Abortion is a very hard topic to discuss. Most people will eventually break out in arguments because of this topic. Some agree that it’s ok for the mom to have an abortion and others will say it is not ok. Abortion is when a woman gets pregnant and didn’t really plan to, so they have to go through the decision of taking away the life in their stomach. That’s tough for the woman and people will agree that it is ok for he to make that decision. It’s her body and she can do whatever she wants to do with it. Teen pregnancy is going up and they never intend to have the baby. All they wanted was sex, and they think that is they have sex and be protected that they can’t get pregnant. It happened and now they don’t know what to do. So they get an abortion. The question stands, should abortion be allowed?

This topic is definitely a world controversial topic. People all over the world do get pregnant and then decide that they don’t want the baby so they allow the doctors to remove them from her stomach. I personally don’t agree with this, but I can’t be the one to decide for the world. At two weeks there is a heart beat of the fetus. So after that point and removing it, it would be considered killing a human to many. It’s not fair to those who want to have babies but can’t get pregnant . The ones who can just take the baby’s life away because they didn’t want it.

With abortion you are kind of taking away a baby’s choice to live. I know that you didn’t plan to have a baby and this seems like it is going to ruin you but you have to know that you decided to have sex. You thought that things like getting pregnant could never happen to you because you had protection but it did happen. Now you have a decision to make and when you make that decision you have to know that you holding someone’s else’s rights to live.

I cannot see me and my future girlfriend having an abortion because we were not ready to have a child. I wouldn’t feel comfortable knowing that I had to take a child’s life because I couldn’t keep my distance from my girlfriend. I typically like to look at all viewpoints of a problem but I can’t bring myself to look at through the other’s eyes.

Thinking about how this applies to Thoreau might be just simple. He was trying to warn and tell people that the government is immoral. While I might tell people that maybe taking away a baby’s life might not be right. He talks about how you will have to take a chance and risk your life to make a change. To show that the government isn’t what they seem to be. Just know that each machine is different so in order to break it you have to come at it from another way. I could talk to people in a way where they can understand  why abortion will seem immoral. I just have to know the right steps to take.

As far as Thoreau’s concepts in Civil Disobedience might work for the way he intended it to, it might actually be a little if a far fetch for it to work in this situation. Everyone can see why the government can be immoral but not everyone can see why abortion will be. This is definitely a very touchy topic to discuss with people. Its like walking on eggshells. I do respect the decision the person makes because it is their decision. But I can’t tell them they are wrong because that would be another moral issue. And it is not for me to say that you are wrong in your decisions.

Don't Feel Bad, It's Okay!

Failure is just a part of life. Its not like we can just take that part of life and throw it away. At some point or another we fail, and that's okay. I know I have failed many times and it hurts to know that I failed but I learned form it. I accepted that maybe that I wasn't meant to do the thing that I want to do.

I recently had two jobs. One of them is where I had dreamed of  working when I had turned 16, and that is the one i quit. I felt like I wasn't doing what I needed to do. The way the job worked was I had to sell shoes and accessories. I couldn't do that. I was failing at this job in my head. When I started off with making $400-$500 worth in sales, but after a while I would make only about $200 worth of sales. Everyone else was making $600 - $700. With that job you had to keep your sales up or you would be let go. I wasn't going to be let go because I have a good personality and I could talk with customers, but I wasn't good at selling. So I quit. At my other job on the hand, is where I feel more comfortable.

I failed at this job because I think I wanted to let myself fail. I wanted to give myself a reason to quit. I wasn't happy there. I would dread going to work. I didn't have enough courage in myself to quit because everyone loved me (by everyone I mean the staff). Not to toot my own horn or anything but I know I have a personality that just makes friends easily. I couldn't build up the courage to tell them that I wanted to quit so I didn't do my best. I know that is never the right thing to do. If you want to do something do it right. I tend to do my best originally, but I had to break out of my comfort zone. I had to be loud and I am not a loud person.

