Broken Windows & Neighborhoods

Free Online Surveys



Hey everyone! I would really appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to fill out this survey for me! It's for my Peace and Conflicts class and it would really help if I could get as many people as possible to take it! Thank you so much!

Hazy Thoughts, Ever Obscure

So, before I get carried away with the events that have taken place in the last couple of days, I will report on last weekend. I finally had a chance to spend some time with my dad and we went and saw "Insurgent." I never saw "Divergent" and never read the books, so I knew nothing about the plot; Still, the acting was great and the film was very well made. Honestly, just being able to spend time with my dad made the movie enjoyable to watch. I can't really recall what we did afterwards but, it was a nice night. On the 27th, I took some time for myself in the evening to get lost in my thoughts and try to clear my head by taking a walk in the cool air. Unfortunately, with the depth of subjects I had on my mind, this was fairly ineffective. Luckily, I have incredibly fun friends that help me take my mind off of anything that's bothering me! That night I jammed out to great music with a friend on the way to the movie theater (once again) to see "Get Hard." It was by far the funniest movie I had seen all year! Throughout the entire film we both could not stop laughing! Although, I feel like I found it much more entertaining than my friend did. Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell were great together! We drove to Steak n' Shake once it ended and stayed and talked for quite a while. It might just be my paranoia but, there was a man and his friend (possibly father, maybe a coworker..) sitting diagonally across from us and every now and then the older one would turn and look at me, then smile at his friend. I didn't want to assume anything but, I felt like he was judging us either due to the difference in ethnicity, the topic of our conversation or even a combination of the two. Again, I could have been reading more into than situation than I should have... He drove me back to my house next, asking me many questions about who I was dating, what I looked for in a guy, etc. You see where this is going, right? The thing is, he has a lot of great qualities, I just can't get over one thing. I don't want to state what the issue is I have a problem with, because it will make me sound really shallow. Before I got out, he asked if he could kiss me and I hesitantly said yes because I was kind of put on the spot. It would have been smarter to decline until I had my thoughts in order but, the past can't be changed. My thoughts are still hazy even though I did finally meet the one I always had on my mind!  (To be continued..)
