morrie, live the moment with no regrets

." An old man, A young man, and Life's greatest lesson".

 

Morrie a one of a kind teacher who taught his students its not all about living with materialistic items, but to love and live in the moment you live in right now. To have a meaning and purpose in your life to have something you looked forward to each day and go for it without any regrets. see the beauty of the world, is what he taught Mitch his fellow student who he also calls his friend. As Mitch tries to spend every last second with Morrie and the last moments of his life before he is gone, As he visits every Tuesday to learn a new lesson. A lesson how to love, to find a purpose, meaning and always see the brighter in things when things are rough. Even teaching Mitch when you think of death it opens your eyes to seeing the best and beauty of things, to enjoy and live life to the fullest even though there's obstacles in your way, because there's always something waiting for you ahead that's going to make everything better. Even though Mitch noticed how sick and sicker Morrie got, he always noticed how Morrie had a smile and always a positive perspective no matter how much in pain he was dealing with. As his passion for dancing and music got stronger as well as he started to enjoy all the little things more and more with passion. As Morrie put it "without love we are a bird with broken wings" because love is what gives us purpose in meaning in life, we have to learn to have emotions care about non materialistic items as they are not always going to satisfy us. Mitch was given a life changing experience with his professor before he had to move on. As we also shouldn't cling on to things so long, because not a lot of things last, death is something everyone has to face in there life. Death is something that we have to accept,As we have to treat everyday like its our last and enjoy and love every little thing in our life because we will never know when its going to be our last. live , love and smile.

" so many people walk around with meaningless life. them seem half asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. this is because they're chasing the wrong things. the way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning"-pg.43 Tuesdays With Morrie



jobs wanted!

from the early days where families lost hope from unemployment due to the great depression and put out to the streets because they did not have the money to support themselves. The state we are in right now dealing with finding jobs are becoming a bit easier little by little as time passes by. As companies expand job wanting's, but the only problem is yes people are able to find jobs but the economy is bad. Due to where jobs only pay you a small amount expecting it'll be enough for you to survive on. to be honest its not, a lot of people still suffer as its not that easy to pay the bills, then all the sudden finding yourself in stress and debut because you just don't have enough. Money is what we need to go on and on being able to still survive in this world. As things began to price up and people wondering out looking for a home. I believe we all deserve to get paid in a good amount from all the hard work we put into to make these companies work. or better yet I wish money never mattered, because it changes people, makes them greedy and such. but when we get money and a lot of it we just want more and more like for example in the book "what matter in America" In Renee Loth's essay Why Do We Work quotes "the trouble with struggling and searching is that I keeps us in a permanent state of wanting--always reaching for more." pg.273 . which in this fact its true, sometimes we have to look an ask ourselves when we buy products and ask "do I really need this item?". Because when we do buy something we don't really need all we want is more and more money so we are able to buy the things we like. But as the job thing is getting better and better, we hope the economy does as well.



harry potter and the journey of the book review

• The novel I am introducing is written by an author named J.K Rowling. As she explains her dream through imagination in her old time classic I am reading called "Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone". It was produced and published by a company called SCHOLASTIC PRESS, in 1997. As J.k Rowling herself was born in 1965 in Yate, England. As she started to write and plan her series of harry potter after waiting after a delayed train ride in England As she started to plan and outline each novel for the past 5years after her idea. She also seem to work as a researcher at Amnesty international. the review of the plot taken in this story is what I describe "magical". As it starts out from being outrageously neglected by his own aunt and uncle, As the young boy Harry (the boy who lives) is given a destiny as he proves his worth at his new school. As we take a wild journey with the young 11 year old Harry potter himself seem to find himself accompanied along with his two new school mates Hermione Granger and Ron Wesley. They never seem to have their guard down for one another as they protect one another from danger that leaks through the walls of Hogwarts. AS when they are together they can make it through anything even danger. In the beginning of the novel the setting starts off in England On a street called number four Privet Drive then across to a enchanted castles where you can see the magic awaits you. As the characters together forum themselves a great adventure, as they travel through dangerous obstacles that will make them Hero's. As bravery to me seems to be a theme in the book as I can see the way the character show how they are not afraid to take forth in defending their school. As they also take paths that had might had even brought death upon them. As I also see loyalty as becoming a theme in the book  as the characters form a promise that they will not leave each other behind and they'll be there for each other till the end. A they had bonded ad gown to love one another in the friendship they have created.

