A Tribute To Anna Nicole Smith


This is my official tribute to Anna. May everything good she done shine in our memories, and everything not so good be forgiven and forgotten.

She was a model and an actress. Her birth name was Vickie Lynn Hogan, born on November 28, 1967 in Mexia, Texas. Anna Nicole Smith rose to fame as a model for Guess jeans and for Playboy magazine. She was even named Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1993. In 1994 she appeared in Naked Gun 33 1/3 and The Hudsucker Proxy.


Anna was a high school dropout. She had a hard childhood, growing up without her father who had left the family. She married Billy Smith, a guy who flipped burgers. They had a son named Daniel in 1984. Later they were divorced. Anna didn't let that stop her dreams of becoming the next Marilyn Monroe.

To get to Marilyn Monroe status Anna had to work her way up. She had been a waitress and then a dancer at a strip club. There is met J. Howard Marshall II, a Texas oil tycoon. She was 26 and J. Howard was 89 when they married, The following year after they were married he died. This meant for Anna years of fighting for her portion of her husband's estate. After many years it went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2006. The court's decision opened the door to Anna Nicole Smith collecting some money from her late husband's estate.

Some how Anna stayed in the spotlight despite all her many tribulations. She was in many celebrity magazines and tabloids. She started her own reality show called The Anna Nicole Show in 2002. In which television viewers got an inside look at the life which was anything but ordinary in which Anna at times seemed disoriented or confused, but always fascinating. Sadly the show went off the air in 2004. But that didn't stop Anna. She was still in the spotlight. She was often shown in the company of Howard K. Stern, her attorney.


For many years Anna struggled in controlling her weight. She became a spokesperson for Trimspa. She had much success with losing the weight. She looked sexier than ever. She then returned to acting. Her son Daniel worked beside her on a new project. It was a movie in which she had the starring role in a science fiction-comedy Illegal Aliens.

In the summer of 2006 she announced that she was pregnant. On September 7 she had little Dannielynn. But the happy moment was short lived. Just three days later her son had died from a drug overdose. Anna was heartbroken. Something she never recovered from. The investigation into his death remains ongoing.


Sadly on
Febuary 8, 2007 Anna was found unconscious in her hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Later she was pronounced dead. She was only 39. Most believe that it had been drugs that killed her.


Now an on going battle rages on for her daughter Dannielynn. Who is the father? Howard K. Stern, Larry Birkhead, Prince Frederick or could it be some other guy we don't know about yet?


After her death, she has been compared to many of Hollywood'’s beautiful women who died too young, including Jean Harlow and Smith'’s personal favorite, Marilyn Monroe.

We will miss you sweet Anna!


Blizzard Wizzard

I awoke this morning to snow. Which is all find and well but now we are getting an ice storm. I'd rather just have the snow. New York has four yards of it and counting. They went from inches to feet to yards. What next? My main concern is my house. Mainly the roof. I worry that it might collapse. I did however make it to work only to be sent home two hours early. Mom had called in along with another employee. What does work do? Call someone in that doesn't even work. All they do is goof off and stand by the office with a drink in their hand. They're a teen even. What bills do they have? I'm an adult knee deep with bills. It's crap.

Who took me home? Heath! I called Amy to see if she could send someone over to take me home, and she asks if it would be alright if Heath takes me home. Which it was but that's beside point. I don't know about her. I think she might just let him in. She'll boot Chris and let Heath have his way. Regardless of how it goes, I really don't think Chris is going to be around much longer. Just the way he acted yesterday. Something isn't right.


Uck! The ice is really accumulating out there. I can't believe all they have us on is a level 1. Probably because compared to counties up north we don't have it so bad, but really I think we do. We may not be getting a blizzard but we sure are getting allot of ice!

Jabber

I really wish I hadn't upgraded my livejournal. I hate the ads. They are a real eye sore. For some reason every other time I try to post a new entry a window for netscape pops up, wanting me to download it. So I cancel it and then I lose my livejournal window. So I have to start all over again.

We got the bills paid this time. Next payday it will be rent and Tom seems to think we can knock out what we owe the bank. I think by then it will be well over three hundred dollars but whatever.

