Barrel of a 45....

I personally do not have a favorite song, i like a wide variety of music. This ranges from Luke Bryan, NWA, Shinedown, Boys like girls, All American Rejects, and so on. Well what I am getting at is, my mood, and what my fiance listens to (mostly shinedown) depends on what i listen to as well. All songs have a meaning, and i would even call it a beautiful meaning. My fiances' favorite song at the moment is from Shinedown 45. When you listen to the lyrics you expect it to be about a gun. The chorus of the song is "staring down the barrel of a 45", so i always thought it was about a gun. Then he let me listen to a speech given by one of the song writes/singers. When I sat down and listened to him explain what the song was about it made sense.  It was about his friends family member, maybe his cousin who was depressed and thought that no one loved him ect. He was having depressing thoughts and on a specific occasion the cousin was late to their house where people were waiting. d When the friend of the song writer went to find his cousin, he noticed that the door was locked and there was no noise coming from inside. Long story short, the cousin tried to commit suicide ultimately he failed. The cousin did not have the courage to do it. What makes this song beautiful is that he did not and could not fulfill the action. That he lived and that he gets to live his life. I also fins beats, even if it is a rock beat beautiful. I think it is beautiful that people have the talent to create such great music.

Hell.......o!

In Dante's Inferno he explains that there are different levels to hell, that based on the sinners sins will determine what level they go to. This is just a personal thought, but i still think that Heaven and Hell are mysterious places. And another personal thought that many of you will agree with is that Hell and movies about Hell and the people who go to hell make a way better story, the suspense of what there action was and how they are going to get caught, ect. 

The book of Love

For my wiki assignment i picked the Author Ovid and the first book that he wrote about poetry. When i first came across this article it was a Stub article, meaning that it was a low level article and had many improvements that could occur. The book, Amores is actually 3 books that are combined all together to be called one whole book. The 3 books are broken down with  summary's of what each section of each of each book is discussing. When i looked at each sub book all were completed except for book 3. So that is what i revised, i added the summary for each of the 15 points it includes. I also added a picture to the article, before it didn't have any pictures. I couldn't get an actual picture of the book, Amores but I did get a picture of the author who wrote the book,and underneath the picture it has the Information about the book. So i am not inertly sure what i am going to write 1500 words about yet but it will have to do with something about the books.  Maybe something about each of the different  ideas that are intermixed into the one greater books.

When in reality they are similar.

We are so quick to judge others and make comments about other peoples religion and what they believe in. When in reality they are so similar. The bible and the Qur'an are both books of religion and they help the believers make choices through out their lives. Both believe that there is a Hell.  " God has rewarded them with Gardens graced with flowing waters . . . those who reject the truth and deny Our message will be the inhabitants of Hellfire". When we go good deeds good loves us for them. As for the Qur'an they believe that there are actions that are"Satan's doing" life tge actions of "intoxicants and gambling". Just as both religions just believing and never let God leave your thoughts and prayers and Satan will not have a path to change your actions.

Christianity...

Religion has been around for as long as we know forever. Christianity is important to us and our nation in our modern day for many reason. When we are confused and hurt we turn to god and pray that he can help and protect them. Then i believe that because religion is so important some people talk about it not too much but they throw Christ into every situation. As the book says "when you pray, go into your inner room and close the door and pray to your father who is not in secret; and  your gather, who see what is secret, will reward you". To me this means that you do not have to be public about your religion and do not have to pray and tell people that you did. That when you pray it should be  a secret action, a special action action that you share with you and your beliefs.

Opposite are not always bad.

In Daodejino opposite can contrast, compliment, and sometimes even complete each other. Just as dark and light, one can not fully have a purpose without the other. As dark can happen because their is no light at the time and same the other way. We humans, can not live and survive with only darkness, our food wouldn't grow, so we couldn't have farms, and the greatness sun brings to our bodies, we would be lacking. As same for the light, we humans couldn't survive off of only the sun.  As the same opposite helps the balance of our every day lives. If we didn't have crisis than we would not appreciate the good days. And when we do have hard days we strive to do  better to over come what ever problem.

Ben Carson

Doing the class project helped with this blog.  i wasnt sure to which candidate i was going to choose, but getting the email that made us pick helped me actually pick a candidate. my group was Ben Carson. he is all about family, and the unity of family.

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” -Confucius

"The most important thing for me is having a relationship with God. To know that the owner, the creator of the universe loves you, sent His Son to die for your sins, that's very empowering." -Ben Carson

And Laozi

“There is no need to run outside for better seeing; rather, abide at the center of your being. For the more you leave it, the less you learn. Search your heart and see; this way to do is to be.” -Laozi

"I'm probably never going to be politically correct, because I'm not a politician. I don't want to be a politician because politicians do what is politically expedient, and I want to do what's right. -Ben Carson

These two i thought compared very nice to the words that Ben Carson spoke himself.
