Ok I don’t want to write about the topic because it sounds boring. So I would like to write about something else like my home visit. I’m going on a home visit October sixteenth through the eighteenth. I’m so glad because I’ve been in my program for four months and I only have had one home visit. I can’t wait to see my family and friends. Oh my moms throwing me a birthday party because my eighteenth birthday is on October twenty-fifth.

I want to write about life .If you believe in confinement and imprisonment, I think you should think of life as a giant prison. In the morning, you leave your cell AKA house and you go to work or school, which are forced upon us. In addition, at the end of the day, we return to our cells, sit down, and relax as well as the rest of the droids in the world.
I think of the world as a bunch of robots in the Clockwork World. Everyday life is nothing more than a bunch of robots forced to do the dirty work of all of the big corporations. Everyday life is nothing more than a prison; isolated within this world we call earth and bound by the laws and rules of what we call society, but in all reality society makes us more isolated than prisons.

What is your favorite season well you see mine is the winter and then when it rains.
See there are a lot of things that I like when it comes to all these thing like when it snows I love it when driving at nighttime because when you are driving and its dark it looks like you in space and to me that’s cool.
And when you go out for a walk and you see all these pine trees that are just covered in snow to ne that is so pretty and I love it when you go out to have a smoke and its so cold that you don’t wont to finish it but you end up finishing it anyway and of course there is Christmas and my birthday so that’s why I love it to and then there was rain.
See when it rains it’s a different story to me love how the rain falls and hits the ground as you are listening to it from your house or your porch and you room with the window open and the way it looks out side as its raining and the smell after its dun raining out side and you go and take a deep breath of the air out side I love all that stuff.
It’s all good to me, so what is your favorite season of the year????
Go ahead and tell me missy

What’s scary?

I am afraid of the dark. I really hate not being able to see what is in front of me. Maybe that’s my problem because I’m scared of the things I see in the dark. Everything is twisted and turns into different things. For example, in any scary movies, what good happends in the dark? Nothing, that’s the point. I am also afraid of being alone. If I had to be alone I would just kill myself. Like in the movie I am Legand, if that happened to me I would just die. I would rather be in the dark with someone than being in the light with no one. But if I had my way I would just be with a million people in the light.

Knowledge and Wisdom #2

I think that knowledge is what is learned and what is experienced. Some say that with knowledge comes power and that with power comes responsibility. This is true and not true. The reason it’s true is because when you know something you can use it to your advantage. That’s the power part and this is the anti of it. If you know something and someone else knows it also then neither of you has more potential or power. The thing that is different between you and others that don’t know the same thing is that you have more power over them because you know something they don’t.

What usually defines who has more power is wisdom. People get wisdom through experience. Those who are powerful but not wise are usually tyrants while those who are either very wise or both wise and powerful are the great people of the world.
The difference is what you do with the knowledge that defines wisdom.

Civilization
Civilization is hideously fragile. In other words there are many things that can disrupt or change civilization. Everybody has their own faults that make them less than and equal to everybody else, and everybody has strengths that make them better than and equal to everybody else. In other words everybody is equal because their strengths equal out their Weaknesses.

Civilization is everything that a human can do that an animal can’t do, communicate, hate, and love. Savage is what humans do because of civilization that make them worse than animals, or things that humans do because of civilization that animals can’t or won’t do.

The U.S. isn’t any more savage than it is civil. It’s civil because we try to help each other usually (fellow Americans and people from other nations). Why the U.S. is savage is because we go kill other armies and try to control other countries.

Because we have the potential to be civil or savage it makes us the most dangerous race of animals. This enables us to be either the best race or animals or the worst. Humans either kill because they are greedy, after revenge, or are ordered by another human to.

Knowledge is what you have learned in school or by somebody and wisdom is what you know from experts and you have been throwing it. Knowledge affects you life by how you might get a job and if you can go to college. You can gain wisdom from knowledge. I have knowledge and wisdom but not enough to do what I want to do in my career. What I mean is I need to learn more things about stuff to be a police officer like how the laws apply to kids and adults. Also I need to know how to deal with people and how I can help people in a way that they would understand. I need to under stand what people are going through and how they are feeling.

HOME VISIT

Today I want to talk about my home visit. it went really well. First I woke up on a Sunday. Then I got ready you know the usual brush my teeth, wash my face, etc…
Then I got something to eat. After that I watched I little bit of iron man. Then my tracker came and got me. She drove me all the way up to Centerville it was like an hour drive there. My mom got me and we went to my grandparents house, watched the football game. We watched San Diego and Miami. Miami won. Then we went to my house. I called my friend we talked for about an hour. After most of the day I went with my mom to the store. After we got back my Nina came over. My dad left to work. Then we went to look for houses.
At days end I went to go see my best friend josh for about an hour. Over all I had so much fun.
