Pretty Little Liars!

           It was the spring finale that millions tuned in to watch. Thats right, I'm talking about Pretty Little Liars. In the shocking season finale, the mysterious villian "A" was revealed and I must say that I was shocked! The girls had no idea that one of their so called "friends" was capable of such horrible things. But is Mona the only A? Who else is on the A-team, Jenna, Garret, Melissa, or someone else? Who is their leader, and why did they do all of this? I guess we'll have to wait and find out! Let's talk about those pretty little relationships now! Am I the only one whose heart melted when Ezra showed up to see Aria at the Masquerade Ball, or what about that moment that Spoby fans have been waiting for since who knows when! Being a fan of Spencer and Toby's relationship myself, I can honestly say that I teared up a little bit when Toby said to Spencer, "The hardest thing I've ever had to do was pretend I didn't love you."And all of us were probably wishing that we had a Romeo just like Caleb when he came to the Masquerade ball in full costume. But lets not forget the heartbreaking moment when Emily was Hysterically crying when she heard about Maya. Did A kill Maya? A familiar face showed up in the finale, Dr.Sullivan, yep, she's still alive. Dr.Sullivan says that Mona has some serious problems, and I think she's right! Did anyone else think about who the son was that Dr.Sullivan was talking about that was threatened by A? Could it be Toby? In the spring finale, so many of our questions were answered, but we were left with so many new questions. Hopefully all of our questions will be answered during the summer premiere of Pretty Little Liars on June 5th on ABC Family.

   If you haven't heard about Kony 2012 yet, you should definitely read this. Joseph Kony is a horrible man in Central Africa who must be stopped. Joseph Kony has kidnapped over 20,000 children. Using these children, he has formed an army. The children have no choice but to join this army or else they will be killed. The children are even forced to kill their very own parents, along with other people. The Ugandan army has been unsuccessful in capturing Kony and that is why they need our help. Our government has been notified on many occasions of Kony's actions and feels that we should not help because it is of no threat to our country. The government has agreed to send a very small group of soldiers to Africa, but Kony knows of them and has changed his plans so he does not get captured. If the world doesn't show our government that we all care, they will bring the soldiers back. Kony 2012 is the campaign that will stop Kony and show our government that even though America is not in danger, we care. On April 20th, 2012, people around the world will "paint the town" in posters. These posters will say things like, "Kony 2012," or "Stop Kony."By putting up these posters, we will show the government that millions of people want Kony stopped. It only takes one act of courage to change the world and with that one act, millions are inspired. We have to change this now, because if we change the world now, we can change it forever.

    I made this blog for my school critical thinking class. I'm going to post about alot of things, hair, makeup, style, and also my school assignments. For my first post, I'm going to write about an assignment when I had to answer some questions after reading a quote by Henry Miller, so here is my assignment :
      
    "It's good to be just plain happy ; It's a little better to know that you're happy ; But to understand that you're happy and to know why and how... and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss."
   ~Henry Miller(1891-1980)American Writer

Think and Write :
     1.What is of value to this writer?
     2.Do you share the same values?
     3.At what points do his standards for happiness lie?
     4.At what points do your standards for happiness lie?

Response :
   
    Happiness is different for every person. Everyone has a point of view in which they view happiness. Henry Miller viewed it as if your happy, that is good, but if you know why you are happy, that is excellent. I think that if you are happy period, that is fantastic. You don't have to know why. If you have the feeling in your mind that you are happy, then you are happy, and that is all that matters. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, if you are happy, then that's great, end of story.
