Halloween- Growing up


It seems like yesterday when I used to set up decorations and buy costumes at the store. I was excited for months prior and I could never sleep the night before. It seems like it all faded away now.

Today is Halloween and I would rather do my homework then go out trick-or-treating.I'm not even very excited today. Maybe it is the hint of strep throat I got last night, when I just wore a t-shirt to the football game and had to walk home in the slushy rain. What ever it is it's not right for this time of year, it must be that i've grown up and I have other things to worry about. It really stinks knowing Halloween is not as fun as it used to because it used to be all I had to look forward to after summer ended.

Growing up really sucks, my brother and all his friends are getting older and I got no one around anymore to look up too. They were all the coolest guys too, Mike Corsi was a stocky kid who always talked to me like a little brother. He never had a little brother but he always helped me when i got in a fight with my brother or needed someone when i was sad. Mike Sonkiss mostly treated me like his friend. He wouldn't speak down to me because of my age and he wouldn't ever make fun of me. Jeff Kinsvater was really fun being around, though he never talked to me or acknowledged me as I said hi to him. He was a daredevil, he would do anything you told him. I saw him broke his collarbone a few times. His arms, legs, hips, hands, feet, legs any thing you can imagine hes broke it. I used to always go trick-or-treating them because they were not only my brothers friends but mine and I really will miss them. Though I do talk to them every once in a while its not the same.

Growing up never is fair, because everything you get when your young vanishes. It's all about the new path you make that shapes the later generations. The better it becomes for them, the longer the cycle goes on, and i think since I had such a great first 14 years I have to do the same for later generations and make life as good as possible for them.

I just wish life was as simple as everything used to be, back when I loved Halloween.

My New Friends.



This is Josh.





It was a warm morning out at the bus stop. My friend and I were talking about going back to school and we were drinking some JONES. He told me how the bus was going to be packed and we will have to sit next to the bus driver, we entered and there was very few, he was surprised, so we sat down and dozed off to sleep.

We arrived at the school, I was excited as can be, I walked to my new locker and tried the combination, it did not work so I tried it again and it worked. I walked off to my biology class because I did not want to be late. I walked in and looked at the seating chart. I was placed by someone I never met before so it seemed fun meeting new people.

Her name was Kyla and she was one of the nicest people I had ever met. She wasn't shy or mean,she was just Kyla. She almost looks like a beautiful princess from barbie, and shes pretty tall. Kyla is practically the best person to sit next to because shes not annoying (*Cough* I am *Cough*), so I pretty much just daydream about her all hour. So anyways we talked and then her friend came over. Her name was Allie and she was pretty too, she is also really nice. I sure do wish I came from their school, because i wanna wear a school uniform and they are all nice. They were looking over they're schedules and as I looked at Allies I noticed we had the first 4 classes together so we talked and i met her. She is very athletic and really out-going. A few hours went by and it came around to math class. I sat down and my old friends came in I talked with them then class started. I heard the attendance and the person behind me had the same last name as Allie, I asked her if they were related and she said ya, they were twins. Her name was Becca and once again a total bombshell, and shes got some awesome hair ( but I don't get why she doesn't think its cool, it is all big and curly). Becca is a really nice girl and she was fun to sit in front of in math because we would always talk when it was work time, but the teacher switched everyone's seats. It was hard to tell but they kinda had some same facial features and they were both very pretty. Also i just found out i have met them before, because my Mommy went to high school with her Dad. But Allie and Becca are really nice, and I am glad I met them.

Last but not least my boy Josh, I met him at a football game, he is basically the equivalent to John Stamos with that irresistible smile , Gandhi with that sense of peace, and Superman with his super strength.

This year is going to be awesome with all my new friends. It's really a fun experience meeting all these new people and So it was nice having new friends in my classes.

