Alone

Being alone is rather vague; the term may refer to isolation or simply being different within a crowd that may seem so close. For some people, being alone may even be a good thing, though for everyone, being alone every now and then is vital. It gives us a chance to be with ourselves and discover ourselves who we truly are. When we are with others, we tend to act in a manner that pleases them. By being alone, we are free to do as we truly wish.

It should also be kept in mind that sooner or later those around us may not be there; having prior experience will help us.

Save the Earth

I personally feel that global warming is a major issue in today's world, but is also one that has occured throughout the past billions of years. Not global warming per say, but rather rapid changes in the environment, only once again for the earth to renew itself.

Humans are a part of the world and is growing rapidly; there's no solution to this sooner or later unless one were to commit massive genocide or competition resulted in in a decline in population.

Invisible

Invisibility refers to the state of being unaware or unnoticable. Often times, people use the term to refer to ideas or events that may be unknown the the majority of people, especially negative situatuions that many people would rather not realize. This often relates to non-American situations such as in Third world countriesm, an example being kid soldiers in Uganda.

As such, the "Invisible Children" take name from this idea and use it to represent their organization.

A Book to Read

My favorite book has always been a selection of one of the Lord of the Rings trilogy series. The details within the book are very equisite, as in the the Universe and timeline portrayed by JRR Tolkien. One would even consider it to have enough detail and plot to create a whole 3 movies off of it, all of which won awards and one winning an Oscar.

Movie Review

My favorite movie as of recently has been Good Will Hunting. It portays Matt Damon as an orphan, born and raised in poverty who undergoes a life of criminal and "bad" behavior. He works as a janitor at MIT and often does math problems there, even without formal education within the field. One day, he solves something that would be near impossible for even the brightest student, and he is considered a genius.

The movie seems to take on from this place, but has a great plot while many would agree that it is a classic. IMDB has rated it above an 8.0, which I also consider to be a great score.

Art Review

The Art selection I picked for this review was "Scream", by Edvard Munch. I've known of the existance of the painting for quite a while, ever since I first saw it as a kid on the hit TV show "Arthur". The color blending within the picture is very well blended and gives a very unique vibe. I've honestly never seen something similar to it and it "mesmerizes" me every time I take a look deep into it.
Another picture I've always liked is Time; it seems to portay it as slowed down within the wild west and is very interesting.

We Have the Right

To contrary belief, it seems as if most societies are democratic, even when a dictatorship prevails. Sooner or later, the people that are governed realize that they are unsatisfied, prompting revolutionary change as throughout history. As such, it's safe to say that we do have rights, but those rights are chosen by the society as a whole rather than meeting the benefits of a single person.

Another example is the prohibition era. Alcohol was prohibited by the full extent of the law, but sooner or later, the desires of the people rather than the government arose and alcohol soon became legal again. Sooner or later, the true rights to appear whether or not that is the present being.
