Duck Faces. Stop it.

Ever been to antiduckface.com? You should. Especially if you make that pouty face right before you take pictures, you know...the one where you push your lips out as far as you can, and then try to touch your nose to them
Is this cute?
I think not. This is a disgrace and NOBODY LOOKS CUTE DOING IT. Nothing about it makes a person look cute. It scrunches up your nose, your lips look like they have been injected about a thousand times with collagen and over all it makes you look like you are trying to distort your face so people can't see what you really look like. I'm not saying that people that are duckfaces are not pretty....I mean they aren't pretty when they are doing the face, but when they are not, they could look normal.



This girl is probably pretty...but how can we tell! When you make your face look like somebody just punched you there is no way to tell if you are pretty! Just stop. Spread the word about the dangers of duck facing.

Just Don't Do It.

It's Golden

May 17, 2011
I turned 17.
So I didn't really tell anyone it was my birthday because I hate the people who are obnoxious about their birthdays so I was determined to not be like that, and so I just didn't say anything. Except My facebook did. So one of my friends kept yelling down the hall that I was Faith and it was my birthday. Then she posted on facebook every five seconds about my birthday and  Then she left school to buy me balloons. Ooooh my goodness, it made me giggle.

ALERT:
Best movie of 2011:

Oh my goodness. Best movie ever.
Made me laugh so hard I cried.
LIIIIIFE!
Being 17 is great.

Stop reading this.

Just keep laughing

UKULELE PLAYER

Or just adequate would be fine too
My sister let me borrow it last sunday and I've been playing every day since then
So I'm playing I'm a believer and I'm not great, but I can get through the song with minimal mistakes which is pretty freaking exciting to me.
All I really want is to try EVERYTHING and Ukulele is just the first step to doing that


So I've been watching all of the pokemon episodes from the beginning, and I wish pokemon were real. They are so dang cute and it would be fun to be a trainer. Did you know Ash was only ten when he became a trainer? Well he was. I wonder why they made him so young. But that is the kind of cartoon I like. It's funny and cute and has adventure and there are mythical creatures that everyone wants.

^ I have that as my background on my computer ^-^
I want to be just like Ash. Just not a boy. He goes for what he wants and never backs down. He builds good relationships with all of his pokemon and always protects them from danger. He fights evil and makes sure team rocket never wins. He is the greatest.

Just keep battling

Death

  Is something you can't escape. It's also something you can't dwell on. You can't think about it all the time, where you're going to die, how you're going to die, how old you'll be when you die. Just live your life, and you know what, there are things you are going to regret in life, and you can regret them, just don't let it rule your life. Lead a life that you can look back upon and feel that it was complete. Live in the moment as best as you can, but make sure to always keep your morals. Love all you can, live all you can, take chances on people, and life, and never let anybody but yourself dictate how you want your life to go.

Jacques Pepin

So I guess I'm just going to write about his life and stuff. Soooo here we go.

Oh p.s. I got all my information from
http://www.roycecarlton.com/speaker/Jacques-Pepin-Biography/

I'm kinda too lazy to actually do works cited because I have been doing them non-stop for two weeks in English. Alright, I get it already, I don't have to memorize how to do it, that is what the internet is for.

Jacques Pepin was born in Bourg-en-Bresse, France.


His parents owned a restaurant, Le Pelican, so he got a lot of exposure to cooking at a young age. He began an apprenticeship at the Grand Hotel de L'Europe when he was thirteen. He worked in Paris, training under Lucien Diat at the Plaza Athenee. Later Pepin was the personal chef to three heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle from 1956-1958.
  In 1959, Pepin moved to the United states and worked at Le Pavillon restaurant, he then served  as director of research and new development for Howard Johnson Company for ten years. This job taught him about mass production of food, marketing, chemistry of food, and tastes of American food. All the while, he studied at Columbia University earning a M.A. degree in French Literature.
   Pepin was a columnist for the New York Times, and still writes a column for Food and Wine. He participates in culinary festivals and other fund-raising events worldwide. He regularly is a guest on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Today Show, and Good Morning America.
   Pepin received the French Legion of Honor in 2004, the highest civilian honor. He was named a Chevalier de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and a Chevalier de L'Ordre du Merite a French government high honors. A scholarship fund called Jacques Pepin Scholarship Fund was founded by The Culinart Trust for high school minority students. For that he won a Lifetime Achievement Award from the James Beard Foundation. He is the Dean of Special Programs at the French Culinary Institute since 1988 and also a faculty member at Boston University. He founded the American Institute of Wine and Food and is also a member of the International Association of Cooking Professionals. He now lives in Connecticut with his wife Gloria.


This is him. Jacques Pepin. I think he may be my favorite chef so far. I saw a couple of his shows and I love his style of cooking and how he just knows what will taste good together and how to make things look good.



Just keep on keeping on.

Living on the edge, YEAH YEAH YEAH

Aerosmith.

I'm listening to it right now as a matter of fact. Trying to get the stupid song out of my head. Have you ever had that happen? Where a song gets stuck in your head and you cannot stop thinking about it? Yeah, well welcome to my personal hell.




Shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, Everybody!

My dream job would to become a chef. I love food, I love working with food and it is one of the only jobs that I would not be doing the same exact thing everyday. Yes I would be cooking everyday, but not the same things. I can experiment with exotic food and see other parts of the world. I think it is about the best profession I can think of.

So I was thinking that I should look up some world renowned chefs because if I was going to go into that field of work I should know the famous people in it. I am going to write about a few of them in later posts just so you have the information about them, and for me also.
