Wow, this first chapter just contains too much valuable information worth talking. While I read I thought about faith and Kurt Vonnegut perception of what is predestinated, and time seems to be mentioned allot. You notice how he quotes “if the accident will”(Slaughter house-Five, chapter 1 pg2)many times, first used by the cab driver and then he uses later on referring to his son “and another will be “if the accident will” ((chapter 1 pg 20). I think this is just pure destiny, if it’s meant to happen it will, it is faith and hope or some sign that he believes in a greater power. Today I was talking to a friend on msn, we were talking about going out some day, and she said something very alike to “if the accident will” I quote “you never know… maybe causally bump in to each other” (Camila Arango) the you never know has the same meaning, as the accident will. Is the thing you know and want that is going to happen but still you leave it up to faith. I found it very interesting
“I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate on what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go”.(chapter one pg 20) more faith though here he is quoting from a book he read, and it maybe that all the war he had been through got him in to destiny. At the begging he explains how war makes you tougher “World War Two had certainly made everybody very tough”(chapter one pg 10) and he just needs and escape and that could be a reasonable explanation. I felt Vonnegut felt the obligation to write about war and ended talking and because everybody was writing about anti-war books “what he meant, of course, was that there would be always wars, that they were as easy to stop as glaciers. I believe, that too”(3)and he just wanted some laugh in his life. “Poo-tee-weet?”(chapter 1 pg 22) that sounds like a comedy to me. I do not know what to expect from this book but it certainly looks interesting.

Betrayed By His Emotions


I want to make clear that before you read this you note that this is a role-play. Imagine that an outsider who by a miracle was pardon in hell and went to heaven to teach his wrongs wrote the first paragraph. Here he explains Dante’s last words. I as a student respond in a blog on the last chant written by the subject who is in heaven.
“Hold tight”, my master said-he planted like a man exhausted-“it is by such stairs that we must take our leave of so much. Then he slipped through a crevice in a rock” (Inferno, Canto XXXIV 82-85) as they fell down the crevice Dante couldn’t help wonder what was happening, all of the thoughts he had before, that Virgil was taking him deeper in to the inferno seemed very real. Dante suddenly started to feel this hate toward Virgil he couldn’t explain it all the love he had during hell why was he controlled over his emotions. As they arrived, back to Dis where Satan was, Dante did not dare to ask Virgil what was happening, he was afraid that he could hurt him. He had become a giant overwhelmed by his emotions all left of Dante was a big horrendous creature.
Virgil said to him, I do not understand what has gone wrong we cannot leave! Dante in his fury grabbed Virgil and squashed him with one of the cracked walls due to the earthquake. He hit him so hard that there was nothing left of Virgil. You could see a half smile on one of Satan’s head while he chewed Judas. So much had happened all turned black and the next thing Dante knew he was standing in front of Minos, not as human anymore he had become dead he was a soul. As Minos asked him what was his sin He could not speak, Minos tail coiled and there it was the ninth circle, Dante was destined to a life or should I say after life in the Judecca those who betray their masters. He was to be frozen by the ice were he could not move, not breath just stand very still.
Dante’s punishment was the ninth circle, because he vanished Virgil on a rage attack, after Virgil told him that they could not leave. the evilness seen had been so much it simply could not be washed out, they had to stay until it was fixed by a greater power (in this case and angel like the one who opened the gates of Dis or even God himself). Unfortunately, Dante stays frozen in the ninth circle and Virgil returns to the limbo, on the other hand, we learned that hell is not for the alive since our bodies and minds can’t take that much evilness. We have to behave according to what we have and we can never ask for too much like Dante did by going to hell. Though we still have this text because according to the bible it was passed on to new comers in heaven and by accident fell to the earth.

Sharing, Making, Taking it to the top

It is hope in every day, every moment one way
It is respect to each, intolerance is the past
Love is always in our hearts to enjoy it every day.
It is knowledge in my heart, and I want to make it last
I have help for others, individuals they are
I have no hate I am never late, I have a blast
I know power of words, so you are a star
I do not need to fight, I have my own mind
We can share our love, so with you I share my car
Take it or leave it I am kind,
Self and center don’t go with me,
I see through my heart, yet I am not blind

Bound To Fall In Love With Your Worst Enemy

Our story begins in a deserted town. Six years ago, the war more specific a nuclear bomb drove the town to its ruins. We find two people, a woman and a man and they happened to be enemies. Now what would anybody do in a deserted place with their worst enemy? That sounds like the kind of question one would call ironic. This instead of just being ironic is poetic justice, this humans with their weapons, their nationality, their spirit for war “be one of your infantry heroes” (the twilight zone sing posted on wall) destroyed the whole town for they shall be punished.
They do not have a noble cause to fight for they are doomed to either kill each other or learn to survive. As the male says to the women “the only reason I cans see for us fighting is that your uniform is a different color than mine” justice is served by forcing the enemies to live with each other. It is ironic but the justice is not only forcing them to live with each other but love each other. There is a quote that says “when a man and woman find themselves alone things happen”(common quotes). And at the end the narrator explains how “this was a love story in the twilight zone”(twilight zone episode two) so at the end they live happily ever after. I cannot imagine what it would be like being doomed to fall in love with your worst nightmare.

