Rewritten Scene: Myrtle,


I was waiting of him, the love of my life Tom, to come over because I am in a distraught situation. Oh how I miss him dearly! I was concord to see him entering and I just wanted to give him a big hug. He came with a typical guy named “Nick”. Tom asked me to go with them to Newyork and I accepted. On our way I begged tom to buy me a dog. I secretly named it Abby. Abby was brown and white and had a thin smooth coat. We arrived and this Nick guy seemed agitated and uncomfortable but we convened him to come up the apartment and meet The Mckees and my sisters. It was almost like a party with liquor moving freely. Most people were drunk the party was getting louder by the hour. Everybody was over Abby and I just loved the attention!! I changed my cloths and people were following me like as if I was a queen of queens. The party was quit delightful. However, Tom and I caught into an argument about his wife Daisy that hate terribly! He told me not to talk about her anymore but I want to say whatever I would like. Out of the blue Tom got angry and slapped me so hard that he broke my nose! The party broke up and that was the worst day of my life.

The “American Dream” is a Financial Nightmare


I really agree with this article about the “American dream” that I have found on yahoo. According to a recent Yahoo! Finance survey released on Tuesday, Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 still view America as the land of opportunity by a rather small margin to those who feel the American Dream is out of reach, 53% to 41% respectively.
The financial survey also found that 38% plan to live solely off of Social Security and 37% of adults and 41% of women have no retirement savings whatsoever. It also found that most Americans believe that the economy is getting worse: 63% of adults and 72% of those over 55. And few think that President Obama and Congress can fix the finance nightmare: 25%.
The survey also showed that one-third of adults plan to support their kids through college, but half of them admit they have no actual college savings for their children. In the surreal world we live in, many adults with savings have used the savings already for groceries and rent payments: 22%.
The survey showed that nearly all adults are worried about jobs. 90% are worried about current unemployment levels and 62% are worried about their own job security. In addition, 91% are worried about the nightmare economy and their kids' future job prospects.
The original survey results were posted on Yahoo! Finance.

Music Review “Zain Ramadan Nasheed”

        The song I chose is called “Ramadan (The month of fasting)” by Zain. This is not any song, Islam does not allow any that possesses the mind . Some instruments are allowed in this religion. This type of music is referred to god and religion, the music is very relaxing and calm. Without a doubt, and as proven by science today, music has an effect on the mind. Some music is slow and calming, while other types are played in gatherings such as parties, discos, and nightclubs, where the mind becomes almost possessed.
       
        The song is a very famous one in Kuwait, where it was filmed. Zain speaks in Arabic, English, and French. It talks about the month of Ramadan where Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. My family and I always listen to this song every year around august. It is played in the TV, radio and more..
