Public school vs charter school

Public schools are just horrible and the school board of education really needs to get their crap together. Obviously I'm with the charter side because I have personal experience with one and think its great. There are hardly any bulling against other, as in public schools people are too brutal and the teachers could care less about you. I got strong depression when I was in a public school and I had suicidal thoughts because of all the things people said to me. There was no freedom. Now at a charter school they are really nice and everyone is treated like adults and with respect. In the public school, I was teased and made fun of for reading my bible and now I read it at the school I'm at. Please take into consideration of how you could be ruining your child's life by putting them in a public school. The only people that has ever enjoyed public schools were the populars that thrived in the environment of hurting people.

Snow

"Let it snow, let it snow, let it NO!" I hate the snow. Sure it looks pretty when a big white blanket falls down ands its undisturbed and still sparkling, but it means winter. Its so cold and brings a whole new meaning to "Jack Frost nipping at your nose". I'm the kind of person who likes the heat and summer and most of all, flip flops. The snow puts an end to it all and I just hate wearing actual shoes because its like suffocating your feet and when you get an itch you have to take your shoes and socks off for one little scratch. Plus I live in Michigan which is legendary for its harsh winters. Its nice and surprising that  this year though it hasn't even snowed or gotten that much cold and its almost christmas. But snow is beautiful, but more so when you look at snowflakes very closely. Kinda cool how they all look different and yet they stiff find a way to be unique.

The 80's

I know that we are in the 2000's, but the 80's is the base of my childhood even though I grew up in the 2000's. We listened to 80's music, I played with rock em sock em toys, I loved all of the cool popping colors they had, and most of all I had the original/old Nintendo with mario. Thats sort of how I grew up as a 80's kid in a way and I still like all of the old music because of being exposed to it as a child. Its anything from the 90's to the 60's I love it and now a days with all of the new weird music people listen to my age is just annoying, plus I don't know more than half of the people/bands. I wish that I was born in the 80's because it was such a cool and revolutionary time for people. All of the original toys came out that were the best toys in the world that people still use today. The computer even came out in that era. And
Michael Jackson was and still is the most effective person in music from that time. With his all time hit song getting millions of records sold, no one has ever been able to beat that and was put in the Guinness World Records and still holds that record today. Now thats what I call Awesome!

McDonalds and how there food is bad for you

Mcdonalds is a very well known fast food restaurant and very American. You probably went there at one point or another to buy food for yourself or a happy meal for your kids. You may have heard many times from people that they are unhealthy and their food is gross, but they don't tell you what is actually in the "food". The "meat" that they use for the burgers is only 5% meat and that 5% is not even beef. What they do to create the patty is they use something called "pink slime" that is man made and comes out of a tube in a factory that workers put in a box to ship to fast food restaurants to be shaped into a patty. That 5% meat that I told you about comes from the sticky and spongy fat and tissue that is stuck to the animals bones that is pried off of the bone. Thus, that tasty fast food big mac that you have been looking forward to all weekend. When they are formed into patties, cooked, and frozen for shipping, they re-cook them and dip them into a blue solution to affect the taste of the "meat". This blue solution affects the brain into remembering that taste and affecting your brain into wanting more of it. It makes your brain crave it, even if you don't want to.

There fries are salty, greasy goodness in a bag right? Wrong! Most of the time they are undercooked and barley filled to the top of the cup so Mcdonalds can save an extra buck. The fries don't mold from too much preservatives. Thats right, it doesn't mold! EWWWWW!!!!!  This sicks me out more than the pink slime because potatoes (such in the form as a fry) are supposed to mold. Wendy's fries mold after about three days. If you don't believe what I say about them not molding, then you can try it yourself. Keep a Mcdonalds fry in a ziploc baggy or container of a sort and keep it to see if it molds. I did this test myself and I kept it for four years without it molding, but one of my parents accidentally threw it out, So I couldn't keep on the investigation.

A few of my favorite bible verses

One of my most favorite bible verses is Matthew 8:20. In it it says, "Jesus replied, 'Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the son of man has no place to lay his head'"
Even though Jesus was the son of the lord and was such a powerful man, he had no home to rest in. To me that says that no matter who you are we are all the same and can end up the same way without a bed. Even with no bed, he was not upset by this from his great faith to his father and that seems to be a little righteous to love and be giving even when you have nothing. As Jesus said this to his followers, he was letting them know that if they were to continue following him that they would have no place to rest their heads either, for Jesus doesn't. 
Another that I find to be a very good verse is Matthew 7:17-20.17 "Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them." Because it says that like a tree, a person can't be good and have a bad heart disguised by a good one. And bad people can't be good and can't be changed and will be recognised by how their true personality and will always truly be bad and can not be good hearted. 

