Real Friends (4th Blog Post)

      A real friend should stick by your side, caring and helping for each other through any hard times in life. And this thought applies both ways; Treat others like you would like to be treated. Out of all my life so far, only a select few have stuck by my side and thanks to them, I'm who I am today. Without friends, life is lonely, dull, and boring. However, with friends by your side, you can conquer all. Whether it be getting out the dumps, a test you forgot to study for, or simply boredom, friends are great in any situation. Just as well, to be a good friend you should care for your friends as well. They have bad days just as you do, and they need the pick me up just as well. As it says in the bible: As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another ( Proverbs 27:17).

Time for Tea! (3rd Blog Post)

     If I could have any three people, dead or alive, real or fictional, over for tea, I would choose to have Nico (, from the Percy Jackson Series) and Prince Zuko (, from the Avatar: The Last Airbender). They both reminded me of each other while I read/watched their respective stories. They both have the most emotional stories of their groups. Zuko was banished from his own father's palace for speaking out of turn. His father challenged him at the age of 11 to a duel and when Zuko refused to fight his father, he banished Zuko. Nico is a half-blood, son of Hades and a mortal woman. If that was not bad enough, his sister dies on a quest, leaving Nico alone while he was only 10 years old. Hopefully, Zuko and Nico can support and comfort each other over a nice cup of herbal tea, because with both of them together, there would be bad vibes all around and that would be quite the quandary!

"Imagine" ( 2nd Blog Post)

     If I could bottle up one memory to save and re-live later, it would be of the time I sang in New York's Central Park. I remember stepping into the tunnel across from the fountain, and at the end of the tunnel was a set of stairs. Our tour guide was telling us some history about Central Park when at the top of those stairs was a tile mosaic circle with the word Imagine written across the middle. When we came to the circle, our tour guide explained that John Lennon wrote the song Imagine, then asked if any of us listened to The Beatles. At the time, I was into all kinds of classic rock, from The Rolling Stones to Queen and all the way back to The Beatles. Everyone on the trip new that so I was nominated to sing a Beatles song, but I had no idea on which song to choose, so the tour guide began to suggest songs like Ticket to Ride, Yellow Submarine, Hey Jude, and many others. We finally settled on Here Comes the Sun, so I began to sing and that was that. A great moment I would gladly love to re-live.

#1 Rule (1st Blog Post)

     People should not get angry about video games. Some people have really bad habits like being a sore loser and that can really damppen the winners spirits as well. For example, say I'm playing Super Smash Bro's: Brawl with my brother and when he wins, I begin to throw controllers and complain. This could be a big nuisance to my brother, and if I'm loud enough, maybe my mother in the next room as well. Also, on the internet, people get very angry and show a lot of FORTITUDE about certain games being better that others, certain characters not deserving a spot in a game, or more simply bullying. This can get really annoying on websites like YouTube and Twitch, where the video has to keep buffering because two communities are blowing up the chat about who's better? Mario or Luigi? So people should not get angry and argue about video games. They should just have fun playing them.