Sexes: Breaking the Barrier

After 3 Decades, Iran Names Female Cabinet Minister

Woman's Rights, New Zealand carved the starting path in 1718. The America’s followed in 1848, and Iran is finally breaking the mold in 2009.

Marzieh Vahid Dastgerdi was elected as the new Health Minister of Iran September 3rd of this year. Although this is common around the world for woman to hold power, Iran has not had a woman minister of any position in over 30 years. Most Iranians hold the belief that woman are inferior to men and they are embarrassed of them, compared to the United States that uses Woman for promoting lust in magazines like Playboy, it almost seems like fiction when we think of the reality of what is going on over in Iran and many other third world countries.

Muslim woman have to wear black clothes when they are outside but men can wear white, so its as if they are forced to suffer in the heats of the middle east. Though I have many skills in rhyming I also can see when there is something going wrong, and this is uncivilized sexist treatment.

Though this is a large problem in the middle east this unfair treatment of sex is also happening around the world in places like Japan, woman in Japan are exploited of their sex, brothels in Japan are very common, Geisha girls in Japan are born into being these prostitutes and have no other choice or they will be killed by their " Masters". A long time ago and still current day, men that "own" these woman for creating boys to carry on their name, would give woman strange shaped heels so their feet would mold to them and they couldn't run away. When I found out this was happening it sickened me.

In Sierra Leone the candidates running for president were harassing the female candidates and the male candidates spouses about they're sex. Where is their morality. I mean really, is that necessary. Plus it was not even surprising to the locals because woman are degraded in that country.

Sexual indifference will always be a problem to people around the world. Sexist men are pigs and they should not exist. What ever happened to the 1930's when all the movies were about treating woman well and trying to win them over by loving them and respecting them. Now movies are all based around babies mommas and degrading them socially and sexually.

It's hard to tell if it will ever go away in the world but as long as there are woman's rights actvists, then were half way there.

Capitalism : A Love Story

















Capitalism: A Love Story.






Yesterday I saw the Michael Moore movie Capitalism: A Love Story. The movie cleared up everything I wondered about how the economy got so bad. If you wonder why too, I very much recommend you see it. Basically Michael Moores main point in this movie was that we need to move away from the capitalistic style of government and get back to a democracy. The buzz-words that capitalism is based around nowadays is “Greed” and “Immorality”.


Greed, the one word that defines so many corporations. To list a few, Bank of America, Wal-mart, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, Countrywide, and Fannie Mae, these corporation have become corrupt with power. The United States Congress was bullied by the head of the fed to pass a 700 billion dollar bailout plan that was constructed up over night, as a plan to make the rich richer. This was the ultimate plan for these large businesses because it allowed them to get stronger and to control the nations wealth. But 700 billion dollars is obviously not enough money for assorted companies that have no debt, because god forbid they don’t give their CEO’s millions of dollar bonus’s for Christmas.

Michael Moore interviewed a female widow who’s husband just died of cancer, she explained to him this left her in horrible debt, but the worst part about it was they’re insurance company took a random life insurance policy out on him before he died, ( named the “ Dead Peasant” policy for short) hoping he would die so they could reap tax dollars from the public off of his death and put it toward the company. They made over 5 million dollars over his life.

The 700 billion dollar bailout plan that was passed, was really a master plan to jump start the stock market and used as a derivative ( Gambling Equation) to feed the wealthy once again.

Immorality, the essence of greed. A word that describes one man’s quest for money and cheating the system, Judge Mark Ciavarella of the juvenile courts in Pennsylvania was disbarred for a scandal involving putting innocent kids that did “dumb things” behind bars in juvenile detention centers so he can get tax payers dollars to go to the court, to spend on him self. One of these “dumb things “ were smoking pot at a party and going to juvenile detention for 13 months. No one is saying its not bad to smoke pot, but 13 months behind bars is harsh.

There are many good messages to this movie and who ever reads this should look into seeing the movie for a better understanding of the government corruption and the true definition of Capitalism.
