Thunderstorms

There is nothing that can make a day better than a thunderstorm. They are wonderful happenings in nature bringing nutrition to plants and animals. Thunderstorms make the day more eventful and can bring excitement to the air. The dark clouds add an effect to the air too. When they roll into the sky, one can see the darkness start to cover everything. The clouds begin off in the far distance and slowly sneak up on everyone. Sometimes, one might notice the lightening and thunder off in the horizon. Then as they gradually creep in, everything begins to plan for this storm. All the plants and animals will prepare and go into hiding. One can hear the crickets and many other noise-making bugs singing their warnings as they prepare for the storm. Suddenly when the clouds have pulled in, there is a deadly silence. Some know it as the “silence before the storm.” This silence takes over the air, and, for a moment, there is no wind and no sound. It is very eerie and can make someone’s hair stand up on their arms. Right after this, the winds begin to pick up. The thunder and lightning roll in to demolish the silence, and big crackles and booms fill the air. Then the rain begins to pour and drench the earth with its nutritional goodness. The tree and plant roots open up and take in this wonderful, basic necessity. As the storm begins to disintegrate, the rain turns into a drizzle and slowly comes to a halt. Not long after, the clouds continue one their journey, and the sun begins to poke through the clouds. The roots close up and prepare for the sunshine. Animals and all kinds of organisms come out from their hiding spots and revert back to their normal mode of survival.

Drama Queens

Every once in a while, we all bump into some over dramatic bastard who thinks everyone is trying to hurt him or her. They always “have a broken heart” because of some lame ex-lover and will try to sweet talk anyone into feeling sorry for them. Unfortunately, they have way too much emotion and not enough logic. There are idiotic situations they will wrap themselves in when all they had to do was think and say “hmmm, maybe this isn’t a good idea.” For example, when someone already is in a relationship and they start talking and hanging with someone they are attracted to, it is probably not a good idea. No matter how bad that person claims their relationship to be, the fact is they are still in a relationship and should get their issues sorted out. But no they are “hurt” and want someone to “love them” so they go after someone else. It is sad when someone will put their morals aside because they are too emotional. This is when one can tell this person has some real bad issues. Whether they are faking or not, it is out right ridiculous anyone has to deal with a person like this. Ultimately, they are selfish and want attention. All they think about is how “bad they are hurt” and never about how must stress they put into everyone else’s life when they dramatize about their problems. I can sympathize for them when they are hurt emotionally but when they are constantly making situations complicated with their drama, this is when I say I’ve had enough. If anyone lets a drama queen get to them, then it can only cause even more stress in one’s life.

Colliding or Exploding Galaxies

Out of the many places or things out in space, galaxies are by far the most interesting. How they came to be is one mind boggling question. There are many different theories on how they are formed and what keeps them spiraling. First of all, there are many different shapes and sizes. Some are more balled up and denser than others, and some have more layers coming out of the center. More importantly, some think black holes are in the center. Others think there are neutron stars traveling at very high speeds. Whatever it is at the center, the whole galaxy rotates around it. Galaxies are everywhere in the night sky. The galaxy closest to us is Andromeda, and it is actually creeping up on us. It is estimated in the very far off future (several million years or so) we might collide with Andromeda. Until then, anything can happen. Our own galaxy could blow up somehow, so one can never know what will happen in the future. It can be very unpredictable with millions of outcomes waiting to be picked. No one knows when something can happen to our galaxy. Why should anyone worry too much anyway? It is a scary thought, but there are more important things in life. As long as one lives their life to the fullest, they can truly find meaning and purpose. In the end, no one should worry about colliding or exploding galaxies. There are worse things that can happen in life, and, if one spends most of their life worrying about stuff like this then their life is wasted. Even if this traumatic thing happened, wouldn’t death be an adventure? Wouldn’t one like to see where they go when their body is rotting or toasted by burning hydrogen?

The Art of Shopping

If there is one thing in the world able to make anyone happy again, then it would be shopping. Shopping for clothes can easily distract someone from the daily stresses of life. The reason why is because both shopping and fashion are an art. When one is painting something, all their concentration is on that one canvas and nothing else matters. With shopping, this is the same concept, but just a different form of art. While shopping, one has to pick out different items and piece it together perfectly so their outfit compliments them but gives them a unique and artistic look. After all, an individual’s fashion is a reflection of who they are. Different clothes give different auras. Some clothes give a sophisticated look while others give a relaxed look. It all depends on the materials used, the style, and how it is put together. First of all, the materials or type of fabric will add certain dimensions to the outfit. If a dress is made out of soft, knitted cotton then tends to look less formal. But if a dress is made out of silk or some sort of man-made fiber, it tends to look more formal. Second of all, the style or how the clothing is designed is what emphasizes the outfit. Third of all, how an outfit is put together adds the perfect touch. For example, if a polo is worn under a sweater and with some jeans, then a preppy but relaxed look is given. There are many ways in which anyone can create certain looks. All anyone has to do is use some of their left brain and they can have the perfect look. After all, shopping and fashion are both an art.

Freedom

Out of the many different aspects in life, freedom is the most important. When a person isn’t controlled by something or someone else, he or she is a much happier and healthier being. That person is more well-rounded and passionate. Freedom is what causes most people to live their lives to the fullest and can inspire people to look for the purpose in life. Also, it is the main determiner of a nation’s greatness. When people are free to think and try new ideas, different inventions and scientific breakthroughs improving living standards are created. In a good way, freedom escalates a society upwards. Ultimately, it is the key ingredient to a good life and a desire for all. No one wants to be told what to do even if someone is “trying” to help out. Even worse, nobody should be under someone’s constant control. Nothing in life is ever learned, and, after a while, one becomes use to being controlled. An individual like this will become too dependent on whatever is controlling him or her and may never question anything or fight back. Unfortunately, one can see this in the world today. For some people, the aspect of power and control over other people’s lives may never go away. One can debate that a certain group of people are trying to have more control over everyone’s lives in the U.S. With whatever is happening, some people shouldn’t assume just because we are in America, we are safe from control freaks. They are still going to pop up randomly in political/ governmental world. What does everyone expect? It is not like power hungry people are going to become an engineer or something else. Obviously, leadership positions are going to be the stuff they are attracted to. Overall, freedom is good and important, but we always have to watch our back and make sure someone isn’t going to take it away.

Mother Nature's Accident

If there is one thing I can prove, it is men are pointless and stupid. First of all, women really don’t need 99.9% of men to reproduce anymore. All they would need is a few men kept alive and bred in cages. When a female would want a baby, she’d go to a clinic where they kept their sperm in a tube, take it, and leave. Also, the baby doesn’t necessarily need a male “father” figure; another female can do just as great and maybe even better. It may be sort of like a lesbian couple, but without the attraction part. In fact, the two females don’t necessarily have to live together. All the “daddy” female needs to do is to be there for the child. Another reason why men are pointless is because all they think about is food and sex. It is pathetic how they think they are smarter. How can that be when their brain is trained to respond to only two things? And it would be hard to change this otherwise. I’m sorry, but you can’t teach stupid. Well, with any other living thing it would be possible, but men are stupid and ignorant. Sadly, this creates a big problem for their gushy, air-filled brain. For them, it is like being stuck between an immovable object and an unstoppable force. Their own ignorance is the main problem though. It is sad, but true. Even with many different things and ways for them to improve themselves, men always seem to revert to their natural state. Unfortunately, females and all other living creatures have to share this planet with them. Maybe one day, everyone will decide to kick them out. Until then, men will continue to roam around like aimless zombies with only two things on their mind: food and sex.
