fell like crap...i have had this crush on this boy since the first week of school, and it is first year so he didnt have that many friends. i tried to impress him by being in his reseach group but he really didnt notice me, so i quit for a while but i still liked him.he is really REALLY smart like nerd smart and doesnt have that big of a wardrobe but he is realy cute..now like 4 months later he still dresses the same way and is still soo smart and like al the girls like him...i can barely talk to him and i think he knows i like him. today i found out that the most popular girl in school asked him out and he said yes.....huh..i tried to like someone who wasnt really in the "in" crowd thinking i would have a better chance but now look wat happens! im so pissed off!!!!! i know he is cute but i thought that not that many people would have a crush on him since he is almost like a nerd, wears the same shoes everyday,and has a very small wardrobe,since populars arnt really into that
HELP

I remember thinking things like that when I was in school too. Life is not always predictable. If he is really cute and all the girls are after him, he had a choice and I guess that is all there is to it. There are plenty of boys for you too I am sure. Just relax and forget about having tunnel vision, and someone will come round. Good Luck.

ive seen people in California (Dogtown Z-Boys) skateing and walking around without shoes on. Is it because its warmer out there? do you get used to walking around without shoes on?

I live in Europe (Netherlands), it's not that warm here but I haven't worn shoes for over ten years. Yes, you get used to walking without shoes, they're not necessary at all! I am on my feet a lot at work, sometimes take hikes of up to about 10 miles (which is the most I've hiked at all, I'm not that much into all-day hikes), sometimes do a bit of running barefoot and I have never had sore feet, nor cuts from glass (a tiny splinter maybe once a year), and it's *very* comfortable. Even in winter, my toes are less cold than they used to be when I still wore footwear. It's sad so many people think going barefoot is gross or dangerous, it really isn't.

My niece and nephew who are 5th & 6th graders and myself(12th Grade) would like to learn how to draw. What are some good updated drawing books that we can use.

The reason why I aksed was because, my 12 year old nephew likes to draw Dragon Ball Z, Sonic The Hedgehog and Boy Shows. And my 10 year old niece and myself would like to do Fashion Design(Everything from Shoes to Sunglasses to Clothes) She likes Bratz and things. I have some questions.

1)What are some basic books that will teach us how to draw?
2)Are there any Character Drawing Books
3)If a person has a Talent in Coloring very well what kind of job can they get with that?

1.) Can't say, any woudl work fine, but the best way is to draw a lot just yourself and random objects...

2.) For character drawing..."How to Draw Manga" books are awesome. I love them to death; they give such great ideas and such.

3.) Maybe in animation, they have a section for coloring in the drawings?

I hope this helped :)

So the lines with the question marks are the ones you want clarified?

"8th Street": It's known to be where St. Mark's Place is (which of course is in NY), which is where urban teenagers hang out, according to Wikipedia.

"BK from Texas": Beyonce Knowles is from Texas. It might be one of the few songs where he acknowledges her, I think.

"Bed-Stuy": Short for Bedford-Stuyvesant, it's a predominantly black neighborhood found in the center of NY.

"Home of that boy Biggie": Yep, Biggie Smalls. Also from Brooklyn.

"Say what up to Ta-ta": It's Ty Ty, who is Jay-Z's nickname to Tyron Smith, who is his "BFF".

"Mai Tais": Drinks. I don't know the relevance to NY, but he's probably mentioning in reference to his past where he probably drank it a lot and still do today.

"N*gga, I be Spiked out/I could trip a referee": He could get front row seats to a game and be so close to the players that he could literally trip a referee. Possibly.

"Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game": OG referes to Juan Perez, President of Roc-La-Familia, and co-owner of the 40/40 club.

"Corners where we selling rocks/Afrika Bambaataa sh*t": I think he's referring to the fact that they're from the Bronx and they were popular to listen to during the breakout of the hip hop scene when he was growing up (I could be wrong about that, because I've no idea how old he is) or the fact they have an album called "Planet Rock", meaning that it can go both ways.

"Yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back": He names all types of the most common transportation in NY (yellow cab - taxi, gypsy cab - illegal taxi, dollar cab - one dollar taxi).

"8 million stories out there and they're naked": Refers to the 1948 film "The Naked City" with the quote: "There are eight million stories in the Naked City; this has been one of them."

"3 Dice Ceelo/3 Dice Marley" - It's 3 Card Molly. Both refers to the stereotypical "alley" games.

"Lights is blinding/ Girls need blinders" - Just referring to the chorus about the "big lights" being everywhere in NY. Lights go on during the night time, where girls would be on the streets for A. prostitution or B. nighttime clubbing.

"Or they can step out of bounds / Quick, the side lines is blind with casualities" - They could get caught up with the lights (which also refers to fame, the in-crowd as he points out a little later). I'm not sure about the casualty part.

"Who sip the light casually, then gradually become worse" - The fame can become an addiction.

"Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin / And Jesus can’t save you / Life starts when the church ends" - Still referring to girls chasing fame in the city, where "virgin" means the innocence they have before they get into the real world.

"MDMA got you feeling like a champion" - MDMA is better known as ecstasy. But it means that the girls, who have lost their innocence when chasing fame, are officially in the "in-crowd" by doing drugs and such (I think I worded that wrong).

"The city never sleeps, better slip you a Ambien" - Ambien is a drug for people who can't sleep. Since they're doing drugs already, why not slip another one?

And that concludes it. I sorta paraphased and did quick research, so there are some parts where it could be wrong.