After this experience In learned that I have to work much harder if I want get to places that I want to be. If I don't try then I won't go anywhere and feel like I shouldn't really work hard. I am using my experience form this job to work hard in my current job. And from that I can tell you I might just be going to a whole new level.

Don't regret your failures. Laugh, learn and gain something special from them. Who knows maybe it can make your life better.

The Amazing World of Gumball!

If you have not watched this show yet I advice you go watch it, unless you don't want to lose brain cells. I'm kidding you can't lose brain cells from watching this, I think. If you like shows where there is really no plot of the story, or any story, or humans, you have to watch The Amazing World of Gumball. There are no humans just animals or inanimate objects that are given personification. It's about two best friends (a blue cat and a gold fish with legs) who lives their lives day by day with fun adventures in there house or around the city of Elmore. Sometimes some supernatural things happen, so if you are in to that then go watch it. There isn't any major story plot to this show. One episode they could be friends with a character and next episode they could have conflict.

The character development is what makes the show funny. It ranges from an overweight pink bunny father who is definitely no the smartest man in the show. In fact many of the male gender seem like they aren't the brightest. Only a but a few are, and play the voice of reason in some cases. They also seem like the go with the flow type of people. Not the ones to cause many problems and if they do, it's unintentional. As for the female roles they are the smarter species. There is the strong blue cat mom who has anger issues but is smart and the four year old little sister who is intelligent enough to be in junior high. Then there are the old people. They are all old and sit outside on the lawn and use electric wheel chairs to move around. They are cranky when the younger generation comes around and laugh when they get hurt. Those are the major characters so they do develop over time. What I noticed about this show is that there are a lot of side characters. At one point or another each side character gets there own episode so their character is developed. Like I said before the males are that smart and the females are. So when a boy gets their own episode you see that they are still are dumb and see how the girls are smart.

Overall if you want a good laugh just watch this show. I could watch it all the time and wont complain.

Catching Fire

While reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins I found many exciting, crazy, irritating, and mouth dropping aspects in this book. The best part would have to be during the quarter quell. That is where I personally believe that there is a major plot twist along with many character developments occurring. Katniss is in a arena along with 23 other winners from previous Hunger Games. Her only goal is to keep Peeta alive. She thinks that she has to take out every single contestant but remembers what Haymitch tells her. "Katniss, when you are in the arena,you just remember who the true enemy is." At that moment she realizes that the contestant aren't there to take her out, but to only give the capital a show. Show them what they want to see so that they won't suspect that the contestants want to take down the capital. 

With the character development Finnik wasn't on Katniss' good side at first but when seeing that he wore a bracelet like haymitch's, she knew she could trust him. He proves to her that they all have one goal and that is to take down the capital. He will do anything to make sure that Katniss will take down the capital. Even if it means that he will give up his life. 

Then there is irritating characters. President snow is defiantly irritating. He shows up to Katniss' house telling her to keep up her act so that no one suspects that there is a rebellion. And if she does something to step out of line, he would go after her loved ones. He knows that she would have to keep the act up. It gets me mad that you can't leave the happy "couple" alone. They are done with the game and everybody loves them so need to worry. 

For targeted audience, I believe that the group of people who are targeted are teens and young adults. This doesn't mean any other age group can't read this, but it catches the attention to the younger generation. It has the trill and excitement that we like to read. Also the main character is young herself. And there are moments where we can relate to her. I would be in that target audience. 

After reading this book I would give it a 10. I was really interesting on how this world is created and controlled by the government. And no one likes that so they have to fight for freedom. And it's all up to the girl on fire to save them. Also it's just a good series of books to read. You just have to read them yourself. 

Moral Dilemma

Oh man. No, there is nothing here. That I see. I hate doing this when I can't find food. I have to come up with something for him to eat. I feel so bad when he doesn't eat. He looks so sad sitting there. Crap he is coming up to me. "Golo, I'm hungry". Man, I knew this was coming eventually. Let me look. 

Oh ok I found some eggs. He like eggs right? That's a simple thing to make. It only takes a minuet or two.  He'll eat them with some ketchup. Oh wait he doesn't like Ketchup. He likes to eat them plain anyway. And if I add some food coloring he would want to eat them. What if he isn't in the mood for that? 