There are some other verses that I also like, but I will share with you later.

The Eyeball


The color in the iris is made up of different fibers with chemicals that produce the color of your eye that you inherited from your parents. Only 1% of humans actually have a green eye color, but that is still about forty million people. The pupil is a hole in the eye that leads to the lens and is protected by our cornia. Blood vessels run through the optic nerve that connects to the eye socket. If it were not for the eye socket being attached to the skull in a certain way, then your eyes would constantly be falling out of your head from gravity. Kinda weird, huh? 
Other than the actual facts that I just shared with you on here, there are a lot of body language that has a lot to do with our eyes. Our eyes can say a lot about how we feel to other people around us and we use them to communicate all the time. Narrowing our eyes shows that we are rebellious, angry, or ready to fight. When our pupils dilate, it means we like what see, being scared, and seeing someone you like or think is attractive. Having our eyes open slightly wide shows interest in what someone is saying. We all know that when we roll our eyes it shows disbelief and annoyance. We all want to look someone in the eye because it shows respect to the person you are talking to. Even animals do this. When for example a pet looks you in the eye its them showing you that they respect you and like you.

Thanksgiving at my house

I'm glad to know that Halloween is over and am ready to begin the important holidays worth celebrating with my family. To me halloween is for little kids to go and trick or treat in cute costumes and then gorge the their candy when the get home. I used to get such bad stomach aches when I was little because of how much candy I could eat in a hour.  Now Thanksgiving is coming up and that also means "Black Friday" and all the parents rushing around stores for great deals for when Christmas comes. This year black friday starts earlier than ever and that means that my family is eating thanksgiving turkey and apple pie for lunch. I never go out with the rest of, well everybody because I like to spend time at home with my dad. Every year when the whole family goes shopping, I stay at home with my dad and we watch movies while eating triscuits. A weird snack to eat during a movie, its a tradition I suppose. I usually don't get very far in the movie because my dad falls asleep into about half an hour into any movie you put in front of him, but still its fun to bond with him just being there. Anyway, the actual thanksgiving at my house is always relatively the same. We invite my close family on my mom's side and they come over, we start talking while the food is still being prepared and cooked, crack some jokes, and get to the the eating. It feels like every year we forget to go around the table and say what we are thankful for until I mention it. I feel that its very important to say what we are all thankful for in our lives and to realize what the meaning of life itself is about. And every year for thanksgiving me and my mom make from scratch an apple pie that we eat for a desert. A remember from when I was little, I would love to bake it with her and I still do and how we nibble the thinly sliced apples from the bowl, covered in a cinnamon sugar concoction. Its so good. All in all our family time is pretty peaceful and yet still very exciting at our get togethers.

Finger nails

This may be odd to my readers at first that I'm writing about finger nails, but I like to learn about the body and I want to share about what I know about the different parts. For now on I will also be writing about the things in our body and the functions and facts about them. I find it fun to learn about and hope you do too.
Obviously by the title, this post is about our finger nails. Your nails are important for what we do in life by being able to pick things and to keep the tips of our fingers healthy. It takes about six months for our nails to grow from base to tip. Thats a long time. But most of our finger nails have dead cells in them because the only part of our nails that are living are in the white have circle at the base of our nails. That is also where more cells are produced and are pushed to the front (tip) of the nail. Your nails never stop growing and when it is growing the base of the nail produces new cells that push the existing cells across like a plank to the end of the nail.  So thats how they form initially. When they split and crack at the tip of the nail and get thin and sharp, (this happens to me a lot) that means you lack certain vitamins in your body. Such as Biotin can help with this very well that also help with your skin and nails.

Sometimes putting certain nail polishes on can help nails restore nails and protect the nails from the elements of the world for the most part. Plus its pretty, but getting your nails a manicure at a beauty parlor/salon ruins your nails, cause great pain, and be bad for your health. The toxic chemicals they use for your nails can disintegrate your nails and stop further cell reproduction in the nails. It may be pretty, but is it worth it no longer having nails after a certain amount of time of getting them done and having pain? I think not, but many people will get fake nails and tell me I'm crazy, but really its not worth your money to me and its cheaper to do the same thing yourself.

"If I believe in myself, I can do anything I set my mind to"-Why this saying is false

The saying "If I believe in myself, I can do anything that I set my mind to" I believe this is not at all true. People will tell you that I'm the one thats wrong and that you can do anything in the world as long as you try hard enough. The reason its not true is because God has a plan and opportunity for everybody that he has given us to do. For example, I suck at math. I find it hard and I will never understand it. God just didn't give me that skill in my life, but hes given me others to embrace and to embark on. I love to help people and God gave me the caring qualities that makes me love others and want to help. But I will never be a mathematician, chemist, or a bodybuilder and things like that. I will embrace what I can and can not do and I know that I and everyone can't do everything in the world no matter what.

