Sexuality

The six goals for the Constitution of the united states were;to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. This is not fulfilled in our current society. One definition of liberty from dictionary.com is freedom from control, interference, obligation, restriction,hampering conditions, etc.; power or right of doing, thinking,speaking, etc., according to choice. In some states homosexual people are still not allowed to marry who they choose. Same sex couples' choice to express their love through a union is not legally identified. How is this fair and just? They deserve to receive all the acceptance and privileges that a heterosexual couple would get. Homosexuality is not a disease and it's not something to be afraid of. So why isn't it nationally legal to have a gay marriage?

Happiness

I have been sad, angry, confused, and even indifferent, but the best way to be is happy. Happiness seems like it is unobtainable at times, but it's easier to do then you might think. Real happiness can make your whole body smile. Laugh for no reason. Have someone tell you a corny joke that you have heard so many times before that, but if you are happy, the real happy that makes you feel giddy and bubbly, you'll laugh like it's the funniest thing in the world. You should never feel guilty for being happy and it's the greatest gift to have to be able to make the people around you really smile and be happy. I strive to be happy every day so that I can live my life to the fullest.

Traumatizing

               I watched Battle Royale yesterday and it was one of the most traumatizing things that has ever happened to me. This movie is almost the Asian Hunger Games. It's about a class of students who are told to kill each other within three days and only one can survive. This is a similar plot line to The Hunger Games, but whenever I think about this movie my stomach starts to turn. In the series by Susan Collins, the tributes have lived with this barbaric tradition all their lives. They know the essence of what is going to happen in the arena and can prepare themselves mentally, but in Battle Royale, the students can't believe that something like this could really be happening to them. Some of them commit suicide, some of them start killing like mad men, some try not to kill, and some are just trying to find someone they trust. This disturbed me because these kids had grown up together. They had probably been in the same schools as each other for as long as they can remember, but they quickly resort to killing for self preservation. The worst part about it was that I started to wonder who I would be. Would I be the hunter or the prey?

Against Drugs

Where were you

                                                                                when I was all alone

                                                crying

Did you think

                                                about

                                                                                me

                                                                                the consequences

                                                                                yourself

Why didn’t you

                                                                                tell

                                                ANYONE

Do you notice

                                                                                how they stare

                                                at you

Everyone notices

                                                                                how you

                                                smell

                                                talk

                                                look

What were you

                                                                                thinking

                                                that night

Why did you call

                    the house

            in that state

                                                   ?

It scares

                                                Us all

          

                 I miss you

My Bed

I have two beds in my room. I sleep in one and the other is just sitting there, lonely.One day I thought to myself that it would be a great idea to rut these two twin beds together and make one fantastic king size bed. I told my parents about this brilliant idea and they said maybe, which is parent speak for no. Thankfully, I didn't know this at the time, so I kept on persisting and finally they said yes. After two years of waiting yesterday I got my new comforter. I jumped onto the smooth surface and bounced as my belly fell onto the mattress covered by the beautiful tree pattern.  I nuzzled my nose into the soft fabric that smelled like a far off place. The bed wrinkled as I lied there, blissfully grateful to my parents.

The Holiday Season

December is one of my favorite months in the year. It has everything, good food, beautiful snow, decorations, and songs. My birthday is also in  December. December is usually the first month to have snow. Snow is marvelous. It glides down to the ground and if there is enough, eventually a layer of snow collects, just big enough to make snowballs.  This delicate snow also can form on trees. Trees were dreary because they had lost all of their leaves,but when the soft white blanket of snow covers all the plants, it is transformed into a wonderland. December is the holiday season. It has Hanukkah and Christmas. In my neighborhood, there are extravagant lights on most of the houses. I find these lights entertaining and awesome. December is the most wonderful time of the year

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

I never understood why some people couldn't bake anything even with  a recipe until the day I tried making cinnamon muffins. A friend and I decided to bake and I really wanted cinnamon muffins so we took a recipe from online and started to cut the apples. I should have known that this wasn't going to work from the very start. We didn't have all the ingredients for the recipe so we had to call her house and we didn't have all the utensils needed to prepare those items. it wasn't working for us from the beginning. On the website it said that these were the amounts for a dozen muffins so we doubled everything. We put the chopped up apples into the mixer and realized that there was more apple than batter. Besides all of these hurdles we still tried to put the batter in the muffin cups, but there was too much so we filled it to the top. This was an AWFUL idea. We left the kitchen for a little bit to listen to some music, but when we came back, the oven was smoking and it smelled awful. We quickly took the muffins out and discovered what was burning. Some of the batter had overflowed and started to burn on the bottom and there was a layer of burnt muffin on the pan. Fortunately, the muffins still tasted pretty good. Unfortunately, the oven was ruined.
