Simplicity By Guest Writer Clark Johnson

Let’s be honest; it’s rather easy to be busy. We all can think up a list of tasks that will overwhelm our schedules. Some might even think that their self-worth depends on the length of their to-do list. some people flood the open spaces in their time with lists of meetings and minutia—even during times of stress and fatigue. Because they unnecessarily complicate their lives, they often feel increased frustration, diminished joy, and too little sense of meaning in their lives.





It is said that any virtue when taken to an extreme can become a vice. Overscheduling our days would certainly qualify for this. Leonardo da Vinci is quoted as saying that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” ies.

Korea

 Looks like there were some recent bombings on the South from the North recently. I cant say for sure when cause I always get my news late.

Looks like South Korea was running some rutine military drills and North said, hey, your way to close to the border. So the south shot a few artillery shells into the ocean to show they werent messing around and the North started bombing the hell out of a small island town for about an hour. Luckily they had shelters and only 2 marines were killed so far from what ive heard but many injured.

Sadly though the war in Korea could get started again anytime now since it never actually ended because they never signed a peace treaty. So we have tens of thousands of troops still in korea, adding up to like 2 million troops from both South Korea and us there. And we are promising to stand by South Korea even tho China is backing the North.

I also have to say that i could be completely wrong about this information cause the news likes to twist thing and i know the Koreas have been doing stuff like that for a long time. I should also state that you are getting this information from a Blog, Not the news.

Sexism and Racism

Some things that really grind my gears are sexism and racism.

Why do women always have to yell about how horrible men are and how they are pigs? Today I heard a woman say "Stop sexism!" then not even a minute later say "All men are pigs!" I think its time a man sued a woman for sexist acts or conduct.
While I'm on the topic of sexes, as a man, I do not enjoy women talking about all the men they did over the weekend while working. I don't want to hear about how many male organs they had in their bodies while I'm trying to pay for groceries.
So you all know for the future this is a form of sexual harassment. (All i said also applies towards homosexual conversations)

Now for racism.
I hate it when African Americans, Mexicans, and such refer to each other with racial slang in public. I hate how they think that's okay to do in public. Sure they say them to each other but i don't want to hear it.
Also so you all know for the future, this is a form of racism and I can sue for it should i feel the need.
Alongside racism, its why white people are having hard work finding jobs. They say its against the law for employers to not hire you for your race but this isn't true. i have seen may an occasion where a white person was passed up for a job even tho they had much higher credentials and a better resume for a person in one case could not even read and dropped out of high school and my best bet it was because they were colored and the company needed the "diversity."

Sorry if I have offended any of you with this post but to be honest, I don't care. I'm just expressing my opinion on how how men and white people are being oppressed and judged because of how they were born. I believe in equality because woman and men are equal in brain power and all colors mean nothing unless you work hard to make it mean something.

Canada

I discovered I have family in Winapeg, Canada. I never really felt very canadian but I have family from there. I guess i can try to get ahold of them but i dont know if they would want to talk to me, seeing how Ive never talked to them before and they would have no idea who I am. O well.

Ô Canada!
Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

Voting

So tomorrow is November second and this gets to be my first time voting. I would be happier but i don't really like any of the people running nor do i like any incumbents. Why do people suck the first year I get to vote? I also feel ill informed of the people running and the props we get to vote on. These books they send us in the mail feel so empty and all research i did for the props brought different results then the one before it so how am i to tell which is right?

Money

Money, something used for currency. Something that if you have it you only want more and if you dont you cant survive. How can something that creates survival be so painful? Something we aquire in our pursuit of happiness wich only makes us more and more un-happy. What is this wizardry?

I have very little money, just enof to survive, and i believe thats all ill ever want because once I have more i will just start buying more stuff and needing more money.

College

Para mi, college has just been an extension of high school. Girls still passing anonymous notes through guys to tell other guys they like them and act like they are hurt when they find out the guy isnt in the mood to date. So even tho its anonymous the girl gives that guy the cold shoulder and calls him names. I seriously thought that these childish games would end after high school.

Another point being that people are paying for these courses, yet they still posses the urge to ditch them because they are borring. Its not ditching, its just wasting money people. I sersiously heard a girl say "I hope I dont get a detention for ditching so much" the other day. No she didnt get a detention, but yes she did get dropped from the course for missing so much. She still shows up and the proffessor keeps telling her but she thinks its still high school.

Rain, Lightning, And Thunder! O My!

And today it rained! In the land of fallen angels, where the ocean meets the sand, there was rain, there was lightning, and there was terrifying thunder.

I truly enjoyed this gift we were blessed with today, and  i know we all needed it. My only regret is the lack of some one special to spend this glorious day with. Today was certainly a day to spend by the fire sipping cocoa with that special someone. Just wish i could have.

We have counted 22 lightning strikes today so far. That is 22 times i missed the chance to feel a woman jump into my arms and hide from the scary thunder.

Student Senate

Today we voted. Fortunately i won co-chair, but the person I ran against was not as happy as I was. She then preceded to state that all the people who voted for me should lose their ability to vote and re-voted and I lost by one vote. Why do people see the need to stack the odds in their favor for unfair reasons? My voters where senators before hand but where rejected because they "favored" me. Don't worry tho, I'm having another re-vote on the grounds that she broke the rules of the student constitution and rules of assembly. Should be fun.

This is Jesus

I would never imagine causing harm to another being on this planet yet it would seem most seek to hurt me.
I shall cleanse the world with my amazing powers of love, and sadly, they are not that amazing. In fact everyone has this power and its simplest form is the smile. A simple smile has the power to lift up the lowliest person and give them the little nudge they need to live on or continue doing what needs to be done to better their lives and the lives of other. This smile, unfamiliar as it is, also has the power to spread like a disease, this is because the person smiling is usually lifted up as well and chances are everyone you smile at, will smile at someone else. this is the exponential growth of the smile.

My next amazing power, is the hug, which is the same as the smile, but harder to get starter, and harder to spread, but far more powerful. I believe you know the rest of the powers i posses, as they get stronger and harder to use. I talk about these because i want all you readers to go out and use these powers we all posses.

No War Is Civil

Why do people hate each other? Why is there a constant need to be better than everyone else is every way possible? The other day i witnessed something truly horrific. I saw two young, African American boys assault some homeless men with garbage. What would posses such young children to such a horrific thing? I know not a one of us can say that we have not been there or have been close to being homeless yet we raise our children to commit acts such as this against the less fortunate?

Beyond this, why must we be in constant war with each other? Competition is good, competition is growth, but war is lethal. Why is it allowed to bully and control the lives of others based on the words we post on the internet, say on television? Why do people believe everything they read or see instead of researching them themselves before they go to war and ruin the lives of other people they only think they know based on the biased opinions of people on the telivision and posts on the web?

October

Sleep seems to escape me lately. Everything seems to want to catch on fire and people only care about growing higher in the game of life we call politics. Some will say "I am not in politics," and I shall reply, "you never left." Others joined committees only to help good ideas die. Why do people give their ideas to the scrutiny of other before going out and getting done what will make them happy? It is no sin to have fun, only to do so in a way that will bring harm upon your body or the bodies and minds of others. People today need to stop being afraid of growth and change and move on towards the better lives they deserve.


So i joined a student senate the other day at a local community college. Everything brought before us was shot down with out a second thought. A good brother came home late from a ghastly party and preceded to catch his house on fire by spilling his underage beer on a computer at 4:00 in the morn. He is fine and so is his house in the hope he will learn from his mistake and grow from it. We can only pray :]
