I’ve had both In-n-Out as well as The habit and I’m a big fan of both but there is no doubt in my mind that In-n-out takes the gold in my race. In-n-Out’s burgers in my opinion are better in almost every way except maybe the cheese.
The habit is definitely not far behind though, they have really good milkshakes, and way better french fries than In-n-out.
Technology can destroy you.
Technology makes life easier. Today, there are even robots that make you coffee and bring it to you. We are living the era of advanced technology. Computer, mobile phone, portable media player… We are addicted to all of them.
But… some people go through bitter experiences.
She was listening to her music loudly. People around her also hear the music and get annoyed. It’s not good for her ears. Above all, she does not recognize anything that goes on around her. Then, the worst thing happens.
I want to dedicate this video to my roommate. If you keep listening to music that loud, you are going deaf and possibly this kind of thing could happen.
So several days ago I got to learn about the first amendment in Government class.
What I’ve learned has been so interesting, I might as well write about it! Yay!
Basically, We have the right to have freedom of religion, speech and to gather publicly.
This is fantastic! this amendment makes this country a great country, because it gives us the right to be a”#holes, and that is, what makes this country so great!
Yet this is such a controversial amendment because it cover so much, yet it says so little This creates a HUGE! problem, because it can be interpreted by so many people and sometimes that’s bad. Take Tattooing for example, Tattooing is not protected by the first amendment…
Why?
Isn’t this a free country?
Do we not have rights?
Why does the Government not protect me for what I write on my ugly shell I call “skin”?
As I was saying, Costa Rica was an eventful trip. We went to Manuel Antonio National Park. It has this beautiful beach that’s right on the jungle. We were already wearing our bathing suits so we went swimming and my dad took a picture of me spitting water at my waterproof Olympus Stylus 7.1
He’s been obsessed with motion water pictures ever since. I used to be really into horseback riding. I rode English in California but in Manuel Antonio, the only place we could find with horses rode Western. It was tricky, trying to ride with one hand and the saddle was a little different. It had a pommel, which I liked. I could hold onto it and it was the perfect size for my hand. My horse was really nice too, but the best part was the ride. We rode alone along the deserted beach for hours. It was foggy and cool, late in the afternoon. The light was beautiful, calm and glowing. I had never been on a better ride, and even though I quit riding 2 years later, I still never have.
Everybody knows how much I love Philadelphia. I love the Eagles. I love the Phillies. I AM a New Jersey Devils fan, so I don’t really care for the Flyers. But, I love the fans. That is, until a very sad occurrence. On Wednesday night, while an anti-cancer PSA was being played on the Jumbo-tron, the fans booed Sidney Crosby, who was shown in the PSA.
If you aren’t a fan of the NHL, most fans don’t really care for Sidney Crosby. I’m not sure why. However, I don’t like him either so I don’t know why I’m vouching for his respect. He’s a good player, ’nuff said.
Ok, obviously the fans weren’t booing cancer. That would just be sick. I think it was just a passionate group of fans channeling their passion at the wrong time.
I apologize to anyone this action may offend. Take a look at the PSA for yourself. Don’t worry, the Flyers’ fans won’t boo you.
It’s true. Sometimes, we just have to let go.
Life is a learning process. Learning about our limits, our purpose, our favorite types of candy, our soul mate, our best friends. We have been learning from the very beginning. We absorb the most knowledge in the first five years in our life. We learn how to recognize faces. We learn how to walk. We learn to smile when we are happy and frown when we are not. We learn from experience, from our mistakes.
But we also learn about avarice, heartache, anger, prejudice, hatred, poverty, and murder. And through the years and our experiences, these unwanted emotions begin to build, some changing us for the better, others blinding us from the positive things in life.
That is why I love this quote so much.
We must leave the past in the past. I am not saying that we must forget about our past completely. No. That would be unwise at the least; the past is what defines us and makes us individuals. It is our past that helps us learn and grow. But it is equally important to learn to move on, recognize our faults, and realize that tomorrow is different from yesterday and even today.
Leaving the past behind may be the hardest part, but life should not be bogged down by our past but rather influenced and benefitted from it.
College.
Just hearing that word makes me cringe.
A few years ago, I didn’t even think I would be applying to colleges. I figured I would be attending a community college.
But now, college is so close, and all of my friends are stressing out about it. All I hear is “I’m working on my college essays” or “I had a college interview the other day.”
And I just think Umm, I don’t even know one single school that I’m applying to yet…
I have no idea what I want to study either. I really wish I was one of those people who knew what she wanted to do and went for it. It would make it so much easier!
I have confidence that I will be accepted into a good school, but the first step is figuring out where I am going to apply.
Bring it on, college apps. I will figure it out. It might take me a while, but I’ll figure it out.
I am a victim of consumerism. Yes, I admit it I love to shop, spend and snap up those sales. Shamefully I am a greedy, lustful consumer. But you know what, that’s what a lot of the world is shaped around these days. Ok, so I’ve always been a keen consumer but today I really realized the error of my ways.
The simple scenario that mapped out my sinful deeds began with a fast food shop they like to call McDonalds and the simple game of monopoly. Yes that time of year is back, Monopoly at McDonalds.
The sinful time when you are encouraged to buy fatty goodies in order to win cars, holidays and spa days has returned and I have been its first victim. Today I bought two McDonalds. Yes I repeat two McDonalds, breakfast and dinner. The concept of winning a prize from a meal was just too much, but no I did not win.
So whilst I counted the individual monopoly tickets I realized how I had become a victim. I had become a victim to games and consumerism. Now it’s time for me to change.
If you don’t know why you’re crying, taste your tears!
When was your last time you cried? What did it taste like?
According to a Japanese trivia website, I found an amazing fact about tears.
The taste of a tear depends on the situation. This is something to do with tear secretion. When you’re angry or feeling remorseful, you would be in a highly wrought-up state that makes the sympathetic nervous system active. This nervous system makes the tears contain more sodium and makes it more salty than usual. On the other hand, when you’re happy or just sad, the parasympathetic nervous system would be active to calm yourself, so it would contain more potassium that makes the tear watery and less salty. Moreover, when the parasympathetic nervous system is active, the tears would contain stress hormones so it releases your stress.
Such an interesting fact isn’t it!? When I cry, I mostly taste really salty tears! I thought there was only one kind of taste!
