breaking the rules

Did we ever stop and ask why we break the rules almost everyday? we ignore the rules and live everyday as we didn't do anything wrong. whats so interesting about this is , we choose the rules we want to break. for example we wont go to the street and kill someone, but we will speed or plagiarize, and even lie. why do we do these things over and over again? we do these things because we don't think the consequences will be major or we we wont get caught.but is it really worth it to break all of these rules and think its OK because we wont get caught? well i think not, matter fact i think we should make an overt to follow the rules in general. even though we have people who force the rules on us we still don't follow them. think about why we even have these rules and the reason behind it. if it wasn't for our safety we wouldn't even have these rules. so when you break a rule think about the harm you might cause. and what if someone gets hurt because you didn't care. its all of these things we should be thinking before we even think about breaking a rule. and who knows it can really change the way we think about all of these rules.

Somali Pirates

Do most of us knew about the Somali Pirates? May be we saw on the new the pirates hijacking the foreign ships.But do we know what draws those people to became pirates?i believe that every thing start with reason because being pirates is not good idea and no one want to interrupt the foreign ships.the reasons that made them to became pirates are illegal fishing, dumping of toxic waste, every thing they had was being taking away they fisherman in Somalia tried to stop the trawlers fishing in their water but they couldn't.imagine a father in Somalia who tries to feed his family and the food he bringing home is poisoned fish. the industries use to hire the fisherman stopped working after they found died fishes. people who lived near the sea found skin diseases respiratory infections they get after they eat poisoned fishes. and the people organized them selves to attack those ships and later turned into pirates.

Confessions of a Workaholic

Is it just me or does it kind of seem like jobs control the planet? I mean, obviously they're important and necessary, that's not what i mean. They control the planet by controlling the minds of everyone on it! I've had enough with people putting their jobs before everything else for convenience. HOW DOES YOUR JOB MAKE YOUR LIFE MORE CONVENIENT?! The problem is the way we look at it. We buy things to save time so we can work more but would all that extra work be necessary if we didn't waste the money on some stupid time saving meal or other convenient purchase. Think about it, someone who works every day and gets a thirty minute lunch break probably quickly runs to a restaurant and probably spends a couple bucks on a quick meal that they cant take back to the office. Of course they need a quick meal because they have to get back to work! Think about how much money someone working five to seven days a week could save if they started bringing their food from home. No one would even have to leave their desk to get food! Then they wouldn't miss a minute of work time. But hey, if they're not spending all that money, maybe they can afford to miss a little work time since they won't be needing all that money for their expensive take out food! The other time and money saving strategy would just be being satisfied with what we have! Why do we always need the next best thing when what we have is perfectly functionable? Just like working for money for food, we work so much to buy nice things! Now, that is not where the problem lies. Of course we are allowed to treat ourselves when we work hard to earn money. The problem is not being happy with it! An Example? Perhaps you know someone who just bought a brand new television. They probably put in a lot of time at work to afford that TV. So when are they gonna watch it? They'll probably tell you that now that they have it, how much do you want to bet that they are going to go back hard to work so they can go buy some other nice thing. We need to live in the moment, think about what our families and friends need from us for once instead of always thinking about what our job needs from us. Take a step back and look at the order in which you've placed your priorities!

Non Shopaholic

Why do people love shopping? Shopping is a stressful experience. There are always pushy staff who will always force you into buying products that you do not want. How is shopping fun when you always end up going to the mall shoppping from one store to another. How could you enjoy shopping when all you hear is different loud music from each store? The worst part about shopping is when you find something you like, you must always try it on and see if it fits on correctly. Shopping is not a fun experience, its a stressful experience. How could you shop when ever store you go to has pushy staff who give u a fake smile and try to convince you into buying their products. When you tell them that you dont want their products, their smiles will automacitly fall from their face. How could you enjoy shopping when all you hear all day is loud music coming from different stores. That really gives me a big headache. Shopping is not fun at all.

Username: Jekyll? or Hyde?

Sometimes I think that if I put half of what I've ever posted online in front of my own mother, she'd never even realize it was my writing. In fact, I'd be willing to bet you $100 right now that the first words out of her mouth once she had been told that it was my writing would be "I would have never known. It certainly doesn't SOUND like you." And I'm willing to follow that bet up with another one about YOU. I'm willing to bet another $100 your mom wouldn't recognize your online alter-ego either. Huh? Denying it? Don't. Your resistance if futile.

Isn't it funny how once we jump on a computer, our braver (albeit often stupider) side comes out to play? Okay, okay maybe the stupider comment was a bit much for you to take, but you have to admit that you do it too. Its okay, we all do it. Admitting you have a problem being your sweet, cordial, polite self when you are online like you are when you are offline is the first step to overcoming your - I mean, our - problem. There, don't you feel better? I know I do. Besides, its not like anyone would know your real name is Bob when your username is actually KillFluffyBunniesForFun or anything. That's the beauty of the internet, unless they're a FBI or CIA computer hacker, no one will ever know! Isn't that great?!

