Religon

Religion is somethiing everyone is suronded by, weather you acsept it in your life or not its everywhere you turn. We as humans need something to look up to and to give us gidensce in our lifes, its just natrul to us. religion is extreamly important due to the fact that most of our nation is run by it. if you do not acsept god in your life your an out cast to the majority of society right off the bat. We have it set in our mind, we have been told, even brain washed that god is a must. I as a teenager do not have god in my life and i get look down to all the time. I have even lost some really close people to me when they found out im an athiest, so now i can cofterbly say im agnostic.

Religion ties everything together. The biggest part in religion in my eyes is the phofit, not the phophet. thats all it is, just like when you go to a grosserie store to buy food, you go to curch to buy a leader. Now im not saying religion is total BS. It does bring happiness and comfert, i know this because i see it all around me. The majority of people are lost and scared and dont know what to do with there life, that sucks to have that feeling. We all have been there and we all have our own types of escape, some turn to art like me, some turn to drugs like my dad, and others turn to religion. Its so important and crutial that we have a higher power in our society that if we dident then we would be no where in life.

Religion is important because we all do not have the inner strenght to over come something. Not everyone can be strong, so the weak ones need soewhere to go  and figure out a way to get past a certin situation in life. Okay look, even for the death of someone close to us what do we do? we turn to religion and let go of them. We believe that there life is still in motion. We pray for them and keep them close to our heart with rosserys. We all need something to turn to in life thats not normaly on our everyday agenda.

Religion is NOT important because we will simply lose our minds. Have you ever heard that saying "to much of anything is bad for you?" well yeah that applys with EVEYTHING!So dont dedicate your life to a higher power *cough cough hard core cristins*  I once met a dude by the name of Sunny, i met him through my girlfiend and he was part of a church group. So i agreeed to go see what was up with the church due to the fact i wanted to see my girl. So we wnt out for a while and got to know eachother, it was Allie,  this dude Jessy, Marcy, and me. we all wnt out to eat and ice skating, and within that time i got to know this man. We disscused his point of view as well as mine on religion, we where both understandable and respected one anothers believes. From the second i met this man and shook his hand he was so happy, he was always smiling, always laughing. Now you may be thinking "ok, i see nothing wrong with this man and religion is not bad" well sorry to bust you bubble but he took to high of a dose of God and weeks later he up and left his wife. He left her and met someone else, he soon started to abuse illigal substances and became very low (in societys eyes) This happened simply because he was doing to much and let go of himself.
My point of telling you this is because religion can destroy not just create.

I Dream A World Essay

Simple, powerful, and touching. The three basic things that make any good writing worth reading. The type of piece that gives you Goosebumps, so to say. Without poems, stories, or even quotes like this the world would be totally hopeless. Example; if Dr. King did NOT have a dream our society would be where it was 50 years ago, for the most part. We all have dreams, but only the ones that matter actually move a person or a group of people. I believe that without dreams and self centered goals like the one talked about in this poem, we as people would be no where in life. I see dreams as another version of taking a chance, without them life would have no purpose in life and it would NOT be worth living.

This piece has a lot of areas I would like to give my opinions on. Like for instance, the hopes and dreams coming out of the stanzas are deep and powerful. They make you look outside your community for a brief moment and see what’s wrong in our world. I believe that’s the problem now with our modern society, we all or most of us are pretty narcissistic and only are willing to do things that benefit us. Or we see a problem taking shape and do nothing about it, and that’s what I like about this poem. This man saw what was going wrong around him and he decided to take action instead of give up. He wanted to do what he thought was right in his heart and in his personal belief to change things. We all struggle at some point in life, but it’s up to us and only us to go out and do something about the current situation.

I am Hispanic/Latino and I constantly get profiled and kicked out of places’ that are not the south valley. It’s like I’m always going to do something wrong in someone else’s eyes, just cause the majority of Hispanic people are involved with drugs and violence does not mean they all are. I’m the complete opposite of that, I’m a poet, an artist, a political activist, an athlete, a mentor, come on, I even volunteer to help older and younger people. I’m someone who wants to leave a dent in society and I look up to others that have done that. Langston Hughes clearly left his mark and took a lot of people with him. His name is going to be herd for decades to come, why? Because he did what he knew what was right in his heart. Through a poem or in a protest on the street, this man opened eyes to so many people.

