I believe the most common used metaphors deal with love or the heart, love, pain, happiness or heartache. A lot of metaphors relate to the heart which brings forth love

(Love)1.Love is a thrill ride. 2. Love is a battle field. 3. Love is an adventure or 4.Love is life
This is the only list i could think of

Me and my talk about trivia to get each other's perspective on topics that may affect us or if we just want to hear their opinions. The majority of the time the real answer interests me so i keep looking for more information about it. I act the same wherever I go so it doesn't matter where i am. I don't change my personality or the things i say based on the environment around me. If i think my conversation will be overheard i won't tell too much personal info because it could harm me. I could get stalked or even worse. It does matter if it is a stranger because I would tell more about me to my associates than to a person i don't even know. Drunk people are careless of their attitudes toward people so they won't realize that their silly actions are affecting them. Well, honestly i don't usually walk down the street while i'm on the phone so it's irrelevant to me but if i did then i  would watch what i say around people i don't know.

Well, he may be implying that he thinks that she should be the one cleaning up the house by buying her a vacuum for her birthday. That probably occured in the olden days when men thought that women were supposed to be the house maids. It is the thought that counts though so it shouldn't matter what it is that he bought for her because he bought it when he didn't have to. Would she rather him give her a vacuum or nothing at all? On the other hand, they probably didn't have a vacuum so he decided to get her one as a birthday present. That's the only other reason i could think of honestly.  I wonder what she thought when she got it...

Relationships can be affected tremondously over any internet/social networking website and also Youtube. There is nothing inappropiate about telling people that you are in a relationship but you don't have to present every move within it. For example, if you have your relationship setting as "in a relationship" on Facebook and you break up with your girlfriend/boyfriend and switch it to "single" everybody that you know and maybe some others, will know your business. It's just completely unneccessary to broadcast every step of your relationship status over the web. I used to do that when i was younger but i have matured and grown past that. I have never known anyone to post videos of a breakup over Youtube but i have seen couples just having a good time. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes, i do have a few friends or shall i say associates in my phone but it doesn't make a difference. I usually don't hear from them anyway so it's not a big deal to me. I'm living my life so whenever they want to be a part of it i hope they can feel free to join

I think that virgin promise rings are a good sign of commitment. It means that you are willing to save your sexual desire until marriage. Everyone is not able to state that. Our society has corrupted alot of minds making young people and also older people think that if you haven't had sex than you are lame; which isn't close to true. It even states in the bible that sex was only created for two married individuals. I like anything that has to do with the virgin promises. There's nothing wrong with it at all. None of my friends have talked about it. Trust me they think about it in a completely diffferent way

I noticed that comedian Chris Tucker has aged tremendously. The last time i saw him in a movie he looked super young but now i can tell that his age is catching up to him. I also noticed that my grandma is aging too. When i was 10 years younger she didn't drink alot of beer but know she gets a little cranky when she doesn't get her beer. She is so accustomed to drinking them that she feels like she has to have them. She says that she drinks them because we stress her out; which also can be a sickness she has. You can tell the difference in peoples facial appearance, physical attitude or how they act overall that they are changing and developing with age though and stress also can be a factor in mental development.

Nonverbal communication can be presented in various ways. You can show nonverbal  communication by not listening when somebody speaks or being rude when somebody waves at you and you don't wave back. Nonverbal communication could also be not picking up the phone. Your wardrobe or your clothes are very important if you are trying to make a first impression. The thing is some people don't have too many decisions on what they will wear daily. Our society has a certain idea that you are cool if you dress nice or have what we call SWAG; which means something we all get. We all don't get swag so that's obviously a lie. Your personality is much more important than the way you dress anyway. Our generation has a societal norm that if you dress nice you can get girls. If that girl doesn't like you for who you truly are then she don't like you. She just likes the way you look. The way we present ourselves to others is taken out of context. It shouldn't matter what you dress like, if you're buff or not, if you have wavy hair. It  doesn't influence your daily life by trying to impress others. You should try to impress yourself sometimes.

