Censor$h!@%

The theme of the article is irony, as it is the only one I could gather from it as it is hypocritical and almost extreme to the point in which she says that our public school libraries should be like maximum security facilities in which children get little choice in what material they read and librarians who allow the children to read "inappropriate" literature are penalized and/or punished for repeat offense. While it is understandable that the writer is concerned about her children and those in the school, her solutions are VERY extreme to the point of fining, or even taking away pensions, for librarians who allow children to read age inappropriate books, the article is basically slander from a woman who obviously does not know what she is talking about as one of the books she trys to ban is that of a biology book, and her methods to stop children are rather outlandish, unheard of even in some places of more serious matters, extremely biased, impractical and poorly thought through, one idea is to use bear cages to close off books to "advanced" for some children, and she even considers retinal scanners as one way to stop them from obtaining some books. Although she is justifiably angry her methods for dealing with the censorship in schools is poor at best and it is understandable why one of her books were banned as she is a raving mad women with nothing better to do then to rummage through her own children's position's and try to impose herself, and control every aspect of their learning.
Which brings me to my next topic, Is there a need for censorship? My answer, No because despite popular belief I have yet to witness any real or Very Lewd behaviour and most of society is fairly good at keeping their indiscretions a secret. While there have been some people who could be considered to exposed for society, the rest seem rather good at keeping in check their own deviant acts to themselves. In conclusion censorship is not really needed in my opinion but it is appreciated as it helps to keep children what they are children.

Illusions

In the Beau Otto's presentation is a set of optical illusions designed by TED, the general theme of the presentation is that sight means almost nothing and that almost anything we see is an optical illusion. The presentation shows that colour is nothing but an illusion, therefore racism is not real? Therefore the Holocaust was REALLY not necessary, although the Jewish people being of the same skin colour i don't think it was because of the colour of their skin thus making this a bad example for this particular topic, should have went with segregation, or apartheid, but i just thought it was a little Cliche, in any case racism is just more of a status sort of thing rather than being better than someone in any form said racist sees fit. Another optical illusion is time as it is merely a fourth dimension, therefore making most things that people do rather pointless but then again who am i to judge, as i wasted most of the readers time with the holocaust and am doing it again by rambling, so i shall stop referring to the holocaust at this time, if it exists. A connection between me and the presentation is that i did not see any of the so called illusions, except for the bee one but really who didnt get that one, and therefore i can differentiate between reality and whatever that presentation was, therefore confirming my sanity, finally. In conclusion i would like to leave my reader with a riddle, if a tree falls in the woods and nobody seen it did it still fall, think about it.

Creative Pursuit of Happiness

I used to think that numbers only went up to 10, you can imagine my surprise when i discovered the number 11 it blew my mind. I math surprisingly did not become easier but it did become funner because of the exciting disvovery, i learned it helped me learn about the alphabet easier because i finally made it past the letter J, and it was revolutionary when i turned 11 as it was a major turning point in my life, no im just kidding it was as normal as any other 11 year old life but it was significant because of the memory of me learning of the number 11. Yes if things could go back to when there only 10 numbers im sure life would be easier because i would only have to worry about ten things at a time, and i would score 10 out 10 on everything, not to mention i would be the richest person in the world each time i go t10 dollars, but it also could mean i would be ten forever which i also didnt know about its just like a sideways 8 or something like that, i tried counting to it once but i stopped at 70865 because i couldnt stay up any longer. Indeed as fun as it was to be ten 11 was so much more kick ass and i would never go back to ten after i learned that 11 was a higher and therefore better number than 10.

The Road less traveled

I believe it is important that one finds a career choice that they are passionate about because it is imperative to be good at it because it could be something important such as brain surgery, defusing bombs, or assassin for hire, if any of these people were depressed or unmotivated the results could be dire. Another good example of someone who job relies on self motivation is my uncle if he was not able to get up in the morning to do his job we would not have some plants and animals in the Okanagan today as his job his to help preserve it, someone else who has an important career is my aunt as she is a librarian and archive something or other and all the students at the Enowkin center rely on her knowledge of where which books are, certain events or stories, and organization of the entire library so her own self motivation is key as well. Although unclear as to what I will do with my own career path, I have chosen Firefighter as a possible career choice and how i will get there is still unknown at the moment as i am unclear as to what training firefighters need aside from fire safety and common sense when it comes to fires. With the knowledge i gain in school though i hope to pursue a better career than that and rise above my own expectations, which i have as i usually set the bar low.

Top this 3

In response to the demand of something top 3'ish, the topic chosen is my favourite 3 numbers the criteria being something personal about me.

1.4 because i have four letters in my name

2.1 becauase i am number one

3. 3 because it took me 3 minutes to type this up

with this i bring to a conclusion of my top 3 favourite numbers.

SuperPowers or something or other

If I could have any super power it would be the peak of human physical fitness which would grant me greater reaction time, strength sufficient enough to bench press 1100 pounds, enhanced metabolic functions to prevent the build up of fatigue poisons in my muscles, the ability to run a mile under a minute, make my immune system resistant to any and all disease. Reasons for choosing this is because i could not decide on an actual superhuman trait so instead i decided that it would be better if i was a perfect speciman of humans and therefore not superhuman.

Captains Log

Pure insanity, ludicrous i told them, but when i turned on the TV it was right there in front of me, there was another person spending there Tuesdays with a guy named Morrie. What're the odds that someone else had a friend named Morrie and they spent their Tuesdays with him too. It was a Tuesday afternoon (obviously) that i was watching TV with my good chum Morrie and we seen a special about a guy named Morrie, you would have imagined our astonishment at the fact they were also publishing a book. When i actually read it i realized it had nothing to do with what me and Morrie were doing, in fact they were so far off i kinda thought they were wasting their Tuesdays, until i realized that in reality me and Morrie were the ones not doing anything. Ironically me and Morrie were their opposites in the sense that we weren't life changing go getter's dead set on making things better, hell if anything we were the opposite we encouraged each other to do less then what we were capable of, we were poster boys for underachievement. When we seen the dateline episode with the "Other" Morrie we instantly knew these guys were different from us and we laughed when we read what kind of professor the guy was. When the book came out we read it and thought we'd get some sort of kick out of it, but it really changed our perspective on things and put them in place. It made me think that i should really be puttin the brakes on slacking off and really get down to work so now i have a job and now ive got a new lease on life as does morrie, hes now the CEO of his own company, its not a big one but he can still bring it up in casual conversation. In conclusion i respect what Morrie and Mitch have done for their tuedays, but i won't take part in it entirely, there is certain kernal of truth to what they were doing, there is No such thing as "Too Late".
