To Fear or Not to Fear

Again.. Sorry!

My fears are as follows: Spiders, drowning, not being able to experience all of the experiences I want to experience in life before I die, never being in love, parents being disappointed in me, Revelations (I don't believe that will happen but just reading it makes my skin crawl :/ ) and not getting into college.

I love Halloween and I DON'T believe that it's a Hallmark holiday. It's based off of the Day of the Dead in Mexico and I love dressing up. It's very fun. and exhilerating. Yeaahhhh Woo!   :)

Old Superstitions Die Hard?

Again, sorry about the lateness!

I don't believe in superstitions all that much. When I knock salt over, I throw it over my shoulder and sometimes I catch myself knocking on wood when I say something I don't want to happen. Luck I believe to an extent.. I believe more in fate and whatever happens was meant to happen. Luck is just a detail to that idea. But whenever I break a mirror, have a black cat cross my path, walk underneath a ladder, or open an umbrella inside.. I always catch a hint of worry in my mind. But then I blow it off and forget about it.

Food!?

I am dearly sorry for the lateness. I haven't been on the computer that much.

I LOVE FOOD. It's amazing. Except brussel sprouts. Ick :/ I am actually eating a cookie right now. It's a white chocolate chip macadamian nut. Yum, my favorite kind of cookie. I think it's from Costco. My favorite food store. Food makes the world go roung. I just wish you couldn't get fat from it. :(

America - From and Optimists point of View

   Ummmm wellll... Just to take a spin on things, I am an optimist and I'd rather see things good, not bad. So here it goes.
    I love that we can speak freely our minds and what not. I couldn't imagine a place where you could get shot just for saying something you weren't supposed to say. Most people have an abundance of food, and America isn't in poverty. We have clean water (for the most part), electricity, hygiene, and shelter. ( I know some people don't, but the majority of us do) and so on and so forth. We have problems, yes. But nothing is perfect.

I'm tired of this topic, so I'm stopping. Capiche'?

Damn your eyes

I think this blog should be a lot more colorful. The blackness of it makes me want to rip my eyeballs out with spoons. Like, I like hopping on here and reading what people have to say. But this is seriously too dark looking! Aaaaaaaa

Take a Left Turn There

I think that our country is taking a step or more like a jog in the wrong direction. about two thirds of our country (the ones that come up with the stupid ideas and the third that just follows whatever they say) just goes with what they think sounds like it will be a quick fix or tries to do too much. then there is the third that is smart and thinks about the long term affects and want to turn right not left with the other group.

so in my opinion i think we should not be picking fights so that we can be "The Most POWERFUL" country and just try to do whats best for our people and think about what our actions will do in the future.

OH! 4 at one time!

Superstition and luck: Actually this is something i think about quite frequently, and still i have no answer. My brain is thinking in cause and effect. if an apple is dropped, it will hit the ground. when the apple is dropped you can predict the future by using past experiences, and there for the apple hits the ground. but i also think of the luck side, the what if's. what if a bird swoops down and picks up the apple, luck. I know bad example but i hope you see my point. So after much thinking i still cant really determine if there really is luck or just a set of events leading to a logical conclusion.

Heath care: Well unlike luck this is something i hardly ever think about, or even know whats going on. The words do have meaning to me but all i get when i think about it is a big issue that i really don't know anything about. I know obama is doing something about it or with it, but other than that im pretty nieve. so nieve in fact that i cant even spell that word right.

Food: Probably my favorite topic so far. I really like food, ask anyone who sat at my table in seventh grade about last years corn dog, and they'll tell you that ill eat about anything. I don't really like to gorge myself on food, or just eat a lot, but for some reason i just in joy eating.

Society: I would like to think that were heading in a good direction, but im not sure if we are. As humanity i think we are making great improvements to poverty and the basics for survival for all people. But we are also creating a nightmare for our climate. im not sure the earth can sustain all the people on the planet. On a country level, the big thing seems to be the economy. I personally think that we are making huge gains there. if i understand correctly, then the highest the dow jones industrial got was just about 14000 points, then it crashed all the way down to 6000 something. Now its at 10471.58 that means were over halfway to a complete recovery. I know its a lot more complicated than those three numbers but it seems to me that as long as we stay on this somewhat steady path then America should be ok.