My laptop is still in the shop. Not that I can do anything about it even if it was fixed. The guy called and left a message saying the connector pins weren't lining up. He has to get another connector and try it again. But it isn't a bad thing. Maybe by the time it is fixed I will have the money or at least half.

Tom keeps telling me to quit freaking out. That things arn't as worst as they were the last time we were down. But I really think things are. It is really taking its toll on me too. I feel like going in a corner, grabbing my knees and cry. But on the bright side, things really could be worst and they could always get worst. So I better just take things one day at a time and suck it up. Get happy. Not that I'm not happy with what I do have. I do wanna be happier and funner. I wanna get over these hard times. I miss not having these worries.

On a lighter note. I had Tom download some songs that I think are great. Not the greatest but just great for this time period. But out of all the songs I had him download, my favorites are (Into The Ocean by Blue October). I am not sure how well I like that band. I have only heard that song and part of another. I also like (Lips Of An Angel by Hinder) and (Fidelity by Regina Spektor). I like (The Killers) too. (Bones) was a cool video but not as great as their (Mr. Brightside) video. Tom downloaded the acoustic version of that song. I wasn't happy with that but he says he will download it again, so that gives me another opportunity to have him download other great songs that I like. Maybe older ones or something. There was another song I like allot but not as much as I liked the video. (After Glow by Inxs). That is a hot video. I have it on my laptop. I really miss my laptop.

Besides music, I have been playing GTA Vice City. I have 74% complete on one game that my cousin and I started playing three years ago. I have been working on finding all the hidden packages and doing all the rampages. It's just a matter of finding those things. There are also ramps that I need to find and jump. I think there are a couple of check point missions that I need to find and complete.

When I get bored with GTA that I go on to The Sims 2. Mom has it and The Sims 2 Pets. Lucky her. She is all the time calling me and then telling me how much fun it is. Makes me a little annoyed. I really want GTA Vice City Stories and GTA Liberty Stories. Maybe someday.....Until then I will just be happy with what I do have. It's for the best I suppose. Or so I am telling myself that. Just to make myself fell better.

As for the cat situation. Well....It's still here. I would really like to take half of them to a cat shelter or something. Even if it were just a couple at a time would help allot. It is so overwhelming and it doesn't get any better.

Amy still has her two little kittens. They are getting big but very cute. She did however get rid of the puppy. She was too much for her to take care of. A friend had said she would love to take it. She said this many times, so Amy gave her up.

Concerning the Amy/Heath/Chris situation. It is a bit harry. Amy should have never got in with another guy so soon before her and Heath had officially split. Now she is confused. Heath keeps talking to her. Telling her how much he's changed and how sorry he is for this and that. He even wrote dad a letter. It seems to me that there might be a small possibility that he actually means what he says but that just isn't enough for me. Things just don't get fixed within a person over night. If he really means it then he should be aware that he needs counseling and have a change of attitude towards all things. Then I might reconsider how I feel about the two of them getting back together again. Of course dad says that is all well that Heath is sorry but he still wants him away from Amy. To never get back with her again.

Chris on the other hand his smothering Amy. Something she isn't use to. But I think a person that was use to that sort of thing might feel the same as she does. He really lays it on thick. So that doesn't really help Amy right now. He really needs to back off before she pushed him away. I think she might do that if he isn't careful. He is great with the kids. Teaching them how to be proper little people.

Amy is forcing Gavyn to see Heath, in which I think is so wrong. So Gavyn has been mad and I kinda think he might be depressed. I brought that up to Amy and she said he wasn't feeling good. Which may be so but I still think something isn't right there. I guess the other day he tried skipping school by staying at home but Amy caught him and made him go to school late. This morning he stood over the heat vent and then told her he had a fever. It almost worked but then Amy figured it out.

So after seeing Amy and the kids today I kinda feel bad. I know how I get so angry with not seeing her. I actually get jealous of her friends. Maybe that isn't fair of me or maybe it is childish. I do love my sister and I know there will be moments when I do have sour feelings. I just need to learn to do something about them and not let them boil over, that I may start saying all these mean things about her. That deep down I do love my sister. I only wish we could get close again.