In my own opinion if you are really into fantasy, adventure and a something to sink your teeth into, then this s a book I recommend to you to read. yes it is a very long book but as you read it, its like you have actually stepped into J.K Rowling's world of Hogwarts as she specifies so man detail through out it. I love the characters as they all brought the book to life and sound like normal people just like us, sometimes the writer makes me believe that there is such school called Hogwarts because of how much of her thoughts went into her writing. But read it trust me you'll love it as much as I do. Believe to me seems to be a theme, As in have the courage in yourself to be afraid of what's out there in the world. Don't let others take in charge of your own lie as there is a destiny that awaits you. just like how Harry's journey is to save his school and become cherished with all new memories with his two new friends. Two powerful quotes to me were when Dumbledore quotes to harry “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” pg 214 As it explains how you should be able to believe in yourself and go onward towards your dreams and do be a coward, don't be afraid to reach for
something thinking you'll fall because if you hit the ground your only option is to go up. As for harry his dreams were to see his parents who've passed on but believing he can try find a way of contacting them even though it is impossible. but as he tries and focusing to feeling alive and always know he'll always have somebody out there that loves him and hi parents inside his heart. Another quote that seem to have stricken me was when Dumbledore the head master of Hogwarts also quotes “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.” pg. 306. As It explains if your you know something bad is bound to happen don't be afraid to stand up and speak , As it takes courage onto telling that to our enemies face on how we feel but also our closet friends that we care about. The book compared to the movie is that the book carries more detail as it opens your mind to think of the unusual to actually believe that your actually there. then the movie in my opinion away from the book has some exact detail in J.K Rowling's book but gives a greater image. makes you want you o believe in this magical place called Hogwarts as you see the magic appear, happening all around you. but overall I love both the novel and the movie version. How this impacted me on a personal level is when I really never really got into reading these novels again after the last book, but having to read it all again is worth wonders, as I believe in things of the unusual that I am alive and I shouldn't be afraid to do what I want to accomplish because it is my destiny.





virtual relationships (multi-media)

 

I first met my lovely boyfriend Jesse through the social networking called face book.I'm sure all you guys are familiar with it, ha ha. it all started off with a simple hi then couple month latter we actually started liking each other. so then we started to exchange phone number, write on each others walls saying how much we liked each other. then when we finally had the guts to finally call each other he asked me out on 9-5-11, and promised me that he'd met me one day.

so who ever knew that social networking would had brought us close and then all the sudden summer hit. and he flew all the way down from orange county just to see me, his family has a bit of financial trouble and so do we. but my dad was kind enough to buy him his plane ticket here and back for a birthday gift since that was only what i wanted. i was nervous when i first saw him but then we talk and look at each other like we've known each other since forever.



i
He only got to spend at least a week and Half and I've enjoyed every once ,second and minute i got to spent with him. we've truly gotten attached after finally waiting a whole year to met each other. but when it was time to leave it was hard for us to let go so we gave each other something of ours so it kind remind us of one another. we also promised that wed see each other soon even if it means if we have to wait another long summer just to see each other again because we both know it'll be worth it. and so far people find it surprising that we've lasted at least 19 months with one another. and I'm glad that I've made it this far with him, i wouldn't change it for the world. and glad that social networking is alive today cause if it didn't i don't think id met the person i am with right now (:

sea of opportunities

under the bright light of the sun,

looking up into the blue cloudy skies

sinking yourself into the cooling soft sand ,running your hands through it wondering

so many things about the outside world

 

About what else to see, who to be ,

the sea Itself brings so much opportunities

like a turtle hatching from its egg, wondering

who to be, wondering is this his opportunity to try and become someone.

 

One day you'll be like that little turtle

and swim yourself into the ocean blue

diving all around the cooling water to see where the sea leads you,

as it takes you to your destiny in life, to who you are to become In the future.

 

this is you.

this is your path, this is your sea

show the world what you got to offer.

 

 

 





fast food advertising and what it brings

both products are both advertising fast food the first one is advertising taco bell's taco pack and the other is a video advertising Carl's Jr hamburger. the target audience feels like its more directed to those who love to celebrate the NFL football games with a good time. the Carl's Jr ad looks like it was more directed to men as it quotes "it'll make you a man" in the video itself. Another product that seems to be selling in the taco bell ad is the NFL game day, perhaps only to get those people more interested in watching the NFL so the channel can get more viewers. when on the other hand invite some friends over and enjoy a taco while the game is on

. On the Mrs.Robinson Ad from Carl's Jr it seems seductive most directly to men and that's what  i believe its trying to sell as well. that perhaps if you eat this hamburger you'll become a man and have some good looking young lady all over you feeding  you some sandwich. but we all know that's never going to happen, but she seems to love eating that hamburger with that grin across her face which can also show that the hamburger is actually quite tasty and can leave you smiling. but i just know just by seeing these two advertisements its actually got me wanting to go to those fast food restaurants and go eat there :P aha. 

online privacy(were being watched..)

whats privacy you ask??
in my opnion its like a diary we write our own little secrets we dont want anyone to find out, but somehow someone takes our diary and just knows everything about us. is how i have my take on online privacy, how were being watched by the gonvernment and people that we dont even know that somehow can steal our own identiy. we cant let those type of people our idenity because there can be only you, not a bunch of other clones. everythign we do is being watched through the face of your computer screen, the websites we casually go on day by day to probably web cam talks. i mean what draws those who want to know our privacy? our privacy is not worth the price. we deserve to keep our privacy and away from others, its not that intresting, as we just live like normal human beings. nothing exciting going on, so why watch our moves?.
