The Magic Refrigerator is Killing America

[googlevideo]8248766101102341416[/googlevideo]

This video, I think shows the desperation of alcoholic beverages. It really outlines the decline of western civilization. These people are so absolutely drawn to this alcoholic beverage that they look up to it as almost a god, by referring to it as the magic refrigerator. Is our country really that uncivilized? Have we become so unmotivated that what we look forward to a “magic refrigerator” showing up? I think it’s appalling how absolutely ridicules this commercial is, although I do think it is affective in showing how good the beer is. It gets the point across that you need this beer. If that is what it takes for someone to buy that beer, then is it really worth buying if it’s just going to make you stupider? You would already have to be stupid to be give in to the weak advertising antics portrayed in the commercial. And the beer is only going to make your chronic condition of stupidity even worse. This pitiful add only adds to America’s problems. Shouldn’t someone stand up to this enormously popular beer company and say nay? I guess thats what hippies are for huh?

Losing Someone You know is Like…

Losing someone you know and love is like…

Having all of your compassion and love abandon you, leaving you without anything to lean on when you start to feel alone.

Droping a hundred pound weight off a bridge representing your feelings for that person, but you realize that there was a rope attatched to it wrapped around your neck. You cant let go of your feelings, and they drag you downwards into a perpetual fall of unknowingness, and fear.

Standing motionless, paralized by fear. You are standing infront of death. Although you are terrified, you are willing to go. Your feelings are gone. There is nothing in this world left for you and that is why you are standing there. Shifting your weight forward you become engulfed in a weightlesness. You close your eyes wating for impact. Death attacks as you hit the ground taking your life in an instant.

Taking first step out of happiness and into reality. You have recieved new meaning on the word death. It seams like you have been re bourn into a world that you knew existed but never thought of untill now. This is the real world.

You might be incapable of finding a connection to this passage. If you are among the lucky few who are lost when they try to comprehend the true meaning in my words, then you should enjoy your ignorance. Life has done you a favor. Although if you dont fall into that category, then this piece might have conveyed some similar emotion to what you have experienced in the past. These were my feelings at first, but I have grown to realize that death is something that will never change. It is what makes us human. Understanding that we are just mere mortals, have to accept as truth, and live on. I dont know if anything could be more cruel, but it has to be.

