Its only reality…

You win but never feel achieved

Live but never actually feel alive

Start but not always finish

Smile but not always mean it

Condole others when they need it

Believe in others when nobody does

Laugh but not always think it’s funny

Help but doesn’t always receive any back

Try but never succeeds

Forgive but don’t mean it all the time

Weaken at the thought of self-harm

Think but your mind is blank

Listen but don’t always hear anything

Fall and don’t get back up every time

Love but aren’t always loved back

Care when nobody cares about you

Dwindle away when depressed

Recover when you know it only leads to relapse    

 

The Escape from Reality (ssr)

How closely do you listen to lyrics?

 
I’ve always loved listening to music not just because it sounds cool but there is a secret meaning behind most songs that you have to listen to understand it. When you listen to a song first the beat behind it is interesting but once the person starts to sing I try and listen to what that person or people are trying to get through. Just by listening you can hear what their emotions were and how they wanted the song to be interpreted. Some may find a different meaning to the song but that’s okay some people just have different interpretations to the song, what you thought the song meant might be right to you but that’s how you personally feel. Some songs it may be easy to figure out what the song means like how Master of Puppets by Metallica is a song about cocaine and other drugs and how those drugs control you. Whereas Kim by Eminem sounds like a song that he wants to kill someone but he has a reason for it, she cheated on him and kicked him out and that meaning may not get to you at first but if you know what happened before it’s easy to figure out. When you listen to a song you will hear the meaning and for some songs you will take that meaning to a personal level. So Alone by Anna Blue would be for someone that is sad and lonely or just felling down because that is what she is singing about how people wouldn’t are if you disappeared. All of Me by John Legend would be a song that shows that you are feeling down but are in love with someone and that they want to be part of that person’s life.  We’re not Gonna take it by Twisted Sister has a political side to it and saying that they aren’t going to go by what the government was doing. By listening to music your how that music artist feels and how their perspective is on the topic they are singing whether it being drugs, depression, or being happy they all have their own opinion about something and express that opinion through their music. Music can reach you on a personal level but it’s up to you to take it personally and to listen to the true meaning of the song. I have heard that many people just listen to music for the background beat and don’t listen to the lyrics, I could never actually do that I love listening to the lyrics and what the musician is singing about if I’m not paying attention to the song and only here a part of the song I will always listen to the song again just to figure out the true meaning of the song. Music is my escape from the reality of the world, it makes me feel like I’m all alone and no one can hurt me, like there is no one that can get involved in my life and there is only me and the music and no one can interfere with that.

art (ID)

art is a very fun class to be you get to a lot of fun projects but sometimes there is some projects that you absolutely do not want to do. portraiture is a main type of art that a lot of people do not like to do because its very hard to get the face just right without making it look like a alien. doing 3D projects are the most fun because you get to use paint and who doesn't like to paint!! making 3D projects also takes a lot of time to finish but if you take your time with anything the out come will always be good. during art its a class that you can work and talk with out getting in trouble as long as you are working you wont. there is a lot of different projects that we do over the semester and you may hate some of the projects and you may love some and want to do it again but that's what art is for learning different techniques that you could use for art.

Should video games be considered a sport? (SSR)

Video games should be considered a sport because there are big tournaments like other sports and there are thousands of fans and other competitors that you have to compete with like sports. Most people would say that all you do is sit there and use your hands and then consider it not a sport. Well video games require a lot of focus and concentration and that is working your brain to learn to do those skills. Video games also require a lot of practice like other sports, when a big tournament is coming up you practice your sport as much as you can but so do video gamers when there big tournament is coming up and there is money involved usually so they want to make sure that they do really good so they win and you don’t want to be that one person that makes your whole team lose and not get the money. Also, it not only exercises you physically, it exercise mentally as well. Most video games require you to think quickly and on your feet. It also requires you to be able to solve problems which are exercising your brain. When you play video games you have to move your fingers and wrist really fast and that would help you to type and write better because you fingers and wrist can move fast to type and write. Now that people are smarter with technology they have created games that make you get up and move around like all of the Just Dances and all of the yoga games where there is a controller that you have to hold so that the game will reregister what you are doing so you can go agents your friends and see who will win.  Sports are not only physical exercise but it is mental exercise as well and some people don’t think that sports are but If you think about it it’s both.

The Understanding of Those "Different" People FC

Ster·e·o·type is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. When you don’t understand someone by how they act or what they wear what do you do, jump to conclusions, be friends with them, or just ignore it. Then there is that person that walks by and automatically jumps to conclusions and makes fun of them that is what stereotypes are. When you wear all black or when you listen to the rock bands like Black Veil Brides or Pierced the Veil you may be called “emo” or “Goth” then people will spread rumors about you then it leads to bullying then that person will not do well in school. When a guy wears pink he may be called “gay” then that boy will have a bad future because everyone will be calling him mean things. Stereotypes it can really hurt someone for life because once there is a rumor people never really forget that and it is carried on through their whole school years and there is always that person that will remind you of what happened in middle school and that will remind you of all the things you did and it would be humiliating. When someone gets bullied because they are Goth or emo you are most likely making their life worse because they might already be having a bad life at home like their parents abuse them or they don’t get included with that family and then you go and make the place where that person goes to make things bad and that person may start to have suicidal thoughts and then that may conclude to actually committing suicide and then that would not  be good for the people, students and the school would have a bad reputation  of bulling problems.  Almost every person has had someone make fun of them for some random reason and they did not like it and what do they do go and do it on other people.     

Is Technology taking over Picture Books? CRR

Most people now have their children go watch TV and that apparently is just the same as them reading a picture book to them. Some parents have leap frogs or something else that is like that to read to them and play games with them so they sit there and do that all day instead of bonding with their parents so, in the future they will be glued to their phone and avoid you then even further in the future when they move out they will not come and visit for Christmas or Easter and spend the day with their parents, and you can’t blame them and take your anger out on them cause it was your fault for getting all that “great” technology for them to help learn, when you could have taken the money you bought for the that stuff and go buy some picture books that you could read to your children. We as children loved it when our teachers parents or siblings read to us so we could just sit there and listen to the story and look at the pictures and have our imagination go wild of thinking about what could happen next or what just happened in the story. I know that my favorite book that my teachers read to me was the ones by Dr.Suess, like the cat in the hat or one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. Every time a teacher said that she would read a picture book to us we would get excited and they would also tell us to go get a book but know we just log on to a computer and read stories from there or play reading games there instead of interacting with all the other students. Having picture books when we were little was the best thing ever and for some people they still are and I don’t think technology should be taking over the joy of picture books.