As for somebody else that I dearly love and think about often....Someone who might read this one day. My cousin. I miss her allot too. More than she knows. I miss hanging out with her and chatting with her online and on the phone. I miss the fun times we had on the internet. And I wish one day we could be close again too. I just wonder if she is thinking the same thing too.

Anna Nicole Smith 1967-2007

10 February 2007 @ 06:20 pm

Thursday, while brushing my teeth I heard on the radio that Anna Nicole Smith died after she was discovered unconscious in her hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Her private nurse was the one to find her. I am assuming the nurse was there because earlier in the week she had been feeling ill with flu like symptoms. Anyway. I was quite shocked and sad. I know she lived her life in the fast lane and sooner or later something bad was gonna happen. But it is one of those things where you see the people on TV all the time and you just don't realized the reality that someday these people are going to die. Needless to day I have been following the story. Darn right I am interested. I use to watch her show (after my cousin pointed her out to me one day) and I had come to like her very well. I was sad when she had lost all the weight and turned into a whole other person. Of course I was happy for her but sad that she had changed so mcuh so that it was like a whole other person. So I guess I lost some interest in her. But that never meant I stopped liking her.

As for how she died that is still unknown. Yesterday an autopsy was done. The medical examiner stated that he didn't see any pills in the stomach, only a small amount of blood due to shock. He did however mention a sustance in her heart and that it would be three to five weeks before more tests come back. So the world waits. Of course many believe that her death was drug related. Perhaps it was but what about Trimspa and all that weight she rapidily lost? No one is questioning that. I wonder if it might of been both that had cost her to lose her life at such a young age. Her mother had come on ABC's Good Morning America. She said that she suspected drug use was what had killed her daughter just as it was for Anna's son Daniel, whom died at the age of 20 last September.

Anna left behind her five month old daughter Dannielynn Hope. Three men now lay claim to the baby. Are they only interested in the money that this little girl could inherit? Or are they looking out for the child's best interest? I hope Howard is the father. He has been by Anna's side for years and knows her best. He also knows Dannielynn Hope. His name is on her birth certicate as the father. I know Anna slept around allot. One could even say she was a slut but I had always hoped that her and Howard would get together someday. They did get married but of course their marriage is in question now among other things.

I guess the world will only have to wait for the complex answers to Anna's life. Just like Marilyn Monroe, her life will always have a mystery about it.

One Of A Kind, "Steve Irwin"

It happened Monday morning (September 4th). Dad called me and told me the sad news. Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray. I burst into tears. It felt like I lost a close friend or relative. I got off the phone with my dad and told Tom. Tom wasn't shocked. Not of Steve's death but he was shocked as to what had got him. A stingray. Tom made a statement not very long ago. He said, "Steve. What the fuck are you doing in the water?" He thought a shark was gonna eat him or hurt him badly. That the end was near for Steve Irwin. We all had made funny statements at one time or another, saying a croc was gonna eat him or a snake. Even Steve had made statements like that. Tom said that he would have felt better if it had been a croc to have killed him. Tom was still tore up. As well as his friend Jim. That was Tom's idol. "The best herpetologist this world will ever know", Tom said.

I was heartbroken. I cried off and on all day. I even woke up in the middle of the night crying. Then Tom and I watched CNN at four o'clock in the morning. I couldn't believe how it shook me. And somehow I could. Jeff Corwin said it best when he called Steve an immortal. That was how he had viewed him. As many of us did. We get use to seeing highly respectful people on TV, that they almost become like cartoon characters to us. We some how lead ourselves to believe that they will be around forever. Then reality hits. And you learn how very fragile life really is. Not too mention all the close encounters Steve had with the crocs and snakes.

I was heartbroken for two reasons. I loved Steve Irwin as a person, a friend to all especially animals. I loved his family and everything that they stood for in every possible good way. The fact that a great person was taken away so young hurt too.

The second reason I was heartbroken was the thought of his family. They pain they must feel. Pure hell. His wife, his children, and father. Not to mention all his friends at the Australian Zoo. But Especially his family. His daughter for the most part. Her daddy was truly her hero. She is at that age where she knows what is going on and will remember her daddy. I know what and how I felt about Steve's death. My pain compared to their's is nothing.......

