Unusual Weekend?

       Unusual, something not commonly done or seen. This weekend my unusual act occurred inside my window. I was seeking out WiFi in my neighborhood since I do not own any of my own. Since I do not have WiFi in my house it Is hard for me to download books on my kindle unless I am at school or the library. At this time I could not wait for Monday to come around because I was craving a new book to read. So there I was sitting in my window searching for WiFi. It took about twenty minutes for me to stay connected and successfully download the book I was  looking for. In those twenty minutes I loss connection about three times causing me to start over. By  once it downloaded I ended up finishing the story in two or so hours. So this was my unusual adventure this weekend.

We Need Change And We Need It Now!

If I could change one thing, I would change how the government is ran. There are many corrupt politicians, we are in debt to many countries, and there are many other flaws that can make our country seem weak. The government cannot agree on many problems needing immediate fixes. One of these problems is our extreme debt, yet we continue to take more and give out money we do not have to other countries. Not only this, but we take them from governmental systems (aka communism) that we are the polar opposite of. These countries are doing better than us economically, sending the message that they are even doing better politically. While it is important to help out other countries and make allies it is also important to put our needs before others. Although this sounds selfish it is what need to be done to build our country back to the powerful country we use to be. We need to strike fear back into other countries letting them know we are not a push over that we will stand our ground. Our government wants us to run when we barely know how to crawl. Putting us all in danger and open for attack. I hope the government wakes up and starts doing what we elected them to do, because if not I do not think we will be able to avoid a war on our home front.  

Anywhere-Everywhere

     If I could go anywhere I have never been before I would go to Vietnam. Not many people know and very few can tell I am part Vietnamese. I would like to learn my heritage. How and what they do to celebrate the different holidays. There are also certain illnesses that  Asians are more pron to catching. Since my mother never knew her biological father we do not know much about his side of the family. I would like to go there even just for the summer or a school semester to trace my grandfathers history. To learn all I can learn about the culture and the many legends they are known for. I am also interested in learning their language for its very different from English. The way they live is very different from the way we do also. Were we buy groceries on a average of every two weeks they shop every day. They do not have refrigerates and freezers as we do they have whats known as ice boxes. There are many differences between our ways of living and culture. Asians are all about honor they do not believe in giving up. When one falls in battle they feel remorse for there lost soldiers but they think of it as karma. When ever they feel as if they have bought shame on their selfs and family they will commit an honorable suicide. An honorable suicide is when they kneel on their knees and stab their self and a comrade cuts their heads off to end suffering. So it would be a honor and privilege to be able to spend some time in Vietnam.          

Music=Life

         Music is important in my life because music is a way of expressing individuality. When I hear different lyrics I try to decipher the underlying meaning the song writer is trying to convey. There are many songs of grief and happiness, even things that are seen as illegal. But all good songs have meaning and feelings people can relate to. With out music life would be bland and very depressing. Music is a way of expression. People often sing or write songs to voice things they could not easily say or express. Songs often possess different meanings to the different listeners. With out music people who are shy or have low self-esteem would be very closed off and could show signs of depression. They would feel as if they would be judged by anything they say or do. Music is the way of life and it is always involving to new types from jazz to rap and even country. It helps people when there down and turn into a million dollar hit. Music is irreplaceable.
