriental store, but I don't know I like making things difficult I guess? I want one just like my last one, anything else simply just can't do. Kind of went off topic, bleh, so sue me (:

What is media?

when i was younger I used to think media was just T.V, Internet, music, movies, and newspapers. and its true i think we are all so blinded by the media that we don't see it anymore. I learned that media is influential, and it can endorse things, media is everywhere and it can change our lives, how? well if there was no media for instance we wouldn't of got the news so fast or if we see a person that has a certain logo printed on it you feel as if you had to get one too to "go with the crowd" media could be good or it could be bad but in the end it will never go away because we rely to heavily on it.

So current book i'm reading is called Marley and Me, still at the beginningish and pretty much what i can relate from the book right now is the first time the author describes Marley I imagine Marley looking so much like my new dog Buttercup. From the clumsyness to the sharp teeth. Also the way Marley has tiny legs and huge paws. This book is definitly a book for dog lovers.
