The hangover.

FAVORITE MOVIE.
so, i just looked online at my favorite bag I own. Apperently, It is listed under a 'satchel'. Youknow, what Indiana Jones & Allen Have... oh yeah

And still, I rise.


I'm reading a book that is called And Still I Rise. It is written by Maya Angelou.
It is not a typical book, it is more like, a bunch of poems.
She is so powerful, and her words mean so much. I only got this book two days ago, and I can not get my head out of it.
If you have read this book, I'd love to hear what you think about it. If you have not, you really should, I'm absolutely loving it. Plus, it's giving me a lot of comfort on things that might be insecurity's.


You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Hi Jane

Hey. My name is Jane. I started a blog for several reasons. One is, I'm a very social person and i love sharing things with people. I also love writing. It is my passion. I really like telling people what I think about things, so there will be a lot of that on this blog. I also like fashion. I would love to be in the fashion industry, or anything along those lines. I'm too short to be a model (and probably no where near pretty enough) but I think it'd be fun as well. I have a huge family, and I love it. WELLL, that's all I think. So, I might write soon but this is soon to be my new addiction! (:
Peace
