Do your emotions give into bad eating habits?
Yes. When your emotional state is out of the average your more than likely to turn to food to help you. When your either feeling sad, angry or any other type of negative emotion you turn to food to comfort you because you know it wont reject you. Even with special occasions or birthdays or simply just parties their is always going to be some sort of food around.

Halloween

Halloween Past: For me halloween was made a big deal of when i was younger. I loved the idea of dressing up for one night to go get free candy. It was amazing. This one year when i was like 6 or 7 i remembered dressing up as a princess and my mom made me wear this stupid blonde wig. I hated it so much because i kept telling my mom that it didn't match my skin tone. I was so dark when i was younger and i was living in california at the time too so that had a lot to do with it. Well Halloween landed on a friday so i got all dressed up in my costume and off to school i went. As soon as i got to school i ran straight to the bathroom and threw my wig off, well my friend at the time dressed up as a gypsy of something of the sort. She had a dark brown wig and i a blond one so i figured hey why not exchange wigs to macth or nationality. Sure enough she agreed and boy was i ahppy camper by the end of the day...free candy and a whole weekend to eat it all.

Halloween Present: This Halloween is going to be celebrated lightly this year. I plan to go to my boyfriends twin sisters house and have a night filled with horror movies and junk food. However i'm not looking forward to the morning because of the fact i have to go to work and two i know i'm going to have the biggest stomach ache EVER!! I also plan on scaring my boyfriend and his sister. Me and Josh (which is my boyfriends sisters boyfriend) have something amazing planned out involving her 5 year old son. But now that i kinda think about it she will probably end up crying instead of scared because her son will be covered in blood. Hopefully everything will come out the way we have planned and she wont stay mad at me too long..

Halloween Future: In the future i plan on celebrating Halloween full force. Go all out from the costume to decorating. Annual Halloween parties to the great junk food. Just thinking about it is already giving me a sweet tooth. Being the Halloween fanatic that i am not only gives me a boost of creativity when i plan something out as far as the prank of the year for Halloween but also just getting into the spirit. My future Halloweens are going to be like a scarrryyy movie excepy edited to my liking. : ) 

All Time Gadgets

   The first ever mp3 player that was made portable is The Listen Up. Announced in 1996 by CEO Nathan Schulof. Even though not much is known about this portable gadged, an eBay listing from October 2009 said only 25 were ever produced. If this is true this product must have not been a very popular gadget in its time. This gadget must have been targeted towards teens to adults.
   The mp3 player only picked up radio stations and was not equiped for downloading music. As simple as the product was it just like a radio only protable. if i was in the postion of the CEO Nathan Schulof i would not have of given the okay to get these mp3's produced and shipped out.
  
   In 2001 Steve Jobs introduced the new toy of music, the Apple ipod. This gadget was enhanced mith many features from telling time to showing the battery life of the ipod. This ipod was marketed towards children, early teens to aduls. It had a colored screen and games. With music and games to pass the time who would not have one of these. The first make of an ipod was not better compared to what we have now. The newer modles of the ipod have built in speakers so you can listen to them without earphones. They also have the ability to download movies, photos and even make a slide show.
   This invention lead to millions of dollars in sells and still increasing in the modern day ipod invented by apple.

In the next three years I will twenty two. My twenty second birthday will be celebrated not traditionally but as a road trip. My best friend and I will leave sterling the day before and drive all the way to my home town were i was born. Indio california. This event will start November 18 and last until november 25. This road trip of course will cost money but seeing as my aunt is going to pay for everything it will not cost me a thing.
My birthday is always made a big deal of because i am a daddy's girl and just about whatever i want. Sometimes.

Minor children and the law

Minor Children and the Law

                The Parent Liability Child’s Act refers’s to a parent's obligation to pay for damage done by negligent, intentional, or criminal acts of that parent's child. The act no longer applies when the child reaches the age of majority and does not begin unless the child is between the ages eight and ten.  Therefore, when the minor child commits a crime it is the parent’s obligation to pay the consequences of what was done. Despite the facts, there are many reasons why the parents should not accept the consequences of what was done by their minor child.

Breaking the law involves consequences, and those consequences are only served to those who do the crime, such as minor children. If they do the crime they need to do the time, no matter how old. Children such as minors know the difference between right and wrong. Children today who do commit these crimes are getting let off too easily. Many court systems in our country today have out the blame on the parents. These parents are law abiding citizens, who would give their lives for their children. However the court continues to direct the crime to the parents, and sends them to jail. Meanwhile, the children who have committed the crime are sent home.

                For decades, civil liability laws held parents somewhat responsible for the actions of their children. They either pay program fees related to juvenile courts or corrections. For example, Idaho, Indiana, and New Hampshire passed laws in 1995 making parents pay for the care of their children confined in juvenile facilities. In Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, New Hampshire, North Dakota, and Virginia, parents are responsible for victim restitution. Some states, such as Rhode Island and Texas, require parents to participate with their children in counseling or education programs and at court hearings.                  Parents have always been held liable, to a certain extent that is, for their children's actions in the United States. Some of the early parental liability statutes provided the juvenile court system jurisdiction over parents who had contributed to the delinquency of a minor. Parents are an influence over their child, but if a child commits murder whether, it was planned out or not, should be tried as an adult.  A child who is under the age of eighteen would be placed in a specialized facility with others of his or her age, apart from the adults. After a certain age they would be transferred to the adult facility.  

                It is however, the responsibility of an adult to constantly stay on top of things involving their children.  Minor children are not old enough to accept adult consequences, so it is taken up to the parents to be resolved.  If the parents are blamed then what is being done to the minor who acctually doing the crime? What will keep them from doing it again and the parents suffering, nothing.

                Some of us have committed a crime in our youth. Maybe it was stealing a candy bar from the neighborhood store or stealing your parent’s car for a joy ride at age sixteen. In the end it was the person who committed the crime to accept punishment, so why change the acceptance of punishment whether the crime was small or large? You should not change it. It is a person’s free will to do what he or she pleases knowing that consequences are involved depending what the action was. So for preteens and adolescents who do adult crimes should pay the adult price.

Parents should not be responsible for their children’s actions involving crimes. Children have the mentality to determine what is right and wrong. No matter what their age and the type of  crime committed, they should accept the full punishment. Their actions were caused by their own will and not the parents.