Now if you'll excuse me HellCat2000 needs to rip someone a new one. Ahem......

Life In A Cold Climate.

The article " life in a Cold climate" by Bill Bryson appears in the book (am a stranger here my self). This article talks about how Mr. Bill Bryson pushes his body to the exteremes to see if his body can withstand such a punishment. As he puts it, he does it for scientific research and not out of stupidity. One of the places he mentions is New Hampshire as its one of the coldest places on the face of the earth but not the coldest. One morning he goes out to get his morning paper from outside not wearing the proper attire with below zero temperature and it took him thirty nine seconds for him to run back in the house. He was unable to stand in that weather one second longer. The coldest weather measured for New Hampshire was the year 1925 and it was -46 degrees yet 20 other states had lower lows than that. Of those other states (Creek, Alaska) had the lowest of temperatures. In 1971 (Creek, Alaska) had a recorded temperature of -79.8 degrees below zero. The most wretched inhabited place goes to (Landon, North Dakota), which in the winter of 1935-1936 had 176 consecutive days of below freezing temperatures including 41 consecutive days with temperatures below zero. In such temperatures there are many fun things people do to pass time. Like skiing and ice skating and sledding on a local golf course. Others flood their back yards and turn them into skating ponds for the kids. Best of all you can count on winter, as it is one of the endless cycles of reliable, well defined seasons.

Summary of the article " Room Service"

The article “Room Service” appears in Bill Bryson book I'm Stranger Here My Self". This article is mostly about Bryson’s huge admiration for old motels than the modern motels.

Bryson loves everything about motels. Bryson’s golden age appears to be the same time for motels too, in the 1950s. I’m guessing that could be a reason why he so crazy about motels. Even in this period of time, Bryson still get excited by opening motel room. There we two essential types of motels as Bryson mentioned. The good one and the other one which Bryson and his father always stayed at. One night, while Bryson and his family were traveling from Washington, DC to New England he suggested that they should stop and rest at old fashioned motel. Everyone disagreed with the idea, but his wife insisted on having look. The place was totally out of shape, so they rested at nice Comfort Inn.

Summary of "Fun in the Snow"

The article “Fun in the Snow” is from Bill Bryson’s book I’m a Stranger Here Myself. It highlights the author's attempt to enjoy all the excitement that a winter in New England has to offer and how each experience only furthers to enhance his opinion that he is not one for "traditional" winter sports.

As a child growing up in Iowa, Mr. Bryson received a pair of skis as a gift for Christmas when he was about 8 years old. After an attempt to ski down his the porch sent him skiing headlong into the back of the family’s garage, he decided maybe winter sports weren’t something he would desired to do again. Now, 35 years later and living in New England, he found himself feeling left out of as everyone around him is out and about enjoying all that a winter in New England has to offer. Deciding he didn’t want to be the only one not trying to have fun in the snow he decides to accompany his two youngest children when they go ice skating at the local skating pond. Unfortunately his legs appear to have forgotten how to navigate the ice and he spends the bulk of his time falling down before eventually limping off the ice. Next he attempts sledding, which apparently did not go much better because the author refused talk about the experience. Finally he reluctantly agrees to try snowmobiling with his friend, a professor of economics at Dartmouth College, who has been after him for quite a few weeks to give it a try. After a quick briefing of how to operate the machine, the author sets off on a terrifying trip through the dense woods of New Hampshire feeling more like he’s just holding on to the snowmobile for dear life than actually controlling it. At the end of the adventure, they retire to a local pub and it is there that Mr. Bryson finally finds a “winter sport” that he can embrace as his own, winter drinking.

Chapter “Room Service” by Bill Bryson appears in the book Im a Stranger Here Myself. The thesis of this chapter is to inform people about old and modern hotels. He also shows readers that he loves the old hotels.

Bryson always wanted to visit the Motel in San Luis Obsipo, California. This motel was a famous stopping place on the highway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It was the first motel to be named motel even though it was not the first motel ever. Bryson always gets excited he goes to a motel. The 1950’s were the golden age of motels. During this time period Bryson was one of those people who traveled by car across America. There were two types of motels during that time. The first one was very well fashion and the second was not. But the second one was the one that they stayed in the most. This all changed during the modern age. Holiday Inn went from 70 outlets in 1958 to 1,500 in less than twenty years. Recently when Bryson was driving back from Washington D.C, he insisted that they should sleep at an old fashioned motel. He looked for a motel that was like the ones from the good old days. After a long hunt they founded Sleepy Hollow Motel. Across this was Comfort Inn. After they looked at the features of Sleepy Hollow Motel they figured out that they just want to go to Comfort Inn.

Although most people believe that adapting to college is easy, I find it not.
