The oldest person I know

     My grandmother Wyvernia Brown is the oldest person I know. she is full of lots of wisdom a woman at the age of 86. I found out she had so much wisdom when i did a project with here while reading the book "Tuesdays with Morrie". By Mich Albom. 

I have always been close to my grandmother, and she has always motivates me to do the things I want most in life, accomplish my goals in life, and to do things that would make my life full of happiness. It was good that I chose her; I learned so much during are talks. We went thought topics such as life, death, careers, relationships, the world, and so much more.

     The ones I got the most out of were life and death, from both my grandmother and Morrie’s perspective. I enjoyed how when Morrie said, "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live." I also enjoyed when he says, "So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They 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.” "My grandmother said, “When you stop fearing death, you start to enjoy life to the fullest, you allow yourself to truly live.” These things made me stop fearing death, and just worries about what I can do now to live life with as little regrets as possible, and for the regrets I have, don’t focus so much on that it ends up blinding me from the life I have, then not realize it until my life is over.   

Violence

“A world of Violence! Who’s to blame?”

     Many people would agree that there is too much violence in this world. There is war, gangs and many criminals in our society. Most people would blame the society itself.  Our civilization promotes so much violence. It is promoted in the cartoon children watch, in the books, we read everyday, and in the games, we play. It is in the advertisements you see as you pass by the billboards and bus benches you see as you drive or walk down the street. Since society makes it look cool, people do what they see on the TV or in the book, they just read. Oh, and don’t forget the billboard!  

     In 2005, there was a protest by parents against the billboards for the movie “Get Rich or Die Trying” it was one of the leading stories on the news, the web, and news papers\magazines.  On one web article on http://banbillboardblight.org it read “protests by parents and community leaders in a gang-ridden area of  L.A. resulted in the removal of billboard ads depicting the rapper 50 Cent brandishing a gun in an ad for the movie, “Get Rich or Die Trying’”.  Five years later, billboards and super graphic signs around the city continue to display outsize ads with such depictions, sometimes right next-door to schools and in neighborhoods suffering from gun violence.”

 The young people in the world read stories and watch movies all the time. It is so easy to do it, you don’t even need the book to read because you can read it on there new “Kindle Wireless Reading Device” or they can watch a movie on the Ipad. Therefore, it’s a lot easier to look at the violent things our civilization offers. In most movies and books, there is an antagonist in the story, and violence is used by the “hero” to get ride of them. For example, the movie “Spider Man.” No one complained about the violence in that move, yet there was plenty of violence in it. As always, in the end, the super hero fights the “bad guy”, and wins in some “remarkably” violent way that fans love. You can’t forget about the most popular entertainment happening right now, Vampires. There’s millions of vampire books, not only that, we have vampire movies and TV shows, such as “Twilight” and “Vampire Diaries.”  These types of entertainment alone promotes, sex and violence thorough out the whole show, or book.

     Another source of violence is video games. Parent can agree on this one thing. On April 24, 2008, Dave Munger Posted, “Violent video games and Desensitization” which said, “Although not all games are equal, there's plenty of evidence that playing some violent video games can cause aggressive real-world behavior. Sites like addictinggames.com offer popular games whose sole point is to play the role of a hit man or even to torture animals. Over 85 percent of video games include violence.” In Elizabeth Armstrong Moore studies “Meta study: Violent video games raise aggression” she showed that “a study aggregating results from 130 research reports on more than 130,000 subjects worldwide has more breadth than most of its predecessors regarding the effects of violent video games on youths.”

     To stop the violence in the world, we first need to get rid of the violence that are read, watched and played in ever day life. It surrounds us all and calls people in with a mask or in a disguise, it’s usually not seen as violence, it’s seen as “natural entertainment.”  It’s hard for any one to stay away from the violence in this kind of world in which violence in promoted everywhere. It is sometimes promoted as comedy or as in something that’s ok/ normal. How can we stay away form violence if it’s everywhere we look; TV, books and more? 

The Best thing about my home

My Living Room

  The living room in my house is my favorite places in the house. It creates a feeling of security and peace. It doesn't look extraordinarily fancy or elegant, but it still looks nice, and it’s very roomy, it’s enough room in it so that when guess are invited over there is plenty of room. It’s a place where you can relax.

    When I walk in to the room, the first thing I always notice is the window. It a giant window that’s as long as the small couch that sits in front of it. The curtains that hang in front of the window are green and beige. There is a little of the window shown at the top that is shaped like a half circle. Through that small circle, you can see the leaves of the palm tree that it’s out side. Sometimes if you’re lucky, you can see the sun set through the small part of the window. The window has a beige and brown wooden cupboard on each of its sides. In front of the cupboard on the left side of the window, there is a gray chair, that sit’s next to the fireplace. In front of the cupboard on the right side it’s the long couch, it sit in a way that from the cupboard you can touch only the armrest of the couch.  The most relaxing place in the living room is the long couch the sit against a wooden cabinet in front of a small window, and across from the fireplace. I love the warmth that the fireplace gives off on cold days as I sit and read or watch the TV. From the couch, you get a good view of the big screen TV that sit dangle against the wall by anther small window.

     The living room is the best place to get comfortable in the house. From it, you can see a beautiful sunset. On cold nights, you can get warm by sitting in front of the fir place, while you watch TV on the big screen. You can get comfortable on the couch across form the fireplace or on the couch that sits in front of the window. On the other hand, you can just it on the chair right next to the fireplace. It's a secure and at peace place to be.        

Lunch with SuJu

Restaurant we ate at

     If I were to have lunch with any famous person i wanted, it would  Siwon from Super Juniors . We were eating at a fancy restaurant. I wearing a a Sapphire blue dress, which is suju's color, and he was wearing a suit of course. We talked about him preforming for my two best friend b-day parties. we put their parties together since they were so close together. He said that he would do the birthday party for me and bring the rest of suju with him. he let me pick out two songs, and i chose the song no other and sorry sorry answers. he said that that was fine. Then we talked about are families. Families seemed to be something that was important to the both of us.  After that we talked about music, not his career but just music in general. Then we  talked about his love for Christian faith. His faith is strong    then i asked him to sing one song for me and he song strong heart. Then that was the end of the lunch date. ^.^

My Brother

   I have a Little brother
He is five years old
   He like to eat pot tarts
And he's afraid of squirrel
  He is annoying at times
Sometimes he's cut and sweet
  He always wants me to make he something to eat
I love my Little brother although sometimes he's a pain
  He dose silly little things
That makes me insane
  My baby brother hate to go to sleep
So I tell to try and count some sheep
  Of course that doesn't work
Because he's to loud
  And i end up getting no sleep anyhow
My poor little brother doesn't understand
  so my mother always ends up giving him a spanking.

My Restaurant

     If i was to have my own restaurant I would name it 최고 음식  pronounced (choego eumsig) which means the best food. in my restaurant i would have all types of food, such as; Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, American, Spanish and so on. I would have a lot of different workers who have different backgrounds. since there is so many types of food, i would have the person who makes that style of food the best to be in charge of making that kinds of food.
     There would be one chef per food style. the person in charge will be chosen by their skills alone, not by there race, you wont get to be the leader of Spanish foods just because that's part of your cultural background. my restaurant would be big, and i will put it in different sections depending on the style of food you want. for example, if some one wants Hawaiian bar-b-q they will sit in a Hawaiian style setting that would make them feel that they are in Hawaii. i think i would make a lot of money doing this.
