Cocaine...... not a good past time.

Cocaine is a powerfully addictive drug of abuse. Once having tried cocaine, an individual cannot predict or control the extent to which he or she will continue to use the drug.

The major routes of administration of cocaine are sniffing or snorting, injecting, and smoking (including free-base and crack cocaine). Snorting is the process of inhaling cocaine powder through the nose where it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the nasal tissues. Injecting is the act of using a needle to release the drug directly into the bloodstream. Smoking involves inhaling cocaine vapor or smoke into the lungs where absorption into the bloodstream is as rapid as by injection.

"Crack" is the street name given to cocaine that has been processed from cocaine hydrochloride to a free base for smoking. Rather than requiring the more volatile method of processing cocaine using ether, crack cocaine is processed with ammonia or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water and heated to remove the hydrochloride, thus producing a form of cocaine that can be smoked. The term "crack" refers to the crackling sound heard when the mixture is smoked (heated), presumably from the sodium bicarbonate.

There is great risk whether cocaine is ingested by inhalation (snorting), injection, or smoking. It appears that compulsive cocaine use may develop even more rapidly if the substance is smoked rather than snorted. Smoking allows extremely high doses of cocaine to reach the brain very quickly and brings an intense and immediate high. The injecting drug user is at risk for transmitting or acquiring HIV infection/AIDS if needles or other injection equipment are shared.

Health Hazards

Cocaine is a strong central nervous system stimulant that interferes with the reabsorption process of dopamine, a chemical messenger associated with pleasure and movement. Dopamine is released as part of the brain's reward system and is involved in the high that characterizes cocaine consumption.

Physical effects of cocaine use include constricted peripheral blood vessels, dilated pupils, and increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. The duration of cocaine's immediate euphoric effects, which include hyper-stimulation, reduced fatigue, and mental clarity, depends on the route of administration. The faster the absorption, the more intense the high. On the other hand, the faster the absorption, the shorter the duration of action. The high from snorting may last 15 to 30 minutes, while that from smoking may last 5 to 10 minutes. Increased use can reduce the period of stimulation.

The "N" word

I not a person that gets offended at much, not even when some of my friends like to constantly use the word Nigga. I just don't seem to understand why someone would want to call someone that. We all know that it was use to belittle the blacks dating back to the 17th century but now that someone decided to take off the ER and add an A its ok. Well I have decided its not. I don't want anyone calling me Nigga, not a single friend, not even in fun and games. I don't care if you are white or black, the word is ignorant and I think that it needs to be avoided.

That's now 3 times you have been blogged about Brianne

GIRL TALK!!!

I love being able to just sit with a good "girlfriend" and have nice girl talk. its can be dull but at the same time so good, who do you like, how cute he may be, what he is like and so on and so forth sometimes just to have that dtr talk is good for a person. I don't want to say too much about my secret friend "Brianne" but I love having conversation with you even if they are about stupid stuff like boys. At least the conversations can be intellectual as well....

Things you never really wanted to say

i love you
call me later
we should hang out sometime
you are the only one
i never had better
i want to have your kids
ohhhhhh Richard,,, I mean Cory.

favorite line in a movie

Pulp Fiction - Bruis Willis talking to his french girl friend:

girlfriend " will you give me oral pleasure?"
Bruis " will you kiss it?"
girlfriend " yes, but you go first"

I have yet to find someone who can beat me in Tony Hawk

I did it I finally killed the fly!!!!!!!! now to just find where he feel.

FLY

Me and my roommate (ali) keep a clean house but for some reason there is this fly that has taken the liberty to stay around my couch, now this fly is not a normal fly I have reason to believe that he is a fly that likes to abuse people. there has been multiple times where I was almost sleep on the couch and woke up with the fly looking at me I even think it was up my shirt. I will not rest until he is dead!!!!!!

