full essay

Its amazing how four words can mean something passionate, "I" meaning me and myself, "believe in" to put faith into and "America" is a place. Though what happens when you put them together? "I believe in America" it means the faith I have in this country, though what about America do I believe in? I believe in its people, because even though they are misguided at most times they have the strength to pull of miracles. They have won wars, made skyscrapers, built dams, they have done things that have changed the world.While you may not see it now, I believe that there is still a burning passion in each human that lives in America. A passion that can change the world, just like it has before in history countless times over.

When I say the people of America are misguided at times I'm speaking from experience, sometimes we just don't know what to do. Not many people make it a living to guide people onto the right path, at times we stray from it and end up in a place where we don't want to be. From my perspective it makes me sad that it isn't a job. I'm not talking about a guidance counselor that puts you in a good school, I'm talking about someone who is there to help with people's problems. People need to know how great life is, that's an America I want to believe in, an America that struggles to live and doesn't give up. Though I am glad that there are some people who struggle to live, because those people can pull off miracles. I've seen them do things that make my jaw drop. There are people that have saved lives, people that don't want to live but keep on living because they are still looking for a reason to live.

To be honest that's what I mostly love about America there are so many people fighting to live and survive in a cold dark world. Sure there are probably millions of countries that do the same thing but America is different, they live for there own purposes. Sometimes those purposes are greedy and selfish, other times they help the world. I don't care if people are good or bad I just care that people live on to better themselves and to better their lives, their families, their friends. This is why I believe in America because people will strive to live, people will strive to make the world a better place.

This is how it ends

Before I get ahead of myself i'm talking about my conclusion for my essay not 2012 or anything else that relates to doomsday.
Anyway as most of you know I'm making an I believe essay that relates to what I believe in America. This is strictly for my school, but because this is my personal blog, I'm going to be a little rebellious and prattle about whatever I can think of right now.
Oh will you look at that I just thought of something. As some of you know, but for some reason I believe that no one knows, I have a cooking blog with only one measly recipe. Mostly because I haven't thought of anything to put there, now because of events that are way to complicated to go into I am making that blog into a more healthy cooking blog, I will try to update it as much as possible, I'll try my best to put a full menu each day.

What do i mean

Hello Earth.
Welcome to my blog now if you have not read my previous post, I would like for you to stop reading, and read the previous post because you will find it hard to understand what this post is about.
You done? Good, now what I want to talk about is obviously what I meant about this intro. Well I just want to say WOW! Because of a simple itsy bitsy matter, the subject at hand that I spoke about relates a lot to my life....
OK you know what I'm going to stop talking like that cause it's annoying me.
OK now I tried really hard to remember what the heck I was talking about, and I mean hard. Now if most of you know me you know how I just I speak, or write in this case, and I have no idea what the heck I was talking about. I'm totally oblivious to what I write to be honest I just write whats on my mind and when I see it I go "what?"
Now usually I really don't need help figuring out what I meant, but for this one I thought I would need a little more information than usual. So I asked a couple of my friends to talk about the glory days we shared together. Now I just want to say, man I was a mean a kid back then, kinda am right now but not as much I was back then. Some of you probably already know what I'm trying to say, and if you don't well let me just say "Well you know how guys are, we do stupid stuff." Sometimes that stuff doesn't even make sense but we do it for the laughs and to see who is more macho than the other.

I believe in America Intro

Its amazing how four words can mean something passionate, "I" meaning me and myself, "believe in" to put faith into and "America" is a place. Though what happens when you put them together? "I believe in America" I think it means the faith I have in this country, though what about America do I believe in? I believe in its people, because even though they are misguided at most times they have the strength to pull of miracles. They have won huge wars, made skyscrapers, built dams, they have done things that have changed the world.Maybe for now you don't see that as much, but I believe that there is still a burning passion in each human that lives in America. A passion that can change the world, just like it has before in history countless times over.

I believe in America

In my mind I find that I think America is lazy, but when I think about it more and more, I find that what I am saying is a lie. America is not lazy it is just that people rely more and more on technology. Though I always wonder what is it that makes America so great that people keep coming here. As Colin Powell said,

"My family’s story is a common one that has been told by millions of Americans. We are a land of immigrants: A nation that has been touched by every nation and we, in turn, touch every nation. And we are touched not just by immigrants but by the visitors who come to America and return home to tell of their experiences.

I believe that our greatest strength in dealing with the world is the openness of our society and the welcoming nature of our people. A good stay in our country is the best public diplomacy tool we have."

I guess that would be the simplest way to answer this, and as he says later on our "openness is also our vulnerability" which was a true fact after 9/11

"bless their souls"

after that we showed fear to others, to others that were coming to our country they came to the conclusion that America was no longer an open country. Driven by fear America just became paranoid about everything, but we shouldn't be fearful of those that come to this open land, we should only be careful not fearful.

Yet still so many people still go to this country because of America's IDEALS, because of its freeedom. No matter how much America was scrutinized people will always want to come here because this is their promised land.

I find it funny that after hearing Colin Powell's essay I can still say that this world has become a little bit brighter. Though I wondered what he meant by his last sentences? I didn't really get what he mean, did he mean an America that welcomes guests and treats them well without getting anything in return? That is the only thing I wish was more explanatory.

An interesting news article

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090907/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_school_speech

Usually I hate politics I'd rather have nothing to do with them, though it interests me how so many people make a big deal from just a speech. In this article it talks about Obama's speech to a children of the country. Before this was even delivered by the big guy himself the thing was put on fire instantly. There are already so many people complaining about what's in the speech and how they say he is exhorting children. I find it silly on how they make such a big deal about it, tell me how would you tell children to do good and help support this country and put yourself in the shoes of the president.
I just want to say that people overreact over the silliest things and I wonder if I'm doing the same thing by overreacting to this article. Obviously I have.

