This blog will have so many things in it that you will probably render pointless. Ayana and I needed a place to vent and discuss the realizations that come to us during our daily lives. We mean no offence to anyone in anything we say. If you are offended by something, please comment and let us know. Thanks!
So, I suppose I'll start with a little something I thought of while in the car yesterday, driving to dinner with my parents. My iPhone was playing a song by Cinema Bizarre, one of my current obsessions. I thought: Why does the cost necessities for people to live constantly go up? Of course, that got me thinking more. If those necessities came free, the people who supply them wouldn't have any profit whatsoever. It does cost a fair sum of money to, for example, grow corn. And to grow a massive amount of corn to ship to a supermarket would cost quite a bit. From this, I concluded that life itself is about supply, demand, and profit. Am I right? But what about the people who can't afford to eat? That's why we have those places where we donate a can of food (every school does it, don't lie to me) come in. Because of other people's donations, the less fortunate can eat. So kindness can save a life. That's definitely a thought I liked.
Everyone seems to be talking about Mel Gibson. My mom is watching ET right now.My, my. Such insanity. I don't see where violence comes in to anything; in life in general, I mean. Why do men have to hit women. Or children. Or even women hitting men and children. I've heard of that happening, too. Do people get into such a rage that the anger cannot be held in and the just have to let in out in such a way? Why not use a stress ball? If only the world was that simple. Human emotions are fascinating like that. So extreme, yet not, at the same time.
In my town, middle-school is 7th and 8th grade. This August, I'll be starting 7th grade. I have no idea what I can expect, aside from what I've heard. But who can judge anything that people say? I know something else, though. I have to go to CCD, or religious ed. I heard (word of mouth again...) that we have a retreat next year, but I'm not sure. During the two-day retreat, you can only have a change of clothes, a toothbrush, and your Bible. No homework. The middle school is known for weekend homework (according to a freshman my mom talked to), so how on Earth are we supposed to do it? Do you fail because of a religious obligation? Death in the family can't even get you out of the retreat. I don't know what to think here, so I'll just remain impartial, I suppose.
Enough of me now. Go do something productive and make your day a great one.
XoXo,
Maria
