I am on a roll! This is one of the two themes I’m going to create for November. I’m so excited about designing. I’m doing a theme for another site. I guess I can plug in a preview. 
You can click on it for Lightbox goodness. I also did 2 other themes for this site but I scratched theme because I hated them. I decided to use a color palette I made on ColourLovers. I wanted a more creative DIY feel but something dark enough for fall. I haven’t had a dark layout in forever. It’s right up my alley. In case you want to use the palette, here’s the link. Yeah it’s named Boxers. I need new smilies, anybody know where to get some cute ones that will match everything? Oh and if you love me, just click to participate in the poll. Also, a note, if you’re using my WP themes, leave the credit on it. It’s really easy to find you.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
I actually started this blog pre-election results but I am VERY happy with the decision the country made. I did vote for the first time in my life. I am saddened that many are reverting to racism and foolish rants. Even before Barack Obama won, I was happy that so many people voted! Every vote did count no matter what and I’m very proud of us. However, that’s the end of politics on my blog for now. I’ll talk about it more on Livejournal later in the week.
It seems like lately the pressure to date and be sexual at young ages has increased. Of course many girls go through their school-age years dreaming of their “their perfect relationship” or whatever. I don’t know. When I was in elementary school, yeah I had crushes but I just thought it stopped there. It’s beyond getting a boy to “like you” in today’s society. By the age of 14, a lot of girls have engaged in some type of sexual act with a boy just to be accepted relationship wise. A lot of boys won’t date a girl without receiving some type of sexual favor first. I’ve heard this come out of my sister’s mouth (she’s 14) and it blows me away.
First of all, parents where are you? If people would start teaching their kids properly about sex and respect, a lot of problems cold be solved.
Secondly, a lot of these kids have great parents and do what they want to do anyway. No guy or girl loves you if they can’t respect your body first. You come first, always.
Third, media does not equal real life. Reality shows are rarely real. Please don’t follow them.
Fourth, what is this issue about dating so young? Why do people have age stamps on things that must be done. Never being kissed at seventeen does not make you lame. Being a virgin in college is not a problem. Who can tell you differently? Nobody. They aren’t living in your body. Take your time and do things when you’re ready.
I can go on and on but it won’t change a thing. Everyone has to make up their own mind about things. Just think before you act.
Welcome to Static-Romance.Org, your number one stop for design and life inspiration. My name is Angel Y. and I'm a newlywed twenty year-old freelance graphic designer and front-end web developer. I enjoy fashion, web, graphic, and interior design. I co-own 
I know! I remember elementary I liked boys and I had so-called boyfriend but the most we did was hold hands and sit next to each other at snack time/lunch. Once I gotten to middle school came the ‘you had to have a boyfriend’. I can’t say I fell into it but I had one and I was made fun of FOR having one. Because I WASN’T as adventurous as the other ‘black’ girls :err:
& now I see my EIGHT …YES 8 year old little cousin talking about how much she can’t wait to have a boyfriend and have sex!!!!! Her 13 year old sister doesn’t even talk like that.
Its getting ridiculous.
It seems that sex is this cultural norm that has changed as times have changed. If you think about it carefully, it’s all about what someone else thinks is appropriate. That’s kinda like morals, different people have different morals. I try not to judge people by what I believe, but what I know they know is right or wrong, however it’s difficult to actually understand what another believes, so I try not to be judgmental. I feel, though, that people should always be wise about engaging in sex and relationships. Sex is a very small portion of love, and that is, a certain type of love. But I am 100% with you that parents should definitely intervene in their children’s decisions. It’s outrageous what fourth graders are doing these days, seriously.
But yay for Barack! & i kinda got annoyed @ people & voting because of race. I look at it like this, I would have voted regardless of race/gender just because that’s my chance to help make a change. And I wish the old hags who complain about everything but won’t vote would stfu, cause that was their chance!
Anywho, cute theme! i lovee the colors!
♥ nica : ]
:biggrin: I can tell she wanna major in sociology lol because she using them words we are learning.

