To be content means that you must be happy with what you have already and not want more. The moment there is the feeling of want, then you might be steered into a direction that is not beneficial for yourself and other people. You must think that you have enough already and everything else is just a bonus and not mandatory. Once you know how to be content, then you will be able to become more prosperous.
Once someone doesn't care, nothing will be in their way because they simply don't care. Also if you ignore a conversation that might relate to things to make you envious then you won't be exposed to those things and therefore no harm will come.

I saw a very interesting movie. I was quite a disturbing movie actually, because of some of the themes that it had shown. The movie was about a layer named Mr. Lomax who was invited to come to the city and work for a large firm. He was invited because he never lost a case in his whole career as a lawyer. Mr. Lomax and his wife were not used to the city and because of all the new things, all the pressure, the stress, and the loneliness, they started to hallucinate and that make his wife become insane and in the end, she committed suicide by slicing her own throat with broken glass. Then it turns out that his boss is his father and Satan. He wants Mr. Lomax to create a child with another one of his MANY children and create an anti-Christ family. Also, Mr. Lomax's father (Satan) tells him that his wife's death was his own fault because he focused too much on the firm and winning cases instead of helping his wife who he knew was going crazy from the start. Mr. Lomax is now unbelievable furious and since he knows that he cannot escape Satan, he commits suicide by shooting himself to prevent an anti-Christ family.
In the next scene, he wakes up from that story like how someone wakes up from a dream and he finds himself back at the time when he's at the courthouse where he wins that case that allows him to gain the offer to go to the firm and he loses the case on purpose so that he won't make the same mistake twice. The problem is that Satan has followed Mr. Lomax back to the 'real world' and has disguised himself as a friend of Mr. Lomax.

I didn't have time to type (But I wrote it on a piece of paper) up my blog yesterday because I got home late from shopping and then I watched the Devil's Advocate. Today, I got a trench coat, a shirt, and a pair of jeans. (They look very nice when you match them together) I think that money can be spent too easily because in a matter of one day, we already spend 3000 dollars. That is definitely WAY TOO MUCH. I don't really think I deserve what I got, but I don't know how to repay my parents.

The Kitchen:
My guests call it The Kitchen of International Cuisine because of it's diverse styles of dishes. The chefs are from the finest restaurants straight from Paris, Shanghai, London, and Rome and the dishes they make when they work together are like massage therapy for your taste buds. The kitchen is connected to the dinning room from an opening in the ground that opens up like automatic doors, then the platform raises and out comes the chefs with the food. The dinning room itself has walls and ceiling that is painted to imitate the Sistine Chapel. The ground is covered with a thick carpet that is red and has yellow designs that wind their way like how vines wrap themselves around a fence. The table is long and it fits 20 people and the chairs at the ends had high backs that were at least twice the height of the real person. The lights once again were chandeliers that hung from the ceiling like a gigantic disco ball.

They are afraid you will get robbed when you are going to see a movie with 20 other classmates.
They don't know when it's right to say something or when it's the wrong time.
They don't understand that you just want to be away from them sometimes.
They don't know about the problems that you are having
they don't know your feelings
they don't that there are things you just cant tell them
they don't know anything
i hate them.

My Dream House?.... Okay! =D
Dream House Part 1: The Waiting Room
My limousine drove through the tall gates and across the marble driveway. We stopped at the entrance to my house and the driver opened the car door for me as I stepped out onto the blood red Persian carpet that led into the house. As I walked up the steps that led up to a pair of automatic double doors, my leather shoes made no sound in the thick carpet. The moment you entered through the doors, servants would be there to help you take off your coat and bring you a cup of tea, while you could smell the aroma from hired cooks from France who were preparing dinner in your huge kitchen. The lobby had a water-fountain that displayed an ornate carving of the Greek god Poseidon who is riding his golden chariot upon the raging seas. A garden of exotic plants would border the walls of the lobby and exquisitely carved antique chairs would weave around the decorations. On the walls, there would be portraits of important people and paintings done my famous artists such as Vincent Van Goh and Leonardo da Vinci. On the ceiling, there would hang a grand chandelier that was decorated with crystal lights that reflected fluorescent glow onto the walls and it illuminanted the room once turned on.

The books were lined up along the shelves row upon row and each shelve was stacked to the high ceiling so that they looked like columns that held it up. I walked through every single row and saw every single title, yet none of them tickled my fancy. As I slowly reached the end of this vast sea of paper, I saw what looked like a section of the library that was closed off. I knew it wasn't allowed, but in the end my curiosity won over my morals and I tenderly walked over the rope that acted as a mental barrier to warn people not to cross. The air suddenly changed, yet I was still in the same room. A chill had just ran down my spine and I sensed something sinister was about in this dark section of the room. A little ways off, I saw a display case and as I peered through the glass that was clear as ice. I saw the perfect book. I lifted the cover of the case and I gently took out the book. This book was unlike the other ones that were covered in dust, this one was old yes, but it had not a single tear, a single page that was folded, or even a speck of dust. As I felt the cover of the book, I could read the words "Il Diavolo's Maledizionepine". I flipped open the book the front page and I saw the most monstrosorous beast that human eyes has ever seen, yet I stared at the page and I tried to tear my eyes away from that horrid creature. Eventually the page turned itself and the next picture was even more terrible then the last and as time progressed the pages fliped faster and faster. I could see that the pages formed a story and as the pages flipped faster, it looked much like a flip book, yet I still couldn't tear my eyes away. The story was filled with murders, torture, and deception, and as I looked harded, I could start to hear the voice of the story becomming louder and louder. Then with the voices, a wave of heat came surgeing from the book, yet all this time I could not move. I smelled the putrid scent of rotting meat mixed with smoke and death.
Suddenly, A hand came out from the book and grasped onto my waist. I looked down and I was that it was slowly being blown away like how the wind blows away the sand in the desert. Slowly, that wind rose to my neck and then my chin, then my mouth, and my eyes were gone. It was all dark, except for the face of hell. I just remembered from my Italian class, the book title was The Devil's Curse.

