Mary Queen of scotts

This story is incredible!!!
I think that someone needs to turn the life of Mary Queen of Scotts into movie, it would make the perfect horror film!! It  has tragic, love triangle, mystery death, and it is all real!!!
When my parents switched religions and we became Catholic, I have had to figure a lot of history out on my own. To me Mary should be a real heroic figure to the Catholics because she stood with her head high even to her death.

I think this is how not just women but everyone should be. We should be so loyal to everything that characterizes us from religion to lovers, that we should be willing to die for it. I analyze her life, from her childhood-being taken away to a different country without her parents at only five and being raised by the church-, then going through three marriages, then losing loved ones and having to be in charge of several countries at once! Oh and don't let me forget about the jelous cousin Queen Elizabeth! phew most people would have given up on God and complained saying "why me God" but no her.

She had a bit of a tragic life and I find comparisons a little bit with Marilyn Monroe. Both beautiful women, successful, many husbands, hard core loyal to their careers/throne, messy childhoods, lives covered with mystery, and tragic deaths.

The Taming of the Shrew

The Taming of the Shrew was ok....according to Mrs. Watson it is supposed to be more perverted than is lead on....

I was completely disappointed in the end when Katherine gives in!!!! What the heck she was supposed to be the independent one that wasn't going to marrying any hooligan her father wanted her too. She was over the top at the times but Bianca was your typical girlie girl who fit right into society. Sometimes its the girls that are overlooked that make the best wives or best of friends..(hint hint guys..haha). I think the joke that was played was mean too..but i guess they got a kick out of it :P

I still don't think this the best Shakesphear story I've read.

spirituality vs. materials

In class we had a discussion about what we prefer: material things or our spirituality. I chose my spirituality. I am actually a very materialistic person, I enjoy having designer bags, name brand clothes and shoes and nice "stuff" in general. When it comes down to it I always chose to side with my spiritual side. I don't think it is important what you believe in or who you believe in as long as you live by the morals (or try to) and abide by your beliefs. For a long time I was angry with God, and confused with religion because I was raised Seventh Day Adventist but in my adolescence my parents went back to the Catholic church and that was a drastic change. The reality was that when I was put in a hard situation or found no escape to my problems i would always run to God...I would pray to him. I know there are people that pass by through this world not beleiveing in a God but I can not even begin to imagine that because I think back and try to imagine what I would do if I could not talk to God. Of course we have our parents, siblings, friends, or someone that we trust to tell our secrets, for me its my parents, but there is things that I feel like I should tell God, apologize to him or pray to him for him to give me the strength to overcome obstacles because although my parents are wise and give me uncoditonal love but I know that God knows me thourougly inside and out and knows my thoughts so there is no need to explain.