Nigels last blog post..I STILL DON’T KNO WHAT I WANT TO MAJOR IN
:love: i do i do!
i’m a sociology and communication major
english minor : p
It’s half and half blame for me. Part society and part parents. Society is hard to change, so of course parenting is the bigger issue. We have so many young women now trying to be parents, that they often teach their child what they know…which isn’t much most of the time. The child emulates what is sees, and if the parent is not leading by example, don’t expect the child to do things differently.
Children are like sponges and absorb much more than we give them credit for. Starting at the precious age of 2. If they don’t see it, they more than likely won’t do it.
Pressures will come throughout life in various ways, but if your foundation is strong, nothing and no one can break you.
lol i was the first person to vote that i am obviously cheap & shouldnt participate in the survey. because i am. xD
this theme is so cute and i love the Poetry one too. :blush:
Obama – Biden is all i have to say about the politics, and i am soooo happy -banana dances-
having sex for someone to like you… thats just so wrong. ugh,
i know some freshman who whore just to get attention,
but most of my friends are dudes & they always make it so clear-
girls like that are just jumps b/c really no dude wants a girl like that for a girlfriend-
they cant be trusted.
society is just off the wall these days;
damn MTV, Flavor Flav- LMFAO [let me stop!! xD].
- ooooh girl those kids on your Flickr pics are soooooo adorable!!
with the layouts, you dont want to be over priced or way under.. I guess make some $5-30.
Sex and teens can’t be stopped 100% but at the same time I do blame, peers, media and lack of the parent “chat” with their kids.
Then again I knew someone in gr.7 she had 7 different bfs within 2 weeks, had her 1st kid in gr.8 and by gr.12 she had her 2nd kid.
need smilies, i can help lol :cool:
Kimms last blog post..Comments for a Cause – Recap
Love the new theme and the colors are PERFECT!
I’m proud of our country too. I practically cried and then wanted to get drunk! Lol. I was soo happy about voting..
Oh, and I voted $5-10 was a very appropriate price. Personally, I’m gonna switch my prices up for my shopping center.
Idk whats up with these girls. Guys aint worth our time anyways. I tell my lil sister all the time, to talk to me if she needs advice with guys, because no else will say anything to her. I know I annoy her, but I always ask her if she has a boyfriend or a crush on anyone just to see where her head is at! Lol. I don’t no kinda boy tryna hurt my sister.. Not even Chris Brown (she loves him)! :biggrin: But these girls act like these guys are important. Focus on school and your goals in LIFE. Men and guys aren’t always that dang important!
Jaydes last blog post..New Month..New President!!!
:biggrin: I like the Layout.
And i agree about you on the sex issue. :wink:
What “people” do at certain ages doesn’t concern me.
But, for those in my life, like my little brother, I put age stamps that I think are appropriate for them. When I think they can handle it properly, I guess… It may not make sense. But, love rarely breeds logic.
Nice updates, and w00t for OBAMA!
Because at our generation, youth are more impulsive and is curious of these things. They are curious of how it feels and what will happen when they do it.
And the very obvious reason is because: They think its cool. Which is… just plain stupid. :|
On a lighter note, I love the colors of your new theme. For a designer like you, the prices for each theme you’re gonna make will be around $50-100, but that’s just my opinion. :)
Yvettes last blog post..Protected: Share lang!
I have a couple of smilies in my site but i’m not too sure if they would match or something :s
Anyway I love the color scheme you just made :)
Gels last blog post..a couple of firsts.
I LOVE THIS LAYOUT! And the colors :biggrin: Very nice. I’ll add you back on Twitter!
Thank you for the comments on my blog and I will add your link right now. :wink:
Tawnis last blog post..Sex on fire
hey!! i agree with you on that whole too young thing. i was just thinking that because i have a little sister and she is 14 and has engaged in sexual acts…and i also say the same for myself i was kinda young…and i dont know if its the pressure to make your partner happy…well it wasnt for me… it was about curiosity…. i think there should be more sex education in school or at home informing people of everything…and the parents should get involved… it was a big taboo for my folks and still is today even though im 19 years old…sex was just not discussed…
but anyhoo i love your wordpress themes and i cant wait until you start taking orders!!
thank you for your comment :love:
Your site is so pretty, this css is lovely colours.