Embarrassment is when something occurs that makes you nervous about what others will think or feel about you in a certain situation. I was afraid to speak my mind when i was younger because i had a fear of getting embarrased because no one agreed with my perspective not even my parents. I used to just try to make everyone happy but i'm not fearful anymore because God's opinion is the only one that matters so there is no way that you can embarass me. We all have expectations and when those expectations don't unveil the way we won't them too we usually comtemplate; which sometimes leads to mental embarrassment. You think about how that situation could have been different and how nervous you were which ends up totally embarrassing. You just have to live your life and don't worry about what other's think. If you are happy about your decisions then so be it. The generalized other depends on your role in society. If you have a high positon or job in life then what people think of you will certainly matter.

i know everyone knows the story of Tupac's death. My opinion beforehand is that i believe Tupac is still alive. Maybe i'm crazy but they don't even have enough evidence to say he's dead. Suge Knight, his music producer, said no one ever saw Tupac dead; which means in the casket.  The pictures of him before his death were obviously fake because they were all photoshopped. Nobody's going to take pictures of theirself looking the same exact way. A long time ago everyone gave up on it and said he was dead but now more evidence is resurfacing. His last picture of him sitting in the car at the stop light was extremely fake. In the picture he was sitting in the car at the stoplight and the keys weren't even in the ignition. How is that possible?? I informed all of my friends about it and they didn't believe me even though they saw it also. I tried to convince them based on what i saw but they still didn't believe me. We all have different perspectives and i see that mines is totally different than theirs.

I have never watched House but judging by the previews people really do like it. I believe it's because he presents his views in a different way than most people expect and he acts outlandishly which to some people is somewhat humorous. Humor attracts audiences and they see the way that his character acts and they are pulled in to watching the show

The way we are treated when we are infants can have a huge part of our life growing up but i honestly don't think we can be prisoners of our past. You may have a few problems developing socially or in other ways but your past does not determine your future it only defines where you have been and what you have gone through. Change is not impossible trust me. I have been through a lot in my life but i don't let that hold me back from pushing myself in a positive way to succeed in whatever i do everyday. We are usually attached to somebody that we love but the theory that we will always have the same kind of experiences sounds dumb to me. My romantic attachments have never been the same and i'm glad they weren't.  I try not to look backwards into the past but sometimes i find myself doing that so i usually pray that i can let it go.

Your past reflects on the present but it doesn't determine how you will turn out in the future.  I used to try to fit in so much when i was younger. One day everybody was doing hand lift back flips. I weighed like 90 pounds, i was skinny, and i decided that i wanted to be brave and make myself known by jumping onto their hands and telling them to throw me up. They threw me up VERY high and i froze in the air and  i didn't do a flip. Everybody was shocked and didn't react fast enough to catch me so i landed on my stomach. My eyes closed for a couple of seconds and i realized that i broke my right arm. I didn't cry until i put that ice on my arm. Yeah i cried... My mom got mad after she saw the bill but i felt comforted knowing that i still was alive and i was happier than ever; even though i missed like 10 games of the basketball season i was okay. Now i realize that i don't have to try to fit in because if they really were cool with me they would like me for who i am and not for the things that i do.

It is most likely to influence relationship success. I believe so because different cultures have different values and they expect their children to be in a relationship with somebody that reflects on those values. I have only seen Parental Control once but when i did see it the parents were very picky. They expected alot out of that person and they wouldn't accept it unless they were somewhat similar to their daughter/son.

Paris_2_DQ9

Well, i have only been gone for 3 1/2 weeks but i already miss her.  I usually tell her that i love her and that i miss her consistently just so she'll know that she is actually on my mind. We talk everyday but being there with her would be much better. I also tell her to be patient because i have to be so that's another way that i acknowledge the absence between us. I do have her pictures in my phone also but those are the major ways i let her know that i miss her

Paris_2_DQ8

well nowadays most r&b songs/ romance songs are about breaking up or making love. I believe that men and women both sing about love so i wouldn't know exactly which have it as the subject of most songs. Women sing about how love destroyed them, how deeply in love they are or how they are moving on but sometimes it depends on the genre of the song that is being sung. I don't really know how to answer this question that vividly but both sexes are widely portrayed in music in different ways

We actually do have a name for the back of the hand it is called the dorsal or the dorsum;which is latin for the back of an organisms body part. It would be the hand in this situation

DORSAL

•   The adjective DORSAL has 2 senses:

1. belonging to or on or near the back or upper surface of an animal or organ or part
2. facing away from the axis of an organ or organism

That applies to all organisms and of course us humans. The palm is more frequently used though. We experience more things with our palm also. We eat and we do productive things with our palm. There's nothing to do with the back of our hand and a backhand slap doesn't count. If you do find something else that we can do with the back of your hand please inform me.
http://www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/meded/medicine/pulmonar/pd/pstep74.htm This website basically shows a demonstration of both sides of our hands.