A great drink

Ultra Pink Martini
	Ingredients 6 ounces of P.I.N.K. caffeine and guarana infused vodka 2 ounces of Pom pomegranate juice 1/2 fresh lime 2 thin slices of blood orange

what to do?

as i was sitting on my lovely couch pondering what to do at 3:00 in the morning i had an idea............GO TO SLEEP!!!! why is it not that easy?????

pressure

pressure to be all that I can be, and not get lost in between
pressure to give all that I can give and not to forget nor neglect me
pressure to love anyone that wants to be loved but always remember to love me
pressure to believe in mankind thru our destruction and poverty
this pressure that I feel holds true to one thing there are good people in the world despite what others may see

I dont like it

the game below SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

NEW VIDEO GAME

I just got a new video game Davinci Code and it has been in the p2 all night and I have not even started..

listen up friends

if you say that a person is interesting that does not mean your in love with them nor does it mean you want to sleep with them!!!!!!! "remember that friends" so lets drop it

Emotional Breakdown

I just got done having an emotional break down, I think that it was something that needed to happen, at least that's what Brianne tells me. "PS i love you Brianne just for being there for me today when I needed someone" But I'm really not the person that crys I just write my pain down. I do think that I needed to let out the tears that I have inside otherwise they will just build up inside and it will get worst. I am so worried that if I cry in front of people then it will show a sign of my weakness.

Unexpected money

Don't you love when you receive money that you did not know you were going to get. For those of you who don't know I started at Starbucks like 4 weeks ago and totally forgot that I get tips so josh "assistant manger" brought like $120.00 out to me today and said "your tips are taking up to much space" that just made my day.........

Bluegills now fight terrorism

A type of fish so common that practically every American kid who ever dropped a fishing line and a bobber into a pond has probably caught one is being enlisted in the fight against terrorism. Francisco, New York, Washington and other big cities are using bluegills — also known as sunfish or bream — as a sort of canary in a coal mine to safeguard their drinking water.Small numbers of the fish are kept in tanks constantly replenished with water from the municipal supply, and sensors in each tank work around the clock to register changes in the breathing, heartbeat and swimming patterns of the bluegills that occur in the presence of toxins."Nature's given us pretty much the most powerful and reliable early warning center out there,"

I love my niece

I would give every bone in my body for this little girl ps you cant tell but her shirt says TOOL

Segregation?

OK so the show Survivor has now taken 20 people and place them in four tribes and then divided them by race. WOW, at the end of this season the "toughest" race will win. give me a f****** break. If this is not the most demented thing ever done for a reality show.

Spinach anyone?

You asked me out Sept. 18, 2000

OK so today "Sept. 18"would have been John and myself 6 year anniversary. Crazy, I know. It makes me sad to think about it sometimes but I know that it was for the best. We have been apart for 2 month or so and have not spoken for 1 month. Sometimes I wounder if I did the right thing by calling us off. I have to keep telling myself that we were both going in two different direction and in the end it would have been a mess. So for today I will still celebrate this 6 year anniversary not for us but for new beginnings for the both of us. We both learned allot from one another, and you always have a special place in my heart.

We need a come back

Test how smart you are

A. The length of a rectangle is 9 centimeters more than half the width. Find the length if the perimeter is 60 centimeters.

B.

A box of thoughts I am
Many I may hold.
Locked I can be,
To hide them away
Until the time is told.

Memory, memory, memory I keep
Tell yours to me
I'll save it; I won't peep
A word about it
Unless that is your wish.
Yet, beware, and do not feed me too much,
For not only stop working will I,
But I may also crash.

Believe it,
It's true
Although hard to believe
For so much information I keep
Yet, organized I can be
If organization is what you seek.
WHAT AM I

5k

So one of my close friends (Brianne) left her home this morning to go a run in the 5k, I am SO proud of her. I would love to do that if I was in the shape I was in high school, but I am not so got some work to do. I did however go to the gym this morning at 8am. And amazingly in the last month I have lost 8lbs but I know that has allot to do with the break up. I have a goal set to drop the weight by my next birthday and I know that I can do it I just need to set my mind to it. Then me and you (Brianne) can run in the next 5k together......

Daddy's little girl

Being as spoiled as I was by my father I never really let it get to my head because I knew that it would not last. My friends would say oh Le'Anna you are so Lucky that your dad is so nice, but see what they did not look at was my father treated me like that because I was a good kid and got amazing grades and i did what i was told to do. I feel blessed that he was always on top of what I was doing, if it was softball, track, theater or the debate team he was always there to support me. That is why I am the person I am today, he wants me to be the best attorney there is. I love you daddy........

I can get an A+ in advance calculus but I can't seem to figure out the stat counter set up.. something seems to be wrong with that......Any good advice?

Starbucks take it easy

Some of you may have heard that schools are baning the new classic coffee cups of Starbucks because the women in the pic. is showing her Breast.... Give me a break.

So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the path of each man's genius contracts itself to a very few hours.