Tiger had a fascinating childhood because he started to play golf at a really young age. Since the age of two, Tiger had already started playing golf and by the age of eight, he won the 9–10 boys' event, the youngest age group available, at the Junior World Golf Championships. He has won the PGA 71 times and the European Tour 38 times. That is an accomplishment you cannot argue with. Tiger is a figure in golf, the first thing you think of when you think of golf is Tiger Woods.

I'm really looking forward to the Christmas party on the seventeenth because not only will it fill our ravaging appetite, but it will also let us have a chance to meet the people in synergy nine. i think it is important to meet some of the people in synergy nine because they can share their experiences of high school with us and it will be a good thing just to become friends with them.

| War (No More Trouble) lyrics Until the philosophy which holds one race Superior and another inferior Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned Everywhere is war, me say war That until there is no longer first class And second class citizens of any nation Until the colour of a man's skin Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes Me say war That until the basic human rights are equally Guaranteed to all, without regard to race Dis a war That until that day The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship Rule of international morality Will remain in but a fleeting illusion To be pursued, but never attained Now everywhere is war, war And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique, South Africa sub-human bondage Have been toppled, utterly destroyed Well, everywhere is war, me say war War in the east, war in the west War up north, war down south War, war, rumours of war And until that day, the African continent Will not know peace, we Africans will fight We find it necessary and we know we shall win As we are confident in the victory Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil | |
This song is obviously trying to make people go against war, but it also says that some wars are fought over pointless thing such as race, social status, etc.
They also say that war is something that we cannot demolish unless we get rid of race, social status, etc.
Also they say that some people have to fight for basic things like human rights.
They say that all of these things relate to the problems that the people of africa have to face. They want us to help them.

I stood there in a black cotton coat and some black jeans. In this abysmal darken of the night, I was nearly invisible. I was waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger of one of many guns I had skillfully concealed within the inside of my coat. So skillfully, it got passed the airport security when I flew over here.
The man who hired me gave me a simple task: "A man who is wear a pair of blue pants, a brown leather coat, and a black hat... is your target."
So there I waited, in the deep snow of Moscow where the snow fell lightly like grains of sugar that were floating down from the black cloth people call the night sky. I looked up and I could see the moon shining like a huge street lamp giving light to the world and I could see it's reflection on the ice that had once been a river.
I faintly hear footsteps that were approaching at rapid pace. I stealthily drew out a pistol and attached a silencer onto it. The foot steps grew louder with every passing second and I knew the time when lion pounces on it's prey was walking closer and closer. Tap, tap, tap, TAP, TAP, TAP.
Just before I was going to reveal myself, the target had walked up in front of me. in that split second I knew my timing was flawed because the softness of the snow muffled the sound of walking and when I thought he was far away, in reality, he was quite close. Regardless, I could see that he was unarmed so I pinned him down onto the ground and pressed the muzzle of the gun into his temple.
In the moonlight clearing which I had pushed him into, I could now see his face.
I saw my face.
He was my twin.
"What is this?" He asked. I hesitated for a second and I replied in a merciless and cold voice. "This is called good business."
I pulled the trigger.

Stand By Me
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
I think that this song is trying to tell us that if we all stick together we won't suffer as many hardships compared to if we didn't help each other.
It tells us that no matter how bad the situation is or how desperate things might be, if we have each other for support and help each other, we will survive until the end.

Sorry, but I didn' have connection yesterday, but today I went to the library to do this!
One Love
One Love, One HeartLet's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One Love)
Hear the children crying (One Heart)
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)
There is one question I'd really like to ask (One Heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me
One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love)
So shall it be in the end (One Heart)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
One more thing
Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love)
So when the Man comes there will be no no doom (One Song)
Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation
Sayin' One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleading to mankind (One Love)
Oh Lord (One Heart)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right
I think that this song is about trying to eliminate sadness among all the people of the world, that's why they are attempting to sing this song to make people more aware of the bad things that are happening all around the world. Also, lots of people turn towards their holy figure (usually god) for help, so that is why in the song they use these ideas.

the world wouldn't be what is is now. Without education there would not people the people serve us on a daily basis, such as doctors, bus drivers, political leaders, etc. Also, without it, people would never be satisfied, because people just have the natural urge to learn about the world around them. If you ask any question at all, may it be "How big is the universe?" or "What is your favorite colour?" you are still learning. If you learn well or not is also a big factor of how well you will do in life.

Family Reflections:
I assume you don't have to do lesson 11.
LESSON 12
Think about it: What is the essence of your family? In one phrase or in a few words, describe what you are about.
I think that family is made up of what we want for the future. They want me to have good future no matter how hard the present may be.
I think that I'm about getting the most out of being on this plant. I want to experience everything for myself by traveling and doing new things that I want to do. I also want to write a novel to immortalize my experiences so that I have something that I will leave behind after I am gone.