megs last blog post..Knife Edge
This theme is like THE BEST. I voted on the poll as to how much you charge, and as good as quality as this is, I’m mad to see everyone voting for the first one so far. Lol.
About the young ones, sex and relationships:
I’m only 15 and as a guy, I say that I don’t expect any girl to do anything with me for us to ‘work’. I have mad respect for women and I actually despise those who feel they have to wear a short skirt or tight jeans. Don’t get me wrong, guys would love to see that, but at the same time, I think less of a girl (woman) when they have low respect for themselves dressing in such a way before a guy even inquires they do such thing. Like, if you have low respect for yourself, it’s just asking to be disrespected.
Me, I’m not at all worried about becoming a non virgin before college or anything like that. I think most guys need to rid the fact that your sexual status does not make you a better person. What makes a man a better person is WAITING for the right time proving to the girls that it’s not what we’re all about. Definitely not what I’m about, I can’t speak for everyone though.
-end my thoughts-.
Great post!
Jays last blog post..Things ARE Changing
My bf is the same way you are. I wish girls would stop and think that maybe not all boys don’t want to get in their pants and act like they have some sense.
Your layout is really lovely! :love: I wish I could think of anything like this! :blank:
And yes, I totally agree with you. Children try to be like grown-ups and act all mature but they are definitely not. I think it’s not only the fault of the parents but mainly of the media. TV makes them stupid – at my age there wasn’t so much BS and sex on TV. Children are not the same like they were 10 or 20 years ago. Well, society has changed and it keeps changing. When our parents were teens it was all totally different for them, too! :upsidedown:
My Linhs last blog post..Snotty Girl
I believe that alot of the problem initially comes from the home. Some teens experience neglect and lack of love. Parents seem to not realize that just because a child is old enough to do things for themselves, doesn’t mean they should stop giving their children the love and affection that they need. These same children then go out into the world trying to be accepted and will do anything to get that. Some young ladies look for attention in all of the wrong places and it’s quite sad.
Shannons last blog post..And She’s Here!
i see where your coming from and i was a teenage mother and media had absolutely no affect on me whatsoever , and well when i was growing up the same way your sister was well there were some guys who were like that esp. in middle school so i don’t see why people are all like oh my god whats going on now a days becus that has been happening for a long time now lol =) anywho i really like this layout <3
I’m going to say it once again lol I am so glad that Obama won too. It is sad that some are saying very negative and racist things about Obama. But like my Grandmother says, it’s just fear talking that’s all. Obama is not going to blow up the world :) Yeah about being sexual at a young age…I never really understood how it all started. I think it was the media but then again the parents for not telling the other wise. Peer pressure from friends can be a factor to young kids having sex as well. At that age I was still playing with dolls hee hee. Boys never crossed my mind but I was kind of scared of them but yeah. Young girls shouldn’t have to give themselves up just to keep a boy. If that is the case, then he is not worth the trouble and the reputation you’ll gain from it. And I love this theme by the way!
I voted for your price thing ^^. I think it should be around $15. Some don’t require to pay that much, but I think that is the minimun price. IDK. It varies though. I miss designing for the public and I can’t wait, well I can because I know my ass is going to get lazy, to open up my new domain. It’ll be soon, sometime this month. Good luck love.
Tais last blog post..How long has it been now?
14 seems so young! I mean it is, but it really depends on their mentality. When I was 14, having any type of sexual activity going on wasn’t even in my head! I don’t know whose to blame for exploiting it and making it alright if you use protection :err: Your sis seems pretty upfront and mature; because I would have never talked to my sister about it!