I don't have any problem with displaying affection in public. My girlfriend and I kiss in public. I do see people staring but they don't voice their opinion and honestly if they did i don't think i would care. We have the right to show our feelings just not if it involves weapons though that's against the law. Secondary schools on the other hand are more strict about PDA because you are in a learning environment and they don't want anybody focused on you but focused on the work that has to be completed. When you do show affection in the public i just think it's basically your way of showing people how you feel about that person. You kiss and show affection when you get married. That occurs in public. Is anything wrong with that? The only problem that i can think of is jealousy. If a person doesn't have a significant other and he/she sees you showing affections that person might get jealous. I don't know about everyone else but public display of affection is okay with me

• Phone convo's
• Expression of emotions
• FaceTime

I'm not fake & i don't believe anybody feels that way towards me because i act like myself regardless of what other people think. Well, I do care about what people think of me(first impression) but i don't let anybody's opinions control how i present myself. Social networking sites are a way to communicate with people you know and also people you don't. I still act like myself and as myself on Facebook and Twitter. People change the way they act to suit other people and that's why I used to feel like i didn't need friends. They acted one way when we were alone but when we were around other people they acted strange. I will never change for anyone but i am always willing to change more about me in a positive way.

 Divorce rates in India are amongst the lowest in the world. 11 marriages out of 1,000 marriages (around 1 marriage out of 100 marriages) ends up to divorce in India. I believe that's because in the U.S we have the freedom to voice our opinion in a marriage and us Americans usually want everything to work our way somewhat selfishly enabling our marriages to end in divorce. The low rate is mainly because most Indians still live in villages, where divorce remains a an important factor that can destroy a family's reputation and leave a woman an outcast/outsider for the rest of her life. Their divorce rate is actually slightly rising mostly because women in India feel they have values that have to be tended to and if that man is not being cautious or watchful of those and is being selfish the marriage will most definitely end up a marital catastrophe. In the U.S. divorce can just come easily if we just don't want to be with that person anymore. In India it's not that easy. They reflect more over their lives and consequences of leaving their other half. Therefore India has the lowest divorce rate. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/12/india-divorce-rate-rise_n_848201.html

I honestly believe marriages should not be arranged by parents. I believe they should be approved though. Nobody knows how you feel towards your other half except you so if your parents don't approve of it that's on them. On the other hand, if his/her parents don't approve of it you just might have to do some reconsidering. I had a lot of freedom in choosing the relationship am in now. I do plan on getting married and i also plan on getting her parents approval first before i start planning everything out. I just think it's a difference if your parents don't approve it than if your partner's parents don't approve of it. I'm not rebellious but that's just how i feel.       
 DQ3:
It is scientifically proven that the brain doesn't fully develop until the age of 25.The emotional makeup of a child is fully developed at age 5.  Although the brain reaches its full adult weight by the age of 21. Interesting! The neural connections of the brain continue to form, change and redirect when contacted with new experiences and new ideas. I stated that to tell you that you can't possibly have the mindset of staying in one relationship forever because your mind is still growing. Well even though i feel that way towards my other half the majority of college students feel the urge to get out and explore. College students like the idea of exploring new relationships and college is the place to be. Maybe you meet somebody that has more similarities that you have than your other half does. Will you leave her?  We are still developing mentally and emotionally so our mentality towards dating or romantic relationships and marriage our two different things. They should be a combination of the two.  I only date a person if i can see myself with them in the future and I'm in college too but college students just want to have fun; point blank. Seniors are a little older and they know they will be graduation soon so its a possibility that they will find that person they can branch out with in life. Maybe if they surveyed seniors instead of all college students they would get better results with their research.://www.academic.marist.edu/mwwatch/fall05/science1.htm

DQ4:

I have presented an unfair relationship. In my perspective it was revenge because i was presented with many unfair relationships. I am honestly in my first serious relationship. I acted as if i cared many times and that's somewhat rude but i did whatever i had to to get payback. It's immature but that was in the past. Most of us easily fall in love so it's easy to fall for any type of relationship that feels good. It's not good to present unfair relationships because that's when hearts get broken and when hearts are broken emotions are destroyed
