Typhoon Haiyan

Hey guys so as many of you know there was a recent typhoon in the Philippines. I've learned that it's the biggest in history. It's currently typhoon season there and there are so many people with no homes and lost loved ones. My parents and I are talking about helping out our main land. (my parents homeland) I thank the Lord that my family wasn't hurt. I don't have any family in Tocloban. But, that doesn't mean we're not going to help. So here is a link that you guys should definitely check out! How to Help Philippines Typhoon Victims

Music Monday 11/11/2013

I am in love with this song. It was Decades Day on Wednesday and I went the whole day just listening to 80's music and I caught myself listening to this song all week.

A POETIC INQUIRY

So I've decided I don't like my previous big question so I thought of another.
What is time and why do I need it? Why does time fly by so fast.
People say time flies by when you're having fun but time always goes by fast in certain classes and I'm not having any fun at all.
Okay maybe that was more than one question but that's my brand new BIG QUESTION.
AND HERE IS THE SONNET I PICKED OUT.

On the Shortness of Time

By: Wilfred Scawan Blunt

If I could live without the thought of death,

Forgetful of Time's waste, the soul's decay,

I would not ask for other joy than breath,

With light and sound of birds and the sun's ray.

I could sit on untroubled day by day

Watching the grass grow, and the wild flowers range

From blue to yellow and from red to grey

In natural sequence as the seasons change.

I could afford to wait, but for the hurt

Of this dull tick of time which chides my ear.

But now I dare not sit with loins ungirt

And staff unlifted, for death stands too near.

I must be up and doing--ay, each minute.

The grave gives time for rest when we are in it.

Hamlet Remix

What you do says a lot more than hat you say you will do. Hamlet is all talk and never does hat he says he will. Hamlet talks to himself all the time. Not only that but his conscience gets to him. We all have that little devil and angel on our shoulders and it causes us to make weird decisions. Hamlet over thinks and it eventually leads him to his death.

SONNET ANALYSIS #1

Yes there's some improvement needed in my not taking strategies. 

Music Monday?? 11/4/2013

Hey since it's Monday why not start a little tradition. I'll post some of my favorites or one of my favorite songs that I've been listening to from the week before! Just recently got Born Sinner by J. Cole! Here is the first track of the album and my current favorite. :)
Let me know what you guys think! Also I was thinking about creating a little weekly or just when I'm able to.. Write reviews for current favorite albums/new albums and go in depth and talk about meaning in each song! I'd really like some feedback.

hamlet essay

Being the talkative person that I've been since I was taught how to talk I've been blabbing out sentences everywhere without being aware of what I really say in between those lines. The words we use are how we communicate and present our feeling and emotion to another person. My mom tells me to take clean my room and wash he dishes all the time and I always respond with either: "I'll clean later." or "Yeah, mom I will." What you say is what you end up doing. In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the characters words create the plot which is performative utterance. 

Hamlet's emotions is the reason why he is a horrible decision maker. He is constantly over thinking which plan of revenge is better or which one would benefit his evil thoughts. He has multiple self-talks caused him to contemplate on murder ans suicide. Throughout the story Hamlet starts to realize the power of his words and the impact it has on everything that he says he will do or not do. Not only that but he also realized the consequences of what he speaks of does to others. Hamlet is always setting goals for himself but doesn't fall through with what he truly wants. His multiple soliloquies of causes him  to self-overhear everything and doesn't follow through with what he says he wants to do. Performative utterance creates a way for Hamlet to speak and  show what he does.

I understand why Hamlet does the things he does. He over thinks which causes him to overhear statements and plans and not coming through with what he says. We all have that little voice in out head that guides us to do the right thing and that's what throws us off. Not just us but Hamlet has a conscience that stops him from doing evil things. But, in the end it's all about the way we analyze things. I can say the most negative things about myself. I can beat myself up for not being smart enough, pretty enough, or fit enough. But, in the end it's not worth it. My conscience develops this other cloud of positivity that helps me think the right thing and eliminate the wrong things I say. 

When we hear ourselves talk the way we talk and think about whether or not we actually do the things we say we will do it makes you think: "Wow, why am I not doing what I said I was going to do?" When people ask me what colleges I'm applying to and I reply after I think about if I'm actually going to follow through. And I blame laziness and procrastination for everything that I don't end up doing. But, in Hamlet's case his conscience is what causes him to act the way he is. He's all talk and no action because he ends up thinking about if everything will end up the way he wants. And in the end Hamlet kills himself in the end with the decisions he made all because of what led him on the path to his death.
