Permission Letter

Dear Mr. Nadziejko and fellow classmates, i am asking permission to research and interview my subculture , which is tattoo and piercing. i will be visiting and observing at Internal Ink in Hecker, IL, and interviewing people with tattoos and their experiences.i will be finding out the history on tattoos, also ill be watching a show called Taboo. I hear it is very interesting! i will have to look into some tattoo magazines and fins information through them. I can revisit almost everyday because i live walking distance from the site and it fits in with my schedule i will be covering what kind of work is done there, the environment, and history of the site. i will also go into the history of tattoos and piercing, like in different places in the world. i will compare of tattoos here i america maybe some sort of taboo or someone trying to be different where as i other parts of the world tattoo and piercing are a symbol of what tribe your in or where your from, what you have been through. I personally have a few piercing of my own and i think its pretty awesome! I am looking to get at tattoo on my foot here soon. I have a great interest for this subculture and i am excited to spend time with the artists and get to know the history/fun facts on tattoos/piercings. Thank you and i hope you enjoy my paper as much as i will enjoy writing it.

WELL HELLO TO YOU

Hey guys my name is Marcedis! here i am again blogging for English 102. Woot Woot. Well a little background on me u may ask? I am almost 20 years old and going to school for nursing, i want my masters. I live ion hecker ,il , its a small town with only like 500 people. I have many siblings and take care of them all. my daily routine is getting up super early in my opinion at 6 or 7 and start by getting the kids ready for school and cleaning up the house since i have either an eight o clock class or nine thirty class. i like to have a clean house clean room and im organized. Im talkin binders , folders, slips within binders. i got the extreme on these things. I work two jobs , but i work one more than the other. i am pretty much busy from 6 am to 12 pm... sorry to my love Cory Robert Quintana (hes sitting next to me) so i have to say this. I spend a lot of time with my brother and my sisters and not just because i live with them. I take them everywhere and anywhere ;ranging from sports to school to just days out with sissy! cute i know i know.

is this it?

today i talked to my boyfriend and asked why he has been actin funny? or what was wrong lately? all he said was the navy makes him that way? im tired of always makin excuses for him and trying to do my best for him....im the only one holding us up sometimes. the more i talked the more he realized his wrong and realized mine. he apologized but he always apologizes?so i ask you , be honest, is this it? shud i continue to work on us or move on? if its harsh and true i can deal with it i will not be offended.

YES FINALLY WARM WEATHER

i don't about you but i am so happy that i can finally break out the shorts and dresses! Ive been waiting all winter long for this time! it might sound crazy but i feel more ALIVE in a way. its so bright out and the grass is green, its a wondrous time! I'm actually writing my rough draft for English out here and the words just keep flowing! ya ya me !

OMG ..IPHONE

the time has come for me to purchase an IPHONE. as many of you know this phone can easily become your best friend. i was shocked to find out that because of my upgrade i could get one for only 99 dollars. i went to best buy to purchase one but they wanted around 600??? i just wanted to share mt new with my fellow classmates! u dont know how excited i am!

SCHOOL FOR 4 DAYS!!

yes its true, our president has signed the bill tht will change kids school routines. starting next year schools in illinios will be in session only four days a week. where will this leave parents who work 5 days a week, will the days be longer? IS THIS A GOOD IDEA OR NOT! i know this will affect my family greatly... will it affect yours too?

WOW WOW WEATHER

i dont know about you, but i am grateful for this weather! i have notice that in the winter time i am . more un -active i guess you could say. i dont feel as cheery as i do in the summer.. i love bright warm weather! as you all may know....SPRING BREAK IT AROUND THE CORNER!! please please i advise all of you to be careful and have fun in whatever you have panned! i know i will

whispering to an eagle?

a man named tim brown saved a tangled up eagle by whispering to him to calm him down. no one else could even get close to the animal but this man who claims to be a Eagle whisperer. he sang to the animal which calm him down and the eagle laid still until he was released. now he is in rehabilitation for a week. is it possible to have this gift? or was it just luck?

having hiccups for 2 years!

A Louisville man has had the hiccups for the last 15 months. he struggles with this everyday. now hes letting people interview him so that maybe justtt maybe someone in America can help this man find a cure. he has tried nearly everything to help from standing on his head to a chiropractor. imagine how annoying it would be to have hiccups everyday of your life! if you have any remedies(bizarre ones too) i will be have to email him and hopefully we can find some relief . than you!

Alright this week i have this problem. My boyfriend moved to Georgia today..hes in the navy and he was relocated. he loves it there! sounds beautiful. we plan to get married when i finish school but lately and i mean months now, i don't get along with my mom. its so awkward for me because have been best-friends for ever? and now i think she hates the fact that i am growing up and wanting to leave the house. i want to leave and go be with him so badly. I'm not your average young person, i was raised to have a lot of responsibility. I'm the oldest of 9 i understand all the hardships of marriage..Ive been through two divorces. i know how hard it is to be away from family i used to spend 6-7 weeks away every summer in California. if i choose to move to Georgia a house will be provided and money to actually move me there.... the navy assists you in paying bills. i know paying the bills wont be a problem its just actually getting up and leaving.. please if any of you have any advice id greatly appreciate it. thanks !!

unplug unused PLUGS!

Well from experience i suggest we all unplug unused cords! today i was cleaning my room. i had my TV on , iTunes playing loud, and my cell plugged in along with my camera. So basically every single electronic thing in my room was on and running(its alot trust me) And all of the sudden i heard a loud pop! All my lights went out! i screamed and ran out of my room like a lil girl... embarrassing!! Anyways , i came up stairs to tell my mom and got on ,my laptop and the front page news on yahoo was.."UNPLUG UNUSED CORDS"...how ironic. so i began to read up on this. Apparently , if you do unplug the cords you dont use ,you can save alot of money on your electric bill. so i guess ill be saving the family alot money today....since my room is ina current black out.

a kitty that knows when ur gonna die?

YES! i know creepy right? well when i read this this article on yahoo frontpage, i uhh...lets just say i look at my cat differently. This cat named Oscar has so far predicted 50 deaths in the nursing he stays at. Oscar will curl up next to the patient and the doctors have notice that every time he does this, that patient passes. Now, they are not saying if the cat cuddles up to you your going to die that's not the case. It just so happens that the cat can sense when death is near..almost like a 6th sense. The staff believes that the cat can pick up on a pheromone or smell that humans don't recognize. Some still don't quite fully believe this cat is unique or that he has this ability. What do u think?

new blog-ee

well hey there! This is my first blog..don't laugh . To be honest i didn't know to do this or even know what it was about? But here i am..blogging. i hope it turns out to be what everyone says it is! Now we all have heard in some shape or form about the earthquake in Haiti. i watch the news every night ti see the updates on what is being done to help these people.i have personally given money to certain charities hoping it reaches them in this time of great need. i believe we all should give a little something, because i know if we needed this help, other countries would help. just like the the golden rule says: treat others how you would want to be treated. A little of our help means A LOT to them.
