It's human 'NATURE'!!

What is up with the world today?

People who are more earthly experienced think that our generation does not appreciate nature today. Well, they are right! As a whole, we don't appriciate nature to an extend. However I feel it is not our fault. Babyboomers, I blame you! With all the media and scandals going around, older adults  find it easy to say we are inexperienced with Mother Nature. However, if they made more of a concious effort to share the beauty of the earth instead of waiting until there is a global problem, maybe we may find nature more appealing. We might even go out and experience nature without being told to. This is how today's generation sees nature:

Personally, I love meditating early in the morning with cold, crisp air to fill my lungs. I don't get to go out in the woods as often as I'd like to anymore, but if all anyone sees from people is the problem with pollution, global warming, etc. how do you expect us to actually love the earth. I love spring time because I was born on the spring equinox. I feel it's just in me. This is how I see nature... when I close my eyes:

I Bite My Thumb at Thee...

Who's to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet?

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, two teenage lovers end up dead, along with other characters.

There is no specific person to blame for the deaths, however everyone has their own oppinions. The one to blame, for me, is Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence is a holy man in the small city of Verona. I blame him because he is the one who weds Romeo and Juliet, knowing they are from rival familes. It is apparent that in those days, sometimes an arranged marriage would take place to end feuds. Unfortunately that is not the case. Their families did not know Juliet would marry Romeo. Among other things, the friar tells Romeo one thing and Juliet another in regard to how messages would be passed between the two when Romeo gets banished from Verona. It seems Friar Lawrence is more interested in cleaning up his own mess to benefit himself as oppose to helping the "star-crossed lovers."

♥♪The Closer I Get To You♪♥

♪♪Luther Vandross | The Closer I Get To You♪♪

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me
Over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
Lying here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more
Let's give love a try
Sweeter than sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts in love will find
True love
In a special way
The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me what you've got
Your love has captured me
Over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew this was real (got to be real)
The way you make me feel (you know)
My baby, my baby, my baby, my love
Come a little closer so we can see into the eyes of love
Just a little a closer let me speak to you
I wanna tell you something
Here I am-- I just want you to come closer
Come a little closer let me whisper in your ear
‘Cause I wanna tell you something
Move a little a little closer we can say for real
The way we feel about each other’s lovin’…

I feel this is a great love song. It expresses two different types of love. One between friends and a hidden desire, like the secret passion of Romeo and Juliet. They both know how they feel and how the other feels, but do not know whether or not they could ever be anything more than what they are. By saying "your love has captured me", it's like the song is expressing how love can take a toll on a person's life. We all know love isn't an actual person. However, you can decribe love as a force and this force is strong enough to overwhelm you.

Life is interesting a girl's mind

                                                Let me take it back for you, so we all can rewind

Look at him

                                                 Look at her

He gets on my nerves

                                                But I still like her

I'm drawn to him now like a canvas

                                                I can't find a way to tell her how

He's got me falling

                                               Oh wait, now she's calling

Hello?...

                                              ...Hello?

Hey

                                              Hi

So, what cha doin'?

                                       Nothing, just chilling

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I shouldn't like this boy

                                   Maybe she's just a coy

See him on most days

                                 If I could only have my way

Now the other one is out of the way

                                Used to think about her all the time

Oh well, he still isn't mine

                               My mind's here and there

Ha! He's not thinking of me

                               One day we will be

Why not now?

                              My head is up in the clouds

I'm still looking at him

                            Along with others, I can see her

Still wondering...

☺To Be...&...Not to Be☻

Apparently the existance of a paradox is a natural phenomenon. A paradox also make a person who they are, personality wise.

☺I'm very strong and I know who I am.

☻I can  get as confused as a blind bat with no sonar, but no one will ever be able to tell

☺Some would say I can even appear to be mean or emotionless

☻I probably have as much emotions as a little girl. But I can turn them off as easily as they come on

☺Believe it or not, I'm pretty well tamed during the day

☻During the night, all the rules are out and I'm as free as a vampire

☺I can put up a good arguement and I the little negative things people say, even if they're joking don't phase me one bit

☻I am VERY passive aggressive and I WILL always get you back as bad or annoyingly as I now how.

☺I think about people more than other people might. I always want to help and I am an extremely caring person

☻Whenever I want, I can put on my mean face and try to hurt you psycologically, but thats only to help you figure a situation out believe it or not.

Okay kids it's time for some questions and answers. This semeter we are reading Romeo and Juliet, a play by William Shakespeare. Our teacher posted some questions pertaining to the situations in the play and wants us to honestly answer one of them. I choose to answer more.

▬Does rage lead to tragedy?

In my oppinion, rage most certainly lead to tragedy. Acts of rage are done while you're blind and deaf, meaning you seem to be unaware of what is going on around you. Being inraged about a situation influences your mind to think that all you want is horrible things to happen to the people in that situation. Sometimes it takes tragic events to open our eyes, like in Romeo and Juliet.

▬Do young people feel emotions more deeply than older people?

Aboslutely. Although I believe wisdom comes with experience and not with age, I think adults are able to keep their own composure more easily. Young people are more new to experience and tend to be flourished with major things that come to them. Younger people may not be able to cover up their feelings as well as older people.

▬Do people who are deeply in love act irrationally?

That is possibly true. If you are deeply love someone, you want to believe that person is the best person in the world. Some may even believe that their significant other may be the only other person they need. A person may do anything to get their lover and do anything to keep their lover, no matter what. One may choose to evolve their whole life around one person without ever opening the door the wold around them. Who knows what this may drive a person to do?

▬Do parents know what is best for their children more so than the children themselves?

If a parent still goes by the rules and regulations that his or her parent went by, I feel their children will be lost. The world isn't as conservative as it used to be back in the day. If you do not adjust to the new living styles as the world moves on, your children will be forced to learn things from the outside media and other peers, without their parents' guidence. A parent should raise their children to be smart and have good judgement and decisiveness.

The world changes with each generation.
