Alice in Wonderland

Hello everyone. Sorry it takes me so long to post something, but the weekend is the best time to post, especially since we all got PLENTY of time.

I probably think most of my audience knows or has heard of Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll's imaginary land where animals, plants, and cards can talk is a great place to find yourself in. Especially once you fall into the rabbit hole. 

In anycase, this book contains lots 'literary nonsense' as in, things don't make sense and aren't possible in the real world. I really like the world he has created, although centered on little Alice, she goes through these places somewhat believing what she is seeing. Then at the end of the book the audience finds out it's all a dream...yadi yadi yada. But really, while in Wonderland, we are greeted with smart and witty characters, anger filled actions, and some un-real situations. It's a great world to be lost in, except for when your path crosses with the Red Queen's... let's just say you'd want to hold on tight to your head.

Alice in Wonderland is this years' drama production for my school, and I am ecstatic to say that I will be part of it. I cannot wait to see how we will manage to pull of the disappearing Cheshire Cat and its big smile, plus the wacky Mad Hatter. All of Wonderland will be an adventure in itself to portray in a school auditorium. I am very excited to be part of this and watch Wonderland unveil itself in front of my own eyes.

Hunger Games Trilogy

I'm sure lots of you guys are familiar with "The Hunger Games Trilogy" by Suzanne Collins. If you aren't you should check them out.

I really liked Suzanne Collins' idea with how North America was split into 13 Districts and a main capital (Capitol). This is a post apocalyptic world where the 'government' is autocratic. As in the Capitol has EVERYTHING and the rest of the districts vary from states of poor and fine. And every year 2 teens (boy, girl) from ages 12-18 from every District are picked to play in the Hunger Games where there can be only one victor. The rest face certain death. 

I also liked the characters Suzanne wrote up. You have sensitive, to true leader, kind to pure anger. I like the varying states in these people. 

And I have to say "Hunger Games" kicked major butt! "Catching Fire" was intriguing. "Mockingjay" was disappointing. It was disappointing because it seemed to me that Suzanne Collins wrote the book really fast. She didn't really give the audience a concrete ending.

I am writing a fan fiction from one of a 'dead' characters' point of view, because I was REALLY UNSATISFIED as to how this character's ending came to be.

SNOW DAY!

I know this is super random but all the schools have been closed due to huge winter storm. And you know what that means... SNOW DAY!! Yes, a day where you are snowed in and when it usually takes you 20 minutes to get there by car, it will probably take someone and hour or two.

That's the beauty of it all. Just staying at home doing nothing... In my case, finishing homework. I'm such a bad girl I know, but hey, homework won't make itself... sadly...

In any case... Enjoy snow days. Because there aren't a lot of them where all schools will close down due to the snowy weather.

This has been my second snow day ever!! And I'm loving every minute of it!!

Half of Your Whole

A couple of days ago, I was having this very interesting conversation with this kid from my school. It was about 'the half of your whole'. I mean, when someone thinks of half of their whole, they might have a lover in mind. However what I think, considering re-incarnations are true, the half of someone's whole will always be the same person and constant throughout all those lifetimes.

I was telling another friend about this yesterday and she said that this person doesn't have to be your lover. And I definitely agreed with her since throughout lifetimes we change who we are. So in one lifetime, they might be your lover, in another, your sibling, in another, your friend, in another one of your parents. Re-incarnations are infinite and people aren't the same person twice. The things they do, shape the person they will become in the next. But this 'half of your whole' will be the same soul, just as you are the same soul for them.

I find this sort of interesting. The whole concept of having one soul constant throughout all your own lifetimes is very interesting. And I like the sounds of it. At least someone isn't a stranger. 

So what do you guys think? Post a comment on your ideas if you feel comfortable doing so.

Nutella

Ok, so people, here is a MARVELOUS invention of the new world... NUTELLA. 

I was having a late night conversation when my stomach started rumbling and so I put the convo on hold and went to get something to eat. The fridge was kinda empty and then I saw... Drumroll please... NUTELLA. I mean, who doesn't LOVE Nutella? It's all chocolatey goodness which you can eat with pretty much anything. Like topping a crepe, eating it with the spoon, spreading Nutella on bread. Just talking about it makes me hungry -salivates-.

Enough about this topic. Imma go to kitchen and eat some now.

The New Year and The Year Afterward

Happy New Year everyone.

Though I am 14 days late, that's ok. It's never to late to wish someone a happy birthday... maybe I'm early for next year.

So, for the holidays I went on a trip to Mexico, BY CAR! And we went through various states.
In order: Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennesse, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas and then the various areas in Mexico, which I have no idea of what they are called. But I'mdefinitely not telling you where I come from ;).

In anycase, the radio receptions changed over time and the car received different radio stations. While we were in Texas (they be one Christian obsessed state) there was a station that talked about various things.

And one of them was that the 'end of the world' is going to be on May 21, 2011.
How odd no?!
I mean, isn't it supposed to be DECEMBER 21, 2012.
Then when I get back home, my mother tells me another time, November 21, 2011.