Thinking About Thought

Thought is something that I can’t seem to figure out. What is it? Does it have a physical mass? Is it energy circumnavigating throughout my mind? How does it generate new thought from existing thought? During math tests, I try to think about my thinking. Sometimes I do it too much and forget how to think. When this happens, I sit there staring at the paper for thirty seconds, trying to regain mental capacities. I want to know the best, and most efficient way of thinking. When I read text out of my social studies book, I want to know if I can get the concept and all the information in it by looking at the text and trying to find the point of it. Or should I focus on the details in it. Either has it’s disadvantage. With my second most recent reading, I looked closely at the point of the reading, but didn’t quite look at the details as closely. I got an 89%, which is not satisfactory for my standards. An 89% is a B+, but on the report card, it shows up as a B. B means that you cant get a 4.0, and not getting a 4.0 means that, well there are a lot of things that not getting a perfect GPA means but they’re all not good. Sometimes I walk down the hall and wonder if the simple task of walking has millions of things that are lined up that makes walking possible. Or even trillions or sextillions of things that make your brain able to control your body to walk. If there are, then how much is there that we don’t know in our lives. If you were able to figure out every one of those things that fell into place that allowed you to walk, then what is really possible in this world? I have always thought of one math problem that could define our race and make up governments and spaceships and everything you could even think of perfectly. Can math create a utopia? My father, who took high levels of college math, told me that math is becoming a part of the business world. Mathematicians are creating formulas to go along with sales and other things. If math is capable of doing that, then what can it are taken to? Is there some formula that can interlink everything? Or is there some other thing that can link everything together. I am pretty sure that I can’t think of anything that could do that. Thinking about people who are smart, why isn’t that capable for everyone? Can we change how much we know? Did people like Da Vinci and Ben Franklin, two notably smart figures, already think about this and find out how to achieve it? I can’t seem to think about it enough. I can’t seem to think about thought without wondering all of these things. I think it is impossible to know or obtain all the knowledge in this world. So what is it worth trying to learn, because we will never get to the end of knowledge? To become successful in life is what a lot of people say. Can you become successful without a dime or fact of knowledge to your name? People have tried to answer that question and what they have come up with is that it is impossible. We should stick to our education because it will carry us through life. Is education really the most important thing that we should focus on in our lives? My thoughts tell me yes, but for everyone who says no, what is there for them to do? There might not be anything, and they are stranded in a Wall Mart scanning the can foods isle. Can you be successful in life by shier ambition, or desire? If a person is ambitious enough to stand on the corner of Cimbald and Mainstreet to sell lemonade for the entirety of their life, can they be successful? Can they develope a major corporation of lemonade? Would that be luck or just complete ambition? Now we’re coming down to the age old question of, if impossible is actually a word that witholds truth to it? Or is it just some made up word, created to keep all radical ideas and concepts from happening. Is that the purpose of the word, to keep people from achieving things that are so revolutionary that they would change the world in a quantum scale? What would happen if someone proved scientifically that my accuasations are true? What would the world look like if impossible was nothing? I think that we wouldn’t even be living on this planet any more. We would be able to live in conditions previously thought to be impossible to live in. People who liked to sleep could go to Pluto, because Pluto has no sun. People who liked the sun could move to the sun if they wanted. Or adventurers could just travel as far as they wanted into space. They could go so far that they could never turn back. They would see more things than we could possibly contemplate. Those people could start new civilizations that our solar system would never even know about. Think about that. The thought of being billions of light years away from earth, being all on your own. You would know that you could never see your family and friends ever again just so you could see what was out there. Everyone at home would consider you a legend for your brave act. They would never know what truly happens to you. If you die being sucked into a black whole, or if you reach the end of space. Is there an end to space? How would we know? But that person who dares go that far could never return. They would probably not even be able to find their way back. It would be like being lost in a never ending mall at the age of three. That would be assuming that it would be a nightmare to do that. Maybe it would be beautiful. Achieving what no man has come close to doing. I think think that it would be a quest only for the kind of person that is never satisfied with themselves or their lives. They always want to move into bigger and better things. Thats not who I am. I appreciate what I have and dont have any desire to change who I am, although I do have dreams of bigger things. Its just that that kind of quest would be something that would change your life. It wouldn’t be something for the faint hearted to attempt. My invisionment for myself if impossible was nothing would be to move to a sunny planet closer to the sun, where the climate would always be warm. I could take my family and friends with me and create new life. It would be my utopia. And since impossible doesn’t exist, utopia can finally be achievable. The perfect world. Of course I think I would end up abandoning the world that I created to let it grow and flourish. I would never want to be living in a perfect world for more than the time it takes for me to get used to it. I dont think its right having a perfect world. But all I know is that I want my life to be filled with unexpectedness, but I still want to have an idea as to whats going to happen around the corner. Life is what you make it, and I think that I can make something of myself in this world when I grow up into adulthood. There is so much opportunity in this world for someone to not do anything with their life. Even if you have to sell lemonade on the corner of the street to do something with yourself, life can still be rewarding, and fulfilling. It just takes some hard work, and maybe a little luck along the way into success. And another answer to, if we need education or not, to learn is to succeed.

Apples and Acorns Parable

There was once an apple tree that lived in an enormous orchard in the middle of the farmlands. There were thousands of trees that lived here, primarily apple trees. Where this particular apple tree lived was surrounded by other apple trees completely. Except there was always that Great Oak tree that was stationed close to the apple tree. Close enough to where they could have long conversations throughout the day, but still be heard by the rest of the surrounding neighbors. Everyone listened to these knowledge filled trees exchange humorous anecdotes, and heart-filled stories from their past lives in other places, far, far away. This apple tree that had made exceptional friends with the oak tree was neglecting all of his other friends that were all around him that he used to talk to. The oak tree had always been the quiet type, until this apple tree had started talking with him. And ever since then, the apple tree had not said a single word to his other friends. The other apple trees were getting to dislike him with every day he had gone ignoring them, and decided that they would leave him and the oak tree to talk all they wanted because they didn’t care anymore about their once best friend.

One stormy night in the middle of Autumn, there was a streak of light that could be seen from miles away by even the nasty old bushes that lived on the outskirts of the orchard. And even by the humans, who lived even further away in messy cities with coal burning cars and polution invading streets. They were nasty creatures with nothing but the word, greed in their tiny little sculls. But this streak of light, was one that would change an apple tree’s life forever. None of the other trees could see anything after the split second that the lightening had lasted. The rain and sleet covered everything. All of the trees closed their eyes and waited the terrible night out.

With morning came the sounds of shock from the trees around the orchard. Wispers were traveling like wild hornets throughout all of the trees. As soon as the apple tree that had made friends with the oak had woken up, he knew what had happened. A rumor had accidentally slithered into his ear, which only confirmed what had been in his head. He remembered seeing the lightening bolt last night that struck so loud that he thought it had hit the ground. The apple tree looked over to where his old friend was and saw in his place, a dead tree. What had happened, he already knew.

In this world you have no idea of what is going to happen to you or your friends, or even your family. Hold on to whatever you have, and cherrish every minute you spend with those special people. Good things never last. After that apple tree had no friends in the whole orchard. One day three years later, he saw a young yew tree starting to sprout in the place where his long time friend oak tree had once stood. A smile creased itself into his old wooden face.