Fierce Wonderings

See here is the thing about these things, I can go on and on for hours and hours talking about who knows what, because I wonder a lot. There isn't a thing I don't wonder about. Though there is always this one thing that nags at the back of my mind. WHY WAS I PUT ON THIS EARTH? I really have no idea, but that is why I'm living right now because I myself want to know how fit into all this. Maybe I'll become a hobo or maybe I'll become some extreme activist that destroys cigarette companies from the inside out. I mean who knows right?

Time Capsule

Greeting earthling or whatever you guys will be called in a year, and if you still are clueless of what I'm getting at I'll give you another clue. It involves me putting stuff in a box and not opening it for a year. Still clueless...silly goose it's a Time CAPSULE!
Of course all of you already knew that because of the title, but if you forgot to read that....well I just don't know what to say about that.
Well as usual this blog post is for school this wont be happening for too long though because my school now has its own blog system so I wont be using this. Well I'll still be using Blogger but it would be sponsored by which is totally different, at least I hope so.
Anyway I have put more then the recommended amount of items in my box then most, all these things represent me in some way. Which is pretty hard to do you have no idea how hard I had to look for things that had a deeper meaning. First we will start with the box itself, this box is a flippers box, not the sandals the ones you use for boogie boarding. Now I love the water I love the beach and well I just thought that the best way to describe what I do in my spare time will be the box itself. The Second item is a heart, no not a real heart though it does look like one, it's actually a heart shaped lock. This represents my quest to become a doctor, but it represents much more then that, it represents an ability I have, the ability to make people open up their hearts to this world. I have yet to find a heart I cant open, but of course there is a third meaning in this small heart shaped lock, I have put in it the combination code of my best friend's birthday for whom I love and miss dearly and with every bit of energy that's within me I hope she's ok out there in this world of ours. The person I am talking about also holds onto my heart, no she is not my girlfriend she's my childhood friend for whom I will love always.
The third item is something I have obtained while writing this blog, and that is seeds from an apple I just happened to finish at this second, and to be frank I think I got something stuck in my teeth right now. Probably right now most of you think this is cheating isn't a time capsule supposed to have something worth meaning? Well I'll tell you this right now that everything has meaning. These seeds aren't normal they have a meaning and this meaning is from my best friend Kim, now this girl I found at that her favorite fruit are Fuji apples which is a breed of apples that has been mixed between two different other breeds Red Delicious & Virginia Ralls Ganet. Of course there is more meaning to just choosing this because it's my friends favorite fruit. After a year the seeds will be ready to plant and I can grow them, yet again what does that have anything to do with this time capsule? Well growing and planting things is also another thing about me, I garden I have my own home grown garden at home right now and to be honest everything tastes delicious. Now, yes there is more to it, nature describes me in such an honest way. I grow, I absorb the nutrients that I can be given, I am rooted to the earth, so I guess you can say I am down to earth, but that's the thing I believe that plants grow to try to reach the sky, I'll always look at the sky and dream. I am a tree, I am a part of this world, a part of this whole equation we call life.
The next item is a picture, that I myself drew, this picture is slightly abstract at first it's hard to see but when you look at it you see leaves and then a very oddly shaped oddly colored leaf. That's no leaf, that's a snake, why I drew it like that...well to be honest I was just BORED. Though I find it interesting on how I can now let that represent myself, I guess I can start with the fact that I am weird, weird=abstract, at least that's what I think. I'm not saying I'm creepy weird, I'm more of a fun type of weird. Now the snake well here is a nice connection to religion, it is the snake in the Garden of Eden, I'm not saying I am the devil incarnate all I'm saying is that no matter how good I am I still have that darkness inside of every human heart, and that is just reality to me.
Number 5 & 6
To be honest I'm kinda actually getting bored writing this and I wonder if I am boring you, ,y reader. If I am just comment on how boring this post was and what I could've done to at least make this slightly more interesting. ANYWAY!!!! The fifth item is a puzzle well to be honest 2 puzzles one is a dragon puzzle I made a while ago, and the other is a brain teaser. I have as I said before always wanted to touch the sky, I've always wanted to be a bird or at least fly, and for those who don't know much about dragons, my dragon puzzle is an Asian Lung and as the name suggest "were" common in Ancient Asia, though I wish it was a Mex. Amphithere because I would have more to relate, because my middle name is Quetzalcoatl an ancient god of the Aztecs who most think was a Mex. Amphithere because Mex. A's are feathered serpents. Now what the other puzzle obviously describes is how hard I am to understand, of course when it comes to doing something idiotic than of course I would in all manners of the word be predictable and easily understandable. Yes I know that was a contradiction but don't you just love how I just try to confuse you.
The seventh item though is something a bit special it is two gifts that my friends made with their own two hands...or should I say four because it was from two friends. They never saw me open them but I every now and then I look at them and smile and just forget my troubles and I remember there are two people out there who love me a lot and they want me to love life, and love tacos.

Love
it is a word used lightly, but it has a heavy meaning with which is hard to describe with words, most of the items in this box has a small bit of love in it. The dragon I built with a friend, the puzzle I got from my uncle, the heart, well you already know, the seeds is for my love for my friend kim, and well the drawing that is just thanks to the people who drew with me and helped me enjoy it again.
This world is vast don't forget, but don't grieve because you will find your true love one day. Trust me I know :)