I do not understand the reasoning to so many 'ends of the world'. There's been a theory in the new millenuim and then before that.
I mean, if the end of the world did come, then why the fudge muffin do WE KNOW IT'S COMING!
Isn't it supposed to be like a... SURPRISE to everyone, when one day you wake up and you get burned to death due to an atomic bomb or something like that.

Revelations had said that the world will not get over the year 3000, so ANYTIME in THAT TIME of one more millenium, the world can end. And who are we, HUMANS, to say that we KNOW when the end of the world is coming. The only BEING (see how I didn't refer to it as HUMAN) is the thing that created this world. If it is a being for that matter of fact.

So the end will NOT be May 21, November 21, 2011 or DECEMBER 21, 2012.
NO!

Ok so, the planets WILL be aligned on that day in December next year. But who says that the gravitational forces will unleash the end. It is true that natural disasters will happen and all that other crap, but humanity will still be going on and about after the disasters will take place.

Sigh.

Like I said, one day you will wake up... not in your physical body but your soul.

This is a mind-boggling world if you ask me.

Something We All Know

"Love is meant to destroy."

This is one quote I can tell you, makes the most perfect sense. Because it's true.

I've had friends tell me they are in love. And it made me wonder... what is this feeling they are experiencing? However now, I'm afraid to know. Because some friends got their heart broken, and nothing can repair it anymore.

This quote is somehow scary. Putting it all blunt and on the page. But really... it's true.

Love is meant to destroy. If you love someone so much and they tell you they love you, you believe them. Then after a while things start going downhill you know? That boy you love doesn't love you back. And what do you do when you can't do anything? You just sit there all by yourself feeling this heart of yours crack.

Personally, I've never had this happen to me. So maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but that's left for you to decide.

Horror Movies

Have you always wondered why horror movies are so pathetic?

Well, let's see:
-The people never close their doors, and the killer always gets throught the back door
-When someone's in the shower, they are sure to get killed
-The blond is always the one who is the main character
-She always has a boyfriend who has some connection with the killer
-Parents are always bad people
-The main character's friends die one by one
-They never end up killing the killer because sequel over sequels are re-made
-When there's a freaking demon in your room, you always get the camera to film it without even turning on the light
-THE BEDROOM DOOR IS FREAKING OPEN
-Never, EVER look into your pill cabinet, the freaking killer is RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

And there's many more I bet. The thing is that there is nothing original about horror movies except the killer who has been written up in the 90's or late 80's. There's no more inspiration. People are re-making horror movies because the technology is better. BUT GUESS WHAT?! The older versions are WAY better than the new ones, becuase the new one's are always exaggerated. It's sad really.

So next time you watch a horror movie, don't forget to laugh at the patheticness of it ;)

Time dun-Dun-DUNN

It's funny when you think of it that we are all following some random numbers on the clock. That lead to days, which lead to months, and then years.

TIME is something human beings created. It was not intended to be classified. It was just meant to be there.

Oh but no.

Because we are so superior and AWESOME (-.-") we have to classify the way the sun moves around the planet. Categorizing it in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, centuries, millenia.

YAY US!

Have you ever wondered why every 4 FREAKING YEARS we have an extra day during the month of February? The reason is that technically a year isn't a whole number. Instead of 365 days... it's actually 365.25 DAYS!! :O
Shocking, isn't it?
And so, we only add that number every four years and end up making up an extra day.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Time... is... something that runs in a straight line. At least that's what scientists think. So imagine if there actually were TIME TRAVELERS! Imagine the look on sciencetists faces. THEY WERE WRONG!

Is time really a starightforward line? Or is it something that runs in parallel or PERPENICULARLY to another timeline?

This world of ours is very... how should I put it... MIND BOGGLING?
Indeed.

Into The Future~

Since the thousands of years we, human beings, have lived (since they started counting the years) they have come upon major discoveries and life threatening events.

Examples of Major Discoveries:
-Blah Blah Blah discovering America (I think we all know the answer)
-The discovery of the mind
-The way dreams are classified
-Cures for diseases like leukemia and even the common cold
-The fact that dinosaurs once ruled the Earth
-Usage of fossil fuels
-Technology
-GOOGLE!!
-Reasoning behind natural disasters
etc.

Examples of Life Threatening Events:
-Tsunamis
-Ice Age
-Earthquakes
-Landslides
-Plagues
-Floods
-Massacres
-Intended accidents (yes, yes, 9-11 *rolls eyes*)
-Wars

We are currently in the year 2010 (as humans like to call it DUN DUN DUNNN). People are wondering "Where's my jetpack?" or "Where are those floating cars from The Fifth Element?" Well, you should first learn to appreciate the feats that humankind has done in recent years. Something new is discovered at least every year. Sooner or later though, we will deplete this planet of its resources... so really... does it matter where your jetpack is if your own planet is dying? I think not.

At least concentrate of the matters at hand. We should donate resources to the countries in most need of them. We take too many things for granted (no kidding). So who exactly should we be giving to? The people of Africa, the poor of Asia, the homeless of THE WORLD. 

Are we doing good by only thinking ME? No. You should be thinking WE, for we are all the same and we share the same planet.