We as a nation need to learn where to draw the line. The whole idea of trying to kick out a race from a specific area is just plain wrong. To some that area was a sanctuary, that’s what your home and your community should be. If you’re not relaxed there you won’t be anywhere. Okay, look things this way if you have a candy bar and someone comes up and try’s to take it you’re not going to let them. Why is this? It’s because that is your candy bar. Now let’s take it a step further, say you bought that candy bar instead of just owning it, with that principal involved its less likely you’re going to just give it away. After all you did apply yourself at a job for hours, trying to support yourself and possibly others. Then at the end of the day you say "hey I want to spoil myself a little and once you whip out your reward someone tries to claim it for them self. You’re not going to just give up there so why do it with anything else in your life?

Now that I have took a moment or moments to get my point and opinions across it’s all up to you to decide how you want to look at what I’m saying, hell is your choice if you even want to sit here and read my views about things.

A History In Time

A History In Time, now thats kind of a self explanatory name of a book. this book is about time and the way time works, in order to understand the way time works you need to understand the way the universe functions. I began reading this book a few weeks ago and it really captured my attention, something that dont really happen to often. Reason being I dont read to many books I like to write them more. Another reason I picked this book because it was factual and i like to absorb knowledge the way a sponge absorbs water. I love the idea of learning and gaining more information so that i can use more in my life. This book describes the laws of gravity, laws of motion, light laws and other stuff that will boggle your mind.

The original writer to this book is the famous Steven Hawking's. Being known as the smartest man in the world and me being a high school student, this book was a major accomplishment for me not only to read but to also understand.

A History In Time is one of those books you walk away from and ask yourself "what the fuck just happened to my mind" i cant speak for others but i can say that this book was something that after every chapter  I would sit there at my cold desk and take it all in at once.

You may be saying "ha this kid is on dope" but no i was not and i dident need to be. This story gave me a natrual high and thats the gods honest truth.

In some chapters it made me conciter how life would be if we could break free of theys laws of gravity, motion, and time. In my opinion i think that if we broke free of all theys laws that our lifes would either break and fall aprt, we would destroy our existence as a species. Another way would be that GIANT step foward into the futre, just like inventing the wheel or a lightbulb or something, but my point is that we could look at they way we see things in a new prospective.

so like that book was up there with anything ive ever red and its really hard to expain. in my opinion this book and the dude who wrote it are crazyly insane, i recommend this book to anyone that wants to open there eyes about the ting they call life and the whole concept of living.

My Wisdom Statement

The world is pure hate,
No one lends A helping hand,
Our love disappeared.

Violence is evil,
Chaos rips our earth apart,
We are now hopeless.

Time to change your mind,
And help another life,
Life is in your hands.

Show-N-Tell

One of the most important things in my life would have to be my sketch books. I have six or seven books filled with my artwork. two of them i carry around with me all the time, and im still working on filling every page inside.
they's books are so special to me because once you flip them open you'll get lost in another world. Art is my escape from reality, art is my reality, its an expretion of self. I can turn A simple thought in my head into another world. You know that commercial with the Butterfingers and it say "don't lay a finger on my Butterfinger" well that same concept applies with my artwork, unless you want to be able to only count up to nine.
We all need inspiration from something to create something Well my inspiration comes from music, mostly a genre called Dub-step. this music is hard to listen to and focus at the same time. The most you can do while jamming to some step is get lost, let go, lose focus. Art needs to be sloppy and not organized if so it wouldn't be worth a thousand words.
I discovered art at an early age but i dident fall in love with it until four years ago. My dad was a controlling manipulative person, he would force art on me and make me sit there a create all something and it had to be good quality. He wanted a son he could show off instead of love. After all the years of him doing that i just became accustom to drawing, as time went on art grew deeper in my life. You may see me sitting in class "slacking off" drawing in my book, but to honest im thinking harder then you may assume. I need to process thoughts on impulse, figure out how to balance contrast, shading, tints, and yeah it gets pretty stressful. During your class im so tempted to pull out my black-book but i chose not to, simply for the fact you are a very interesting person to listen to when you lecture.
So there you have it, my black-books are my everything, just like a book is your everything.
(f.y.i) if you want to see my work i'll be more then happy to show you.