Squirrels with their nuts

Its fall and that means all animals are stocking up on supplies for the winter. Some animals get fat and sleep the whole time and others like the squirrel have to gather food. Every Time I'm riding in my car, I see a few squirrels running this way and that way with nuts in there mouth and barring them. But since all these cute squirrels keep running to find nuts, they dart into the road more often and get hit by a car. I always feel bad for the squirrels when I see them dead. You would think that they would learn from all of the times there ancestors died from darting across the road at the wrong time. There is one squirrel that lives near my library that grabs the nut, runs up the telephone poll and across the line, and hops on the tree to his den. Thats the only smart squirrel I've seen.

Did you know: Every year there at least one thousand new trees that sprout from squirrels forgetting where they left their nuts in the winter?

Holidays

Any holiday can be stressful and a lot of work to celebrate, but its worth it to spend time with family. Some holidays are pointless to celebrate, but are still fun too. I think we all need to know the true meaning of some holidays because its important to know. Christmas and Easter are both religious holidays and thanksgiving is when the pilgrims came. Christmas is about Jesus's birthday and not a fat santa giving children gifts. He was born and was giving gifts to celebrate the birth of the messiah. Thats why we still give and receive gifts today. Easter is when Jesus rose from the grave/dead and went to heaven and died for our sins.

It can be fun to dress up for Halloween, eat at Thanksgiving, give and receive gifts during Christmas, and tell that special someone you love them at Valentines day, but the holidays are about sharing that fun time with your family and friends and knowing the true value of them.

I think that the best time of the holidays are the day after sales. I always love to get to the stores at midnight and wait until they open to get the things I've been wanting the whole season for half off. It feels great to know you can get a great deal on a great item. I usually end up with a bunch of spa stuff or chocolate or swiss miss. Although it is tiring to do all of that shopping, I love spending time with my mom and other family when doing so.

Shopping

I've never been one to love or even like the action of shopping for clothes and shoes. It can be nice to get clothes, but shopping can be tiring. For example, you plan to go to a store to find some formal shoes for a party. It takes forever to find the right cute pair and then when you try them on they don't fit right or the material scratches you and it just doesn't end up working out with that pair like you thought. So, off to the next store and the next and the next and the next and you come across the star pair. It looks great, but when you go to find the box, your size is all gone. Then I get cranky and leave to go home empty handed. So as you read, shopping can be very stressful. Don't even get me started on swimsuits. Stores are so big with little time to investigate them all. But the type of shopping where I don't have to constantly try on and complain about is grocery shopping.

Marriage

Marriage is very important and should be respected by following the rules before it and during it. Many people might tell you that marriage is not important because its just a piece of paper or that you are just going to end up divorced anyway, so why even bother. That is not true, but feel free to think what you want. Marriage is about showing your love for someone in a deep way and you want to be with them truly forever until death do you part. Being happy with the person you love through the good and the bad. In my religion and my heart, people need to remain a virgin until marriage. To some this may seem impossible to do, but its not right to do because what if you have sex with someone you thought you knew and then more times than not, they break your heart. Its just not worth it. If you truly love and respect someone, you will wait to see the real them and get married.

CPR

Now my dad is a tall guy, about six foot something. So, therefore he needs to eat more than the average, but everytime he eats he chokes. There is not one meal he eats without the sound of a dying cat going through his lips and hacking up a lung. We all laugh at him at the dinner table and he gets a bright tomato face. It takes him a few minutes to get the food out, but he lives. Never a too serious form of choking to "death". He was in a stage 1 CPR.

 CPR is divided up into 3 stages. Stage 1 is just choking out the food and getting it unstuck from the windpipe and your fine. Stage 2 is when things are serious. After someone can't get the food out or talk/cough then someone who is CPR certified needs to give them the heimlich maneuver to get it out. Stage 3 is the most dangerous level of choking for assistance. It means that the person is unconscious and not breathing. You have to give them mouth to mouth resuscitation and give them chest pumps in intervals until the ambulance comes to take over.

Believe me, CPR is more important than you think. It will save lives and you will never know when you may need that knowledge. I know that I'm sure glad my mom knew CPR. A couple of years ago, I was choking on a cough drop (ironically) and was clenching my throat and couldn't breath. My mom ran over to me and gave me the heimlich and with one squeeze the cough drop was evacuated.
