Zombie Apocalypse!

This week’s blog involves using your imagination and creativity. What would you do in an apocalyptic situation (preferably zombie apocalypse)? Think about what you would do if the world were coming to an end. Who would you help save and who would you let get eaten?

Other important factors come in to play as well. For example what would be your weapon of choice? Where would you station yourself or would you continuously keep moving to avoid being cornered? How long do you think you will last? Are you prepared?

           

            Have you prepared at all incase a situation of sorts were to happen? Have you had help from Call of Duty and Nazi Zombies? Think to yourself… How do I get myself out of a situation like this?

Death

Death is a part of life and there truly is no way of stopping it. No one knows when it is going to happen or how it will happen. Since no one knows when it will happen they should enjoy their life and not stress over when it will end. Fearing death is pointless because it is going to happen one way or another, you can’t fight it.

            I think death has a purpose. It serves to make room for new life in the world. The cycle of life and death repeats. When someone dies another life is born. I believe some of the newborn babies were already born once. What I mean by this is that I believe in reincarnation. Someone may be reborn into another body. There are signs of this all around us. A lot of children share the same qualities and traits as our passed away loved ones did. They even show the same interests in certain things.

If ones soul is not meant to be reborn they go to heaven or hell. This is determined by ones behavior on earth. If they behaved well they go to heaven and if they behaved poorly they go to hell. My beliefs are kind of a mixture of a few. I tend to create my own beliefs in everything I learn. I create my own beliefs, values, and morals I do not just go by what society says is ok. But I am getting off topic now            back to all this death talk.

            Despite my beliefs I do not know what to belief sometimes. There are so many different theories as to what happens when someone dies. No one will ever know the truth because no one can tell the story of what happens in the afterlife. I wish there was someway to find out what happens when you day. I am very confused as to what happens in the afterlife. I guess I will just have to wait until the day I die.

            I do not have much more to say about death. I find it to be a pointless topic of discussion. It is going to happen one day and there is no fighting it. Once it happens it happens. So many people in this world are afraid of dying. I can honestly say I am not scared. I mean I am only eighteen and have a long life ahead of but it doesn’t seem necessary to stress over something that cannot be prevented. It is ironic because if you stress over death it actually shortens your life span. Stress causes ones life span to decrease. So if anyone is afraid of death Stop it! You are only making it worse. The only way to make things better is to just live your life like everyday is your last. Do not let the little things in life upset you. Be happy all the time. Happiness will help you live longer. All I can say is death is stupid and when it is my time to go I will go. There is nothing I can do about.

Man Cave

I do believe someone’s room reflects on who they are as a person. It also expresses their sense of creativity. A lot of people have a boring simple room with not much in it but a bed and clothes. To me my room is everything.

            For the most part my room is very clean. Other then a few shirts on the floor it is pretty spotless. I have it set up so nicely that if I wanted to I would never have to leave. I have a mini-fridge in corner and a nice television set up. I also have my Xbox and a very nice sound system I put together. The way organize my room reflects upon myself. I have no closet door so I can easily access my clothes and so others can see them when they walk in. I like to keep a lot of my attire on display for others to notice when they walk in my room. I try to have my attire open for others to see but they rarely notice it. This is because every square inch of my walls and ceiling are covered with pictures and posters and paintings. It took me forever to finally finish it but I did. I found posters everywhere I could and ripped a lot of nice surfing pictures and other kinds out of magazines. It is very interesting. Many people are overwhelmed when they first walk in my room. They take a couple minutes to just take it all in. it can become a bit awkward. When I bring someone new over they sit in my room with silence and awe and just stare at the ceiling and walls. I take pride in my walls. Especially since everyone loves they way I did them.

            My room is a reflection of myself because it is very different. I have never seen anyone else’s room compare to the way mine looks. It is something someone would have to see for themselves. My room is very random and spontaneous just like I am. It is my own man cave. It is who I am when I am in there I feel safe. I feel relaxed and comfortable. I hate being disrupted and annoyed when I am in there I feel like I am in my own world with no stress.

            Another great attribute to my room is that I do not have to share it with anyone. A lot of people I know have to share their rooms with another sibling. My room is mine and only mine. I do not think I would take living with a sibling so well. College is going to be a little rough to adapt to. I will no longer have my amazing room and I will have to live with a roommate.

            As I am writing this I am in the comfortable atmosphere of my room. The doors closed, no one can bother me, and I am in my own world. I feel at one with myself and it makes writing my blogs a lot easier. There are no mindless distractions and when I get overworked and need a break I just stare at my walls. All the fascinating pictures relax when I become tense and my room becomes comfortable again. Although my room is very great it reflects me as I am now and not what I will be. I can not be a kid forever.

Curriculum

If I could design my own curriculum I would make it more interesting then the classes that are present now. Of course a student would still need to do all the normal required classes like math and English but other classes will be offered as well. Different classes would be offered as a student increases grade levels.

First off my curriculum would have its required classes. There would be four years of math and four years of English. Next I would only require two years of mandatory science. I think the other two years should be dedicated to what the individual student would like to do as there career. It would still have to be a type of science but a type of science that relates to a student’s intended career in someway. For example if a student wants to study the body they will be allowed to take two years of anatomy. So far it is fairly similar to the curriculum I am taking at the moment. Where it really starts to get different is the electives and physical education.

I believe physical education should be a class based on someone’s physical fitness. There should be a test every student needs to take every year. It will determine if they need to take physical education or not. If someone passes the test they could use that time to take a class that will better them in the long run.  Along with physical education I would change the way health would be learned. All the types of health should be learned during freshman year. It is all-important information that should be taught at the beginning of students high school career. This will leave another period for an elective of choice.

Now on to electives... there are many electives that I would make available. For starters I would keep all the basic electives like woodshop, typing, graphic arts, photography, film production, and many more. Other then the basic I would add many life skills and hands-on skills classes.  The life skills classes would teach the students how to act in everyday situations. For example I always thought it would be interesting to have negotiating skills. You never know when you’re going to be in a situation were you need to talk your way out of it. It would help when someone is trying to con there way into selling you something.

Hands-on skills would involve a different type of life skills. For example a class on mechanics would be interesting and very helpful. Not many people know what to do when they’re car breaks down having this class, as an option would help those individuals. Other great examples of hands-on classes would be computer engineering and metal shop. Metal shop would actually be on of my favorite electives. Making things out of metal seems like a lot of fun.

Lastly, language class would be required for more then two years it would be required for four years. The catch on it would be that it does not have to be the same language every year.  It is good to experience different languages and cultures. Being multilingual and multicultural is a positive.
