I searched the web quite frequently this morning but couldnt seem to find what Im searching for. Im trying to read or determine if other people are having the same ideas as me on the education system. I believe that grades shouldnt determine ones intelligence rather than there judgement on the same foundation of ideas that man has created. If one wants to learn differently or seek themselves as a person rather as a group then why cant they? Man has created the school for every student to follow. Waking the child up early and making them get home late afternoon and work for even more hours on things they rather wouldnt do. Highschool students are having to wake up earlier than grade school students. Grade school students very from 6 to 12 and highschool students vary from 14 to 19. Tell me which age group has the bigger social life. Which age group has to think more and more about there future while the other has to only worry about getting shoes tied and hair combed. Send High school students to school later rather than the 6-7 AM approach. If you ask me it isnt working. Sleep deprevation is MURDER to the brain.
People make us think that having a bad grade point average wont let you live a happy life. Thats not true, most succesful people now are the ones that are street smart and didnt attend college or didnt get there college degree. I for one dont want to go to college. I want to attend a trade school and study what I want to.
People wonder when the next Davinci or Michaelangelo will appear. When the next Socrates or Homer will come about. Those kind of people are becoming less and less because Government created a conveyer belt that carries every student to learn the same thing. To be different now is a miracle and alot of people dont realise that. Socrates or Davinci arent going to be reborn. Rather than Transformed from God's creation and beauty to the Governments Test and Study. Everyone is learning the same thing and that kills the mind that creates ideas. Ideas lead the world and when those are gone what do we do? We cant just act on are behaviors. We would only be running in circles.

Public Display while making Coffee
Nearly 20% Americans enjoy sleeping in the nude. Eric Williamson is one of those numbers. When He woke up on a monday morning with the time being 8:30 AM he thought it was natural for himself to wake up and make coffee after waking up but I guess the police suspected he was trying to expose himself to a woman who was crossing HIS YARD! The woman called the police and probably said something like this, "Oh my god! There is a naked man in his own home making coffee!" To add to the story, she was crossing HIS YARD with her 7 year old son. I mean, any rational person would have seen the man naked and told the child "You see son, that is what a naked person looks like, a member of your same species. That is what they look like naked" and walk off but obviously this woman doesnt have enough drama in her life so she decides to call the police. This story makes me want to cry when I read this because honestly this woman should be charged for being a peeping sally. If the tables were turned and the man saw the woman naked in her house, the man would be charged. Either way the man always loses. I mean for god sakes all he was doing was making coffee in his house! I cant explain how angry this article makes me! The man has been charged 5000$ dollars and sentenced to one year in the federal jail. This is insane! All he was doing was making coffee and this woman went through HIS YARD and saw HIM naked through HIS window. Does this lady go to every neighbors window and wait until something good happens? To make this story more intense, the Police Officer that arrested the man is the husband of the lady who saw Eric Williamson naked! Isnt that odd? Maybe the woman was only jealous of Eric Williamson's good figure and decided that she should call her husband who is probably chubby and gross to come arrest Eric for being better than other people. At least Eric takes care of his body while other Americans lie on the couch browsing the internet from there Dell Laptops. Eric is 29 years old and was born in Hawaii and has a child of 4 years old. In no way is this a fair trial for Eric. If anything this trial should be forgotten about and the police officers should hang up there badges and resign now. There stupidity only adds to the worlds hate against America.
Eric if you happen to read this I am sending 200$ dollars on bail money for you. There is a whole organization for you now. We are getting you out. Ohyeah and Eric, while your in prison remember this; "Dont drop the soap"

Tony Wagner and the Seven Ideas
Tony Wagner has written a paper that I dont fully understand but it is getting me to think about the list he wrote. The list is ordered in.....
1. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
2. Collaboration and Leadership
3. Agility and Adaptability
4. Initiative and Entrepreneurialism
5. Effective Oral and Written Communication
6. Accessing and Analyzing Information
7. Curiosity and Imagination
Teenagers need to have all these key points in order to get a job in the growing economy. I think that Curiosity and Imagination are the most important because I believe that Imagination is a must in order to get ideas and pursue in life. I know that the others are important as well but that last point is standing out to me because every person is different and our imaginations are what creates inventions and ideas that help in this world. In order to make money you need an idea or an image of what to do! Agility is the second most important because in order to live you have to be agile and ready to adapt to anything in this growing world!