Your WP themes are awesome! I’d definitely buy them :hehe:
I’m loving your web themes :love: you are seriously on a roll…
Now to the age thing, I feel you on that…I have a young friend who is 15, I call her my daughter, lol and she is obsessed with boys, when I say obsessed, I mean to the point where that is ALL she talks about…She wants a boyfriend because everybody has one, she’s kissed god knows how many boys already and I don’t even know what to do…I’ve spoken to her but that sure doesn’t help…
Things have changed and it’s not for the good, Society has changed but I’m hoping that another change comes and for the good of the world because children these days are not innocents anymore, at the age of 15, they acting like they are grown ups instead of acting 15 and enjoying childhood.
I have to say I completely agree with you. Where are the parents? Why are then not talking to their kids about sex at an age where they will just go out and find out for themselves if no one else tells them about it. If you leave it up to the schools who knows what they will learn. I think sex ed is important in schools but parents have to back up what their kids learn by talking to them. Making sure that they understand what they are told.
I waited until I was 19 before I had sex the first time. I had a lot of pressure at 14, 15, 16 years old by boyfriends but I refused. I wanted to wait.. It might not be right for everyone but it was right for me to wait. I wish more kids would do it. Wit until at least 16 or 17. 14 is way to young to be thinking about doing it.
It scares the crap out of me for my own children when I have them someday. I know I can talk to them. And I know I can try and teach them the importance of waiting until they really believe the time is right but will they listen to me?
I know how you feel about saying it blows you away when your sister talks about it at 14. My brother started talking about it at the same age (he’s 17 now) and I was so shocked. Especially since he is mentally only on the level of a 12 or 13 year old if that! He has some problems… I just couldn’t believe it when he started talking about it though!
Kirstens last blog post..Getting Lost Is Hard To Do
YES! Ohmygosh, YES!! Finally, someone who agrees with me! I’m right with you on that sex and relationships, girl! I also don’t understand why you have to engage in some sexual activity when you’re in a relationship. Somehow, in some unspoken way, people are required to do something sexual. And if one of them refuses to do it, he/she is dumped. Wtf.
I have a bf and the thing I love about our relationship is we don’t have sex. We’ve done it in the past but then we decided not to anymore because we don’t want our relationship to be based on sex. Now I’m certain that he’s in it for my love, not for my body.
My sister is around your sister’s age too. She just turned 15 and her friends are doing all sorts of crazy stuff already. They’re like 14-16 and they’ve had more experience than me. Me, a 20-year-old woman. They’re “girls” and one of them had kissed 8 total strangers in one night and spent another night with a guy she didn’t even know. At 15, she had a pregnancy scare. What is this world coming to?
Michelles last blog post..I’m not good at making up titles
I don’t understand why people stress age so much either because back in the day people used to get married at 15 years old so I really don’t understand the problem. We got so many age limits on EVERYTHING!
Janies last blog post..I’m Overdosing On Fuckery.
I’m so glad that Obama won too. However, like I said in my blog, I didn’t vote.
I haven’t had much luck with dating, unfortunately. I’ve had my crushes, but my problem is, fearing rejection. When I was in 8th grade, I really liked this guy, then made the mistake of writing him a letter, explaining my feelings. He came up to me, moments later, and broke my heart, saying that he couldn’t be seen with me, vice versa. Since then, I haven’t really bothered, and I just have the theory that “he will find me”.
I just think it’s ridiculous how these young kids are getting so involved being sexual at such young ages, before parents even get to have that “birds and bees” talk. My parents never talked to me about it. I just learned, and figured it all out myself, from my older cousins, and friends. I’m still a virgin, but I’ve kissed, and everything. I may be 22, but I’m not rushing it.

It’s pretty scary what people define as a relationship now adays. It’s even scarier to hear what they believe is actually sexual what is not.
However, what can I say? I’ve just turned 17 a few days ago. I’ve been with my boyfriend for over a year. And even though almost everyone who doesn’t know me really personally probably thinks that I’ve had sex a long time ago. The things is I haven’t. Just after like a month going out with him I said I wasn’t going to be ready very soon to do anything even really sexual. I told him that he had to be okay and accept that. It’s pretty freaking great, he’s always been so great and patient with me. :)
