The Ideology of a Diva

My ideology consists of different aspects of my life. My personal values are some what spiritual and love based which gets me past yesterday, through today, and onto tomorrow. I focus a lot on love: love for God, love for my family, love for my friends, love for my boyfriend, love for myself, and love for my enemies. I feel that love is the most important emotion, action, thought, feeling, etc. in my eyes.
I do believe that God Almighty is my creator, and my Lord and Savior. I'm not big on going to church because a lot of things they talk about doesn't make much sense, or doesn't really have a valid point, but religion plays a big part in what makes me who I am. I will always have love for, and a relationship with God. He is my strength that gets me through each day. My family members are my rock. I love them because they raise me and help me to get to the next stage of my life; whatever that next stage might be. My friends are my world. They accept me as I am and let me be myself. They get me through school and the pointless drama I am faced with. My boyfriend is my heart and soul. He is almost exactly like me. He has the qualities of almost everyone else: he gives me strength, he gets me through each day and onto the next step in life, he lets me be me, and helps me with whatever problem I have. I love him simply because he loves me in return. I am the most important thing to myself, as selfish and conceited as that sounds, it's true. I have to have love for myself for those times when no one else does, and if I don't love myself, how could I love anyone else. I also have to be my own strength and have confidence in myself or the world is going to eat me alive. My enemies are also part of my strength. I love them because no matter how hard they try to bring me down, they only make me stronger.
As long as I'm spiritual and love for myself and those around me, I will be living "the good life."

"Apples to Apples, or Apples to Oranges"?


Contrast: Che turned to violent tactics against people of his own country who were against his political revolution, whereas Al Qaeda and the Taliban are violent towards American military men, who are total strangers to the country.

Compare: Americans could be training soldiers to take down Al Qaeda and the Taliban much like they trained soldiers in Bolivia to take down Che.

Bust a move!!


If I were to make a documentary, I would make it about the art of dance: dancing through the decades with the history of it, how it got started, who was the first to put motion and movement to music, the different types of dance- everything from jazz to hip hop, swing to tap, ballet to polka, salsa to square dance, etc.- how different dances represent different cultures, how the type of music can influence different movements, how choreographers actually put a routine together, who the first people were to perform a dance routine in front of an audience, what the first dance club was, how dance clubs devolved over time, and finally, exploring actual dance classes at different dance studios and showing how they operate.

Che Documentary

If i were to make a documentary about Che, i would focus on his life as a promising young man and his transition from that into the Hitler/Stalin type of leader that he became. i would ask him questions about why he decided to go that negative route of leadership instead of remaining a positive role model for his people. i would also ask him how he thinks his actions affected himself, his family, and his country. i would also talk to his daughter to get a sense for her feelings on the matter of her father; is she proud, ashamed, indifferent, etc.