Though, I am still very much depressed but much better than Monday. Slowly time heals all they say.

But let us not forget. Steve Irwin was doing what he loved best when he died. It was an honorable death. Though a bit too soon for us all. He was truly one of a kind, the best kind. He was possibly the greatest father and husband. He was indeed a beautiful person. Steve Irwin will live forever in our hearts. And may we all become just as enthusiastic and passionate about the animals and the earth we live on as Steve was, and maybe one day his children will pick up where he left off.

Goodbye Crocodile Guy...

I can't write now....

Stingray kills 'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin
By BRIAN CASSEY, Associated Press Writer
Mon Sep 4, 9:34 AM ET

CAIRNS, Australia - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44.

Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to one of the animals, which have a poisonous barb on their tails, his friend and colleague John Stainton said.

"He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat at the time.

Crew members aboard the boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered CPR as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead when they arrived a short time later, Stainton said.

Paint Me A Bed

I have to be quick. I am working on some art work. I need all the practice I can get because I am making it a goal to be the best that I can be. Tom likes me painting and drawing because it gets me away from the computer.

Yesterday Tom went bed shopping. I told him to find one and have it ready when I got home from work. He did. We have been sleeping on the floor for over three years. On a mattress and then on a hide-a-bed. Now we actually have a real bed. I just don't know how to act now. I am still in awe.

Bisexuality - It Does Exist!

Today at work Ruth started going on about how there is no such thing as bisexual. (Isn't the first time she said it.) (I am sick of hearing it from her.) She says that a true gay person will tell you that. Her sister his gay and says it. I have to roll my eyes up at this. There is such a thing as bisexual. Bi means two, like a bicycle. Being bisexual means you like both genders. Male and female. Yes it is possible to like both genders. I gave Ruth a scenario of a person sleeping with both genders and she replied that they are in denial. That you either are gay or you are not and if you sleep with the other gender then you are not being real with yourself. I also gave her a scenario and said, "Oh. So If I slept with another woman I would still be straight." She said no. That I would be gay. She contradicted what she was saying. WHATEVER!! Bi is bi. You are still gay but you like both genders and you really can like both genders. That being said.....*raspberry*

Here are some links on the subject of bisexuals.
(I am so right!! In your face Ruth!!!) *raspberry*

BISEXUALITY IS LEGITIMATE. Non-bisexual persons sometimes assume that bisexuals are "really heterosexual" or "really homosexual" and cannot make up their minds, or that bisexual persons are merely curious. Though this phenomenon may be true for some, it is not a necessary or typical characteristic of bisexual people.


http://web.indstate.edu/community/TeenTH/bisexmyths.html

MYTH:Bisexuals are denying their lesbianism or gayness.

TRUTH: Bisexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation which incorporates gayness. Most bisexuals consider themselves part of the generic term "gay." Many are quite active in the gay community, both socially and politically. Some use terms such as "bisexual lesbian" to increase visibility on both issues.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisexuality

DescriptionBisexual orientation can fall anywhere between the two extremes of homosexuality and heterosexuality; a bisexual person is not necessarily attracted equally to both genders, and many tend to prefer one or the other. Another view of bisexuality is that homosexuality and heterosexuality are two monosexual orientations, whereas bisexuality encompasses them both. However, some argue that bisexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation in its own right.

Individuals attracted to both males and females, like people of any other orientation, may live a variety of sexual lifestyles. These include: lifelong monogamy, serial monogamy, polyamory, polyfidelity, casual sexual activity with individual partners, casual group sex, and celibacy. For those with more than one sexual partner, these may or may not be all be of the same gender.

Some bisexual people consider themselves to be gay or lesbian -- for example, a bisexual woman who considers herself a lesbian may do so on the basis that a lesbian might be defined as any woman who is attracted to women (even one who is also attracted to men), or a woman who is primarily attracted to other women. Some lesbian and gay people object, asserting that exclusivity is part of the definition. Other bisexuals consider themselves distinct from homosexuals but part of the larger LGBT or queer community. Some bisexuals may be supportive of lesbian and gay people, but still consider themselves straight, and still others consider any labels irrelevant to their situations.