Obama-Ization
Obama is taking control. Good/Bad I don't know, and at this point I don't care. As long as He brings the troops home and fixes the economy I'll be all for him. What I really don't get and I need to know is what did Obama do to deserve the Nobel-Peace prize? I don't feel like He deserved it because nothing really happened with Him becoming President, I don't really "Feel" the Hope that He has been implying throughout his entire campaign. I don't hear about any changes in the News that say's Obama really is creating America and the World stronger.
People are getting on there knees and praying for this guy. A school has even tried naming itself "Barack Obama". I just don't really understand what the bug picture for all of what this man is doing. I wish to learn more about Obama and his fight's for better anything. If He isn't helping America He should help other countries that are LESS fortunate than us. To belong in this nation we have is to have a chance at a descent life. But to live in some place's there is hardly a chance to get water for the week. Some people have to travel miles to get just a few buckets of water. Other countries have things such as "Youth Gangs" and Communism that we could be fighting against to help create this world of peace that everyone is waiting for. I know Obama is one man but If He has the word "Hope" in his campaign poster's and slogans then please Obama give this Country hope to help other countries that actually need "Hope".
There are so many things people could be doing to help this world of ours and most people are just afraid to take the chance to even try to understand how desperate this world is. Obama knows the struggle's in the World and I think other people should know. I just think Obama has to put his nose to the grindstone and try to make a change.
I know these things take time but He only has four years and we are already 9 month's in.
Obama, if your reading this. Your a good guy but I just need to actually see the change.

The Pen and the Keyboard (late)
In Carl Fisch's blog "Is the Pen mightier than the Keyboard" He put's up a good fight against the school board that did the study and in the end I think Fisch had better opinions than the opposing party. The Keyboard is in fact mightier than the Pen in a lot of way's including you don't get hand cramps while writing and there is spell check. The pen had it's time but isn't going to go to the end with the keyboard.
The students that were the Guinea Pigs for this test were between the ages of 4th grade and 6th grade. Not once in the article did it say that the kid's were good at the keyboard or what they were talking about. I think those are the most common flaw's throughout the entire study.
In this growing World everything is getting smarter and learning off of the human race and one day the computer will completely dominate the pen in all points across the board. Until now to the end of the pen's days I say the keyboard ends up on top. Always.

One Man's Trash is another families house.
One Man's Trash is another Man's __________ Fill in the blank. Most people think its Treasure but Recently a Man named "Dan Phillips" has been creating houses, yes house's. For people that are willing to rent them out.Seems like "oh He's just building houses. No big deal" well He is building house's, but He's building them out of people's everyday trash. The roof's are created with anything from picture frames to license plates. The floor's are created with cork's and concrete. Phillips creates these houses with only spending as little as possible for concrete and screws etc. Everything else is either donated to him or He finds these trash "Beauties" waiting to be thrown into the pile. This is truly one man that I can look up to when it comes to being environmentally helpful to the world and also being recycleabley friendly. Phillip's is currently 64 years old and lives in East, Texas. He had many jobs including working as an intelligence officer in the Army, a college dance instructor, an antiques dealer and a syndicated cryptogram puzzle maker. I dont know what that last one is but whatever. Phillips currently is designing several houses that He will be renting out to anyone willing to live here. For picture's Visit this link.

Gears of War > Real Life
Derrion Albert, 16. Was beaten to death by 4 Teen gang members outside of his school during a gang fight that didn't involve Him. Derrion was said to be only a pedestrian watching the fight when He was beaten with a railroad track piece and stomped on the face by a 17 year old.
How did our youth become so violent? Are we to young to realize that killing is a sin? Do we realize that we are actually ending someones life. That is like stealing in a sense! Why are youth gangs so popular now? These are the questions I asked myself while reading this article.
My title "Gears of War > Real Life" is talking about this video game called "Gears of War" which is a very violent game where the main way to kill an enemy is to repeatedly stomp there head into the concrete. There is a video of this beating on Derrion on CNN and all over Youtube. I wouldnt advice watching it but its there if you want to. The only way police actually solved this crime was because someone did record this video and put it on Youtube.
School was closed on friday for this school and the 4 teens involved in this crime are going to prison on account of 1st degree murder and the students are 17 and under but there being tried as adults on this murder case.
I will never know why we kill. Even in these genocide's we all know as "War" because In my mind this is just another case of murder.