Hey! How did it go?
Kingofw0rd says:
Amazing, it was the most beautiful place I have ever been to!
Dsfna99 says:
Great! Where did you go?
Kingofw0rd says:

Dsfna99 says:
Well I stayed here… but I had loads of fun allot of people stayed. Mm don’t tell me about it I have been there and you’re right the guys are amazing!
Kingofw0rd says:
I was not talking about boys! I was talking about the food and the culture, God is that all you think about?
Dsnfa99 says:
Okay sorry, only sometimes… I agree the culture is pretty different. I think it is totally weird that people have a nap everyday from 12-3 you can’t go shopping at that time everything is closed!
Kingofw0rd says:
Yeah I should have guessed you don’t think all the time about boys, because half the time you are thinking about shopping.
Dsnafa99 says:
Like that’s bad! But I try to take the world seriously like yesterday I recycled.
Kingofw0rd says:
You did? I can’t believe it! See I told you about amounts of paper you can save!
Dsnfa99 says:
Paper? Y recycled clothes and called it vintage!
Kingofw0rd says:
You are so ignorant talking to you is not worth the pain. You know what I’ll see you tomorrow I got to do homework.
Dsnfa99 says:
Ok…

How Far Will It Go? We Can Only Wait. And Wait. And Wait…..


The excerpt has a very clear explanation on what is a blog, yes that is obvious “is a journal or log that appears on a Web site.”(Volume 55 number 2) Sarah Boxer pretty much explains throughout the whole piece that a blog is more than just a journal it is a, free space for every one with access to a computer. For me a blog besides freedom and expression a blog has power. After I read this excerpt I realized how much power a blog can have not only to what Sarah Boxer said “In 2002 it was bloggers like Joshua Micah Marshall of Talking Points Memo and Atrios (a pseudonym) of Eschaton who first publicized Trent Lott's racist remarks at Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party, leading to Lott's resignation as Senate majority leader.” (Volume 55 number 2)This is a strong proof of what a blog can do, it can lead to government resignations either by gossip or by truth and a blog can’t be stopped it is a free place and it can lead to fame or destruction.
Currently, a very strong proof we have is the recently famous blog “Julie/Julia project” which became an opportunity for Julie Powell to write a best-selling biography, what now is a major motion picture. The blog is about a woman who learned to cook from a very recognized cookbook written by the veteran cook Julia Child Mastering the Arts of French Cooking. Julie Powell followed the 536 recipes in 365 days. I came across this particular blog not because of the movie or the book but because my mom. My mom is a cook, and she is always searching for information on new culinary advances or cookbooks, she was very familiar with the MtAoFC and in one of those searches she found Julie Powell’s blog she took much interest in, it was 3 months later that we found out about the success of the book and the Hollywood movie . Julie Powell on her first entree did not know what to expect.
“The Book:
"Mastering the Art of French Cooking". First edition, 1961. Louisette Berthole. Simone Beck. And, of course, Julia Child. The book that launched a thousand celebrity chefs. Julia Child taught America to cook, and to eat. It’s forty years later. Today we think we live in the world Alice Waters made, but beneath it all is Julia, 90 if she's a day, and no one can touch her.
The Contender:
Government drone by day, renegade foodie by night. Too old for theatre, too young for children, and too bitter for anything else, Julie Powell was looking for a challenge. And in the Julie/Julia project she found it. Risking her marriage, her job, and her cats’ well-being, she has signed on for a deranged assignment.
365 days. 536 recipes. One girl and a crappy outer borough kitchen.
How far will it go? We can only wait. And wait. And wait…..” (http://blogs.salon.com/0001399/2002/08/25.html Julie Powell first entry August 26 2002)
After seven years, she became successful and well known to some people, all this because of her blog. This is a perfect example of what a blog can do. It can make you famous, it can get you a good grade in school… it can get you in trouble, it can get you through unimaginable things. You never know what writing this blog can do. Maybe I will become famous for a blog or something like it, maybe no one will ever read my blog? All I can say is “How far will it go? We can Only wait . And wait. And wait…”(Julie/Julia project)