Myth: Bisexuality doesn't really exist. People who consider themselves bisexuals are going through a phase/ confused/ undecided/ fence sitting. Ultimately they'll settle down and realize they're actually homosexual or heterosexual.

Reality: Some people go through a transitional period of bisexuality on their way to adopting a lesbian/gay or heterosexual identity. For many others bisexuality remains a long-term orientation. For some bisexuals, homosexuality was a transitional phase in their coming out as bisexuals. Many bisexuals may well be confused, living in a society where their sexuality is denied by homosexuals and heterosexuals alike, but that confusion is a function of oppression. Fence-sitting is a misnomer; there is no "fence" between homosexuality and heterosexuality except in the minds of people who rigidly divide the two.

Myth: Bisexuality doesn't really exist. People who consider themselves bisexuals are actually lesbian/gay, but haven't fully accepted themselves and finished coming out of the closet (acknowledging their attraction to people of the same gender.)

Reality: Bisexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation. Many bisexuals are completely out of the closet, but not on the lesbian/gay community's terms. (It is worth noting that many lesbians and gay men are not completely out of the closet and their process is generally respected; it is also worth noting that the lesbian/gay community whose "terms" are in question here has tended to be quite different for working class lesbians, gays of color, etc.) Bisexuals in this country share with lesbians and gays the debilitating experience of heterosexism (the assumption that everyone is heterosexual and thereby rendering other sexual identities invisible) and homophobia (the hatred, fear, and discrimination against homosexuals.)

Myth: Bisexuals are denying their lesbianism or gayness.

Truth: Bisexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation, which incorporates gayness. Most bisexuals consider themselves part of the generic term "gay." Many are quite active in the gay community, both socially and politically. Some of us use terms such as "bisexual lesbian" to increase our visibility on both issues.

Myth: Bisexuals are confused about their sexuality.

Truth: It is natural for both bisexuals and gays to go through a period of confusion in the coming-out process. When you are an oppressed people and are constantly told that you don’t exist, confusion is an appropriate reaction until you come out to yourself and find a supportive environment.

**It is important to remember that bisexual, gay, lesbian, and heterosexual are labels created by a homophobic, biphobic, heterosexist society to separate and alienate us from each other. We are all unique; we don’t fit into neat little categories. We sometimes need to use these labels for political reasons and to increase our visibilities. Our sexual esteem is facilitated by acknowledging and accepting the differences and seeing the beauty in our diversity.

Black Squirrel Phenomenon

I have finally gotten pictures of the black squirrels that live down the road from us. I have been trying to get pictures of them for quite some time now. We saw them out playing the evening when we came home. So I walked down with my camera. The lady that lives down at the edge of the road came out and talked to be. She said she had gotten them from a guy in greenfield back in 2003. She started out with two and they had a litter but last year no one really got to see them. This year they had another and were out more often. She is so proud of them too. It made her happy that I was taking pictures of them and that people stop to see them.

I have been looking up the info on these black squirrels and it turns out that they aren't really new. Just new to my area. As they would be in any area in the united states because they come from Canada. So here is a link. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/set/squirrelsblack.html and my pictures of course....

Time Out!

I have not been getting on the computer as much anymore. I also have not been logging in to my yahoo messenger or been writing in my journals like I normally do. I have not been logging in at grab.com either. I am isolating myself from the computer world. That also includes family and friends. I feel that it is the best thing that I can do for myself at this time. Because I need me time. Private time. And this seems to be working. I am feeling more myself and closer with myself. Like seeing an old friend that you have not seen in a long time. Or visiting a town that you once grew up in and have not been in for many years. It is a good feeling. A familiar feeling. And because of this feeling I feel good. For the first time in a long time (since I got my lap top) I feel like my old self. I only hope that it gets even better and that I don't take two steps back. So I will continue to isolate myself from the computer world until this dark cloud has been lifted from my soul. During this time I will also be working on my sketching skills. I will post updates every now and again. I love you all in computer world and I am sure to miss you. Wish me good luck.

