Nobody ever likes to get "old" however it is something that, physically, none of us as of yet can control. We can always be young at heart if we so choose, and more and more of us are beginnning to live by the infamous Toys 'R' Us song...I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys 'R' Us kid...etc. Which is good, I think. We should all live life to it's fullest and never ever take anything for granted. Have fun as long as you can!!

I have taken the oppotunity to find some sites that personally I find to be a lot of fun! If you know of any, please share them with us, and I will include them on this page! ;o)
Try this new Star Wars trivia game, and see how much you really know about Star Wars!!! ;o) Have fun!!! ;o)
Remember to have fun, but please be careful, and think about the choices that you are making. This poem has been all over the internet, and I got it out of a book. It's all over my web page because I believe that it sends a REALLY IMPORTANT message..
Somebody Should Have Taught Him
I went to a birthday party
but I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink at all,
so I had Sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
the way you said I would,
that I didn't choose to drink and drive,
though some friends said I should.
I knew I made a healthy choice and
your advice to me was right
as the party finally ended
and the kdis drove out of sight.
I got into my own car,
sure to get home in one piece,
never knowing what was coming,
something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement.
I can hear the policement say,
"The kid that caused this wreck was drunk."
His voice seems far away.
My own blood is all around me,
as I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
"This girl is going to die."
I'm sure the guy had no idea,
while he was flying high,
because he chose to drink and drive
that I would have to die.
So why do people do it,
knowing that it ruins lives?
But now the pain is cutting me
like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell my sister not to be afraid,
tell Daddy to be brave,
and when I go to heaven to
put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him
that it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his mom and dad had,
I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter,
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
and I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me, Mom,
as I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say
I love you and good-bye.
