Wierd Weekend/Did Stuff?!

    During my weekend (November 22-24 of 2013) I had something odd happen to me. I discovered that I love the song, Viva la Vida by Coldplay, a lot. I was listening to the song when I was in bed at about 12:00 in the morning, during this time I was really tired and really bored. I sat my laptop next to me and listened to a song that my teacher played during the beginning of class. I began to tear up. I had this song on a low volume and I had this song on a 12 hour loop, and I eventually fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, at about 6 am, I had some need to do stuff. Not just stuff that I do not do often enough like take ashower or study, but i wanted to blow the leaves off the lawn, do laundry, clean my room. I literally could not think of why I wanted to do all this. The only explanation that I could come up with was that the song was so good that I just wanted to get up and do stuff.

Fight for My Right...

I do not like getting too philisophical with questions like," What would you fight, or die, for?", but I guess that ifI were to fight for something, I would fight formy right to "derp". Let me explain, I would fight for my right to mess up or make a really stupid accident/derp every once in a while without being overly criticized for doing so. If that were the case, I would be forced to live in a world where everyone, and everything, was perfect and never did anything accept the right thing. Life could get really boring and dull without someone slipping and hitting their face on the ground, or soneone leaves their computer bag on an airplane. It is things like that that make the world fun and unique in my opinion, someone messes up, people laugh about it and they people go on to laugh at someone else.

Pirate or Ninja?

    I would much rather be a ninja for a day, possibly because I like them ore by a million times. Being a ninja would allow me to easily sneak up on people. Also, as a ninja I have a lot more freedom, if I was a pirate I would mostly be confined to the sea and on my ship. A piratte is nothing without his crew, while being a ninja, I do not have to worry about my crew holdingme back.
    Also being a ninja, I could wear a sweet looking outfit, concealing my identity, allowingmeto do whatever I wanted without any consequences. I also get cooler weapons than pirates. Pirates get thingslike swords and huge cannons that are only affective on the ship itself, while ninjas have shurikens, kunai blades, swords, nunchucks, and a lot of other sweet stuff.

Useful Technologies: Video Games

   Technology is not just a recreation, or a distraction, it is used to help people in many different ways.
   One of the things that I can explain it's uses for the easiest are video games. My parents have tried to keep me from playing video games, they believe that playing video games like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto will lead me to a life of crime and murder, but just because there a violent elements in video games does not mean that people are going to do it, it can be used to help people.
   One of the many things that people use video games for are for stress relief. If you just get off of a hard day at work, you hate your boss and you wish you could just strangle him, do not just waste the rest of the day feeling sorry for yourself. Instead, play a couple hours on a happy game like Pokémon or Mario. These games are not all that difficult, but they are fun and can take your mind off of the difficulties of life.
   There is another reason that many people overlook when judging what a video game does for someone, some video games help some of your senses. There are video games out there that have so much going on on the screen that you are forced to focus on certain things. One game, for example, called Geometry Wars Evolved 2. This game has small shapes flying towards your ship while you shoot at them, and when you shoot them, many rainbow colored explosions appear on-screen. About 5 minutes into a single session, there is so much going on and an enemy at every corner, forcing you to quickly think about what to do and get out of sticky situations like those.