It seems so quite when no one is around it makes everything so surreal. Although when I am alone I am able to research and study more, I love when I have my friends all around me, I was born to entertain so having people over to entertain is what I really enjoy doing. So when I am alone I get almost depressed because I am not use to it. Maybe I need a dog, I guess the best thing for me to do is savor this time I have by myself, use it to get to know me even more.

"Sex" party

I was invited to a Pleasure Party today and well, I dont know if that is an insult or what. I kinda want to go just because I never been to one. And on the other hand I dont because I dont want anyone to think I cant get any "if you know what I mean" because I can I just dont want to waste this good lovein on just anyone lol. And to sit in a room with a bunch of girls and most likely some gay guys, and look a sex toys just does not really put me in a party mood, cause I know at the end of the night I will just be going home alone...................sorry dad if you read this.

Is that your type?

I keep watching my friends and I see the people that they like and/or are dating and I always thought "well they don't really seem like each others type" then I thought about it how do you really know if someone is your type? Just ending a six year relationship I don't really have a type because I have only dated one person really in my whole life. So for those six years that person was my type but that was "high school sweetheart" stuff, but now being a women I have changed and with me changing I think that my type can change. Maybe type A and type B person would turn into something great, two different worlds connecting bringing two different styles to a friendship/relationship, sometimes I don't even no what the hell I am talking about...........

Kids!!!!

I was watching this women today at Starbucks as she was drinking her tall, dry, cappuccino, talking on the her phone just doing whatever she was doing, while her maybe 8 year old daughter sat at the table and seem to be in torment.

I don't know why I was thinking so hard about this little girl, maybe it was the to many rum and cokes from the night before but I felt bad for her . It seemed to me her mother did not even know she was there. So I started to ask myself why would a person bring unwanted kids into this over populated world? It seems almost selfish to do such a thing like having kids and then realize that you did not want them in the first place.

The things that the U.S army has now been subject to do to keep our country safe.

After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Gary Weddle followed the news so closely he forgot to shave. After a week he decided not to shave until Osama bin Laden was caught or killed.

A new class is starting

"Useful for those who plan to travel in the Middle East"

Who's that lady lady?

Well there is not much to say about this. It's my friend, Thomas, and well he wanted to show his Metro sexual side!!!! Kinda looks like Justin from American Idol!

1 of the SAT questions I got wrong

What is the sum of 5 consecutive integers if the middle one is 70?

1. 14
2. 75
3. 272
4. 330
5. 350

If you know that the 5 integers are consecutive, and you know the value of the middle one, then you can find the value of each of these integers. Once you know the integers, you can find their sum. Well at the time I could not remember that oh well.

"Sorry that the story of my capture overshadowed the really important news story of a judge ruling that Bush's wiretapping program was illegal. Sorry, but the blame goes to you, the media."

CHAVEZ: It's me... Hugo Chavez, the president of Argentina... Fidel, do you recognize me?

CASTRO: I do, but the U.S. doesn't..."

Worst pick up lines ever

I'm so tired, but if I sleep I may miss the world

I dont want to be awake but my body cant comprehend being alseep

So I pace, I pace back and forth reading writing and listening to my heart

Listening to what it may say to do next to occupie my time

I learn about myself when I am sleepy

I learn how much I can take before I break myself.

I have not yet been broken so I stay awake

I have been analyzing everything I could think to do

The biggest thing that I have found out is,

I have many years left ahead

but still not enough time to waste on sleep

Bad habits in some form.

I guess if you have a habit that is limiting the things that you use to do then you should stop. Then why don't we stop? Human's are so weak to the to flesh of another, weak to the pressure of stress, and the pressure of society. In some way shape or form we all have habits that we need to break. It may be smoking, drinking, "loving" to much, or it may be just netwoking, when it starts interfering with the ones you love then it is time to stop........So whats stoping me? Am I to weak? Who know's.

So I am reading a book right now called, Life's only Erection (it has nothing to do with what you think) but I am confused by what they are trying to tell. They say that the most exciting part of my life or the biggest thrill I will have is death. What kind of "erection" is that?

The Worst AnalogiesEver Written in a High School Essay

They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again.

The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.

McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup.

From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and "Jeopardy" comes on at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30.

Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.

Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center.

Bob was as perplexed as a hacker who means to access T:flw.quid55328.com\aaakk/ch@ung but gets T:\flw.quidaaakk/ch@ung by mistake.

He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.

The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man."

Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can.

John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

The thunder was ominous-sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play.

His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
