Reasons to do Things

There are many reasons for people to do things. I do things without thinking, because I can and want to, out of spite, or sometimes I do things because people say "please." What I dislike is when my arm is twisted or my feelings manipulated into doing something I wouldn't usually do. Oedipus, Creon, and Antigone all had these problems which gives them an even greater human persona. Instead of just showing their divine and righteous way of life.

Rush in Rio

I wish I was at this concert I am currently watching on VH1 Classics because it seems that if I were only there I could feed of the excitement and other feeling of the crowed and become completely and utterly consumed in every feeling swirly around me. I especially love the expressions of every single one of band members including the drummer. The expression was one of pure ecstasy and joy like the most climatic moment in any sensual experience. If that was fake then bravo! If it was exactly how it appeared then i could truly say congratulations for finding something in life that can make you feel that way. The fact that the could make other people feel same should make them even happier. I know that you are not supposed to covet what another person has, but when I kept seeing that I wanted that feeling. Now all I need to do is find away to achieve that. I doubt it will happen this year, but when it does I will post a blog about it.

"You don't say that out loud."

That was a beautiful quote coming from one of our presidential nominees, Jon McCain. The debate seemed unheated and there was a lot of "that is not what I said." There was also a lot of agreement. I did not noticed to much back and forth which is what a debate should be, well that is what my idea of a debate is.

I agree that you can learn from the past, but the past is the past so it should stay that way especially when it is irrelevant to the current situation. It seems that John McCain has forgot about that and the fact that name dropping (should) mean nothing.

The part about the bracelets was interesting though. Barack Obama had a good comeback to that one and didn't McCain talk about receiving a bracelet at the Republican convention.

Overall I was not completely consumed by this debate except for the fact that the host/ mediator kept getting cut off by the two of them. If that was that I was paying attention to then that says a  very sad thing about my character.

I would also like to know if we have nuclear weapons because I am pretty sure we do, but we still think that no one else can have them without trying to use them. That is very interesting if it is true, but I do understand that some countries are making them to use them.

And I must apologize to Mr. Thompson for posting such a disorganized blog.

You Oedipus

All of the hackneyed phrases used in our culture really goes over my head. A lot of the sayings do not make any sense. Like "close, but no cigar." What were those people doing when they made that up? Some titles that are derived from derogatory meanings are wrong too. Like peon and brown nosesr. If you were to sit for a while and think about what those could mean your mind might wonder into a very pessimistic place. Well I just wanted to post a blog about this because it was on my mind, because that is what blogs are for right..?

Ismene says...

Ismene is the perfect example of a little sister. She is not completely free thinking and tends to follow what her sister Antigone does. So when Antigone comes up with the idea to give their brother Polynieces some sort of burial Ismene was quick to say, "But, Antigone, if things have gone that far what can I do? How could I possibly help?" Ismene was willing to believe in whatever the majority of people was telling her and because she was willing to believe them she limited herself when it came to what she thought she could do.

One Awesome Commercial

I that this was just the cutest thing ever when I this. And I must say that this is one of the best commercials ever. When I see commercials I normally laugh, then complain about how long they are, but as soon as I saw this I loved it. No one ever wants to be the odd one out all the time so it is great when you can let loose and go crazy with your friends. People feel like they can do anything when they are with a few of their good friends. At least I think I can, because I feel like I can jump up and dance a jig with my friends too. Anyway I just wanted post this to remind everyone why you should appreciate every friend you have ever had. This commercial completely brightened up my day.

When to Say I love You

" I love you" can be considered a hackneyed phrase, but never the less people are keen in using it. There is no limit to how many times you can say "I love you," unless you are purely saying it just to say it. If you do love someone then shout it out. Say it every single second of the day in the same that the farm boy said it to Princess Buttercup(if you have seen the Princess Bride you would understand that). Change your voice if you are trying to show your passion behind you words and if they love you too then your loved one will understand completely. A person does not even need to physically need to use those words. A simple hand of the small of her back( I adore using that phrase) or even a speacial glance shared between you and your loved one. Anything and everything is fine because love does not lose its value when you do not say it enough or if you say it to much. Love loses its value when there was no meaning to it in the first place.

That was for you Mr. Miclette. And I hope by reading this people do not begin to think that I am a hopeless romantic because I really am not. Although, I am not pessimistic on the subject I not completely head over heels(even though you head is always over you heels) for it either.
