Word With No Meaning

I gave more than i could , more than i should , more than i would !
Opened up my soul & emptied it from the start ; let everything spill out straight from the heart .
I managed to live up to certain expectations , not realizing i was the only one patient .
Accepting flaws & ignoring faults , although it meant being hurt , the same never seemed to be returned .
Life seemed so incomplete without what (at the time) seemed to be a necessity .
Failing to please & satisfy myself , only satisfying someone else.
Accepting less than i deserved , & giving more than what was earned .
Falling by myself , & picking myself back up ; & still falling with the same faith
as if I'd receive help .
Making unreasonable decisions & not including my thoughts .
Never did anything according to wah I'd want .
Why did I stay? Why should I stay ? Why could i stay ?
I couldn't see life without a human being ,
Who already began planning a future without me .
Living with false hopes & dreams which ended up being no more than a memory.
Nothing like what it seemed to be.
What once was "perfect" now wasn't worth it . What once was the BEST , is left in the past.
Something so GREAT feels like a mistake.
The love ,
the trust ,
the friendship
all has ended.
What should have worked , could have worked , or would have worked
is now jus a meaningless word. ©

Mariah Nevaeh's First Birthday Party

Carnival

While boarding the 2008 Carnival Cruise on the port in Florida, my expectations grew wild. I expected nothing less from the four places I was supposed to visit; however, a hurricane stormed through and I had to bypass my first stop, Bahamas. Although I skipped that stop, I got to see St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, and Turks & Caicos. I spent 7 days on the luxurious Carnival Ship and met wonderful people.

Kid Cudi pt2?

The Clevland born superstar, Kid Cudi, has not failed to reach the top of the charts with his smash single "Day and Nite". Not only does Kid Cudi rap/sing, but he also writes his own lyrics and acts! In the least, Kid Cudi is very multi talented. While one might see him as one of a kind and unique, he might have competition; however, his competition might be a bit young.





Greg, also known as GP, can sing/rap, write, and act! His eccentric style, poise, demeanour and pink G-Shock seals the deal. While catching every girl's attention with his self written song, "Swaggerific Lady", GP continues to take the spotlight amongst his peers. In my opinion, GP might be the new sensation for the next generation, even if he is not the next Kid Cudi.