Believe In Yourself

We are going to have Thanksgiving at my sister's. On thanksgiving day even. It will just be mom and dad there but me and Tom. The food will even be better because it mom and Amy are doing the cooking. Amy wants me to cook something too. Yeah right. Me cook? But I am sure I can figure out something to fix that is simple and good. Maybe baked beans with chunks of hot dogs in it. Or green beans with chunks of bacon. Or I could just simple my a family TV dinner of mac & cheese. Just heat it up and put it in a nice plastic bowl. I doubt that I do the last one.

Now that Thanksgiving is on. Or sort of on. Now we have two places to go for Thanksgiving. My sister's and Tom's mom's house. I would rather not go to his mom's but then that would be unfair. I told Tom that we would go over to his mother's real early. He agreed. But I am not going to eat much. For one, I know I am not going to like what she has. Secondly. I know that whatever it is that she is fixing isn't going to be much. And thirdly. I want to be hungry for the food at my family's gathering.

Last night was sick. I thought I was dying. I don't know if it was the flu or just gas but I threw up in the process. Nice huh? I stayed home from work today. My stomach still refuse to keep anything down. But I feel ok now. Maybe a little ickish but I am dealing.

Steam

Halloween is over. Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Or at least for some. My family won't be having it this year. They have moved it to the weekend. So it is still Thanksgiving but not on the right day. All because my grandma couldn't get the fellowship building. A building that is only rented out to those who go to the church across the street from it. That's beside the point. The point is, you can't have Thanksgiving on any day but the day it is marked on the calendar for. I know I am being a spoiled brat about this. But we have always had Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving like the rest of the world. Most people get that day off too. So now I am suppose to take an extra day off to have Thanksgiving on a day that isn't Thanksgiving. My sister had Thanksgiving off but not the Saturday that they have moved it too. My sister never gets Thanksgiving off and the one year she does.....*sigh* Ahh, fuck it.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, a strange thing indeed happened today. The kitty cats reportedly got to spend about 7 hours together without killing each other. The spray bottle I bought changed everything. They get a little too rough, they get sprayed and separate immediately. Easiest way to keep them in line while letting them spend time getting used to each other. Turns out they LOVE each other. They even bathed each other and slept together, which is what they're doing now.

This makes me so happy. I was concerned we'd never be able to let them hang out together and that Cleo would destroy all the carpet underneath the bedroom door. Now, they can be out together [as long as we're here] with limited supervision. I don't want to completely leave them alone together yet but I think we're closer to that goal. Curling up on the sofa to sleep together without being put there is certainly an encouraging start.

the worst halloween prank ever

well, I was sure fooled. these cats are never gonna be able to be left alone together. after a lengthy staredown between cat and kitten, a weird vibe developed between the two of them. then, Cleo went nuts. she started making these awful noises and going after Sabbath. they got behind the stereo and I went after them to break it up. he began to scream with fear but I got her before she could get to him. she clawed the shit out of me and I fumbled her. I finally got good hold of her and then she got me, right in the face. I screamed. Brad rescued Sabbath and put him in the bedroom while I tried to detach Cleo from my face. The profuse bleeding is under control now and I have finally stopped shaking. Brad called a vet who told us we have to start over. tell that to the bedroom carpet.

dare I ask, What now?

Knowing the exact time and date of death.... (?)

So, if I could know the exact date and time I was going to die, would I want to know?My answer is (no)And here's why: If I knew when I was going to die I would go mad. I think any person would. You would think about it all the time and you wouldn't be living anymore. You would be living for that day, that time that you would die. Everything you said or did would revolve around death. For in the back of your mind would be you death. There would be no point in living then. Life would be no fun if you knew when you were going to die. On second thought. If I knew when I was going to die, could I stop it from happening? Is it possible then, to cheat death? Hmmmmm.....How the mind does ponder.

What's my favorite season?

My favorite season is: SummerAnd the reason I love that time of year is ... I love summer because it is so beautiful. The sky is blue and grass is green. There are poeple everywhere doing outdoor stuff. Such as walking, flying kites, skating, playing basket ball, or just hanging out. Family gatherings take place in summer. With grill outs and going ot the beach. The flowers bloom and smell so nice. There are leaves on the trees. The animals play the most in summer. Of course it is very hot. But the best part of summer is taking off the clothes. If you are daring you get to run around your house naked. *blush* Oh wait. I do that in winter too. *LOL*