Yes, I found some pancakes. He loves to eat those. It's a simple one two three process. It's is a nice hot breakfast and really good. He can eat these for days. So if we have pancakes we must have syrup. Dang it. We are out of syrup. And he can only eat the pancakes with syrup because he thinks it is too dry. Well I'll loom again 

Cereal! He loves his cereal. And it doesn't even matter if it has milk or not. He can eat the most driest cereal and won't even want to have milk with it. He likes it like that. 

Awesome we even got his favorite kind. Cinnamon toast crunch. So I'll give him that. But what if he isn't in the mood for that. 

Well, I guess this is one of those times where I have to be an older brother. I'll make him the eggs, pancakes, and cereal. He'll eat one if not all. 

Ok great he ate all of it. I guess he really was hungry. I guess finding food wasn't that bad. Maybe I'm just lazy.😅

To be a man

A note before you stat reading. I am not being sexiest, I will explain my opinion and also see it from the another point of view. 

 

I never really knew what a man in my culture. I know my grandfathers idea and concept of how a man should be. But again that's my grandfather's opinion, not everyone else's. But in my eyes I see that a man is someone who is reliable, hardworking, brave. Could take care of his family, if they have one of their own. Proper, classy, yet fun. Oh and one major fact and is the most important to me is a man is always respectful of women. 

My step father is a perfect example of how a man should act. He has been with my mother since I was 10 months. That 17 years. He is was working hard, you can trust him to do things even though he takes his time. He is mature. He knows when to be serious and and have. And he has always been there for my mother. If it wasn't for him I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the man I am today. He is also making sure that his kids are fed, clean, and happy. 

When I'm sick and my mother has to work. He makes sure that I have everything I need. He would leave just to go get medicine, or some soup and juice. He puts us first and him last. 

My brother not so much of a man. He is older then me and I'm more responsible then him. He has a lot to learn to become a man. 

All the qualities I list are what a man should be. If one where to live alone, he wouldn't have to worry about a thing. He would most likely have a good job and nice simple home. Now if he had a family, he still wouldn't have nothing to worry about. He has his wife and kids. He can support the family and raise his kids well. He would be a good role model to his son(s). And as far as  being part of the community, this man has a positive effect on the community. 

I'm pretty sure that a lot of men value these qualities. I know I am one of them. But I feel like some of them reach a comfort zone eventually and don't become a man. I don't see a lot of men who value those qualities in my culture. And it's sad to say that. But the ones who do become a man are happy in the end and don't have a lot to worry about. 

I'm my opinion when I grow up I want to be the working one in the house. I don't want my wife to work but if she wants to I'm fine with that. But if she doesn't need to then, she doesn't have to. 

Loyalty and Friendship

Before I get into loyalty and friendship, I would like to say my loyalty to my family always comes first. 

For limits on loyalty I defiantly won't do anything crazy no matter how close you are to me. If you tell me that you need me to hide something that you stole. You better return it because I won't help you with that. But I will have loyalty for if you need something really important, but it's for a good reason, I will have your back. 

Personally I think that friendship and loyalty go hand and hand. But there is are different extents to how each person uses it. I know I have different levels of loyalty and friendship with many people. I have my best friends, then there is my group of friends that I'm really close to, then my regular friends, last there are my acquaintances. So the way I mentions my friends is the way I have my loyalty to those people. 

With my best friends I am the most loyal to them. And they are the same to me. Now people may argue this with me. No to be too loyal to anyone because they won't be to you. In this case it isn't what the crazy type of loyalty where they would ask me to help them do something bad and vise versa. But as in if I have food I will share with you so you don't starve, or if you need help with something I can help you. 

With my group of friends they come second. I will help them out when they need it. But I won't share my food. But in all seriousness I am there for them when I need it. And I will always ask them what they are doing and if they are not doing anything I ask them to hang out. 

With my regular friends and acquaintances I will give them the respect that they deserve and just help them when ever they need to.
